Chapter 384: Ruling a Thousand with One

Shi Lei also spent a lot of time on continuing his wood carving. This can be regarded as a rare artistic cell from Shi Lei, and it can be regarded as a hobby to shorten the distance between him and Laura. Nowadays, the subject matter of Shi Lei's carving is not limited to pets and livestock on the ranch.

From time to time, he would also carve according to the sketches drawn by Laura. Even occasionally, I will make a creation zĂ o, such as the trip to Africa in my impression, and the animals I have seen, all of which are presented on my wood carvings.

It seems that Shi Lei's level is still good, and even Laura, a discerning designer, has given affirmation. Although there are some factors of love for the house and Wu, it still shows that Shi Lei's wood carving skills are already worthy of affirmation.

Then Shi Lei was very attentive and began to try to carve things with traditional themes. For example, Zhong Kui, Fu Lu Suxi, etc. He has a long-term goal, which is to go back and practice enough skills to start carving some panes and other things. Replace all the windows in the home with wooden panes made by yourself, so that the whole home has a more Chinese garden atmosphere.

As Shi Lei's wood carving becomes more and more smooth, it really has some buffing effect on his flying knife skills. Mainly for the knife in the hand, I have become familiar with the application to the point where I can do it more freely. When the flying knife is used, it is naturally a lot more certain.

Nowadays, within 10 meters, you can find a place at will and you can go with the knife, it is no longer a problem to point where to hit, and it is guaranteed that every stroke can hit the bull's-eye.

Shi Lei's next goal is to make the flying knife truly a combat skill with actual combat ability. First of all, you have to be able to hit moving targets, and then you have to practice how to hit various stationary or moving targets while you are also moving. After that, this flying knife skill can really be taken out of the door.

And Shi Lei has always insisted on training, and another new skill has also made a lot of progress. Archery is a thing that can almost fly in a straight line for a short distance, after the distance is long enough. You can only choose the form of curve projectile.

Fortunately, Shi Lei's expected target range is not so far, as long as it is within the range of direct shooting, the accuracy can be guaranteed. Shi Lei's bow has a great pulling force, and the same range is much farther, and most of the prey can be taken out by relying only on the range of direct shots.

If the range reaches the level of 100 meters, it is better to use the gun directly. Shi Lei doesn't have to, he has to change the law to make it difficult for himself.

Similar to the situation of flying knives, Shi Lei is still relatively sure of fixed targets. But the moving target still needs to be well trained. It is also the focus of Shi Lei's next effort.

After confirming the situation at home, Shi Lei said goodbye to Laura for the time being, and prepared to leave for Kangaroo Country to take over the huge real estate.

Shi Lei chose the largest plot of land for the first stop, a huge land in the heart of Kangaroo Country, some desertification, located in Queensland.

In addition to taking over the remaining nearly 100,000 beef cattle, Shi Lei also left more than 100 staff members of the original ranch. Of course, not in its entirety.

After Shi Lei asked the original owner, all he left behind were those cowboys and workers who worked diligently and steadfastly. Those who are suspected of stealing and cheating, and those who are full of complaints. It's all cleared.

For the original rancher, it may be a team of 150 people to lead 185,000 beef cattle for grazing, which is still relatively tense. Everyone's strings are tight. I'm afraid that which guy will really pick on him and quit.

The environment in the middle of the kangaroo country is really not a very comfortable place, and the cowboys who want to come are still relatively limited. It's not easy to add enough to your team.

But for Shi Lei. I don't worry too much about these issues. He just needs to keep these people who work hard. It is enough to support the grazing of 200,000 beef cattle, because Shi Lei has a large number of pasture dogs.

In addition to the batches that were successively sent to the Blood Lion Security Company, these dogs played the main role. Naturally, it is constantly replenished to various pastures.

Whether it's cattle or sheep. Even to drive away the poultry. Or to lead the herd, these dogs from the stone pasture, the expression is very satisfying.

A dog can be used even more than a cowboy or two. Especially when it comes to driving these animals, these clever dogs always understand the cowboys' intentions very well, and immediately give instructions to the herd according to the cowboys' intentions.

The scale of livestock raised in each ranch under the Stone Ranch is constantly expanding, and the demand for dogs is naturally expanding.

So there will always be dogs that will be sent over with the livestock to replenish them. Especially for the herding of domestic pigs, after the establishment of that ranch, dozens of dogs were replenished at one time.

But fortunately, there is a stone ranch here, and there is still a large dog herd. Although there are a lot of them, these dogs can also give birth. There can be several dogs in a litter, and there are often seven or eight dogs.

The growth rate of the dog population is not only able to meet the needs of individual farms, but there is also a lot of leftover. Even if it is sold, in the hands of the Middle Eastern tycoons, and those in the surrounding wealthy homes, the number of dogs still grows.

Shi Lei also has a plan for this, and every time the stone ranch is left to do seeds, it will be the best of the latest generation of dogs. Since it is a seed, it must be the best of the best.

Each generation is stronger than the last, and this is a general trend. And the other dogs that are a little worse will definitely be sent out. And basically after being castrated, it will be sent to the new owner.

This can ensure that this new variety born in Shi Lei's hands will not flow out. And after the dog is castrated, the temper will also become much better and become more peaceful. And without the trouble of estrus, there will be no abnormal situations.

And this time, the number of dogs sent to the new huge territory will even exceed the number of cowboys. Shi Lei plans to deliver dogs according to the ratio of one dog taking care of 1,000 beef cattle.

In addition, some dogs will be sent to each plot separately for guarding and security. Such a large area of land must be more unobstructed than Shi Lei's many pastures. All kinds of wild animals are not allowed to live arbitrarily within the ranch.

Although there are no strong predators in the kangaroo country, in order to ensure the safety of the staff, it is still necessary to put some dogs in the workers' residential areas to ensure their personal safety.

In fact, in these places, only these workers are there, and there are only more than 100 people in 100,000 square kilometers. This population density is indeed too small, and it looks much more desolate.

Now with more than 200 new dogs, it's a lot more vibrant. After all, beef cattle and dogs, the relationship with humans, and the feeling they give people, are definitely different. (To be continued......)
