Chapter 546: The Rabbit Project

"Makes sense." Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, the Hu people had been drinking cow and goat milk for generations, and they knew more than the Zhao people.

Zhao people can't get it out, it doesn't mean that Hu people can't get it. The milk wine was made by the Hu people, so it is not impossible to make something else.

"Summons the order, let Handan inform all the Rong Di captives. As long as someone can increase the shelf life of milk and milk products to more than three months, the whole family will be exempted from the status of slaves and given the title of fifth degree. Increase the shelf life to more than six months, exempt the whole family from slave status, and give the ninth rank of knighthood. ”

"You're good, if someone can make it, you'll be rewarded too." Zhao Kuo said to Zhao He with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao He leaned over and said.

"By the way, why are there a bunch of donkeys, mules, and deer outside?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"This ...... Mainly for meat, donkey meat and venison are better than beef. As for mules, if there are donkeys and horses, they will naturally give birth to mules. Mules run fast, have strong endurance, are very suitable for pulling carts, and can also replace ploughing cattle when there is a shortage of ploughing cattle, and we have a ranch that specializes in raising mules. But this thing can't be fertile, so it's not large. Zhao He said with some embarrassment.

You can do it for the sake of eating meat, but you can't put it on the table.

But Zhao He had to say, because a lot of these donkey meat and venison were supplied to the palace, if he didn't say it, Zhao Kuo would definitely blame him when he thought about it in the future.

"Oh, the king remembers, that the donkey meat and venison in the king's palace were brought from you." Zhao Kuo suddenly realized.

In fact, Zhao Guo's original plan did not include donkeys, deer and mules, but after Zhao Bao ate venison, he found that the venison was very tasty, so he let people raise donkeys and deer.

Anyway, they all eat grass, cattle and sheep can be raised, donkeys and deer can be raised.

Zhao He breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to think about it, and if he didn't think about it, he would definitely be reprimanded.

Although he didn't steal food either......

Seeing the donkey and the deer, Zhao Kuo suddenly remembered a kind of meat in his heart, and turned his head to look at Zhao He, "Have you ever raised rabbits?" ”

He also suddenly remembered that if it was just to popularize meat, there was nothing more suitable than rabbits, and the reproduction rate of this thing was exponential, throwing cattle and sheep a few streets.

Whether it is a farm or a retail farmer, or even if you throw two rabbits, one male and one female, to a place where there are no natural predators, you can develop into a group after a few years.

"Nope." Zhao He shook his head, this thing can also be farmed?

Most people know that the six animals are pigs, dogs, chickens, horses, cows, and sheep, and few people know that the six beasts refer to elk, deer, bear, deer, wild pig, and rabbit.

The so-called six beasts are beasts that people can often catch when hunting, but there is no artificial domestication.

Of course, in the Warring States Period, rabbits were basically bred in the gardens and gardens of various countries, but this free-range method was completely different from the way of raising cattle and sheep, and there was no difference from the wild ones.

In Zhao He's subconscious, rabbits cannot be raised like cattle and sheep.

"Try it, if this thing is raised, it is still very promising, in the future, the people of my Zhao Kingdom can eat meat, maybe you will have to rely on this thing, and then you may be called the rabbit king by the people, and it will be famous for a hundred years." Zhao Kuo patted Zhao He's shoulder.

I should have thought of it a long time ago, raising rabbits is much more cost-effective than raising others, there are so many empty spaces in Zhao Kingdom, and there is still a shortage of rabbit grass?

It is true that rabbit meat is not delicious, and it is easy to get sick and not easy to breed, but as long as it is raised well, the meat production will definitely surpass that of other livestock and poultry.

Besides, now Zhao Guo hasn't even solved the problem of three meals a day, and most people still have two meals a day, and they still care if his rabbit meat is delicious or not?

Is it meat?

Zhao Kuo has already made up his mind that after returning to Handan, he will do a good job in rabbit breeding, and this thing is still very promising.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhao He hurriedly said, what kind of rabbit king, he doesn't dare to call the king.

Besides, raising rabbits or something, it's unreliable when you hear it, and if it's reliable, someone would have done it before.

"I'll send a letter to Handan." Zhao Kuo thought about it, took back the letter that had not been sent out just now, and added a few sentences to the back, asking Handan to see if he could find a few people who could raise rabbits.

Even if you haven't raised rabbits, you can understand some rabbit habits.

"I will let Handan collect talents, and you are responsible for finding some rabbits, there are many on the grassland." Zhao Kuo said, just do it, this matter can't be delayed, and there will be no deadline if it is delayed.

"No." Zhao He had no way to refuse, so he could only say with a bitter face, completely unaware that a big gift had fallen on his head.

Later generations remembered him, not because of anything else, but because he raised countless rabbits and made every Zhao person eat meat.

"Father, I'm hungry." At this time, Xiao Ponu pulled Zhao Kuo's sleeve and said.

"It's all to blame, I almost forgot." Zhao He hurriedly said, thanks to Xiao Ponu's reminder, it's better to eat, and he can't let Zhao Kuo continue to watch, just watch it for a while, and so many things will come out, if he sees it from the beginning to the end, he will not be exhausted to death.

"King, let's rest for a while and eat next to us." Zhao He stretched out his hand and said.

"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded, turned around and walked outside.

After eating chickens, ducks and geese in Shangdang, and coming to the Hetao, it is natural to taste donkeys and deer.

There were many people accompanying him, so Zhao He specially picked two relatively large donkeys and deer, and roasted them on the fire, eating them while roasting.

Donkey meat and venison are very tender, and you don't need to put a lot of toppings, so it's very tasty with a little salt. Everyone enjoyed eating.

"Hahaha, only the ministers have eaten it, and they haven't eaten it until they see them tomorrow, so I have to be angry with him." Feng Qujian said excitedly while eating meat while imagining Huang Shigong's angry expression.

Perhaps because he did not experience the great changes in the country and family as in history, Feng Quji, who had a smooth journey, still retained a bit of innocence, even in front of Zhao Kuo.

This is also what Zhao Kuo appreciates the most.

"Huang Shigong didn't care about begging on the side of the road back then, do you think he will envy you for eating this thing?" Zhao Kuo was angry and glanced at Feng Quji.

"......" Feng Qujian was stunned for a moment, as if this was really the reason. Even the donkey meat in his hand was not fragrant, and after a while, he looked at Zhao Kuo, "King, what should I do?" ”

"You packed a portion of venison and donkey meat and brought it to him, and he said it was very delicious, but he wasn't there when he ate it, so he brought it to him, and he was moved, so he didn't bully you a few times, and you didn't earn it back?" Zhao Kuo said.

"How could I be bullied by him? He also took advantage of his age. Feng Qu muttered, but still cut the donkey meat and venison and put them in the box.

Three servings.
