Outside of Qingzhou City, workshops rose one after another.
The workers were busy working on the construction site.
The manor was also very lively. In addition to planting crops, Zhu Xiong had also exchanged a large number of chicks, ducks, and pigs from the system to build three huge breeding farms, which were called chicken coop, duck coop, and pig coop! It was just that it was a little too big!
The three breeding farms adopted the unified feeding management method of the later generations to carry out large-scale breeding.
The long-term workers who were assigned to work here were all stunned. There were 20,000 chicks in the chicken coop. The long-term workers looked at each other. They had never seen so many chicks in their lives.
In the eyes of ordinary people, chickens and ducks were free-range. Moreover, they were afraid that the chickens would fly away, so many people would tie a rope around the legs of the chickens.
However, King Qi had actually built houses for the chickens, ducks, and pigs, and had them live in them. Moreover, there were a large number of them, 20,000 chicks and 20,000 ducks.
There were thousands of little piggies. If they all grew up, how much meat would they have?
This was the Darming Dynasty, and the vast majority of people didn't even have enough to eat, yet His Highness King Qi was preparing a large amount of meat!
Just looking at the tens of thousands of chicks and ducklings, the scene was extremely shocking!
As expected of the Seventh Prince from the palace, he was so generous.
The employees who worked for Zhu Rong were excited and inexplicably proud. They couldn't help but straighten their backs.
If they met someone they knew and asked where they had found the job, they would give him a thumbs up and be envious.
Everyone knew that the treatment here was excellent, and King Qi had just arrived in Qi Land and was building a large business. If they followed him, they would definitely have a bright future.
Now, it was not only the people near Qingzhou who came to work as employees. Even people from other states and counties came over one after another after hearing about such good treatment.
Of course, these people who were far away from Qingzhou were all here to do long-term work.
King Qi did not reject anyone, and as long as they were capable of working, they could stay.
It was said that King Qi was going to build the Qi King Residence soon, and he would need even more manpower.
Moreover, they had to rebuild the official road in Qingzhou!
These two were huge projects that required a lot of manpower. Even if they worked for two to three years, they might not be able to complete them. Therefore, everyone only needed to work here. They would definitely be able to eat their fill and earn money!
As for Zhu Rong, the silver in his hand flowed into his pocket like water. He could not stop it at all!
With silver, he felt even more confident.
He rented shops in various provinces and counties of Qi Land and opened restaurants. Then, he used the various condiments in his hands to teach the chefs how to cook all kinds of delicious dishes!
These restaurants all had a unified name, Taibai Restaurant.
The dishes here looked, smelled, and tasted great. In fact, by the time the Ming Dynasty had developed, the dishes had become more varied.
However, compared to the future, it was still not on the same level. The key point was that the seasoning was not good.
Every Taibai Restaurant had a specialty dish, which was roast duck.
The farm provided live ducks to the restaurants in an endless stream. They were slaughtered on the same day and roasted into fragrant roast ducks on the same day. The aroma of roast ducks was very rich, and it directly floated to the commercial street, causing the passing customers to twitch their noses.
As long as they had some money in their hands, there were not many who could still move when they smelled the fragrance.
Basically, the customers would be attracted to the Grand White Restaurant to have a taste of this delicacy.
Apart from that, the caravan also began to sell some condiments.
Seasonings were still very expensive. Many seasonings were shipped from very far places such as the Western Regions, so they were not cheap at all.
For example, pepper was famous not because it was delicious, but because it was expensive.
Pepper could only be produced in the Temperate Zone. There was no greenhouse technology now, so this thing was extremely rare and precious. Only people in the palace could eat pepper.
It wasn't until the Yongle era that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the surrounding countries many times. Their power was strong, and many small countries became affiliated countries. The amount of pepper tribute was too much to be eaten in the palace warehouse. Only then did it circulate to the people.
Even during the Yongle era, the price of pepper in the market was as high as 100 strings of money, which was 100 taels of silver.
Zhu Xiong's caravan had increased the variety of condiments and lowered the prices. Although they were still luxury goods that ordinary people could not afford, the prices had clearly shown a downward trend.
These seasonings also became the resources that high-ranking officials, rich merchants, and landowners competed to purchase.
The dishes that he made were indeed more delicious than before. Of course, compared to the cooking skills of Taibai Restaurant, they were still much worse.
Marquis Jiangyin, this cheap father-in-law, had originally come over from the capital to help supervise the construction of the Qi King Manor.
In the end, His Majesty had yet to reply, and the silver was nowhere to be found.
It was unknown whether it was deliberately delaying the marriage of the two families, or if something had happened in the imperial court, so they couldn't care less about King Qi's side!
Although he was anxious, there was nothing he could do. It was impossible for the Wu family to fork out money to build such a huge palace.
Moreover, the Wu family could not afford that much money.
He had always felt that letting the Seventh Prince live in this manor was really a disgrace to his status. However, the Seventh Prince himself seemed to enjoy it and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground every day.
Inside the manor, it was also exceptionally lively. They were constantly hiring long-term and short-term workers. They were even building a large number of houses outside Qingzhou City. No one knew what they were doing.
Previously, the old man had only been wandering around the small lake in the manor. There were trees and water here, and the scenery was quite good.
The rest of the land was King Qi's fertile farmland. He didn't even bother to take a look.
But now, it was said that there were three rather large breeding farms in the manor.
In addition, there were more and more people in the manor, and it was quite lively. The old man had nothing to do, so he wanted to take a look.
Before he even got close, he saw long-term workers coming in and out of the chicken coop. They were busy working non-stop. Truckloads of chicken manure were sent to the farmland as fertilizer.
Some people even brought buckets of water into the huge chicken coop.
"Greetings, Marquis Jiangyin!"
"Greetings, Marquis Jiangyin!"
Seeing the Marquis of Jiangyin, Wu Liang, walk over, the long-term workers hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
"Yes!" Marquis Jiangyin nodded his head casually. With his hands behind his back, he calmly walked to the window of the huge chicken coop and looked inside.
His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!
The little yellow chicks were crowded in the chicken coop. At a glance, they looked like Wang Yang.
"How many chicks are there?!”
The long-term worker beside him was already used to it. When he heard this, he hurriedly replied,"Reporting to Marquis Jiangyin, there are a total of 20,000 chicks in this chicken coop!”
Gulp!
Marquis Jiangyin swallowed hard,"What?" Twenty thousand?"
It was actually in units of ten thousand?
Marquis Jiangyin's heart was in turmoil, and he even suspected that he had not woken up.
After visiting the duck farm and pig farm, he finally accepted the reality.
"Why are you raising so many? Can you finish it?"
The long-term workers were only focused on their work, so how could they know what King Qi was thinking? They didn't dare to answer casually.
This was the first time the old man had seen someone raise so many chickens, ducks, and pigs at once.
Little chicks, little ducks, good lord, Wang Yangyang had a total of 20,000!
The old man was a little worried.!”
