In ancient times, it was basically impossible to fully realize the later large-scale farming. However, we can try to get closer to large-scale farming. After all, there are always more solutions than problems.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, mixed feed was used to feed horses. The Qin State encouraged animal husbandry. According to historical records, the livestock raised in the border counties of the Qin State were calculated based on the valley. Queen Qin Shihuang herded two hundred horses.
If you have a thousand cattle, sheep, and pigs, you will be granted the title of a thousand households.
During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat up suppliers from the Western Regions, and then forcibly imported high-quality horses from other places to improve local horse breeds. In the Tang Dynasty, a Diary and Animal Husbandry Department was established to specifically manage animal husbandry. This position in heaven was equivalent to Bi Ma Wen...
..
As we all know, in the current era, the animal husbandry during the Five Emperors period basically continued the more ancient methods. The number of livestock has not increased. Most of them are a system of combining grazing and captivity. In the areas of Beidi and Xirong, the form of captivity is
, basically just giving the animals a place to sleep.
So, when Yu Zai told Marquis Xuan that their animal husbandry in the south was very developed, Marquis Xuan didn't believe it.
"The climate in the south is warm, but the climate in the northwest is different from that in the south. In the north, there is heavy snowfall in winter. However, the world has become much warmer in recent years, so no cattle or sheep freeze to death. But in winter, hundreds of grains will not grow, and people will
They live frugally and live frugally with their livestock..."
Xuan Hou raised many questions, but Yuzai just said that these were minor problems.
Since large-scale breeding is mentioned, disease prevention and feed problems must of course be solved. As long as these two are solved, the number of livestock can be rapidly increased within the visible range.
But Marquis Xuan was skeptical about Yuan Zai's guarantee. After all, most livestock in the south were pigs. As for raising pigs, Marquis Xan had already seen some of them and knew that Yuan Zai was indeed a good hand. But cattle, sheep, and horses were all important.
Everyone's habits are different.
Everyone was slowly heading towards the Dianzhu Mountain area on several bullock carts. On the way, Marquis Tuan told the Queen Mother of the West about this matter. Even the emperor was alarmed and immediately said: "This matter is easy to handle. Why not open an experiment in the Central Plains?"
Click, give it a try first..."
The Queen Mother of the West also felt that this thing was reliable. Anyway, if the test was good, it could be extended to the Western Wilderness. If the test was not good, the Central Plains would not lose anything, because Emperor Fangxun wanted to use all the cattle, sheep and pigs snatched from Yongzhu.
Do experiments.
Since these animals were originally going to be divided, why not use them as the first batch of small white pigs for large-scale breeding? Wouldn’t it be better if there were more of them?
Over the next period of time, Marquis Xuan and Yu Zai had in-depth exchanges on animal husbandry, and from the contact, she also discovered that Yu Zai did have something.
"The ears of wheat are something that people can eat. The husks of wheat are used as a kind of feed and can be fed to pigs. The straws of wheat are saved and bundled together to be used as feed for sheep in the cave or as land.
The fertilizer, of course, can also be used to make wine..."
“What is wine?”
"it is this."
小 小 only brought a small pocket wine, because the carrier did not like to drink, and he picked it out with his hand, and gradually brightened a light in his eyes.
“Delicious! Is this made from grain?”
She seemed to have discovered a new world, and Yu Zai continued to talk about it. In fact, many things, such as bran, soybean meal, bean cake, and even some crushed ore residues, can be used as natural concentrated feed.
"You also know that cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, these guys, don't just have to eat enough to eat. They eat some feeds together to make them grow faster. People can't just eat rice, but also eat meat and salt.
.”
"The wine you drink is not actually a necessity. What is a necessity? People need to eat food, otherwise they will starve to death. People need to eat meat, otherwise they will have no strength. People need to drink water, otherwise they will die of thirst. People need to drink water, otherwise they will die of thirst.
Use wood to make a fire, otherwise you will freeze to death..."
“Wine is a by-product of grain. We in the south call it an agricultural by-product. However, after making wine, there will be a lot of residue left in the grain. These are called distiller’s grains, but they are excellent feed for livestock.”
"In the wild, when selecting feed, in the season when there is abundant grass, pasture and cereals are used, and pasture accounts for the majority. But in winter, wheat straw and wheat husks, these things can come in handy.
"
“Grain, grain, grain!”
"Master Ji Qi went to your land to help grow grains. You can't underestimate this kind of thing. If the grains are planted well, the cattle and sheep will be raised better. The environment of the land can be protected and changed. Although
It is still subject to climate restrictions, but it is much better than chasing water plants and deserts, or even fighting for a little water and land."
“Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. Food is like the trunk of a big tree. It can produce many more branches than you can imagine or see.”
“Agriculture, agriculture, agriculture! Say important things three times!”
After Yu Zai finished speaking, he paused for a while, while Marquis Xuan was digesting these knowledge points, with "agriculture" all in his mind, as if a magic sound was filling his ears...
Di Fangxun thought that since the people of the Queen Mother of the West were very interested in farming and had started some large-scale farming, they might as well hand over the Luonan land to them.
The emperor's trust was beyond Yuzai's expectation, so that Yuzai found it strange...
This... I just mentioned it casually, and the other party didn't question it at all?
No, am I required to jump out and say “I don’t think it’s possible”?
Yuzai looked at Gaotao and Qi, but got no response. He looked at Queen Mother of the West and Panyu, but also got no response, and finally looked at Bocheng and Zigao.

Yu Zai was puzzled.
Aren't you a villain? Why don't you come out and say a few words?
However, although Bocheng Zigao was not familiar with Yuzai, he recognized many things that Yuzai said. After being questioned by Yuzai in a confused look, Bocheng Zigao immediately reprimanded Yuzai angrily.
You little kid, why are you so mean!
But the content of the reprimand made Yu Zai dumbfounded.
Bo Cheng Zigao's meaning is very clear. You are a bully. Why do you have to ask others to question you? Damn, what you said makes sense. How can I question it? How can you be like this!
"Sometimes, you should be brave enough to admit that you have done good things. Why should you trust others to get a good name? If so, it is better not to leave a name at all!"
This incident is about the recent proliferation of Yellow Emperors in the Central Plains. Due to the excessive number of Yellow Emperors, there are many cripples who are deceiving and abducting people. For a while, sages and swindlers appeared on the same stage, and some people were teaching "The Ten Tenth Anniversary of the Yellow Emperor".
"Eight Fists"...
So originally this was a good thing, but because there was no unified moral restraint, and the identity of the sage was not popularized, and because many people who had never seen the world still believed too much in some passing shamans who cheated money, they were defiled by society.
Elements took advantage of the loopholes and made the social environment very chaotic.
"Marquis Xuan, I think you can stay here, in the land of Luonan... As for the wild herbs and vegetables you want from the Central Plains, I will have them sent over."
The Queen Mother of the West said this to Marquis Tuan on the bank of the river.
