Chapter 165: The Cattle Farm and the Bandit Army Return

Chang Zhichang rubbed his sore knee, "It's not a taste in my heart, I was scolded by my heart for a while, and I have to accept it respectfully."

Yang Zhichang was even more startled and hurriedly retreated.

Walking out of the meeting hall, Yang Zhichang sighed, this Baoan Prefecture is Wang Dou's world, so let's find a way to transfer it away.

Looking at Yang Zhichang's back, Wang Dou was silent for a while, in the statistics of acres this time, Zhangjiabao and Wubao have the most problems, but the Zhangjiabao defender Shi Min can also be saved, he is all over the fort, but he hides more than 300 acres of land, and as soon as he scolds himself, he is so frightened that he says that in the background of Daming, he is only a small problem, only this Yang Zhichang's vice is too deep. Sooner or later, he will change him, Wubao is a good place, and he can't talk about him coming to occupy the bird's table.

Soon, in the matter of counting the acres of land, Xiao Wang gave a strict order, daring to have military generals who embezzle money and grain, hide the land property, and do not ask the military and civilian officials, and apply for strict punishment in one piece. In the next few days, the official hall strictly verified the documents, and many officers had been punished, and the whole state city was awe-inspiring.

In April, Lai Mancheng's 1,000 ploughing cattle finally arrived, attracting the entire city of soldiers and civilians to go out of the city to watch and see this dense ploughing cattle. The soldiers and civilians were amazed, but they didn't expect that the master of ethics would do what he said, and he would buy a thousand cattle in one go, and with these strong cattle, plus those irrigation wells and waterwheels, everyone would cultivate the fields. There is a guarantee. At this time, the last trace of worry in their hearts also disappeared, and everyone admired Wang Dou's methods.

Rejoicing inside and outside the state city, Zhizhou Li Zhenxuan also took his subordinates to see it secretly, and after returning home, he was amazed, but said again and again: "Where did Wang Dou get the silver?" ”

Lai Mancheng went out for a run, he lost some weight, originally he was oily and powdery, but at this time, Wang Dou saw that his face was quite windy and frosty. According to Lai Mancheng's own introduction, in order to gather these 1,000 ploughing cattle, he ran a lot. Place! finally fulfilled his mission and gathered the goods that Wang Dou wanted.

Wang Dou bought 1,000 ploughing cattle from Lai Mancheng. With the exception of thirteen oxen who died in accidents on the way, most of the rest were strong and intact. It's all good cows. Lai Mancheng also told Wang Dou that the dozen or so cows that died, he would be responsible for compensating for the losses, so that Wang Dou would look at him differently, this guy should not look at the image of a playboy, his character is not bad.

Wang Dou instructed Concubine Zhang, the official of Guantun, to temporarily settle these ploughing cattle outside the city, and he called Lai Mancheng back to the Ethics Mansion, he smiled and said: "Brother Lai is really a sincere person, nearly a thousand ploughing cattle have been transported to this official, I will give you a small letter of codex and let me personally lead Xie Yike to Shunxiang Fort, looking for Lin Daofu, the defender of Shunxiang Fort, and he will give you five thousand taels of silver for the price of the ox." In winter, it is also necessary to take the cattle outside, choose the leeward and sunny place, and let the cattle bask in the sun while feeding, so that the cattle will be strong

"In terms of breeding, I don't talk about hay stalks on weekdays. When ploughing cattle and servitude, bean bran cakes are even more indispensable, and drinking water is also particular. Drink water at least five times a day, and get water, preferably with an appropriate amount of salt. If the cattle drink water in winter, they need to be supplied with warm water, salt and minced beans."

He kept talking, and Wang Dou was dumbfounded when he heard it. Is this raising cattle or waiting for ancestors? He frowned: "Is there such a trouble?" ”

Lai Mancheng said with a smile: "So the little one said that the adults should be good at raising or indiscriminately, such as plowing cattle and being strong." That's what you need. The townsmen and foolish women are ignorant, and the ploughing cattle they feed are thin and weak, even if they are not fed properly, some of the people understand the truth. But they are powerless, and they need a lot of resources to raise cattle, and ordinary people can't afford to support them at all

Sandou groaned. Relying on the Mancheng realm is only to distribute the ploughing cattle to the military cafes, they may be suspected of taking care of them poorly, and it also increases their burden.

Lai Mancheng said: "Not only that, but adults have 1,000 or hundreds of ploughing cattle in their hands, which is equivalent to a big treasure." ”

"Imagine that nearly half of the 1,000 and hundreds of ploughing cattle are cows, and they give birth to calves, and adults add at least 500 cows a year. The ploughing ox does not need to be cultivated for most of the year, and can be mated once a year, and the calf grows into a strong cow for only five years. Over the years, the adults may have thousands of ploughing cattle in stock, and when the time comes, the small ones will have to ask the adults, but some ploughing cattle have been sold. ”

Speaking of this, Lai Mancheng grinned.

was reminded by Lai Mancheng that Wang Douji's Shunxiangbao farming cattle seemed to have given birth to some calves in the past two years, but he was busy with his affairs and forgot that cows would breed calves. He glanced at Lai Mancheng, this person is good, he will not encourage himself to buy cattle in order to make more money, he has a higher evaluation of Lai Mancheng.

At the same time, Wang Dou thought of the pigs, sheep, mules and horses in Shunxiang Fort, the pigs and sheep can be bred twice a year, the pigs can breed nearly ten each time, the sheep can breed six at a time, and he has more than 1,000 pigs and sheep, and the big pigs and sheep have eaten a lot, but it seems that they have also bred a lot of pigs and lambs in the past two years, and when they grow up, it is also a considerable number.

The explosion of rat thinness has a lot to do with environmental sanitation, taking Daming Jingshi as an example. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was relatively wealthy, the management of the ditch sanitation in the capital was more proper, it was called the cleanest and widest streets and alleys in Beijing, but from the late Wanli period, the Jingshi ditch was blocked, but there was no money to govern Taojun, and there was no money to repair the road, to the Chongzhen period, the street environment of Beijing City was even worse, it was dusty on a sunny day, muddy and difficult to walk on a rainy day, and the ditch next to the street became a place to hide dirt and dirt. The filth touches people.

In addition to the dust and mud, the streets are all over the place, and the Beijing division once stipulated that the cattle were not allowed to enter the city, and in the late Ming Dynasty, this regulation became empty talk. The lack of government management, reflected in the city's appearance, the late Ming Dynasty of the Beijing Division, can be said to be garbage everywhere, every summer will be the snake endlessly, the abuse of dysentery and dysentery is thin, so it led to Chongzhen 16 years of rat emaciation spread throughout the city, closed the door to die, but there is no coffin inspector, the sunrise of the nine doors reaches 10,000 coffins.

Environmental sanitation is dirty, which is an important root cause of thinness and thinness, so on the sixth day of the first month of May, on the day when Song Yingxing wrote "Start Works", Wang Dou united with Li Zhenban, Zhizhou, and mobilized the soldiers and civilians of the city to clean up, especially to kill all the rats. It also forcibly sheltered all the homeless beggars on the streets.

After a few days of cleaning, the whole city of Baozhou was cleaned, and all the nearly 100 truckloads of garbage swept out were transported to the outside of the city for burning and burying. Not only that, Wang Dou also took out money and food. Many deep wells were planned to be drilled in the state city, and a number of public bathhouses and public toilets were built.

Wang Dou Ji Ge, the public bathhouse charges very low. So that the soldiers and civilians in the city can afford to wash, especially in the name of Xie Xiuniang, several women's bathhouses in the state city should be established, and only female guests will be accepted. The northern part of the Ming Dynasty is inconvenient to use water, especially the drought and water shortage in various places. Bathing is naturally difficult, and with these bathhouses, while cleaning and hygiene, the epidemic of various diseases is reduced.

Although the construction of a women's bathhouse has been discussed by some people, it is still built quickly in the name of Wang Dou's strict order to prevent the epidemic.

A few days later, when Wang Dou was busy building a bathhouse in the state city, Han Chao, Han Zhong, and Sun Sanjie led the sergeants of General A, General B, and General Ding. The victorious bandits returned with a rich harvest. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the chapter for more, support it
