During military training, the generals consumed a lot of physical energy, but the productivity of the Tang Dynasty was relatively low. It was not easy for the generals to eat. As for whether they were full or not, they did not consider it at all.
Therefore, it was not that many generals did not know how to train soldiers, but they did not have the capital to train soldiers. It was not easy to solve the problem of eating for the stewards.
The longer Duan Peng came to this world, the more he understood that the military pay sent by the Branch Office and the thousands of strings of money given to him by Second Emperor Li were simply not enough to spend, because there were too many things to be responsible for.
The maintenance of the armaments, the general's uniform and armor, and the daily expenses were all huge expenses.
Duan Peng didn't want to waste his time as a nursery manager who played around with the library, so he wanted to strengthen the army. Since the court couldn't help, he could only rely on himself.
Raising pigs was a small capital and a huge profit. It could also improve the general's food standards and take care of his body. It could also save military expenses and make money. It was a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.
Although Fang Er was only a middle-lower class in the training, this was not important. The key was that he had a good father. Putting aside whether he would be cuckolded in the future, Duan Peng decided to give Fang Er a golden hat of the God of Fortune first.
Duan Peng readily agreed to Fang Er's request, Fang clan would pay ten thousand strings to build a professional pig farm while Duan Peng would provide professional breeding techniques.
In fact, Duan Peng's so-called breeding technique was nothing more than strictly monitoring the pigs and then paying attention to their physical condition. After that, he would feed the pigs so that they could eat and grow meat on their own.
But people did not know about this yet, so Duan Peng confidently used this as a technology investment, splitting it 50 - 50 with Fang clan.
Just like that, Second Fang still felt that he had profited. Duan Peng shamelessly raised a condition to Second Fang, which was to contribute twenty pigs to the Embroidered Guard Camp every month to improve their food. Second Fang readily agreed.
Fang Er didn't take any of the pigs in the Embroidered Guard Camp, but he only packed the sauce bones made by Zhang Qiaoniang and brought them home to show respect to his father and mother.
Fang Xuanling was also greatly surprised after eating it. The meat was delicate and refreshing, and it didn't have the fishy smell of mutton. For Fang Xuanling, who was not feeling well, it was definitely a delicacy that he couldn't forget.
When Fang Er saw that his father liked it, he told Fang Xuanling that it was pork and that he would fork out ten thousand strings of money to raise pigs with Duan Peng.
"Yiai, you're finally sensible. This is worth doing more than business.”Fang Xuanling said with a smile. He let Fang Er go to the accounts room to get the money. Everything was up to him.
Fang Er was so excited that he was about to cry. He had lived so long and had always been reprimanded by his father. This was the first time he had praised him.
Fang Er secretly swore that he would do a good job in this matter so that his father would truly be at ease with him.
In his heart, he couldn't be more excited about Duan Peng going to the market. Ever since he started hanging out with Duan Peng, Fang Er clearly felt that his personality had changed a lot. He was more independent and determined than before.
From then on, his father, a famous official, no longer scolded and punished him. Now, because Duan Peng gave him the opportunity to cooperate, he praised his father for the first time in his life. Fang Er simply regarded Duan Peng as his teacher.
With Fang Xuan Ling's approval, everything went much smoother, Fang clan not only paid for it, they even sold this new product in the shop.
From the accountant, to the pig raising professionals, to the butchers, everything was provided by Fang clan, they were waiting to be sold in the market two months later.
Duan Peng saw that Fang Xuanling was so helpful, so he couldn't hold him back. He contributed five pigs and directly killed them on the spot to stir-fry them for free for the people to taste.
The dishes weren't any surprisingly complicated culinary skills. Other than the stewed meat, there was also the stir-fried shredded meat recommended by Duan Peng.
At first, when they saw the pork, even the poor people couldn't help but frown. They thought that the taste wouldn't be that good. However, when the fragrance of the rolling pork soup spread out, everyone couldn't help but rush up to try it.
"It's so delicious! Is this really pork?"
"It's pork. It's said that it's a new method of raising it that can get rid of the stench!”
"Indeed, there's no stench. Damn it, this was the first time he had eaten such delicious meat in his life.”
Before the sky turned dark on the first day, a pig had already finished tasting.
Duan Peng instructed people to set the next taste test to be ten days later. Fang Er now simply worshipped Duan Peng as if he was a god and did not doubt him at all.
When he returned home that night, he told his father Fang Xuanling about this. Fang Xuanling nodded in satisfaction.
"If you want to take something, you have to give it first. This little friend Duan is indeed an expert and has methods.”Fang Xuanling looked at Fang Er and smiled." Yiai has made a good friend. You have to learn more from Duan Peng in the future."”
Fang Er naturally wouldn't say that he already treated Duan Peng as his boss and worshipped him like a god. Hearing his father's words, he just nodded repeatedly.
Seeing her son, who had always been a playboy and caused trouble, receive praise and recognition from her stubborn husband, the old mother could not stop smiling. Her heart was filled with pride.
Three months had passed, and it was already the winter solstice. Duan Peng and Fang Er's pig-raising business was simply making a lot of money every day. They would definitely hit a cash cow and make money faster.
The Great Tang's cattle were used to cultivate the land and were forbidden from being slaughtered, otherwise it would be a crime. Although mutton was delicious, it had little meat, and it was not worth the price.
However, the price of pork was fair, and there was a lot of meat, both fat and thin. It turned out that no one bought it because it did not taste good.
Now that the problem had been solved, pork became the favorite of the people of Chang 'an. Duan Peng and Fang Er had made a fortune.
Now, the generals of the Embroidered Guard Camp no longer had to worry about food. Their nutrition kept up, and their training was especially strong. Although the Embroidered Guard Camp had never fought a battle, it was rumored to be the strongest general.
Duan Peng seemed to have caught up with all the good things, but seeing that there were still five days left until the new year, the peaceful Embroidered Guard Camp had soldiers come to deliver orders.
"Where is the Embroidered Guard Camp's General Master, Duan Peng?" The messenger said loudly,"Under the orders of General Cheng of the Left Guard Army, move the Embroidered Guards Camp into the main camp of the Left Guard Army. We will set off on a certain day!"”
