"Old man, what you are offering is the Emperor's Immortality Tablet?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at He Lin's pious look and asked.
"Yes, when the emperor becomes a saint, then we ordinary people will have a good life. We ordinary people have no way to do anything for the emperor. We can only offer the longevity tablets and pray for the emperor's dragon body to be healthy and long-lasting."
He Lin smiled and nodded, never expecting that the person in front of him would be the current emperor.
"Hmm~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with a smile on his face, while Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian and others next to him touched their mustaches one by one.
¡°Old man, this meat is expensive, can¡¯t we raise pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc.?¡±
Liu Jin thought for a while and asked He Lin again.
"That's right~"
"Now the price of meat has increased, but the price of grain has been falling year after year. The demand for meat in the capital is very high. Butcher Zhang in the village is collecting pigs everywhere. It is said that he kills more than ten pigs a day. Pigs, even this is not enough to sell, because there are too many people eating meat, and there are only so many pigs.¡±
"Our Mr. Zhang, the land advocate here, saw exactly this, so he built a pig farm and raised hundreds of pigs. Then the land that used to be planted with wheat was used to grow sweet potatoes and corn. Sweet potatoes and corn to raise pigs.¡±
"Oh, I have made a lot of money this year. Now I am expanding my pig farm and preparing to raise more pigs next year."
When He Lin heard this, he immediately nodded and said.
"Mr. Zhang has said it bluntly. You can't make much money by growing wheat in this land. Only by raising pigs can you make money. Next year, you won't even be able to grow cotton."
¡°Raising pigs requires a lot of food.¡±
After Liu Jian listened, he thought about it and said.
"Of course you need food to raise pigs, but food is cheap now. The best rice from Nanyang costs just a few pennies per pound. If you buy more, there are discounts."
"Master Zhang and his son have their own ships that travel between Nanyang and Tianjin. They bring rice and bran directly from Nanyang. One tael of silver can buy several stones."
"There are also these sweet potatoes and corn, which are even cheaper. If you just use a few fields to plant some, you won't be able to eat them all. They are perfect for raising pigs."
"After all, it doesn't cost much to raise a pig, but the price of pork has been rising. A 200-pound fat pig can now be sold for two taels of silver."
He Lin also nodded, and then calculated the accounts for everyone with his fingers.
"So, you can make a lot of money by raising pigs?"
After Zhang Mao heard him finish the calculation, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said.
"You will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Food is very cheap, and the price of meat is constantly rising. The capital and Tianjin are full of factories, workshops, and businesses. I heard that the population of the capital alone is millions. "
"We all have money in our hands, so eating some meat is nothing. Tell me, how many pigs does this capital eat in a day?"
He Lin nodded solemnly and said.
After hearing what He Lin said, everyone nodded.
Liu Jin is relatively clear about this, because he has cooperated with the leaders of the Naiman tribe on the grassland to open wool textile mills, and he is also aware of the huge demand for meat in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.
The northern grassland province is an extremely important source of meat for the Beijing-Tianjin region. Every day, tens of thousands of sheep are transported from the grassland to Tianjin and the capital, and delivered to the dining tables of young and old men in Beijing and Tianjin.
Similarly, here in Tianjin Port, thousands of fishing boats come back every day carrying boatloads of marine fish, and then quickly deliver them to the dining tables of people in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.
"Lao Zhang probably wants to raise pigs."
Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao's pigs and couldn't help laughing.
But after careful calculation, raising pigs is indeed a good business.
Especially when food prices are low and meat prices are rising, raising pigs is extremely cost-effective.
Of course, in the era when there was no feed, the growth of this pig was still relatively slow, and it could only eat whole grains, etc., but the taste of the pigs it raised must be quite good, and it would definitely taste better than the feed pigs of later generations.
"Old man, besides eating meat, do you have any other pursuits?"
Liu Jin took note of the increase in meat prices and asked again.
"Yes, of course~"
He Lin nodded and said.
 ?Content.
But after all, this is still studying and receiving education. It may not produce much change in a short period of time, but as time goes by, the talents coming out of this new school will definitely have a huge impact on them, the landlords and gentry, and shake their traditional In terms of monopoly status and power.
Once that time comes, the entire Ming Dynasty may undergo huge changes, and the imperial examination system established over thousands of years may be destroyed.
"But they are powerless to change everything in front of them. They can't just ask the court to issue laws that stipulate that children from ordinary families cannot study or go to school.
The riot was extremely serious last time, triggering a general strike by millions of people in Beijing and Tianjin. If such a law is introduced again, the consequences will be disastrous.
¡°I am afraid that the status established by Confucianism over thousands of years will be shaken!¡±
Xie Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Being from Zhejiang, he knows all this very well. Why Jiangnan has so many talented people and capable people since ancient times is not because people in Jiangnan area value education, and the proportion of children studying is higher than anywhere else in the Ming Dynasty.
Now in the Beijing-Tianjin area, even the children of the lowest class people are going to school. After this, countless talents and capable people will inevitably emerge.
