Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

【After passing through the Forestry Department, King Ying Zheng of Qin, Prince Fusu and others continued to the Animal Husbandry Department, one of the six departments of the Ministry of Agriculture. This department is mainly responsible for researching and optimizing the breeding methods of various poultry and livestock.】

【"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please look, this is the Animal Husbandry Department"】.

【"According to the different types of livestock, we have also divided different livestock farms."】

【"For example, we have farms for the six common domestic animals: cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens."】

【"Each farm also has a team of farmers who are responsible for feeding and researching the animals, and they record the changes in the feeding conditions of the animals every day."】

【"The first thing we passed was a pig farm. The black pigs were fierce and aggressive, and they ate a lot and also pooped a lot, often leaving pig feces all over the farm."】

【"So when we pass by the pig farm, the smell will be stronger. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Highness."】

【Xu Zi still stood in front, leading the way, and introduced】

【When King Ying Zheng of Qin and Prince Fusu heard what Xu Zi said, they nodded slightly to show their understanding.】

【And to put it bluntly, no matter how disgusting a pig farm is, can it be more disgusting than the fertilizer group that previously specialized in studying various types of feces?】

【In the past, when facing the fertilizer group that was studying various kinds of feces, Qin Wang Ying Zheng and Crown Prince Fusu were able to remain calm and composed, not to mention the smell of pig feces.】

【In addition, with Xu Zi's advance warning, when they stepped into the pig farm and smelled the peculiar smell of pig manure, King Ying Zheng of Qin and Crown Prince Fusu did not show any strange color.】

【Even Qin Wang Ying Zheng and Crown Prince Fusu took the initiative to observe the black pigs in captivity through the fence.】

【Seeing this, Xu Zi, who was standing by, also explained to the two of them:"Although the black pig is fierce and aggressive, it grows faster and bigger than a sheep."】

【"However, the black pig meat has a strong smell, and it is difficult to eat without heavy seasoning."】

【"At present, we, the farmers, have two research interests in black pigs."】

【"One is to study how to make black pigs more docile and easier to keep in captivity."】

【"Another is to study how to make the smell of pig meat less strong and more palatable."】

【"However, there has been no good progress in these two studies."】

【Prince Fusu raised his head, looked at Xu Zi beside him and asked,"What do the black pigs usually fight about? Have you studied this clearly, you farm boy?"】

【Xu Zi nodded and replied,"Yes, according to our observations and research, black pigs are most likely to fight when they are in heat and eating."】

【"The reason why fighting occurs during estrus is that there are more male pigs than female pigs."】

【"So in order to compete for their own female pigs, let other male pigs know how powerful they are, and also to show their strength in front of female pigs, they will fight each other."】

【"We have considered putting an equal number of male and female pigs in the same farm."】

【"In this way, a male pig can mate with a female pig, and the male pigs no longer need to fight for the female pig."】

【"However, this idea failed in the end, because even if we invested the same number of male and female pigs, once the male pigs entered the estrus period, they would still continue to fight."】

【"Fights during feeding are purely because some strong black pigs want to eat more, so they will grab the food of other relatively thin black pigs, and then fight with each other."】

【"In this case, we usually give the black pig more food."】

【"Or when feeding, use fences to separate the pigs vertically so that each pig can only eat its own food and cannot compete for the food of other pigs."】

【"It can also control and reduce the fights between black pigs due to food grabbing."】

【"In addition to these two most common fights, sometimes black pigs will suddenly start fighting when they are playing with each other."】

【"However, this kind of fight is not as serious as the previous two. It is more like a game."】

【Prince Fusu pointed to the pig farm, where a relatively stronger pig was lying in a corner, but its temperament was obviously more obedient than the surrounding black pigs, and asked,"Are those pigs female?"】

【"Are female pigs more docile in temperament?"】

【Hearing Prince Fusu's question, Xu Zi thought for a moment and nodded,"Yes, those pigs are indeed female pigs."】

【"In addition, the female pig is indeed as His Highness said, with a more docile temperament and not fond of fighting."】

【After hearing Xu Zi's answer, Prince Fusu once again stared at the black pigs fighting because of estrus, and gradually fell into deep thought.】

【Seeing this scene, Xu Zi also looked at Prince Fusu with anticipation.】

【Because before Prince Fusu invented the plow and improved the curved plow, he was also in a state of deep thought.】

【After Prince Fusu came to his senses, he invented the plow and improved the curved plow.】

【Therefore, with the precedent of inventing the plow and improving the curved plow, Xu Zi immediately placed his hopes on Prince Fusu.】

【After all, Crown Prince Fusu is naturally intelligent. They have not been able to think of a solution to these two problems for the time being. Maybe Crown Prince Fusu will really suddenly think of an idea!】

【Not only Xu Zi, but also the King of Qin���Zheng, as well as other accompanying peasant children, Mohist children, and other personnel, also focused their attention on the Crown Prince Fusu, who was currently deep in thought.】

【They all held their breath and dared not speak again, fearing that they would interrupt Prince Fusu's thoughts without paying attention.】

【For a moment, in the huge pig farm, apart from the roar of the black pigs, there was no sound of other people talking.】

【After a long while, Prince Fusu finally raised his head and said,"Castration!"】

【Hearing what Prince Fusu said, Xu Zi didn’t react for a moment, and murmured,"Castration?"】

【Prince Fusu explained:"It means to castrate a pig!"】

【"Since a male pig and a female pig are paired together, it is impossible to prevent the black pigs from fighting because of estrus."】

【"Then just castrate the male pig!"】

【"Let the male pig lose its reproductive organs and see if it can continue to be in heat after losing its reproductive organs!"】

【"I think she will not continue to be in heat. After all, she has no reproductive organs anymore, so what is the point of fighting in heat?"】

【"By then, the male pigs should be able to be more docile like the female pigs."】

【"With less fighting caused by estrus, the male boars will be able to eat and grow meat more peacefully, and maybe even grow more meat!"】

【Hearing the words of Prince Fusu, everyone present changed their expressions slightly, felt a chill in their crotch, and couldn't help but quietly took a breath of cold air.】

【After all, everyone present is a serious man.】

【Even a eunuch like Zhao Gao was not a castrate.】

【In this era, eunuchs are still a very small group.】

【The so-called castration, in this era, is more of a punishment.】

【However, after a brief surprise, Xu Zi thought carefully about what Prince Fusu said and felt that what Prince Fusu said made sense.】

【After all, the reason why black pigs are so fierce and aggressive is because they are in heat and fighting for food.】

【Not to mention the food snatching, they can barely control and solve this problem.】

【As for being in heat, to put it bluntly, isn't it for the sake of having offspring?】

【If you just remove the black pig's roots, what else will the black pig use to get in heat?】

【If they cannot go into estrus, then the fighting caused by estrus can naturally be controlled and reduced.】

【Thinking of this, Xu Zi was also eager to make a move, and looked at Prince Fusu and asked:"Your Highness, how do you think we should castrate the pig?"】

【Hearing this, Prince Fusu also said helplessly:"Master Xu, everyone has their own expertise. For things like pig slaughtering, you should ask the butcher, the butcher is the real expert."】

【Xu Zi immediately slapped his head. He was the one who made a mistake.】

【The overly superior performance of Prince Fusu not only made him ignore his age, but also, to some extent, made him regard Prince Fusu as an omniscient and omnipotent being.】

【Thinking of this, Xu Zi looked at the farmer's son who was responsible for researching and raising black pigs and ordered:"Go find a few butchers who know how to castrate and emasculate some of the black pigs later."】

【"Then observe the castrated black pigs to see if their temperament becomes more docile, or if they show signs of estrus or fighting."】

【Several farm boys who were responsible for the research of raising black pigs nodded and said,"Yes, Xu Zi!"】

【Prince Fusu, who was standing by, gave his own advice again:"For those black pigs that need to be castrated, it is best to choose black pigs of different ages."】

【"For example, a black pig born five days old, a black pig born ten days old, a black pig born fifteen days old......Until the black pig is two or three months old"】

【"See how the growth of black pigs that were castrated and emasculated at different growth stages differs."】

【"From these, we can choose a time period for castration or emasculation that will have the least impact, will allow the black pig to recover the fastest, and will also grow the most meat in the future."】

【"In this way, the black pigs can be castrated and emasculated at a certain time after they are born."】

【The farm boys who were in charge of researching and raising black pigs also nodded to Crown Prince Fusu and said,"Yes, Your Highness!"】

【"We must find out the most suitable time period for castration and emasculation of black pigs!"】

【After that, several farm boys who were in charge of raising black pigs discussed with each other and then divided the work and cooperated with each other.】

【Finally, two of the farm boys who were responsible for the research and breeding of black pigs continued to stay here to find the black pigs that would be castrated and emasculated later.】

【The other three farm boys who were in charge of raising black pigs walked out excitedly, ready to go outside Shanglin Garden to find a few butchers who knew how to castrate and emasculate pigs.】

【After all, none of the six ministers of the crown prince in Shanglin Garden knew how to castrate or emasculate a black pig.】

【After leaving the pig farm, King Ying Zheng of Qin looked at Prince Fusu and asked,"How did you know about castration and emasculation?"】

【Logically speaking, Prince Fusu is only six and a half years old now, and he should not know about castration.】

【Of course, King Qin Ying Zheng did not think that Prince Fusu should not know about castration and emasculation.】

【Instead, they felt that Prince Fusu was still young, and they were worried that if he knew all these things too early, it would have a negative impact on him.】

【Prince Fusu did not notice the hidden worry behind his father's words, and answered directly and briskly:"I saw it in the book. The farmer's words that Master Xu taught before briefly talked about this aspect."】

【King Qin Ying Zheng nodded slightly and did not continue the topic.】

【After all, regardless of whether or not Prince Fusu of this age should be exposed to or see content about castration and emasculation, Prince Fusu has already been exposed to it and has also read it.】

【He doesn't waste time dwelling on the past that has already happened and cannot be changed.】

【However, as for the other schools of thought that Prince Fusu will learn in the future, should he review them in advance to prevent Prince Fusu from continuing to learn some messy content by mistake?】

【This point was kept in mind by him.】.
