"Secondly, pigs have a slow growth cycle and are prone to disease, so it's very likely that you'll end up with nothing."
"There are quite a few people who raise chickens, ducks, and geese, but most of them raise them in the wild, hoping that they will lay eggs to exchange for money or keep for the New Year."
"Really?" Qin Yuanhao knocked on the table. If he didn't investigate these things personally, he would never know them in such detail.
"Your Majesty, these are the symptoms of poultry illness reported by the people."
Qin Yuanhao was satisfied. It turned out that if he pushed the ministers hard enough, they could do it!
In just two days, the investigation has been completed in such detail.
"Then Master Wan, do you have a solution?"
Wan Xueyi:!!
Your Majesty, please behave yourself!
I am the Minister of Justice. You asked me to investigate, and I did. How could he raise poultry?
He lowered his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, I am still researching. If you can give me enough time, I will..."
Qin Yuanhao lowered his head to look at the manual on pig farming that he had written down from memory on the desk.
"Lord Wan, do you know how many people in my Great Qin can't eat meat?"
"Thinking of this, I can't sleep at night and can't eat."
Wan Xueyi: Your Majesty, you were not like this in the court just now.
Wan Xueyi's eyes twitched. "Your Majesty, I will do my best. However, I have learned the ways of being an official, and when it comes to treating illnesses, it is more reliable to consult an imperial physician!"
Qin Yuanhao's eyes lit up, he was waiting for this sentence.
"Don't worry, I've already called Doctor Zhen from the Imperial Hospital. I think he'll be here soon."
"Besides, I've been looking through ancient books on how to raise pigs these past few days, and I've actually found some clues."
Wan Xueyi: ? ?
Your Majesty, you also personally researched pig farming? And you figured it out?
Who would believe that!
Qin Yuanhao seemed to notice Wan Xueyi's gaze. He coughed lightly and said, "I also went to the refugees' new residence and made some discoveries."
"In the refugees' new home, the piglets and sows they've been born in just a short time haven't been harmed. Does Lord Wan have any insights?"
Wan Xueyi looked up and looked at the emperor with a confused expression.
so what?
Nothing happened, what does that mean?
"Your Majesty, are those pigs in better health?"
"If the mother is in good health, the child she gives birth to will naturally be much stronger than other children. Could this be the case with sows as well?"
Qin Yuanhao:!!
You are really something! Qin Yuanhao was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Wan Xueyi also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the emperor speak.
"Master Wan, what you said makes sense!"
"The locals treated the sows and piglets as if they were their own family, taking good care of them. They cleaned the pig pens every day and provided all kinds of care for the sows."
"From the moment the sow becomes pregnant, you need to take good care of her, provide her with nutrition in a timely manner, and after she gives birth to her piglets, you need to provide timely care for her and keep the pigpen clean and hygienic at all times."
"Master Wan, think about why the plague occurred. It was because the diseased bodies there were not handled in time, which led to the spread of the disease into the air and water."
"I think this makes sense, Lord Wan, do you understand?"
Wan Xueyi felt dizzy after hearing this. Could he refuse?
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what the problem was. Now, the job fell on him again.
"This is the book I compiled after searching ancient books and finding some information on caring for sows and piglets."
"Master Wan can transcribe and adjust it when he returns. Remember to return it tomorrow."
Wan Xueyi: ? ?
Your Majesty, could you be more stingy?
Qin Zhenzhen, who was just being carried by Zhou Mian, heard this.
[Wow, Emperor Dad is so hardworking! He just taught his brothers yesterday, and today he's setting an example himself, compiling his experience in pig farming.]
Qin Yuanhao's old face turned red. This was all taught to him by the little princess. He just took the lead. If he didn't work hard, wouldn't the little princess's kindness be in vain?
"This Lord Wan is indeed loyal, but a bit stubborn. He still believes that the Prime Minister is a good person. Didn't the Emperor tell the ministers that the Prime Minister is from Sang Country?"
Qin Yuanhao touched his nose. He wanted to wait for Laba Festival to disgust the Emperor of Sang.
Besides, if the prime minister of a country is from Sang, once the news gets out, there will probably be chaos.
[Indeed, if we told everyone that the Prime Minister was from Sang, then the Qin Empire would be in chaos. The Emperor is indeed smart.]
[If you ask me, since the Prime Minister is so harmful to people, he should be asked to raise pigs.]
If a prime minister could lower his status and raise pigs, the people would surely be happier and more trusting, and more willing to try.
"Anyway, this pig-raising technique is very simple. If the Qin Dynasty can share its methods with neighboring countries, it would be a good deed. There's no need to worry about Sang State stealing the knowledge."
Didn't the emperor get a lot of money from confiscating property? He could also provide breeding pigs to the people for free.
Qin Yuanhao nodded. His brain had been working much better recently. He could think of some things in advance without the little princess telling him.
By then, he thought the Prime Minister's idea was feasible.
Wan Xueyi, who was standing below, was reading the book handed to him by the emperor.
The more I look at it, the more surprised I am!
The emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs, yet he was able to write about pig farming in such detail.
Even writing comments after some methods makes it easier to understand.
As for the art of raising pigs, His Majesty has even drawn a simple diagram next to it. If the pig butcher sees it, he will definitely be able to master it.
