Chapter 7: Hunting and Breeding

After two days of construction, the hunting base finally completed the construction of the outer wall, and the public facilities were also completed, such as toilets and public baths.

People from other worlds also retain the unsanitation of medieval Europeans on Earth, and they feel inexplicable about having to go to the toilet in a designated place and bathe at least once a week, but Lelouch has an unusual dedication to cleanliness, in addition to personal reasons, preventing diseases and cultivating the sense of obedience of the people is also a very important factor.

In order to ensure the implementation of the system, Lelouch formulated extremely strict regulations, and the heaviest punishment would even affect the distribution of rations for his whole family, and the members of the standing team who had initially trusted Lelouch also carried out Lelouch's orders very loyally, so although the camp had been established for two days, the sanitary environment inside it was very clean.

After ensuring his initial safety, Lelouch took out a lot of labor and prepared to start hunting, after all, the food and drink of these five hundred people is not a small amount every day, even with the supplement of the north wind dense forest, if the scale of hunting is not expanded as soon as possible and wild animals are captured for breeding, Lelouch does not know how long he can last.

As early as after Lelouch became the lord of the city, he had sent people to explore the North Wind Jungle many times in the name of training, coupled with the preparation of these two days, it can be said that the North Wind Forest is close to the edge of Limburg, and it has been mastered by Lelouch, just the deer herd found on the periphery has reached more than 2,000 heads, this is still the most marginal area, if you explore further, the number of deer will definitely be more, not counting other pheasants, hares, Wild boar, if you add wild fruits and vegetables, the north wind jungle itself is a treasure land that will continue to produce food without taking care of it.

This is also the reason why the North Wind Jungle was once able to attract the attention of the discerning elves.

Lelouch mobilized two hundred men this time, divided into five teams, each team of forty people, including ten standing soldiers and one knight to lead the team, if not to lead the knight only five people Libert, according to Lelouch's plan to distribute more teams.

According to the pre-determined plan, the five teams surrounded the two herds of five hundred deer in a general manner, leaving an exit on the side facing the camp, and the otherwise quiet dense forest instantly became lively as a specially selected loud man roared in the middle of the tall tree. (In the quiet forest, shouting from high places often reaches extremely long distances!)

The five teams at the same time made a loud noise with torches and drums, and at the same time they hurried towards the middle, and the deer and various small animals in the encirclement were frightened by the sudden noise, and at the same time rushed in the direction where there was no sound, and soon the streams merged into rivers, and the rivers merged into the tide, and the earth seemed to be shaken by the dense stampede.

Looking from the sky, the dense beast tide is like a flood unstoppably rushing in one direction, and there will be a few unlucky people who accidentally fall down from time to time along the way, and after falling, there is no chance to stand up, when have the people of Limburg seen such a crazy picture, if it were not for the constant urging of the knights, maybe the crowd would have forgotten what they should continue to do.

Soon, the beast tide rushed out of the trees at the edge of the dense forest, and in front of them was the endless plain, except for a huge wooden "stake" in the middle, there seemed to be nothing to stop them from escaping the annoying noise, but...

With the order of Lelouxiu, who had been waiting outside, the people guarding outside struggled to pull up several thick ropes, and the sudden appearance of the frontal rope tripped the raging beast tide to the ground, and the sudden tripping in front led to a series of chain reactions of the beast tide behind, the animals fell to the edge of the dense forest, were trampled to death, and soon, on the grass outside the dense forest, the shocking animal corpses accumulated.

Looking at the pile of corpses that were accumulating rapidly, Lelouch also put his heart to his throat, for fear that he would misestimate the number of beasts and cause the rope to collapse and hurt the people behind, but fortunately, Lelouch was not ready to eat a big fat man in one bite, and the impact of the beasts only lasted less than fifteen minutes before stopping, but even so, looking at the mountains of beasts outside the woodland, the residents of Limburg let out a fanatical shout, raising the tools that had been prepared and swarming.

According to the predetermined division of labor, the middle-aged laborers quickly carried the corpses out and put them on the grass on the side, while the remaining few people dragged a stretcher-like thing to transport the corpses back to the camp, and the children and the elderly quickly dismembered the animals with knives in the camp, and put almost all the things in it in a categorical manner, even the internal organs were placed separately, and the real value of these things could be known to Lelouch of the big foodie empire.

Whether offal is used to make simple fertilizer or marinated into food, it has a lot of value, and for Lelouch, who is now poor and white, these are priceless treasures.

The whole camp became jubilant because of the unexpected harvest, and Lelouch was also very generous in deciding to eat barbecue tonight, drink mixed soup, and have a pure meat feast, the morale of the crowd who heard the news was undoubtedly higher, and the movements in their hands felt a little faster, and at the same time, everyone was also impressed by Leluxiu's magical means of turning decay into magic, and now everyone would respectfully call the city lord when they saw Leluxiu, and the fifty standing soldiers were even more reluctant to implement any request made by Lelouxiu。

The frenzy lasted until dinner, when the cook and a few strong women prepared a huge bonfire, and the enticing aroma of meat spread throughout the camp, and the crowd reluctantly put down their work and gathered together to eat and drink, and Lelouch only made a symbolic appearance and ate the first piece of meat, and left.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat together, but because he still has a lot of things to do, at this time in Lelouch's separate wooden house, Kenon and Libert have been waiting here, a logistics young soldier, specially brought a food for Lelouch and the three of them to discuss and eat.

Kenon hurriedly ate a few bites of tender barbecue, drank down the chop soup, and let out a satisfied moan, and then began to report non-stop:

"Lord of the city, we have gained a lot this time, and the specific data are as follows:"

"521 tons of venison, 850 tons if you add offal (the earth's moose weigh a ton!), plus wild boars, hares, pheasants and all kinds of small animals, we have collected about 1,200 tons of meat alone, enough for all the food rations of the inhabitants of Limburg for the next year!"

Speaking of this, Kenon swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued:

"As for leather, we have harvested a total of 600 pairs, and it is estimated that we can make 350 pairs of leather armor, which means that we can arm at least 350 medium-sized soldiers. ”

When Kenon said this, Liebert's eyes lit up obviously, this is Kennon's report is also finished, after all, it is just a hunt, and there is nothing to say about the specific data, Liebert stood up and continued:

"There were no casualties in this hunting event in strict accordance with the arrangements of adults, only four people received minor skin injuries because they were accidental, but it was not a big deal, and in general, this event was a complete success. ”

After Libert's words, Lelouch smiled with satisfaction, with such a successful experience, then the future is nothing more than to continue to repeat the old tricks, I believe that after a month of this kind of work, we can solve the food shortage crisis in Limburg in a short time, but Lelouch is not satisfied with this, because in Lelouch's conception, the next year will be the year of the population explosion in Limburg, Lelouch needs a large amount of food to meet the surging population, and this kind of hunting alone is definitely not enough, after all, the same trick is used too much, no matter how stupid the animal is, it will have a long memory, and there are so many peripheral animals in the north wind forestIt is impossible to support such a large-scale hunt in Limburg for a long time.

In Lelouch's heart, the ultimate solution to the food crisis is to rely on his own reproduction, and the key to reproduction is to seek low-input, high-yield animals to breed and find extremely fast ripening crops.

There are undoubtedly three types of animals that offer high returns: pigs, chickens, and rabbits!

After thinking about it, Lelouch set his sights on chickens and rabbits, one is that their growth cycle is shorter than that of pigs, and the other is that their reproductive ability is stronger than that of pigs, and chickens and rabbits have special characteristics, rabbits are characterized by particularly strong reproductive ability, and especially fast, and eat grass plants everywhere, and chickens can be safely stocked, and after the scale, eggs are a large product, it can be said that chickens and rabbits have enough to brighten the blind light point, especially at the moment when Lelouch pursues short, flat and fast。

Of course, if the foundation is set up in the later stage, it will still come to pig breeding in the end, after all, the same input-output ratio is still the highest pig, but that is a later story.

In addition to preparing large-scale breeding of chickens and rabbits, Lelouch prepared very simple crops, one was cabbage and potatoes that were already in Limburg, and the other was mushrooms.

Don't underestimate mushrooms, as long as the mushrooms give him a suitable environment, people almost don't have to care, a batch can mature in a few days, the raw materials are also the most indispensable logs in Limburg, it can be said that it is the fastest crop that can see the effect at present, just in the past few days, the first batch of mushrooms has grown on the logs that Lelouch experimented in advance, and today Lelouxiu's food has opened a small stove, stewed a pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, the fragrance makes Lelouch want to swallow his tongue.

At present, the rabbits and chickens are already available, and they are all ready to be sent to Limburg for breeding, and the chickens and rabbits will continue to be sent to Limburg to expand the scale of production, and the logs are also piled up and can be transported back at any time.
