Of course, these matters don't need to go through Li Yue, the stewards in the palace can decide.An incubator has been built on Zhuangzi, and several women who were in charge of breeding have also been promoted, and they have received an extra salary in the palace. Individuals mentioned how positive they are.The palace people in the Tang and Song Dynasties were not like later, they would be released from the palace when they got older. As long as they encountered any special circumstances, such as a major natural disaster, or an important person in the palace fell ill, they would be released from the palace. It was attributed to the fact that the palace people were too resentful, and some older palace people would be released.However, these palace people really left the palace, in fact, they may not have a good life.In the palace, even if you are too old to work, you can still guarantee food and clothing after all.But after leaving the palace, the maids are generally not too young, and they have to marry, but under normal circumstances, they don't have a good choice, and generally they can only be married to some old bachelors or even widowers.On the one hand, it is the gap in life, on the other hand, it is the difference in three views, which makes their married life generally not very happy.

This is pretty good. Those who are willing to let a girl in the family enter the palace to be a palace maid are either poor or have a complicated family situation.These days, the kind of plots where the palace ladies counterattack are not popular, the palace ladies are the palace ladies, like Li Zhong's biological mother, the eldest son of the emperor was born, Li Zhi ascended the throne, but he didn't get any position. What a slut!Therefore, it is often necessary to select maids from among the people in the palace, which is actually like buying slaves from rich and noble families, buying them out directly for a sum of money.When these palace maids return to their natal homes, they will often be sold again. Knowing more, many palace maids would rather resell themselves into rich families as slaves than return to their natal homes.

And if they can leave the palace with the princes and princesses of the branch government, it is actually a good way for these palace people. They can have more choices. People's servants are average, or they are old enough to be betrothed to the guards of the palace. They are first-class in management. Those who don't want to marry can directly work in the palace to teach the maids who are selected later, and the palace will also provide for them.

However, those who don't get married also get points for the old-age care. They can only rely on the little allowance given by the palace. There is no problem with food and clothing, but it is impossible to get too nourished.In particular, when they were young, most of them had to do all kinds of rough work, and it was inevitable that they would fall into some problems. When they got older, they would naturally have to take good care of them. Maybe they would not be able to move easily at that time, and they would have to spend money to beg someone to help them run errands. Therefore, if you don’t accumulate more money, you will not have much protection for old age.The same is true for those who are married. Those who can be betrothed to the guards are at least high-ranking female officials in the mansion. If you want to seek a future, if you only want to enter the palace and continue to serve, you will spend less, but if you want to seek a fat job, or want to make a good living after being released, then you have to make plans early.

For example, the women selected this time all have families and mouths. Even if they are doing things for their children, they have to do things carefully. Well, in addition to getting an extra share of money, you can also get a certain commission, so one by one works harder than the other.

Then again, the other party ran over, not only wanting the cubs, but also Fang Zi who hatched the cubs.Compared with livestock, raising poultry is a more cost-effective choice, and their appetites are not big. Even if today's breeds don't lay eggs every day like later generations, but as long as they are well served, an egg every two or three days is no problem. However, in the past, due to the problem of hatching efficiency, it was just a small operation of the farm family, and the scale could not be large. If Huang Pizi came to the door, the chickens and ducks would be given away for nothing. If you want to raise them again, you have to Wait a long time.

Therefore, the market for this thing is huge, and even some tribes on the grassland have demand for it. After all, it’s the same sentence. Don’t think that these tribes on the grassland can often eat meat because they raise so many cattle and sheep. Their staple food is Dairy products, the frequency of eating meat is actually very low, that is, the leaders and nobles of each tribe are first-class, so they can be more relaxed in this regard, but generally they dare not kill cattle and sheep casually, because raising these livestock is very risky. Big ones, even if they are not raised in captivity, various diseases are also a problem. In the case of snowstorms in winter, a lot of cattle and sheep will be lost.In addition, some cattle and sheep will be used to trade with merchants. They need food, pottery, ironware, brick tea, and some necessary medicinal materials.When the relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty was tense, if you want to get these, you have to rely on those brave and well-connected businessmen to smuggle them, and the price will only be more expensive.It would be different if some chickens and ducks could be mixed in and out. The grasslands could be free-ranged without much effort, at most it would be troublesome to pick up eggs, but at least one year could provide these herdsmen with a lot of meat.

Li Yue didn't hide it either, and it was impossible for him to monopolize this business. After all, all he could influence was the vicinity of Ningzhou, or even the vicinity of his own Zhuangzi. Given the traffic conditions of this era, he wanted to sell dozens of It is a problem both inside and outside, and the transportation cost is too high!It doesn’t cost much to incubate these things, just get a heated kang, and then someone will keep an eye on the temperature and turn it frequently. However, for ordinary people, they really don’t have this condition. How much charcoal did you spend last month?In addition, manpower is also a problem. For ordinary people, if they want to find out the most suitable temperature and maintain it, they have to pay a lot of tuition fees alone. They don't have this kind of capital investment, and only those families with money and people have this. capital.

Li Yue's original intention was not to make money from this matter, he just wanted to add some protein to the diet of the people, so he didn't even ask for a high price, but the other party couldn't restrict him from selling it to others .

Li Yue is also a chicken thief. Now that he found out that someone wanted this hatching recipe, he simply started writing letters to people who are acquainted with him, asking them if they want to learn. If they find it troublesome, he can give a preliminary version. Yes, they can go back and try on their own. If they are not at ease, they can send someone over to study. He will provide teaching and training.

Li Yue didn't say how much it was, but the people who could deal with Li Yue were all decent people. Li Yue gave them such a big benefit, even if many people got it, it was still a favor.It's like Fang Yi'ai sold movable type printing back then. The price was not high, and it was all a human price, but these people would not fail to express it. In addition to giving money, it will be reflected in the gift list of every new year and festival.

As for the palace, Li Yue just mentioned this matter, after all, in his opinion, this is actually a trivial matter, nothing to worry about.In fact, for Li Zhi, this is really just a trivial matter. For the emperor, unless it is of such a particularly great benefit, otherwise, such things related to people's livelihood will not be taken seriously by the royal family. Every household can raise ten or eight chickens and ducks. People can eat eggs and duck eggs since they were young. It is a good thing for both the population size and the overall quality of the population. In fact, it also increases taxes for the country and has the potential for war!

When Li Zhi heard the news, he even praised Li Yue to Empress Wu for his grandeur. Ordinary people have such a prescription, and wish they could hide it tightly, for fear of being robbed of their wealth by others, but Li Yue is just a small price. , it is almost considered to have made the recipe public.

Empress Wu admired Li Yue's deeds. When she reached her status, what she valued was actually a person's magnanimity. The courage to regard money as dung, in addition, the temperament is not narrow-minded, quite generous, this is actually the quality that a superior should possess, which makes Empress Wu secretly proud, after all, this child was born by herself, in this respect it is like yourself!

On Li Yue's side, more attention has been put on the wool business. Last year, when they bought sheep, they shaved them and then killed them for meat. This year is different. Those tribes on the grassland have long heard the news The caravan from Ningzhou knew about the purchase of wool here, and even gave them a lot of special combs, so that they could comb the layer of cashmere from the sheep. The original price of a sheep, in addition, before the summer, they can shave the wool off the sheep and sell it directly to those caravans. All the food needed is already available.

A large amount of wool was sent to Ningzhou, and then sent to be cleaned and sorted. After cleaning, it was sent to the textile factory.Li Yue didn't make any hydraulic textile machines first. To make too advanced automation in this era when productivity is actually relatively low is to take away people's opportunities. When the landlords don't need people to farm, they will only want to The way is to force more people to death, so that they have more land and wealth, because they don't need more manpower to work for them.Therefore, what Li Yue used was the shuttle loom. For a long time before, skilled female workers were trained in the wool workshop, and now it just happened to be used.

It was the first time that most people in Ningzhou saw serious wool products. When woolen yarns of various thicknesses and wool fabrics of different thicknesses appeared in the Ningzhou market, almost everyone went crazy. up.Those prairie tribes who wanted to sell wool by themselves, so as not to be profited by those caravans, were stunned.Look at my own felt, and then look at the felt cloth made of the worst wool in the workshop. It is a heaven and an underground. These can be thrown away.

The feeling of pain and happiness that Li Qia felt last year has been escalated this year. He has become more and more confident, estimating the wealth of each tribe, and telling the price that each of them feels black-hearted, but the supply is still in short supply.There are even people who stand guard at the entrance of the workshop every day. As soon as the first batch of materials come out every day, they drive the cattle and sheep over, wishing to wrap them up directly, so that in just a few days, dozens of fights have occurred near the textile workshop. incident, so that the army in Ningzhou had to come forward to maintain order, and those who originally wanted to see Li Yue's jokes all had red eyes, and they just wanted to immediately pull this sought-after industry to their own. in one's arms.

Therefore, it didn't take long for someone in the court to impeach Li Yue and compete for profit with the people!
