Chapter 13: Disciple

Once, Marin worked for a period of sales, although not particularly outstanding, but also successfully developed a mouth that can talk about the flicker.
中世纪 Europe in the Middle Ages was a society with a very closed message. Even the wise Mrs. Mary can only say that she is a lot smarter than ordinary people, but she is not an opponent of Marin who has been baptized with massive information.
In the story fabricated by Marin, he himself became a "skeleton clear" boy with a protagonist halo, and was spotted by the learned monk named Einstein (Khan ...). After a simple test, this great man named Einstein imparted all his knowledge and knowledge to Marin ...
"You mean, it took only one month for that Daxian to pass on all the knowledge to you?"
"Yes!" Marin wanted to say it was two or three months, but after leaving the house for a month, he received Kahn and Kohler two second goods. After that, both the two goods were clear, and it was not easy to make up.
"What can you learn in just one month?" Mrs. Mary was not so careless.
呃 "Uh ... Master Einstein taught me a lot of things, let me slowly digest, I still only partially digest it."
"What you just said is part of your digestion?"
"Far more than that, what I just said is just some information and a lot of useful scientific knowledge!" Marin pretended to be proud. Because, 16-year-olds should be like this.
举 "For example?" The old Huffman interjected.
"Well, the problem of cattle farming."
"Farming cattle?" Old Huffman felt a little strange.
"Well, yes. We know that in Europa, most people use horses instead of cattle. The main reason is that the cattle have a strong temper. Those young, energetic bulls, because they are too tempered, It is impossible to drive the farmland to the ground. If you have a bad temper in the field, you cannot continue to cultivate the land. Only some old cattle and cows can be used to cultivate the land because of their temperament ... "
"Yes, although the cost of raising cattle is very low, it is too temperamental to tame it for arable land. The temperature of the horse is temperate and obedient to the command. Therefore, although the cost of raising the horse is much higher than the cattle, people are more willing Use a horse to cultivate the land. And among a group of cattle, three out of ten can be used for farming, even if it is good. "Old Huffman agreed.
This is indeed the case. Europeans do not know how to use bull nose rings and cannot tame young bully bulls. The cow has a bad temper, even if it is a good-tempered cow, sometimes the cow's temper comes up and Ladu can't move. Unless a very strong knight comes out, he can pull the bull offensively.
东方 The East is different. During the Warring States Period, the Huaxia people came up with the trick of using a bull nose ring to make a grumpy cow obliged to obey. Because the painful nerve develops in the cow's nose, and once the nose ring is pulled, the cow hurts and has to be led by the nose.
It is precisely because the Orientals can easily lead the nose of cattle to drive the cattle to cultivate land. Therefore, the East has developed cattle farming. Europeans have never found an effective way to tame cattle, so horse farming has to be used. As for cattle, only a few good tempers are used for farming. After all, cattle usually only need to eat grass. Unlike the horses, they often have to eat feed and the cost of raising is high.
This situation also leads to another result, that is, the Europeans raise more horses and pay less attention to cattle. Even people can raise cattle and eat meat, and some raise cows. Orientals are more accustomed to raising cattle because of the cost of raising. Moreover, cattle are also considered treasures. In ancient China, the official government was strictly forbidden to slaughter healthy cattle, otherwise they had to go to jail. However, in ancient China, because cattle were raised too much, there were very few people raising horses, which also caused a serious shortage of horses and cavalry in ancient China. Only passive defense, not counterattack.
But the cost of raising a horse is very high. War horses need to be fed daily, and horses must be fed frequently. Unlike cattle raising, only when the physical energy consumption is too much in the cultivated land, you need to add some concentrate such as soybeans and eggs. In the rest of the season, just grab the grass and eat it. Even in winter, eating hay is fine. Therefore, the cost of raising cattle is much lower than that of horses.
It is like Huffman Manor. In order to cultivate 1200 acres of land, 25 horses have to be raised, which is extremely costly. Every day, just feeding 25 horses will cost hundreds of fenny's feed money, not to mention the more expensive 5 war horses.
"But, I heard the teacher said that in the far east, people basically raise cattle to cultivate land ..."
"How is that possible? You know, the temper of the cow is very irritable. The Iberian (Spanish) also specially engaged in the bullfighting game, which shows how difficult it is to tame the cattle. Generally, only three cattle are suitable for raising 10 Cultivated land. The rest are either killed to eat meat or become cows. Or, they are underage calves. "Huffman felt incredible.
"This is the case in Europe, but my teacher has been to the 'Ming' Empire in the far east, where I learned a simple way to make cattle obediently obedient and make most adult cattle (too angry) Except for nerve bulls, of course, such bulls are castrated, and they are honest), can be pulled down to cultivate land, and very obedient. "
"Is there such a magical way?" Old Huffman was excited. Huffman's 30 horses are too expensive to raise. Each year, these horses need to spend two to three hundred marks to feed (specifically, an average horse consumes less than 4 fennies per day, and a war horse consumes 10 fennies per day). And Huffman Estate, the annual income, is only more than 600 marks. Coupled with the food and drink of the family, Huffman Manor basically has a few dollars left each year. If you can replace the high cost of horse-drawn horses, most of them are replaced by cows (you still need to leave a few horse-drawn horse carts), which can save at least one hundred and dozens of marks per year.
In fact, for the whole of Europe, the cost of raising horses has always been a major problem that plagues farmers. It is not cost-effective to feed the horses, and European food is so expensive. However, although the cost of raising cattle is low, there are too few "honest cows" that may be used to cultivate land ...
Not only was the old Huffman excited, but the sensible Mrs. Mary also became a little short of breath:
"Marin, do you really understand this approach?" As the "mother-in-law" in charge of financial power at home, Mrs. Mary is very sensitive to costs.
"Of course, if you do n’t believe me, you can look at the bullock cart and the bulls that I follow. The two bulls, both of which I have put on nose loops, are very honest and obedient along the way."
"Nose ring? What's that?" Old Huffman and Mary asked involuntarily.
"It is a small thing that can make the cow obedient. The cow's nose is very painful. Wear a nose ring in the cow's nose. As long as you move the nose ring, the cow will feel pain, and then you have to honestly follow the command line ..."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go and see!" The old Huffman immediately stood up, lifted the thin Marin like a chick, and went to the barn. And Mrs. Mary and several other children hurried to keep up.
When they reached the bullpen, everyone immediately looked at the bulls with nose loops on both sides. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com Then, the old Huffman also stretched out the rope attached to the nose ring and dragged. The sore black bull "Li Chen" yelled dissatisfiedly. But holding his own handle in the hands of the old Huffman, it was helpless.
看 "Look, this cow is staring at me, it seems very dissatisfied. However, I still have to listen to me!" Exclaimed the old Huffman happily.
对 "By the way, Marin, how did you put the bull's nose ring on the bull's nose? You know, the cow has a bad temper and hurts it, and you don't need to kill you with horns?" Adler asked. He used to struggle with cattle, knowing that cattle are very irritable when they lose their temper. Even if he was as strong as him, he was almost hurt by the cow. According to Marin's physique, it is impossible to hold a cow like "Li Chen".
"This, it's very simple. Put some spirits in the cow's feed and get the cow drunk. Then, put the drunk cow bale and pierce it casually ..."
"Can this be the case?" Adler and a few others were a little ...
"Nonsense, isn't it hard to come this way? Afraid to be pierced by horns?"
"It really is the knowledge imparted by Daxian, it is amazing!" Madam Mary couldn't help sighing.
Prior to that, the savvy Mrs. Mary had some doubts about the truth of Marin's words. But when she saw the cow "Li Chen" and the calf "Dallas" who were tamed by the bull nose ring, she had to believe that Marin had gained the knowledge taught by the master. But she watched Marin grow up, knowing that Marin had a few pounds or two. There is no other explanation for such a "very powerful" method except that taught by an expert.
Then, Marin was at the Huffman Manor, and he became the real name of "Daxian Disciple" ...
