Chapter 311
With the addition of milk and eggs, many children have obvious signs of gaining weight, and then the order of biscuits has never stopped.
This even led to an increase in the prices of milk and sugar. The purchase volume was too large and it was difficult to meet the demand.
Li De has been considering this matter recently. Raising cattle is not a trivial matter. The cattle purchased in the Western Regions cannot be cultivated. Apart from the use of cattle carts, it seems that milk can generate value.
However, the cost of feeding is also very high and cannot be slaughtered at will. If it is used as arable land, it takes a lot of time. After thinking about it, I decided to build a dairy farm.
The corresponding matching construction is the planting of super-large ice cellars and forage grass, which does not conflict with the supply of green feed for pigs, and the required cultivated land will be greatly increased.
In this way, the demand for land in the suburbs will increase, and the cost of personnel and technical personnel will also increase.
"De'er, our family has asked people to buy ten cows in the suburbs of the city. The milk supply should be enough. Now the fields and farmers in the village are no longer enough. Should we buy some land and tenants?" Zheng's mother asked.
Li De knew that his mother was for him.
"It's up to the mother to arrange everything."
"De'er, don't worry about business, don't forget Xiuning's marriage." Zheng's mother said.
"I understand." Li De said.
If his mother didn't mention this matter, he wouldn't have thought of it. It felt like it was a bit too long. Duke Tang's reaction was not clear at all. If you don't agree with you, you should express your opinion. What's going on?
A person with such a wise man would not be unaware of the marriage between the two families. The pros and cons of the two families were analyzed, either because they felt that there were not enough interests or they just didn't want to break up with the Chai family.
In the mansion of the Duke of Tang in Taiyuan Prefecture, Li Yuan was discussing matters with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in his study.
Li Jiancheng's leg injury is already fine. He looks like an ordinary person. However, his legs will have a faint pain in rainy weather. This is a sequelae left by the fracture and cannot be eradicated. Fortunately, it does not affect his movements.
His attitude towards Li De has changed a lot. He knew very well that if there was such a talent at his disposal, it would be a big deal, but his cousin's talent and actions were not something he could control at all, so he was very distressed about this.
A few days ago, Li Xiuning wrote to talk about Chang'an and even mentioned the marriage with the Li family, which made him see hope to win over Li De. He also strongly agreed to the marriage, but their father had no further information and did not mention it afterwards.
"How did my son recover from his injury?" Li Yuan seemed to ask questions, but every word he said was like a criticism in Li Shimin's ears.
"What does my father mean? Could it be that I asked me to call out the soldiers in my hand?"
Li Shimin was very smart and immediately guessed that the achievements he had made over the past few months were obvious to all. If he handed over the troops in his hands, wouldn't it be useless?
"It's okay. I went hunting with Yuan Ji yesterday and got a lot of harvest." Li Jiancheng said.
"Okay, since you have recovered, don't be tempted. You need to return to the barracks as soon as possible." Li Yuan said.
"Yes." Li Jiancheng was naturally happy and immediately responded.
Li Shimin was in a complicated mood. His father said that the troops he trained had to give in. He was really unwilling to give in and wanted to fight for him, but this might hurt the harmony of his brothers, so he continued to remain silent.
Li Yuan saw it and saw that Li Shimin did not speak, he continued: "Shimin has made a lot of efforts in the past few months and is already familiar with the affairs of the barracks. His soldiers will continue to stay in your hands and help your elder brother."
"Yes." Li Shimin answered immediately.
In addition to the soldiers he returned to his elder brother, he left behind all the soldiers he trained in the past few months. Including the 1,000 guards, his combat effectiveness may not be as bad as Li Jiancheng's soldiers.
It’s just that there is no main general. If he is helping Brother Tang, why worry about the big thing not being done?
"Father, whether my father has made a decision on the matter between my sister and my cousin, the Chai family has no face to give his father any regard for this matter." Li Shimin suddenly said.
Li Jiancheng actually wanted to mention this matter, and originally planned to talk about it later. It is rare that Li Shimin, who has always been silent and calm, would take the initiative to talk about it, but gave him a chance.
"Hmph!" Li Yuan snorted coldly, and his attitude suddenly became serious, making the two of them a little at a loss.
I can't understand what their father thought. If I could recruit Li De, it would be of great benefit to the Li family. I shouldn't get angry, right? Could it be to the Chai family?
When the two were puzzled, Li Yuan thought that his daughter had outstanding abilities, but she was confused about the affairs of the Chai family. It should not be clearly planned.
Getting married to the Li family seems to have found a good home. The Chai family should have been the key move for him, but it is impossible to count on him now.
What’s more important is that Li Xiuning’s impulse will make their Li family appear in the eyes of His Majesty today, and they will definitely be prepared for it. Although Taiyuan Prefecture is far from Chang'an, it is necessary to be more cautious when doing things in the future.
When Yang Guang was King of Jin, he regarded their Li family as a strong enemy. Now he is in power and has no choice but to provoke him. Although he will not provoke him on his own initiative, he has to be careful of his mentality.
The reason for the matter between Li Xiuning and Ang Lee who he disagreed was that the Li family in Chang'an would never support his plan when necessary, which was equivalent to losing his daughter. It seemed that there were many benefits in name but in fact there were more dangers than benefits.
"You both think this is a good thing?" Li Yuan asked.
When Li Jiancheng heard the opportunity came, he must perform well, so he said: "The two families will marry each other and the Li family will gather people's hearts and provide more information in Chang'an. I heard that my sister made a lot of money with the help of her cousin. Just say that the financial resources of the Li family are the greatest help."
How could Li Yuan not know about this? Especially Li Xiuning’s money-making incident, I told him that he could earn money from merchants in just a few days. When he first learned about this, he was a little unbelievable.
Li Shimin didn't rob the words. He needed to calm down at this time. Li Jiancheng said something right, but the financial resources of the Li family were too ignorant.
Who is Li De? The Li family's son, who will inherit the title in the future. Besides, the Li family's wealth is not Li De alone. It may be difficult for the Li family to rely on for financial resources to get help.
What he likes is how much help this person can bring to him in the future. With his sister's relationship, he will not worry about not getting help in the future.
"Brother is talking about it." Li Shimin said.
Li Jiancheng re-in charge of the barracks, Li Shimin had a good attitude, and Li Yuan was very happy to see such a harmonious brotherly relationship. He actually had some bias.
All the children of the Li family are good talents. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin performed particularly well. Sometimes it is really difficult to measure the palms and backs of the hands, but the elders are orderly and their thoughts are deeply rooted. Li Yuan thought there was nothing to discuss at all.
