Marin never thought he would be distressed by too much food, yes, Marin is now distressed by too much food......

At the time of last autumn's harvest, Marin stockpiled a total of 500 million pounds of new and used grain that he did not sell. Then www.biquge.info Marin immigrated on a large scale, bringing the total population of East Friesian Lamber to 150,000.

However, 150,000 people were left to eat food, and in a year, only 100 million pounds of rye were consumed, and 400 million pounds of stocks remained......

It was a year in which the entire lower classes of East Friesland were happy. Because, bread really does! Because there was too much food, Marin didn't let anything else be mixed with the food. "Kohler bread" adulterated with grass bran also reduces the amount of adulteration.

150,000,000 people, eating 100 million pounds of grain, an average of 666.6 pounds of rye per person per year - what a terrifying figure in Europe in this era!

Now, the nobility of the East Friesian Lamberth has started a new business, that is, to exchange their stocks of rye for wheat five times more expensive, and then eat white bread made of wheat flour......

In other words, the wealthy East Friesian aristocracy no longer ate rye bread, but instead ate white bread made of wheat flour, which was preferred by the nobles of the Middle Ages...... Then, when you eat white bread, you must have plenty of butter and plenty of cheese......

Unadulterated black bread was once the favorite of the nobles and soldiers of the East Friesian Lamber. However, when they had money, they disdained to eat black bread. Only by eating wheat bread can you show your identity - this is really the thinking of a local tyrant......

In fact, Marin knows that black bread doesn't taste good, but in terms of nutrition, it is better than white bread made of wheat flour. It's just that he can't stop the local tyrants of his subordinates. After all, when people are rich, they must have a way to show their local tyrants, otherwise, they will be uncomfortable......

Just like Xiang Yu said, "Wealth does not return to its hometown, such as brocade clothes walking at night, who knows?" ”……

In the same way, for these nobles, "The rich don't eat white bread, who knows my tyrant?" ”

Not to mention these nobles, Angela and her sister-in-law Felise also think that it is time to eat white bread......

After all, other royal families all eat white bread, and we still eat black bread, which is too expensive and not in line with the identity of local tyrants......

Then Marin went with the crowd and ate white bread with him, dipping it in butter and stuffing cheese in his mouth......

It's just that if you eat like this, don't you worry about getting fat?

Not to mention those local tyrants whose homes are full of grain, Marin himself has accumulated too much grain. Last year, 400 million pounds of grain were stored, and this year another 480 million pounds were newly stockpiled...... Aside from the 200 million pounds to be sold in southern Europe, 680 million pounds of grain remained......

In order to preserve the grain, Marin built an outer city north of the city of Aurich, which was connected to the city of Aurich. In this outer city, there are no people, only food......

Because cement began to be mass-produced, Marin built the city wall and built a new granary, all using cement...... The granaries were made of cement and bricks, and the walls were made of reinforced concrete......

Build an outer city to put food, and there is no one but Marin......

680 million pounds of grain, that's 300,000 tons of grain, Marin has a headache how to consume this food......

Although, he would love to use grain to solicit immigrants. However, he didn't dare to tell others that he had 680 million pounds of grain in stock! If that were the case, there would definitely be a team of nobles to rob them...... There are people who hate the rich, there are people in all ages. Whether it is a poor person or a nobleman...... 680 million pounds of grain, if sold at the price of 1 pfennig per pound, is worth tens of millions of gold coins. With such a big wealth, even those big nobles will go crazy with red eyes......

Therefore, Marin can only keep it a secret and not talk nonsense. Fortunately, exchanges between East Friesian Lamberland and foreign countries took place mainly in the port of Emden. On Aurich's side, there are very few people from other countries. Because, even if he is a businessman, Aurich is a businessman of the Chamber of Commerce formed by Marin. Moreover, Marin had a lot of capital, and foreign businessmen could not interfere in Aurich's business activities at all......

Moreover, when Marin built the outer city for storing grain and transported grain, it was tightly shielded, and the grain trucks were all equipped with wooden carriages, and outsiders could not see that all the grain was transported, and many people thought it was a building material......

Not only that, but there was not a single civilian in the northern outer city, which was specially used to store grain, and it was all a militia guard formed by Marin's own serfs, which was relatively reliable, and did not use hired mercenaries.

However, Marin really didn't know what to do with the grain......

Even if the population of East Friesland reached 300,000 people, everyone could eat 200 million tons a year if everyone ate openly......

And Marin didn't dare to sell food in the country to prevent being targeted by people with intentions. Therefore, how to consume food has become a problem for Marin......

So, in order to relax, Marin took a few guards and went to his manor to play......

Coming to a manor not far west of Aurich, Marin rode his war horse Karl and walked into the manor leisurely......

Suddenly, two wild boars chasing each other sprang out of the bushes on the side of the road, startling Carl......

Wrong...... It's not a wild boar, it's like a domestic pig......

"Whose pigs are not closed properly, they all run out and run around!" Marin was a little angry. Suddenly two pigs came out of the side of the road, that is, in the manor, if it was in the wild, wouldn't it scare people to death? You know, wild boars in the wild are very ferocious......

Fortunately, Marin's mount, Karl, and the mounts of his guards are both war horses and are not easily frightened. If you change to a colt, you might be scared and run wild......

Marin's guards were not happy and hurriedly called the person in charge of the manor to give a lecture. The head of the village who was in charge of the manor (a special position for Marin, the head of the village was actually a serf, but the head of the serfs) replied tremblingly:

"Lord Earl, we have free-range pigs here, and they have been like this for thousands ......of years."

Marin was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that pigs in medieval Europe were indeed free-range, unlike the East, which were bred in captivity......

Why is this so? It's not because of the food problem......

Oriental people raise pigs, all in captivity, pigs only need to be in the pigsty, waiting for the owner to feed it pigweed, grain bran, wheat bran and other food by-products.

In ancient China, the grain output has always been relatively high, and the yield per mu is basically two or three hundred catties, and the grain bran and wheat bran are also sufficient. So, they have enough food by-products to feed the pigs.

Europe, however, is different. Because of the long-term low grain production, there is no condition to feed pigs with wheat bran. Because the wheat bran is eaten by the people themselves......

In the black baguette, not to mention the wheat bran, there is a lot of dirt......

So, Europeans simply couldn't afford to feed their pigs with wheat bran......

Therefore, they chose to raise their pigs free-range, run around the house like sheep, and find grass to eat by themselves like sheep......

Of course, in order to prevent these pigs from harming the crops, many pigs are herded into the forest and kept away from the farmland......

But in this way, many pigs get lost in the forest and become wild boars...... Of course, it is a wild boar without fangs, and its temperament is somewhere between that of a wild boar and a domestic boar......

For example, the famous Spanish ham, which uses pigs, is raised in oak forests. These pigs, in addition to grazing, also eat acorns that fall under the oak forest. Then, the Spanish black pig that has been eating acorns for a long time will have a very special meat taste. And another name for Spanish ham is also "Acorn Iberian ham......

However, Marin knows that letting pigs run wild in the wild all day long will not gain weight. After all, where can pigs who exercise all day long get fat? If you can't get fat, you won't have oil and water. And the ancient people liked to eat fatty meat. Because, unlike modern people, the ancients had salad oil or sesame oil to eat every day, they usually lacked oil and water, and when they ate meat, they would grab fatty meat to eat to replenish the body's oil and water......

Moreover, in this era of Europe, pigs were raised, and pigs were not castrated. Pigs that are not castrated not only have a peculiar smell of pork, but also are not restless. Because, boars have male hormones, and sows have estrogen, both of which will make pigs restless. Then, throwing field cannons in the field became their way of expending their remaining energy. However, this way you lose weight......

The domestic pigs in ancient China were castrated by veterinarians, whether they were boars or sows, as long as they were raised as meat pigs, they were castrated when they were a little older. After castration, the pig has no desire, no hormones, where is it willing to move? Coupled with the barrier of the pigsty, they will eat and sleep in the small pigsty...... Then, the body also grows very fast, and all of them are fat...... Moreover, the smell of pork is gone......

After Marin became rich, he has always eaten more beef and mutton. Moreover, even if he eats pork, he mostly chooses pork from young piglets (before the pig develops, hormones have not been secreted, and pork naturally has no peculiar smell), so he forgot about castration for a while...... It wasn't until now that I suddenly remembered......

Moreover, even if Marin remembered it before, it was useless. Because, there is not enough food to feed the pigs......

Pigs must grow well, and food is indispensable. In later generations, there were many pig farms near big cities. The owners of the pig farms drive their cars to the city restaurants every day to collect the swill dumped from the restaurants, and then pull them back to feed the pigs. Although it smells bad, the swill is real food. Therefore, the pig still has a lot of fat when it eats.

Right now, Marin is worried that there is too much food to consume. Then, he met the pig...... No, I met ...... Whatever, he just thought about raising pigs anyway......

Ma Lin was also a rural child in his previous life, and knew that before the professional feed came out, pigs usually ate grass bran to maintain their lives, and when they needed to gain weight, they were fed with high-nutrient bran and wheat bran. Of course, in spring and summer, you also need to cut the tender and juicy hogweed to feed the pigs.

Anyway, there is a lot of food now, and these estates are all their own. So, Marin decided to start promoting captive pigs......

After the pigsty was built, Marin would find a veterinarian to castrate the pigs that were kept as pigs. As for where to find a veterinarian? Is there anything better than Morrigan and Battle?

Mongolian doctors, however, are universal, and can treat not only humans but also animals......

Of course, Mozhigen and Battle were both court doctors, and they always asked them to castrate pigs too much. So, Marin decided to let Morrigan and Battle, from among his disciples, select the unsuccessful ones to become veterinarians, and be responsible for castrating pigs. The two teachers first demonstrate, and then guide the disciples who are not successful. In the future, this will be done by their unsuccessful disciples...... Of course, during castration, Marlin will wash the wound with alcohol to prevent the pig from dying of infection......

As for the usual feed for pigs, it is naturally grass bran crushed from ryegrass. Marin then had the mill on his estate separate the rye bran from the flour mill and use it as concentrate feed for the pigs. And the serfs did not need the black bread and wheat bran they ate - who called Marin more grain...... If you have money or food, you can be willful......

In addition, Marlin plans to grow more alfalfa grass. Usually, when the alfalfa grass is harvested, you can also cut some alfalfa grass as pigweed to feed the pigs. At the very least, these alfalfa grasses are much more nutritious than those wild grasses. When you feed it to pigs, the effect must be very good......

So, the matter was settled. Many estates began to build special pigpens for the breeding of pigs. Marin then went and invited Morrigan and Battle to castrate the pigs......

When the two Mongolian doctors heard Marin ask them to castrate the pigs, their faces turned even darker. Fortunately, Marin explained that in the future, this kind of thing would be handed over to their disciples who were not good at medicine. Otherwise, the two Mongolian doctors with excellent medical skills would almost turn their faces on the spot......

Although Mongolian doctors are also very good at veterinarians, they are more advanced in treating people, especially nobles. When treating an animal, you must always be a head short of the doctor who treats the animal. As court doctors, they went to castrate pigs, which was a bit humiliating......

But Marin can't help it, because, at this time in Europe, the doctors who treat people are unreliable, let alone the veterinarians who treat pigs? Therefore, he could only invite two masters to come out. Of course, I didn't let them do it often, just a demonstration in the early stage. In the future, it was the group of disciples who were the least angry under their name to do this......

Both of them have accepted hundreds of disciples separately, but not everyone has learned medical skills well. Someone is very talented, learns well and quickly, and will definitely become a good doctor in the future. There are also those who learn very poorly, and they may be eliminated in the future and cannot see a doctor.

With such a good condition, Marin felt that it was a pity to be eliminated, so it was better to arrange to help the serfs who raised pigs to castrate the pigs......

So much so that Marin later divided the more than 200 disciples of Morrigan and Battle into three classes—the first class, which was the best in medical skills, and they would treat people later; The second level, for the general learners, they later treat cattle and horses and become veterinarians; The third level, the worst learned, is not even a veterinarian, only half a veterinarian, who is responsible for castrating pigs and, of course, for treating pigs. I really couldn't figure it out, so I went to a second-level veterinarian to help......

In this way, Marin built more than 3,000 independent single-room pigstys on his own estate in East Friesland (more pigs in the pen will consume physical strength to fight, and there is only one pig in the pen, so you can only sleep more if you have nothing to do), and raised more than 3,000 pigs. And Morrigan and Battle, too, selected the 30 most unpromising disciples, and in the future, they served as low-level veterinarians for castrating pigs and treating pigs......
