Chapter 16 Buying a puppy
After buying the ranch, Qin Xiuwu was free and visited his ranch carefully for the first time.
80,000 acres is a terrible number. Many people may just think that the area is large, but they don't know how big it is.
Here's an example to make it clear. 80,000 acres is converted into square kilometers, which is 53 square kilometers. The entire Macao Special Administrative Region is only 29 square kilometers.
In other words, this ranch is nearly twice the size of Macau.
Even in the interior, there is an area of one township, enough to accommodate forty to fifty villages. Now such a large area is surnamed Qin, which makes Qin Xiuwu have a huge sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The fly in the ointment is that there is little grass in this pasture now, and there are not many cattle and sheep grazing in it, which looks a little desolate. It is completely impossible to show the scene of cattle and sheep on the grassland, the sky is vast and the sky is vast, and the wind blows the grass and shows the cattle and sheep.
When you look up, you can see hares running around everywhere, and they don't dodge when they see people coming, and they completely regard this place as their home.
From time to time, you can see flocks of sparrows chirping in the sky, densely packed with thousands of feet, giving people a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.
Where is this pasture scene, some people believe that it is a wilderness.
Fortunately, Qin Xiuwu was not without a way to deal with it, otherwise even if this ranch was cheap, it would be impossible for him to buy it.
Walking and walking, Qin Xiuwu came to the river, which was the essence of the pasture. A small meandering river that winds its way from north to south through the middle of the pasture.
The abundant water on both sides of the river is extremely lush pasture, and even in the most difficult times Has-Erdun did not give up this place, making it a home for hares.
There are three small lakes on the creek, two of which are smaller and sit on the upper and lower sides of the pasture.
Another large lake, seven or eight hundred acres, sits in the middle of the pasture. To the north of the lake is a hill on which Has-Erdun's farm home is located. Standing on a high platform high in the hills, Qin Xiuwu could look down on the entire territory of the pasture.
The river flows from the east side of the hill, then turns around in the south, forms a small lake on the south side of the hill, and flows to the south.
In the south of the hill where the lake meets, the terrain is gentle and has hundreds of acres of land. A variety of fruits and vegetables are grown on it, and most of them are now ripe.
Qin Xiuwu only felt that it was worth the money when he saw this.
After handing over the key here with Has-Erdun, Qin Xiuwu locked the gate and rode towards the tribe.
The ranch was in ruins, and he couldn't keep himself busy alone, and now the main thing was to recruit some employees from the tribe.
And the people of the tribe are the best choice, when he was in the tribe, he often saw that some young people, sitting on the side of chatting, thinking that there would be people interested in coming here to work.
The first person Qin Xiuwu went to find when he returned to the tribe was Uncle Batu. He was the leader of the tribe, and it would be easy for him to intervene.
Seeing Qin Xiuwu coming, Batu ignored it. This was because Qin Xiuwu ignored his opinion and bought such a ranch at such a great price. This made Batu, who had always regarded Qin Xiuwu as a nephew, how could he not be angry in his heart.
Qin Xiuwu didn't say anything on his face, he was actually a little moved in his heart, how could he be angry because of this kind of thing if he wasn't really for his good, and it was too late to hide aside and watch the jokes.
Qin Xiuwu bowed deeply to Batu and said, "I know that uncle, you are for my good, but I am not a child, so I naturally have my own thoughts in my heart. There are some things I can't tell you, but I can promise that I will build this ranch well and live up to your expectations of me. I've been in the tribe for two years, and it's not that you don't know who I am, when I've done something I'm not sure about. ”
Batu's face looked a little good, and he said in a deep voice, "You young people always do things without regard for the consequences. How many years have I been on the prairie, and I haven't seen anything. The ecological balance of that ranch was so damaged that even I, a perennial herder, spent a lot of money to repair it. Do you think you can succeed? ”
Qin Xiuwu looked around and leaned in his ear mysteriously, and said, "It's not that I belittle you, you grew up in Inner Mongolia, you only have this world in your eyes, and you don't know a lot of things outside. China has been up and down for 5,000 years, how many secrets are buried in it? Have you ever heard of the national arts, but do you know the power of the national arts?
Now that technology is so advanced, how many amazing technologies are there. It's all you don't know. How do you know that there is no solution? ”
Batu stared at Qin Xiuwu's clear eyes for a while, and then compromised, "Okay, I've convinced you, what's the matter with you coming back to me today." ”
"You also know that after I bought the ranch, the herdsmen under Has-Erdun left there and went elsewhere to find another way to make a living. Now I am the only one in the whole ranch, and it is impossible to operate, and I wonder if any of the good boys of the tribe are willing to work with me. I also asked my uncle to help me with this.
Batu patted his chest and reassured, "In this matter, it is easy to say, the destroyed ecological balance has actually affected the tribe's side. A lot of people don't have anything to do now, and I'm always ready to ask them to help if you want. ”
"Thank you, uncle, I don't know where to sell puppies, I want to buy some for grazing."
"I have a few puppies at home, and you can always take them back if you want," Batu said. ”
"Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not going to buy a few, but to buy hundreds or thousands of dogs."
Batu was a little strange, thought for a moment and said, "You're not going to use dogs against hares, are you?" I'm telling you that's a good idea, but it's not realistic. Do you know how many hares are in that ranch? By my estimation, it is no less than 200,000. Not to mention that it is not easy for dogs to train to be hunting dogs. Even if you train successfully, it won't do much to face an overwhelming amount of hares. ”
Qin Xiuwu said in a word, he knew that there were a lot of hares in the pasture, but he didn't expect it to be this desperate number. Two hundred thousand! On average, there are three hares per acre. Coupled with the fact that hares reproduce quickly, there is simply no one to deal with them.
Fortunately, he had other ideas, and just said to Batu, "Uncle, please rest assured, I just want to train the shepherd dogs now, and I don't plan to deal with hares." Also ask my uncle to send someone to help me buy puppies. ”
Seeing that he insisted, Batu didn't say anything more, but just asked him the number and type of puppies he was going to buy, and asked him to go back and wait for news.
In just three days, Qin Xiuwu bought all the puppies he wanted, and of course, Qin Xiuwu's money was indispensable.
Four hundred border herders, two hundred Tibetan mastiffs, and two hundred German black-backed wolf dogs, this is the number of puppies that Qin Xiuwu wants. And all of them are puppies under 3 months old.
The farm staff who sent the puppies were also a little stunned when they saw so many puppies playing and playing together.
That's a whole 800, and even those large farms rarely have this number of dogs. Playing and playing together, not being convinced by each other can make people have a headache to death.
Now these managers have not left like this, and after they leave, how many people will be needed to manage them.
Batu looked at Qin Xiuwu who came over and said, "How about it, do you regret it, so many dogs, even if they are just fed, it is enough to make you blind." If you want me to say it's better to go back all of them! ”
Qin Xiuwu shook his head, smiled mysteriously, walked to a dirt dog that had been lying on the side listlessly, and said, "Ah Huang has seen you." ”
Hearing this, Ah Huang stood up and screamed. With its barking, the barking of dogs sounded in the originally peaceful tribe, not one or two, but all the dogs in the tribe began to howl and quickly ran towards this side. If you can't come on a leash, bury your head in the ground as a sign of submission.
The puppy who didn't take Ah Huang seriously trembled when he heard his bark, stopped playing, and was so frightened that he lay on the ground.
It's not over when all the dogs in the tribe come running, and from time to time stray wild dogs come to join the team.
Batu and the others looked straight, this is a soil dog, and some people believe that it is the wolf king's patrol. Batu was even more shocked, he didn't take it seriously when he saw that Qin Xiuwu brought back a soil dog from his hometown, who would have thought that this earth dog would have such a majestic side.
The person in charge of a farm found Qin Xiuwu and said, "This is really a good dog, and I am willing to pay one million to buy it, how about it." If you don't like the money, you can still negotiate. ”
Qin Xiuwu glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain. The other party smiled brightly and did not mention it again. Such a psychic dog is something that money can measure.
