What Wu Wulang didn't know was that when he got the order of the imperial palace eggs, Zhou Man's experiment was half successful. , everyone's acne volume is between one and six.
Seventy-eight percent of the people have a low-grade fever, and the remaining 22 percent have a high fever, but it is currently under control.
When the news came back to the imperial city, everyone was overjoyed, including the emperor.
Because the anger of finding out that the money in his internal treasury was embezzled by his subordinates dissipated a lot, he even dealt with the series of people who were found out a little more gently. Then blame.
The boy servant was also deprived of his official position and released from the palace due to poor supervision, but the queen thought of his hard work for many years, so he allowed him to take away his personal luggage.
Gu Zhong went to watch him pack his things himself, and let him put some extra things in his luggage with his eyes closed.
Tong Nei Shi's godson carried big and small bags on his back, and supported Tong Nei Shi to go out.
Gu Zhong glanced at the little boy's servant, and said to him, "At your age, it's considered a blessing to have such a son by your side to support you."
The servant boy coughed lightly and said, "Thank you for your kind hand."
He smiled coldly and said: "The servant Gu is not young anymore, so he should be ready for the future. I don't know if your two apprentices are as filial as my son."
Gu Zhong smiled slightly, "Thank you, Master Tong, for your reminder."
He reached out to give him a handkerchief, and said: "When you go to Huangzhuang, you can find a way to see the doctor Zhou, it may not be able to cure your disease, but it is possible to let you walk more comfortably in the last days. "
Tong Neishi glanced at the handkerchief that Gu Zhong handed over, smiled slightly, reached out to take it and stuffed it into his bosom.
Because a group of people had been dismissed from the palace, the newly appointed stewards were more cautious. The things Wu Lang brought were not top-notch, but they were definitely not bad either.
Considering his relationship with Zhou Man, they were more lenient towards him.
And because the previous batch of stewards were replaced, the Zhuangzi who provided these agricultural products before were also implicated to some extent. Even if they were not accused, some of them were replaced to some extent.
If you don't give it to Wu Lang, you have to give it to someone else. In that case, it's better to sell Zhou Man one.
You must know that Zhou Man's popularity in the palace is very good, not only the emperor, queen, prince and princesses like her, but also many maids in the palace who are loyal to her.
The right time, place and people, Wu Wulang quickly undertook the expenses of the eggs in the palace, supplying them once every three days, the amount is not very large, at least now Zhuangzi can still supply, and he is also looking for some farmers to cooperate, who can start from They take the eggs there and supply them to the palace.
Wu Wulang discussed with Zhou Dalang and others, "But this is not a long-term solution. I think it's better to raise this chicken by yourself."
Zhou Dalang also nodded, "That's right, eggs in the capital are expensive now, you buy them from outside for two fen a piece, and then sell them to the palace for two fen, what do you earn?"
He said: "The job field that was allocated last year is not very far from our Zhuangzi. There are more than ten acres of dry sandy land over there. I think it can only grow beans, and I'm afraid it's not very productive. Why don't we use that piece of land?" The land will be freed up to grow some vegetables and beans, and then it will all be used to raise chickens, and the chicken coop will be built next to it."
Qian, who had been sitting on it and listening to their discussion, suddenly said: "If you keep too many chickens together, you will get sick."
Zhou Dalang: "Isn't Man Bao a doctor, let her prescribe medicine for chickens then."
Qian: "... Man Bao is for people, not for animals, right?"
But old Zhou Tou said: "If the cows in our ten miles and eight villages get sick, don't they also ask old doctor Lu to get medicine? I think so."
Even Wu Lang nodded and said: "That's right, chickens and ducks can eat everything that people eat, I think it's about the same, when the time comes, I'll find Man Baozhi."
Old Zhou Tou also felt that the work should not be done in vain, and said: "Since we are going to do it, you should discuss it with the tenant farmers who rented the land at that time, whether they will contribute to the work, or should we hire others, and what else should we do?" , the chicks should also be prepared, and the chicks can be released to forage for themselves as soon as the weather is hot."
Zhou Dalang immediately said: "I will discuss with the tenants in the village when I go back, let them incubate the eggs, and raise them when the weather is hot."
Wu Wulang immediately said: "Brother, go to the villages in Yongzhou to look for more eggs. If there are eggs, buy more. Now not only the palace wants them, but Huangzhuang also wants them."
"Hey, didn't you say that people with acne don't eat fishy meat, have you stopped eggs?"
"Another group of people have been selected, and they are taking care of their health recently. I heard that after about ten days of taking care of them, they will start to be vaccinated."
Zhou Dalang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll ask a few shopkeepers. They walk around the streets and alleys, and they must know which village has more eggs."
Now that the first month has passed, the cost of eggs must be getting less and less, and the price in Yongzhou has dropped.
Old Zhou said: "You only raise chickens? Why don't you raise some ducks?"
"Father, the newly assigned job field has little water and is far away from the river, so it's not easy to raise ducks."
"Then you can raise pigs. I don't think the pork in Beijing is cheap now."
"I don't really want to raise pigs," Wu Wulang said, "I've inquired. The masters in the palace seldom eat this kind of pork. Most of the meat is for the maids and servants. The emperor's family likes to eat mutton and beef. and chicken."
Old Zhou Tou knocked him on the head: "The emperor has only one stomach, how much money can you earn by serving his stomach? But there are thousands of people eating in this palace. If you can take over some of the pork business, How much can you earn then, will you settle accounts?"
"But… "
"But what is it? Anyway, the pigs you raise at home, you sell them outside, and you sell them in the palace, isn't it also a sale?" Old Zhou said: "If you raise them, you don't have to worry about selling them. Where did the good thing come from..."
Wu Wulang murmured: "But dad, pigs eat a lot, and it's too difficult to raise a pig. It takes a year to raise a pig, and it's supplied to the palace every day. Before the pigs I raise are out of the market, I will Where can I find pork for them?"
"I bought it from the market and then sold it to the palace, and then changed hands. I didn't make any money and I had to pay for it."
Old Zhou Tou said: "Then you raise the pigs first, and then sell them in the palace. If not, you can also sell them outside. We also have restaurants in our house. In short, there is no shortage of places to go."
Zhou Wulang thought it was true, so he looked at Zhou Dalang.
Zhou Dalang: "...All right, let me see where the pigsty is built, but if you raise too many pigs, you will get sick."
Old Zhou Tou: "Look for Man Bao, she can even cure chickens, and naturally she can also cure pigs."
He said: "You are just lazy, you dislike the hard work and taste of raising pigs, don't think I don't know."
Brother Zhou Dalang: ...Since you know, why do you still ask for it? Moreover, in terms of laziness, who is the laziest
Both Zhou Dalang and Wu Wulang felt that it was because he didn't need to do this job, so he was so good at directing.
Mrs. Qian also glanced at Old Zhou, and after successfully making him bow his head, he said to his two sons, "There is no rush to raise the pigs, you should get the chickens done first."
Zhou Dalang, his father, his son and brothers all heaved a sigh of relief.
