Chapter 565: Brewing hard, raising pigs hard

"Ah-too much food is also a trouble!" Marin shook his head and sighed.

If other princes learn of Marin's sigh, it is estimated that they will angrily form a German coalition to come together and beat Marin, and then press Marlin on the ground, rubbing hard, and rubbing while saying:

"Call you to pretend to be B! Call you pretend to be B ..."

But Marin is really not pretending, but really troubled. As a German princely state, the food in Marin's hands is indeed too much. It is not a simple matter to double the grain output. Originally, the yield per mu was only more than 100 pounds of rye field, and the nobles' income per mu was only about 50 pounds. Therefore, nobles need a lot of arable land in order to barely maintain a luxurious noble life.

Comalin's use of advanced agricultural and fertilizer technologies in later generations has doubled the output of rye, leading to a new problem-oversupply.

In general, if Marin puts these grains on the market normally, it will definitely cause grain price turbulence and plunge.

But Marin did not dare. Although he has elite troops of 40,000 troops, the secret of doubling the grain output is expected to arouse the interest of all monarchs in Europe. Therefore, Marin can only secretly sell food, and mainly sells to foreign countries. Otherwise, Marin is very likely to be beaten by monarchs all over Europe ...

Therefore, despite the full grain, Marin still carefully controlled the sale of grain, to avoid excessive shipments, causing suspicion in other countries.

However, too much food was put in the warehouse, and Marin was worried. You know, in Marin's warehouse, the grain stock reached more than 1 billion pounds. Moreover, many of these more than 1 billion pounds of rye are the old grains of the previous year and last year.

Although rye can be kept for three to five years after it is dried, it can be kept there, and it will be easily deteriorated and aged ...

Therefore, how to deal with the old grain of the previous year has become a matter of special importance to Marin. Because if you do n’t deal with it, it will get worse ...

...

As mentioned before, Marin has long been eyeing the brewing industry ...

Ancient Europeans were very wonderful. Before the British introduced tea as a beverage and developed the habit of drinking tea, if Europeans were thirsty, they would like to go to a pub for a drink. Nobles drink red wine naturally, and many people like to use authentic beer with hops. Ordinary laborers, I am afraid, can only drink those sour inferior beers. But even so, after working, Europeans still like to drink, no matter what brand ...

Europeans love drinking so much, so Marin believes that taking out a lot of grain to make wine is not only profitable, but also does not worry about sales. At the same time, selling wine is much more hidden than selling food directly. Who cares about the per mu yield of land for the wine sellers?

In addition to Germany's most classic dark beer, some of the extra grain can also be selected for brewing spirits with higher degrees such as brandy. The Europeans like to have a drink if they have nothing to do. Those wines can still be sold. In addition, you can continue to purify and get alcohol for medical use.

As it happens, Marin now has a timber purchase agreement with Denmark. At that time, oak imported from Norway can be used to make oak barrels for winemaking. It seems that Europeans make wine and like to use oak barrels. It seems that wine made from oak barrels tastes best ...

Based on the amount of food that Marin currently has in his hands, it is estimated that the output will be very large. Therefore, it is difficult to consume too much food by making wine alone. After all, the brewing cycle is quite long.

Therefore, after repeated thinking, Marin decided that while vigorously brewing wine, he could also take out a lot of food and use it to raise pigs ...

Yes, raising pigs ...

Perhaps it is too extravagant to feed pigs with fresh food. However, there is nothing to say about feeding pigs with Chen Liang. Moreover, it is not to feed the pigs with food every day. In general, wheat bran with wheat grains is sufficient for pig feed.

Under normal circumstances, it is sufficient to use straw bran obtained by crushing straw as pig feed. Only those pigs that need fattening will be fed with nutritious pig feed such as wheat bran.

Of course, Marin is in a special situation now and has too much food to eat. Therefore, Marin now has the conditions to use a large amount of aged grain, which is crushed and used as an important feed for pig breeding.

Previously, Marin had pig farms in East Friesland that were already small. The total number of captive breeding has reached more than 6,000. Now, Marin can take out so much old grain and continue to expand the scale of raising pigs, which is not a problem at all.

However, what makes Marin depressed is that the quality of European domestic pigs is poor ...

In this era, European domestic pigs have less reminders, and some European domestic pigs also have fangs, some like wild boar. Although the taste of this pork is not bad. But Marin understands more clearly-as a domestic pig, size and growth rate are the most important. Such as European domestic pigs, in this case, the size is small, and it takes two years to grow up. It is definitely a lower-class domestic pig.

In addition, European domestic pigs have poor fertility in this era, and sows can only produce five or six piglets per litter, and the level is simply bad. You should know that during the Ming Dynasty, Taihu pigs in the Taihu Basin, sows can normally produce more than 12 piglets per litter. Many, can even produce 20 piglets. Moreover, its growth rate is much faster than the domestic pigs in Europe at this time, and the growth cycle is twice as fast as that of European pigs within a year.

As a result, in the same time, the production and population expansion capacity of Taihu pigs is more than four times that of European domestic pigs, which is naturally far superior to European domestic pigs of this era. Moreover, later generations of European domestic pigs did indeed introduce domestic Taihu pigs and improved European domestic pig breeds.

Marin intends to next, after opening the Daming route, take the opportunity to send people in the Taihu Lake area south of Daming to look for Taihu pigs. Then, select the best pair of boars and sows and ship them back to Europe. Then, this kind of domestic pig with faster growth ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ reproductive ability is introduced into the Grand Duchy of Beihai to facilitate the development of the pig industry.

Only when the scale of raising pigs expands rapidly and there are more pigs will the supply of pork be greatly increased to meet domestic demand. When there is more pork, more people can eat meat. The Germans are also thin and weak, and their height is not high. Only if sufficient nutrition is supplemented, can the people grow taller and stronger. Then, when you fight bayonet on the battlefield, you can be more dominant ...

Among the Germans now, apart from those from the Cavaliers family, many people can reach 1.8 meters because of genetic problems and better family living conditions. For ordinary civilians, many people can't reach 1. 7 meters. Very different from later generations of Europeans.

It's no wonder that later generations of Europe are developed regions, people have a high standard of living, eating steaks and drinking milk every day, men generally have a height of about 1.8 meters (except for naturally small southern Europeans, such as Spanish).

Nowadays, the living conditions of ordinary people in Europe are extremely poor. Many people may not even be able to eat black loaf bread mixed with mud and stones. They can only eat black porridge mixed with messy things like rye and wild vegetables . If you hold such a thing, if you can grow taller, then there will be ghosts.

Therefore, only by letting the people eat bread, eating pork and salted fish from time to time, and then drinking more milk during the development period, naturally grows higher.

Therefore, it is a good thing for the country and the people to vigorously develop the pig industry with sufficient feed ...

Sorry, I woke up again after falling asleep. It ’s been half an hour to say yes, and it ’s become two hours. I ’m so sorry. It's so cold, I have to go to bed ...
