When Wei Qing heard Zhang Ran say that it would take at least more than a month to train qualified craftsmen, he felt a little cold. Now it is already November. If it takes a month to train craftsmen, and hatch chicks for more than a month, and when the chicks grow up, half a year has passed. Then the problems faced by the soldiers of the North this winter are still difficult to solve!

However, later, when he heard Zhang Ran say that he had recorded all the methods of hatching chickens in the book and was willing to give this bamboo scroll to Wei Qing, Wei Qing couldn't help but feel a little comforted and quickly bowed to express his gratitude to Zhang Ran.

However, despite the love of Zhang Ran, Wei Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Although Xiaolang's method is of great benefit to the soldiers of the border, it takes quite a long time. If you want to popularize it and produce results, you will probably have to wait at least for the next winter. It is difficult to save your near thirst because the distance is difficult to save your nearest thirst!"

When Zhang Ran heard Wei Qing's words, he nodded very understandingly because he knew very well in his heart. Although he had said everything he had just said in front of the emperor, the real situation was not as wonderful as he said just now.

Moreover, his method is very difficult to implement, and there is no big problem with the artificial incubation technology. The real focus is on subsequent large-scale breeding of chicks, because various breeding technologies have not yet started in this era, so it is really difficult to build a large-scale breeding farm!

Why does Zhang Ran obviously have artificial hatching technology that can incubate a large number of chicks in batches, but he insists on selling the chicks to villagers? Isn’t it because he is worried that large-scale breeding will cause chicken plague or other diseases?

However, Zhang Ran would definitely not directly talk to the emperor about these questions. Do you want to give advice? Don’t you try to choose the best first? No matter how much you want, exaggerate the benefits first? As for what to do when encountering problems? Let’s continue to think of solutions later, what else can you do!

Anyway, Zhang Ran offered only the method of hatching chickens to the emperor. Most of the descriptions are various benefits brought by manual hatching, but he never offered any chicken-raising methods in seconds! Even if something really happened, it would not be blamed on Zhang Ran!

On the contrary, if there is any problem with raising chickens in the future, Wei Qing not only cannot blame Zhang Ran, but also asks him for help and find ways to solve various problems...

This method will be widely used when the Western world in later generations transfers low-end technologies to us. Zhang Ran just copied it and copied it.

Of course, if this method is not used well, it is also very disgusting. Therefore, Zhang Ran must give Wei Qing a vaccination in advance so that he can prepare in advance, and he must also be more positive in the future, otherwise he will really backfire.

Zhang Ran already has some first drafts on how to do it in the future, but it is not convenient to tell Wei Qing in detail in this situation. Zhang Ran plans to talk to Wei Qing about the "Chicken Raising Collection" tomorrow, and also use this to bring the two closer together. It would be great if he could just hold Wei Qing's golden thighs.

Just as Zhang Ran was imagining a bright future, the emperor on the imperial bed frowned deeply after hearing Wei Qing's words, because he knew very well that although Zhang Ran's method was very good, it could not solve the urgent problem. Therefore, the various money, grain and cold-proof clothing needed by the northern troops this winter will eventually fall on the Shaofu.

When Liu Che thought that he still had to pay such a large amount of money, he felt a little dissatisfied and couldn't help asking Zhang Ran: "Zhang Qing, do you have other tricks to relieve Zhongqing's worries?"

"Uh..." Hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that if he didn't give the emperor a satisfactory explanation, it would be difficult for him to pass today.

Fortunately, Zhang Ran was not completely prepared. Zhang Ran also had some concerns about how to deal with the lack of cold-proof clothing in the North. However, before proposing a solution, Zhang Ran still needed to confirm in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ran bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have grown up in Guanzhong since I was a child and have never been to the northern counties, so I don't know much about the situation there. Can Your Majesty honor me to ask the Marquis of Changping?"

"Accurate!" The emperor waved his sleeves and approved Zhang Ran's request, and said to Zhang Ran: "If you have any questions about Zhang Qing, you can ask Zhong Qing directly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ran bowed slightly, then turned to Wei Qing beside him and asked: "June, I have heard that the climate in the north is severely cold, and the northward it is, the colder the weather will be. If you cross the river and Yinshan line, the desert and grassland there will be even colder places where water turns into ice in winter. I wonder if this statement is true?"

When Wei Qing heard this, he nodded in agreement and replied: "This statement is absolutely true. In the cold winter last year, Qing led cavalry into the desert grassland to explore the terrain, and had some understanding of the situation there. Therefore, I can tell Xiaolang with certainty that the northward direction, the colder the weather will be... In the cold winter, even the Huns dare not stay in the desert grassland for a long time. They also want to find shelter valleys and relatively warm ground methods to spend the winter. When the flowers bloom next spring, they will return to the grassland to grazing."

"So that's it!" Zhang Ran pretended to be enlightened, then thought for a moment, and asked Wei Qing again: "Jun, as far as I know, most of the Huns seem to live in the desert grassland north of Yinshan Mountain. Logically speaking, their location is much colder than Shuofang County. So how do they resist the cold winter?"

Wei Qing looked at Zhang Ran deeply, and knew what Zhang Ran wanted to say in his heart. So Wei Qing pondered for a moment and replied: "The Huns collected animal skins, animal hairs, etc., tanned leather as clothes, and gathered armpits as fur to protect against the cold winter. Moreover, the Huns grew up here for generations, and were more suitable for the severe cold here and were familiar with the methods of protecting the cold... However, the people and soldiers of the Central Plains, since the end of the Qin Dynasty, have not been involved in Shuofang for hundreds of years. The Jiuyuan area not only lacked corresponding clothes, but also had no experience in protecting the cold. Therefore, there were many frostbite and frozen death."

"Well~ Junhou said so much!" Hearing Wei Qing's words, Zhang Ran nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but ask Wei Qing: "Since the Huns have a ready-made method of keeping cold, why not imitate the method, collect animal skins, animal hair and other objects into fur clothes, and distribute them to the soldiers to resist the cold winter?"
