Chapter 494 Gao Feng has been taught

"Casting a boar? What impact will this have on the pig?"

A commoner asked.

Lin Fan looked at the commoner and said, "Casting a boar will naturally cause the boar to lose its fertility. As for other effects, you can see the eunuchs in the palace."

Then, Lin Fan said: "Remember that castrated boars are the main source of meat, because the sows are not very meaty, and only castrated princesses have the best meat."

After saying that, Lin Fan asked someone to bring a special knife, started his own actions, castrated a little piglet, and put it into the pigpen.

Sure enough, the little piglet was jumping around before and attacked other piglets. After being castrated, she became much more honest and hid aside to eat vegetables and leaves.

"I saw it. As long as the pigs don't move around and eat honestly, they will gain weight. When more and more pork, people in Zhenzhou can eat pork."

Lin Fan said.

An excitement immediately appeared on the faces of the people, and Gao Feng was also shocked. Unexpectedly, as a Marquis of Wu, Lin Fan would do such things that only inferior people would do.

Raising pigs and raising poultry is what only inferior people will do. In the military camp, death row prisoners will be taken from prison to raise pigs and poultry.

"Mr. Gao, isn't this pig raising knowledgeable? These are just rare. Do you know how to raise pigs to reduce the mortality rate of pigs?"

Lin Fan asked.

Gao Feng was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know how to solve this problem, because he used to march and fight, and pigs often died.

When there is no shortage of food, these dead pigs will be thrown away directly. When there is no shortage of food, the pork will be eaten. However, soldiers often die of illness.

"Please ask Lord Lin to answer my doubts."

Gao Feng said respectfully.

"Well, since Gao Da wants to learn, I naturally want to say that although pigs like mud and dirty environments, there will be a lot of bacteria, and pigs will easily get sick."

"So, this pigpen should be designed in this way. You see, although each pigpen is separated by a wall, there is a waterway under the wall. This waterway is not enough for the pigs to escape, but it can make their feces flow down."

"So, it is necessary to clean regularly and let people rinse the pigpen with clean water. It is best to rinse it once a day, so that it will not disturb the pig's fattening, but also reduce the chance of pigs getting sick."

"Also, once a pig dies, the entire pigs in the pigpen will be isolated, and the pigpens will also be disinfected with lime, so that they can continue to breed after a period of time."

"Also, pigs that die from illness must not be eaten. They are prone to swine fever and spread plague."

Lin Fan reminded.

The people nodded one after another, and Gao Feng also had an expression of being taught.

After explaining how to raise pigs to them, Lin Fan took them to see chickens, ducks, geese. Although the captive place for chickens, ducks, geese has not yet been built, he can explain it to these people.

"This is chicken, duck and geese. I believe everyone knows how to raise them. Just give them vegetable leaves, let them walk around, and eat some small insects, and they can grow very well."

"But, do you know how to get them grown up quickly?"

Lin Fan asked.

"Mr. Lin, is there any way to make chickens, ducks and geese grow up quickly?"

One person asked.

"Of course there is a way, that is, they must eat more and move less. Therefore, they must control their range of activities, enclose a piece of open space with barbed wire, and raise certain chickens, ducks and geese in a certain space."

"Remember, chickens, ducks and geese eat should also be metered. Too much is not good, so that they can be slaughtered at least one month in advance."

Lin Fan said.

In ancient times, those chickens were all strolling chickens, and it took at least half a year to grow. It was already good to make this chicken grow in five months with your own method.

"Mr. Wuhou, are you saying true? Can chickens, ducks and geese really be slaughtered in advance?"

A commoner asked.

"This is of course true. Also, when hens, ducks, and goose grow to a certain level, they will lay eggs. You should be careful and collect eggs regularly."

"In the early stage, the farm will not sell any eggs, etc., and all of them must be used for hatching. Of course, the hens are naturally hatching too slowly, so I have other ways to speed up the hatching progress."

Lin Fan said.

However, Lin Fan did not intend to tell these people how to hatch chickens, ducks and geese. After all, if you tell them, they would not be able to apply it to reality.

After a morning of explanation, the people basically mastered the methods of breeding. Lin Fan asked them to stay and take care of piglets and poultry, so he took Gao Feng away from the farm.

"Mr. Lin, Gao has been taught today. I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in poetry, songs, but also good at raising livestock."

Gao Feng admired him from the bottom of his heart.

You know, breeding is something that only inferior people will do. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, who is not a scholar who is above his zeal? Who would study these things?

Some people even feel ashamed of having their poultry raised at home. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan is a Marquis of Wu, but he knows more than the people.

"Haha! These things are related to people's livelihood. The people are struggling to make a living and have no time to study them. As the parents of the people, I naturally need to study them."

Lin Fan smiled.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that the refined salt that is popular in Yanzhou is from you. After you use toxic mineral salt, you can taste better than the clear salt after quenching it through special techniques."

"In the past few days, I have heard that you have refined fine salt from sea salt. These fine salts come easily and are cheap. Why not promote them in my Tang Dynasty?"

Gao Feng asked.

This is what he is very curious about. It can be said that the sea salt needs as much as possible along the coast of Zhenzhou. It is not difficult to meet the needs of the entire Tang Dynasty, and it can also bring a lot of financial income to Zhenzhou.

It is not difficult to even support the people of Zhenzhou, but Lin Fan is just for sale in Zhenzhou.

"Haha, Gao Da thought too easily. My Tang Dynasty has always been very strict in controlling the salt business. Only when the five surnames and Qi Wangs can sell salt reasonably and legally."

"I ask you, if I promote Qingyan now, do you think the five surnames Qiwang would agree?"

Lin Fan asked back.

Ga!

Gao Feng was stunned. He finally understood what Lin Fan meant. It was indeed the case. Without the permission of the five surnames and seven hopes, Lin Fan's salt would never be promoted to all areas of the Tang Dynasty.

Even with Li Hao participating, it is impossible, because salt is the foundation of the five surnames and seven hopes, and Lin Fan will never make trouble.

"However, in a short time, this fine salt can be eaten by all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Clear salt also has many harms to the human body. I will never allow the people of the Tang Dynasty to continue to eat clear salt."

Lin Fan said coldly.
