The Rise of the European Emperor

Because the spring ploughing was imminent, Marin ordered to complete the land replacement as quickly as possible, so as not to delay the spring ploughing. Those minor nobles and Junkers landlords who were not "own" were all relocated to the west bank of the Elbe. Along with them were their former serfs and livestock.

Originally, it was nothing. However, Marin's subordinates suddenly reported something, which attracted Marin's attention...

It turned out that many small aristocrats and Junker landlord families in West Frisland brought a lot of livestock with them when they moved with their families... Of course, this is not the point, but the point is—among their livestock, there are many Marin who value it very much. The black and white cows...

Holstein cows, also known as black-and-white cows, are the best cow breeds in the world. The largest source of such cows is West Frisian.

Before, Marin has vigorously promoted the development of the dairy industry. However, there is a lack of excellent cows. Therefore, Marin has sent people to West Friesland and North Holland to buy a large number of black and white cows. Unfortunately, the local landlords are not willing to sell too much, but only a small part.

Therefore, Marin did not buy many black-and-white cows later. This matter, let Marlin deeply regret.

However, during this wave of migration, Marin's subordinates discovered that those rural nobility and Junker landlords from West Frisian had a lot of black and white Holstein cows in their hands...

And Kohler's subsequent investigation surprised Marin even more - there are as many as three or four thousand black and white cows in the West Frisian region. Moreover, a third of them happened to belong to those small West Frisian nobles and Junkers landlords who were relocating...

I worked hard and spent a lot of money before, but I only bought a few hundred black and white cows. Now, three or four thousand black-and-white cows are in front of him, and Marlin is instantly jealous...

After walking around the office for a long time with his hands behind his back, Marin finally made up his mind. So he called Kohler and ordered:

"Khloe, go and take someone to forcibly buy the black-and-white cows in the hands of the relocated West Frisian nobility and Junker landlords!"

"What if they don't? After all, without the cows, they don't have any milk or cheese," Kohler asked.

You must know that these small nobles and Junkers landlords are very particular about the quality of life. To take away their cows is to stop them from drinking milk and cheese, and the quality of life will definitely drop a notch.

Marin thinks about it too. Although these small nobles and Junkers landlords, although the money is not too much, they are very particular about life. Even if you have no money, you are also poor. This is a common problem for nobles and noble children, otherwise, there would not be a situation where most nobles are in debt.

If these people were deprived of milk and cheese, they would indeed complain. However, Marin really wants those black and white cows!

What does Marin want these black and white cows for? Naturally, it is focused on expanding reproduction! Three or four thousand cows are too few. He needs to expand breeding and increase the number of black and white cows to tens of thousands.

Moreover, Marin intends to feed the cows with good alfalfa grass, and add some oats and beans to increase milk production.

At the same time, Marin will select a group of people with the best veterinary skills from the disciples of two Mongolian doctors, Mozhigen and Batel, to professionally serve these black-and-white cows, so that the health and life of the cows can be guaranteed. Of course, its purpose is to achieve mass reproduction and expand the population.

Its ultimate goal is to achieve mass production of milk.

What to do after milk production? Naturally, it supplies the children of the Grand Duchy of Beihai! Among them, children of noble families and children of military families will be given priority. Then there are the other kids.

In addition, the milk production has increased, and it is more convenient to drink milk tea. There is not enough milk, where can I get milk tea?

Of course, if the milk production is large and the supply exceeds the demand, the excess milk can also be concentrated and heated to remove water to make milk powder. In this way, it is more conducive to long-term preservation.

When Marin's dairy breeding center expands in size and the number of cows increases, Marin will export the cows, sell them to other countries, and send them to colonies so that everyone can drink milk.

In fact, any cow can produce milk. However, the milk production of black and white cows is several times that of ordinary cows, which can reach the level of several tons per year. Cows have a long lactation period and can produce milk for a long time. While feeding the calf, it can also provide a large amount of milk to humans. Ordinary cows produce more milk than calves, so it is difficult to supply humans in large quantities.

Therefore, Marin pays so much attention to the cultivation and expansion of black and white dairy cow breeds. As long as there are enough black and white cows, there will be more people who can drink milk.

Moreover, the black and white cow has a very good characteristic - that is, it is very adaptable...  

In addition to being somewhat unaccustomed to heat, black and white cows can adapt to most climates and are relatively hardy. Therefore, this kind of cow not only produces large milk, but also is suitable for promotion all over the world. Therefore, for the cows of later generations, black and white cows are popular all over the world...

The reason why Marin wants to build a unified dairy breeding center is to optimize the breeding. The so-called optimal breeding is to select the best male and female cows for breeding to produce high-quality calf. As these calves grow up, they will become the new mainstay of milk production.

It should be noted that bull cows do not produce milk, but it is very important. Because, without the cooperation of the male cows, the female cows also don't produce milk... Would you try to have a big girl milked?

Therefore, it is very important to select healthy and high-quality bull cows, which will affect the quality of the next generation of cows.

It's just that Marin found that people in this era were not very concerned about the breeding of dairy cows, and they just found a bull and bred them. Even, Marin has seen a dairy farmer who randomly finds a bull that is not a black-and-white cow breed and breeds it. It's just a mess...

It's no wonder that the Europeans of this era only paid attention to the blood of humans, while ignoring the blood of animals. And the cultivation of those professional horse breeds in later generations will not start until the 17th and 18th centuries.

Of course, Marin believes that there is no noble bloodline, and there is no need to find the strongest male and female to breed... In fact, human beings do not conquer the world by being strong. If it depends on strength, animals like elephants and rhinos should conquer the world... The most important factor in human beings should be wisdom...

Of course, as a human animal, the standard is different. For animals raised by humans, strength becomes an important principle. For dairy cows, it is based on milk production...

Therefore, in terms of the standard of optimal breeding, selecting a cow is to select a robust bull and bred with a cow with a large milk and a lot of milk, so as to obtain a better cow...

...

To this end, Marin plans to gather all the three or four thousand dairy cows in West Frisian to establish a large-scale dairy breeding center, and optimize the breeding to achieve the purpose of expanding the population of black and white dairy cows and improving the quality of milk production of dairy cows. .

As for the small West Frisian aristocrats and Junker landlords who were robbed of the black-and-white cows, Marin also decided to make some compensation-these small aristocrats and Junker landlords raised dairy cows not for money, but for their own consumption. Because there are not many ordinary people who can afford milk...

So Marin decided to compensate by selecting a corresponding number of cows from the cattle he bought from the Crimeans. At the same time, pay some extra money to make up the difference in value. So, it is worthy of them. After all, although Crimean cows can't keep up with the black and white cows in milk production, they can also produce milk.

After this forced redemption policy, Marin gathered the three or four thousand black-and-white cows in West Frisian and the hundreds of black-and-white cows he had bought before, and set up a large warehouse near Aurich. Large-scale dairy breeding center.

Of course, because the black and white cows produce a lot of milk, at the same time, this breeding center can also supply fresh milk to Aurich and nearby Emden.

As for the excess milk afraid of bad? It is processed into milk powder and stored. Anyway, Marin has a lot of oil paper in his hand now, so he is not afraid of not having a bag to pack milk powder... As for the milk powder brand, Marin thinks the brand "Sanlu" seems to be good...
