Xujiazhuang.

"Fang Chengxiu, Fang Yizhi came to visit?"

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Xu Yuan was slightly stunned and quite surprised.

There is no need to introduce Fang Chengxiu, but Fang Yizhi is a historical celebrity, the word is dense, he is one of the four sons of the Fushe, he has left many records in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he is quite talented, he is a person who has gone through ups and downs in his life, advanced thinking, and has always been loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but overall, it is also a rather tragic character.

Of course, the most attractive thing about Fang Yizhi and what interests Xu Yuan the most is that he is not a pure Confucian student of liberal arts, but he is very interested in physics, very researched, and wrote the book "Physics Knowledge" for future generations.

In addition, he has studied literature, history, philosophy, geography, medicine and other fields, and has a family history, learning from others, advocating the combination of Chinese and Western, and the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

He is an academic, very open-minded, and very knowledgeable scholar.

However, Fang Yizhi, who came to visit today, is only 20 years old, and he is still a young rich second-generation son, relying on the remnants of his ancestors, and is living a rich literati life of "clothed clothes, decorated with donkey rides, singing and blowing, and being idle and elegant".

"Invite them into the village, treat them as honored guests, let them wait in the drawing-room, and I will see them at once." Xu Yuan ordered.

"Yes, owner."

……

A moment later.

Inside the main castle living room.

Sitting on the sofa chair, Fang Chengxiu and Fang Yizhi, who were sipping high-quality tea before the rain, saw the strange dress of walking into the living room, wearing short clothes and tight pants and short hair, but with a handsome face, fine eyes, dragon and tiger steps, with a special superior temperament, and at the same time it made people feel close and easy-going, not particularly majestic and unpredictable Xu Zhuang owner - Xu Yuanhou.

"Dare to ask, but is it the owner of Xu Zhuang?" Fang Yizhi immediately got up, bowed, and asked respectfully.

"Virtuous son-in-law, good virtuous son-in-law, I can be regarded as seeing you, I wonder how the little girl Qingyan has been recently?" Fang Chengxiu also stood up, shouting excitedly, and couldn't wait to pull the relationship closer.

"It's Xu Yuan down there."

Xu Yuan arched his hand at them, looked at Fang Yizhi first, and said, "Presumably, Your Excellency should be the well-informed brother of Fang Mi?" ”

Then he turned to Fang Chengxiu and said: "The son-in-law has seen his father-in-law, he has been busy with mundane affairs recently, and he has not yet visited with gifts, I hope to forgive my sins, if my father-in-law misses Qingyan, I will order someone to call her over, get together with my father-in-law, and understand the feelings of longing, as for the secret brother......"

Xu Yuan looked at Fang Yizhi again and said, "If you are interested in Xu's manor, I am willing to act as a guide and take Brother Mi to visit." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, Qingyan can see you at any time, don't be in a hurry, you can take the old man to visit together, your manor, many people can't enter if they want to."

Fang Chengxiu said with a thick old face, the purpose of his coming over was to visit his daughter, just to meet this cheap son-in-law.

"The guest is as he pleases, and it is better to be respectful than to obey his orders."

Fang Yizhi arched his hand, he felt that this Xu Zhuang master was in a hurry, straight to the point, and was a resolute and resolute character.

……

Due to the late day.

In addition to the sensitive areas that cannot be visited by outsiders at will, Xu Yuan took the two of them to the farm in the mountain behind the manor, and took them to see the special cattle farm, pig farm and chicken farm.

In particular, the more than 300 big cows brought from modern society produce an average of 30 liters of milk per day, which is nearly 10,000 liters a day, except for a small number of which will be processed into milk powder, and most of them will be drunk by the villagers.

Xu Yuan also gave them the benefits of drinking milk.

"Milk is rich in protein, easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body, drink more milk, can increase the body's resistance, reduce illness, can also supplement calcium is conducive to growth and development, as well as nourishing beauty, prolonging the effect of life, bringing benefits are very many, I have a statistic in the village, where 6 to 10-year-old children, continue to drink milk for more than two years, the average height is three inches taller than the children outside the village, the weight is five pounds more, less sick, the number of early deaths is zero, the effect is very good."

"How amazing is milk?"

Fang Yizhi was taken aback: "What Brother Xu said is true? ”

Fang Chengxiu was also moved, and asked: "Can this old man drink milk, can it really prolong his life?" ”

"Of course, it's all backed up by data."

Xu Yuan smiled and said: "Imagine the newborn baby, and the newborn calf, the digestion is weak, can not eat other food, can only feed on breast milk, if the breast milk does not contain all the nutrients needed, how can the baby grow up, how can the calf grow strong?" Milk is the most nutritious thing in the world, and no food can compare to it. ”

"It makes sense."

Fang Yizhi nodded, even if he understood it according to common sense, he felt that it was indeed very reasonable.

Fang Chengxiu rolled his eyes, and he decided to drink milk for a while to see if it had any effect.

Walk into a pig farm.

Seeing that the pigsty is divided into a number of areas, each area has different breeds of pigs (different breeds, different resistance, can avoid the outbreak of the epidemic all hit), even the black fangs of the fierce wild boars, all add up to four or five thousand heads, the sound of chirping is endless.

"Brother Xu, you have so many pigs in your village, how much pig food do you have to eat a day? I saw that some pig food, in addition to corn, there is also some boiled wheat, now that food is scarce, people do not eat enough food, why take out such a good grain to feed pigs? ”

Fang Yizhi asked his question, feeling that he really couldn't understand.

If the food in these pigs is used to help the victims, I don't know how many people can be saved?

"These are just last year's can't be eaten, the remaining old grain, the taste is not very good, either used to make wine, or used for feed, will not be accumulated for a long time, generally used up within two years, I know that there are many landlords in the granary, not only three years of old grain, even five years, ten years of stored grain, has long been rotten and spoiled can not be eaten, completely wasted."

"If you take it to raise pigs, about three catties of grain, you can exchange for 1 catty of pork, but this catty of pork has energy, about equivalent to two catties of grain, that is, with old grain for pork, the actual loss is only one-third, and the nutritional value of pork is higher, eating can not only reduce food consumption, but also make people more powerful, can significantly improve work efficiency, on the whole, eating meat is not a loss, the truth is the same as a large amount of oil squeezing in the village, increasing the consumption of edible oil, we produce 1 catty of oil, can also reduce 2 catties of food consumption, Because the oil is also high in nutrients. ”

"In fact, although Xujiazhuang only grows more than 3,000 acres of wheat and more than 3,000 acres of rice every year, harvesting about 70,000 stone of rice and wheat (1 stone = 125 catties), but Xujiazhuang tens of thousands of mouths, only consumes about 30,000 stones, only half of the ration consumption of the people outside, the reason why this is the case, is the intake of meat, eggs, milk, oil, and vegetables, which reduces the consumption of rations by half, and the nutrition is more balanced.

"Pregnant women have a difficult birth less than one hundred?"

Fang Yizhi was extremely shocked, his face was incredulous, how could this, how could this be? He knows a little about medicine, and knows that in any place in the Ming Dynasty, the dystocia rate of pregnant women is as little as one tenth, and as much as three tenths, and the probability of pregnant women in some areas encountering the ghost gate is as high as half, and it is very common to have one corpse and two lives.

But in this Xujiazhuang, the probability of pregnant women suffering from dystocia is as low as less than 1%, and nine out of ten can be safe for mothers and children.

What does that mean?

Fang Yizhi couldn't think of a suitable evaluation to describe this kind of achievement for the time being, in short, this is something that no one has ever done since ancient times, even the gods and Buddhas in the sky can't do such a miracle.

Of course, he also had doubts, thinking that Xu Yuan was making it up blindly and had no real evidence, but seeing his high-spirited and confident look, he chose to believe it after all.

Finally visit the inside of the chicken farm.

Seeing the tens of thousands of white-flowered guinea fowl in the chicken coop, the happy eating.

It is also known that the maturity period of this breed of chickens is only 70 days, and the hens have an average of one egg per day, and produce more than 360 eggs a year, which can continuously provide eggs as a highly nutritious food.

Fang Yizhi, who had already been shocked and numb, didn't know what to say, but he finally understood why the male Zhuang Ding he saw in Xujiazhuang was generally tall and strong, and he was powerful; Women are round, plump, beautiful and healthy; The children are all tiger-headed, obviously only three years old, but they are stronger than the six-year-old children outside, and their eyes are smart, revealing stronger intelligence.

Strengthen the country and strengthen the species.

If you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the species!

Firmly remembering what Xu Yuan said, these earth-shattering words in his mind were also like a flash of inspiration, making him feel like he had caught something.

As for the cheap father-in-law Fang Chengxiu, he was completely attracted by the wonderful money of breeding guinea fowl, and immediately asked for 1,000 guinea fowl seedlings, and also wanted to go back to build a chicken farm.
