In the following days, although the father-in-law gave Cheng Sanlang a holiday, it did not mean that he could really rest.
Countless relatives, friends, friends, and anyone who looks familiar will come to the house to express their congratulations.
Just receiving all kinds of gifts made my head go numb. Even many officials from Luoyang County government came to have a team building, oh no, a group worship.
As a hospitable member of the Cheng family, Cheng Chubi certainly could not let the guests who gave gifts come and leave.
As a result, in the following days, the open space outside the old Cheng's house seemed extremely crowded.
The main thing was to go straight in. There were so many guests coming out sideways that the Cheng family had to send people outside the house to maintain order.
After working hard for almost ten days, Cheng Chubi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Except for the addition of a little person, everything in the mansion has returned to its former peace and tranquility.
With the insistence of Cheng Chubi, a master of traditional Chinese medicine in the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingda was able to get out of bed and walk on the third day after giving birth.
By the time Cheng Sanlang finished his work, Li Mingda had a safe and normal delivery, and Li Mingda, who was getting healthier, had returned to his former liveliness and agility.
But between her eyebrows and eyes, there is a little more elegance and tranquility of a mature woman, and she really looks more and more like Empress Changsun.
As the first batch of mares migrating from Guanzhong also arrived, Cheng Chubi, the pioneer in artificial insemination technology for large livestock in the Tang Dynasty, became busy again.
At this moment, he had also moved from Chang'an to Cheng's University in Luoyang, not long after Cheng Sanlang showed his power and started large-scale breeding of castrated pigs in Chang'an City.
A new discipline has been quietly developed: the major of animal husbandry, which mainly studies livestock breeding, reproduction, feeding, management, disease prevention and epidemic prevention, and livestock product processing.
Most of the students are children from poor families. After all, in this era, you ask a student from a prominent family to do this.
Even if he is happy with it, his family will definitely not be happy with it. After all, the pulse of the times cannot be moved according to Cheng Sanlang's will by just pressing it randomly.
All Cheng Sanlang needs to do is to follow the current, plus guidance and forward-looking ideological education.
After Cheng Sanlang had an idea and came up with the artificial insemination technology, he immediately thought of improving this high-precision technology in animal husbandry.
As for the animal husbandry major, the most important thing is practice. However, since there are so many horses in Xiyuan, Cheng Sanlang will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity for private use of public equipment.
Moreover, in Cheng's University, they have begun to secretly study the breeding of cattle, horses, pigs, sheep and other livestock.
To put it simply, it is similar to the improvement of horse breeds in the Tang Dynasty, but now it has only entered the scientific research stage.
For example, if the stallion's semen dilution ratio is one to ten, the pregnancy rate after artificial insemination of the horse is 70%.
Today, the pregnancy rate of 1:15 is still close to 70%, which proves that this dilution technology still has room for expansion.
If the horse essence can be diluted to a ratio of 1:30, or even 1:50.
Even if the success rate of fertilization can only reach 50%, it will definitely be a feat for Datang's animal husbandry industry, and even take off.
After all, that would mean that one stallion could impregnate fifteen to twenty-five mares at one time.
This is doubled or even quadrupled from the current number of fertilizations of six to seven horses at one time.

Cheng Chubi looked at the students in front of him who were so excited that he wished he could replace the horses with his own body, bah! So he devoted himself to the students specializing in artificial insemination technology with even greater passion.
"So, I ask you all to step up your efforts and see what kind of approach can achieve the greatest efficiency..."
A student with a face full of shame bowed to Cheng Sanlang and said loudly.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master. It seems that we need to be more attentive and try our best to live up to Master's expectations."
Behind him were top students majoring in animal husbandry from Cheng University who were assigned to Xiyuan for practical training and study.
They all saluted Cheng Sanlang in unison, and then went about their business.
As the manager of the old Cheng family, Cheng Ying was previously responsible for the breeding and management of Chengjiazhuang pig pens and various livestock.
Then he came up to Cheng Sanlang and quietly reported on the internship situation during this period and the current progress of the subject.
Now he has also put on a long gown and became the head of the Department of Animal Husbandry at Chengshi University of the Tang Dynasty.
But even with his fat body and face full of flesh, he looked more like a butcher than a teacher.
However, the education work in recent years has made him, a rough old man who followed General Cheng through life and death, become rough and fine, um, a very serious adjective.
At least any knowledge related to animal husbandry was readily available, coupled with his many years of practical experience in managing livestock.
Therefore, serving as the head of this department is truly worthy of the title.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Anyway, you can find a way. We have hundreds of thousands of horses in the Tang Dynasty. You don't need to be too anxious. Take your time to do research and strive for greater results..."
"By testing the horses, I believe you can definitely surpass the already successful one to fifteen and move towards a better goal."
"In addition, you can also use this artificial insemination dilution technology to see if it can be used on cattle, sheep, and pigs."
"After all, they are all livestock. Since horses can be used, I believe there will be no problem with cattle, sheep, and pigs. We just need to observe the difference in their dilution ratios."
Cheng Chubi was embarrassed to say that this method originated from the artificial insemination technology of cattle.
"Okay, don't worry, Third Young Master. I will definitely encourage those students and let them strive to reach new heights and live up to the great trust of Young Master."
Cheng Chubi patted Cheng Ying on the shoulder and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Ying. Please work harder, turn around, and try to make those people dare to underestimate the civil servants of our Cheng family and honestly publish an apology in the newspaper."
"Don't worry, Third Young Master. Those students heard about your bet with those civil servants from aristocratic families. Haha, they are as energetic as if they were on the battlefield."
Cheng Chubi and Cheng Ying walked slowly forward while chatting. In front of them, the students from Cheng University were all wearing white work clothes, white hats, and white masks.
He looked very different from the gray uniforms of the horsemen from AMTD Bureau and Taipu Temple.
Although both parties are doing the same kind of work, the technocrats are talking on the sidelines and the horsemen are doing the work.
On Cheng Sanlang's side, there is a group of five people, including three people in the operation team, one person in the observation team, and one recorder.
Everyone takes turns to collect semen from the stallions, and then inseminate the mares.
