Chapter 287: The Big Farmers of the Tang Dynasty

This land was originally intended to be used for the construction of new houses in the future, but now it seems that it can only be used for farming.

It is the downwind of the village, and it is separated by the back mountain, which basically does not affect the living of the villagers.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Transform this land into land for breeding, and transfer chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs to be raised there." ”

Li Yifu asked curiously: "County marquis, it's just these poultry and livestock, this land is already enough, do you need such a big land?" ”

"Yes." Li Zheng raised his head to the sky and pinched his fingers and said, "I have calculated, within three days, the prince will come to Jingyang with more poultry." ”

Let Li Yifu bring a few strong men from the village, and Li Zheng and them came to the back mountain of the village.

This is the other end of the village, which was not originally considered a place in Jingyang County.

It's just that after Li Shimin rewarded the land, the land in Jingyang County expanded a lot.

Not far away is Niujia Village, which used to be the fiefdom of Niu Jinda.

Li Zheng said with some concern: "You said that if we build a farm here, the people of Niujia Village should not come to steal poultry." ”

"This county marquis can rest assured." Li Yifu said confidently: "Don't look at the fact that there are so many houses in Niujia Village, now there is only one family living there in Niujia Village, and that family is still a tenant of General Niu's family. ”

The uncles in the village have fenced off this piece of land together, and with the previous experience in building houses, it is natural to build a breeding farm now.

The farm doesn't need to do a good job, just build a big shed that can hold all the livestock, protected from wind and rain.

The fenced area can be used for stocking poultry on weekdays.

There is still a big difference between a few hundred pigs and two thousand, and the pig manure alone has to be cleaned a lot a day.

This is simply an order of magnitude, and the first thing is to solve the problem of feces.

Pig excrement should not be dumped casually, and it should be properly disposed of.

If it is dumped at will, it will damage the soil of a place, and even more seriously, it will affect the living conditions of the villagers.

Pig manure is also a good thing, it can be used as fertilizer and can also be used to make biogas.

Li Yifu didn't think so, and whispered to Xu Jingzong, who was watching the excitement: "Old Xu." ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Jingzong ate the tomato and handed one to Li Yifu, "The tomato in the field is ripe recently, do you want to eat one?" ”

Li Yifu didn't have much appetite, and said in a low voice: "You said that the county marquis raised so many livestock, why do you store so much dung, I remember that our county marquis does not have this preference." ”

Xu Jingzong also whispered: "Do you know what a master is? ”

Li Yifu was puzzled: "Do you think there are other reasons for the county marquis's approach." ”

Xu Jingzong sighed, "The master is, we will never understand what the master does, if you understand, do you think the county marquis is still high?" ”

Li Yifu thought thoughtfully, "The county marquis also said that the princes and princes who often come to the palace to announce the decree will bring thousands of pigs and thousands of chickens to Jingyang. ”

As expected, Wang Ding drove thousands of sows and hens to Jingyang the next day, and brought hundreds of catties of iron.

Let Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong count these livestock and poultry.

Also check if it's a hen or a sow.

Wang Ding said with an aggrieved face: "Does the county marquis suspect that the old slave gave an insufficient amount? ”

"I don't have to worry about doing things in the palace." Li Zheng smiled and said to Wang Ding: "Does the prince eat tomatoes?" ”

Wang Ding took a bite of the tomato as if he was angry, "County Marquis, this sow and poultry have been delivered, presumably County Marquis can make new weapons now." ”

Before Li Zheng could answer, Wang Ding said again: "This time, don't use inspiration to prevaricate the old slave. ”

"No, no, no." Li Zheng waved his hand again and again, "In less than six months, I can create a three-edged thorn." ”

"Six months?" Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "Will it be too long." ”

"Five months, no more." Li Zheng hurriedly said.

"Five months is too long." Wang Ding still looked anxious.

"Prince, this weapon is not a trivial matter, it requires the right time, place and people."

"The time, place and ......people are favorable," Wang Ding couldn't cry or laugh, "How can the old slave think that the county marquis is still prevaricating, so how can the old slave explain to His Majesty." ”

"Four months." Li Zheng reduced it for another month.

This Li Zheng is really too difficult to deal with, and he still drags on giving so many livestock and poultry.

Wang Ding hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the county marquis, in order to meet the county marquis, many villages near Chang'an have been hollowed out, and a lot of money has been spent. Three months can't be more. ”

"Okay, then three months." Li Zheng readily agreed.

Wang Ding was stunned, "Why does the old slave feel that he has been put on the table by the county marquis." ”

"This weapon is not so fast, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared, and divine weapons are generally not so easy to come out."

"That's right." Wang Ding nodded, "It's not early, the old slave has to go back to serve His Majesty, and I hope that the county marquis can step up forging weapons." ”

"It's all as it should be, the prince walks slowly."

"No need to send it." Wang Ding left with people.

Li Yifu came with the booklet after counting, "County marquis, there is no mistake, the number is just right." ”

Li Zheng looked back at the farm in front of him, this is the only household in Datang.

Datang's breeding industry is not very good, many families are free-range, and even if there is pork, ordinary people raise it privately to eat.

Besides, people in this era don't like to eat pork very much.

Aquaculture is a very important industry, and meat is a kind of food that people cannot lack in their daily needs.

The development of aquaculture industry is an indispensable part, of course, the Central Plains people are born with the habit of breeding, but there has never been a large-scale breeding of large households.

Livestock farming, like agriculture, is two important pillars of development.

Like the Japanese people, agriculture did not flourish by living on the sea, and eating some salted fish was enough to satisfy their stomachs.

It is not unreasonable that the growth is not high, and before the later generations of the Wa Kingdom entered the industry, the nobles of the Wa State did not let the people eat meat under the situation of the prosperous Wa Kingdom of Buddhism.

This also led to the fact that the Japanese people were getting shorter and shorter.

Using 20 acres of land to build a special farm is still a bit too wasteful for the people in the village.

Many villagers are watching, and the court has given a lot of sows and hens, thinking that the children in Jingyang County will not have to worry about having no meat to eat after they come.

There is no need to worry about a few eggs, and the children in Jingyang will have no problem eating eggs every morning in the future.

Although it was a bit wasteful, the aunts in the village were still happy to see so many hens and sows.

Li Shimin received Wang Ding's report, although he didn't know why Li Zheng was such a sow and hen, but it was just some poultry, could he Li Zheng still use these poultry to make a fortune?

Li Shimin said indifferently: "Three months later, if Li Zheng can't come up with a new weapon, he will take it into Dali Temple." ”

Wang Ding bowed down and responded, "Huh." ”
