In fact, Marin is quite helpless right now. Because, he felt that the food was a little too much. What is the concept of food that can feed seven or eight million people? In that year, there were about 12 million people in the entire German region. The Kingdom of France, the most populous country in Western Europe, has more than 15 million people.

If food production doubles, it will be more than enough to feed so many people in France, let alone the North Sea country with more than 2 million people? I took a lot of grain to make wine in time, which is still a lot......

In this era, I am afraid that there is only one monarch in the world, Marin, who is worried about too much food. Even the Ming Empire, whose grain output far exceeded that of Europe, did not dare to be so arrogant. Because, the population of the Ming Empire was too large, and the consumption was also large, which offset the high yield of grain. Of course, the high yield of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the level after the use of volcanic ash, at most higher. Where is it like Beihai Country, which uses all three fertilizers, the yield per mu is as high as five or six hundred pounds. This level was only reached in the Ming Dynasty by the most fertile rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the yield per mu of rice is always higher than that of wheat, and the yield per mu in the north of the Ming Dynasty is only two or three hundred catties, which is only better than the effect of volcanic ash feed.

Of course, Marin's volcanic ash fertilizer is not just volcanic ash, it is also mixed with some potassium salt and phosphate fertilizer, so the effect is much better than ordinary volcanic ash. Otherwise, the general volcanic ash will generally not achieve the effect of 200 pounds per mu, and it will be 100 pounds or dozens of pounds. But the yield per mu is much stronger than not using fertilizer.

Because of the abundance of food, Marin has decided to gradually reduce the amount of grass bran in the "Kohler bread". Even, the wheat bran is sifted out when the flour is milled, and then used as feed for pigs.

Now, the country in Beihai has Taihu pigs that breed super fast. When the time comes, pig pen breeding will be promoted in various farms, so that there will be no shortage of meat in Beihai country.

At present, because Taihu pigs have begun to be cultivated on a large scale, the families of the great nobles of the Aurich Palace and the city of Aurich have fully replaced the original European local pork with the pork of Taihu pigs.

As for why? Because the pork of Taihu pig is more delicate, more suitable for cooking, and more oily and watery......

Pork native to Europe, a bit of firewood, has a bad taste. As a result, most of the pork in Europe is made into cured meats, bacon and ham. Such a coarse food hides the shortcomings of the poor taste of European pork. Taihu pig does not have this shortcoming, the taste is delicate, and the fat rate is high, which is very popular with people.

This is one of the best pig breeds in China, although it has a good taste, but it has a lot of fat. This is a disadvantage in later generations, but in this era of general shortage of oil and water, it is an out-and-out super advantage.

In fact, the taste of pork in Taihu Pig is better than the lean pork that Ma Lin bought before crossing in his previous life. The kind of white pig introduced from Europe and the United States with a large body size and a high lean meat rate does not have the aroma of black pork at all when made into braised pork. Otherwise, Ding Shi of Neteasy would not have specifically raised black pigs.

The braised pork made of black pork has an excellent taste and a lot of oil and water. A rich and noble person like Ma Lin may not be accustomed to eating fatty meat, but every time the braised pork made of Taihu pig and pork is brought into the barracks, the soldiers always quickly grab the fat first, followed by the fat and thin pieces of meat, and finally choose the lean meat......

There is no way, these days, except for the nobles, those soldiers from civilian backgrounds are generally very short of oil and water. When I met the Taihu pig with a lot of oil and water, I naturally grabbed it.

In particular, the army of the North Sea State has high-intensity physical training every day, and the energy consumption is large. So, fatty meat is especially popular in the barracks.

But the nobles in the city, because they don't run at least 5 kilometers a day like the soldiers, have little physical exertion. Therefore, many people eat Taihu pork, and as a result, their stomachs start to grow.

If the civil official has a big belly, Marin doesn't think anything. But many generals also have big bellies, and Marin is not happy. In this way, how will you lead troops to fight in the future?

Then, Marin ordered that a football match be organized among the officers, so that those middle-aged officers would play in person, and they would stay up for 90 minutes. And after 90 minutes of kicking, even if you often paddle and scatter on the field, the physical exertion is huge. In this way, the danger of middle-aged officers being out of shape was avoided.

As for the civil officials, Marin made badminton balls for them, and let them play badminton and move their bodies when they have nothing to do. Originally, Marin was planning to promote table tennis. It's a pity that table tennis is too difficult to make, and Marin can't make it, so he has to make a relatively simple badminton.

Badminton has very low requirements for the court, and you can play in the open space in front of the house and behind the house. As a result, the sport quickly became popular. Not only is it popular among civil officials, but there are also many people among military generals who like to fight.

But Marin believes that generals need to know how to cooperate and tactics. Therefore, football is more suitable for military generals. Then, he forced all generals to play football. Only the families of civil officials and military generals are allowed to play badminton, a literati sport.

Moreover, military generals who do not play football well will be punished. For example, the whole team must sing a song in public. If you can't sing, you will be punished with barking dogs......

How many of these big guys are good at singing? It's all the scene of the car accident when it's sung, which makes people laugh. Therefore, ordinary people are not willing to lose easily. Otherwise, he will be disgraced in front of all the soldiers. If you are often embarrassed in public, how will you bring the team in the future?

With this kind of shame, these generals usually play football, and they prefer to use their brains to engage in tactics, so as not to lose the bottom face and be ugly. Especially those middle-aged generals, in order not to be ashamed of victory, they can be described as racking their brains and tactics one after another. And it is precisely with this habit that they often like to think about tactics and defeat their opponents in the most trouble-free way in future wars.

In addition to the great development of the pig industry, the hatching rate of chickens, ducks and geese has been greatly improved because of the emergence of kang houses in Beihai.

Needless to say, because the Beihai country promotes civilian education, there is a huge demand for quill pens. As a result, the goose industry has developed rapidly in the North Sea Kingdom. In addition, in addition to the large feathers that can be used as quills, the smaller feathers can also be used as feathers for badminton balls or arrow feathers. Therefore, the goose farming industry is a promising gold industry.

As for chicken and duck farming, it is an important industry that provides poultry eggs. In order to get enough eggs, Ma Lin specially asked people to introduce Luhua chickens with a high egg production rate from the Ming Dynasty, and also introduced Gaoyou ducks, which are good at laying double yolk eggs.

Needless to say, eggs must be needed for fresh eggs to supply the market. The duck eggs produced by Gaoyou duck are naturally used to marinate salted duck eggs. Ma Lin's later generations liked to drink porridge and eat salted duck eggs in the morning, and the feeling of a lot of butter flowing out of the salted duck eggs was very refreshing when the chopsticks were pulled......
