Chapter 1936 My heart goes to the bright moon
How could these rat farmers know that rats can get sick, but they will not be treated when they get sick, and they will give birth to new ones directly after they die.
Hearing his sister's call, the big mouse hurriedly came out of a turn in a sewer.
This is one of the nests he built for himself.
"Weir, what do you want from me? Are you hungry again?" he asked.
"No, I haven't been hungry since you taught me how to eat newborn mice alive," my sister said matter-of-factly, words that made people on the ground shudder. "They are the little mice I raised. Some of them have red eyes. They seem to be... The thing that the master wants most."
"Take me to see it quickly," the big mouse said immediately with his eyes lit up.
Soon Weir took the big rat to a rat farm that was as big as a basketball court.
It is said to be a rat farm, but it is actually completely different from modern cages where mice are fed three-dimensionally.
Because there is no such technology.
There are passages here, with rows of tall stone houses on both sides of the passage.
Rats can bite, so the house must be made of slate, not wood. This is to train their teeth. Rats’ teeth grow throughout their lives, and they are not afraid of dental caries and envy the dead.
There are five or six very tall and small windows on the house, all made of iron railings.
There are the observation port and the feeding port.
This alone is quite a test of the blacksmith's ability, but medieval blacksmiths were able to complete the work.
After all, such complex armor can be made, so making iron fences is not a problem.
Once anything reaches scale, complex technologies will gradually emerge.
The big mouse stepped on the stone steps outside, stood on the observation port, and cautiously peeked in.
The observation port is much smaller than the feeding port, and its iron fence is denser. Rats generally cannot climb that high, and even if they can climb up, they cannot get out.
But there are exceptions, which require rat keepers to take care of them in shifts.
Most people don't pay much attention to it, and it doesn't matter if a few run away.
But the big mouse told his sister that she must not let this happen. If it happens, the escaped mouse must be killed as soon as possible.
Because they will go home, and in the process of going home, they will bring the devil back.
At this time, the big mouse looked down, and then used a igniting stick to light the hanging oil lamp in the mouse's house.
Under the light, he saw several mice with red eyes!
There wasn't a mouse around them.
The other mice were huddled in the corner, shivering.
Looking carefully, next to the red mouse, there are clearly mouse heads that have been chewed up until only a piece of skin is left!
The big mouse saw this horrifying scene, but he was not afraid of being rejoiced.
“Great, feed these mice more, they need to eat more!”
As he spoke, he used a long mousetrap to catch a red mouse and put it into the mouse's mouth.
He asked his sister to get a mouse cage and put the red mouse in it.
Then he carefully distinguished the male and female of the other party and determined that it was a female mouse.
Three times, he found a male and a female.
Then put them alone in a rat room.
Add dregs and food.
However, they didn't even look at it.
The big mouse is very clever and has high IQ and EQ. This is the kind of person he is talking about.
The observation talent and reasoning talent are full.
He quickly thought of the key point, and then caught ordinary mice.
Sure enough, this time, a male and a female ate ordinary mice.
Then they started that, and then that.
Three days later, the female red-eyed mouse gave birth!
This speed surprised and delighted him!
He saw hope of escaping from this dark rat farm!
He immediately fed more rats. But danger soon approached.
A month later, the supervisor asked everyone to turn in this batch of rats.
Rats breed quickly, so batch management is required. It is normal for them to move out of one room a month.
You must know that the growth rate of chicks can reach 42 days per batch.
Not to mention the faster rats, simply because medieval technology is impossible to compare with modern chicken-raising technology.
Then the big rat can't come up with enough rats because it feeds too many regular rats to the red-eyed rats!
The consequences of this kind of thing vary from mild to severe.
The lightest thing is to report a rat disease and make up for it next time; the most serious thing is to despise God's grace, throw it into a rat farm and feed the rats!
With the behavior of a big rat, the punishment is naturally light.
Only this time, people who were jealous of him united and even reported the supervisor.
The person who accepted their report was a priest who came to upgrade the rats this time.
As for the purpose, one is to vent jealousy, and the other is that someone is interested in the position of supervisor.
The cleric was furious when he heard that someone was actually colluding with others to exploit the rats.
"Okay, you dare to falsify even the most important offerings to our clergy. This is deceiving God, this is blasphemy!" The clergy ordered someone to bring the account book and find someone to pair it.
It was discovered that there was indeed a problem with the account book. XX million rats were supposed to be handed over every month, but due to various reasons, only three-fifths were handed over.
It was said that it would be made up next month, but a real disease appeared next month, so the mouse shortfall that was not paid last month was filled into the real disease report.
So they did not make up for it, and this became a routine. They could already predict that rat disease would occur in a few months, and then concealed the output and counted the shortfall as rats that died of disease.
As for the advantages of concealing reports, firstly, the rat feed can be sold, and secondly, it can have a lot of free time. Some people even spend half of the month enjoying themselves outside.
This is a great benefit.
This kind of thing was common in the Middle Ages.
What's more, after you checked, there was still a disease. As for how many rats died from the disease, would the noble priests count them one by one?
Impossible.
The cleric was so furious that no one was seen, and he directly ordered the supervisor and related people to be thrown directly into his own rat house and not to be fed for seven days!
You must know that these mice are used to having food every day, and not having food for seven days is enough to drive them crazy!
The big mouse screamed that he was wronged: "I have a secret recipe, I have a new discovery, I have found new materials that can quickly upgrade the gentlemen. I want to see the gentlemen, I want to see His Majesty the Great Emperor!"
What is it? Born into a noble family, he also knew some of the mysteries of the clergy.
In desperation, he said it directly.
However, no one reported this at all.
Only his sister was asking for help, but to no avail.
What status did slaves have?
If you can say a word to the supervisor, you must have the permission of the supervisor.
Without permission, you ran up to the priest and beat him to death.
Whatever your status is, you are what you are. You are just a talking tool. Without the promotion of gentlemen, there is no way you can change yourself.
Unless you can rebel, in the East you can still change your status by rebelling. In the West, it seems that you have never heard of an emperor who came to power by rebelling.
His sister Weir could only watch as her brother was thrown into the rat room.
But no one knew that those red-eyed mice didn’t eat him first.
It’s like they didn’t eat ordinary feed, but chose to eat themselves!
Weir secretly threw in the little mice he had accumulated to slow down the process.
After seven days, everyone knows that if a person is imprisoned, it is impossible to come out alive.
This is the case in other mouse rooms, except for the big mouse!
When the door opened, a giant rat with red eyes as high as a human knee suddenly appeared.
It bit the person who opened the door to death, but spared Weir, who was paralyzed with fear.
Then the big mouse appeared and he hugged his sister with hatred in his eyes.
No one knows what he has been through in the past seven days.
