    After talking about business, Liu Mingqi invited Gong Yuan to have a meal.

    The most important person at the dinner was the high-quality pigs raised by his own family, and Gong Yuan ate them with relish.

    "Sure enough, the pig from Prince Yu's Mansion tastes the best!" Gong Yuan praised after eating several pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs in a row, "It's just different from the ones outside! Even though I thought the pork outside was already first-class,  But compared to yours, it¡¯s still far behind.¡±

    Didn¡¯t Liu Mingqi write ¡°Pig Raising Secrets¡± before about raising pigs?

    This "Pig Raising Secrets" was not kept secret at all, and it was spread directly.

    First of all, it was spurned by farmers.

    Raising a pig is so troublesome and more expensive than raising a child. Do I have that much money to raise it?

    But then it was liked by many rich people. However, these rich people did not decide to raise it themselves. Instead, like Nangong Ji, they waited to buy some from the pigs raised by Prince Yu's Mansion and take them home to eat.

    This saves you trouble and allows you to eat the best pork.

    It¡¯s just a waste of money, what¡¯s the big deal?

    "It's very interesting that Prince Yu's Mansion is willing to sell it - we can't eat exactly the same food as the Emperor, but at least the quality is similar.

    All right.

    ¡°It can only be said that rich people have the right idea. They don¡¯t have to face the noise of pigs and the smell at home all day long.

    But there is a group of people who really started to raise pigs.

    These people are in the restaurant business.

    Especially in mid-to-high-end restaurants, the main meat they eat on weekdays is chicken, duck, goose, and fish. Mutton and beef can only be eaten at very high-end banquets.

    They carefully analyzed the cost of raising pigs and found that if they raised more pigs, the cost would not be much higher, and every part of the pigs could be used for cooking - thanks to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yu.  He was versatile and wrote out the menu in detail, so everyone felt that raising pigs was very profitable.

    So even some mid-to-high-end flower houses have participated in the pig raising business.

    They established multiple pig farms within thirty miles outside Dijing Prefecture, and actively raised pigs according to pig-raising secrets. They also paid farmers from Xiaoge Village and Xiaoyou Village to teach the techniques and let them  They made a lot of extra money.

    It was February after the Spring Festival, and the earliest batch had been on sale as early as August. Gong Yuan, who happened to be in the capital, caught up with the good time and enjoyed eating.

    Pork is fat and oily, and many people like it.

    Especially dishes stir-fried with lard are more popular among people of this era than ordinary cooking methods.

    Gong Yuan is from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan people have a tradition of liking sweets, so dishes such as Dongpo Pork, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs are very suitable for his appetite.

    Liu Mingqi looked at him eating sweet and sour pork ribs and smiled unconsciously: "Are there any pig farmers in Jiangnan now?"

    "I don't know, there should be some, right? But most of them can't be sold yet, and they haven't been popularized on a large scale." Gong Yuan said without stopping, "Your Majesty, I heard that your sausages and bacon are excellent. I'm going back.  Can you bring some with you sometimes?¡±

    Gong Yuan is such a straightforward person, he will say what he likes directly.

    Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t mind, ¡°When will you go back?¡±

    Gong Yuan replied: "Let's wait until Mu Yu and Duoyi finish their palace examinations in a few days."

    Jing Ruisi, the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, was named Muyu.

    A rising star from the south of the Yangtze River, the talented scholar Dai Feihua has multiple meanings.

    These two are the candidates from Jiangnan who came to Beijing to participate in the examination. Now that they have passed the examination, they are waiting for the palace examination in these two days.

    ?According to everyone¡¯s guesses, they can at least get the second rank of Jinshi.

    There is no way, the students from Jiangnan are so strong.

    Of course, if Gong Yuan refers to it, the list of emperors will be appropriate.

    Liu Mingqi muttered: "In November, the weather should be more suitable. You don't have to worry about it breaking when you take it back now. You can just go to Prince Yu's Mansion to get it then."

    "okay!"

    Gong Yuan smiled and thanked him, "Jiangnan may be a little colder than the capital this year. It just snowed a few days ago! In this kind of weather, there is no pressure to preserve this kind of meat products."

    Liu Mingqi said in surprise: "How do you know it snowed lightly in Jiangnan a few days ago?"

    These days are almost the deadline for water transportation this year. When the dry season comes in November, transportation will no longer be possible and transportation and access can only be achieved by land.

    &nbspAccording to the price, purchase more grain to replenish grain warehouses in various places, especially those in Jiangnan, Shandong and Jingli.

    But the businessmen refused this year, because they knew that after two consecutive years of major disasters, food must be a scarce material, so this year they could sell it at a better price, allowing them to make a lot of money.

    Governor Liu offered seven cents per liter, and the grain merchants had at least ten cents per liter. Both parties were stuck here.  Especially the closer to autumn and winter, when water transport is about to stop, the more courageous they become.

    ¡°After all, when the new year turns over, in February and March next year, when many people¡¯s food reserves are exhausted, food prices will always see a wave of increase, and they can still earn more.

    No matter how Governor Liu tried to think of a way and discussed with the landlords and grain merchants, they just refused to sell grain.

    ??We have been in a stalemate like this for almost half a month, but now there is a sudden and earth-shaking change. My lord, do you know what happened?  "

    Liu Mingqi was very cooperative and asked curiously: "What happened?"

    "Hey, Governor Liu actually bought a lot of cheap grain from Japan!" Gong Yuan showed admiration, "Japan also had a bumper harvest this year, so we hit it off and Governor Liu bought them more than 10 million shi of grain in one go.  , unloading goods at Songjiang Prefecture Port, Zhejiang Port, and Ningbo Port through water transport vessels one by one!

    You don¡¯t know that scene. According to Jing Muyu¡¯s letter from home, thousands of dock workers unload and load trucks at the dock every day, and all of them are shipped to the water transport ships.

    Many times due to various mistakes, the bag burst open and a lot of white rice fell out!  Such a scene made the grain merchants and big landowners turn blue in the face!  "

    When Gong Yuan said this, he continued to take a sip of wine, and then ate his food.

    Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t react for a moment, ¡°Where¡¯s the back?¡±

    "No more!"

    Gong Yuan said vaguely: "That's it so far!"

    "No." Liu Mingqi asked: "Did Governor Liu suppress the price of grain, or did the big landowners and grain merchants continue to hold on? There will always be a winner, right?"

    "I don't know about this. Anyway, when we received the latest Fei Ge letter, we were still in a stalemate." Gong Yuan said, "But they probably won't be in a stalemate for long! If the imperial court buys enough food,  Where can they sell the 10 to 20 million shi of grain in their hands? The local area cannot eat it, so the cost of shipping it to other places is not considered money."

    "Since everyone knows this truth, what are they waiting for?" Liu Mingqi didn't understand.

    "This is called not crying until you see the coffin." Gong Yuan knew the character of this group of businessmen. "They want to see if it is really ten million stones. If they only buy one or two million stones, they will cheat.  If they let them ship the goods, wouldn¡¯t that be a loss?¡±

    The young man¡¯s heart sank.

    Liu Renhuai must have more than 10 million shi of grain in his hands. Most of the granaries in Jiangnan have grain.

    But how to operate it so that grain merchants like them cannot detect it is probably a problem.

    Because the grain merchants and landowners are locals, they have many sources of information. If you check carefully, you might be able to find out.

    If this is self-defeating, and he and Liu Renhuai become a joke, it will definitely not be a good thing for the entire Dakang food reserve!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
