Once, Malin worked in sales for a period of time. Although he was not particularly outstanding, he also successfully developed a slanderous mouth.

In the Middle Ages, Europe was a society with very informational obstruction. Even the smart Lady Mary could only be said to be much smarter than ordinary people, but she was not a rival to Marin, who had been baptized by a large amount of information.

In the story made up by Marin, he himself became a "smart bone" and a boy with the halo of the protagonist, and was attracted by the learned ascetic monk named Einstein (Khan...). After a simple test, this great sage named Einstein taught all his experiences and knowledge to Marin...

"You mean, the great sage only took a month to impart all his knowledge to you?"

"Yes!" Marin wanted to say it was two or three months, but a month after he left home, he accepted two second-hand men, Kahn and Kohler. Both second-hand men knew about the subsequent events, so it was hard to make up for it...

"What can you learn in just one month?" Mrs. Mary was not that easy to fool.

"Uh... Lord Einstein taught me a lot of things and let me digest them slowly. I have only digested some of them now."

"What you just said is all the part you digest?"

"It's far more than that. What I just said is just some experiences and a lot of useful scientific knowledge!" Marin pretended to be proud. Because this is how the 16-year-old boy should be.

"Give an example?" Old Hoffman interrupted.

"Well, the problem with oxen."

"Plowing ox?" Old Hoffman felt a little strange.

"Well, yes. We know that in Europa, most people use horses to plow the land instead of oxen. The main reason is that the cows have a very big temper. Those young and energetic bulls cannot drive them to plow the fields because of their too big temper. If they get angry with cows in the field, they cannot continue to plow the land. Only some old cows and cows, because of their mild temper, can be used to plow the land..."

"It's like this. Although the cost of raising cattle is very low, it is too tough to tame it for farming. The temper of horses is gentle and obeys commands. Therefore, although the cost of raising horses is much higher than that of cattle, people are still more willing to use raising horses to farm the land. It would be good if there are three out of 10 of the cattle in a herd of oxen." Old Hoffman agreed.

This is true. Europeans do not know how to use bull nose rings and cannot tame those young and irritable bulls. The bull has a very stubborn temper. Even if a bull has a good temper, sometimes it cannot pull the bull when it comes to his temper. Unless a very strong knight takes action, he can pull the stubborn bull.

But the East is different. During the Warring States Period, the Chinese came up with the trick of using the bull's nose ring, which made the irritable bull obedient. Because the bull's nose has developed pain and nerves. Once the nose ring is pulled, the bull will suffer and have to be led by the nose.

It is precisely because Orientals can easily lead the cows to plow the land and can easily drive the cows to plow the land. Therefore, the East has developed cows. However, Europeans have never found an effective way to tame cows, so they have to use horses to plow. As for cows, only a small number of good tempers are used to plow the fields. After all, cows usually only need to eat grass. Unlike horses, they often have to eat feed, and the cost of feeding is higher.

This situation also led to another result, that is, Europeans raise more horses and do not pay much attention to cattle. Even people can raise cattle and eat meat, and some raise cows. Orientals are more accustomed to raising cattle due to the cost of raising cattle. Moreover, they regard cattle as treasures. In ancient China, governments strictly prohibited the slaughter of healthy cattle, otherwise they would have to go to jail. However, in ancient China, because of the excessive raising of cavalry, there were few people raising horses, which also made it difficult for ancient China to lack horses and cavalry, making it difficult to fight against the large number of cavalry of the nomadic peoples in the north. They could only defend passively and could not counterattack.

However, the cost of raising horses is very high. War horses require feeding every day, and picking up horses requires feeding often. Unlike raising cattle, only when the physical energy is consumed too much when plowing the land, some essential ingredients such as soybeans and eggs are needed. In the rest of the time, you can just put them on the grass and eat grass. Even in winter, eating hay is OK. Therefore, the cost of raising cattle is much lower than that of horses.

Just like the Hoffman Manor, in order to cultivate 1,200 acres of land, it had to raise 25 horses, which was extremely costly. Every day, just feeding 25 horses alone would cost hundreds of Finney's feed, not to mention the 5 war horses with higher treatment.

"But, I heard from the teacher that in the far east, people basically raise cattle to plow the land..."

"How is this possible? You know, the cows have a very irritable temper. The Iberians (Spanish) also specially held bullfighting competitions, which shows that it is difficult to tame cattle. Generally, only 10 cows can be raised can three be suitable for plowing the land. The rest, either kill meat or be cows. Or, they are underage calfs." Hoffman found it incredible.

"It's like this in Europe, but my teacher has been to the Ming Empire in the far east, and learned a simple way there to make the cattle obedient, so that most adult cattle (except for the nerve bulls with too irritable tempers, of course, if this bull is castrated, he will be honest), and can be pulled down to cultivate the land, and is very obedient."

"Is there such a magical way?" Old Hoffman was moved. The 30 horses in Hoffman Manor are too expensive to raise. Every year, these horses require a huge amount of money to be fed (specifically, a horse consumes an average of less than 4 feni per day, while a war horse consumes 10 feni per day). The annual income of Hoffman Manor is only more than 600 max. In addition to the family's food and drink cost, Hoffman Manor basically has no money left every year. If the horses with high breeding costs can be exchanged for cattle (a few horses and carts are left), it can save at least 100 or dozens of max per year.

In fact, for the whole of Europe, the cost of raising horses has always been a big problem that troubles farmers. It is necessary to feed the horses, and the food in Europe is so expensive, which is really not cost-effective. However, although the cost of raising cattle is low, there may be too few "honest cattle" used to cultivate the land...

Not only was Old Hoffmann moved, but Mrs. Mary, who knew how to do it, also became a little breathing fast:

"Malin, do you really understand this method?" As the "Queen Mother" who holds financial power in the family, Mrs. Mary is very sensitive to costs.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can look at the ox carts and the ox I ride with my followers. The two oxes were all covered with nose rings by me using Oriental methods, and they were very honest and obedient all the way."

"Nose ring? What is that?" Old Hoffman and Mary asked at the same time.

"It's a kind of little thing that can make the cow obedient. The cow's nose is very afraid of pain. If you wear a nose ring in the cow's nose, the cow will feel pain as long as it is touched, and then you have to follow the orders honestly..."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go and see!" Old Hoffman immediately stood up, lifted the thin Marin like a chicken, and went to the cattle shed. Mrs. Mary and several other children quickly followed.

When they arrived at the cowshed, everyone immediately watched the two cows with nose rings. Then, Old Hoffman reached out and pulled the rope connected to the nose ring and pulled it. The big black cow "Li Chen" who was pulled and hurt, mooed twice in dissatisfaction. But when his handle was held in Old Hoffman's hand, it could do nothing.

"Look, this cow is glaring at me, and it seems very dissatisfied. But I still have to listen to me!" Old Hoffman shouted happily.

"By the way, Marin, how did you pierce the bull's nose onto the bull's nose? You know, the bull has a very bad temper and hurts it, so you won't be able to kill you?" Adler asked from the side. He had been competing with the bull, and knew that it was difficult to mess with the bull when he lost his temper. Even if he was as strong as him, he was almost injured by the bull. According to Marin's physique, it was impossible to hold up a big black bull like "Li Chen".

"This is very simple. Put some strong wine in the cattle feed and get the cow drunk. Then, put the drunk cow on and pierce it at will..."

"Can this still happen?" Adler and several others were a little stunned...

"Nonsense, can you be forced to do this? Aren't you afraid of being exposed by the horns?"

"It's indeed the knowledge taught by the Great Sage, so amazing!" Mrs. Mary couldn't help but sigh.

Before, the smart Mrs. Mary was a little suspicious of the authenticity of Marin's words. But when she saw the big black bull "Li Chen" and the little calf "Dallas" tamed by the bull's nose ring, she had to believe that Marin had received the knowledge taught by experts. She watched Marin grow up and knew that Marin was originally a pound of pounds. Such a "powerful" method was not explained except those taught by experts.
