Without the interference from the river gang, the construction of the pig farm went smoothly. Two pig pens were successfully completed, and the breeding pig pens, dormitories, and warehouses have started construction at the same time.
Kong Yiji sent a message. He searched the nearby counties of Qinghe County and only bought thirty piglets, including eight sows and twenty-two boars.
As for which ones will be raised as meat pigs and which ones will be raised as breeding pigs, it will be decided by the master after he returns. He is currently on his way back.
Kong Fang suddenly became depressed.
The gap between reality and goal was too big. Thirty pigs could not support his great cause of real pork freedom. He immediately revised a letter and sent someone to deliver it.
He asked Kong Yiji to continue searching for piglets on the way back, not just piglets, but also breeding pigs, regardless of size, whether he robbed them by force, deceived them, or bought them at a high price.
In short, he must at least bring back one mature male pig and more than five mature female pigs.
After the letter was sent, he no longer worried about it.
Anyway, he had made it very clear in his letter that if Kong Yiji failed to complete the task, he would be tied to a pig pen and used as a breeding pig. He didn't care how Kong Yiji felt after receiving the letter.
I don't care how he completes the task.
He wrote a booklet based on his memory on the pig-raising methods and experiences of later generations, named it "Daxing Pig-Raising Secrets" and gave it to Lao Song.
The old Song Dynasty was literate, and when he received the booklet, he felt as if he had found a treasure. He held the booklet and read it over and over again, and he admired his master so much.
Kong Fang easily accepted Lao Song's admiring gaze and gave him a few more words of praise, encouraging him to work hard and strive to become the best pigherder in Qinghe County, even Baoding Prefecture, and even the entire Daxing Dynasty.
Lao Song was so excited that he burst into tears, saying that he would never live up to his master's instructions and that he was willing to work hard and die for his great pig-raising business.
Kong Fang quickly asked him to stop.
It's OK to show loyalty, but it shouldn't be too gross.
Xiaocui and Cao are illiterate, but this does not affect their love for pig farming at all. They cherish the opportunities given to them by their master.
Xiaocui was originally a slave girl with no personal freedom, but it was Kong Fang who gave her a new life; although Cao was a free citizen, she was at the bottom of society and her life was unsustainable.
Because of Kong Fang, the originally dilapidated family has regained its vitality and a bright future can be expected.
They are all uneducated, but they are grateful; they know how to cherish the hard-won new opportunities.
Originally, for Kong Fang, this was just a dirty and tiring job that few people wanted to do in his previous life.
But he had traveled to Daxing Dynasty for some time, so he understood their reaction.
He asked Lao Song to pass on the pig-raising knowledge he learned to Xiaocui and Cao while studying, so that everyone could learn and make progress together.
Lao Song naturally did not dare to neglect his master's arrangements. As long as he had time in the future, he would seriously be the husband of Xiaocui and Cao.
A professional team has been organized. This is the first team on people's livelihood projects established by Kong Fang after his time travel, which is of great significance. To celebrate the establishment of the team, he specially booked a table at Baihua Building. Lao Song and the other two were always cautious when passing by the Baihua Building. How could they have thought that they would have the opportunity to eat here in this life?
They stood at the door, yearning and shrinking at the same time, making people laugh and feel sad at the same time.
Cao Bin went out to Cao's family, "Mom, let's go home, I'm afraid..."
Kong Fang took them into the private room. They were once again amazed by the luxurious decoration of the private room. Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the first time. Kong Fang asked them to relax and stop being so rigid. Money is spent on food, so you can eat it whenever you want and don't waste it.
He didn't dare tell them how much money the meal cost for fear that they would faint.
…
After eating, Kong Fang asked them to go home.
As soon as he returned to the county office, Mr. Luo arrived behind him. Seeing the other person's face glowing red, Kong Fang guessed that something good was going to happen, and it turned out to be true.
"Your Majesty, I have two pieces of good news for you today. Which one do you want to hear first?"
It is rare for Mr. Luo, as a great scholar, to have a piece of skin. Kong Fang laughed dumbly. This was what he teased Fang Shibo. He didn't expect Mr. Luo to "steal" from him.
It's a pity that it went astray.
"Both are good news. Whichever one you listen to first is the same, right?"
"cough……"
Mr. Luo coughed awkwardly. The sage advocated active learning and application, but it was a pity that the great scholars of his own generation imitated parrots and made a fool of themselves.
"Okay, then I said it."
Mr. Luo took off his glasses and said: "Your Majesty, I have three good friends who suffer from the same eye disease as me. They are so envious and jealous when I see that I can regain my sight."
"They are clamoring for me to get them a pair of glasses every day, but these glasses are not extraordinary. Where do you want me to get them? Right?"
"Later they said they would provide crystals and a hundred taels of gold for a pair of glasses. I thought you would agree, so I took it upon myself to help you agree."
"County Lord, you won't blame me, right?"
Mr. Luo asked cautiously.
"Wait, what did you say just now?" Kong Fang put down the tea cup that had been extended to his mouth, his hands trembling.
"I said, you won't blame me for taking the initiative, right? It's okay. If you don't agree, I will reject them. Anyway, they haven't settled yet."
"That's not the sentence, up, up..."
Mr. Luo looked at Kong Fang suspiciously, wondering why he was so excited. Isn’t it just three hundred taels of gold? If it's three hundred taels of silver, it's not worthy of my gang of friends...
What about those close friends!
"My three friends want to ask for a pair of glasses, one hundred taels of gold each. They bring their own crystals. I wonder if the county minister can agree?"
Mr. Luo lowered his voice for fear of irritating Kong Fang again.
Kong Fang's eyes gleamed, he agreed, how could he not agree?
Yes, Daxing Dynasty’s money is so profitable.
Damn it, one person has so much money! If you don't make all this money, how can you be worthy of risking your own life and traveling through time?
He rubbed his hands repeatedly, trying to suppress his emotions, fearing that his head would explode due to excitement.
If there is a storm, no matter how much gold there is, it will be nothing.
"Sir, you are truly my noble man, you are my God of Wealth..."
Mr. Luo waved his hand, why should such a trivial matter matter?
After calming down Kong Fang's emotions, he took out another account book and said, "The first volume of "Journey to the West", the first batch of 2,000 printed copies, has been sold out."
"The price of each book is one tael of silver, and the gross profit of one thousand copies is one thousand taels. This is the account book, in which the income and various expenditures are listed. Please take a look at it, the county magistrate."
Mr. Luo handed the account book to Kong Fang. Kong Fang reached out to take it and put it down gently.
"My husband has made great contributions to the publication of "Journey to the West", and I am extremely grateful. All matters related to this book are made by my husband."
He won't read the ledger.
Mr. Luo's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly.
"My Lord, you may not know that this book caused a rush for purchase as soon as it was put on the market. Two thousand books were sold out within three days. This is an unprecedented event."
"My lord, I really don't understand. "Journey to the West" is so popular, why don't we just print tens of thousands of copies and sell it?"
