Chapter 182 Inbreeding
"Reform the law and govern the horse!"

The news that the imperial court was preparing to reform Ma Zheng soon spread, which immediately caused a shock among the people.

Without him!

It's just because the law of protecting horses back then really made Mahu miserable.

The Song Dynasty has always adopted the strategy of strong stems and weak branches. Most of the horse farms are concentrated in the north and south of the Yellow River, and Kaifeng Mahu has the most.

"I heard that this time the court is serious. The veterinarian Pang Jizu introduced the method of artificial insemination. One stallion can breed [-] mares." An idle man said in shock.

Artificial insemination was too shocking. After the end of the court, the news of the reform and horse administration immediately spread throughout Kaifeng, and became a topic of discussion among the people.

Of course, the imperial court did not want to hide it. After all, there are many pastures in Xixia and Liao, artificial insemination is of little use to them, but it has an immediate effect on Song Dynasty. This evil recipe is spread among the people and can also promote the development of folk horse breeding.

"Artificial insemination!"

Everyone who heard it twitched.

"Pang Langzhong is indeed a classmate of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and his evil prescriptions are almost in the same line." The people in Kaifeng said with strange expressions.

"It's vulgar!"

An old master in a Confucian uniform accused angrily.

"Old Master, this is a place for breeding animals, and it has nothing to do with immorality." Ma Hu, who heard the news, retorted.

He heard about the method of artificial insemination, but he found it like a treasure. If he used this method, the horses in his family would surely reproduce quickly. In his opinion, this is a great prescription.

"Those who can come up with this method must have evil intentions!" The old Confucian student scolded.

"Insane?"

Ma Hu raised his brows and said, "This method has been successfully tested at Shenwang Pig Farm. Kaifeng City can have a more abundant supply of cheap pork. The blindfolded bird is almost extinct. Pang Langzhong has contributed a lot. Is this still a trick?"

"Although this method is evil, it is beneficial to the country and the people. If one stallion can be bred to five hundred mares, the horse administration will be prosperous!" Some knowledgeable people exclaimed.

"So what if there is such an evil recipe? With the style of those horse officials, you think they can support a few horses." The old Confucian scholar sneered.

In the Song Dynasty, Ma Zheng was a joke, not to mention breeding war horses, he would be a good horse official if he didn't raise the horse to death.

"The mansion report is here! The imperial court wants to reform the law and horse administration!"

Suddenly a noise attracted everyone's attention, and they flocked to the mansion newspaper.

"The imperial court is going to sell a batch of stallions!"

Suddenly a piece of news attracted Mahu's attention.

With the method of artificial insemination, the court only needs to keep the best stallions!As for the rest of the stallions, there is no use for them, so they are going to sell them, which can not only reduce the burden, but also make a lot of money.

Mahu's heart moved, he had to know that these stallions were not eliminated by the imperial court's official racecourse, but the original authentic stallions of the imperial court, which were far better than the folk stallions.

If he had a good stallion, he would probably make a lot of money just by breeding, so he was secretly planning to spend a lot of money to buy another one.

The merchant, on the other hand, did not focus on the little stud horse, but frantically looked at the next message.

"The court wants to allow private racecourses?"

As businessmen, they are most sensitive to business opportunities, so they naturally know that the so-called horse farms are losing money and spending a lot of money because the shepherds and supervisors are superfluous.

If they were allowed to run the horse farm, apart from irresistible natural disasters, they would not be so unbearable.

Not to mention that now that there is an evil recipe for artificial insemination, there is no need to worry about the reproduction of horses. In addition, there is an urgent shortage of war horses in Song Dynasty, and the price of horses is high. Running a horse farm is a good business that can make money without losing money.

The merchant carefully read the news about the reform of the horse policy in the mansion newspaper. Although the court released only small-scale and remote horse farms, it did not dispel the merchant's interest in raising horses.

Although the racecourse is small in scale and located in a remote location, its price must be cheap and the risk is low. If the imperial court transfers the official racecourse, they may not dare to take it over.

All of a sudden, the court reform and horse politics caused quite a stir among the people.

"Thank you, Brother Fan, for your support!"

In the Imperial Medical Office, Pang Jizu bowed solemnly to Fan Zheng and expressed his gratitude.

He was a doctor at the beginning, and the greatest achievement in his life was only to become a medical officer in the Imperial Academy.

And the beginning of his change of fate was when he heard Fan Zhengbian's forensic doctor's ambition at the gate of the Taiyuan Hospital, and he felt hot, and followed Fan Zhengbian's forensic doctor.

He was recommended by Fan Zheng again, and he was directly promoted from a white body to a sixth-rank official, which was a dream he never imagined.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "You can achieve today's achievements without your own efforts. You are responsible for the reproduction of war horses in the world. If you succeed, your future is limitless. However, there are some problems that you must pay attention to."

"Brother, please tell me!" Pang Jizu said disapprovingly.

"With artificial insemination, a stallion can reproduce five hundred foals in one year, and fifteen hundred foals in three years, and after three years, the first batch of foals can reproduce again, five years, ten years What about it? The number of breeding stallions will be greater, and their offspring will reproduce, making it very easy for inbreeding." Fan Zheng asked.

"Inbreeding?"

Pang Jizu's face suddenly changed.

He knew that Senior Brother Fan's first evil prescription was marriage between close relatives. Marrying close relatives will cause various problems, and the same is true for horses.

You need to know that raising horses is different from raising pigs. After pigs are raised, they are killed and eaten directly. There is no need to think too much about it. Horses have a long life span, while war horses need to be trained to fight. If there is inbreeding, it is not only horses If it is not prosperous, I am afraid it will also delay the war.

"Also ask the brother to give pointers!"

Pang Jizu said respectfully.

"Humans use surnames to avoid inbreeding, and horses can also do the same. Every horse farm, every stallion is represented by a special mark, and every time a foal is bred, it is immediately branded, so as to trace the blood of the horse. In this way, war horses can avoid inbreeding, and it can also prove the bloodlines of the horses, and the common people are naturally willing to pay for the good horses run by the government, so as to guarantee the value of the horses.”

Fan Zheng explained the bloodline theory of the horses of later generations.

The good horses of the later generations are very valuable, and their pedigree certificates are as historical as a family tree. Of course, in order to prevent inbreeding of horses, it is not so complicated, just avoid three generations of direct lineage.

"Besides, when you are new to horse management, you need to remember that official racecourses are overstaffed, while private racecourses are only interested in profit. The two compete with each other to make horse management prosperous." Fan Zheng said again.

"It's like Taitai Hospital and Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital!" Fan Jizu was thoughtful.

"Not bad!"

Fan Zhengzheng nodded his head. Although Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Tai Hospital took different paths. The hospital operates independently, although it is collectively owned, it is more similar to private operation.

"Brother would like to follow the instruction of brother." Pang Jizu said gratefully.

"All medical schools will gather soon to study medical skills, and you, as a veterinarian, will attend!" Fan Zheng said again.

In an instant, Pang Jixian was ecstatic. The gathering of doctors from various branches can be said to have brought together the most cutting-edge medical skills of doctors.
