My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 996: I will definitely cherish my body, please be at ease, father! Ruyun: They bully me!

More than 200,000 pigs, is that a lot?

In later generations, the average daily consumption of live pigs in Dongguan alone reached 7,100 heads, while in large cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhengzhou, the average daily consumption of live pigs was 10,000 or even more than 20,000 heads!
Moreover, most of the pigs slaughtered at that time were the result of scientific breeding with excellent pig breeds from other countries, such as Duroc and Yorkshire. Both the meat yield and overall weight were far superior to those pigs in the pig treatment yard.

At first glance, the number of pigs in the pig-raising yard does seem terrifying, but if it were placed in later times, it would only be enough to supply a large city for ten days - and that's only during non-festival periods, otherwise they would be eaten up in a day or two!

However, this scale of pig holdings was achieved by Ying Chengjiao, the richest man in Qin during the reign of Emperor Ying Zheng, after spending nearly two years of his total income!

So in Ying Chengjiao's opinion, there is nothing to be proud of, at least until every county in the Qin Dynasty has a pig-raising house of such a scale, there is nothing to be proud of.

However, after hearing this, the ministers wanted to beat him up.

That’s more than 200,000 pigs!
You call this scraps?
So what kind of life did our Great Qin live in the early years?
The whole country is eating half a piece of scraps together!

Lü Buwei's eyes lit up: "Even the scraps obtained after research are so pleasing."

"I think what Chang'an Jun has learned from his research will definitely benefit Daqin!"

Ying Chengjiao gave Liu Ji a look, and Liu Ji quickly stepped forward and opened the door of a greenhouse, saying in a strong tone: "Chang'an Jun is willing to spend a lot of money just to cultivate the most suitable pigs for Daqin!"

"Fortunately, God bless the Great Qin! God loves Chang'an Jun!"

"After several years of research, the pig management department has finally made some progress!"

The door opened, and a pitch-black sow with thick hair and fat flesh hanging on its body like a swimming ring slowly stood up, took two steps back vigilantly, and sniffed a strange, complex and irritating smell.

Han Cang's pupils trembled, and he cried out in a low voice: "What a fat pig!"

As an official in charge of grain, Han Cang must have seen pigs of all sizes.

But Han Cang had never seen such a big and fat pig!

If an ordinary wild boar were placed in front of this pig, it would be like a child being compared to a strong man!

Suddenly, the sow's nose paused, and she took two steps forward hesitantly. She sniffed again and then cheered loudly: "Hengchi~Heng~"

Then the Qin emperor and his ministers saw the sow spread out its four hooves and run wildly towards the door!

"King, be careful!"

"Protect the emperor! Minister, step forward! Fight to the death!"

"Get the crossbow! String it!"

As the saying goes, one pig is worth two bears and three tigers. The fighting power of the Chinese native pig is by no means comparable to that of ordinary bears and tigers!

A group of ministers shouted in shock and quickly stood in front of Ying Zheng.

But Ying Fusu got out of the crowd, and shouted in surprise and anxiety: "Ruyun!!!"

"Stop!"

Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Fusu, come back!"

As he shouted, Ying Zheng had already pressed down on the hilt of the sword. He lowered his waist and exerted force to push away the minister who was protecting him, and protected Ying Fusu firmly behind him.

But before Ying Zheng could do anything, Liu Ji, who had been prepared, had already rushed to the left of Ying Fusu, holding a sharp-topped wooden stick and shouting angrily: "Ruyun, stop!"

Ying Chengjiao strode forward and rushed directly in front of Ruyun, and smashed Ruyun's head with a big hand like a Fantian Seal.

"Oh!"

Ruyun: Who am I? Where am I? I feel dizzy!
Ruyun, who was originally rushing forward excitedly, suddenly became confused, staggering and staggering like a drunkard.

Seeing Ying Chengjiao standing in front of him, Ying Zheng finally felt relieved. He turned around and looked down at Ying Fusu and asked, "Are you frightened?"

Looking at Ying Zheng standing in front of him, Ying Fusu was deeply moved and shocked: "Are these father and son?!"

All along, the teachers have been teaching Ying Fusu to respect and be filial to Ying Zheng, and that Ying Fusu needs to fulfill his duties as a subject and a son, and they have been teaching him the etiquette that needs to be followed between father and son.

But which etiquette requires a father to protect his son from danger? Which etiquette requires a king to protect his subjects from danger?

Not a single one!
On the contrary, the etiquette would require Ying Zheng, as a king, to stay in a safer place, and require Ying Fusu, as a son, to be at the forefront to help his father and king resist the danger.

But Ying Zheng did just that!

If Ying Fusu had been an adult with a fixed mindset, at this moment he might have made a solemn appeal like Chunyu Yue, advising Ying Zheng to put the safety of his king and father first. But Ying Fusu is still a child. How could he not want his father to protect him when he is in danger like a hero who descended from the sky?
At this moment, Ying Fusu truly understood why Ying Chengjiao thought that etiquette was just a tool, and instead emphasized sincere emotions from the heart!

Ying Fusu's eyes were red, and he choked up and whispered, "Father!"

Ying Zheng's body stiffened slightly, he stretched out his hand to hold Ying Fusu behind him, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Don't panic."

"I and my uncle are here!"

"Don't take risks like this in the future. Always put your own safety first!"

Ying Fusu hugged Ying Zheng's thigh tightly, choking with sobs and saying, "I will definitely cherish my body, please be at ease, father!"

This action also did not conform to the requirements of etiquette, but Ying Fusu felt that this was the most sincere emotion in his heart.

Ying Zheng gently patted Ying Fusu's head and ordered in a deep voice: "Cook this pig to calm Prince Fusu's mind!"

This time, Ying Fusu was really panicked: "Father, Ruyun may not have any intention to hurt me or you, but she is just too anxious because she has not seen me for a long time."

"Can you spare Ruyun's life?"

Ying Zheng was slightly surprised: "It is Ruyun?" Ying Fusu nodded vigorously: "It is Ruyun! Although I haven't seen it for a long time, I can recognize it."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

In the not-so-frequent exchanges between Ying Zheng and Ying Fusu, Ying Fusu mentioned Wen Yin and Ruyun many times, which shows how important these two pigs were in Ying Fusu's heart.

But Ying Zheng was even more unwilling for Ying Fusu to come into contact with this uncontrollable creature that could be life-threatening!
Just as Ying Zheng was about to reject Ying Fusu's advice, Ying Chengjiao turned around and walked over, saying with a gentle smile: "Pigs understand human nature, and perhaps they will still remember Fusu."

"But if it really has forgotten Fusu, and just now it was intentional to hurt him, it should not be allowed to stay any longer."

"Otherwise, Fusu's kindness is not only irresponsible for the safety of the king, but also for the safety of the servants in the Zhizhu Courtyard. This is a small kindness, not a great kindness."

"What does Fusu think?"

Ying Fusu looked at Ruyun who was staggering, and after struggling for a few breaths, he finally nodded: "Uncle is right."

"Nephew, you can't forget the greater good for the sake of the smaller good!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at Ying Zheng and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."

This one sentence is better than a thousand words from Ying Fusu.

With Ying Chengjiao by his side, what does Ying Zheng have to worry about?
Ying Zheng felt relieved, smiled and nodded: "I also think your uncle is right."

"Go."

After getting Ying Zheng's approval, Ying Fusu hurried forward and held Ruyun's head in his arms, saying soothingly in a gentle voice: "Ruyun! Ruyun, are you okay?"

"Do you still remember me?"

Ying Chengjiao's muscles were tense, his face was casual, and he said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, I will hold back. I will just stop him and not use any heavy hands."

"Ruyun has been in good health since childhood, and will be fine after a while."

The thickness of the pig's health bar is beyond your imagination!

As she spoke, Ruyun's dizziness had mostly dissipated, and then she felt herself being enveloped by a familiar scent.

Sniffing the increasingly strong scent, Ruyun's huge head arched in Ying Fusu's arms, and two lines of clear tears flowed from his two big eyes: "Hengchi~Heng~Heng~Henghehe~"

Woo woo woo~ Little master! They took advantage of your absence to bully Ruyun!
Ever since you stopped visiting Ruyun often, Ruyun was forced to separate from her mother and brother and live in this cramped house without seeing the sun.

Especially the big bad guy with a stick next to her, he is the most hateful. He used all kinds of methods to bully Ruyun and even made Ruyun pregnant!

Twice again!!!

My dear master, Ruyun misses you so much! You must make the decision for Ruyun!

Ying Fusu gently stroked Ruyun's head and said in a gentle voice: "It's my fault that I haven't come to see Ruyun for a long time."

"I will come to see you more often in the future."

"When I met Ruyun last time, I was willing to wrestle with her."

"I never thought that after only six months of not seeing you, Ruyun has grown up and become so strong."

Ruyun's IQ is equivalent to that of a three to four-year-old human child.

She could not understand what Ying Fusu said, but she could feel his kindness and gentleness, and she could also feel that those bad guys would listen to her little master.

He became more and more intimate, and kept making all kinds of complaints.

Liu Ji took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Ruyun and Wenyin are Dahei's children. The first person they saw when they were born was Prince Fusu."

"I think it is because of this that Ruyun and Wenyin are particularly kind to Master Fusu and are loved by him."

"And Ruyun and Wenyin have lived up to Master Fusu's care."

"On August 6, the 14th year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, Ruyun and Wenyin were born."

"On the seventh day of the fifth month in the fifteenth year of the reign of Qin, Ruyun mated with the pig from Handan, and on the third day of the ninth month, Ruyun gave birth to piglets."

"It's just the first litter, and you've got thirteen boars!"

"Today, only three of the thirteen boars have passed away, and the rest are as strong as they were in the past."

"In two months, these ten children will be ready for breeding again."

Lü Buwei suddenly looked at Liu Ji and cried out in a low voice: "Thirteen boars in the first litter? Only three died?!"

"You know, the maximum number of pigs that can be obtained from Guanzhong is five. If you can obtain seven, you can ask the court to confer this title on the pig herders!"

"Even the pigs from Taihu Lake, which are very good at reproduction, can only produce seven or eight piglets in their first litter."

"Besides, pigs are young and weak, so it's lucky if half of each litter survives."

"You said that this Ruyun gave birth to thirteen boars in her first pregnancy? And only three died?!"

"Do you know what you are talking about?!"

If what Liu Ji said was true, then the number of piglets born by Ruyun would be more than twice that of Guanzhong pigs!
If the survival rate is taken into consideration, the number of piglets born by Ruyun can be about four times that of Guanzhong pigs!
Do you know what quadrupling the litter size means?
