After watching the horse, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came to a familiar place, the cowshed, and his feelings about the cow and the cowshed were very complicated.

The cowshed was obviously not the small wooden and thatched hut he used to herd cattle as a child, but a large shed, a fence, a long trough, a semi-open sports field, and many spare pens.

"Your Majesty, when the cattle are raised, there is more manure in the soil, so change the place for the cows, and the soil here is cleared out for fertilizer.

Due to the large number, to avoid the discomfort of the calves caused by the crowding of large and small cattle, they will be kept separately, and the lactating ones will be with the cows.

Adopt a mixture of coarse and concentrate feed, select those with more milk or more meat, and then classify and feed, so as to ......"

It takes a long time for the governor to introduce the breeding of beef cattle and dairy cows because there are no foreign breeds of dairy cows.

When an average cow is lactating, the milk production in one day is not as good as that of two goats.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, and bowed his head: "Xiaqiu Village not only cultivates crop seeds for Daming, but also grows livestock, with more investment and less return." How are the cattle on the grassland compared to the cattle in the village? ”

"It's not much worse, if the Yi people send black and white cows, or red and white cows during foreign trade, they can shorten the breeding years of dairy cows.

It is best to be a bull, a bull can be matched with many cows, with a bull of that suit with a yellow cow, it is possible to come out with a new cow with flowers. ”

According to Hanhan's teaching, the chief went to find the cows outside, no matter how they brought them, the life was worth it.

"It's not easy for ships to transport live animals, especially further afield." Zhu Yuanzhang took into account the difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the milk production of such cows is five to ten times that of ordinary oxen, and the milk can be made into a lot of delicious food.

In the absence of lactose intolerance, the person who drinks it is good for the body.

The people of Xiaqiu Village drink milk every day, but there is little milk, and they basically drink goat's milk.

The cattle species brought in from outside also produce a lot of meat, and they are not expected to farm the land, and after they are raised, they are killed and eaten for meat.

A thousand yuan of breeding cattle is not expensive, if there are a hundred, it is nothing more than 100,000 yuan. ”

The governor clarified the benefits and saved his own time for training, otherwise it is estimated that he would have to cultivate for many years.

He also told Zhu Yuanzhang that drinking milk is not easy to get sick, drinking milk since childhood, people can grow taller, and dairy products can enrich the lives of the people......

"Good! Let them look for the oxen, and a bull with flowers will come and give a thousand yuan, and the goods will arrive. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was tempted and had decided to give milk to the people in the palace, especially his children.

The people of the Ming Dynasty will have more meat to eat and more milk to drink in the future, and a thousand yuan is not expensive, so far away to be transported alive, and a batch of dead people will die on the road, and they have to be fed.

After seeing the cattle, turn your head to the greenhouse, the village greenhouse is not demolished, and it is used to raise seedlings, no matter what you plant, you can be one step ahead of others.

There are some openings in the greenhouse, and it is too hot inside, so we have to keep it ventilated.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the cattle outside, you can also bring sheep, horses and other livestock. In addition, our trade with the Western Regions has brought many species.

For example, grapes, carrots, cucumbers, etc., but there are still those that have not been brought, and they have them, round and similar to the taste of green onions.

It has a high yield, can be stored for a long time in winter, has a spicy taste, and is sweet to eat when cooked. ”

The lieutenant once again asked Zhu Yuanzhang for things, anyway, overseas trade, as long as he gave enough benefits, Yiren would naturally find a way to send things to Daming.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the crops in the greenhouse: "This is good, if Daming doesn't have it now, we will collect it at a high price, the crops are easy to carry, one hundred pounds, I think they are willing." ”

The officials followed suit, and they admitted that Xiaqiu Village did have something unique about breeding and planting.

It's not just a matter of money, things that others can't think of, Xiaqiu Village does it directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the silage pond again, and there was also one in the palace, and the structure had not changed.

The lieutenant almost kept saying, while His Majesty was coming, there was something practical in front of him, and he hurriedly told His Majesty more.

"Where are the officials of Xuancheng County?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are here, and the ministers are following behind!"

The four chief officials of Li Zhixian came up, and the scribes didn't show up, they just came.

"Zhu Lichang said a lot, I'm tired, you wait for us to explain, where is the front?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the chief was dry-mouthed, and he couldn't bear it, and for a moment he thought that officials always ran here, so they wouldn't just eat, right?

The four officials looked at each other, and Li Zhixian continued to step forward: "Your Majesty, the front is a bamboo rat breeding area, please come with me." ”

When Li Zhixian said, 'Please come with me,' his chest was straightened, his head was raised, and his eyes were bright.

"Xiaqiu Village bamboo rat breeding for three years, the meat of the bamboo rat is delicious, the rat meat is nourishing and invigorating, nourishing yin and removing heat, phlegm and detoxification.

They mostly live in bamboo forests, dig holes and live, do not like heat, do not tolerate extreme cold, usually sleep during the day and come out at night.

Xiaqiu Village was the first to adopt cage culture, and then with the increase of the number, masonry and cement rooms were built.

One room and three points, for the mating area, feeding area, breeding area......

The skin of the bamboo rat can be used to make leather boots, leather clothing, fur, easy to eliminate nitrate, easy to dye, and the fur is ......

In addition, the whiskers of bamboo rats are a good material for making brush hairs, which are not inferior to the wolf hair of weasels.

The oil of bamboo rat can detoxify and drain pus, build muscle and relieve pain. In the treatment of burns, it is better than badger oil.

Now that the temperature is high, the bamboo rats hide in a shady place with a sink next to it to cool down, and they can usually give birth eight times a year......"

Li Zhixian walked while introducing everyone, and when he arrived at the bamboo rat breeding area, he explained from all aspects.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened with great satisfaction: "Yes, it seems that you didn't understand the situation in Xiaqiu Village in vain, go to eat first, and others will talk about it after the meal." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang got a hint that the meal was ready, and he happened to be hungry, so he would eat first and stay for two days! Not busy for a while.

He was in a good mood and came over temporarily, and Li Zhixian and the others obviously wouldn't know in advance.

He suddenly asked them to come forward to explain, this county is first familiar with the terrain, and he also understands the affairs of Xiaqiu Village.

If you can talk about bamboo rats, I believe that you will not be wrong when talking about the big animals before.

The magistrate should be like this, and whoever doesn't know anything should be killed!

Everyone walked towards the canteen, the officials of Xuancheng County were not afraid, it turned out that His Majesty was asking about these things? Simple!

The officials were relieved, and the officials who came with them every time were also eager to try, and they would too.

Once you come back, you will inevitably have to go around the village, look at each place, ask questions, and then help to do some work.

I wonder if Your Majesty will ask yourself? Just ask! Just ask!

For lunch, there are bamboo rat meat, braised meat, plus other dishes, a total of 16 dishes.

In the meal sharing system, there are not so many small tables, so one person sits at a large table, and the villagers and guards sit together, and then the table is not enough.

The air in the large canteen is cleared in advance, the concrete floor is brushed with water, and there is an ice basin in the corner, so that the sunlight outside can only shine through the windows.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others sat in the north and faced south, just sitting in the shade, not under the window in the south.
