On both sides of the road are long wooden fences, which seem to be miles long and seem to have no end in sight. At intervals there were several planks attached to the fence. Large pieces of paper with pigs, sheep, dogs, and other animals were pasted on the wooden board, and in addition to Chinese characters, the corresponding Chinese characters and Latin pinyin were written on the paper.

Early in the morning, a dozen border collies gathered outside the gate of the large warehouse at the end of the road. Some are black and white, some are brownish-white, and some dogs are probably the type that has no ink when they are born, with pink noses and sparse white hair. As soon as the door of the warehouse opened, a few border herders rushed into the warehouse, roaring loudly, and driving the sheep inside. The sheep had been resting all night in the storehouse-like sheepfold, when they were alarmed, and the sheep took the lead and began to run outside the sheepfold. After a while, the tide of sheep began to run along the road.

Hao Ren rode on his horse, watching those beautiful and handsome border collies have a reasonable division of labor, some are behind them, some are running on both sides of the flock, and they will drive the sheep that ran out of the team back to the team. The sheep ran all the way and soon covered several miles. A gate on a fence was opened, and several border herders were already waiting at the door. Seeing the sheep coming, the border shepherds roared and drove the sheep into the gate.

That is, in ten minutes, hundreds of sheep were driven into the pasture by four or five people and a dozen border herders. The silly flock of sheep stopped on the thick grass and began to nibble leisurely on the grass.

At this time, the warehouse was empty, and the workers of the ranch opened the closed windows to ventilate it, so that the bad smell inside could dissipate as soon as possible. Workers with masks went in to work, some collected sheep manure, some sorted out the straw, some carried the sink out and poured it out, and then cleaned the sink.

Hao Ren had already dismounted at this time, and after visiting the house-shaped sheepfold where the sheep rested at night, under the guidance of the staff, he went to the side to take care of the sheepfold of the mid-labor ewes and the newborn lambs. It's a lot warmer here, and the lambs are fluffy, and they follow their mothers closely, stretching their necks to feed, which is very cute.

In addition to sheep, there are cattle and horses in the pasture. These animals do not need to be driven by border herding. On the fenced pasture, the cattle ate the grass slowly, and they were fat and strong.

After visiting here, Hao Ren got on his horse and moved forward. After walking for a while, I saw a huge horse dragging a wagon to transport fodder in the pasture. After walking for a long time, we arrived at a pig farm near the main road outside. The pigs here adopt the model of the Great Song Dynasty, and all of them are raised in pens. After the castrated piglets grow to a certain size, they are sent to the pen that is so narrow that it is impossible to turn around, and the door of the wooden pen is closed. In a few months, the door of the wooden pen will open again, and that will be when the pigs are sent to the slaughterhouse. Or when the plague pig is disposed of.

There are more than 100 households and more than 500 people in this ranch, raising more than 3,000 sheep, more than 600 beef cattle, more than 300 dairy cows, and 400 cultivated cattle. Eight hundred and twenty horses, more than four thousand pigs. Hao Ren asked how the herdsmen's cultural literacy classes were being conducted and how the Chinese language was popularized. The person in charge and the members of the farm farmers' association hurriedly said that the teacher had arrived and the farm was very serious about receiving education.

Hao Ren went to meet the teacher again and asked about the cultural education of the farm. As the ruler of the Yuan Kingdom, Hao Ren did not consider retaining the Mongolian language and various local dialects at all. If you want to speak Mongolian or any other local dialect, you can do so at home. In all public and labor places in the Yuan Kingdom, only Chinese was allowed. is also the army of the Yuan State, but it has to communicate in Chinese, Mongolian, the vernacular of the Marzha people and other languages, Hao Ren has had enough.

After listening to Hao Ren's question, the teacher hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, the Mongolian herdsmen have learned a lot of words, and they have not yet learned to think in Chinese. As the king gave in the course, they haven't learned to express their thoughts in Chinese. ”

After hearing this, Hao Ren nodded again and again, and he said to the teacher: "Hard work, work hard." ”

There are more than 100 households on the farm, and more than 50 of them are poor people who have come to the Yuan Kingdom in the past year or two. After visiting such a large circle in the ranch, it is completely impossible to see who is poor and who is rich. Everyone is in the same work clothes, and their complexions look good, and there is no appearance of yellow muscles and thin muscles. This situation makes Hao Ren very satisfied.

Recently, 30,000 or 40,000 immigrants have arrived in the Yuan country every month, and if the current pace of immigration can be arranged to join production, Hao Ren expects to increase the number of immigrants per month to 100,000 in a few months. With the population, there are enough troops. It was extremely difficult for the Yuan State, with a population of 2 million, to maintain a standing army of 180,000 people, but it was much easier for the Yuan State with a population of 6 million to maintain a standing army of 180,000.

Coming out of the person in charge of the farm, Hao Ren saw many herdsmen gathered outside to see the excitement. The guards were nervous, and so many strangers put a lot of pressure on them, but Hao Ren didn't care. Because the ranch is near Kiev.

Passing through the territory of different tribes on the grassland is like passing through the ghost gate. It is not uncommon to be harassed, robbed, taken captive, and lose your life. However, there was such a magnificent city as Hangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and the population of the city was about two million, which was about the same as the population of the entire Yuan Kingdom now, but it was extremely safe. Because the population of Hangzhou is included in the country's large-scale production system. Now these farms and ranches are the same, they do not belong to a certain tribe, nor do they belong to a certain gang, according to the Great Song Dynasty, they are a working unit under the entire Yuan system. Some of the horsemen dared to break the law, but the chances of the entire unit rebelling were low. If such a unit is organized to rebel, and the Yuan State has not yet discovered it, the Yuan State will be destroyed.

Raising his hand to greet the staff of the ranch, Hao Ren looked very close to the people. When the herdsmen saw this, they gathered around and wanted to get closer to Hao Ren. At this time, someone shouted a few times, and the young man got out of the way. I saw an old man walking in front of Hao Ren separately, and he knelt on one knee according to Mongolian etiquette, and then sang a passage according to Mongolian tradition.

The gist of it is: Prince Hao Ren has been favored by the Immortal Heaven since he was a child, so he has obtained the ability of the Immortal Heaven. He can see the stars during the day and the sun at night. No kind of wind and rain can stop his pace, all the way to thousands of miles away. In the past, on the grassland, everyone could only eat grass. When I arrived in the land of Lord Haoren, I had eaten more meat in two years than I had in a lifetime. Genghis Khan once unified Mongolia, and Prince Haoren let the poor man see the way. The Mongols must follow Lord Haoren and never go hungry again.

After listening to this little song, the surrounding Mongolians cheered, and Hao Ren was very moved by that sincerity. Although the Mongols are often bears and bears, at least they know what to do. As the old man sang, Genghis Khan showed them a way, but Hao Ren gave the poor a way out of hunger.

For many years, Hao Ren rarely spoke Mongolian. At this time, he couldn't help but say to these herdsmen in Mongolian: "Fathers, brothers, sisters, the rule of the Yuan Kingdom is that those who work should have food. Do you think that's right? ”

The middle-aged and elderly people did not dare to speak, but the young people shouted: "Yes! "The king is right."

"In that case, everyone should work hard and make everyone richer and richer. In addition, everyone must follow the teacher to read and read well, and must read and read well. If you don't read enough books, you're not productive. Hao Ren continued. It can be seen that the words of making a fortune in the first half have been approved by everyone. Some people couldn't help but cheer along. It was the first half of the emotion that the herdsmen did not react to the second half of reading and reading. This made Hao Ren feel very regretful.

After visiting the ranch, Hao Ren went to the farm next to the ranch. Before the harvest of the wheat in May was reached, the wheat was still green, and the wheat had not yet turned yellow. On the farm, the sickle has already been sharpened, and the work is ready to dry the wheat. In addition, the seeds of winter storage vegetables such as Chinese cabbage are also being prepared. Carrots can be eaten by people and are also very suitable for feeding livestock, and they are also a key variety planted after the wheat harvest. Naturally, preparation is also required. Even more precious are the potatoes imported from the Great Song Dynasty.

In the current Yuan Kingdom, what the Great Song Dynasty has, the Yuan Kingdom will learn from it. This is especially true in agriculture. Potatoes were not yet fully popularized in the Great Song Dynasty, but began to be popularized on a large scale in the Yuan Kingdom. The peasants of the Yuan Kingdom thought this thing was very good. Also used as a crop for the second season. Potatoes For potatoes to sprout, they need to be nurtured beforehand. Therefore, most of the Han Chinese farmers actually received training, and after the training was completed, they made various preparations for cultivation under the guidance of agricultural technicians from the government.

These are all completely copied from the Great Song Farm, just as the ranch is also copying the Great Song Ranch. Even the news of the border collie dog, which is not far from the Yuan Kingdom, was learned from the Great Song Dynasty, and then he went to the British Isles to buy the breeding dog.

Seeing that these reports were all carried out, such as those reports from the Great Song Dynasty, Hao Ren felt very relieved. In a few days, the wheat was ripe. The entire Yuan country's population of 2.3 million had to harvest 30 million mu of grain on the black soil. Then hurry up and plant the second season. In October of the Western calendar, the second season is harvested. Two million and 300,000 people were to sort and store grain, make green fodder, and slaughter livestock. When the snow began to fall in December of the Western calendar, in addition to the workers, the army, and the students, the farmers and herdsmen of the Yuan Kingdom began to enter a comfortable winter. Until the spring of the following year.

With a satisfied mood after the inspection, Hao Ren returned to the royal palace in Kiev. Shang Shu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurried to tell Hao Ren about the Grand Duke of Warsaw's request for an alliance with the Yuan State. Hao Ren was stunned, his first feeling was that the Grand Duke of Warsaw was playing some tricks, and the Grand Duke of Warsaw and the Yuan Kingdom had been in a state of complete hostility before. Soon, Hao Ren felt that this was unlikely to be a trap, it was a trap, and it was also a trap for the Grand Duke of Warsaw to be unable to stand the pressure of the Teutonic Knights and wanted to let the Yuan Kingdom and the Teutonic Knights end up together.

"Let the messenger of the Grand Duke of Warsaw come to me." Hao Ren made a decision.
