Chapter 11 How did he raise pigs with magic medicine?
It’s not just Li Er.
Queen Changsun on the side also frowned, and Du Ruhui and Li Junxian looked at Li Sheng in confusion.
Queen Changsun doesn't care about anything else.
She is afraid that her children have not eaten well these years!
So I frowned.
When marching with Li Er, she had of course eaten wild boar meat, and knew that it was not a good product.
But Li Sheng said so.
Queen Changsun also wanted to know more details.
Du Ruhui was even more moved. The taste of wild boar meat is comparable to that of mutton. Forget it, can it be raised like chickens?
For a while, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Sheng.
"Of course it can be cultivated."
"Human beings are the primates of all things, not to mention good-breed wild boar...even lions and tigers, what can't we breed?"
"But Lao Li, you don't know something. Why is wild boar so unpalatable?"
Li Sheng suddenly asked with a smile.
"The wild boar is not something suitable for eating... In ancient times, farming was not popular, so some people might have eaten it, but in later generations it gradually became less common."
"That's not the case. Wild boars are not suitable for entrance because they exercise too much!"
"oh?"
Li Er and others' eyes lit up. Li Sheng's point of view was very novel, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was a true insight that had been carefully considered!
"Mountain pigs are active in the mountains all day long. Old Li, you think, if a person often travels outside, the bones and flesh in his body must be strong. I think you, Old Li... must have been in the military, so you should understand this truth."
Li Er's heart tightened.
Du Ruhui was even slightly shocked.
His Highness has great eyesight!
But fortunately, His Highness should not have guessed that this is the present Majesty.
Li Sheng continued, "Strong bones and flesh means that it is hard and strong, with less fat and not much fat."
"It is not lubricated by grease, is as hard as a stone, and sweats all year round and has developed sweat glands. How can it taste delicious?"
"But in captivity... there won't be any of these disadvantages."
Everyone understood.
Li Er and Du Ruhui, who were concerned about people's livelihood, looked at each other and nodded slightly at the same time.
This method can be extended to the public!
It is definitely a technique that benefits the people!
But... Du Ruhui suddenly let out a sigh.
"Well……"
"What's the matter, Lao Du?"
Li Er looked at Du Ruhui curiously. This person was his minister and confidant.
Generally, if there is any problem, I will not hide it from myself.
Du Ruhui thought for a while and said, "I seem to have remembered it. I seem to have heard before that there was a restaurant in Chang'an that also raised wild boar, and the number was quite large. But..."
"oh?"
Li Er frowned, looking at Du Ruhui's expression, he seemed to have something hidden.
Are there any hidden dangers in raising mountain pigs?
Empress Changsun was also slightly nervous. Everything else was easy to say, but don’t let anything happen to the child.
Only Li Sheng smiled slightly.
He guessed what Du Ruhui was going to say.
…
"Actually, this restaurant also made several dishes using wild boar meat to entertain an important person from the Cui family."
"After a banquet, the guests and hosts rejoiced, and because the dishes were so exquisite, they even wrote a poem."
"but……"
"Later, the restaurant continued to raise wild boars, but a plague broke out!"
"All the wild boars they raised died."
"The owner of the restaurant was unwilling to fail. He tried many times, but the result was the same every time. As time passed, he gave up."
Du Ruhui sighed softly after speaking.
What year is it now? The war has just subsided.
The people now have an environment where they can farm their land with peace of mind, and it is time to think about how to improve their lives.
But now, the Turks have repeatedly invaded the country.
If we have to raise troops and defend the territory, how can the people have extra food to raise sheep? It takes two or three pigs to raise one sheep.
But raising pigs is not easy, as they often die from plague and disease.
If a pig dies of illness, if the restaurant can still afford it, if ordinary people lose a pig, their entire year's income will be lost.
This idea is very good, but it is false that Du Ruhui is not moved by it.
but……
It's not feasible after all!
Li Er naturally understood what Du Ruhui was thinking.
Thousands of words, one long sigh.
But at this moment,
Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"There is indeed a risk of disease and death in raising pigs, but that is because of improper strategies."
"If the method is right, ordinary people can also raise pigs to supplement their family income!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Er and Du Ruhui immediately opened their eyes.
"Oh? How do you say this?!"
…
Li Sheng could certainly see the excitement of Li Er and Du Ruhui.
I thought these two people were businessmen, so it was a bit funny to be so excited when they heard that pork could be farmed. However, everyone was quite happy together, and Li Sheng was not interested in hiding it. Anyway, it was just a superficial farming technology!
So I talked to the two of them.
"Whether it's raising pigs, chickens, ducks, or anything else."
"First of all, the first rule is that this pen must be cleaned and no dirt or evil can be hidden there!"
Li Sheng finished this sentence.
Li Er and Du Ruhui were both startled.
They really... have never heard that even raising livestock requires cleaning!
This perspective is quite fresh!
"Second, the pens of these animals must not be lazy, allowing many animals to mix. They must be separated and isolated, so as to avoid the situation where one pig becomes infected and the entire pen is affected!"
"third……"
"fourth……"
Li Sheng made a statement and spoke eloquently.
Although it is just a small skill in raising pigs, but...
It was related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and what Li Sheng said was so precise and logical that Li Er and Du Ruhui were fascinated by it.
Look at each other and smile.
This is a good way to improve people’s livelihood!
"Finally, if the situation is discovered and treated as soon as possible, antibiotics must be used instead."
…
It took a lot of time for Li Sheng to finish speaking, but he didn't feel that popularizing science was tiring.
Mainly because now he is used to giving people science information at any time.
Secondly, at this dinner table, we have to talk about something anyway.
But until he said the last sentence,
Li Er and Du Ruhui, who had looked excited at first, suddenly froze.
It seemed like I heard something important.
They all looked at Li Sheng.
"Uh, sir, what did you say just now... what should I use for the pigs?"
“What are antibiotics?”
Li Er was confused, but it sounded like this thing was very important.
It can effectively solve the plague problem.
But Du Ruhui suddenly remembered something.
At the same time, Li Junxian also frowned, and Queen Changsun also frowned.
antibiotic.
Where have you heard this word before?
Isn’t this...a panacea for His Majesty???
This thing can cure typhoid fever and is obviously worth a lot of money. How could it be given to pigs????
"Wait a minute, Young Master said... if the pigs you raise get the plague, you need to use anti-... penicillin to treat it?"
Li Sheng nodded.
"Yes, penicillin is an antibiotic that is effective against all infections. Not only typhoid fever, but also a large number of human and animal plagues, it has miraculous effects!"
Du Ruhui was immediately dumbfounded.
His Majesty took medicine two days ago. Everyone knows that penicillin has miraculous effects.
You actually said it was used to raise pigs?
Is this because I wish all the farmers in the world would die??...
