The so-called "Postpartum Care of Sows" was a sacred book even in the previous life. It contained not only postpartum care of sows, but also how to prevent diseases, how to raise pigs more scientifically, and pig manure.

Wait for a series of processing methods.

This is the essence of the twentieth century.

With this book, most of the problems in pig raising can be effectively solved.

At this moment, when the pig raising industry has completely begun.

This magical book can naturally be put to use.

From this day on, there were several more pig sheds in the young manor.

A large number of piglets were raised.

The Young Master couldn't help but be a little worried about this. Even as a Young Master, the food they could use was limited. Especially in this calamity year, if the Young Master used too much food, he would definitely be punished by Li Shimin.

Fortunately, this worry did not last long.

The piglets are basically fed pig grass at first.

As the time gradually entered the end of the month, the news that Shaofu purchased Locust completely spread.

Large numbers of locusts began to be bought back.

Thirty cents per pound.

Such a price is undoubtedly crazy.

During this period, most people began to enter the farmland, and locusts began to be caught in the mountains.

Locusts grow very quickly.

A few days are enough for it to molt again.

Compared with before, the locusts outside are almost the same size as the locusts in the greenhouse.

It's just obvious that these locusts can't continue to grow.

Only one was caught.

Then it was dried.

The temperature in April has warmed up a bit. Although it won't be possible to dry it in one day, it can still be completed in two or three days.

These dried locusts will be wrapped in clothes or rags and sent to the Shaofu for exchange.

About three hundred dried locusts only weigh one pound.

If an adult man is serious about catching, he can catch about a hundred of them in one day. If the whole family goes together, it is enough to catch three hundred of them in one day, which is thirty cents.

Thirty Wen.

For them, it is already a huge amount of money. If they did not have to consider farmland issues, everyone would want to put down all their farming work and go catch locusts.

But even so, catching a pound in two or three days is not a big problem.

If you calculate this, you can earn a hundred yuan a month.

It's exciting enough.

When April passes with gradual warming.

May has just arrived, and locust sales have already arrived in Shaofu.

Of course, the first people to arrive at Shaofu for selling were people from Chang'an.

A package of dried locusts was taken out.

The weighing begins immediately and the transaction is completed.

The Shaofu has already experienced this after experiencing the Dilong and Baimao incidents.

The common people have no doubts.

"A total of three catties and two taels and eight cents, so I'll give you three catties and three taels."

"Well, here are ninety-five articles."

In the West Market, the purchase stall specially set up by Shaofu was overcrowded at this time, and most of them were carrying huge packages.

The voices of the young officials in the Shaofu kept ringing.

The people who got the money were very happy.

A few can get thirty or forty coins, and a few can even get hundreds of coins.

And that's just a matter of time.

If it lasts longer, the harvest will undoubtedly be greater.

Especially now, locusts are constantly hatching and growing. As the temperature gradually increases, a large number of locusts begin to appear throughout Guanzhong.

Fortunately, the number of locusts in the farmland has decreased significantly after being gnawed to death by chickens and ducks. However, the number of locusts in the jungle has not decreased at all, and is still increasing. If it cannot be contained, when these locusts completely turn into

As adults and lay eggs, the locust plague in the coming year may reach unprecedented levels.

But at this moment, it has become the best source of income for the people.

A large number of people began to be captured, first from the farmland and then in the wild.

As long as you see locusts.

Then there is only one result, arrest.

Under this situation, the number of locusts in Shaofu is also increasing.

One pound, ten pounds.

One hundred catties.

Soon the quantity exceeded a thousand catties.

"Grind them into powder and add them to the pigweed."

As he spoke, Li Ming issued orders one after another.

At this time, the number of piglets in Shaofu has officially exceeded 300, and it is still increasing.

Because the Shaofu is still buying piglets from outside.

At the same time, the specially reserved breeding pig finally became pregnant at this moment.

Pigs are multi-parity animals, and the number of litters per litter is generally between 5 and 15. The number of pigs born is mainly related to the breed.

Most of the general varieties have about 11 heads. The highest number is about 15 heads.

Nowadays, it is not a high-yielding sow. There are only about seven or eight sows in one litter.

Li Ming was very dissatisfied with this.

"Send someone to the south to see if there is a kind of white pig, and bring some back to me."

He opened his mouth and gave an order to the young supervisor.

If my memory serves me well, the modern white pig is a cross between the large white pig native to Northern England and the smaller and fatter Chinese white pig.

Nowadays, it is naturally impossible to obtain white pigs from England, so we can only find a way from China to see if new pig breeds can be bred.

Otherwise, it is still almost impossible to breed this type of pig on a large scale.

"By the way, you can also get some rice from the south. It needs to be big enough and tall enough."

As if thinking of something, Li Ming added another sentence.

Now that he had an idea, Li Ming couldn't help but think about another artifact from his previous life.

If we say potatoes and sweet potatoes, it may solve the food problem.

Then that artifact completely solved the famine problem.

Although in this era.

It feels a bit unreliable to do that.

You have nothing to lose by trying it.

"No!"

The young supervisor nodded and responded directly.

Leave soon.

After giving the instructions, Li Ming continued to start his pig-raising career.

Ideas are just ideas after all, and you never know when you want them to take shape.

The road still needs to be walked step by step.

The same is true for raising pigs.

With the addition of locusts, raising pigs will undoubtedly become smoother.

Pigs also grow faster.

Just pigweed, in a few months, a little pig will change very little.

For example, the dozen piglets he fed before are now a lot bigger and extremely thin. This is because earthworms were added to them, otherwise they would be smaller before.

But now, after feeding locusts, in just less than seven or eight days, the pigs have grown significantly larger, and their original skinny size has gradually become fuller.

I believe that the piglets will be released faster than the original process.

It will definitely be ready for sale within a year.

In the previous life, pigs could be ready for slaughter in less than one month. But in that previous life, there were various feeds and high-yielding pigs. Now more than a thousand years ago, it usually took two or even three years to raise pigs.

Only time can produce enough results.
