Li An actually told everyone that there were little leopards and small wild dogs in the wild boar's recipe, which subverted everyone's cognition, after all, they had never seen wild boars eat small wild dogs, nor had they heard of such a thing, and even many older guards heard about it.

However, many people have an expression on their faces, that is, doubt and disbelief, thinking that Ang Lee is joking, how can a wild boar eat a beast? Isn't there a big wild dog around the little wild dog to protect it, as long as there is a big wild dog to protect it, how can the wild boar have the ability to kill the little wild dog.

Moreover, in the impression of the vast majority of people, wild boars are vegetarian, just like domestic pigs, they are all grown by vegetarianism, but they don't know that wild boars eat meat, much crazier than domestic pigs, it is estimated that if you can beat the tiger, there is no problem with eating tiger meat, as long as it is something that can be eaten, the strong stomach function of wild boars can be withdrew.

Of course, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Ang Lee is also hard to believe, in later generations, Ang Lee likes to watch the show man and nature very much, among them, there is a scene of a wild boar killing a little wild dog and eating it, and Ang Lee is a little skeptical about life.

Wild boars eat small wild dogs is nothing, in the show Man and Nature, many animals that usually give people the impression of being vegetarians, in fact, they all eat meat, and the means are extremely cruel.

For example, male baboons like to eat fawn cubs, and it is very cruel to eat alive, when eating half of the fawn cubs, the fawn cubs are still alive, the doe next to them no matter how hard they try to save their children, and the fawn cubs can only watch their bodies being eaten little by little, and the fear and pain in their hearts can be imagined.

In addition, while the gorillas are vegetarians, they are also very fond of preying on monkeys, and they will unite to surround the monkeys, and then try to kill them and eat them.

In addition to wild boars, gorillas, and baboons, there are many more animals in nature that appear to be vegetarians, but actually eat meat.

"Li Shilang has really seen a wild boar eating a small wild dog?"

Li Yu was the first to stand up and ask questions.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, I did see wild boars eating little wild dogs, and moreover, when the little wild dogs were alive, they ate half of the little wild dogs, and the little wild dogs are still alive, isn't it cruel." ”

This is true, although Ang Lee has not seen such a scene in nature with his own eyes, but he has seen it in people and nature in later generations, so it is definitely not a lie, he is telling the truth.

Wild boars eat small wild dogs is real, sometimes female wild dogs are helpless next to them, when wild boars eat small baboons, a large group of female baboons are next to them, but they are unable to attack wild boars with huge bodies, they can only watch their own kind being eaten by wild boars, of course, male baboons with great strength, will also eat small wild boars, this is fair, everyone eats each other, you eat my cubs, I also eat your cubs, it depends on who is strong.

"Did you see it in the mountains of Yingzhou? I heard that there are a lot of wild boars there. ”

Li Yu knew that Li An's childhood was spent in Yingzhou, and at the same time, he also knew that there were many wild animals in the mountains near Yingzhou, and wild boars would not be missing.

Li An had to tell a little lie this time, nodded his head, and said: "That's right, I saw it in the mountains near Yingzhou, but the wild boar that ate the little wild dog was hunted by me and sold at a good price in the market." ”

"Wow, the wild boar is so fierce!"

An imperial grandson said.

"No matter how fierce the wild boar is, it hasn't become our meal, wow, it's so fragrant!"

Tang Er naughtily stuffed a piece of wild boar meat in his hand into his mouth and chewed it gently, with a rather pleasant expression.

"Haha, the ferocious wild boar has become our meal, hahahaha!"

The emperors and grandsons were all immediately happy, and nothing made them happier than eating fragrant wild boar.

These children are still too young to participate in hunting, but when they are older, they can go out hunting, and the excitement of hunting will certainly make them very interested, especially after successfully hunting wild beasts, it can make people feel great satisfaction.

"Eating wild boar is so proud, if you hunt wild boar yourself, then you won't your tail to the sky."

Li An touched Tang Er's little head, said with a smile, and then asked, "Who of you knows how many little wild boars a wild boar can produce at one time?" ”

"Five or six."

"Seven or eight."

"A dozen."

Several emperors and grandsons scrambled to answer.

Li An nodded with satisfaction: "What you said is very good, you are all right, wild boars can give birth to more than four cubs in one litter, and at most they can give birth to more than 20 cubs?" Moreover, it can give birth to cubs twice a year, and the maximum number of cubs can exceed 50 a year, isn't it amazing. ”

"Wild boars are so powerful, it would be better if we could have more cubs, then we can have endless wild boar."

Li Shi opened his mouth and said.

This answer caused Li An to think deeply, Li Yu next to him, his eyes also moved, they all know very well, the number of wild animals in Lishan is decreasing a lot, five or six years ago, when Li Yu first followed the royal family to Lishan to hunt, there were more wild boars and other wild animals in Lishan than now, but at this moment, the number of wild boars in Lishan has obviously decreased greatly, if it is not for the luck of the guards, and many people cooperate with each other to hunt, they may not be able to catch wild boars.

The sharp decline of wild animals is very directly related to the continuous rise of the population of Chang'an City, but it is not because of the shortage of food caused by the increase in population, on the contrary, the population of Chang'an City continues to increase at the same time, not only does not appear a shortage of food, but is becoming more and more abundant, and the people do not have a lack of food.

So, if there is no shortage of food and drink, why should people extend their claws to wild animals in the wild? This naturally involves the pursuit of delicious food, how can ordinary ingredients be compared to game, especially mountain treasures, that is, wild animals in the mountains, the taste is very delicious, people with money and status, who do not like to eat wild game, in this way, the demand for wild animals in the mountains will remain high, and the price will rise again and again, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, since the price of game is very high, many poor people are naturally very willing to go to the mountains to hunt, as long as you catch a game, you can exchange a lot of money, why not?

However, with the continuous decline of wild animals, hunting has become more and more difficult in recent years, and many times, the hunters go into the mountains all day without finding anything, so they can only go back very disappointed.

This is similar to the overfishing of later generations, in the developed seafaring society, there are many fishermen on the seaside, everyone relies on fishing for a living, but because the fishing equipment is more and more advanced, the number of fishermen fishing is increasing, which eventually leads to the wild marine fish being caught, many very delicious marine fish are caught extinct, and people can no longer eat wild marine fish.

The reason why there is such a tricky situation is entirely because everyone is selfish, and they all want to catch more fish by themselves, even if they catch small fry, they will not release them, so they will not be able to eat fish in the future.

However, smart people quickly thought of a way, that is, to adopt the method of artificial breeding, the wild economic fish, put in the cage breeding, and the cage is their own, not to grow a big time, generally will not be fished, so, naturally solve the requirements of people want to eat wild marine fish.

But after all, this is artificially farmed wild marine fish, the quality and the real wild still have some gaps, people want to eat the real wild marine fish, it is still very difficult, so that many real wild fish, the price can easily increase ten times a hundred times, or even a thousand times the price.

Therefore, in order to meet the needs of more people to eat delicious seafood, many wild animals can only be artificially cultivated, so as to cultivate a large number to satisfy people's appetite.

"In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer wild boars in Lishan, and the price of wild boar meat cuts in Pingkangfang has increased tenfold, and our children and grandchildren will not be able to eat wild boar in the future."

Li Yu opened his mouth to express the worries in his heart.

Li An nodded lightly and said, "If a large number of people are allowed to enter Lishan to hunt, it is really possible that wild boars will become extinct in the future, at least, they will gradually become extinct in the Lishan area." ”

"Is there any way we can solve this problem? It's not really going to eat up the wild boars in Lishan! There are fewer and fewer pheasants, hares, and so on. ”

Li Yu also didn't want to find wild animals near the capital in the future, so they wouldn't even have the opportunity to hunt.

Of course, as a royal family, he should be able to think of establishing a protected area, sending soldiers and horses to defend the nearby mountains and rivers, and not allowing ordinary people to go into the mountains to hunt, so that it can indeed solve the problem to a certain extent, but in this way, the people will definitely have opinions, which is equivalent to cutting off the way of life of some people, so it will inevitably cause a backlash.

Moreover, it is precisely because many hunters go into the mountains to hunt that there is game for sale in the expensive restaurants in the capital, and if the reserve is fully established, the supply of game in the capital will be immediately interrupted, and the consequences will be serious, and many wealthy people will think that the royal family only cares about eating wild meat for themselves, and does not let them taste it.

Li An said without thinking: "If we want to solve the problem of protecting wild animals in the mountains and meet the needs of restaurants in the capital at the same time, the only way is to carry out artificial breeding, and only by carrying out large-scale artificial breeding can we fundamentally solve this problem, which is the only way." ”

"Farmed wild animals? Is this really possible? Does that raise still have the taste of wild? ”

Li Yu frowned and asked.

Li An said with a smile: "As long as the gap between the artificial simulation environment and the wild is not very large, it will be able to produce animals on a large scale, which are similar to those in the wild, and at that time, it will be able to supply restaurants and restaurants in Beijing in large quantities." ”

This is a very common phenomenon in later generations, almost all wild animals, there are human beings for commercial breeding, of course, particularly precious wild animals, is not allowed, such as giant pandas, tigers and lions, etc., can not be used as food, who eats who is illegal.

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, there are no protected animals, tigers and giant pandas eat casually, and even, the lobby and chairs of many bandits are covered with tiger skins, which shows that in the Tang Dynasty, it is no problem to eat rare beasts such as tigers, and moreover, fighting tigers is called a hero, not a crime.

"If it can really be farmed on a large scale, it is also a very good idea, and Li Shilang's idea is very good."

It can be seen that Li Yu is still very supportive of Li An's idea.

Of course, since ancient times, breeding wild animals is not without precedent, as a royal with supreme power, since ancient times like to breed all kinds of beasts, even, foreign races in order to please, will also send cherished beasts, the Tang Dynasty royal has bred various types of beasts, however, these are small fights, for the royal family to watch, equivalent to building a zoo, not to supply the market, the number of breeding is too little, and if to meet the needs of the market, It is necessary to carry out very large-scale farming.

For large-scale farming, there are many problems that need to be taken into account, and the breeding of the Royal Zoo only needs to take care of the beasts, no matter how high the cost is, it does not matter, and if you want to carry out large-scale commercial farming, it is necessary to consider the cost and safety issues.

If the cost of breeding is too high, many people will not be able to afford it, and it is also a waste of social resources, and the safety issue is to prevent the emergence of plague.

The Royal Zoo breeds two tigers, can be very carefully cared for, the possibility of plague in the two tigers is very low, and if you want to carry out commercial breeding, a breeding garden to make tens of thousands, then, so many animals gathered together, once one of them is sick, will it be transmitted to the other few, and then, carry out unlimited infection, and finally, let tens of thousands of farmed wild animals all die, so, the breeder, is not to die.

Many chicken farmers in later generations raised tens of thousands of broiler chickens by themselves, but the arrival of a chicken plague made all these tens of thousands of chickens sick and died.

Therefore, if you want to carry out large-scale breeding, whether it is breeding pheasants or pigs, you must be prepared to defend against the plague, only in this way can you better safeguard the interests of farmers, so that more people are willing to work hard to breed wild animals, and then serve the people, so that the living standards of the people of Datang can be raised to a higher level.

Of course, while breeding, it is also necessary to consider the combination with planting, so that the benefits can be greater.
