Chapter 106 Bamboo Rat Farm, 78.89 million rewards for book friends

Bai Yuqi, who was startled, hurriedly used the [Soil Removal Technique] to move to the open space behind him with the bamboo bushes, and then rode down the mountain on a dumpling that was frightened by food.

When they ran out of the area covered with bamboo bushes and looked back, the road they had just run out of was already filled with bamboo, and the range of the bamboo forest was still expanding with the flooding of bamboo!

Bai Yuqi looked at the expanding bamboo sea, and then at the towering city wall of Kuyu City not far away, a little embarrassed, this time a little embarrassing...... No, it's a loss of immortals!

He didn't expect that just trying the spell effect would result in such a rollover scene.

However, the good thing is that there will be no shortage of bamboo in the bamboo product processing plant, and there will be no shortage of feed in the bamboo rat farm.

The originally bare mountain was suddenly covered by a dense sea of bamboo, which obviously alarmed the people in Kuyu City.

In particular, the craftsmen of the breeding farm outside Kuyu City and Tiangongmen came over to see what was going on.

Fortunately, they were already "well-informed", and they somewhat guessed that it must be Bai Yuqi, the immortal venerable, who made the move.

So he was not frightened by the bamboo sea that was spreading, but looked at it in amazement, and contributed his faith to Bai Yuqi one by one.

"Ahem! Who's ......?"

"Hurry up and call the idle people in the city and come over to help chop the bamboo!"

Bai Yuqi was also embarrassed to say that he was almost trapped in the bamboo sea, so he could only put on a light and breezy immortal face and commanded.

Pretending that the rollover incident just happened is just a basic operation, and you don't need to shout 666.

Originally, he was worried that the few bamboo seas he had found were too far away from Kuyu City, and the captain of the bamboo felling team, who was a little difficult to transport, was happy.

Hurriedly called someone to inform the personnel of the cutting team to withdraw from the distant Zhuhai, and the temporarily idle homeless people in the city also brought big axes and small machetes to help.

The dense crowd surrounded the bamboo sea and cut it for a long time, but found that the scope of the bamboo sea had expanded a lot instead of decreasing, and it was getting closer and closer to the city wall of Kuyu City.

But just when the felling team began to panic, for fear that the bamboo forest would spread into Kuyu City, and planned to ask Bai Yuqi for instructions to see if they could receive the magic power and not let the bamboo forest continue to grow, the spread of the bamboo sea actually slowly stopped.

It's not that Bai Yuqi's spell failed, but that the crazy bamboo forest has depleted the water in the land, causing the reproduction rate of the bamboo roots to slow down all of a sudden.

Because bamboo prefers a humid environment, it needs a lot of water to grow, and it prefers acidic soils rich in organic matter and minerals, which is very suitable for the land near the bitter valley.

So just while the spell is still active, there will be a heavy rain to replenish enough water.

Or simply water it by hand, and it will regain its previous growth rate, or even more crazy.

As a result, the bamboo felling team had to grow the almost solid sea of bamboo before it rained again...... No, it should be called "Bamboo Mountain"!

Cut down and clean it up as much as possible to make enough room for the new bamboo to grow, so that Bai Yuqi's plants can spawn spells and exert the maximum growth effect.

At this time, all the idle manpower in Kuyu City was brought into play, and almost all of them were busy chopping, moving, and transporting bamboo.

A large number of cut down bamboo timber was carried into the open space in Kuyu City and piled up, as if piled up one after another green mountains in Kuyu City, and there will definitely be no shortage of bamboo and fodder in a short period of time.

Bundles of fresh bamboo branches were happily thrown into the rat pond by the rat farmers of the bamboo rat farm.

All of a sudden, there was a rat rat pond that sounded like a numb scalp.

Breeding bamboo rats is just Bai Yuqi before, after discovering these cute but edible rats, he decided to pat his head, and after catching the bamboo rats and throwing them to the homeless people to take care of, he didn't care.

But now that I think about it, it's actually more cost-effective to raise bamboo rats than pigs.

First of all, the source of feed is simple and abundant, and there is no need to worry about getting so much grain as feed like raising pigs...... At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a shortage of grain, and even people were not enough to eat, and the bran that was ground down was reluctant to throw away, so how could there be bran or coarse grains such as corn and sweet potatoes as feed.

That's all things that can only be done in the era of overcapacity of grain in later generations, not to mention that there was no corn and sweet potatoes in the Tang Dynasty, even if you think the people of Datang will be willing to give pigs to eat?

Therefore, bamboo rats that eat people but do not eat and bamboo rats that do not waste food have become the preferred targets for large-scale breeding at this stage.

The original pig breeding plan can be put back for the time being, and the existing pig herds can be left to breed and expand the herd.

The second is that the number of bamboo rats is large enough, and the growth rate and reproduction rate are fast enough, the female mouse can give birth to three to four litters a year, five to six per litter, and the young rats can give birth to pups in 60 days after pregnancy, and the young mice can enter the breeding period in 6 months.

That is to say, a litter of bamboo rats (one male and two females) can breed nearly 100 offspring a year according to the highest yield, which can form a very large-scale production in a short time.

This is still a litter of bamboo rats, what if there are 10,000 litters of bamboo rats?

You must know that this near-extinction operation to catch rats, the homeless people have caught a total of tens of thousands of bamboo rats!

If you raise it carefully, Kuyu City will have a farm of one million bamboo rats in a year!

A bamboo rat weighs four or five catties, and two or three catties of meat can be left when peeled and boneless.

Even if there are more than 30,000 displaced people in Kuyu City, one person can eat one a day enough to consume a month.

What's more, with the reproductive capacity of millions of bamboo rats, the speed at which such a small number of people in Kuyu City eat is definitely not as fast as their reproduction!

Eat three catties of meat every day, if the people of Datang know, it is estimated that they will have to sigh What kind of fairy life is this?

The main reason for the high consumption of food is the lack of oil, water and meat.

Do you see how many ordinary people in the future generations can eat one or two catties of rice at a meal, and they still feel unsatisfied?

Therefore, increasing meat consumption can reduce food consumption, and the sentence "why not eat minced meat" is still very reasonable, why not eat meat if you don't have food?

This made Bai Yuqi begin to seriously consider how to develop the bamboo rat breeding industry, and asked people to call his outer disciple Yu Chi Baolin, ready to let him be the director of this bamboo rat farm, and also summoned the rat keepers of the entire bamboo rat farm.

He plans to compile several books recommended to him by the system, such as "Bamboo Rat Breeding Technology", "Artificial Breeding and Disease Prevention and Control of Bamboo Rats", and "Scientific Breeding and Artificial Reproduction of Bamboo Rats", into a "Breeding Raccoon Sutra", which will be passed on as one of the "Si Zhi Tang and Si Animal Hall" of the two left and right halls of Shennongmen.
