The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

As Li Shimin spoke, a proud look appeared on his face.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded in response.

"Yes, these three assignments are really amazing. These are all good theories that can be put into practical use." Fang Xuanling said seriously: "Your Highnesses, at such a young age, you can have such an assignment. I admire you."

"Huairen has also made an indelible contribution." Li Shimin smiled.

Today, I am really happy!

I am happy to come to the manor to get some fresh air.

I am even happier to find that my children are so competitive and excellent!

This manor is really a good place. There are happy things every time I come here. I may come here often in the future.

"I just took the kids out for a walk and talked to them about some common sense. In the end, they had to complete their homework, expand their ideas, and organize them into practical content by themselves." Li Fu said, "I am also worried about the locusts, especially after hearing what Mr. Xiao said about the management methods after encountering locust plagues in the past. It is equivalent to having no methods. Without management, it is even more distressing."

Who wouldn't be upset to hear this?

"Killing too many lives will hurt the harmony of nature, but the cycle of nature always follows a path, for example, cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Otto..." Li Fu paused, then continued: "Poultry like to eat small insects, and locusts are also insects, but when they come, there are more of them... more."

"Since poultry can feed on locusts, if the number of poultry increases, can it reduce the losses caused by the locust plague?" Li Fu said: "So, this is also something I let the children think about, not only thinking, but also putting it into action after completing the homework."

"Is that why Cheng Qian feeds poultry?" Li Shimin asked.

"This is an experience." Li Fu said, "It's not that the younger brother wants to trick his nephew into doing the work. It's good to know more about these things related to the lives of ordinary people. I grew up in the countryside and I know all these things, but Cheng Qian is not. My second brother has created a stable living environment for Cheng Qian and his friends, but it's not a good thing to live in comfort and not know about the outside world."

"Anyway, we're all here at the manor, so let's experience it. Besides, raising poultry is not an easy thing for ordinary people." Li Fu said, "In my house, there are some inedible vegetable leaves and some leftovers every day. I can afford to raise poultry, but it's different for ordinary people. The things they have at home are just enough for their own consumption.

What do they use to feed poultry? Raising poultry requires food as capital. Will they be willing to spend it?"

"Then, what Cheng Qian and his friends came up with in their homework, using poultry to control locust plagues, can only remain in theory?" Li Shimin frowned.

Originally, I thought this was good news. The court could learn some theoretical experience from it and turn it into reality through local operations.

But after listening to Li Fu's words, it seemed a bit unrealistic.

"Not really." Li Fu said: "If people in each village raise poultry, unless the income brought by raising poultry can exceed their expenses." Li Fu said: "So, in addition to the children's schoolwork, I want to add one more item."

"What?" Li Shimin asked.

"Since the locust plague is coming, for the sake of the people's survival, I, a royal relative of the Tang Dynasty, will sacrifice some." Li Fu smiled and said with a smile: "I plan to make the egg-changing formula public."

When Li Fu said this, Li Shimin's eyes widened.

Even Changsun Wuji and others looked at Li Fu in disbelief.

"Huairen, what did you say?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Publicize the recipe for transformed eggs." Li Fu said, "In this way, there should be many transformed egg workshops, not only in Chang'an City, but also in other places. People will build workshops to make transformed eggs and sell them to major restaurants. In this way, although the price of transformed eggs will be much lower, the quantity will increase. First, more people can eat them. Second, if you want to open an egg transformation workshop, you must have a stable source of eggs. Then the families who raise poultry in the village will become their cooperation targets.

Farmers raise poultry, and poultry lay eggs, so there is a stable channel for selling them. The eggs can be exchanged for money, and the money can be exchanged for food and cloth."

"In this way, if people want to make money, raising poultry is a good way. They will do it naturally without being urged by others." Li Fu said, "Raising more poultry can always play a role.It has an effect, just like what Cheng Qian and his friends wrote in their homework. "

"I think this is a reliable method that can be implemented now."

What else can we do to increase the vegetation coverage rate? Now that the locusts have laid eggs, will it be useful to increase it?

And with the current weather and drought, how can we increase it? Planting today, it will be half dead tomorrow, and it will be a mess the day after tomorrow.

Li Shimin nodded as he listened.

This is indeed a method.

And it is beneficial to the people.

However, once this formula is made public, the price of eggs will immediately become cheaper, and in the future, the price may even plummet.

Li Fu will lose a business that makes money.

However, for the Jingyang Palace, it doesn't matter if there is an egg-changing workshop. Only a tea house is enough to keep the Jingyang Palace prosperous and wealthy, not to mention the court salary and rewards.

"Are you really willing to do this? "Li Shimin looked at Li Fu seriously.

Li Fu nodded.

"Of course I am willing, but before doing so, my second brother has to go to Da'an Palace and talk to the emperor. The emperor has a share in the business of changing eggs." Li Fu said: "Even if the formula is to be announced, the emperor's consent must be obtained."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, I'll go to my father." Li Shimin said: "In the future, whether there is a locust plague or not, the formula of changing eggs will be announced. For ordinary people, it is not a bad thing, but this was originally your business, and you made a sacrifice..."

Li Fu smiled and waved his hand.

"This business of changing eggs, a unique business, was not intended to last long. Originally, my family was poor, and doing this was the easiest, and it could make money for the family, so I had to keep it a secret. Now, the Jingyang Palace does not rely on this thing."

Compared with the tea business, the business of changing eggs is at most icing on the cake.
