Chapter 1087： 8 cm per capita

The number of white feather chickens raised by Dahua is 150 million a year. This is a relatively accurate figure, because they are all large-scale breeding, which is easy to count.

However, there is no way to count the number of farmed chickens, only an estimate can be made.

In the countryside, most people raise a dozen native chickens.

This amount is the most cost-effective for them.

There are too few to raise, waste energy is time-consuming, and can't sell much.

There are too many to feed them, so they have to feed them all with grain. There are not so many earthworms and small insects to feed them up in the fields.

It is too costly to feed them all with grain, and it is not worthwhile.

Although each family does not raise many people, it is better to raise many people.

On average, a family raises ten. Assuming that half of the rural families will raise them, there will be more than 200 million.

The UOB Statistics Bureau estimates that UOB sold 400 million chickens in Yongxing in 17 years.

On average, it seems that a person has not eaten half of it in a year.

However, these chickens are actually supplied to economically developed areas.

For big cities like Nanjing and Shanghai, there are at least three or four chickens per capita each year.

As for overseas rural areas, most people don't eat chicken once a year, and at most occasionally eat one or two eggs. The difference is still very big.

The number of breeding 400 million chickens a year is far from enough for the huge Dahua.

In order to allow more people to eat meat, the Dahua court has recently encouraged the development of the breeding industry.

The most direct way is to increase the purchase price of chickens, ducks and live pigs and set a minimum purchase price.

If a merchant deliberately lowers the price, the government will come forward to buy it to ensure that the farmers will not lose money.

If you don't do it in this way, the farmers will lack enthusiasm and dare not take risks.

After all, most farmers have no sales channels.

Pigs must be sold to a certain level, otherwise they will lose money.

However, large-scale farmed chickens, ducks or meat pigs need to be sold to big cities, which cannot be digested in rural areas.

If the purchasers are playing tricks to keep prices down, farmers can hardly resist.

In a market economy, the advantage of the capital side is too great.

Without government intervention, ordinary people can only become targets of exploitation.

With the guarantee of the government's lowest purchase price, farmers can raise it with confidence, anyway, the government will take care of it.

Nowadays, in Dahua's rural areas, almost every family raises two pigs.

Why is it two ends? This one is also particular about it.

A pig alone is not easy to raise, and it is not large. When the two ends are put together, they will fight for food, eat more, and grow faster.

There are too many, and farmers don’t have so much time to take care of them.

If you have two heads, feed some grain at ordinary times and pull some pig grass when you are free, so that you can make the most of your free time and save breeding costs.

It is not cost-effective if all food is used for farming.

In addition to setting a minimum purchase price, Dahua's science and technology department has also researched various feeds.

Although the meat of chickens, ducks and livestock raised with feed is not as delicious as food raised, the difference is actually very subtle.

Only those who are tired of eating meat in later generations can detect it, and in the current Dahua, there is no such thing as a saying that feed pigs are not good.

Regardless of whether it is a domesticated pig or a pig raised on feed, it is equally delicious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Compared with food, the cost of breeding with feed is much lower.

At the same time, the feed industry is convenient for transportation and storage.

For those large-scale farmers, feed is a must.

Relying on feed, Dahua's breeding industry is also developing rapidly.

A piece of data was published in the newspaper on February 18th, 18th year of Yongxing.

A non-governmental survey and statistics agency conducted a study that proved that in the eighteenth year of Yongxing, the average height of Chinese people increased by eight centimeters compared with that of the Ming Dynasty.

Through this data, the agency proved that Dahua's current nutritional level is several times better than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the national fitness has been greatly improved.

In fact, this data is nonsense.

Their current survey samples are basically concentrated in big cities like Nanjing and Shanghai, and the data is not representative.

Moreover, due to funding reasons, the data they sampled are also relatively limited.

What's worse is that short people generally don't like to expose their height. Most of those who are willing to be measured are tall people who are satisfied with their figure.

Sampling survey is a very technical matter, and Dahua's private institutions are not yet of such a high level.

Moreover, even if their current data can be measured very accurately, it is impossible for them to know the average height of a person in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, there could be no idle panic agencies to do this kind of investigation.

Therefore, the figure that the per capita height is eight centimeters higher than that of the Ming Dynasty is purely estimated by the agency.

However, most people did not hesitate to believe this data.

This is actually normal. In the later Internet era, the difficulty of obtaining information has been reduced by countless times, and it is unlikely that many people will question the data given by some ‘professional institutions’.

Countless keyboard guys, holding those data and letting go of bad words, waved Fang Qiu, and gave directions...

As long as the data given is not too outrageous and just in line with the reader's preferences, no one will go into it.

What's more, in this era of extremely difficult access to information.

As ordinary people, they can only choose to believe in authority.

Dahua Daily, on the other hand, represents authority. The information that can be published in the Dahua Daily is generally not wrong. After all, the articles in the Dahua Daily are strictly supervised and screened by the government.

In fact, when Ye Nan, the government's news review officer, saw this report, he knew clearly that the data was not reliable.

However, the release of this data is not harmful to the Dahua court, at least it can increase the people's confidence, pride, and satisfaction with the Dahua government.

People who have read this article will think this way. Dahua's life is good. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can grow taller.

With this kind of thinking, you can tolerate some problems in your life more, and then look forward to getting better in the future.

For maintaining social stability, there is still a certain positive significance.

Moreover, their thinking is actually correct. The agency's report can only say that the data is not accurate enough, but it cannot be said that they are talking nonsense.

On the whole, the average height of Dahua is definitely higher than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, this is especially obvious in big cities.

Abundant meat and diversified ingredients.

When the concept of nutrition was put forward, the diets of those who were wealthy also changed a lot.

Milk also appeared in this period and became a must-have drink for the wealthy.
