Chapter 812 Liu Ji: I heard that you have no children, and I want to provide for you in your old age!

If others heard this, they would probably be horrified, thinking that Ying Chengyu was going to punish him severely for this!

But Liu Ji grinned and handed over his hands casually: "I would like to report to the Lord of Chang'an that there are 1,928 adult sows in the hog farm."

"Except those who have given birth to piglets, all of them are pregnant!"

Ying Chengyu was stunned and asked in a voiceless voice: "You made all the female piglets pregnant?!!"

Liu Ji raised his head proudly: "I will live up to the expectations of Lord Chang'an!"

"Liu is not talented, but he has made all the female pigs in the pig treatment hospital pregnant or gave birth to pigs!"
 "Wen Yin and Ruyun are the offspring of Dahei and Ji Di Zhao!"

After saying this, Liu Jicai felt something was wrong.

What does it mean that Liu got all the sows pregnant? !

Liu Ji wanted to speak clearly, but Ying Chengyu nodded with approval: "Good!"

"Let me see it with you!"

Liu Ji had no choice but to speak. He swallowed it back and introduced it while leading Ying Chengyu to the north: "After Lord Chang'an invented the method of holding dolphins in a rope cage, the North Courtyard of the Zoological Garden was renovated according to Lord Chang'an's method." 
“Now there are 600 hog houses in the north courtyard. All the hog houses in the hog house live here, and the houses with rope cages for holding dolphins are scattered among these 600 hog houses.”

“The younger the pig, the closer its residence is to the house where the pigs are kept.”

“In the hog cage house, people would add firewood and light a fire day and night, and the smoke would penetrate into the walls of the surrounding houses through the clay pipes, so that the temperature of the hog house would not be too low, which would make the house difficult to store in the cold winter.” 
"For the convenience of feeding..."

Liu Ji's speech was a bit fast, but he was clear and coherent, without any nonsense and without a single witticism. He told the changes in the hog courtyard in the past six months one by one.

After stepping into the north courtyard gate with Liu Ji, waves of childish calls reached Ying Chengxiao's ears.

“Hedgehog!”

"Hedgehog~Hedgehog?"

"Hedgehog! Hedgehog!"

The sound of hedgehogs from a large number of piglets kept coming and going, which made Ying Chengyu feel happy.

I randomly chose a pig house and opened the door, and the warm wind mixed with the stench and the fragrance of milk hit my face.

In the pig house, the originally sleepy young man suddenly became excited and hurriedly stood up and raised his hands: "Greetings to Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengxiao smiled and nodded: "No courtesy."

"Are you looking after your son?"

The young man glanced at Liu Ji subconsciously, and then hurriedly asked Yingchengxiao He bowed his hands and saluted again: "Reporting to Lord Chang'an, I am using my body to feel the temperature of the pig house, and at the same time confirm whether the pigs in this house have been frostbitten."

Liu Ji introduced in time: "The temperature of each house is The temperature is not the same, and each house is guarded by herders throughout the day. "

"Once the piglets in a certain house get cold, the herders will immediately report it, although this is possible. It will cause some piglets to die from the cold, but it can find a relatively safe temperature and save some firewood in the future. ”

Raising the temperature was a simple matter in later generations.

In areas with relatively low temperatures, you only need to pay a heating fee to eat ice cream while watching the snow in a steaming room.

But in this era, to be precise, in the entire agricultural era, heating is an extremely luxurious thing!

Not to mention piglets, many people will freeze to death in the cold winter!

The less firewood needed to keep piglets warm, the easier it will be to raise pigs on a large scale in the future.

Ying Chengqiao nodded lightly and walked into a compartment. Regardless of the horrified look on the piglet, which was about to scare him to death, he reached out and fished it out, and asked casually: "Whose piglet is this piglet?"
 Liu Ji stepped forward and pulled the piglet's ears with his hand, then turned over a wooden sign on the piglet's ear: "The mother of this piglet is from Taihu, and its father is from Changzhi. He was born in June. Six days. "

"The temperament of this piglet is similar to that of its mother. It can eat and sleep and grows very quickly. Although it is not as fat as its mother, its strength is far better than that of ordinary Taihu piglets. It is quite unique. Fatherly style!"

Liu Ji said with a smile: "And this little pig is very active and very dexterous. I remember that this little pig actually jumped out of the compartment when it was just one month old, but the animal who was looking after it jumped out of the compartment. People were frightened."

Ying Chengyu held the piglet, which had grown to more than 20 kilograms, in his arms and asked casually: "A piglet like this is different from its parents. , how much? ”

Liu Ji nodded and said: "Quite a few."

"Currently, there are 2,515 piglets in the northern hospital, and there are 496 pigs that are obviously different from their parents. "

"I think that as they grow up, more differences will be revealed."

"But I think that differences are different, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. ."

Ying Chengyu smiled happily: "It's a good thing to be different."

"Whether it is good or bad needs to be carefully observed. This matter cannot be rushed."

"Let's go and see the newborn pigs."

Accompanied by Liu Ji, Ying Cheng Xiang took a closer look at Zhixibeiyuan.

When the sun was about to set, Ying Chengyu finally stopped, looked at Liu Ji and asked: "Whose idea was it to arrange the hog houses according to the age of the month and to find out the temperature of the hogs?"
 Liu Ji raised his chin: "It's just me who is not talented, but I am the one below!"

Ying Chengxuan asked again: "Whose idea was it to have Yu Zai's ears pierced with rings?"

Liu Ji patted his chest and said, "You're just not talented, but you're still inferior!"

Ying Chengxuan shouted coldly: "You are brave!"

Although there are many subordinate officials from the Zhishi Yamen Office running around in the Zhiyuan Courtyard, in fact, the Zhiyuan Administration has nothing to do with the court, but with the imperial court. Ying Chengyu’s private property! The pigs in the pig-controlling courtyard were either purchased by Ying Chengfan or given to him by kings and dignitaries from various countries, but there is no doubt that they are all Ying Chenggan's private property.

Without reporting it to Ying Cheng, all the piglets' ears were pierced and hung with wooden tags. This alone was enough for Ying Cheng to sue Liu Ji and send Liu Ji into the abyss!

Liu Ji spread his hands and said: "This place is an unprecedented hog courtyard. What we do is also unprecedented. Chang'an Lord is often able to achieve unprecedented achievements."

“If you are timid in everything, then what’s the point of doing anything!”

“Being humble is indeed bold, but being humble has not caused any losses, and it has completed the order of Lord Chang’an.”

"If Lord Chang'an doesn't like it, please punish me for being humble!"

Liu Ji's movements were very easy, but a thin layer of sweat broke out on Liu Ji's back.

Liu Ji knew very well that he was gambling!

If he wins the bet, he will be able to leave a deep impression on Ying Chengyu.

If you lose the bet, take your life!

The cold look on Ying Chengyu's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep smile: "You are very good."

Hearing Ying Chengyu praise Liu Ji again, Jiao Yang and others couldn't help but feel joy in their eyes.

Brother Liu Jidai is the best!

If Liu Ji becomes prosperous, brothers like them will definitely benefit from it too!

Liu Ji opened his hands, then raised them wide and said, "Thank you, Chang'an, for your praise!"

Soon, Liu Ji showed a flattering smile and moved to Ying Chengyu in small steps. He smiled and said: "What do you think of a humble official position?"

Ying Chengxi looked at Liu Jidao and said: "I will allocate two hundred people for you to dispatch, and order you to make all the pigs in the pig control courtyard pregnant with different kinds of pigs within four months."

"If If you are able to perform your duties, I originally planned to promote you to be a small official in the Animal Husbandry Office, and then transfer you to the Boar Farm to specialize in breeding."

"If you can get to know each other well while performing your duties. Qin Lu, I will recommend you to the king again to help you become an official in the court. "

Everything is afraid of the 'original plan'!

Liu Ji felt a little panicked, but showed a proud smile on his face: "I dare not forget the things that Lord Chang'an personally ordered."

"To be honest with the Lord of Chang'an, Liu spent his time studying Qin's laws when he was not governing cattle. Although he does not dare to compare himself with the old officials, if he takes part in the civil service examination again, Liu believes that he will not be punished because of the laws. Deposed! "

On the one hand, he is a clerk in the livestock office and is destined to live with livestock for the rest of his life.

On one side are the kings of Da Qin who are personally recommended to the king of Da Qin by those with the most outstanding military achievements. The king of Da Qin then personally tests and assigns official positions.

The only intersection between the two roads lies in whether you are familiar with the laws of Qin!

Don’t say that Liu Ji is already smart. Even if Liu Ji’s qualifications are only mediocre, he will risk his life to study Qin Law!

Ying Chengyu couldn't help but smile: "Good!"

"I thought that you could complete my instructions, and I also thought that you could make up for the shortcomings of the law."
>
“But I didn’t expect that you also came up with many other methods and implemented them properly to do a better job of controlling pigs.” I have been wary of Liu Ji since the beginning, but I have to admit that Liu Ji has done a really good job in the past six months.

Not only did he successfully complete all of Ying Chengxuan's instructions, he also gave full play to his subjective initiative, thinking up and making many improvements and explorations in subtle ways along the established route that Ying Chengxuan had stated.

If Liu Ji's behavior fell into Lu Buwei's eyes, Lu Buwei would definitely reprimand him.

However, Ying Chengyu likes subordinates who have such subjective initiative!

Ying Chengxuan looked at Liu Jida sincerely: "I think that if I still recommend you as a small official in the Yamen Office, you will really bury your talent!"

"I will give it to you!" It’s up to you to choose your own path!”

Liu Ji felt that at this time he should say some witty words or show his loyalty.

But Liu Ji was so nervous that he couldn't speak at all, and it was difficult to maintain the free and easy expression on his face. His eyes were fixed on Ying Chengyu, waiting for the turning point in his life.

Hearing Ying Chengxuan say: "First, I promise that I will still recommend you to the Zhenshi Yamen Office as an official."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ji felt relieved a lot.

At least there is a guarantee.

Ying Chengxuan continued: "Secondly, I can recommend you to be a county magistrate and go to your post!"

Hearing this, Liu Ji's head buzzed and he almost fainted.

Xian Cheng!

God! That's the county magistrate!

Liu risked his life and even drove through the battlefield for Zhang Er, and racked his brains to get close to Mr. Fusu and leave an impression. All he wanted was to be an official in the county government.

If Liu could be the head of a pavilion, he would be happy to do so. If he was lucky enough to be the leader of a township, Liu would definitely be grateful.

But now, Lord Chang'an is the county magistrate!

Liu never dared to dream that he could be the county magistrate!

What’s more important is that Liu Ji, who is good at understanding people, can see in Ying Chengyuan’s eyes that Ying Chengyuan treats him favorably, appreciates and... respects him!

The majestic Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty showed respect for Liu, a scoundrel in the eyes of others!

Even my father and brothers have never thought highly of and respected Liu so much, let alone given Liu such benefits!

At this moment, Liu Ji felt a strong impulse in his heart.

Chang'an Jun, I heard that you have no children. If you don't mind it, I would like to provide for you in your old age!

But just before Liu Ji knelt down and kowtowed, Ying Chengyu had already spoken again: "Third, transfer to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion. While continuing to handle breeding matters, you can also do something for me."

Liu Ji: (o▽)o

The family man! What are your instructions? I am willing to serve you!

Fortunately, Liu Ji is a person who can achieve great things after all. He suppressed his inner thoughts and asked in a trembling voice: "I wonder what I can do to serve Lord Chang'an?"

Ying Chengxuan said solemnly: " Keep it secret!”
