Chapter 1717 "Spring Returns to the Earth"

And so, the pig in question was much fatter compared to other pigs raised in other homes, with some villagers speculating that it may have eaten something unusual to make it look different.
However, Lady Pianmi refused to believe such rumors and had the pig slaughtered that day, intending to cook a meal out of it.
This pork is surprisingly delicious after being cooked, without any gamy flavor.
Then Miss Mi sent someone to investigate and unexpectedly discovered that after being castrated, the pigs not only become fatter than ordinary pigs, but also have a much gentler temperament.
What's more, it's delicious. The braised pork made from these specially raised pigs is truly unparalleled.
The people of the state of Yu suddenly realized why the pork at the Five Flavors Restaurant tasted so good, while the pork they cooked always had a strange flavor. The reason was unbelievable! They also marveled at the kind-heartedness of Miss Mi, who is now the queen of Yu. She was able to receive the secret to making delicious pork as a result of her good deeds.
The audience below began to whisper and discuss, some with doubts about whether it was true, while others were curious to try it out by raising a purebred pig next year and see if it would turn out like in the play.
More people know that this troupe was brought by the Yuxi Empress Dowager from the imperial court, and the truth about the pork is almost certain.
Ding Youqing then continued to popularize various knowledge about ecological farming and planting.
These plays are all aimed at the common people who have been working in the fields for generations and have experience in farming and animal husbandry at home.
As the saying goes, those who are experienced know the skill of the trade. All the knowledge passed down by Ding Youqing is reasonable and logical, and many of his teachings have even enlightened the common people.
比如在水塘养鸭，蚕沙等可以养鱼，还有蚯蚓养鸡等，这些都是可行的，也都是他们了解的知识。
再然后，宣传开荒免税几年的事，丁有庆用戏的方式，把朝延的政令用通俗易懂，又充满爆点的方式传道出去。
This winter came late, but it was just as cold.
However, people's hearts were warm because they were full of hope for the future and expectations for next year.
The people of the state of Yu, who had been trapped in darkness and war for many years, felt a sense of belonging to a country for the first time.
In the second year, when the earth was sprung back to life, and the first tender shoots appeared as the spring snow melted, the people of the State of Yu began to move.
After experiencing several years of war and changes in government, although the people suffered greatly, it was not without any benefits.
This benefit is in the vast lands of Yugu, because the continuous succession of power has left many unowned lands.
Especially after some influential families and nobles were uprooted, their lands can be redistributed once.
This is a reshuffle.
This spring, as long as you are willing to work hard, this land will have endless uncultivated land.
As long as you are willing to pay hard work, it is destined to be a year of fruitful harvest.
With the mobilization of over a dozen theater troupes led by Ding Youqing, the state of Yu welcomed its most lively and bustling year.
It was also a year of rebirth.
This year was destined to be permanently recorded in the annals of history, becoming the most brilliant stroke in the river of time.
At this time, Xiao Jin led tens of thousands of newly trained soldiers from the winter training, accompanied by 10,000 soldiers from the Chu kingdom and 8,000 soldiers from the Yu kingdom, and the army set out to regain lost territory.
There was only one city from the Jiang state and two cities from the Song state among the lands lost by the state of Yu.
