"I'll just go, you even thought of this?" Marin was shocked.

Previously, Marin sent Zhang Cai to the Taihu Lake coastal area to purchase Taihu pigs, and at the same time instructed him to purchase the scary tea seeds (Biluochun), but he forgot to instruct Zhang Cai to purchase mulberry trees and silkworm seeds.

In fact, Huzhou, the best silk silk in the Ming Dynasty, was produced by Huzhou, on the south bank of Taihu Lake. When Zhang Cai purchased Taihu pigs, he went to Huzhou to find the domestic pig breed that Malin said "produces more than ten cubs in one child".

Of course, in Huzhou, Zhang Cai did not find many domestic pigs that gave birth to more than ten in one child. However, Zhang Cai, who came here, remembered the most famous local specialty - Hu Silk. It is the best silk in the Ming Dynasty and the best silk in the world today.

Moreover, Zhang Cai had also heard that Ma Lin seemed to attach great importance to silk and porcelain produced in the Ming Dynasty. He had no choice but to pass by Huzhou, but how could he let Huzhou silk be spared?

Therefore, Zhang Cai, under the supervision of local officials in Huzhou, purchased several local domestic pigs in the local area. Then, he recruited two silkworm farmers who were about to die because they borrowed usury loans. Of course, in name, they "hired them to help raise pigs" and deceived the local yamen runners who were monitored. Then, in the evening, Zhang Cai quietly sent people to purchase hundreds of mulberry seedlings from Huzhou and a bag of local silkworm seedlings from Huzhou to take them to Taidao to plant and raise...

Zhang Cai is a smart person. He knows that the reason why Huzhou silk is famous all over the world is not only because of the good local climate conditions, but also the good local silkworm and mulberry varieties.

For example, the reason why local silk in Europe is not of good quality is closely related to the poor silkworm species and mulberry varieties introduced.

In fact, Ma Lin raised silkworms at home in his previous life, planted large areas of Humian mulberry, and introduced silkworm seeds from Huzhou. However, that happened when he was a child in his previous life.

At that time, Ma Lin, who was still young, thought that "Hu Sang" was called "Hu Sang", and thought it was a foreign variety. It was not until he grew up that the one planted at home was called "Hu Sang", and the lake was the "hu" in Huzhou, not the "Hu" that represents foreign "Hu".

Malin clearly remembered that at that time, silkworms were raised at home and they specially made silkworm houses. Not only did they require warmth, but they also often sprinkle quicklime and bleach to disinfect and prevent silkworms from getting infected and sick.

At that time, in order to sprinkle lime, Marin's mother brought diving glasses and masks that specifically covered her eyes to prevent quicklime powder from damaging her eyes. There were even things like gas masks.

The young Marin often took her mother's "gas mask" to go out to play the role of a biochemical soldier and play war games with her friends.

The mulberry fields in the lake were also an important "battlefield" for Malin and his friends. Because every summer, the mulberry branches in the mulberry fields were hung with mulberries...

In the 1990s, the rural areas of Jiangbei were still relatively poor, and rural children generally could not eat fruits at all. Therefore, mulberries in the mulberry fields became the best fruits for children. Malin often rushed into the mulberry fields in his previous life, eating black mouths. Even because of eating too much mulberries, his teeth were sore...

So, seeing these hundreds of mulberry seedlings, Marin was filled with emotion and remembered the experience of eating mulberries when she was a child in her previous life...

Ma Lin naturally praised Zhang Cai's cleverness. As expected, he was a big shot who had been the Minister of the Ming Dynasty and had strong abilities. He thought about what he almost missed, and he had done.

After the Taihu pigs, mulberry seedlings, silkworm seedlings, Biluochun tea seedlings and recruited personnel were placed on board, Malin's fleet continued to sail eastward.

After passing by Guazhou Ferry, Malin looked north - it was his hometown in his previous life...

But Marin did not plan to go back to his hometown to find his roots and ask about his ancestors. After all, he is now a German body. What should he say when he meets his ancestors?

Moreover, it is said that Majiazhuang, where he lived in later generations, was established only in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult to figure out where the ancestors came from. Because the Ma family's genealogy was burned as a "feudal remnant" during the ten-year indescribable period. Even the ancestor worship was not allowed. It seemed that as long as he believed in a beard, his ancestors could not be ignored... And since the San Taigong, who was educated in the family and was responsible for keeping the family tree, no one in the Ma family knew the origin of the ancestors...

Since you can't find the source, why did Malin look for it? Moreover, it is not easy to deal with it if you find it. You can't say to the other party - "Ancestor, I am your descendant"? And with your current appearance, you will also scare the other party...

...

After entering the East China Sea, an important problem was highlighted because of the strong wind and waves on the sea - seasickness...

The 200 doctors given to Malin by the Ming Dynasty, including the five guilty imperial doctors, were more than half of them seasick. Among them, 2 of the five former imperial doctors were seasick.

More than half of the more than 3,000 immigrants who accompanied the boat were seasick. After all, these northern immigrants are not used to taking boats, especially on sea boats.

Fortunately, Marin was prepared in advance, so he asked people to prepare a large amount of ginger slices in advance, which made most seasick people tide over the difficulties. Only a small number of seasick people still look half-dead.

The most nonsense is that those two thousand Taihu pigs actually felt seasick…

...

Malin jumped straight into anger. The seasick people were unable to return to Beihai Country with the ship, including those seasick Taihu pigs...

Zhang Cai was very calm, and he suggested to Marin:

"Lord, don't worry, although there are many people with pigs, there are still many doctors and pigs who are not seasick? Just take these people who are not seasick and go back first!"

Marin thought about it and accepted this fact. Anyway, nearly half of the 200 doctors were still not seasick, so it was enough to bring them back to Beihai Country. However, nearly two-thirds of those Taihu pigs could not be brought back to China, which made him very depressed...

Hearing Malin's concerns, Zhang Cai laughed:

"Lord, you also know that the most powerful thing about these Taihu pigs is breeding. You brought back more than 500, and 400 were sows. These sows can give birth to more than a dozen cubs in each fetus. If the cubs give birth to cubs, they will exceed ten thousand in less than a few years. The lord looked for this kind of pig in the first place, but didn't he just like it because he reproductive speed?"

Malin thought about it and said that Taihu pigs can give birth so much. As long as you control the pigs in the early stage, the population will expand very quickly. After all, a sow can give birth to more than a dozen children in one child and a second child a year. The increase in the number is so fast.

Compared with the thin and small pigs in Europe and can only give birth to three or five cubs per baby, Taihu pigs are definitely magical pigs... However, it is necessary to be careful not to be infected with swine fever, which is a domestic pig killer. But there is nothing to worry about. As long as each pig is isolated and only when breeding, it can still prevent the spread of swine fever as much as possible...

With a complicated mood, Marin returned to Keelung Port, Dongfan Island. After landing, those who were seasick and dying were finally alive again.

But after bringing thousands of people back, Marin discovered that the little land near Keelung Bay alone seemed to be insufficient to accommodate these thousands of people. If you want the land, you must expand...

So, next, we will have to fight the indigenous people. The most suitable place to seize is naturally the Taipei Basin. The land area there is large enough, and there is Yingge porcelain clay area to the west, which is the best priority to take action...
