Chapter 68: Pulling Chickens to Help? We haven't heard of it!
Queen Ma looked at Li Jin and asked:
"What I want to ask is, how did you come up with such a chicken?"
"Usually, the chickens at home are not always in the chicken pen, and there are four or five chickens in captivity."
"Master Li, how did you come up with the idea of raising chickens like this?"
Li Jin rubbed his chin lightly when he heard this, and explained:
"This is to look at the problem from the essence."
"What is the purpose of people raising chickens? Chicken and eggs. ”
"In this case, how to raise more chickens in less time and at a lower cost is the key to the problem."
"The food that chickens eat will eventually be converted to chicken, so in order to get more chicken and make the chickens grow faster, you need to limit the movement of these chickens."
Zhu Biao asked out loud at this time:
Why is that? If you want your chicken to grow healthily, shouldn't you let it move around more? ”
Since ancient times, exercise can strengthen the body, which is common knowledge that Chinese people know.
As a result, it is really strange that Li Jin has done the opposite.
Li Jin smiled slightly and said:
"This official believes that all things follow the conservation of energy."
"Chickens eat food to grow meat, and this is because the energy in the food is transferred to the chicken."
"And if the chicken moves, it consumes energy."
"Therefore, in order for the chickens to grow faster, we need to let these chickens eat more and let these chickens exercise less."
"Between this increase and decrease, this is the reason why these farmed chickens can grow rapidly."
"That's why this official would think of such a wonderful breeding method, just use your brains more."
"Conservation of energy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard the new term again, was still confused and puzzled.
Is meat also energy? And all the wheat and rice eaten are energy?
How can food that can be seen and touched be energy?
Although he wanted to refute Li Jin, according to Li Jin's method, he really realized the birth of chickens.
He Zhu Yuanzhang has seen the story of pulling seedlings to help them grow, but he has never heard the allusion of pulling chickens to help them grow.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, but finally didn't speak.
After all, facts speak louder than words, and in the face of facts, no matter how you explain them, they pale in comparison.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"The talent of adults is really thousands of times better than villains, and villains really admire adults."
Chicken farm owners don't miss every opportunity to pat themselves on the back.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph, it's just some crooked ways."
"As a county order, it is your business to be the master of the people and let the people live a better life."
Queen Ma gently pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to say a few words.
Even Zhu Biao stood there with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to say.
The owner of the chicken farm, who was still smiling, heard that Zhu Yuanzhang dared to say bad things about Li Jin, his face suddenly became pale, and he said:
"Joke, our family has done a lot for the people, and how much do you know."
"Just this one chicken farm can bring benefits to how many people, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
"I, Hu, will never allow you to insult my family."
Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully:
"You are the owner of the chicken farm, and you are the same as your family, of course you will say so."
"In the end, it is you who will benefit, what do you have to do with the people?"
Seeing this, the boss was anxious and said:
"Who said it didn't matter?"
"My chicken farm alone employs hundreds of people, and the monthly salary of these hundreds of people is not less than five taels of silver."
"If you are diligent, you can earn ten taels of silver, if it weren't for adults, they would be able to have such a life?"
"I'm just a chicken farm, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Shanghu County, but there is more than one chicken farm."
"There are several chicken farms of this magnitude alone."
"There are no less than a thousand people they support, and if it weren't for adults, how could these thousands of people have such a good life?"
"Five taels of silver a month?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he was a little incredulous.
Just by helping the boss raise chickens here, you can get so much silver, how is this possible?
You must know that the current salary of the 7-grade officials in the imperial court is only six stones of grain a month, and so much grain is the income of the official's family.
If it is really as the boss said, every person who works here can get so much silver, then if there are two people in the family who work here, it will be twice the salary of the seven-grade official.
This... It's incredible.
"Of course, this is still the salary set by our adults themselves."
The boss raised his head proudly and said:
"If you don't believe it, you can just go and ask, is there anyone in my chicken farm who earns less than five taels of silver?"
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it, but looking at what the boss said, he was a little suspicious.
Queen Ma was also next to Zhu Yuanzhang at the moment, and said in a low voice:
"This kind of thing, this boss shouldn't dare to speak, so it seems that this chicken farm is really amazing."
"If there are thousands of people to feed on, that's a thousand families."
"And Shanghu County must not only have chicken farms, but also duck farms, goose farms and so on."
"This Li Jin is really a capable person, just a simple idea can benefit tens of thousands of people, it's amazing."
Queen Ma looked at Li Jin's gaze with even more appreciation, after all, an official who can lead the people to make money is a good official.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
Although Li Jin is still a personnel person to do these things, Li Jin is a corrupt official, but it is like a thorn in Zhu Yuanzhang's throat, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Li Jin saw Queen Ma's appreciative gaze, smiled slightly and said:
"It's nothing, it's just a triumph."
"In fact, the official thinks that the most valuable ones in this chicken farm are those incubators."
"Oh? Why did Master Li say this? ”
Zhu Biao said that although the incubator is also very precious, it is still slightly inferior to this method of raising chickens.
"Is there anything else that can't be said about this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were also attracted by Li Jin, for these coffins in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that except for the crystals inside, after all, everything else was really worthless.
He didn't expect Li Jin to value these coffins so much, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is there something in this?
Li Jin looked at everyone's eyes, casually walked up to a coffin and said:
"These things are just the first version, and their purpose is to hatch eggs."
"But it's not called an incubator, it's called an incubator."
"Its main function is to keep warm, to keep the surrounding temperature within a suitable temperature."
"Where else can you put them and use them?"
"Incubator?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, he didn't understand what was the difference between an incubator and an incubator?
In his opinion, these two things are the same box, and there is nothing different except for the different names.
As for their role, nature is incubation.
"What else can you do besides hatching chickens, and of course you can hatch ducks?"
"Let's see you're just playing tricks!"
Li Jin saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had no knowledge, his face was full of disgust, and then he gently spit out two words in his mouth.
But these two words made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces change greatly, and they looked at Li Jin in disbelief, not believing that what Li Jin said was true.
