Coming out of the palace, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to come to Yan's mansion, ran to the chicken shed in the courtyard, and really saw a group of little chickens, running around.

These chickens are really a little different, all of them are like fighting cocks, and they are very energetic, Zhou Yu can't help but move his mind.

"Uncle, you are stealing......" How can he cry with a sad face.

"Hmph, the old man just borrowed it to take a look, and he will definitely pay it back!"

Zhou Yu grabbed most of the running chickens and stuffed them into the carriage and ran away with a swish.

Yan Chengjin came back from the next duty, and when he heard how could he say that Chang Ningbo had come to steal chickens again, he came to the chicken shed to take a look, and sure enough, more than half of them were missing.

Zhoufu,

After coming back from the Yan Mansion, Zhou Yu squatted in front of the chicken pen and pondered, motionless, and the housekeeper Zhou Wangcai had a bitter face: "Master, what's so beautiful about this chicken?" ”

Zhou Yu scolded: "You know a fart!" Look at the plague chicken you raised, look at the running chicken raised by Yan Chengjin, what kind of face do you have to eat my Zhou family's rice. ”

Zhou Wangcai looked aggrieved: "Master......"

"Now that it's cold, people are going to freeze to death, not to mention animals, if the old man raises this chicken that is not afraid of the cold and sells it to those ministers in the palace, I don't know how much silver he can earn." Zhou Yu came to the spirit again.

I didn't understand it after pondering for two days.

Zhou Yu came to Yan's mansion again, rubbed his hands and said to Yan Chengjin: "Virtuous nephew, how did you get this chicken, why can't the old man understand?" ”

This is Darwin's theory of evolution, and if you can understand it, you can be Darwin.

Although artificial selection of transgenic organisms is very simple, it is to take the strong ones and continue to breed, just like hybrid rice, and constantly screen out the full grains for crossing, until the upper limit can be reached.

It seems that it is still high school biology knowledge, which is undoubtedly a fantasy for Zhou Yu.

Speaking of which, in addition to the large-scale breeding of horses by the imperial court, there was no large-scale breeding industry in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Yu was the first large chicken farmer in the capital.

"Uncle return the stolen chickens first, and the next official will tell you." Yan Chengjin Road.

Zhou Yu's face was embarrassed, and after all, he still paid for the money to buy all the chickens, and was knocked hard by Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin is also an honest person, not only told him the method, but also sent him a veterinarian.

Zhou Yu is happy! I'll make arrangements when I go back.

……………………

Warm Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi has been worried about ploughing cattle for the past two days, and he has no intention of reviewing the sparse music, so he has his hands behind his back and looked at the portrait of Taizu for a long time.

After the ban on cattle was promulgated, there was no increase in cattle, and now it is still experiencing a great cold.

If the people have no cattle, how can they plow the land in spring? When I think about it, I feel ashamed of my ancestors, and when I look at it, my eyes become cloudy.

"Has the prince ever gone to Yan's Mansion recently?"

Mu Bin bowed down and reported: "The prince is in the East Palace these days. ”

"It's good if you don't, the prince is the prince, and he will also govern the world in the future, and the world is not so easy to govern." Emperor Hongji sighed.

Mu Bin thought for a while, and then said: "Chang Ningbo always runs to Yan's mansion, and it seems that he is plotting with Yan Chengjin about something...... Say it's a great fortune together......"

Li Dongyang's old face twitched fiercely.

Speaking of Yan Chengjin, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became interested, this guy was steady and cautious, but it made him feel that he could be trusted.

"Let Yan Chengjin come to see me."

Yan Chengjin followed Mu Bin to the cabinet, and before he could ask Emperor Hongzhi to ask for peace, he asked: "I heard that you have been planning to make a fortune with Chang Ningbo in the past two days?" Let me also listen, what is the way to make a fortune? ”

Yan Chengjin was a little embarrassed, Your Majesty didn't say it, it was Chang Ningbo who called the old man to make a fortune... The old man has made a fortune.

"Chen guessed, which factory guard misreported the news, this is because the running chickens in the minister's family were not frozen to death, the minister told Chang Ningbo, with the best chicken that can withstand cold and cold, the offspring seem to be able to resist the cold, and the body is strong, it is easier to give birth to chicken cubs, this is the truth that the minister realized from the dragon and the dragon and the phoenix, so Chang Ningbo, shouted to make a fortune."

Dragons and dragons and phoenixes can still be used like this?

This is refreshing for Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others.

After thinking about it, there seems to be some truth, according to the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, the cold-resistant chicken, isn't the cold-resistant chicken born?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin directly, and his voice trembled a little: "Really? ”

"I'm not sure yet, but ...... The chicks hatched in the minister's house have never frozen to death, so the minister also calls it the law of the strong. ”

Hiss!

The faces of Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others changed greatly.

Yan Chengjin knew that this was too unbelievable for them, but cold resistance was really a drizzle in the theory of evolution.

Some species swim in the water and evolve to run on the ground, and those that run from the ground evolve into those who fly in the sky.

If you really want to tell Emperor Hongzhi that people are monkeys, Emperor Hongzhi and others are afraid that they think he has a brain disease......

Li Dongyang was the first to think of the key point, so he asked urgently: "This method ...... Can it be used on ploughing cattle? ”

Emperor Hongji also looked at him expectantly.

All living creatures can be used.

"Chen thinks that he can let Chang Ningbo give it a try." Yan Chengjin Road.

The theory of evolution can certainly be applied to cattle, and selection and breeding can increase the number of cattle reproduced.

However, Yan Chengjin is more worried about the epidemic brought by the Xiaoice period.

The Black Death nearly wiped out the Eastern Roman Empire.

Under the great cold, there is no food, and many displaced people begin to catch rats to eat, and any major epidemic will lead to the decline of national strength.

The fields were uncultivated, the population was plummeting, and people were displaced.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted a prosperous era, and Yan Chengjin also wanted it.

After the Black Death, it brought a Renaissance to the West, which in turn promoted the Industrial Revolution in the West.

But not in the Ming Dynasty, history proves that the Industrial Revolution was not born in the Ming Dynasty.

In order to prevent problems before they happen.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while, and said: "The minister also has something he wants to play, and now many people have no rice to cook, so they catch rats to eat, which may cause epidemics." ”

Emperor Hongzhi groaned a few times and felt incredible: "There are still people who can eat rats?" ”

Why not minced meat?

You are the son of heaven, although you shout thrifty every day, but can the eunuchs really watch you eat chaff?

Emperor Hongzhi's so-called frugality naturally dropped from super luxury to general luxury specifications, far from the point of not being hungry.

Yan Chengjin wanted to say that rats are relatively normal food on the foodie list.

I was thinking about how to explain it to Emperor Hongzhi.

At this moment, Liu Jian took a step forward, his face solemn: "It is true, Your Majesty has ever heard of it, hunger, do not choose food, when the minister has not yet entered the office, there is a great famine, and many people in the township feed on rats, and the great famine is not unreasonable." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Yan Chengjin, what do you want to say?" ”

Yan Chengjin was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "When the rat is hungry, he will dig out the seeds in the ground and eat it, the minister thinks, it is better for the government to collect the rat for a penny!" ”

Li Dongyang was dumbfounded.

Emperor Hongzhi's old face twitched fiercely: "What does the imperial court want rats to do?" ”

"This move seems to be the court is collecting rats, but in fact it is to eradicate the epidemic, if the court spends money to collect rats, the displaced people will be reluctant to eat, and they will exchange it for money, since Shuntianfu has opened a warehouse to give food, the displaced people are also idle when they are full, why not let them find something to do, with money and silver for the winter, they will not think about rebellion all day long."

Li Dongyang was a little painful: "One penny, you pay the silver?" ”

"If you go out of the official, you will go out of the official." Yan Chengjin immediately responded.

With me Yan Chengjin here, I don't think there is the slightest possibility of an outbreak of epidemics, if there is an epidemic this year......

Let's go and see where it's buried.

Liu Jian and the others were already speechless.

People pay money to eliminate harm, and they also give money and silver to appease the homeless, what else do you have to say?

Emperor Hongzhi was embarrassed to get up, and coughed dryly: "Yan Qing's family has made meritorious contributions, how can you let Yan Qing's family come out, I will give half of it." ”

"............" Yan Chengjin.
