Chapter 37 Zhuangzi transforms the breeding base
Early in the morning, he met with his eldest brother-in-law and explained the problem of the stable and the rabbit cage, and Du Jun drove the carriage to the small Zhuangzi he bought yesterday.
This Zhuangzi is on the side of the official road into the city, and the courtyard is 200 meters away from the official road.
Du Jun parked the carriage at the courtyard gate, and then took out chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep and two beef cattle from the space, which was slightly more than the amount of goods asked for by the shopkeeper Tong.
knocked on the door and called Uncle Tong and his family. As soon as he saw the group of living creatures at the door, he hurriedly sent them to a suitable place, and for Du Jun, he used a leather whip to drive away the two beef cattle that were obviously half a head taller than a cow, and there was no cow nose ring!
Back in the main house of the courtyard, Du Jun had the opportunity to observe Uncle Tong's family. There are five people, not much, a husband and wife, two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is eighteen years old and an apprentice carpenter, the second son is fifteen, and the youngest daughter is nine years old.
Du Jun first introduced the purpose of this small Zhuangzi, which is to provide meat for Wangjiang Pavilion in Anxian County, and gradually expand, with the aim of supplying meat to this county seat of Anxian County.
Then ask Uncle Tong about the basic situation of the Zhuangzi, the fertility of the 50 acres of land, the yield and income in the past three years, the economic situation of the surrounding farmers, whether there are any thieves, the price of ordinary workers, the price of long-term and short-term workers, the wages of the steward, the food expenses, etc.
From Uncle Tong's description, a Zhuangzi basically has an outline.
Fifty acres of land surround this small courtyard, and there are five wells, evenly distributed.
Theft is basically none, it used to be a vegetable field, now it feeds animals, and the situation may be different.
There are not many farmhouses around, most of the casual workers go to the county to hire, 300 to 500 wen a month, the price of long-term workers is between 500 and 800 wen, the steward is one or two a month, and the food fee is 300 wen a month.
After listening to this, Du Jun told Uncle Tong about her concept, with the small courtyard as the center, to establish four breeding sites, chickens, rabbits, sheep and cattle, and the rest of the periphery to plant forage.
All living animals are not free-range, and chicken farms are built respectively, which are divided into four categories: chickens, chicks, laying hens, and finished products; Rabbits build rabbit houses, divided rabbits, finished products, and female rabbits are three categories; The sheep build a sheepfold, and divide the ewes, rams, and young sheep; Cattle build a cowshed, because the number is small, temporarily do not separate.
Each breeding site has its own greenhouse, equipped with long-term workers, divided into day and night work, and increase the patrol of more personnel.
Two houses are being built next to the small courtyard, one for residents and one for storage.
The salary is temporarily in charge of two taels in the early stage, four taels in the later stage, 800 wen for long work, 500 wen for more work, the fourth aunt of the housekeeper Tong is responsible for cooking, one tael a month, the eldest son of the Tong family is responsible for carpentry, one tael a month, and the second son keeps accounts, 500 wen a month, but it has to be summarized once a month.
Finally, the oxcart in the Zhuangzi, the early forage, feed, the restoration of the pasture, the recruitment of personnel, etc., Du Jun specially emphasized to Uncle Tong that it is best to find a veterinarian in case of emergency.
In this era, there are few doctors, and there are even fewer veterinarians, so I have to inquire about this in advance.
The more prepared you are, the easier it will be in the later stage.
At noon in the small courtyard, after tasting Aunt Tong's craftsmanship, Du Jun added the staff of the cook, which made Uncle Tong's face flushed.
In the afternoon, the discussion continued, Du Jun went out in the general direction, and Uncle Tong added that he wrote a thick pile of paper in detail.
After three days of continuous work, this plan was preliminarily finalized, which is only a preliminary preparation, and the follow-up will be improved in real operation. Du Jun rubbed his brows, this industrial work is really not something that can be done by one person, thinking about the past and modern times, there were still quite complaints about the staff in the office, but now I can only admire. The following work is that Uncle Tong began to find someone to prepare materials and build a house greenhouse, Du Jun no longer cares, and gave two hundred taels of silver to use first.
According to Du Jun's design plan, the whole project will not come in five hundred taels. This is still in the case that the vast majority of living creatures can be provided by Du Jun in the early stage.
After three days of contact, Uncle Tong completely convinced Du Jun, the new owner seems to be young, but her various ideas seem to be wild, but in fact, step by step, the connection is quite perfect, I don't know how I came up with it, and I am more determined to follow this young woman to do things.
And Du Jun's evaluation of this family is also quite good, Uncle Tong Si speaks a little gen, but he is careful, and he often says a word in the process of designing this farm.
The eldest son of the fourth uncle has been a carpenter for a short time, but he is more active and knows many people, so he can help find some peers to help. Such a person is also more suitable for external sales, and I can't see that the fourth uncle can teach such a son.
There are also troublesome things, the arithmetic level of the second son of the Tong family is good in terms of bad, to be precise, it should be very bad. Looking at the account book written like a book of heaven, Du Jun really had a headache, this era focuses on scientific research, and there is relatively little research on science, and Du Jun has no particularly good way for the time being, unless he cultivates himself.
Thinking of this, Du Jun cast his eyes on Zhao Shulin, who was teaching at home, did he teach him Arabic numerals? With my uncle's mathematical talent, it is not a piece of cake to train a few financial personnel.
The four farms are also being built in different sequences, with chicken farms being the earliest, and then crossing others, and the entire construction period is expected to be completed until March next year. The construction of the grassland will be renovated as a whole in February, and suitable pasture grass will also be found, and Du Jun is also ready to take out the grass in the space to see if this place can be planted.
Anyway, Zhuangzi began to toss according to Du Jun at the level of half-hangers, many things are new, and there will be different troubles in operation, but innovation is king, when Du Jun left, he turned his head to look at the Zhuangzi that was a little vague in the sunset, a Zhuangzi that was bought to avoid trouble, and now it has become the first farm in this era, and I can't help but be a little confused, this previous idea is too different!
A change of inconsistency and error began Du Jun's business path in this era.
The aunt stayed in the Zhao family's old house for three days and then went back, during which the stable, after the cooperation of the eldest aunt and the Ding family, was also done.
The rabbit cage is relatively slow, and it takes shape after more than a dozen scraps. After the formation, Du Jun directly placed an order for his eldest uncle, which was made in batches, and the rabbit cage had a small single income, and 200 could make the eldest aunt have a good year.
By the time Aunt Liu got the rabbit cage, the little rabbit had been around for almost a month. The fluffy little thing, just weaned.
The first batch of four female rabbits gave birth to twenty-six rabbits, and the amount of food in the early stage was not large, and the female rabbits were fed with vegetables stored in the autumn, and a new round of breeding pregnancy began.
A month passed quietly in the midst of hustle and bustle.
