In the Tang fleet led by Li An, several supply ships were raised with live animals, and the number was relatively large, especially rabbits, which traveled all the way and bred all the way, and the number never declined.

The number of sheep and pigs has dropped slightly, and even if some are replenished in the countries along the way, they have not been able to increase their numbers, and only rabbits, which are perverted in reproductive ability, have never refused to drop their numbers, even if you eat too much.

In fact, Li An didn't know that the staff on the supply ship were secretly eating rabbit meat all the way, anyway, the rabbits were breeding too fast, and no one could check the quantity, if they didn't eat more, the pressure of breeding would become more and more great, and it was not too easy to supply green fodder from the way, and it was often busy for a long time, and the staff were also very tired.

As soon as he heard that there were still 2,000 rabbits, Li An was very happy, and with these rabbits, the local people had something to do.

"Immediately select 500 male rabbits and 500 female rabbits, and teach the local people the techniques of raising rabbits as soon as possible."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to give the order.

These rabbits are delicious meat rabbits, although not as cute as pet rabbits, but enough meat, vitality is tenacious enough, half-year-old rabbits are leveraged, even three or four months of rabbits can give birth, however, do not try it easily, because too young rabbits are not fully developed, easy to cause dystocia and stillbirth.

In the local area, the grass and leaves of breeding rabbits are very abundant, and there is no need to worry about food problems at all, and breeding rabbits, in addition to the need for food, also need a special rabbit cage to prevent rabbits from escaping, in the non-breeding time, to breed male rabbits and female rabbits separately, so that they can grow more healthily, only when breeding, they are placed in the same cage, and they are separated after mating.

It is not difficult to make rabbit cages, the local forest resources are rich enough, because of the continuous demand for shipbuilding, the local demand for wood is also strong, which directly leads to the fact that the wood required for rabbit cages has become very convenient.

Li An asked the Datang craftsmen to teach the local people to make rabbit cages, and asked them to make more, because the rabbits multiply too fast, and if the wooden cages made are too small, they will soon be insufficient.

The production of the cage was handed over to the local people, a pair of rabbits were given away for free, and the breeding technology was all taught, without asking the local people for a penny, which made the local people very happy, and their impression of Datang was much better.

In addition, in order to win the hearts of the people, Li An ordered to reduce the taxes of the people in the territory obtained by the Tang Dynasty, and reduce the amount of taxes by half to reduce the burden of the people, this move won the recognition and support of the people, and the slogan of Long Live Datang was even shouted by the local people.

The rabbits distributed to the people are distributed according to the village, a village sends a pair of rabbits, if it is a relatively large village with a larger population, then divide a few more pairs of rabbits, and let the whole village take care of these rabbits, especially children who have nothing to do with birds, when they are idle, they can go to the wild to cut grass to feed the rabbits.

Many of these rabbits are already pregnant, and it only takes a short time to give birth, and at most a year, the local rabbits will have a huge number.

Geometric multipliers can be terrible, and when there is enough food, the local rabbits will inevitably breed in large numbers, and eventually the local people will be able to eat meat.

In Ang Lee's view, the ideal situation is that all families can raise rabbits, anyway, every family has idlers, such as children and the like, they only need to go to the wild to mow the grass more, so that the growth and reproduction of rabbits can be ensured, so that the whole family can eat meat.

The effect of breeding rabbits is definitely much faster than that of the experimental field, but it also takes a few months, so Li An can only confirm this result when he returns to Datang in the future.

The fact that the Tang Dynasty was able to acquire a large territory in the subcontinent region with a little trickery made Li Ang very excited, and at the same time, it also made the officials of the Tang Dynasty court cheer, and the Datang newspaper founded by Li An himself also published this explosive good news on the front page.

At the same time, many businessmen also played the imperial court, pointing out that the Maritime Silk Road does have high development value along the way, and put forward their own ideas, so that more people can realize how wise Li An is to open up the Maritime Silk Road.

Of course, the content of the Datang Daily is also constantly spreading outward, and Ang Lee can now see the content of the Datang Daily a month ago, and the content of the recent periodicals, because it is too far away, it is naturally impossible to know.

Far away from overseas, he can get information about Chang'an City from time to time, which makes Li Ang very pleased, and it also makes this boring life have a little adjustment.

The R&D center launches new products from time to time, so that the lives of the people have been greatly improved, but because there is no personal guidance of Li An, all the new products launched are some improved products of existing machinery, and there is no major breakthrough, however, this continuous improvement is also good, and the technical accumulation of R&D talents can be gradually increased, so that when Li An returns to Chang'an City, he can personally guide them to develop more cross-era new machinery.

In order to consolidate the land that has been obtained, Li An and his huge fleet have to stay in the subcontinent for about a month, and his subordinates have a lot of things to do, and Li An is the one at the helm, so many things naturally do not need to be done personally, only need to command.

This gave Ang Lee a lot of free time to take a few people to play in the beautiful forest to kill this boring waiting time.

The Lion Country, a large island, is very rich in natural resources and has a lot of minerals, but if you want to say that the production is high and the popularity is also very high, you have to talk about the gems of the Lion Country.

The Lion Nation has always been a country rich in gemstones, and the production of gemstones is very abundant, and it is easy to find exciting gems in the brooks in the wild, and there are also special gem mines.

Ang Lee didn't have the time to dig the mines himself, but it was a very pleasant thing to walk up the rivers and see the streams in the upper reaches of these rivers.

The closer you get upstream, the more beautiful the scenery becomes, giving you the feeling of entering a fairyland.

Ang Lee took Yuna and Beauty, as well as a dozen guards, and, of course, local guides, to the river and saw the beautiful scenery along the way.

These fairyland-like scenery made Li An very happy, however, the source of the river is too far away, and it is not easy to find it, and the further you go into the mountains, the greater the danger factor, and if you are not careful, a huge beast will emerge, in addition, there are poisonous insects and other attacks, which make people unguardable.

However, as long as there are experienced guides, these threats are nothing, these native hunters have long found a way to deal with these guys, no matter how big the threat of animals is, but in front of intelligent humans, it is still not worth mentioning.

The stream at the source is very clear, you can see the bottom at a glance, and in some of the deeper water holes, you can also see some small fish that are not too big, these small fish are not necessarily freshwater fish, some of them are marine fish that migrate to freshwater to spawn, and after spawning, they will return to the sea.

The eggs hatch in fresh water, and when the fry grow to a certain size, they swim into the sea with the current, where they grow up slowly, and then during the breeding season, they still come to the upstream stream in groups to lay eggs, repeating this process from generation to generation, creating a miracle of life.

The upper reaches of the stream are mountains, and there are many rocks, including rare gemstones, which have become very round under the long-term erosion of the stream, and are washed downstream step by step, so that people can easily obtain these gems.

However, there are still not many truly precious gems in this stream, and most of the round stones are ordinary pebbles, which are not very valuable, and as long as the valuable gems are found, they will definitely be taken and sold for money.

The temperature of the water flow is okay, not too cold, people feel more comfortable standing in the water, especially stepping on the round pebbles under the soles of the feet, the feeling is similar to the effect of massage.

These pebbles are large and small, colorful, and some stones have several colors, of course, not all pebbles, there are also not very smooth, and even angular.

The more rounded stones are naturally caused by the long-term erosion of the water flow, while those with edges and corners have just been impacted by the water not too long ago, because the impact time of the water flow is relatively short, so the edges and corners of the stone have not been smoothed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, only round gems are the most valuable, and for ordinary stones with water chestnuts, they will not take it to heart, so the most difficult to find in the creek is round gems.

Li An picked up a few stones casually, they were not very expensive pebbles, and they couldn't be sold for a few dollars, but they still looked very good, and it was a good choice to put them in a fish tank.

"Ah Lang, these stones are colorful, they are really beautiful, is this a gem?"

Yuna picked up a large handful of stones and said happily.

Li An smiled: "Fool, the valuable gems have been picked up by the local people, and the ordinary stones you are holding in your hands are worthless, so what kind of gems are they?" ”

"But these stones are really very beautiful!"

Yuna pouted.

Li An smiled: "Since you think it looks good, then you can pick up more, there are so many pebbles here, enough for you to be busy." ”

"Huh!"

Yun'er smiled, bent down and happily picked up stones in the stream, several guards behind him followed with baskets, and the stones Yun'er picked up would be thrown directly into the basket in the hands of the guards, after all, stones are very heavy things, and they will be very tired after picking up too much, and the guards will pick up a few when they see the stones they like, and they will also pick up a few and put them in their pockets.

Ang Lee didn't pick up the stones in the water, it was enough to have Yun'a and the beautiful woman pick up the stones, he just had to look at it, there was such a wonderful scenery, why bother bending down to pick up the stones by himself? Besides, these stones are indeed very ordinary, and there is no reason why Li Ang is worth bending over.

"Bang ......"

Yun'er picked up a large stone with a smooth surface, but after picking it up, she found that the stone was not rounded, but an irregular shape, and she was immediately disappointed and threw it away.

"Show me it."

Ang Lee noticed the stone and felt familiar.

The guard took the stone and handed it to Ang Lee.

"Pork belly, good! This stone is worth collecting. ”

When Li An saw this stone, he seemed quite happy, this stone was not an ordinary stone, but a standard meat stone.

The surface of this stone is very bright, and the color of the side is layered, which is so similar to the pork belly that you think it is pork belly that has just come out of the pot at first glance?

"Ah Lang, this stone is not round, what's so good."

Yuna asked with a puzzled look when she saw that Ang Lee liked the stone she had just thrown away.

Li An picked up the stone and asked, "Yun'er, take a closer look, what does this stone look like?" ”

Yun'er tilted her head, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with a slight smile: "Ah Lang, this stone is a bit like the pork belly we eat, it's really too similar." ”

The beautiful woman also came over, nodded and said, "That's right, Ah Lang, this is indeed the appearance of braised pork, it's really amazing, there are stones that can grow into braised pork." ”

Li An said seriously: "This kind of stone that can grow into pork belly is relatively rare, and its value is relatively high, much more valuable than those round gemstones. ”

"Oh, why is this stone of pork belly so valuable?"

Yuna asked curiously.

Li An said with a smile: "Things are rare, the rarer things are, the more expensive they are, in this stream, there can be a few pork belly, and the reason why there are fewer gems is because people often pick them up, so this piece of pork belly is very valuable." ”

"Ah Lang, I found this pork belly stone first, so give it to me!"

Yun'er smiled and said.

Li An frowned and said: "It is true that you found it first, but you don't know the goods, so you threw it away, so this stone can't be considered yours, besides, you are not short of money, what do you want this stone for." ”

"Ah Lang, can you send me to play for a few days? You won't lose it. ”

Yuna pleaded.

Li An said very generously: "Stupid, what I joke with you, no matter how precious it is, it is just a stone, as long as you want it, I will reward you." ”

Although this pork belly stone, Ang Lee likes it very much, but Ang Lee is not good at this bite, compared with strange stones, Ang Lee prefers beauties, if you can make the beauty happy, you can break the stone and throw it.
