Chapter 997 Chang'an Pig? Don't Even Think That! There Is Such a Treasure in the Land Outside of Zhou!
Liu Ji raised his neck and said very proudly: "I am humbled to say that Lord Chang'an invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, and he personally herded the hogs and took care of them for several years regardless of the stench."
"Finally something will be gained!"
Liu Ji did not answer Lu Buwei's questions one by one, but gave an answer that was irrefutable.
Long before Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng lured Ying Chengxuan to delve into the treatment of pigs, Ying Chengxu had already collected the raw materials for treating dung with golden juice and purchased high-quality pigs from all over the world, starting the preliminary preparations for cultivating new pigs.
Today, Ying Chengxuan's research on pig control has been going on for six years, and four years have passed since the construction of the pig control institute, which swallowed up the Chang'an Junfu's huge money and manpower.
Isn't it normal to have such results?
The preliminary research work on the technique of treating excrement with golden juice only lasted for three years!
Han Cang laughed heartily: "Good! Good! Very good!"
"This pig is worthy of Chang'an Lord's years of study!"
"Chang'an Jun has spent so much effort on research, and it should be like this!"
"Come on, come on, let me take a look!"
Han Cang approached Ruyun like a crazy man, pinched Ruyun's fat body like a swimming ring, and asked with gleaming eyes: "How heavy is Ruyun?"
Liu Ji introduced: "We just weighed it yesterday and Ruyun weighed 614 kilograms (now 307 kilograms)."
"But Ruyun is a pig used for breeding, and the weight of Ruyun should not be considered as the weight of meat pigs."
"Ordinary farm families eat leeks, but Wen Yin, who was a sibling like Ru Yun, weighed 456 kilograms (now 228 kilograms) when she turned one year old. After that, although Wen Yin continued to gain weight, the speed became slower and slower. "
"That's why, I humbly think that based on the calculation of the pigeon's annual growth, it weighs four hundred and thirty kilograms."
Hearing this, Lu Buwei, Li Si and other courtiers all began to breathe rapidly: "No wonder I saw that this pig is so strong. When the pig in Guanzhong of the Qin Dynasty matures, it can grow to three hundred kilograms (now 150 kilograms). Top grade, this Ruyun actually weighs six hundred and fourteen kilograms! One head is stronger than two!"
"It only takes one year to grow from a pig weighing several kilograms to a pig weighing more than 400 kilograms! The Guanzhong pig is not only smaller than this pig, but it also takes a year and a half to grow into a pig. This pig is so beautiful!"
"No wonder Mr. Fusu doesn't want to kill this pig. This pig is more than just a pig? It is also the foundation of our great Qin Dynasty!"
One by one, the courtiers stepped forward unconsciously, touching every place around Ruyun's body with their big hands. The mixed body odor and incense smell fiercely stimulated Ruyun's nasal cavity, causing Ruyun to whimper softly: "孭姧~哧~"
But no one cared about her pain and humiliation.
More and more big hands reached out to Ruyun, squeezing her fat, touching her body, and weighing her fat belly. Everyone's eyes were shining!
Just as the ministers were excited, Liu Ji opened the door of the next door and said with his right hand: "The people enclosed in this room are the sons of Ruyun. He will be six months old in a few days."
"The lightest one has reached 242 jins (now 121 jins), and the heaviest one has reached 280 jins (now 140 jins)."
Following Liu Ji's gesture, the officials turned their eyes to the next door and saw a group of young but already quite strong piglets making noises in the pen.
Han Cang, Lu Buwei and other important ministers were unable to walk because of the clouds, so the middle-level officials swarmed in next door and extended their hands to these young people.
These young pigs did not have Ying Fusu as their backer, and the officials' movements were much louder, causing many pigs to struggle and collide.
But among the people who can become mid-level and high-level officials in Great Qin, how many have never killed anyone on the battlefield?
Facing Zaizhu's struggle, Wang Ben directly grabbed Zaizhu's legs and lifted him up, and by the way, he felt its weight himself!
"Hiss~ The weight of this pig is at least 250 kilograms! The adult pig of Guanzhong is nothing more than this!"
"If there is a disaster, the meat of such a big pig can be harvested!"
"Expand it to the Qin Dynasty! Such good pigs must be extended to the Qin Dynasty! In this way, all the people of the Qin Dynasty will surely become richer and richer!"
Ruyun: Oh, my children! Oh, dear children! It's okay for you guys to play with your children, so why don't you let them go?
Ruyun wanted to struggle and cry, but he glanced at Liu Ji who was still holding a stick in his hand, and then at Ying Chengyu who was always standing not far away from him. Ruyun did not dare to struggle, and just wanted to use Tears awaken Ying Fusu's kindness.
Little master, don’t just watch them waste your forehead anymore!
It's a pity that the joys and sorrows of humans and pigs are not the same.
Ying Zheng also walked up to Ruyun, looked down at the plump Ruyun and laughed heartily: "Cai! Big color!"
"In the past, Fusu told me that he wanted to make the common people in the world have meat for their meals."
"I think this is just a child's nonsense!"
"However, today I saw Ruyun, and only then did I realize that my child's lies may turn out to be a prophecy!"
"With this pig in Da Qin, even if it cannot make every meal of Guizhou people in the world have meat, it can at least make it possible for Guizhou people in the world to eat a pound of meat every year!"
"My heart is very happy!"
Even ordinary people can eat a pound of meat every year! That’s a full pound of meat!
If Great Qin could really achieve this goal during Ying Zheng's reign, Ying Zheng would not dare to imagine how rich and powerful Great Qin could become!
Han Cang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! I thought this was not just as simple as allowing the world's leaders in Guizhou to eat a pound of meat every year."
"If the pig is big, the pig will leave a lot."
"Nowadays, our country in the Qin Dynasty uses gold juice to treat manure to fertilize the fields. Although the harvest is very wide, it is obviously limited by the gold juice."
"If all villages can raise this pig, the golden juice obtained every year can be used to treat manure. In this way, the yield per mu of field can be higher!"
The more he talked, the more excited Han Cang became: "There is enough food and meat, which is indeed a sign of prosperity!"
The ministers could no longer bear it, and they all excitedly bowed to Ying Zheng: "I congratulate the Great Qin! I congratulate the king!"
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao with satisfaction and said: "The day before yesterday, Chang'an Jun returned triumphantly, and he helped my Great Qin to destroy countries and expand territory. He has made great contributions."
"Now Chang'an Jun has presented this Chang'an pig for the prosperity of the country, which is even greater!"
"I think..."
Ying Chengjiao was immediately annoyed, and actually interrupted Ying Zheng and said: "Don't think about it first, your king."
"This pig is named Ruyun, why is it called Chang'an Pig by the king?!"
Chang'an plow, Ying Chengjiao can tolerate it, Chang'an paper, Ying Chengjiao can also tolerate it a little.
But Chang'an Pig? This Ying Chengjiao really can't stand it!
Whoever wants to leave a name in history by being linked to a shit and pig, take it, I don't lack this opportunity!
But the difference in cognition made Ying Zheng think that there was nothing wrong with "pig" at all, and said with a smile: "My brother is too indifferent to fame and fortune."
"My brother worked hard and spent a lot of money for this pig, and only then did he get a pig that benefits the world."
"This pig should be named after my brother, and let the world know!"
Liu Ji, Tan Tao and others also agreed: "Yes! This pig should be named Chang'an Pig!"
"Chang'an Jun paid so much money, manpower and energy for this pig, how can we not let the world know about it? Everyone knows it!"
"The previous Qin Wangzheng's fifteen-style furnace was not named Chang'an Jun. This time, Chang'an Jun must not refuse it again!"
Ying Chengjiao really had a hard time, so he could only ask from another angle: "Your Majesty and your colleagues think that this pig is excellent?"
Ying Zheng nodded as a matter of course and said: "This pig is naturally excellent!"
Ying Chengjiao shook his head and said: "However, in my opinion, this pig is just so-so, far from meeting my requirements!"
When these words came out, the king and his ministers of the Great Qin were stunned.
Han Cang even cried out: "With Ruyun's magic, it still failed to meet Chang'an Jun's requirements?"
"Chang'an Jun's requirements are too high!"
You said that more than 200,000 pigs are just scraps. Considering Ruyun's magic, we can endure it.
But this is a miraculous pig that weighs 1.5 times as much as Guanzhong pigs, has four times as many piglets as Guanzhong pigs, and grows up half a year shorter than Guanzhong pigs!
According to etiquette, such a miraculous pig should be reported to heaven and earth to thank heaven and earth for bestowing auspicious signs!
As a result, Chang'an Jun, you are still not satisfied? !
Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the pig's piglet number, weight, and especially its tolerance to dirty and smelly environments are just so-so."
"The pig-management yard has servants who take care of it every day to get such a weight, but if it is in the hands of ordinary people, it will definitely be reduced."
Ying Chengjiao's analysis made the ministers calm down and think again, and then they found that they... couldn't calm down at all!
Even if it was reduced, this pig was much better than Guanzhong pigs!
Ying Chengjiao continued, "And raising pigs is not something that can be done overnight. We need excellent breeding pigs as a foundation."
"According to the reports from the teachers I sent to various places, there are pigs in the far west. They take a long time to grow up. They are as small as dogs but very fat. There are also pigs in the far southeast. They are white and grow up quickly but are prone to premature death."
"If we can get these two pigs, I am confident that I can make the pigs of my Qin Dynasty grow 20% heavier, have 30% more fat, and further shorten the time it takes to grow them into adults!"
"Even if we fail, With these two pigs, the pig-management house will surely gain more in the next few years and breed better Daqin pigs. "
"Therefore, I think this pig is just a transition."
"In a few years, I will be able to get better pigs. How can this pig be qualified to be named Chang'an!"
Ying Chengjiao did not think about the pigs originating from distant regions such as South America. Ying Chengjiao only hoped that his alchemists could bring back Siamese pigs and Roman pigs for him.
If Roman pigs can be found, they can be bred with small-eared pigs in the South Vietnam region to produce the famous Napoleon pigs.
If Siamese pigs can be found again, there is a chance to breed large, early-maturing, and plump Berkshire pigs, which will greatly promote China's pig farming industry.
Even if these two pigs are not successfully found, with the introduction of more and more excellent pigs from other countries, Ying Chengjiao is confident that Daqin's pig farming industry will rise steadily!
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "My brother, are you saying that if we can find pigs from the far west and the far southeast, we can get even better pigs?"
Ying Chengjiao nodded solemnly, "As long as the pigs from the far west and the far southeast enter our Great Qin, all that's left is time!"
Ying Zheng's eyelids drooped slightly, with a terrifying light flashing in his eyes.
I originally thought that the land of the old Zhou was the richest land in the world, and the rest were just barren lands.
But now it seems that those barren lands in my eyes may also be of great use to the Great Qin!
No!
Now is not the time to think about these things!
Ying Zheng forced himself to suppress his crazy thoughts and changed the subject, saying, "This is not like your style of doing things."
"It seems that you have grown a lot from the blast furnace."
"It is known that such physics that benefits the world should be applied to the people as early as possible, rather than waiting until it becomes perfect in your eyes before I am willing to talk to you."
Ying Chengjiao looked outside the courtyard and said helplessly, "I didn't think so much."
“I just really can’t afford it anymore!”
