Zhao Jingru was surprised and looked at Li Zhao in disbelief.

In ancient times, reading was only the right of a small number of people, or the right of the powerful class.

Studying is expensive, and several families may not be able to support one scholar.

If Li Zhao's ideal world really came true, she couldn't imagine how wonderful it would be.

If... His Majesty or King You of Jiaozhou has such thoughts... Zhao Jingru smiled bitterly, she felt that she was thinking too much.

Although King You's reputation is indeed very good, she doesn't think that King You can compare with the man in front of her.

At least, in her subconscious mind, Li Zhao couldn't do it.

Maybe... this man in front of her could make it possible, Zhao Jingru thought silently in her heart, maybe... this is the destination of her sister!

She had thought about it, if her sister Zhao Jingyun didn't dislike her, she would do her best to bring her together.

As for herself, it is impossible to break the engagement!

Therefore, you should never have thoughts that you shouldn’t have.

"How much do you have left? Let me help you!"



"May I?"

"Of course!"

Li Zhao quietly sneaked to the pig farm with Zhao Jingru, whose face was red and whose heart was racing.

In fact, Li Bin had already ordered him to leave, and no one came to disturb them. However, Li Zhao and Zhao Jingru didn't know that there was no one here.

The pig farm is large, with sunshine and water, and the environment is very good.

Yang Daqiang is an expert in raising pigs. The ground of the pig farm has been compacted dozens of times. Although it is still dirt, it is very solid.

A large amount of lime is also filled at the bottom to prevent the growth of bacteria, mosquitoes, and moisture in the future.

After tamping a layer of soil on top, fill it with small stones.

The equipment may not be as advanced as the later era, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

The floor of the pigsty was covered with a thick layer of bluestone. This pig farm cost hundreds of taels of silver, and the cost was definitely ridiculously high.

This also brings great convenience to subsequent recycling, because it will become easy whether it is cleaning the pig pen or cleaning.

Otherwise, this place will become the dirtiest and messiest place by then.

There are not many pigs in each pig pen and they are raised separately.

Zhao Jingru's beautiful eyes were full of excitement and curiosity. She had never seen what a pig looked like.

Being brought here by Li Zhao gave me a different kind of excitement.

When she saw pigs one after another, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this a pig?"

"Yes!"

"Why do you raise so many?" Zhao Jingru turned her head and looked at Li Zhao.

"Of course I will eat it when I grow up."

Zhao Jingru frowned slightly and said, "But... isn't pork fishy and smelly?"

Whether it is Zhao Jingru or others of this era, they all think pork is despicable meat.

Even the common people don't have much to eat.

This thing has a really strong smell!

"Hehe..." Li Zhao smiled mysteriously: "The reason why the pork has a strong smell, fishy and smelly is because it has not been processed."

"Ah?" This involved Zhao Jingru's blind spot, which she didn't quite understand.

Li Zhao explained: "The reason why this pork smells bad is because the castration technology is not mature enough, or in other words, few people castrate pigs now."

Zhao Jingru's pretty face was full of surprise when she heard the word "castration".

Do pigs also need to be castrated?

"Of course, we have to wait until later to know whether the pork is delicious or not." Li Zhao pointed at the piglets and said: "They will be castrated when they are older, and then you will know whether the pork is delicious or not. "

Zhao Jingru's face looked weird, she still didn't believe it.

"What is this for?"

"This is the food trough!" Li Zhao squatted down, and Zhao Jingru followed suit. Everything here was novel to her.

"Pigs like to eat in arched troughs. Therefore, the trough cannot be simple. It must be strong and durable. In addition, it must be heavy."

Li Zhao imitated the pig's behavior and made Zhao Jingru laugh.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Zhao Jingru would have thought that Li Zhao was teasing her.

But when he saw Li Zhao putting food in the trough, the little pig rushed over and ate while barking.

"Really!" Zhao Jingru's face was full of surprise, and her eyes were starry: "I have seen in books that other people's pig pens are made of wooden railings."

Li Zhao patted the thick wall and said, "You want to ask why I use a wall, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

"The place where pigs live is only so big. They either eat or sleep when they are alive, but if you look carefully, you will find that they are also itchy!"

"ah?"

Zhao Jingru was shocked, can pigs also be itchy?

"Is this wall for them to scratch themselves?"

"Yes!" Li Zhao affirmed.

Zhao Jingru couldn't laugh or cry, she had really learned a lot.

Li Zhao had actually seen it in his previous life. When a pig was itchy, it would rub against the wall very vigorously, and the sound would be loud.

Although Li Zhao did not question the craftsmanship of this era, when Pig grew up, he was really strong enough that three or four adults could barely hold it.

If they were itching together, this mere wooden railing would really not be able to withstand it.

Visiting the pig pen can be regarded as breaking Zhao Jingru's cognition.

She thought the pigsty was smelly, but the pigsty here was very clean.

Pig manure is accumulated in the corners, not the entire pig pen.

It was getting late, so Li Zhao took Zhao Jingru out of the pig pen and sent her to the place where the pig grass was cut.

"Sister, sister..."

Yaya's voice sounded.

"I'm here!" Zhao Jingru waved her hand: "I'm going back first."

"good!"

Zhao Jingru walked back slowly carrying the bamboo basket.

She has the kind of calm temperament and doesn't walk in a hurry.

This basket of hogweed was still very heavy, and she couldn't walk fast.

Yaya ran over anxiously and wanted to help Zhao Jingru take it, but Zhao Jingru refused with a smile.

"Sister, where have you been?"

Zhao Jingru looked at Yaya, touched her little head and said, "Sister, I went to see the pigs."

"Ah?" Yaya exclaimed, "Have you never seen a pig before?"

"no!"

"Then I can take you there."

"Okay." Zhao Jingru smiled and said, "How is Auntie?"

"The doctor said the recovery is not bad." Yaya said happily: "Sister Jianjia is lighting a fire. You can take a bath first."

"good!"

"By the way, sister, Brother Zhao said that we are going to collect food soon. How about we both go and join in?"

Zhao Jingru paused and said, "Collect food?"

"Yes, it's right in the field." Yaya pointed to the yellowed rice and said, "Brother Zhao said to harvest it early to avoid trouble, and harvesting rice is also a very troublesome thing..."

Listening to Yaya's chatter, the shadow of "Li Hao" appeared in Zhao Jingru's mind.

She then shook her head. His Highness Prince You, Li Zhao, shouldn't be as knowledgeable and talented as Li Hao, right?

Did Li Hao also serve under King You?

It just so happens that we can take advantage of this opportunity to take a look at Youwang Li Zhao.

Although she had resigned herself to her fate, she still wished she could take a look, even just for a moment.

As long as this King You is not hopelessly bad, she, Zhao Jingru, is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her family.

"Sister, why are you crying?"

"Sister A is not crying!" Zhao Jingru wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Sister A and Sister Jianjia will be your family from now on. Can they help you build a new house with Auntie?"

new house? Yaya was stunned, could she really do it?

Her daily salary now is only three or four cents!
