Chapter 125: Into the Circle
Happy New Year!
The figure thought it was careful, but didn't notice that someone was far behind him.
Zou Pozi died, and Jiang Long was somewhat relieved about the safety of the treasure bottle.
But he won't be careless in the future.
The Lin family may not have just installed a Zou Pozi in Jingfu.
And at present, it seems that the Lin family's idea of wanting to fight the Jing family's property should not be a day or two.
However, he has already arranged for Sang Spider to keep an eye on Zou Pozi and the guard who has betrayed, as long as there are suspicious people, they must keep an eye on it, and it won't take long to find out the Lin family's eyeliner in Ningyuan County and in Jingfu.
Wait until that time...... Jiang Long will not be unplugged immediately, but it can be utilized.
After all, he still has to find a way to rescue Lin Ya's own brother.
Moreover, the Lin family can fight the idea of Jingfu's property, so they can also follow suit.
Even if it is difficult to take all the property of the Lin family, it can help Lin Ya's younger brother to take the throne.
It is estimated that in a few days, the manuscript that Du Juan secretly copied should be sent to the Lin family.
Jiang Long stood by the pond, Zhizhu in his hand, his clothes fluttering under the breeze, and he chuckled lightly.
After a while, he asked the tenant farmers to blanch the chaff and bran in boiling water and sprinkle them directly into the pond.
Immediately, I saw the little fish swim to the surface of the water and began to scramble to eat.
There were bursts of spray, and some small fish even jumped directly from the water.
Although the bran and bran fish could be fed enough, the growth rate was not fast enough, so Jiang Long instructed the tenant farmers to summon the children of the family between six and ten years old, and let them go to the river to catch some shrimp and water snails, and throw them all into the fish pond.
Of course, Jiang Long also told the children to be careful not to fall into the river.
The children move very quickly, very efficiently, and work while playing, and now that the ice on the river has just been unsealed, there is a place for recycling on the bank of the river, and many small shrimp can be found when moving stones in the water or half in the water.
These can be used as fish food, which can make the fish grow faster.
In addition, Jiang Long asked Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang to go to the butcher in the town to buy bones and animal offal that no one wanted, and the bones and cleaned offal were boiled in boiling water for a long time, and then the bones were crushed into pellets, and the offal was chopped with a knife, and then mixed with the bran and bran and sprinkled into the fish pond.
The fish are scrambling more happily.
In the future, I will use these kinds of things to make fish food.
Things were going well on the side of the orchard and the pond, and he didn't have to stay here all the time to keep an eye on it, but went to look at the haode cattle, sheep and pigsty.
Several large fires were lit in each circle, and after baking overnight and during the day, the walls and floor of the circle were already dry.
Jiang Long was very satisfied.
In the blink of an eye, at night, Jiang Long was in a good mood, and inevitably told stories to several girls.
Originally, Lin Ya was somewhat depressed because of the death of a person in the house.
But when he heard that the gray wolf was beaten by the Pleasant Goat again, he also smiled.
In the closing remarks of the gray wolf, I will come back, Jiang Long also got up and returned to the small courtyard with the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle.
Du Juan learned the news of Zou Pozi's death in the afternoon, and then her face was a little wrong.
When I came back in the evening, when I looked at Lin Ya, my eyes were a little shrunken.
She was very suspicious that Mrs. Zou died in the hands of Lin Ya.
I didn't expect that Lin Ya, who was very weak before, always shrunk her hands and feet, and didn't have a famous lady, would have such a means after leaving the Lin Mansion.
Was she pretending to be?
Also, if she didn't pretend, where would she have survived until now?
And if you don't pretend to be a wild girl, and you don't have the temperament of a wealthy daughter, just with that pretty face that captivates the country and the city, it is estimated that the Lin family will also find a way to withdraw from the marriage, and then marry it to other imperial relatives who are still in power, so as to seek greater benefits for the Lin Mansion.
Thinking that Lin Ya had hidden so deeply before, Du Juan's heart was full of chills.
Where do you dare to put on a stand in front of Lin Ya and play a temper?
After returning to the small courtyard, he honestly retreated back to his cabin.
Du Juan's abnormality didn't care about others, but it didn't escape Fang Qing's eyes.
Fang Qing seriously thought about what big things had happened in the courtyard and the entire farm today, and finally thought of Mrs. Zou who died of illness.
I was shocked!
Although I still can't guess the inside story, it is obvious that there should be some secret between Du Juan and that Zou Pozi.
Sure enough, there is no clean inside the family.
Fang Qing didn't tell Lin Ya about her conjecture, nor did she report it to Jiang Long.
In her eyes, the situation is complicated at the moment, she only sees a half-edge, and she doesn't know how Lin Ya and Jiang Long are as people, and whether they are worthy of their loyal service.
Therefore, he watched coldly and chose to continue to forbear, and would not act rashly.
The next day, Jiang Long got up early to punch a few times, drank the tonics, and a layer of hot sweat oozed from his body.
Today is the day when the livestock enter the pen.
Tian Dazhuang and Li Steward started earlier, before dawn, they took a large number of tenant farmers to ride horses to drive sheep and pigs.
By the time Jiang Long arrived, there were already more than 100 sheep in the pen.
The pigs are all small piglets, up to the knees of adults, and they are pulled by ox carts, and the piglets are loaded into bamboo baskets and carried back, and the cattle and sheep can drive away, but the pigs are not so obedient, and at this time there are more than 200 piglets driven into the pen.
Jiang Long walked into the circle, and from time to time there was the sound of cows and sheep barking and piglets humming.
Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang had already hired people and were preparing the livestock to eat, but they didn't dare to starve the pigs and sheep.
The food is bran and bran, plus some hay chopped with a guillotine, scalded with boiling water, stirred, and then fed directly into the trough.
The trough is made by hollowing out the wood, and the carpenter is specially hired to make it.
Jiang Long originally wanted to ask a blacksmith to make it out of iron sheets, but was stopped by Tian Dazhuang, saying that it was expensive to beat it with iron sheets;
Second, it is not as durable as a wooden trough.
Speaking of wooden troughs, be careful, they can last a lifetime.
The iron ones will definitely rust, and they will have to be replaced with new ones in a few years.
After a while, several tenant farmers prepared the food and put it into the trough one by one.
The little pig squeezed forward happily and grabbed food.
The sheep are the same, all of them are very energetic, and some even have a bad temper, and they also pick up the top shelf in order to compete for food, which can be seen to be very healthy.
It is very wise to let Tian Dazhuang be responsible for the purchase.
It wasn't until the morning that Tian Dazhuang and Steward Li finally cleared the balance of the cattle, sheep, and pigs.
Jiang Long asked, counting the cattle that had rushed back and were plowing the farm, there were a total of thirty-two big cows and forty-five calves.
Five male rams were bought, five hundred and fifty adult ewes, a hundred male lambs, and one hundred and eighty females.
The pigs are all small piglets that have just been weaned for a long time, and the male and female are all combined, a total of 1,000.
Seeing that many pens were occupied by livestock, Jiang Long was very happy in his heart.
After a year, you'll be able to see the benefits.
The cattle are not intended to be sold, Jiang Long plans to raise them all, help plough the land and sow seeds in the spring, and put it on the car in the autumn to be responsible for carrying the grain to the field.
In my spare time, I can pull up the car and go to a town or county to earn a fare.
In short, although the cow eats more, as long as it is used to the best of its ability, it will not lose money, but can make a few small profits.
Of course, this is not a place to cultivate and use for your own home, otherwise you can make a lot of money just by pulling it out in the spring to help others plow the land.
Raising ewes is to give birth to lambs, lambs by Tian Dazhuang is responsible for castration, so that it is easy to fatten and the meat is tender, and the ewe lambs continue to raise and regenerate lambs.
Pigs are simple, and they can be slaughtered and sold directly for meat after a year.
However, because of the large number, it is necessary to contact the buyer before slaughtering.
This is not a difficult matter, the quantity is large, and the price can naturally be appropriately reduced, or it can be directly pulled out and sold by yourself.
It is sold a little cheaper than the market, and the people who celebrate the New Year have a high demand, and it is easy to sell it.
After all the livestock were pulled back, Jiang Long began to prepare the feed by himself, of course, he did not prepare it very accurately, but it was still more effective for livestock fat gain, but the proportion of feed was a little different from that in the previous life.
The formula of the feed includes bran, sorghum, soybean meal, oil residue left over from rapeseed in the oil mill, bone meal, and a small amount of salt.
When the feed is made, it is taught to the tenant farmers who are responsible for feeding the livestock, and when they learn to match, Jiang Long will no longer have to worry about it.
In the past few days, Tian Dazhuang and Steward Li have been running around, very tired, especially Steward Li, after all, he is old, and it seems that the whole person has lost a lot of weight.
However, after the two went to the other courtyard to report the accounts to Lin Ya, they went out to look for the fish fry seller.
Things are busy on the farm's side, but under Jiang Long's arrangement, they are well organized.
The result of the printing house was beyond his expectations, but in just two or three days, Chai Shirong came to the door.
Originally, Jiang Long thought that even if someone was looking for ballast and deliberately making things difficult, and wanted to seize the management of the printing house, Chai Shirong would be able to withstand it for at least six or seven days, and by that time, the farm should have almost finished sowing seeds.
Jiang Long can just put all his mind on the printing house.
But Jihua is clearly not changing as fast.
Chai Shirong looked anxious, and after finding Jiang Long, he vomited bitterness.
Jiang Long listened to it, and there was a burst of helplessness.
Chai Shirong still doesn't have the confidence and confidence, otherwise he wouldn't be bullied like this.
But it's okay, someone made it difficult to find a ballast, and he was arrogant enough to slap the other party's face to help Chai Shirong establish his prestige.
It was already evening, and Jiang Long asked Chai Shirong to stay at the farm for one night.
But Chai Shirong was very anxious, and insisted on pulling Jiang Long to rush to the capital now.
"Brother Xian is comfortable, hide in the farm and enjoy it." Chai Shirong also complained dissatisfied.
After listening to Chai Shirong's previous story, Jiang Long already had an understanding and judgment of the current general situation of the printing house, and he didn't think it was a difficult matter.
So I don't want to gallop to the capital now on horseback and suffer that sin.
His riding skills are not good, and if he rides too slowly, he may arrive at the city gate when he arrives in the capital, and the city gate is already closed.
At night, it was impossible for the defenders of the capital to open the city gate for the two of them.
And if he rides too fast, the sky will be dark again, and Jiang Long does not guarantee that he will not fall off the horse with his riding skills.
"Brother Chai doesn't have to be so anxious, you can relax, tomorrow the younger brother will enter Beijing with you, and I promise that all those who take the initiative to come to the door to make trouble will be settled!"
Jiang Long said very confidently.
