After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Mu Qing quickly cut with his knife, and he and Li Min castrated the other piglets in one day.

Not only the pigs in the farms need to be castrated, but also the pigs raised by other residents in Anping need to be castrated.

These twenty-odd piglets were castrated today, and their physical condition will continue to be checked later.

If the disinfection work is done properly, there should be no infection or death. Mu Qing will not promote castration of pigs until these piglets can run, jump and eat happily.

Pig pens and chicken and duck pens are often disinfected with electrolyzed brine.

Mu Qing had just come to check on the piglets that had been castrated yesterday in the morning, and saw that Jiang Ji had already electrolyzed all the water.

Mu Qing recruited several experienced pig farmers and people who had raised chickens and ducks to manage the farm.

The manure from the farm can be reused in the fertilizer plant.

The septic tank of the fertilizer plant actually produces biogas.

After the pipelines are laid, the biogas can also be used for cooking. Biogas is a secondary energy source and a renewable energy source.

"Livestocking-biogas planting", "pig-biogas-fish" and "grass-cow-biogas" are all good agricultural ecological models.

In addition to biogas, honeycomb coal can also be made and used for cooking, which is also good. I will discuss this with my senior brother when the time comes.

One month after the piglets were castrated, they did not have any major health problems. At most, they were a little uncomfortable at first, but eventually they became docile.

Only after watching the pigs in the farm grow up little by little did Mu Qing start writing official documents.

Soon the farm will have a batch of fat white pigs ready for sale, so that Anping's pigs will grow bigger and fatter next year.

Mu Qing revised the official document several times before asking Yuehong to post the newly released castration pig promotion plan in the public notice area.

Piglets should be castrated while they are still cute, so that delicious pork can be served on the table.

The Ministry of Agriculture is under the management of Master Xu, and Mu Qing is temporarily the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Animal husbandry belongs to the agricultural industry and is also under the management of Master Xu.

However, Master Xu was unable to manage it and there was still a vacancy in this management position, so Mu Qing pulled Jiang Ji in.

Anyway, Second Brother has to come to the farm every day, so I believe he won’t refuse to take on the part-time job.

Official documents promoting the policy were posted on bulletin boards. In addition to this main propaganda function, other government officials also had to take action.

In particular, the newly added animal husbandry falls within the scope of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture must go to Anping to promote the policies issued by Mu Qing.

In particular, we need to mobilize all large pig-raising households in Anping, as well as households from the county to the village level that raise pigs, to promote the policy.

The county where Xiong Neng is located is Mingde County.

Since the entire Zhao family was exiled to the Mingde County mine, the land of the people in Mingde County has been gradually redeemed.

There were fields to plant, and around the Qingming Festival, they all went to the county government to get new rice seeds. According to County Magistrate Zhang, these rice seeds were brought by Lord Mu himself, and their yield was higher than that of millet.

They planted half of the field with rice and the other half with millet and soybeans.

Mingde County was under Mu Qing's jurisdiction. Zhang Dahe built a soil and fertilizer factory and raised a group of sheep in Mingde County.

A month ago, Anping set up a breeding farm. Zhang Dahe sent people to Anping to learn advanced breeding techniques. After returning, he also set up a pilot project in Xiaowa Village, Mingde County.

The people of Xiaowa Village live a similar life to the people in Mingde County and Huang County.

Xiong Neng is a villager of Xiaowa Village. He used to raise pigs for the Zhao family in Mingde County and had some experience in pig farming. So Zhang Dahe brought Xiong Neng to Xiaowa Village to be the manager of the pilot pig farm.

After receiving the official document about Mu Qing's promotion of castration of pigs yesterday, Zhang Dahe went to Mingde County to inform all the large pig farmers.

After raising pigs for so many years, Xiong Neng had never heard of castrating pigs. They generally did not eat the pigs raised by the Zhao family. After all, pork was sour and fishy.

This pig is usually eaten by the housekeepers and servants.

But Xiong Neng was very envious of the pigs that they looked down upon.

He had eaten pork, which was sour but still meat.

This time, County Magistrate Zhang said he wanted them to castrate the pigs.

Although Xiong Neng didn't know why castration would make pigs fat, he knew that he was the one raising the pigs in Xiaowa Village.

The pigs are not raised for nothing. Xiong Neng and the whole village raise them together. When the pigs can be sold, Xiong will get the lion's share, and the rest of the money will be given to the people of Xiaowa Village.

As long as the pigs get fatter, he can make more money.

The benefits and methods of castration of pigs are clearly written in the official documents. In a few days, Anping will send special technical personnel to Mingde County to teach the doctors and butchers here how to castrate pigs.

Mu Qingcai had just incorporated "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" into medical textbooks. The first batch of graduates from the provincial school had not yet graduated, so a group of barefoot doctors had to be trained first.

Mu Qing brought this technology to night school. Those in the factory who were interested in studying medicine went to the night school every day to attend classes and take exams. As long as they passed the exam, Mu Qing would distribute graduation certificates.

In this day and age, being a doctor is much more promising than being a factory worker. After all, doctors can open their own clinics.

Mu Qing didn't expect them to be able to treat serious illnesses. He just needed them to memorize the cases in the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and prescribe some Chinese medicine for colds and flu.

Mu Qing would not let these graduating barefoot doctors treat serious illnesses, but instead told them to send the patients to the clinic in Anping or the county.

Barefoot doctors were mainly stationed in the villages and their salaries were paid by the Mu government.

It’s just that the current batch of barefoot doctors has not yet been trained.

Castration of pigs involves certain basic surgical operations, and most doctors of that era were gynecologists.

In the Zhou Dynasty, medicine was divided into four categories: food, diseases, ulcers, and animals.

Food doctors are usually found in royal families and aristocratic families.

"The Book of Zhou: Celestial Officials: Veterinarian" records: "Veterinarians are responsible for treating animal diseases and ulcers."

There are many internal medicine doctors in Anping, but few ulcer doctors, not to mention veterinary doctors.

In this era, people had few other income sources besides farming. They could barely feed themselves, let alone have leftovers to feed chickens and pigs.

Even when the weather is good, every household in the countryside will only raise a few chickens on a small scale, and slaughter the chickens to celebrate during the New Year and other festivals.

Most of them were reluctant to eat the eggs laid by the hens, but would exchange them for money for household use.

Therefore, there are very few veterinarians in rural areas, not to mention a place like Anping, which is originally poor. There may be only one or two folk veterinarians in the county.

The butcher does not know medicine but he can kill pigs and understands the physiological structure of pigs, so he can bring the knowledge of raising castrated pigs.

There are not many doctors in Anping.

The doctor is a gynecologist and understands medical knowledge. In the future, Mu Qing will promote Western medicine and surgery in Anping.

Castration of pigs is for training in the future.

The two groups of people were called together at the same time. Although the butcher did not understand the use of castrated pigs, it was Lord Mu who ordered it after all.

Pig castration is to be promoted throughout the entire Anping city. Maybe in the future all piglets will have to be castrated. In this way, they think it would be a good idea to learn an extra skill.

The doctors were not happy.

"Castrate a pig? Let's go castrate a pig?"

Doctor Xu, who is fifty years old this year, has run a clinic in Mingde County for many years. He used to treat members of the Zhao family. He opened the clinic in Mingde County after the Zhao family disappeared.

He was already old, and when he learned that Mu Qing asked them to learn about castration of pigs, he was so angry that he almost died.

"I treat people, not pigs!"

He thought about having to castrate the pig, and he felt angry and wronged:

"I am already old, what's the point of this?"
