Chapter 466: Your Highness, hurry up and conquer the grassland(2/2)
Outside the fence, it became somewhat silent.
"Germs are things that are invisible to the naked eye but exist in fact and can cause illness."
With a chuckle, Zhu Yunxi walked over from the field ridge and looked at the group of Shanglinyuan Supervision officials who had turned from agriculturists to zoologists.
Yuan Sutai twitched his brows and immediately turned around and bowed down.
"We are here to see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. Your Highness is here. However, I am unable to greet you from afar and have lost my courtesy."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hands and came to the crowd with laughter: "Young Master brings Supervisor Shanglin Yuan to attend state affairs. You don't have to worry about such false etiquette. I heard Young Master talk about germs, and I wonder what Supervisor Shanglin Yuan is dealing with today."
Yuan Sutai smiled. It may be unfortunate for some people to have such a prince in the country, but it is definitely lucky for the vast majority of people.
He quite sighed: "I and others are currently exploring the large-scale breeding of cattle and sheep, but I don't know what the germ is. I have to be released by His Highness to find out. I'm ashamed of myself."
"This is medical knowledge. It's understandable that the young master didn't know." Zhu Yunxi said casually, walked to the fence of the paddock, patted the table and looked at the separated cattle and sheep in the paddock: "Germs belong to the category of bacteria.
They are all things that are invisible to our naked eyes but exist, just like penicillin, which can only appear before our eyes after it has been cultivated."
Hearing this detailed explanation, Yuan Sutai immediately became interested. It happened that he was currently trapped in cattle and sheep and needed to be raised in groups. The emperor's grandson knew this, so naturally he was not willing to ask for advice.
Yuan Sutai asked: "I have been quarreling with the imperial hospital. The advice given by the Shuiyuan envoy is that if Shanglin Yuanjian wants to raise a large number of cattle, sheep and other livestock, they must be separated. Is it because of the existence of this germ that this is the reason for this?"
?”
Following Yuan Sutai's inquiry, all the officials present at the Shanglin Garden Supervisor also showed their desire for knowledge, and they were even more amazed in their hearts. The emperor's grandson was in a high position and was a nobleman, but he knew all these things.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Livestock cannot be raised as meticulously and cleanly as humans. Death from germs is relatively mild. If not handled properly, it may even cause a plague."
"Yeah!"
When Zhu Yunxi just finished saying that it would cause a plague, the Shanglinyuan Supervisor official who was in contact with the Taiyuan Hospital nodded repeatedly and widened his eyes: "The Taiyuan Hospital said the same thing, and the Shuiyuan envoy also emphasized that I should wait.
Before cattle and sheep are raised on a larger scale, they must be kept separately, and the pens must be cleaned in a timely manner and dead cattle and sheep must be disposed of.”
Yuan Sutai frowned: "Currently, the number of cattle and sheep in Shanglinyuan is only a few hundred. If we continue to raise them, the pens and paddocks will take up more space. If we want to prevent germs from causing plague, we need more careful breeding."
Zhu Yunxi frowned and looked at Yuan Sutai who was trying to feed all the people of the Ming Dynasty. He hummed and said: "We must set all the rules and clarify all the steps. Starting from the cattle and sheep, we must divide them into batches."
Step by step to raise.”
Large-scale livestock breeding had never occurred in the Central Plains at this time.
Farming is a career passed down from generation to generation in the Central Plains.
But if you want to feed everyone and make future Akito physically different from others, protein needs to be ensured.
Yuan Sutai pondered for a long time.
Suddenly he raised his head, his eyes flickering, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was thinking about whether the Ming Dynasty was going to have a protein war.
Yuan Sutai spoke softly: "The pastures outside the Pass, Monan, and Mobei are the most suitable for large-scale raising of cattle and sheep..."
The eyes of this young master, who now had the highest official position in the entire Ming Dynasty, were full of confusion and expectation, and his twinkling eyes were filled with countless unspoken suggestions.
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
He did not expect that Yuan Sutai, an old man who was dedicated to feeding the Ming Dynasty, would actually start to encourage himself to conquer the grasslands outside the pass.
