The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Indeed.

Everyone has arrived in Chenjia Village, so what else is there to pay attention to?

What's more, Li Shimin's trip was specially sent to the counties of Dali Prefecture to investigate. If he didn't read it carefully, when he returned to Chang'an, it would be really difficult to discuss it with those civil servants and generals.

Chenjiacun at this time.

Because it belongs to winter.

Naturally, the duck has already been sold.

Although the duck is sold.

But every family will keep a dozen or dozens of them for their own consumption.

"Mom, I don't want to eat ducks anymore, I want to eat vegetables." In a small courtyard of a family, a little boy was telling his mother that he wanted to eat vegetables instead of ducks.

The woman was picking up a slaughtered duck at this time. After hearing what her son said, she shook her head and said, "You want to eat green vegetables, and I still want to eat green vegetables. Ducks are the best. I still don’t want to eat ducks. When our family was poor, let alone ducks, we couldn’t eat meat for a meal all year round. Now we’re still picking and choosing, so let’s go.”

When the woman spoke, she was not so polite.

Even his own son.

The former Chenjia Village.

To be poor is to be poor.

Although it is not far from Sanquan County, it is still a farming-based village.

Every grain of tax that should be paid is indispensable.

Every household is living on food.

And after the officials of the Lizhou Yamen and the county government went to the villages to investigate, they gave this Chenjia Village a good project, which was to raise ducks.

After all, there are a lot of waters in Chenjia Village, which has made the whole Chenjia Village a lot richer in the past few years.

I used to eat less than one meal of meat all year round.

But now, as long as the family wants to eat, they can kill a duck to eat at any time.

From the face of the woman and the face of the little boy, it can be seen that there must be food and meat in this family.

"Mother, don't talk about my younger brother. My younger brother likes green vegetables. Mother, let me clean it up. You can go and rest in the house." At this time, a young lady, 14 years old, came out of the kitchen in the small courtyard. Around the age.

The voice of this family was just heard by Li Shimin and his party passing by.

"Wei Guo, go and ask if you can come and sit with this family." Li Shimin listened to the voice of this family and wanted to enter the house to have a look.

The guard named Wei Guo immediately walked over, "My lady, let me ask, we came from Chang'an and wanted to see the situation of the ducks in Chenjia Village. I wonder if we can come to your house for a while." ?”

The personal guard is also really direct.

Just this family, but there is no man.

Such direct words made the woman and her daughter a little at a loss.

However, when the woman heard that the guard said she was from Chang'an, and looked at the dozen or so people outside the courtyard, the woman became a little nervous, "Daughter, go to the village official's house and find him here."

Although the woman was a little nervous, but at home and in Chenjia Village, she felt a little more at ease.

After the little lady heard her mother's words, she trotted away.

After a moment.

The villager from Chen Family Village came, "Are you from Chang'an? Xiu'e's family doesn't have a man, so it's really inconvenient for you to come here, but you are guests, so you don't have to stick to it anymore, please."

Cun Zheng watched Li Shimin and his party dressed very well, looking like merchants.

But the village is also muttering in its heart, why don't these merchants from Chang'an go directly to the county government?Could it be that you want to buy ducks from my Chenjia Village?

As for directly confronting merchants, Muramasa is also thinking about whether it is feasible or not.

The ducks in Chenjia Village used to be bought by the county government, and the price has never fluctuated.

The village is thinking that if he directly deals with merchants, whether he can raise the price a little bit, so as to bring more profits to Chenjiacun.

"You're welcome, old man, please." Li Shimin stretched out his hand.

soon.

Li Shimin and the others sat in the home named Xiu'e, accompanied by the village official and several village elders and women.

This can be regarded as not losing the village style of Chenjia Village, nor the reputation of Xiu'e's family.

Li Shimin inquired about the situation of Chenjia Village from the shallower to the deeper.

Li Shimin was even more surprised by the prosperity of Chenjia Village.

"Old man, just now I heard that each household in your Chenjia Village has to raise at least a thousand ducks a year, and the county government sent people to buy them. A duck can get about 25 yuan in profit. You can earn twenty or so dollars, which is not a lot." Li Shimin smiled and said to the villager.

"It's not bad for the customers, but raising ducks will inevitably lead to death, and maybe there will be illnesses, maybe you won't be able to earn a penny a year, and it will take a year of hard work." Muramasa I hope every year goes smoothly.

As a farmer, who doesn't know Wan Guan's family wealth, and those with hair don't count.

"That's true. I don't know if Chencunzheng has thought about centralized breeding? When I entered Chenjiacun just now, there was an unpleasant smell in the air. If this is centralized breeding, I think it can get rid of some of the smell, and If the breeding is concentrated, the quantity can be expanded." Li Shimin suddenly had a proposal in his mind.

"Haha, the guests don't know. This method is not impossible, but you also know that each family has its own situation. If it is placed in a normal village, centralized breeding is also feasible. It can be placed in my Chenjia Village. But it’s not possible.” After listening to Li Shimin’s words, the villager laughed, showing that Li Shimin didn’t understand the situation in Chenjiacun.

When Li Shimin heard it, he really didn't understand.

In Li Shimin's mind, centralized breeding is definitely better than separate breeding by households, and it can earn more money.

Chapter 779 You Bi wants to return to the second female battle

Come on.

Li Shimin didn't want to understand.

As far as the situation in Chenjiacun is concerned.

The number of men is pitiful, and there are still many disabilities, and there are many women and children.

otherwise.

Chenjia Village has concentrated on raising ducks for a long time.

There are about fifty households in Chenjia Village.

It will be less than 400 people.

Can be imagined.

In the present moment, this is unreasonable.

In terms of normal villages.

In a village of fifty households, the population would have to be close to 600 to be reasonable.

And the current situation in Chenjiacun.

Centralized breeding is naturally impossible, after all, each family's situation is different.

Just like this Xiu'e family.

There are two elderly people who are sick and lie in bed all year round to support, and three children to take care of, plus there is still land to plant.

This is a lot of work.

But she still has to raise ducks, which makes Xiu'e's waist so tired that she can't straighten up.

Fortunately, Xiu'e's eldest daughter and second daughter have grown up a bit.

It was even worse a few years ago.

Xiu'e's husband.

He also died in a battle in the Western Regions six years ago, but fortunately he left a son in his family.

Otherwise, Xiu'e's family would have no heirs.

What will happen in the end, no one knows.

It is really necessary to focus on raising ducks as Li Shimin said.

Her family had to send someone out to help look after the ducks.

As for her son, it is naturally impossible to take care of the ducks, so she can only separate her eldest daughter or second daughter.

But in the current situation, it is really inconvenient for a little lady to go and take care of the ducks with a bunch of big men.

So I can only raise them at home.

Just like Xiu'e's family, after being separated, her youngest son naturally became a duck watcher.

Even if something happened to the youngest son, the eldest and second daughters could still help out.

And the situation in Chenjiacun.

There are many similar to Xiu'e's house.

Just when Li Shimin was about to speak again, the soldier named Wei Guo explained to Li Shimin with his ear. "Master, there are quite a few government soldiers in Chenjia Village, but many of them have returned, and there are many government soldiers with disabled hands and feet in the village."

Li Shimin listened to what the guard said.

Only then did I realize that the suggestion I just made was really not a good idea.

Subsequently.

Li Shimin chatted a lot with Muramasa again.

then.

Another light meal.

Before leaving.

Without the knowledge of Xiu'e's family, Li Shimin and the others left Chenjiacun after dropping a golden pancake.

The road is difficult in snowy weather.

After Li Shimin checked the situation in Chenjiacun.

I checked the situation in several villages in Sanquan County again.

In the next few days.

Li Shimin and his party went to other counties in Lizhou to have a look.

Every county is different.

Each has its own characteristics.

Jinggu is mainly fish, supplemented by poultry.

And the counties near Jialing River are basically the same.

On the contrary, it is Yiqing County.

But mainly to raise pigs.

After all, Yiqing County is a little far away from the water, so it can only raise livestock.

And this Jiachuan County mainly raises sheep.

after all.

Jiachuan has a lot of land, and raising sheep is also suitable.

And the mountains are also suitable for raising sheep.

And these sheep are usually sold to the south through the Lizhou business group.

On the contrary, it is not sold much in Lizhou.

There is a saying that price is the kingly way.

"Master, we have been in Lizhou for a month, do you think it's time for us to return to Chang'an?" One day, the guard reminded Li Shimin.

these days.

Every time Li Shimin went to a place, he lingered in various places.

As the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, he sincerely hopes that all parts of the Tang Kingdom can be like the counties in Lizhou, where ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment, and through their own hands, they can become rich.
