Zhu Houzhao seems much more capable!

Since he is doing everything himself, Liu Jin is not allowed to interfere in ordinary chores.

Now he is proficient in everything when washing clothes, burning fire, cooking, and even sewing clothes.

The next day, people came to the palace and sent many gifts from the palace, including various rare dried fruits and pastries.

One part was given to Zhu Houzhao, and the other part was given to Fang Jifan.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be upset. There were a lot of things, but it was still not enough to share. After all, there were many people in Xishan.

However, the eunuch pulled Fang Jifan aside. When Zhu Houzhao saw it, he became alert and hurriedly followed him and stared at the eunuch.

The eunuch dared not ask Fang Jifan to have a secret talk, but said, "Your Majesty has an oral order to give Xinjian Bo. Your Majesty said that Xinjian Bo will take care of the prince and work hard and make great contributions..."

Zhu Houzhao's forehead suddenly burst out with blue veins and his face turned red!

What? Who takes care of whom?

Fang Jifan is still very moral, and he feels something is wrong when he hears it. What does he mean to take care of the prince?

Does the prince still need to be taken care of? Your Majesty obviously doesn’t know the prince well!

So Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Please go back and report to Your Majesty, and I say I am very ashamed. In fact, I have brain disease and have occasionally relapsed recently. Thanks to the care of His Highness, the matter of taking care of the crown prince is purely a falsehood. I dare not take it, and I cannot afford it."

After hearing Fang Jifan's words, Zhu Houzhao felt much more relieved, and her anger disappeared suddenly. She grinned and said, "Yes, yes, I will report it like this when I go back."

However, the little eunuch looked at Fang Jifan with difficulty, then looked at the prince, and started to wander.

"If you have a fart, just let it go!" Zhu Houzhao looked at the little eunuch's strange expression and shouted impatiently.

The little eunuch then said with a sad face: "Your Majesty said that Xinjian Bo has always been modest, never taking credit for himself, and being cautious in his words and actions. He had long expected Xinjian Bo to say this, Your Majesty... is so wise, so Your Majesty gave another explanation, saying that Xinjian Bo has made great contributions, and the next day of rest, he would come to the palace with the prince to meet him. The prince has some days to resettle refugees, and His Majesty also wants to hear how the prince has placed refugees."

"..." Fang Jifan sighed, not knowing what to say.

It seems that a person has too much dark history, so it will not be easy to change!

"And..." Seeing that the prince's face was not good, the little eunuch hurriedly changed the subject and took out a small bag, saying, "This... is the pastry made by the princess himself. Please ask Xinjian Bo to try it. The princess said that it is very difficult for Xinjian Bo to treat her illness and I have never known how to repay her. These pastries are just a slim meaning."

Fang Jifan took over the small bag. The small bag was very delicate and with a faint fragrance, a hint of warmth came from Fang Jifan's heart. This was something that a group of big men in the West Mountain could not find!

Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Houzhao said, "What about me, are there any ones in me?"

The little eunuch said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, this...is not..."

“…”

Zhu Houzhao seemed very melancholy.

When the eunuch ran away as if he had escaped, Zhu Houzhao watched the eunuch's back, his face changing.

"It seems... everyone doesn't like me." Zhu Houzhao said sadly.

Liu Jin said happily, "Your Highness, I like you the most."

Fang Jifan raised his face and saw that Zhu Houzhao was a little depressed, and said, "Your Highness, this is because Your Majesty has high hopes for you, but does not believe in Your Highness. You will enter the palace next month. Your Majesty asks Your Highness to help the victims here. This is a good opportunity for heaven. Instead of being sad here, it is better to cheer up. At that time, the scholar will leave for three days and look at him with admiration. Your Highness, can you follow the methods of yourselves?"

"I did it... and every household and every student did a detailed investigation..." Zhu Houzhao said.

"That's it." Fang Jifan patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Instead of mourning and complaining, it's better for them to see the power of His Highness."

Zhu Houzhao's face looked much better now. Lao Fang usually likes to be lazy and pretends to be sick. In other aspects, it is still very good.

He nodded, thought hard, but said, "Why don't my sister give her own pastry to her biological brother?"

"This is because..."

"Give the pastry." Before Fang Jifan finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao snatched the pastry and smiled badly: "It is better to have fun and enjoy everyone than to have fun. It is better to have a share of food. I will try it first. Don't you also say that you should share the joys and sorrows with others and share the hardships?"

As he said that, he ran away with his bag.

…………

The life of Xishan Academy is boring and has some fun.

After some days, Xishan bought a group of cows and horses, and in addition to that, there were pigs.

These foals, calfs and piglets have begun to be distributed to households, and raising horses and cattle has been put on the agenda.

Chen Ao was very interested in a foal he had given away. His Royal Highness and Xin Jianbo asked them to raise horses. On the one hand, they were to observe the habits of horses, and on the other hand, it was said that they also wanted to teach farmers how to feed them. The purpose... seems to be to promote them outside the pass.

The Qianhu House of the Military Farm has found a resettlement site outside the pass and has begun to try to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, especially potatoes, which is the top priority!

In the future, Qianhuhou will set up settlements there. Since we have arrived at the grassland, we have food and settlements, the grassland cannot be wasted in this way. At the same time, it is extremely necessary to develop animal husbandry.

Xinjianbo asked all scholars to record their experience in raising horses. If they raise them well, they should know why they raise them well, what they usually feed their horses, and what their horses are. If they are not raised well, they should also record their gains and losses.

It is extremely rare for farmers and scholars to raise horses and cattle together.

The arrival of these foals and calfs immediately added some fun to the entire Xishan Mountain.

Early every morning, Xiaohuzi would go to the circle to see his foal with his own eyes before he was willing to go to school, and Zhang Sanba began to look for some forage for the foal to eat.

Chen Ao observed the feces, hair and the daily temperament of the foal, and recorded them one by one.

In fact, what Fang Jifan is most interested in is pigs.

The ancients loved to eat mutton and dog meat. For example, the dog slaughter people often say, are actually similar to the pig slaughter in later generations. Although pork is not eaten, it has never been loved by the ancients.

The reason is that the pork tasted sour and refreshing in ancient times.

Moreover, in this era, pork meat production is not high because the pig's estrus period is relatively long. Once it enters the estrus period, pigs are prone to irritability and have less meat.

This is probably no different from people. Adolescents are not only prone to freckles, but also prone to irritability, saying "What do you look at, what do you look at?" They also like to be sentimental and often fall in love for her, making her haggard.

But if the thing below is cut, the world will be pure and there will be no hope in life. It is nothing more than eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and letting the world rise and fall, I will be calm and calm.

Therefore, when castrated pigs, not only will the pork remove the slutiness, but the pork is easily loved by people. It does not have to add a large amount of ingredients to cover up the stinky smell like this in this era, in order to cover up the smell, and make Dongpo pork before it can be eaten.

But even so, there are still not many people who like to eat pork, and people still prefer more mutton. But if the fishy smell can be removed, it will be very different. The number of people who can accept pork will inevitably increase greatly.

In addition, it can greatly increase the meat production. Pigs without castration are impulsive and irritable, and they are extremely restless. They like to wander around and are not easy to gain meat. But if they are castrated, the meat production will be extremely high.

In fact, castrated pigs have appeared since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they have not been widely popularized. The reason is that castration of pigs and inability to disinfect them in time, which can easily lead to the death of pigs!

Think about it, if you castrate ten pigs, seven or eight died. Even if the remaining pigs grow better, produce higher meat, and the meat is delicious, even if the pigs only need to be stocked, it just wanders around slowly and slowly, without worrying that it will rush around like an uncastrated pig, and it will have to spend a lot of manpower to watch them. You may not be willing to castrate the pigs.

So, to solve the problem of castration, the first thing to consider is to disinfect at a low cost to ensure the survival rate of castrated pigs.

Fang Jifan specially searched for farmers to learn about it.

Many farmers would rather raise sheep. On the one hand, the mutton is selling at a better price. On the other hand, the pigs and sheep in this era are actually labor-intensive. They must have special pigherds and shepherds to watch, otherwise they will easily get lost. In addition, the pig yield rate in this era is actually not much higher than that of sheep. Fang Jifan has seen pigs here, but they are indeed not fat. Like sheep, they are skin and bone-like, and they have no image of a fat pig in later generations.

The disappearance of the profession of swineherds was after the popularity of castrated pigs.

In short, in this era, meat is a luxury. If you want to enter the homes of ordinary people, you must find a kind of high-yield livestock.

Pig... became Fang Jifan's goal.

When Zhu Houzhao heard that she wanted to raise pigs, she seemed extremely unhappy!

The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit pig farming, but after Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, who was Zhu Houzhao in history, ascended the throne, issued an order to prohibit eating pork, thinking that the pig was a bit in conflict with him.

From this we can see how much resentment Zhu Houzhao has towards raising pigs...

Fang Jifan almost dragged Zhu Houzhao and said, "This is a pig, not a pig. People who say pigs are all uneducated people. Your Highness, isn't our goal to make countless people live a good life? What's the good thing about beef? The pig meat is delicious and very delicious."

"I would rather kill all the cows in the world!" Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I will never eat pigs... pigs..."

But although Zhu Houzhao was reluctant, she still obediently followed Fang Jifan to a circle, and Liu Jin also followed excitedly, looking around.
