It has been four or five months since the sweaty BMW lightning that was brought back from the Youzhou grassland last year. Now I follow the cavalry training every day, and it is estimated that it will take a while to be sent here to wait for the baby.

Don't look at the horse farm, it's not big, but it's all a selection of one-in-a-thousand mares, and the baby born from the red rabbit horse, a boutique of water. Fifty soldiers took turns guarding day and night, and ten horsemen took care of them at any time, and those who were generals did not have this treatment.

Unlike here, the mule breeding farm dozens of miles away is bustling. Last year, the first batch of more than 1,000 prairie horses began to produce horse mules.

The jet-black mule was born with four long legs.

There were thousands of small mules at once, and the owner of the horse farm Bo was excited and vigilant. Now I am on duty day and night, for fear that something will happen.

"Tsk, this is a divine beast, I've never seen such a livestock before."

"I heard that this mule can't give birth, it's really strange, it doesn't look special, and it's also divided into male and female."

At this time, Liu Mu came: "Do all the work that should be done, don't look at it, it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of mules born next year, and you will see it." ”

A big household in the south of the city, Li Donkey's family, Li Donkey was happy and happy.

His family has more than a dozen donkeys for farm work, and last year the government advertised mules, but most of the people did not believe them.

But Li Mao Donkey believes that he thinks that Lu Bu is Wen Hou, is it fun to lie to you as a common person? What's more, it's still free.

Li Donkey made his donkey match with the stallion of the horse farm, but he didn't expect to give birth to more than a dozen donkeys and mules one after another in this month.

This novelty donkey and mule is far better than a donkey foal, and it is said that when it grows up, it is taller and larger than a donkey, and it is a good hand at pulling carts in ploughing the land.

Well, this year, some big families want to find a horse for their donkeys in the military horse farm, and there is no way to do it for free, 300 wen at a time.

People are like this, they don't dare to go when it's free, and they line up for a fee.

Assassin Shi Mansion, Lu Bu and Chen Gong are laughing, and the joy is blooming.

"Lord, I am convinced of your idea. The perfect combination of horses and donkeys, the offspring of dwarf steppe horses and aconitum donkeys turned out to be big mules, if there are hundreds of thousands of such cattle, our Qingzhou will be the richest state in the world. ”

"Gongtai is right, the most inseparable thing for agricultural civilization is the big livestock, once the big livestock is enough, the grain output will increase steadily. Have other horse farms, cattle farms, donkey farms, and pig farms been inspected, and have been patronizing the training of cavalry recently, and have not asked about it. ”

Chen Gong took out a notebook from the table: "My lord, please see, this is a summary of our breeding in Jinan, and there are relatively few government-run farms in other counties, and they haven't been reported yet." ”

Lu Bu looked at it, it was really amazing. It is only mid-March, and there are 5,200 new purebred grasslands this year, and it is expected that there will be 2,000 more to be produced. There were 2,200 newborn horses and mules, and more than 200 purebred aconitum donkeys, and there were fewer cattle, because they had fewer to raise. Cattle are mainly in the hands of large private households, but there are also yeoman farmers.

However, more than a dozen government-run pig farms are now expanding too much, and there are 20,000 fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered alone.

There are also more than 30,000 chickens, which is indeed a lot.

"Gongtai, why do you raise so many fat pigs, why don't you arrange to eat them during the Chinese New Year."

Chen Gong waved his hand again and again: "How to eat, who will eat." There are hundreds of fat pigs in each battalion, and Tunding and refugees also have their own ones, and they also see meat during the Chinese New Year. Now these pigs have nothing to do, anyway, they are mainly grazing, and they can also produce more pig fertilizer. That Liu Dawu also made a lot of improvements to pig raising, and when the chickens were fine, I let him manage a pig farm, which was better managed than other pig farms. Several kinds of wild vegetables were planted, and the pigs ate very fat. ”

"Arrange logistics, allocate battalions, 500 heads per battalion, and increase the frequency of eating meat."

Chen Gong strongly objected: "No, no. The lord is really not good, there is a saying, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift is difficult. If you eat meat every day now, and in the future, when you are marching and fighting, you will suddenly eat grain and pickles, and the soldiers may have difficulty swallowing. Now I eat eggs once every two days and pork once every seven days, and I can guarantee that the Guards don't have this food. ”

"So what do you say about these fat pigs? There are more than 20,000 heads, so you can't keep them all. ”

"Every county has a government-run butcher shop, domestic sales plus export sales, as much as you can sell, if you can't sell it, you can raise it, and wait for the beginning of winter to make air-dried bacon, which can be kept for a long time as military rations. There is a lot of fishmeal from Donglai County, and with the old grain of large families, it is not a problem to feed these pigs. ”

"Okay, then do it according to the meaning of the public station."

Lu Bu issued a decree to reward Liu Mu, Liu Dawu, Chen Heng, and the heads of each farm, but those who are practical and willing to work will receive important rewards.

In terms of handicrafts, it has been greatly developed, and the mass production of new ploughshares, new cocoon cars, new sickles, cylinder cars, treadle water wheels, and hand-pressed water lifting wells has begun.

In particular, the hand-pressed well, which has been popularized in the military camp, is a masterpiece drawn by Lu Bu and Lu Youcai. Cast iron is used as the well head, rocker arm, suction pipe, and structure order.

When you need water, you just need to fill the well with water, shake the rocker arm, and the water will come up in a short time.

It is very convenient to get water, water the vegetable field, wash clothes and cook.

There has also been a lot of progress in the military industry, the first is that Ma Jun improved the miniature repeater designed by Lu Bu, which provided a powerful crossbow arrow output for Lu Bu's eight thousand iron cavalry. The second is that the weapons of the light cavalry have been improved, and long weapons such as spears and spears have been abandoned. The cavalry knife forged with a cross pickaxe was narrow, but it was sturdy and durable, with a sharp population, which could break light armor, and most importantly, it was light, and it was most suitable for long marches.

Early this morning, Lu Bu was playing with his daughter Lu Ling and son Lu Jin in the house, and the soldiers at the door came to report: "The merchants of Guilin County are here, saying that they have sent more than 100 ponies, and now they are waiting at the racecourse in the south of the city." ”

Lu Bu remembered that this was the businessman he contacted last year, through Rencheng Lu Qian, this businessman was active in Nanyue and Guilin, and he was a local hero, and Lu Bu estimated that Cao Cao's elephant was sent by this caravan.

"Okay, settle down in the post house to rest first, and I'll be over in a while."

Lu Bu asked Diao Chan to call over, and brought Lu Ling with him, Dian Wei led the guards to protect it, and a group of more than ten people soon came to the newly built horse farm in the south of the city.

Lu Ling was stunned at the time, after all, she was a little girl in her teens: "Ah, how can there be such a small horse, less than five feet." ”

Diao Chan was also surprised when he saw it: "Husband, what kind of horse is this, why is it so small?" ”

"It's strange, this is a southern pony, don't look small, it's still good to carry a person of ordinary weight, and the pulling force is also great, this is a working horse, not a good thing."
