Chapter 90 Glass Products

"The saint can send someone to the ranch to see the situation."

On the Golden Palace, Mo Shaoheng suggested.

If you don't see that scene with your own eyes, it should be really hard to imagine what the scene is like.

Everyone: "..."

Every time Mo Shaoheng asked the sage to send someone to check the situation, the sage couldn't help but want to go and see it himself.

And when the saint went, they would naturally follow him to see it.

and so……

In Liangjing City, the people saw the scene of hundreds of officials traveling with the saint again.

"How many times is this the first time?"

"It seems to happen once or twice a year."

"I don't know whether to go to the fish market on the pier or where?"

After leaving the city, the mighty team headed for the pasture.

As the leader of the Liangjing Guard, Mo Shaoheng was also responsible for the saint's safety.

Fortunately, this is outside the city of Liangjing, and it is unlikely that anything will happen.

Not long after, before approaching the grassland, someone exclaimed because... the color is wrong.

It should have been a green prairie in spring, but in the distance, one white spot after another could be seen.

Moving white dots.

Zhao Jingcheng and other students were laughing and running the fastest.

When the sage and the officials approached, Zhao Jingcheng and others were holding a piglet in their wrists.

Regardless of the little piggy's whining, he ran towards the saint.

"Saint, saint, the grassland is full of our little pigs."

"Our teacher said that if the people don't buy it, we have to drive them farther away, because if they grow up a bit, the green grass on the grassland here will not be enough for them to eat, and they will dig through the soil and eat the roots to destroy the grassland. of."

saint:"……"

Baiguan: "..."

Anyway, he is also the order of the imperial court. The appearance of holding two piglets is really eye-catching.

Hold one in each hand.

However, looking up, the scene in front of them also made everyone lose their blame.

Piggy, that's too much.

They probably also knew why Zhao Jingcheng and other students caught Piggy so easily.

Because, with just a swipe of your foot, you can get a piglet out of the grass.

In the ears, there is also the sound of humming and chirping.

Mo Shaoheng said at the beginning that the grassland is a good place, but they still didn't believe it. The grassland can't be cultivated and there are no ores.

But now, looking at the scene in front of you, who dares to say that this is not a treasure land?

Even the saint's eyes lit up. With these piglets, the quality of life of the people of Beiliang must be greatly improved.

This level of credit is no different from that of contributing rice.

The other officials also knew that now they only needed to distribute these piglets to common people's families, and Mo Shaoheng's credit would be stabilized.

In spring, there are some breezes.

Everyone walked to the grassland.

The wind and grass are low.

There was a lot of discussion.

Today's shepherd boys have long been accustomed to their nomadic life.

You can also see a shepherd boy riding a cow, driving the piglets leisurely.

Maybe this is their different way of life.

After walking a certain distance, I couldn't see the end of Piggy.

But you can already see the lamb cake and the calf.

The sage couldn't help but say, "Your ranch is doing very well."

Zhao Jingcheng and other students laughed happily, this is a partnership between them.

Their early investment has already been earned back, and now they are waiting for dividends every year. They are shareholders.

For the dividend money, the mansion is extremely festive every year. These young masters are extremely rich among their peers, and they don't need to ask the mansion for extra money if they want to buy anything.

Zhao Jingcheng said, "When the imperial court started spring, it confiscated our oxen to plow the fields, and we didn't even charge for it."

Baiguan: "..."

saint:"……"

This cow is a good thing. If there were not so many cows, the paddy fields they reclaimed along the canal might not be able to grow rice.

Every time an animal is sold, the imperial court also has to collect a lot of taxes, that is to say, the imperial court's tax revenue may have increased a lot.

After walking some distance, I went back to Beijing.

When I returned to the capital, I arranged for officials from all over the country to go to the homes of the people to promote it.

First, for those who are willing to raise pigs, the imperial court will provide piglets at a reasonable price.

Second, the imperial court will assist in the construction of pigpens and guide breeding.

At the beginning, it must cost a little, such as the cost of repairing the pigsty, but once it is repaired, it can last for a long time and can be raised every year.

The people naturally know it in their hearts.

The imperial court did not force the people to raise them, it was all voluntary.

The benefits are also clearly stated. Pigs eat grass and will not waste food. They only need to be diligently raised for a year, and they can get a big fat pig during the Chinese New Year.

A big fat pig, if you save a little food, it will be enough for a year. Compared with the past, you can't eat one or two meals of meat all the year round. It is conceivable how much life has improved.

In the past, it was not convenient to store meat, but now it is different, the price of salt has dropped, so it is easy to store.

Or, the kang is also fine on the stove, and bacon is also a good choice.

This measure, in a relatively far place, people may still hesitate, because after all, it requires an upfront investment.

But the people around Liangjing are different.

In recent years, they have tasted the dividends of pork.

They would have bought some reasonably priced and very tasty pork.

Now, let them start raising piglets, and after careful calculation, their hearts become hot.

They have also seen the big fat pig that rushes from the ranch to Liangjing Chengdong City every day. The fat head and big ears are really gratifying.

When I thought about it, my family only needs to pay some labor, and at the end of the year, I can get such a big fat pig with bright eyes, full of yearning for a better life.

As soon as the imperial court publicized it, they immediately signed up.

The imperial court will send piglets uniformly.

This is because, after all, there is a distance from the grassland, and the common people basically do not have horse-drawn carts and ox carts for transportation. Although the temperature in spring is not too high, if there is no transportation vehicle, it is very easy to cause heat stroke to the piglets.

Moreover, unified transportation also saves trouble, without delaying the affairs of all the people.

That is, the imperial court felt that it was short of manpower again, even the manpower for registration was short.

Liangjing, as well as several nearby cities, took action.

First of all, it is necessary to repair the pigsty for the registered families.

The benefits of unified construction are also reflected. Whether it is transportation of materials or manual construction, there are rules and regulations.

The imperial court can also learn about the pig raising situation of the people based on the number of pigpens built.

This action naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The people living in the city are full of envy in their eyes, because they are not allowed to raise pigs in the city, and they watch the people outside the city helplessly, that there will be big fat pigs during the Chinese New Year.

Are they short of money to repair the pigsty?They are not.

Therefore, when the people outside the city see the envious eyes of the people in the city, they feel somewhat complacent in their hearts.

The city is good, especially Liangjing, which has become like a paradise now, but they still have to buy pork if they want to eat it.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, and decided to hatch more chickens and ducks.

Although people in the city can't raise pigs, most people's houses have yards, and it's no problem to raise some chickens and ducks in the yards.

Just need to fix a little chicken ring inside the corner.

The chicken coop is easy to repair, just like a small kang piled up, with an entrance left and charcoal ash spread inside.

The chickens and ducks are trained a little, and at night, they will get into the chicken coop by themselves.

The only extra thing, probably, is to sprinkle some food every day for feeding, and need to do cleaning every day.

For the common people, this is also a matter of convenience.

In Mo Shaoheng's mind, these people are much more industrious than imagined, perhaps because of the hard life, once they see the trend of a better life, they will make unremitting efforts from the bottom of their hearts.

As for incubating chickens and ducks, it is not difficult. They all hatch by the ancient method, that is, put the eggs and duck eggs in the nest, shut the old hen that does not lay eggs in the nest, and let them squat on the eggs to hatch.

There is no need to worry about the problem of fertilization of eggs, because chickens and ducks raised in free range are not like modern chickens and ducks, which are kept in a small space and cannot move freely, so they cannot fertilize eggs.

Not long after, the first batch of piglets began to be transported to the people outside Liangjing.

Mo Shaoheng also ran to watch the excitement.

There are too many people watching the excitement.

The piglets are pulled by a flat carriage and a bullock cart, and a fence is added to the flat.

It's really gratifying to see the piggies in the car.

Zhao Jingcheng and others stopped riding in their carriages, and followed these piggy carts along the road.

The joyous atmosphere was almost the same as that of New Year's Eve.

For the common people, today is indeed the same as New Year's Eve.

When they arrived at the village, the people in the village had already been waiting.

The person in charge has already taken out the list that was registered earlier, calling names one by one, "Come to pay for the piglets. They are all selected piglets. They are all about the same size, alive and well, and healthy."

He also said a few words casually, "After taking it back, put it directly into the pigsty, don't disturb them, let them get used to it for a while."

The excitement at the entrance of the village is incredible.

Because the price of a small piglet is actually not high, compared to a fat adult pig, it is nothing.

Moreover, the officials also clearly told them that these piglets, like the piglets in Mo Shaoheng Ranch, have been processed by the secret method of raising pigs. Pigs are completely different.

People who were lucky enough to see the pigs driven into the east city of Liangjing naturally understood the difference.

Joyfully took the piglet home.

This is the hope of being able to eat meat in the coming year.

The smile on the face is the longing for a better life, and it not only makes people feel a little dazed.

In fact, there are still some people who did not choose to raise pigs for other reasons, but now they are somewhat shaken by seeing the joy of other households in the village.

The atmosphere is already easy to infect people.

If a village is diligent, then the probability of the whole village being diligent is greater, and vice versa.

The officials will also say some festive words, "If you raise them well, you will be able to eat big fat pigs in the coming year."

The officials are also happy, because if the people live a good life, they have to be credited with the credit, and they naturally work hard when they do things, otherwise, wouldn't they be tired from running around every day?It must be tiring, but it is also full of expectations, but it is slightly different from the expectations of ordinary people.

Zhao Jingcheng and other students ran to Mo Shaoheng's side, "These people laugh so happily."

Mo Shaoheng said, "We should be happy too, we can make money by selling a piglet."

Zhao Jingcheng and other students also laughed immediately, "That's true, according to this momentum, we can sell a lot."

The people watching the excitement around are also congratulating the village.

"Congratulations, you will be able to eat meat by the end of the year."

"This whole head can be eaten by the whole family for a long time."

The wrinkles on the old village chief's face were all wrinkled with a smile, "The days before were hard, and the days when we could eat meat were so rare."

"It's also because I often go to Liangjing. Every time I see the pigs that drive into the city, I have to envy for a long time and stop watching for a long time."

"As soon as there is a chance, I will mobilize the whole village to raise pigs."

"At first, I was a little worried, but the imperial court directly sent people to repair the pigsty for us to guide us in raising pigs. I heard that they will come to observe the situation every one or two months, so as to correct the wrong breeding."

"I'm relieved now, and our worries have been solved."

"The court's policy is getting better every year."

Life seems to have become more vibrant, because they saw the hope of a new life.

The pig delivery team has to go to the next village.

Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Jingcheng also followed through several villages.

Along the way, there were also laughter and laughter.

The only bad thing was that Zhao Jingcheng and the others liked to tease the piglets on the car, and the officials who transported the piglets were really worried, for fear of teasing the piglets he transported.

Among the onlookers, there were also some businessmen from various countries, and they also followed to watch the fun.

They looked at each other.

I always feel that Beiliang has become something different.

The energy is so contagious.

Once a country is full of vitality, its appearance will be different.

Not long after, the sale of chicken and duck cubs in Liangjing also started.

These were hatched and prepared to be raised by the ranch itself.

But now they are busy cooperating with the court to transport the piglets, and the shepherd boys are too busy, so they sell them first.The pasture raises it by itself, and it will be hatched later.

That scene was a bit exaggerated.

A large piece of land was surrounded by a fence, which was full of yellow, tender and fluffy chickens and ducks.

Do you know how beautiful the chicks and ducklings are?

Especially when a large group is put together, it seems that the heart can melt.

The seller was still saying, "We have helped to raise a lot of these chickens and ducks, so that after you buy them back, the survival rate will be much higher."

The number of onlookers has gradually increased. Looking at these chickens and ducks, they really feel full of vitality.

Zhao Jingcheng and others are also joining in the fun.

"First buy, first serve, buy first and you can pick the bigger one."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

These students really are.

However, this is also good, close to life and enjoy life.

The people who heard it were also stunned, and what they said seemed to make sense.

It is also good to raise some chickens and ducks and lay eggs to eat at home.

In addition, they were already envious of the people outside the city being able to raise pigs, so it would be good to try it now.

"If you want, the imperial court will also send someone to guide you in building chicken pens and duck pens, and how to raise them."

"Guaranteed not to procrastinate things, life is more fun."

Even Zhao Jingcheng nodded when he heard it. Since he raised two big cocks, life has become so interesting. Isn't it fun to go home and play with chickens every day?

Of course, his purpose of raising chickens may be different from that of others.

For a while, there were quite a few people who came after hearing the news.

People in the city still have more money than ordinary people, so it is no problem to buy a few.

Those who sell it don't mind at all, even if they only buy one, there is no problem.

Of course, because the people of Liangjing raised chickens, some new problems still appeared.

You can often hear the voice of the little shopkeeper raising his voice, "Whose chickens are running out, and they are all on the road."

"Catch it back quickly, the chicken will be fainted by the car."

"It is not allowed to raise chickens on the road, it affects the environment and is uncivilized."

"If you don't come here to arrest him, I'll go and inform the Liangjing Yamen that they will be seized and confiscated."

Liangjing also seems to have added some alternative vitality.

In particular, the county exam has also started, and the flow of people in Liangjing is even more.

In this bustling city, the new sugar and wine fair organized by Zhao Yanqiu also started.

On this day, the whole Liangjing is boiling.

Because the last sugar and wine fair was so sensational, it is said that it has spread to other countries.

Unfortunately, invitations are still required to enter the Sugar and Wine Fair.

Zhao Yanqiu is a bit busy these days.

Because this year's caravans are several times more than last year's, and they all come here for fame or for a share of the pie.

Been waiting so long.

Zhao Yanqiuguang spent a lot of effort in distributing the invitations.

Do you think it's all caravans coming to participate?

No, since she gained fame last time, this time, the wives of the mansions and even the officials of the imperial court all came to her door, wanting such a gold-plated invitation card.

In any case, I missed the sugar and wine fair last time, and I don't want to miss it this time.

Coupled with the layout of the scene, etc., it is naturally very busy.

Mo Shaoheng looked at the scene, "Why does it feel a little crowded?"

Zhao Yanqiu's expression became a little resentful, "Then I have to have enough people, so I can build a bigger venue."

This is not the plan of Mo Shaoheng's family to raise piglets. Too many people have been allocated, plus the six departments that he is busy all day, these people are still squeezed out.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

It's no wonder that the six ministers are short of directly asking the sages and dignitaries when they are in gold. They are all waiting for officials who will enter the imperial examination this year. It seems that there is really a shortage of people.

Mo Shaoheng was a little lucky, fortunately, he was quite independent in his position as an official, otherwise he would probably have green eyes waiting to make up for someone else.

Mo Shaoheng didn't know yet that the candidates who came to the county for the exam, the officials of the imperial court had already gone to condolences to them, telling them to take the exam well.

Those examinees were simply flattered. Can they be so valued as candidates for the county examination?

Doesn't it mean that after becoming an official, you will look down on people more or less?Why is it different from what they thought before?

I can't help but secretly encourage myself, I must work hard to live up to everyone's expectations.

It's just that if they know the truth and don't know how they feel, others will wait for them to pass the exam and do their best work, so that they can relax a bit.

This year's sugar and wine fair is similar to last year's, and all products are displayed through booths.

But there are also many differences.

There are many other booths this year. These booths are not owned by the imperial court, nor by Mo Shaoheng, but by Beiliang businessmen.

They also put their products on the sugar and wine fair, hoping to take this opportunity to sell a lot of them.

Mo Shaoheng nodded straightly, "The sugar and wine fair is originally to help merchants sell and buy goods."

"It would be good if my businessmen in Beiliang can also develop and benefit from it."

This is the correct direction for the development of the Sugar and Wine Association, not just to benefit Mo Shaoheng himself.

Only in this way can the sugar and wine fair be better and better, and the scale will become bigger and bigger.

Zhao Yanqiu's face was green, "Based on this posture, I also have to ask the sage for more people. Do I also have to rob people like the six ministers? I see that they have been fighting fiercely recently."

Mo Shaoheng coughed and thought, this is your own business.

It's not that easy to rob people between the fingers of those old foxes, Mo Shaoheng said, "I think it's more practical for you to complain to the saints than to rob people."

Zhao Yanqiu: "..."

The place was indeed crowded.

But it also looks more lively and prosperous.

Mo Shaoheng saw that an artist had chosen a good place early on to paint this bustling scene.

Zhao Yanqiu complained and complained, but seeing the grand scene in front of him, he felt a little proud in his heart, "This kind of grand scene was really rare in Beiliang before."

"Don't talk about Beiliang, it should be rare in previous dynasties."

After finishing speaking, he whispered to Mo Shaoheng mysteriously, "Today, the saint will also come."

Mo Shaoheng was startled, and just about to look around, Zhao Yanqiu said, "Don't show anything unusual."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, the saint should not be crowded in the aisle like these businessmen, it is inconvenient and too risky.

and so……

Mo Shaoheng glanced around, and sure enough, he saw a room with a half-open window and a pretty good line of sight.

At the door of the room, there were faintly guarded palace guards in plain clothes.

However, to Mo Shaoheng's surprise, four students, Zhao Jingcheng, Fan Shen, Zhao Yuning, and Yan Chu, were looking into that room with their heads tilted.

It is estimated that an abnormality has been discovered, and I am curious.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

The next moment, the four babies were directly caught in the room, and never came out again, causing no disturbance at all.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

It is estimated that it will not be released until the sugar and wine fair is over. Really, curiosity killed the cat.

Now, the sugar and wine fair has officially started.

Mo Shaoheng looked at it twice and stopped paying attention. Zhao Jingcheng and the other students did a little work, but they still knew how to measure it. Xiao Zuojing would never be so bold as to offend the saint.

The gong sounded.

There is still a high platform this year.

On the high platform, things have already been placed, covered with a red cloth, so mysterious.

Mo Shaoheng walked onto the high platform.

The surrounding eyes couldn't help but look up.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Everyone, we meet again this year."

"New friends are also welcome."

The people below all laughed, as if meeting old friends.

Speaking of which, they can be regarded as old friends, and they have bought Mo Shaoheng's products more or less.

Someone said directly, "I don't know what shocking things Beiliang will have this year. We have prepared enough gold and silver, so don't let us down."

Mo Shaoheng smiled, "Of course there are, and I will definitely not let everyone go for nothing."

Everyone was taken aback.

Just now the person asked if there was something good that shocked the world, and Mo Shaoheng actually gave an affirmative answer.

Shocking the world, who dares to make such a wild statement?

He couldn't help looking at the objects on the high platform that were covered by the red cloth.

what exactly is it?

Mo Shaoheng said, "However, there is only one new product this year."

"But I can assure you, one is enough."

It took a long time before someone came to his senses, "Don't be a fool, my son, how about letting us take a look?"

Mo Shaoheng didn't talk nonsense, "Since that's the case, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

The hand is on one end of the red cloth.

At this time, it can be said to be the focus of attention.

With a smile on Mo Shaoheng's face, he pulled hard on his hand.

The red cloth floats to one side like a bride's hijab, revealing the true face inside.

hiss!

For a moment, there was only the sound of gasping.

Gasps from the audience.

That kind of atmosphere is like a ten thousand zhang waterfall suddenly cut off from the middle, making it difficult to breathe.

On the high platform, a transparent Taoist god standing close to two meters majestic.

At this time, it is the time when the rising sun is high.

We all know what the characteristics of glass are, reflection.

So, what did the people present see.

A divine light shines, exuding colorful rays of light, a majestic and divine appearance that makes people unable to look directly (dazzling).

For a moment, people had the urge to worship.

"It's Liuli Zun."

"The colored glaze of Taoism has come to the world."

Even the saints in the room stood up abruptly, too excited to control themselves.

Zhao Jingcheng's four students leaned against the saint with all their feet.

"Saint, calm down, take a deep breath, it's all burnt out of sand, it's worthless."

"Saint, if you say it in your heart, it's a pile of sand, and no one will pick it up when you throw it on the ground."

"That's how we succeeded in self-hypnosis."
