最后一个鸡蛋郑渊洁整个鸡家族都不甘心自己在地球上的地位——任人宰割，供人食用。鸡王决定扭转鸡家族的处境，于是就召集幕僚想办法。“要想人类放弃吃鸡很难。”一个幕僚说。他曾经用10斤鸡蛋收买了一位写东西的人，让他在报上写文章说，吃鸡容易患癌症！可人类还是照吃不误。“依我看，人类吃咱们并不是因为恨咱们，而是说明他们离不开咱们。”另一位年纪大点的幕僚说，“不如，大王下一道圣旨，命令所有母鸡停止下蛋，保证人类不会再像现在这样对待咱们了。”“停止下蛋？”鸡王吃了一惊。“对，停止下蛋。没有鸡蛋就不会再有小鸡出生，光这一点，就够人类伤脑筋的了。”幕僚说。 5分钟后，鸡王向整个鸡家族下达了圣旨：停止下蛋！当人类发现全世界所有的母鸡都不下蛋了时，地球上只剩下一个鸡蛋了。人类意识到问题的严重性了，地球上的鸡吃一只将少一只，最终灭绝。人类为此专门召开了一个紧急会议，会议的结果是制定了一部关于保护珍稀动物“鸡”的法律。鸡终于改变了卑微的地位，加入珍稀动物的行列。人们以拥有一只鸡为荣，狗和猫的地位一落千丈。在公园里常见到牵着鸡散步的达官贵人。一只鸡的售价已高达上千美元。地球上唯一的那个鸡蛋更是价值连城，光是守护它的军队就有两个旅。这个鸡蛋的妈妈是最后一个听到鸡王圣旨的，于是，她成了地球上唯一一个鸡蛋的母亲。人们将延续鸡的生命的期望寄托在她身上，给她吃最好的食物，为她建造了豪华的住宅，还让她上报纸上电视。这只母鸡日益显赫的地位渐渐引起了鸡家族其他成员的不满。同样是鸡，凭什么她吃得好，住得好，还能上电视？就因为________________！于是，在某一天的上午，另一只母鸡违抗鸡王的圣旨，公然下了一个蛋。这只母鸡立刻成了全球新闻的焦点，她的待遇马上超过了前一只母鸡。鸡家族受到了强烈的震动。紧接着第三个鸡蛋出生了。第四个鸡蛋问世了。第五个鸡蛋诞生了。第六个鸡蛋降临了。……鸡王感到大事不妙，连忙再次降旨制止母鸡下蛋，但他已经控制不了他的臣民了。所有的母鸡都想比别的鸡过得好，她们拼命地下蛋。于是，保护鸡的法律取消了。没有人牵鸡去公园了。鸡又重新出现在餐桌上了。鸡王不甘心，还想继续降旨制止母鸡下蛋，被幕僚劝阻了。幕僚说：“没有必要。因为人类已经掌握了对付鸡不下蛋的方法。”

结合全文内容，概括结尾处幕僚所指的人类“对付鸡不下蛋的方法”。（6分）________________________________________________________________________
