Raising pigs that don’t need money has brought several consequences. First, pork has hardly entered the market, because every breeding scale is very small. Until Song Zhi, pigs didn’t enter the Tugu market. They were all poor people, so they held their noses and slaughtered themselves. Although it stinks several times more than mutton, it is still good for people who can’t afford meat. Look at the taste again and see why anyone can eat feed in this era.

The second consequence is that because the rich did not enter the circulation field and did not eat the pork, the cooking skills were extremely backward, which gave Xiao Xian the opportunity to improve and benefit the people. As Su Dongpo, who later made Dongpo pork in history, said, "The rich despise the poor and don’t understand cooking." The rich don’t eat; Although the poor eat, they have no education and will not sum up that they can’t burn well. Even if a small amount of seasoning is used to remove the smell of shame, no poor people will think of putting other spices, let alone.
The third consequence is that even if a small amount of pork flows into the circulation field, the "market guidance price" of pork is extremely low because of the small scale and the weak seller.
During the Sui Dynasty, the grasslands in northern Gansu, Hedong, Hebei and other places were still flourishing, but mutton was relatively common. However, a catty of mutton was less than seven kilograms of millet. When mutton was scarce in the south, even when the price of rice was relatively high in the spring drought, it was more than ten kilograms. It was possible to change mutton to a bucket of rice in the harvest season. After all, compared with agricultural products, animal production was relatively stable in ceiling price, and even if the price of rice fell in the harvest season, it would not fall.
The price of mutton in Jiangdong is as high as ten kilos of rice or a kilo of meat. Those few pork that enter the market have to pay an average of two or three kilos of rice, which is equivalent to a quarter of mutton.
When I got the news of this market, Xiao Xian showed a bargain-hunting-before the value of pork was taken seriously, I bought and slaughtered a large number of local pigs, and it was not a problem to leave the French words for two months after the slaughter in the cold winter climate. Moreover, in this era, I didn’t find any pickled sauce technology to reward the laborers. I believe that there will be a huge increase in morale, and when the new cooking methods of pork in Qiantang, Yuhang and other surrounding areas are adopted, I believe that the price of pork will increase by a multiple of mutton price difference.
By way of digression, since Xiao Xian himself knows how most pigs are raised in this era, it is impossible for even the people to eat those pork, which is a good public servant and a good system. Naturally, Xiaoxian Zun asked several gentry to choose some rice bran and soybean meal feed and drink rice water to grow up into special pigs, and then put on that kind of rape flower that the people enjoyed, and the corn flower survived. In the American era, China needed to eat some vegetable oil, which was really solved by soybean oil. Relatively speaking, it was easier to find some soybean meal left over from the Song Dynasty.
……
It seems that in the second half of November, these large construction sites inside and outside Hangzhou will be even more energetic.
Almost every day, two or three deep wells with moderate water quality can be dug in the Baijingfang Belt and Road to the west. It is believed that by the end of the twelfth lunar month, half of the city in the north of the city will be able to solve the drinking water and irrigation needs of farmland outside the city. After all, there is no shortage of ground water in Hangzhou, which is to let the ground water be pumped out and then filtered deeply. The people are full of praise and praise. It is almost impossible to believe that the new county Zun has solved most of the drinking water problem of the people in Hexian County in just two months.
The depth of the main river at the end of Xixi River site in the west has been deeply dug to 10 feet. Although the width of the river has been narrowed from nearly 100 feet to 20 feet, the depth of the river has increased by more than six times, and the current has also been straightened and turbulent. The original muddy appearance of floodplain swamp has been changed, and more than ten miles of roads have been dug further, until the Nantiaoxi River in Yuhang County is finally diverted to the West Lake. The West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the northwest of the lake is surrounded by Baoshi Mountain, Qixia Ridge and Taoyuan Ridge. Even if you choose the most,
The amount of work required to dig a hundred miles in a loose sedimentary geological environment is not necessarily as small as one or two miles in a hard mountainous area. Now, the last mile is introduced into the West Lake and can be put aside for the time being because of the rock geology.
Compared with the three projects, the dredging of the West Lake is the slowest, which is due to the backward technology. Xiao Xian knows very well that it is not the way to increase manpower in a short time. He set out to solve the problem through technical means.
On the day of La Festival, Xiao Xian went to the secretariat mansion in Hangzhou with a gift to visit the secretariat’s adult. Although he is not a gift today, he also hopes that the official will release it.
The name of the secretariat is Xie Yuan, a middle-aged man in his forties, and also a surname with the characteristics of a prominent family in Jiangdong-after all, the "old king Xie Tang Qian Yan" is there, although Xie’s glory is mainly in the Jin Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty; Xie Jia, the emperor of the Southern Dynasties, gradually declined from the old Xiao family’s ancestral home, but there is a saying that the hundred-footed worm died without being stiff. After the massacre and reshuffle in Hou Jing 60 years ago, Jiangdong can be said that every family still has a chance.
"Xiao County ordered a good means, but in two months, it actually solved the two major problems that have plagued the people for hundreds of years in Hangzhou City. It can be regarded as the origin of Xiao’s family education in Lanling, which is really extraordinary."
Touching it still exudes ink fragrance, and the Ou Yangxun font engraving set is a butterfly suit. After four or five times, Xie Yuan can’t be polite. I have to say that Xiao Xian’s hair carving and printing skills are really good, especially the officialdom is more expensive and elegant. Stealing from ancient times is not a bribe, and it is not a bribe; Even if you send hundreds of copies (the Book of Rites in the Five Classics and the Spring and Autumn Period require hundreds of copies), the recipient of hundreds of dollars will feel elegant and will not feel disobedient at all.
"Before the secretariat of Xie, you can praise officials if you dare to be an official. Before that, you will also be in charge of the work. Maybe you have some talents. It’s just that you have heard that you have specialized in the industry, but you know how to build the road. It’s just a little bit of fur. Since ancient times, people have been working hard to manage people, and people have been working hard to mediate in officialdom. Where is it a good official?"
Xie Yuan couldn’t help smiling when he heard this. This junior really knows how to advance and retreat. He has made achievements, and he has been arrogant for many years. He doesn’t rely on his aunt as a toffee, so he became more and more fond of saying, "What a good sentence!"! Xiao county magistrate deserves to be a real gold and silver test in Qingping Ganji Branch. His knowledge is very solid, but he came to the official today. But these days, there are new difficulties to coordinate with the official? "
Xiao Xian gave a wry smile for a moment. He was so familiar that he didn’t expect to "send" a chicken soup for the soul and plagiarize a handful of Han Yu.
"Thank the secretariat of the official is really met with some problems-now all the things in the north of the city will be completed in ten days, except that the water at the other end of the Xixi River will be delayed. It will be a year, but the dredging construction of the West Lake is still more than 300 steps from the left and right sides of the dike. The lake is more than six miles long from east to west, and even at this rate, it will not be finished. You need to turn to the secretariat."
"Lake wide? It is said that Xiaoxian County has built a longitudinal dike in the lake, which is more than half a foot higher than the lake surface. When dredging, it is enough to repair the lake into four sections. It is enough to repair each side two miles away from the shore. Now that it has been repaired for more than 300 steps, it is more than half completed. So what is the difficulty in completing it before New Year’s Eve? "
Unlike later generations, Xie Yuan’s study of mathematics is quite basic, and this is also good in the pre-imperial examination era. When Xie Yuan made a rough calculation, he questioned Xiao Xian for help.
"The secretariat of adults don’t know that from the perspective of area, more than half of the lake area has been dredged, but it is precisely because of this that he has not dredged the lake area, and the distance from the shore is even farther. After the earthwork excavation, the transportation workload has increased greatly-the silt dug in the dredged lake area has to be turned back to transport 150 steps, while the remaining dredged lake area may have to transport 500 steps on average. Nowadays, the industry in the lake is mostly bamboo rafts, and it takes a real wave manpower to dig three or five stones. Therefore, the official is borrowing a boat from adults this time-the official comes to Hangzhou
"It turned out to be borrowing a boat … no! Don’t you have villagers’ boats to dispatch in Qiantang County? If you come to borrow a boat from an official? Although the official is a secretariat, he doesn’t know that the navy has come to ship you again? "
"hmm? When the official went to Beijing to take the exam, he heard that the emperor was ugly in the first month of the tenth year of the spring. Didn’t the imperial court have the imperial edict that’ Wu Yue people went to the place where they inherited the bad customs and privately built a big ship, which infringed on the people of Jiangnan States because of their gathering. The captain of the ship has been included in the official’? How can the secretariat of adults say … "
"Oh, it turns out that Xiao County Order said it was the imperial edict in the first month of last year-this is Xiao County Order. I don’t know that some state courts stipulate that the state secretariat is in charge of dispatching and collecting civilian ships, but there are some special reasons in Hangzhou … Well, you know that the court stipulated that those who searched and paid civilian ships in Hangzhou, Jiangsu, Lake and Changzhou were dispatched to Taihu Lake, and Yangzhou’s general manager belonged to Shui Cao, who joined the army, but could help Xiao County Order coordinate but could not directly dispatch them."
Xie Yuan didn’t say the ellipsis. Xiao Xian knew it for ten years. Of course, it refers to the Wuzhong Uprising after the death of Chen.
Chapter sixty-three Blind dog eyes
There is a group of bureaucrats in charge of a certain specialty called "a Cao joined the army", and there is also a group of people named exactly the same. There are more kinds of Cao-for example, there is a general manager to set up a secretariat, but there is no such Cao.
The same name is Cao Shenjun, but the level is completely different. If it is equivalent to the mayor of a prefecture-level city, his hand Cao Shenjun is naturally equivalent to the director of the city bureau; The main manager is equivalent to the governor, Cao Shenjun is the director of the ministries and agencies, and the Yangzhou main manager, Cao Shenjun, is equivalent to the daily management of Jiangsu and Zhejiang ships and the imperial navy ships in this area
From the secretariat of Xie Yuan, Xiao Xian roughly understood the situation. Now, the general manager of Yangzhou is named Liu Kuo Hedong Liu’s sideline. Theoretically, the Ministry of War of the dynasty is still a distant relative, like Liu Shu’s distant nephew. However, this Liu Kuo was rooted in Miaohong’s early years, and he followed Yang Guang all the way to pacify the Southern Dynasties and * * nothing.
Xiao Xian can’t wait for this many flowers to get the approval letter from Xie Secretariat, so he asked for a secretariat to issue official documents and letters to go to Huzhou in person to find someone to say.
……
"It turned out that Xiao County Magistrate of Qiantang heard that Xiao County Magistrate was young. It’s really awesome to be young. I don’t know if it’s business."
When I arrived in Xiao Xian, Huzhou, I went straight to the door to find the water, Cao joined the army, and Liu Kuo, two people were not polite, so I talked about the real thing. Although Liu Kuo was the manager of Yangzhou, he joined the army, but this official yamen did not set up Yangzhou, but Huzhou, which was mainly on the verge of Taihu Lake for easy management.
"Liu Shenjun, this is the official letter from the state of Xie Cishi, and Chen Hangzhou has ruled that various dredging industries are short of large ships. You can ask Liu Shenjun to allocate some ambassadors from the large ships in the original state."
"Dredging borrow a boat? I’ve never heard of dredging since ancient times, but I also want a big ship. Xiao county magistrate is unconventional? Although the imperial court took over the Wuzhong Sanzhang ship, it was not free to dispatch the tax and grain from the States along the Yangtze River to Yangzhou, and it would be difficult to transfer them without proper reasons. "
Xiao Xian a listen to not stopped frowning suspicious, is it not that Liu joined the army to put himself against it? He temporarily suppressed his temper and tempted to say, "The adult who joined the army is now in the winter court, where are the taxes, grains, fabrics and goods to be shipped?" The official is also organizing Ding Zhuang to dredge water conservancy during the winter slack season. Before the spring busy season, it must be returned. Please see the official letter from Xie Cishi for convenience. If there are some other difficulties, you may wish to stand up and say. "
"Although there is no need to transport grain in winter, there are also business travelers who will submit a letter for rent. Of course, even if these ships are collected from the imperial court, they will not charge high rent to these business travelers, but they will have to make a pledge to guarantee that the sailors will be able to pay for the official grain transportation in the next year."
"Even so, I don’t know how nervous it is to rent an official ship now. If there are idle ships, I will be able to allocate them by any means. "
"Idle is there … but the officer still said that dredging the way to gather large ships since ancient times has never been heard of. If there is doubt about this way, the officer can’t allocate the sacred letter to collect the ship in the first month of last year. It is the hidden danger of the unruly people in Wuzhong who have been gathering in Sichuan and Ze. The magistrate Xiao has got a group of ship officers so inexplicably, but he can’t guarantee it!"
Words to this share that is directly against the Xiao Xian know that this is not he gently to face can solve the problem, although I don’t know the Liu enclosed motivation but Xiao Xian wit just a thought and anger extremely the smile "Liu joined the army want you to know that the official aunt is today’s toffee, right? You’ve always been the manager of Yangzhou, and now the king of Jin has become too you dare to make things difficult? Dredging the Jiangnan Canal is the first great achievement official after the Taidian was appointed. In addition to the Qiantang County Order, he also supervised the Jiangnan River. Don’t you dare … Are you Yuwen Shu’s family, so I am right! "
Liu Kuo is too lazy to pretend to be sarcastic again. "Xiao County ordered that this is to take the toffee to press the officer? You’re not bold enough to be an official. What are the officials and General Yuwen? You don’t have to worry about it. Today, the ship officer thinks that the way is different, so he has to ask for instructions from the new Yangzhou manager. Well, now the manager of Taijing Yangzhou is the agent of Hewang, but if Hewang is not familiar with things soon, it is also a safe method for us to send people to Beijing to ask Taidian for instructions … If the official gets the palindrome, it will naturally be allocated to Xiaoxian to make the boat. "
Xiao Xian certainly can’t accept this remark. What Xiao Xian needs most now is that he has made a written pledge to fulfill a military order about the canal project period before Yang Guang. If he can’t get a boat in the slack season this winter, even if the lawsuit drags him for a month or two, when the spring sowing is busy, he can’t find a corvee even if he gets a boat. If the work is delayed, it will be delayed until the summer harvest. This is a wave for half a year, and we have to pray that the precipitation in spring and summer will be evenly distributed next year. Otherwise, if there is insufficient rain in summer, it will be difficult for the people to recruit more irrigation
And if we can get the ship now, we can work before, on the one hand, and on the other hand, those new equipment institutions that are developed by Xiao Xian to cooperate with the ship also need to be verified and tested. Now that the ship has come to run in, he can let the supervisor craftsmen improve and adjust it when it is planted in spring.
The two sides tore their faces, so Xiao Xian said with a smile, "I really don’t know that Yuwen Shu turned out to be like Liu joining the army and really made you dare to look down on my future. If so, there is nothing to say. Xiao Xian will give you a chance to verify it."
Liu Kuo doesn’t mind Xiao Xian offending his official prestige. It seems to him that this is a weak performance of Xiao Xian. He didn’t hum until he watched Xiao Xian go out. If Taidian didn’t think you were worth a lot of money, how could you be transferred out of Beijing to do this risky job? How could General Yuwen’s military commander, Sangong, be left in the capital to have a chance to contact the monarch? Isn’t it very white that the thickness of the saint is as soon as possible? If General Yuwen will cheat the officials, it is the right way to promote and make a fortune according to what General Yuwen wants to do …
……
White the other party is from Yuwen Shu and white got a greeting to make yourself unhappy. When Xiao Xian naturally won’t wave, he will come out from the Shuicao Shenjun yamen and go straight to Li Minfu, the supervisor of Jiangnan River in Huzhou City, to borrow the potential of Li Min.
Li Min is the son-in-law of Yang Lihua, Princess of Leping. Before leaving Beijing, she was given four official ranks, and now the supervisory rank of Jiangnan River is unchanged. From the official rank, Xie Yuan, the secretariat of Hangzhou, is higher than that of Zhengzhou. From Yangzhou to Yangzhou, Cao Cao joined the army and Liu Kuo is high. Li Min came to Jiangnan for two months and was still in a semi-idle state to understand the situation. It belongs to the shopkeeper’s office of cutting and it is even higher than Huzhou’s secretariat. There is no feeling in Huzhou City.
The problem is that Xiao Xian and this Li Min didn’t have much friendship before, and this time they didn’t prepare to visit. Now things are in a hurry and Huzhou doesn’t even prepare for the first visit. Finally, I thought about it and asked the squire, Huzhou, Guang Shen, to prepare two dazzling gifts on the spot and went to the door
When I arrived at Li Minfu, I handed over a gift, but when I saw the position, I didn’t dare to be rude. I immediately went in and replied, "My master called on the secretariat early in the morning and said that he would go back to the office at noon, but now he hasn’t arrived yet. My wife said that he might as well wait for the advanced wine."
Xiao Xian thanked him briefly without saying much, and went into the mansion to collect the gift list from his own housekeeper. He took the things to the side hall and placed his maid with yellow wine to serve Xiao Xian. It was also a wry smile but no nonsense-it is still difficult to develop the custom of brewing tea. Tea is mostly cooked and fried, so there is a direct wine greeting to quench your thirst without making an appointment for guests. Only when you have prepared well in advance can you have tea.
Xiao Xian was busy, sitting in the main hall, waiting for something else. He was so absorbed that he didn’t notice that the maid-in-waiting quietly left halfway. However, a young woman leaned out from behind the screen to reveal a round fan covering half her face and stole Xiao Xian’s eyes for a few turns before she came out leisurely, but her steps were light and generous.
"This is Xiao Jian Cheng, isn’t it? Young Rui Jin is very enviable. My husband went out early in the morning, but it was rude to return to my body soon."
Xiao Xian looks up, but she is a beautiful young woman with a pair of peach blossoms and two curved willow leaves. Her eyebrows are slim, and there is another swaying coquettish state that comes out casually. The first impression that this woman gives people is that she feels like Wang Xifeng and is not afraid of publicity, but when she looks again, she can conclude that she is not as cautious and refined as Wang Xifeng, but a vase that is used to being bossy and unrestrained but not careful because of her arrogance after marriage.
Saw this female Xiao Xian surprised Yu natural JianLi "is officer faux pas … lady would be … Yuwen … princess".
"What princess doesn’t princess my body is not when she is four or five years old? Princess Shilao can’t get you to call me by my first name and surname-Xiao and Cheng Fa are really subtle. After reading the few words of the post, you will know that it is a gentle and romantic teenager … tut tut, this tolerance is really a young talent."
Xiao Xian saw each other admit that it was natural to doubt that this young woman was Li Min’s wife, Princess Leping’s daughter Yuwen Eying. When Yuwen Eying was born, it was still the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Of course, she was a princess, but when she was three years old, Emperor Wen of Sui usurped the title of Princess Yuwen Eying and naturally withdrew it.
It seems that Li Min’s role as an adopted son-in-law has no place in this family. When he is not in time, it is no problem for his wife to show her face for him. Even if Yuwen is a Xianbei nationality, it is a bit unrestrained. If you can leave a good impression on this woman and ask her to help blow the pillow breeze, it will make Li Min do more.
Chapter sixty-four Make a written pledge to fulfill a military order again
Lifu living room in a quarter of an hour
Li Min, whose lips are red and teeth are white, went back to the office soon, wiping the sweat with a handkerchief and holding Xiao Xian to hand him a table, shaking and saying, "Why don’t you take a long-term view on this matter?" Xiao Shucheng is determined to be aggressive and enterprising … But is it too rash to casually promise Feng to shorten the construction period or reduce the number of civilian workers when he gets the boat? Nowadays, it is not easy to complete this speed. "
