Hearing this, Yong Xingwang's face immediately showed a look of confusion.

"General Hua, you don't let us hand over the grain, and you have to buy it at a high price? You—You're not joking, are you? ”

"Hehe, I'm not kidding." Hua Xing shook his head and said:

"In a few days, I will set up a special grain collection point in the camp, and you will know when you try it!"

"That's, it's like a thread of cloth, forced labor, and so on...... The general has to take it, right? Yong Xingwang said with a puzzled face.

"No, you don't! We will figure it out for ourselves in terms of military equipment. As for military service, those who want to join the army, of course, we welcome it, and we will give rich rewards, but we will never force it, and it is up to everyone to choose. ”

"Huh? This is not necessary? So, what should we do? ”

Listening to the other party and not wanting anything, Yong Xingwang always had a feeling that was not very real, and his face was full of surprise.

And Hua Xing, who was sitting opposite, replied with a smile:

"What do you want to do...... Hehe, in addition to a variety of food, I have something I want to ask you for help with. ”

"What's the matter? The general commanded! ”

After laughing, I heard Huaxing say:

"I want everybody to ...... Raise chickens! ”

"Chickens?" Yong Xingwang looked inexplicable, licked his lips and said:

"General Hua, if I remember correctly, there are more than a dozen families in the village who have chickens at home, aren't these enough?"

"Hehe, of course it's not enough!"

After shaking his head and smiling, he heard Huaxing finally say his true thoughts:

"When I talk about raising chickens, I am not raising three or five chickens in the free range like now, but large-scale breeding."

"Massive? How big is it? ”

"At least a thousand, otherwise it will be difficult to earn back." Huaxing said while thinking.

"What? Thousands? ”

Hearing this number, Yong Xingwang's eyes widened on the spot, and he said in disbelief:

"General Hua, it's not the old man who strikes you. How can so many chickens be fed? How can there be so many insects in the ground for them to eat? I'm afraid that in a few days, I will starve to death. ”

Regarding the matter of raising chickens, it was difficult for Huaxing to explain it to the village chief of Yong for a while.

After thinking about it, he simply skipped the explanation and directly mentioned the request to the other party:

"Village chief, what is the situation...... I'll tell you more about it next time, as long as you know that this matter will be of great benefit to our village. I now need you to help me find a vacant plot of land and build a chicken farm as required. In addition, help me gather the big brothers and sisters in the village who know how to raise chickens together to meet with me, can you help me coordinate this matter? ”

Whether it is finding vacant land or building a chicken farm, it is not a problem in Yong Xingwang's opinion, as long as he tells him what the chicken farm looks like, he will definitely be able to build it for Huaxing.

As for the villagers who raise chickens, it is even simpler, he can call them at any time to meet.

His only concern was how could so many chickens survive?

After thinking about it for a while, I saw that Yong Xingwang still said with a worried face:

"General Hua, these requirements are not difficult, it's just, it's just so many chicken ......"

But before he finished speaking, he saw Hua Xing suddenly grin and interrupt the other party's words:

"Haha, it's not difficult! How about we meet here tomorrow morning? Huaxing has thanked the village chief here! ”

……

When I came out of the village chief's house, it was almost noon.

As soon as Hua Xing walked to the door of the small courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of food.

As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, and he just happened to be in time for lunch for the three people in the hospital.

Seeing Huaxing coming back, Diao Chan hurriedly added a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice porridge for Huaxing, so he asked curiously:

"Why didn't you go to the barracks for dinner? I thought it would just be the three of me at noon. ”

"Oh, I just went to the village chief's house, and I came back by the way, and I just happened to have something to ask you." After a mouthful of rice porridge, I heard Hua Xing, who was sitting on a small stool, open his mouth and ask:

"After this period of contact, who do you think has good chickens in the village?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people sitting at the table frowned, not knowing what Hua Xing meant by asking.

Hua Tuo was the first to say with a puzzled face: "Raising chickens? And the good and the bad? ”

"Of course! It seems that Hua Lao has never paid attention to this matter? Hua Xing asked with a smile.

"I really didn't pay attention to that. Brother Hua, why did you suddenly ask about raising chickens? ”

"Oh, I plan to open a chicken farm in the village and strive to cultivate it into a pillar industry in our village." Huaxing said confidently.

Whether it is a chicken farm or a "spider" industry, Hua Tuo heard about it for the first time, and his face quickly showed a confused look. But before he could ask, he heard Diao Chan, who was sitting opposite, suddenly say:

"Oh, I see. What do adults mean that they want to raise a lot of chickens and then make money from them? Is that what it means? ”

"Haha! Or the girl of Diao Chan has won my heart! ”

After praising without hesitation, I heard Huaxing nod and replied:

"That's right! I'm planning to make a fortune raising chickens. However, it is not to use it to earn silver, but to exchange it for more food and grass security. ”

In this era when supply exceeds demand and food is not enough, although silver taels seem to be precious, in comparison, whether in the big city or in the remote countryside, its exchange power is actually not as good as Huang Cancan's grain.

In other words, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, grain was the real hard currency, especially in the event of catastrophes.

After living here for a few months, Huaxing has already seen through this matter, so he made this decision.

Hearing that Hua Xing praised Diao Chan so bluntly, Dong Bai, who was sitting directly opposite, was obviously a little unhappy, pouting and saying:

"How is it possible to raise chickens in exchange for food? Big devil, what nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that the chickens you raise can make gold? ”

Hearing this, Hua Xing was not angry at all, but replied with a smile:

"That's right! Did you guess it? Hehe, my chickens can really make gold in the future. ”

Can chickens lay gold?

It's just nonsense!

Even if it's a phoenix, you can't do it, right?

Hearing that Huaxing was talking nonsense again, Dong Bai glared at the other party and stopped talking, lowered his head and drank rice porridge.

But it didn't take long for Diao Chan, who was sitting on the side, to suddenly remember something, and asked uncertainly: "When adults say gold, do you mean chicken eggs?" ”

The so-called chicken eggs are eggs, which are called so in this era.

After listening to Diao Chan's speculation, Huaxing nodded approvingly again:

"Miss Diao Chan is so smart! That's right! The gold I'm talking about is chicken eggs. In our hometown, we call it eggs. ”

Hearing this, Hua Tuo seemed to understand something, poked his head out and asked:

"Oh, so you wanted to beat the chicken eggs, huh? Well, this thing is quite expensive, and when the old man collects medicine on weekdays, he has to spend fifty or sixty yuan to buy one. However, as far as I know, chicken eggs are also very difficult to obtain. Sometimes you can't get one in three or five days, and if you want to make a fortune from it, isn't it a little difficult? ”
