Chapter 1655： Livestock and sports

In fact, Marin is quite helpless now. Because, he felt a little too much food. What is the concept of food that can feed 7-8 million people? This year, the entire German region will be about 12 million people. The Kingdom of France, the most populous country in Western Europe, has more than 15 million people.

If the grain output doubles, so many people will be more than enough to feed France, not to mention the North Sea country takes more than 2 million people? I took a lot of food to make wine in time, there are still a lot more ...

In this day and age, only one monarch in the world may be worried about too much food. Even the Daming Empire, whose grain output far exceeds that of Europe, dare not be so arrogant. Because the population of the Ming Empire is too large, and the consumption is also large, which offsets the high yield of food. Of course, the high yield of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the level after using volcanic ash, which is at most higher. Where like the Beihai country uses farmland with three fertilizers, the yield per mu is as high as five or six hundred pounds. This level can only be reached in the Ming Dynasty by the most fertile rice fields in Jiangnan. However, the yield per mu of rice is higher than that of wheat. In the Ming Dynasty, the yield per mu in the north is only two or three hundred catties, which is only better than volcanic ash feed.

Of course, Marin's volcanic ash fertilizer is actually not just volcanic ash. He is also doped with some potassium salts and phosphate fertilizers, so the effect is much better than ordinary volcanic ash. Otherwise, the average volcanic ash generally cannot achieve the effect of yielding 200 pounds per mu, which is only a few hundred pounds. But the yield per mu is much stronger than that without fertilizer.

Because the food is too abundant, Marin has decided to gradually reduce the content of straw bran in the "Kohler Bread". Even, wheat bran is sifted out when grinding noodles, and then used as feed for pig breeding.

Now, Beihai has the Taihu pigs that breed super fast. When the time comes, pig farms will be promoted in various farms, so there is no shortage of meat in Beihai.

Right now, because the Taihu pigs have begun large-scale breeding, the large aristocratic families in the Palace of Aurich and Aurich have completely replaced the original European pork with Taihu pork.

As for why? Because the pork of Taihu pig is more delicate, more suitable for cooking, and more oily ...

The pork in Europe is a bit firewood and has a bad taste. Therefore, most pork in Europe is made into cured meat, bacon and ham. Such rough food masks the shortcomings of poor pork taste in Europe. The Taihu pig does not have this shortcoming. It has a delicate taste and a high fat percentage, which is very popular.

One of the best pig breeds in China, although it tastes good, it has a lot of fat. This is a shortcoming in later generations, but in this era of widespread lack of oil and water, it is an absolute super advantage.

In fact, the pork taste of Taihu pig is better than the lean pork bought before Marin's previous life. The white pigs imported from Europe and the United States with large size and high lean meat have no black pork flavor. Otherwise, Ding Shitou of NetEase will not specifically raise black pigs.

The braised pork made from black pork has an excellent taste and is rich in oil and water. Wealthy people like Marin may not be used to eating fatty meat, but every time the braised pork meat made from Taihu pork enters the camp, the soldiers always grab the fat first, followed by the fat and thin pieces Finally choose lean meat ...

No way, this year, in addition to nobles, those soldiers of civilian origin are generally very short of oil and water. When meeting Taihu pigs with enough oil and water, they ate naturally.

In particular, the Beihai team has high-intensity physical training every day, which consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, fat meat is particularly popular in military camps.

But the nobles in the city, because they do not run at least 5 kilometers per day like soldiers, have low energy consumption. Therefore, many people eat Taihu pork, and as a result their stomachs start to grow bigger.

If the civil servant had a big belly, Marin didn't feel anything. But many military generals' stomachs also grew up, and Marin was upset. In this way, how to lead troops to fight in the future?

Then, Marin ordered to organize a football match among the officers, so that the middle-aged officers would play in person for 90 minutes. And after 90 minutes of kicking, even if the water is often spread on the field, the physical energy consumption is also great. Only in this way can the danger of middle-aged military officers get out of shape.

As for civil servants, Marin made badminton for them, so that they can play badminton and move their bodies. Originally, Marin intended to promote table tennis. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to make table tennis, and Marin couldn't do it, so he had to make a relatively simple badminton.

Badminton has very low requirements on the field, and you can play on the open space behind the house. Therefore, the sport quickly became popular. Not only is it popular among civil servants, there are also many people in the generals who like to fight.

But Marin believes that the military commander needs to understand cooperation and tactics. Therefore, football is more suitable for generals. Then he forced the generals to play football. Only the family members of civil servants and military generals allow Wan Badminton as a literati sport.

Moreover, the general's football is not good enough to be punished. For example, the whole team must sing a song in public. If you do n’t know how to sing, just fine your dog ...

Where are these big bosses who are good at singing? Singing out is the scene of a car accident, which makes people laugh. Otherwise, you will be ashamed in front of the generals. If they are often humiliated in public, how can the team bring it in the future?

With this kind of shame, these generals usually play football, so they prefer to use their brains to engage in tactics, so as not to lose the bottom and look ugly. Especially those middle-aged military commanders, in order not to disgrace the victory, can be described as racking their brains and tactics. It is precisely because of this habit that they often like to think about tactics and defeat their opponents in the most trouble-free way in future wars.

...

In addition to the great development of the pig industry, the incubation rate of chickens, ducks and geese has been greatly improved in the North China Sea due to the appearance of kang houses.

Needless to say about geese, because the Beihai State promotes civilian education, the demand for quills is huge. Therefore, the goose industry has developed rapidly in Beihai. In addition to feather feathers, goose feathers can be used as feather pens, and smaller feathers can also be used as feathers for badminton or arrow feathers. Therefore, the goose industry is a promising gold industry.

As for raising chickens and ducks, it is an important industry to provide poultry eggs. In order to obtain enough eggs, Malinte specially introduced the Luhua chicken with a high egg production rate from the Ming Dynasty, and also introduced the Gaoyou duck, which is good at producing double yellow eggs.

Needless to say, eggs are definitely needed in the market for fresh eggs. The duck eggs produced by Gaoyou Duck are naturally used to pickle salted duck eggs. Later in the morning, Marin liked to drink porridge to eat salted duck eggs. The chopsticks pulled out, and the feeling of a lot of butter flowing out of the salted duck eggs was very cool ...
