Chapter 68 Development of aquaculture

After arranging the potato planting matter, Feng Youcai's heart went to a big heart, thinking that if the potato was successfully promoted, there should not be so many people starving to death when this Xiaoice River arrived, and there would not be so many uprisings, at least it could leave some popularity for the northwest.

As the saying goes: the ground is raised by dung, and the seedlings grow by dung. Manure is the food of plants, is the necessary nutrients for the growth of crops, fertilizing farmland is an important condition to increase yield and seize a bumper harvest. In order to increase farmers' cropping income, it is necessary to expand the source of farm fertilizer.

Raising pigs is definitely not suitable for the northwest now, and even the food for people is not enough, how can there be food for pigs to eat, if you don't eat grain, pigs will not grow; If you raise cattle, the growth cycle is too long, and the reproduction is too slow, and it is okay to have a few cows in each village to cultivate the land, and it is obviously impossible to get rich by raising cattle; Then you can only choose to raise sheep, sheep reproduction is fast, the growth cycle is short, it is very suitable for the current rural wealth, and sheepskin is now the main source of warm clothes for people in winter.

So Feng Youcai went to Hexi District again, and asked the cavalry stationed here to rob those small tribes in the north, and to rob them all the way to the west of Dengkou County, close to the back of the place, to snatch back the cattle, sheep and horses. The sheep in their own pasture leave only the best ewes; The rams, the ewes, and the lambs, all drove back to the thousand households.

First of all, the sheep should be distributed to officers and soldiers, government functionaries, and teachers, and the government and township chiefs should enjoy the treatment of 100 households in the security army, and the other personnel should enjoy the treatment of small flag officers and chief flag officers respectively. This time, the sheep are also divided according to the level, and the security army soldiers can divide 1 male, 1 female and 2 lambs; The small flag officer can be divided into 2 females, 1 male and 3 lambs; The chief flag officer, 1 male, 1 female, 2 big sheep; 100 households can be divided into 2 females, 1 male and 3 sheep; Thousands of household officials can be divided into 3 females, 1 male and 4 sheep; Of course, only those who are married and have a family or whose parents farm in a thousand households can receive it, otherwise remember it first, and then make up for it according to the current level after becoming a family.

For the field army and cavalry, they enjoy one level higher than the security army according to their respective ranks.

All the talents who teach enjoy the treatment of the chief flag officer, and they receive it according to the treatment of the chief flag officer.

For those who are training, have not yet been transferred to the official security army, all are 1 male, 1 female and 2 lambs, if they pass the assessment on March 20 through the selection of the security army, these 2 sheep will be given to them, if they do not pass, next autumn will send 1 lamb of more than 60 catties to thousands of households.

For families that are not within the above range, you can also receive, but by next year you will have to return 2 times the sheep of the thousand households, 3 lambs are equal to 1 big sheep, and the standard of the big sheep is to weigh more than 60 catties, such as adopting 3 lambs, and next year you will return 6 lambs or 2 sheep of more than 60 catties to the thousand households. Now you can apply, go to the village chief's house to register, and the village chief will hand over the list and the amount he is willing to receive to the township, and the township will report to the thousand households after summarizing, and if the thousand households have no sheep, they will go to grab it again, and now Hao Zhan likes to do this.

For the bulls and calves, stallions and ponies that were snatched back, the strong bulls still had to be allocated to the cultivated land of the villages, and those that could be used as war horses were left to the troops themselves; What can't be left is also handed over to each village by adoption, or directly sold at a price slightly lower than the market price, now Feng Youcai doesn't need a bull or a stallion, the calves he bought from the system are all bulls, and when they grow up, they will be very good hybrid cattle or horses.

As for why he didn't directly distribute the lambs or calves and ponies purchased from the system to the villagers, the main reason was that Feng Youcai himself didn't know what it would look like after crossbreeding, so he didn't want to spread the new breed for the time being.

For Feng Youcai's method, everyone can increase the source of agricultural machinery and fertilizer, consume some straw of rural crops, which can be regarded as waste utilization, otherwise many of them will directly burn the fire for cooking, and it can also increase everyone's income. So everyone rarely admires Feng Youcai, which makes him gain the loyalty of many people, which can be regarded as a surprise, but the points increased by these loyalty have made Feng Youcai earn a lot of income, of course, this can't be told to everyone, so he can only steal the fun.

Because there are still too few people who are good at animal husbandry among the Han people, there are so many livestock in Feng Youcai's grazing area that need to be taken care of, but there are too few people who are good at breeding, which makes Feng Youcai very distressed, and when chatting with Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang said: "Young master, you are not short of people who are good at breeding, but you don't realize it." “

Feng Youcai didn't think about it anymore and didn't think of anyone who would breed cattle and horses, Zhang Yang saw that the young master was thinking so hard, so he said: "Young master, aren't those Han people rescued from the Mongolian tribe all good at breeding." “

Feng Youcai thought about it, if these people don't know how to breed, how can the Mongols raise idlers, even if they can't, they must learn as soon as possible, otherwise the Mongols will not feed them in vain. "Oops, I entered a misunderstanding, I just thought about how to train them to be warriors to take revenge, I didn't expect this, thank you."

"Young master, I don't think there will be many people who are willing to breed, they still want to take revenge with their own hands, they must be willing to be soldiers, besides, how good the treatment of being a soldier is."

"Then let's first send those who have not been able to pass the selection to graze and breed, ensure that they are provided with good food, and even provide them with a wife, so that they can settle down, if it doesn't work again, promise that people who do excellent work every year can go out with the field troops to attack the Mongolian tribes once, let him cut off a few more Mongolian heads, and provide them with a chance to take revenge, otherwise for those who are old and in poor physical condition, they will not want to take revenge for the rest of their lives."

Zhang Yang said: "These two methods are not bad, let's try them first." As long as they are given the hope of revenge, there will definitely be people who are willing to go. Besides, we are not abusing them, we are employing them, and they will not object too much, after all, we rescued them and provided such a good life, if they leave us, it is estimated that these people will even have a problem eating. “

The problem that gave Feng Youcai a headache was solved so easily under Zhang Yang's guidance, and the person relaxed a lot, humming a small tune and walking towards the backyard.

When they returned to the backyard, the two sisters greeted each other with smiles, and Feng Youcai was embarrassed, what kind of situation is this?

The eldest sister spoke: "Lord Qianhu, how many cattle and sheep have been divided into our family?" The second sister also looked at him eagerly, wanting to know the answer.

Ah, what do you think happened, "You can have as much as you want, you don't care about your brother-in-law's level." ”

"That's great, thank you, little brother."

"Oh, it's really the water spilled by the girl who got married, and I, the younger brother, are not even as good as cattle and sheep in your eyes."

The eldest sister hurriedly said: "That's not what we meant, it was my mother who asked." “

"Tell me, how much do you want? I still have a few thousand cows and tens of thousands of sheep north of the Great Wall of the North, and whoever wants to graze them, say, I will definitely agree. “

The second sister said: "Little brother, there are really so many, I originally wanted a cow and a few sheep, but I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, but I didn't expect you to be so much, tell me quickly, where did this come from, it won't fall from the sky." “

"You guys, don't think so much, enjoy yourself here, when your brother-in-law finishes training, I will arrange an official position for them, and then you follow him to take office, and you can be your official wife with peace of mind." Stay here for the time being, and don't think about these useless things later. “
