Chapter 19 Nature is the Beginning of Miracles
What do pigs eat? What do sheep eat?
From the perspective that he has inspected more than a dozen large pig and sheep farms.
Scientific pig raising methods, floor heating, water trough, automatic cleaning of pig manure beds, separate waterways to bathe pigs, maintain three meals a day of concentrate feed, green feed, roughage, three months of slaughter.
Sheep farming is much the same.
"Aung Aung ......"
Zhu Di, who was still asleep, was woken up by bursts of chirping pigs.
The sound insulation of the earthen house is not very good.
At the back of his yard there was a pigsty, and early in the morning the pig began to bark restlessly, sometimes grinding the wall with his body.
Putting on a thick mattress, Zhu Di ran over to see.
A farmer surnamed Wang is pouring food for pigs.
This is a pig farmer designated by the county government of Lanxian County, and the advantage is that at the end of the year, you can share a piece of meat, and the money is consistent.
The condition is that the pig's food for a year is responsible for the farmer surnamed Wang, and if the pig dies, the farmer surnamed Wang will be assigned to the nearest household as a labor force for one year.
There are 120 such farming households in Lan County, and this is still a sweet and sweet occupation.
As for the pigs' food.
When grinding noodles with a stone grinding plate, there will be dregs, that is, wheat husks and bean husks, which can be called concentrate feed, which is provided by the county government on a monthly basis, and there are special personnel to supervise it, because this thing can be eaten.
A handful of three dollars per meal.
The main feed is the gray canopy grass seed, which is a wild grass that can be seen everywhere, this grass is one or two feet high, hemispherical, and has a diameter of two feet to four feet.
"The difficulty of pig breeding is mainly in winter and spring, and it cannot be stocked, and in summer and autumn, weeds are pulled back and fed."
Wang replied humbly, "The winter is too cold, the pig circle should burn some straw properly, and it can't freeze to death in these last few years, then the villain will be too guilty." ”
Yes, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it is estimated that in the past four or five days, the county government will come back to check and kill the pigs in a unified manner.
It can be seen that when it comes to this time, Wang's face is always a little happy.
Lao Zhu is still okay, there is no strict taboo on raising pigs, but the 'pig' has been changed to 'pig', and private breeding is not allowed.
Pork is certainly not for the county government to eat, and being able to reward a pork at the end of the year is already the greatest mercy to farmers.
The pork will be transported back to the Shaanxi Provincial Government, pickled, and then distributed to various health centers.
"Oh, negotiate ......"
There was a rumbling voice that didn't understand what it meant, and Zhu Di looked for prestige, and the white-flowered goats poured out from the end of a lane.
The cold winter does not stop the enthusiasm of the sheep herders, and probably only enthusiasm can make these people repeat this boring and tedious toil day after day.
Even the rats outside didn't want to climb out of the hole, and the ground was full of loess and stones.
But I still have to herd sheep.
Everything is silent, and above the barren mountains, there grows a kind of grass that is several inches high, half alive and half dead, and very hardy, which is the only food that can fill the stomach of goats in winter.
Every day when they leave at dawn and return after dark, these shepherds in the mountains travel forty or fifty miles a day, just like this.
It's hard to get through.
Zhu Di, who has been here for two days, doesn't want to stay anymore.
This is not a human life.
Other than that, there are very few on the streets.
Northwest sheep usually come from the Tan sheep of Tibet, and needless to say, the survival ability is very high.
But in the northwest, there is another sheep that is native to the sheep.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Zhenyuan's avant-garde deputy Qianhu Zhang Guang invited His Highness to eat stone mutton."
As he was talking, Guo Ying quickly rushed from the front yard to report.
"Going to eat mutton early in the morning?" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help muttering.
The city of Lanxian is on the north side of the Yellow River, and the town is far away from the avant-garde is the close neighbor of Lan County, which is the real close leader of his Blue City Mansion in the future.
But I just ate dead mutton yesterday, so I won't eat dead mutton again today.
"Let's go!" Zhu Di happened to be hungry too, so he agreed.
When I went back and prepared to get dressed, I saw more than a dozen soldiers at the door of the mansion holding war horses waiting quietly, and when I saw Zhu Di, the first person took the lead in kneeling down on one knee to meet: "Zhang Guang, the deputy of the Zhenyuan avant-garde, greets the king of the blue city." ”
Then everyone followed, "Meet the King of the Blue City." ”
"General Zhang, please get up quickly, King Rong Ben changed his clothes, and went to the town's remote household." Zhu Di stepped forward to help him.
"Xie Lancheng King." Zhang Guang took advantage of the trend.
Zhu Di did not delay, went into the house to change clothes, and wanted to take Ah Qiu and Ah Dong together, but the latter cruelly refused.
After the first cold night last night, the two of them sharpened their knives and prepared to do a big job.
Zhu Di asked Guo Ying to lead twelve guards, and then followed Zhang Guang to Zhenyuan to the front guard.
The Zhenyuan avant-garde was ten miles away in the northwest of Lan County, and they rushed over quickly, but as soon as the group walked out of the city, in the cold wind on the wilderness, there were hundreds of cavalry in the Zhenyuan avant-garde rolling.
He was rushing towards a mountain river that was not too high.
"What's that?"
Zhu Di pointed to a hill in the middle of the mountain from a distance, which seemed to be a flock of sheep, but he couldn't see it clearly.
"Back to Your Highness, that is a wild stone sheep, and the mutton we eat today is stone mutton." Zhang Guang introduced: "Wild stone sheep live in the mountains, and there are many in the mountains, but not many run out. ”
"This morning, I unexpectedly saw a wild stone sheep wandering on the Lan Mountain, so Qianhu led people to hunt it, and His Highness only needs to wait for a while to be able to eat mutton."
"Wild stone sheep!" Zhu Di was suddenly surprised, and ordered: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
Wild stone sheep, the holy product of all breeds of sheep, is like the sweat and blood of horses.
This thing is about to become a first-class protected animal under the shotgun in later generations, and it is the best of the mutton.
In the last life, for a high-level banquet and inspection group, several people with guns were dispatched to hunt stone sheep in the deep mountains, and this mutton could not be bought with money.
"Your Highness, this stone sheep can not be compared to domesticated goats, adult stone sheep are not inferior to war horses at all, even more ferocious than war horses, active aggression is extremely high, and likes to live in groups, no less than a cavalry brigade, people have sentry, some fight, and there are lambs, and even spy on intelligence."
Zhang Guang dissuaded, Zhu Di had already galloped out, Guo Ying followed, and a group of people chased after Lanshan.
Stone sheep are herbivores and do not eat meat.
But if a person is alone in the wild, it must be remembered that if you encounter a stone sheep, you must run to the nearest village.
Stone sheep will attack people, and they will attack in flocks.
In this wilderness, the only people who can fight with the stone sheep are the wolves.
Mixed wins and losses.
The stone sheep does not have the strong biting force of the Northwest wolf, but the Northwest wolf does not have the impact of the stone sheep like a bison.
In particular, the head of the stone sheep has the ability to burst out at close range, which can be compared to that of a bison.
Captive sheep meat is fat and greasy, free-range goat meat tendon meat taste very good, stone mutton is even worse, that is like seven-cooked beef, the pride of mutton, eat strong muscles and bones, healthy skin, chewy and strong, excellent taste.
"Drive!"
Zhu Di stared at the cold wind and walked forward, although his riding skills could not be like the cavalry that had been killed for a long time, walking on the ground and turning his head on horseback, but the simplest cavalry hedging and archery on the horse could still be done.
Thousands of households in Zhenyuan have entered Lanshan, and Lanshan is only a representative mountain.
As soon as the Qinling Mountains pass, in fact, there are no peaks with an altitude of several thousand meters, and there are all mountains at a glance, and when you walk in, you can see that there are all continuous dwarf mountains.
There are hundreds of continuous dwarf mountains in Lanshan, there are valleys between the mountains, and there is a small plain under the valley, and in the Lanshan Mountain, there are thousands of acres of fertile land.
These 10,000 hectares of fertile land only need three inches of snow in winter and three inches of rain in summer, so the 3,000 households in Lan County can have surplus food.
The most tenacious vitality in the world is always people, and the easiest to satisfy is the farmer of the Zhuang style, with a yield of 200 catties per mu, 1,000 catties of grain, a family of seven, and no oil flowers in the iron pot, and a year has passed.
Lao Zhu is also a farmer, when the family is hungry, usually the grandparents often appear in a picture, half a bowl of rice, give their son an extra spoonful, after eating, pat the stomach and say, 'Eat' full'.
This is probably also the idea of the old Zhu Fenfeng Prince.
There were four or five hundred wild stone sheep, and after discovering that Zhenyuan Qianhu was chasing after hundreds of cavalry, the girl fled all over the mountains.
The direction of escape is the west, along the mountain all the way to the direction of the oasis plain, out of the Lanshan is the Gobi Desert, an endless barren beach, and then the Tengger Desert extension corner, and then Liangzhou, there is an oasis grassland in the southwest section of Liangzhou.
But there is no doubt that if the wild stone sheep living between the Gobi Mountains and rivers continue to travel westward, they need to migrate across the Liangzhou grassland to the Qilian Mountains.
This is a serious violation of the habits of wild stone sheep.
Therefore, the thousands of soldiers in Zhenyuan divided into two routes, all the way over the mountains to pursue the wild stone sheep, all the way out of the Lanshan Mountain, ran wildly in the canyon, and went to intercept the wild stone sheep westward.
It is necessary to drive the wild stone sheep to Qinchuan, Pingchuan, and all the way to the mountains north of Lanshan.
Where is the area where these wild stone sheep live.
"Drive!"
Zhu Di climbed the highest Lanshan, and the mountains and fields he saw were even clearer.
I saw that on the top of one mountain after another, the cavalry of the town's vanguard swept vertically and horizontally, led bows and cavalry shots, and shot the wild stone sheep that were running wildly behind all the way.
The leader of the wild stone sheep also seems to know that if he fights against these iron-blooded killing gods behind him, he will only die more, and he is running for his life.
Dilute Laws!
After all, the war horse was slightly superior, and the cavalry that was divided to intercept appeared in front of the wild stone sheep, while the thousands of households in the town behind stopped and began to drive the wild stone sheep north.
"That's the Stone Sheep Leader!"
Zhu Di stood on the Lan Mountain, pointed to a raised stone mountain, and asked a stone sheep on the mountain that seemed to be giving orders.
"Back to Your Highness, it seems that the leader of the stone sheep is a ram, and the horns are thicker and larger, and the body is more robust." Deputy Qianhu Zhang Guang replied.
"Is this an expulsion to the north?" Zhu Di's eyes flickered and he muttered to himself.
It seems to see extraordinary military wisdom.
"Boom!"
Under the leadership of the leader of the stone sheep, the wild stone sheep that was stopped by the east and west actually began to rush westward, not wrong, it was to rush into battle.
The wild stone sheep left their cubs behind, and the rams gathered in front, followed by the ewes and the slightly older stone sheep.
The charge began.
Fearless to the death, he will break through the westbound blockade.
"Release!" This is the flag language, the thousands of households in the town chasing behind stopped at the top of the mountain, and the flag bearer around him cheered the flag, so that the cavalry blocking the westward movement of the stone sheep took the initiative to let go of the gap and let the wild stone sheep pass through the gap.
This process is not long for a stone sheep running at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
Four or five hundred wild stone sheep galloped out to the western desert after leaving behind nearly a hundred carcasses and nearly fifty cubs.
This is just a migration of wild creatures, but for the Zhenyuan cavalry gathered in the mountains and rivers at this time, it smells extraordinary.
Thundered.
The sound of horses' hooves boiled deep in the Lanshan Mountains.
Zhenyuan Qianhu led nearly 300 cavalry along the canyon and mountain ridges of Lanshan and went north.
The rest of the cavalry searched the mountains and rivers and collected the corpses of the stone sheep that were shot, which would be food for a long time.
"Something is wrong, something is wrong, damn it!"
Deputy Qianhu Zhang Guang looked at Qianhu who was going north, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Di asked.
"Back to Your Highness, the wild stone sheep have been driven by us all the way to the mountain boundary all these years, and after all the way to the mountain is a desert, the place is vast and sparsely populated, and the mountains are connected to the mountains, even if the guard is established, it is difficult to detect the enemy in time." Zhang Guang quickly said:
"And the wild goats are the best scouts, and these wild animals are much, much more alert than we thought."
"Even if ordinary cavalry enters the mountains, it is not enough for the stone sheep to migrate, unless there is the power to make the wild stone sheep feel fearful approach."
"Let them break south even if they risk death, block three sides and drive them north, they would rather die than go north, then it can only be that there is a new force in the north that is enough to threaten the life and death of this stone sheep population."
"Whatever it is, you have to find out."
"I see!" Although Zhu Di has guesses, he is also admired when he is exposed to the mystery, it seems that this is a very simple strategy, but it is full of amazing and brilliant wisdom.
"Could it be the Yuan Army?" Zhu Di shook his head and watched as the Zhenyuan avant-garde thousand households disappeared into the vast mountains and rivers.
When the cavalry all over Lanshan began to gather, Zhu Di turned back to the front guard of Zhenyuan.
There is no Yuan Qi, and there is no crisis.
But when you look at the vast Lan Mountain, there will be a feeling like looking down on the abyss for no reason.
So.
Early in the morning, Mu Ying came to the town to which Zhenyuan Qianwei belonged, and brought more than 20 thousand households and hundreds of households to eat together.
Not only did he eat food, but he also pulled two carts and counted more than 60 stone sheep when he left.
Compared with Zhu Di, it is probably because a veteran like Mu Ying adapts to military affairs very quickly.
came to Lan County together to investigate the situation of each David's office, but at this time, Mu Ying had already mingled with many thousands and hundreds of households.
At least on the surface, Mu Ying and the generals are like glue.
After forcibly pulling away more than sixty stone sheep from Zhenyuan's avant-garde, Zhang Guang seemed to have reverence for Mu Ying.
Therefore, before Zhu Di opened his mouth, Zhang Guang opened his mouth to send all the remaining stone sheep of Zhenyuan's avant-garde to the Blue City Palace.
Zhu Di asked for half of the stone sheep, and the others sternly refused, leaving them to be eaten by the avant-garde soldiers in Zhenyuan, and Zhang Guang bowed down to Wang En with gratitude.
What Mu Ying wants is the majesty of the general.
What Zhu Di wants is the kindness of the king.
After eating boiled mutton, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and as soon as he returned to Lanxian County, Fang Xiaoru came anxiously.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you are back."
Fang Xiaoru is a civil official, handling government affairs, and the shogunate soldiers and the six guards of Lanzhou account for less than half a cent.
The Blue City Palace's Mansion is one article and one martial arts, and these two people go to a guard house casually, and the attitudes they accept are worlds apart.
"What's wrong, Brother Xiaoru?" Zhu Di asked suspiciously.
100,000 people who went north to live along the south bank of the Yellow River temporarily, this matter was operated by Fang Xiaoru, and he had no intention of asking.
Fang Xiaoru only needs to give him a result.
"Your Highness, hey!" Fang Xiaoru sighed and said: "It's cold, only the shantytowns drive away the cold, there are already people who can't stay, and they want to return to their hometowns, but Weichen tries his best to appease them, so that the riots will be quelled." ”
"But it's not a way to go on like this, the New Year is approaching, the New Year is approaching, if there is no proper arrangement, Wechen is worried that it will not only affect His Highness's prestige, but even cause turmoil."
When Guo Ying heard this, he immediately asked for his life: "Your Highness, the last general will ask for orders to guard the shantytown." ”
"I want to see which of the rebels dares to commit rebellion."
Zhu Di didn't care what Guo Ying was talking about, this guy has been training hard in recent days, and his hands have long been itchy, and now where there is a war, he wants to make up wherever he wants.
If only Beiyuan could do anything.
But the 100,000 people who went north were the foundation, and although the crackdown could solve the problem for a few months, in the long run, it was unacceptable.
"What do you think?" Zhu Di asked.
As a decision-maker, when there is a problem, you must not think of anything, just say it in one breath and tell the person who comes to report it, 'You go ahead and do it.'"
No matter how good it is.
Everyone is not a fool, and when they encounter anything, they actually have thoughts.
And for a person who thinks he has good ability, when he comes to report to his boss, he usually already has a way to deal with it, even if the way to deal with it is simple and crude, but there must be one.
I want my subordinates to work as diligently as the old cow.
Learn to listen.
Even listen to a suggestion that you think you can throw into a manure pit.
In a collective, in any position, there is a need for a sense of presence.
When there is no sense of existence, detachment from the collective becomes a certain thing.
And he made a very interesting summary.
When a matter that needs to be solved urgently arises, it must not be solved in a hurry, and the matter must be turned into a long development process.
It's like a rubber band, and at that time, you will find that this rubber band is just tightened, and it can be stretched more than twice.
When the time comes, look at the problem, and maybe the problem has disappeared.
Even if there are a few deep cracks, they can be easily solved by simply erasing them.
You can't do things that cut through the mess with a quick knife, because if this knife goes down, it may hurt others and yourself.
"Your Highness, Weichen feels that it is necessary to resettle the immigrants separately as soon as possible." Fang Xiaoru paused and said:
"The county magistrate of Lanxian County made a mistake in preparing for the northward migration, and 100,000 people living in groups along the south bank of the Yellow River and waiting for spring to resettle are simply foolish...... Wechen didn't want to say this anymore. ”
"The minister suggested that His Highness must come forward to reaffirm his promise again, to make those who have been rewarded believe that His Highness will give their reward, and to make those who have not been rewarded believe that His Highness will not abandon them, and after winter, they will have their own land."
"Calm down those impetuous hearts, and after the thaw, we will find a way to solve the land problem."
"Second, it must be demolished, even if it is cold, 100,000 people must be dismantled into 100 households and one battalion, and they must be resettled separately, and it is strictly forbidden to smuggle and teach, and it is too easy for many people to gather together to cause chaos."
"Third, Your Highness, is there really no way to keep these people busy, really, if you are idle like this, Weichen himself will be idle."
"The two old women sat and chatted with each other, chatting and chatting and scolding each other, and if the neighbors helped each other, it would soon spread into a brawl of hundreds of people."
Listening to Fang Xiaoru's suggestion, Guo Ying shook his head and said:
"It's too complicated, it's too troublesome, and I have to go down and give them assurance."
"Your Highness, there will be a way to enlist all these 100,000 people into the shogunate once and for all, and if these people dare to commit rebellion, the last will ensure that they will regret coming to this world."
"And His Highness currently has only two hundred soldiers, and it is time to recruit soldiers and horses and train them to strengthen His Highness's arms."
Fang Xiaoru looked at Guo Ying speechlessly, shook his head and said: "General Guo, recruiting troops at this time is by no means the best time, it will not only make the people feel uneasy, but also damage the prestige of His Highness in the hearts of the people, which is definitely not feasible. ”
Controversy is necessary.
If there is no controversy, controversy must be created.
Fang Xiaoru and Guo Ying have two very different ways of thinking about problems.
When the highest level of moral problems cannot be solved, the standard of morality is lowered step by step until it can be solved.
Guo Ying is different, she thinks from the level of the problem, as long as it is a problem, what kind of solution is the simplest and most effective, and what kind of method is used.
Therefore, one is a civil servant who governs the place, and the other is a military general who fights in all directions.
But in Zhu Di's opinion.
Both ignore a core idea.
Dut didn't put himself in his shoes.
This needs to be corrected, if the two of them don't even correct this, when he completely stabilizes his territory, he needs to be cooked by a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey.
"Divide 100,000 people into 100 households and one battalion, and each battalion will form a battalion to be responsible for maintaining order, not too many, keep it below 100 people, and the battalion will be presided over by General Guo."
"When King Chunben prepares to build the palace, he needs wood, and there are not a lot of pine trees in Nanshan."
"Then let 100,000 people go to cut wood, filial brother, this king Limu takes the letter, as long as someone sends pine wood from Nanshan to the palace, a piece of wood is 100 wen, and there will be no arrears, and this king will settle it on the spot."
