385 epoch-making inventions
Each settlement leaves a corresponding number of settlers, and then distributes the means of production to them according to the number of settlers.
For example, axes, sickles, hoes, and other production tools.
Let your subordinates set up heels around the ranch, as if they have set up chess on a chessboard, so that they can better control the ranch.
If you can, the road between Qianshan City and Qixingzhai will also be renovated, so that the two cities can echo each other from afar.
To be able to keep the flow of information, these are the building materials that are needed.
Coming out of the scrap iron recycling station, Yang Yinuan went to Boss Geng's house again.
Another order was placed for Boss Geng, including 10,000 shovels, 10,000 hoes, sickles, axes and other commonly used tools.
With the increase in the population of Qianshan City, there was a large influx of various laborers.
The demand for various labor tools is also increasing day by day.
Although he brought a second-hand forging machine to Qianshan City last time, he wanted to use these forging machines to produce so many farm tools.
That's not something that can be done in a day or two, so in order to reduce the production pressure on the side of Thousand Mountain City.
A lot of small things can be purchased directly here.
After purchasing these, Yang Yinuan left the outskirts of the city satisfied.
Of course, there is another reason for being in such a hurry to go back, that is, the two wire drawing machines he ordered before were delivered.
These two wire drawing machines are one of the key equipment that Yang Yinuan asked by Grand to purchase before his return this time.
And the reason why they want to purchase this thing is purely to improve the productivity of their Thousand Mountains Ranch in the future.
You must know that behind their Thousand Mountain City, there is a small plain with an area of more than 16,000 square kilometers.
This area is comparable to the area under the jurisdiction of the current Kyoshi, and it is even the size of nearly three Sakura Castles.
Moreover, most of this area is a grassland with flat land, and the water and grass here are dense.
Moreover, these otherworldly grasses can grow to the height of one person at every turn.
If you sprinkle the cattle and sheep inside, it will really disappear in a blink of an eye.
So how do you raise these cattle and sheep? Do you adopt a nomadic way every day, driving cattle and sheep to live in water and grass?
This is naturally not Yang Yinuan and Grande's idea, this method is too clumsy and too inefficient.
In addition, according to the current level of technological development of Falken Star, even if they want to use high-tech methods to raise cattle and sheep, it is not realistic.
Then there are a few other ways to do it.
For example, the semi-fixed stocking mode is to divide the land into shards, partitions, and isolate, and then adopt the mode of crop rotation to stock.
For example, a pasture is fenced with barbed wire so that cattle and sheep can live in it.
After the cattle and sheep have eaten almost the pasture in this area, they rush to another divided pasture.
In this way, the pasture can get the opportunity to rotate and recuperate, and at the same time, there is no need to drive cattle and sheep around the mountains every day.
The nomadic model used to be very inefficient.
Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are herded at a time, which seems to be very spectacular.
But the loss is also quite large.
There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and you have to have dozens of people to take care of them.
Because during the stocking process, you have to pay attention to prevent cattle and sheep from getting lost or being attacked by various wild animals.
In the process of constantly looking for forage to eat, cattle and sheep will continue to swim, which will also consume a certain amount of energy.
This will greatly reduce the rate at which cattle and sheep gain weight.
If a certain number of cattle and sheep are herded in a limited pasture, the pasture is rotated regularly.
In this way, the energy of the stocker can be greatly saved, a large amount of stocking work can be reduced, and the labor force can be effectively liberated from the stocking process.
And at the same time as stocking, you can also do some other work.
In this way, it has entered a semi-industrial breeding model, in fact, this model is still used in some countries on the blue star.
For example, the two brothers in the southern hemisphere, many family farms, adopt this stocking model.
The output is quite good, freeing people from the heavy work of stocking.
However, in order to complete this stocking mode, you still need some corresponding aids.
For example, this barbed wire fence is one of the indispensable tools!
This thing, on the Blue Star, can be said to be an epoch-making invention.
In fact, many people ignore this inconspicuous tool, and when it comes to barbed wire, many people may think of prisons, borders, etc.
In fact, it was first invented for animal husbandry.
In his early years, a cowherd in the Stars and Stripes was very lazy, and as a result, his free-range cattle would secretly go to the farm next door to steal crops.
Then the farmer came to their family to complain, and the owner of the cow herding baby was angry and wanted to fire him several times.
Then he figured out how to be lazy and not let the cows run away.
Then he found that cattle and sheep were almost as close as they were to the thorny rose-type crops.
So the idea of screwing thistles on the wire was born.
Soon the barbed wire was made, which effectively prevented cattle and sheep from running around, and greatly improved the efficiency of stocking.
The most important thing is that the emergence of this kind of barbed wire has also effectively improved people's recognition of property rights.
This thing can also play a vital role in the confirmation of land property rights in the wilderness.
Because with this thing, it's much better than if you were to draw the ground.
Before the advent of this thing, if people wanted to divide their territory, the most effective way was to build wooden fences.
Think about how much labor and how many trees it would take to build a wooden fence around the perimeter of hundreds of acres of land?
But with this thing, you only need a few stakes to get the job done.
Therefore, after the birth of this thing, it also played a vital role in the later development of the western region of the Stars and Stripes, especially in the process of horse racing.
And this thing has another derivative effect, that is, it also has this super defense.
When World War I broke out on the Blue Star, many countries brought barbed wire to the battlefield.
It can be said that the appearance of barbed wire and trenches completely changed the way traditional warfare was conducted.
This situation did not change until a large number of tanks were introduced.
But on Falken, they don't have to worry about tanks.
In the future, Yang Yinuan and his family will inevitably go to other places for business activities, and the horse-drawn convoy walks in the wilderness and camps at night.
It is inevitable that you will encounter some robbers and thieves.
In the previous two wars, Yang Yinuan also saw the fierceness of those strongman tribes and the Vietnamese Huns.
