"Your Majesty, this is not allowed. Although the court has now mastered the incubator technology, the Ming Dynasty has a population of 20 million. If there are 20 people per household, that is 10 million households.
With so many chickens and ducks, the number is not small. "
"This matter cannot be slowed down and must be promoted quickly. As for the army, we will briefly explain to the soldiers that the previous 70% of chicken and duck consumption will be reduced to 20%. The insufficient meat will be dealt with first with salted fish."
After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, in order to ensure the supply of meat for the army, not only the imperial court set up breeding farms, but also encouraged ordinary people to raise livestock.
But because many people had already lost their money, many people even owed a lot of money to others for various reasons.
In this case, if you can't even support yourself, you can use the spare money to develop the breeding industry.
Although everyone's life is still very hard now, and we can't even have enough food and clothing for the whole people, it is much better than before.
Under this current situation, many ordinary people can only hehe.
Even if the court explains to them that this can prevent the locust plague, it doesn't make any sense to them.
Because human nature is self-interested, and patriotism is an act with almost no benefits.
Traitor behavior is a low-cost, unlimited-profit behavior.
Most rulers would choose to give lenient punishment to those who are powerful for the sake of reputation.
And those who betray the country are often these powerful people.
Eventually a strange phenomenon will form.
Ordinary people spend their whole lives exhausted and overwhelmed.
Patriotism has long been extinguished by the cold icy rain of society.
Powerful people shout patriotism on their lips but are busy betraying their country.
In the end, when the country perishes, there will always be people who lament, forgetting that although the real culprit who caused the country's demise became someone else's dog, they still live a much better life than ordinary people.
Before the Ming Dynasty, too much people's hearts and credibility were lost.
Don't look at the fact that people now support Zhu Youjian. But once something happens, Zhu Youjian's name may not be more useful than two steamed buns.
But this does not mean that this reputation has no effect.
Why, throughout the ages, have people preferred to be slaves to the subjugation of their country, but also to have the title of a benevolent and righteous king?
Why do so many beasts pretend to be good people?
Even those traitors and traitors want a good reputation?
That's because a person can only come into contact with and understand a few people in his lifetime.
Ordinary people have even less access to and understanding of it.
This is when the role of good reputation comes into play.
It's like a thief appears in a shopping mall. There are two suspects, one is a beggar and the other is a well-known philanthropist in the city.
So who do you think the thief is?
There is no one in history who has made full use of his reputation but Liu Dal'er
Why was Liu Big Er able to divide the world into three parts and establish the Kingdom of Shu?
Isn’t it all about a good reputation?
Just imagine, if he had a bad reputation, could he fool the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?
Will Zhuge Liang choose to follow him?
Will Wu Guo lend Jingzhou to the other party?
Without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, how could Liu Bei have gained a good reputation in the early stage?
Without Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao would have destroyed him long ago. How could future generations divide the world into three parts?
Although for ordinary people and the country, the three-thirds of the world is a disaster for the people and the country, it does illustrate the importance of reputation.
