Chapter 84: The Mystery of the Poultry (Seeking Reading)

In all the previous business dealings, what satisfied Yang Chuan the most was this time: the sentence 'Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away', sold for three hundred gold, in exchange for hundreds of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese.

Thinking that Chen Tang, the famous general of the Han family who said this famous saying, would not be born until a hundred years later, Yang Chuan felt that there was not the slightest pressure in his heart, so he sold it to Cao Xiang.

Before the poisoning, he was a cockfighting lackey, fighting, bullying men and women, and he had a soft spot for 'leaving a name in history', and I heard that he had raised a large number of scholars, and he was allowed to write articles for himself in order to win the reputation of cultural people.

In terms of the current literary atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, Cao Xiang is destined to be a bamboo basket for nothing.

For this, Yang Chuan is very sympathetic, think about it, in the current Han Empire, even a few of Sima Xiangru's rhetorical works have become 'famous articles through the ages', how good can those articles written by gunmen be?

Therefore, when Yang Chuan casually plagiarized a sentence of Chen Tang's 'those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away', Cao Xiang was naturally ecstatic, and immediately asked people to engrave this sentence into a plaque, inscribed with the name of 'Cao Xiang, Marquis of Pingyang of the Han Dynasty', and after framing it with gold, it was hung on the wall of Cao's ancestral hall......

……

The powerful family of the Han Empire is not only reflected in the identity, status, title and official position, but also in the rich world and vassals.

Cao Xiang gave an order, and the Hou Cao family of Pingyang heard the news, plus Princess Pingyang, Wei Qing, and the Han officials who were vassal under the Cao family, it only took ten days to sweep away the chickens, ducks and geese in the land of Guanzhong.

For a time, Chang'an chickens were expensive.

More than 90,000 chickens, more than 10,000 ducks, more than 7,000 goose, and less than 30,000 poultry eggs were all the results of the first batch of battles.

This number sounds like a big number, but in fact, when Yang Chuan heard about it, he felt very uncomfortable: "Dahan has just passed through the rule of Wenjing, and he can't imagine that the people are so poor in such a field? ’

The land of Guanzhong, as the richest place in the Han Dynasty at the moment, hundreds of thousands of registered people, but only 100,000 poultry are raised at home?

This special mother, on average, a family can't even share a chicken!

As a qualified cook, the first thing to consider is the ingredients, considering grain, meat, poultry eggs, vegetables and vegetables, seasonings, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Well, it's almost like a 300-pound cook two thousand years later, a three-year-long severe cold made this guy unemployed and write books at home......

……

Before chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry were delivered, Yang Chuan asked his cousin to take hundreds of servants to cut down a large amount of wood and bamboo, and enclosed his fiefdom.

Moreover, more than 2,000 acres of fields were divided into dozens of pieces of various sizes, and fenced off.

In each field, a simple chicken coop has been built, and a 'poultry drinking system' has been designed with hundreds of bamboos the thickness of an arm, so that a planned and step-by-step 'pest control plan' can be implemented.

For Yang Chuan's reuse, Tangyi's father was so excited that he wanted to cut a few knives on his face and swear an oath several times, but Yang Chuan stopped him mercilessly.

This Hun is simply amazing, the rust, oil and bacteria on the knife are all terrible, why do you cut your face with a knife at every turn?

So, Tangyi's father turned his grief into strength and began to concentrate on herding chickens, ducks and geese.

For him, the matter of herding chickens, ducks and geese was so simple that it was jaw-dropping, and he took dozens of hand-selected servants, and after a simple and crude 'training', he went straight to work.

When many people breed chickens, ducks and geese, they tend to isolate the three, thinking that this can be targeted and more convenient to manage.

But in the view of Tangyi's father, all living beings in the world have souls, each with its own subtlety, for example, chickens can catch insects, ducks can plow soil, geese are the best at fighting, these three kinds of poultry are mixed according to a certain proportion, not only will they not have conflicts, but will thrive more vigorously.

Cao Xiang and others did not understand this.

But Yang Chuan immediately understood the mystery, this is like in the grassland, a grassland or a tribe, the number of horses, cattle, sheep and dogs maintains a delicate balance, even the most powerful herdsman can not change all this.

For example, cattle, to a large extent, herdsmen need more than just beef, cowhide, milk, etc., but a more secret, real need, but inconspicuous cow dung.

Because of the special gastrointestinal function of cattle, a large amount of forage food will not be completely digested and absorbed, but excreted relatively completely, scattered on the grassland, and become one of the food for horses and sheep.

Really, horses and sheep love to eat cow dung.

Because, for their stomach, a special substance in cow dung is precisely one of the 'good medicines' that can help other herbivores digest and treat chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

In later generations, some grassland miracle doctors heard that they used cow dung to cure very serious stomach ulcers, gastritis, chronic gastritis and stomach cancer......

……

100,000 chickens, ducks and geese entered the vegetable field and began a large-scale 'pest control operation', and the scene was very spectacular.

Under the command of Tangyi's father and others, the chickens, ducks and geese had a clear division of labor, and soon turned into groups of 'gluttonous beasts', neatly arranging to clean up the insects in the vegetable field.

It can be seen with the naked eye that a large number of insects have been eaten, and the leaves of vegetables have rejuvenated within three or five days, growing pieces of tender green leaves, which makes Yang Chuan look very comfortable.

In the first few days, he would lead Cao Xiang, Sister Leopard and Silly Eagle to wander around the fields all day and night, feeling tired, and lying on the mazazi and drinking a few sips of syrup water choked with sesame oil and green onions to quench his thirst.

Surprisingly, Cao Xiang showed excessive passion for the matter of 'grazing chickens, ducks and geese', even if his body was covered with mud and grass clippings, he often squatted on the ridge and observed the poultry catching insects very quietly.

Yang Chuan inadvertently found that every time he watched chickens eat insects, Cao Xiang's mouth couldn't help twitching, subconsciously, it seemed to be imitating their insect catching movements, and he also raised his slender neck from time to time......

This discovery made Yang Chuan laugh, but he couldn't break it in person, for fear that this guy would be annoyed and ashamed.

"Yang Chuan, Ben Hou found a very interesting thing," on this day, Cao Xiang said excitedly after observing the poultry for two or three hours:

"Father Tangyi, this Hun is very powerful, he knows how to herd too well, you see, after he mixed chickens, ducks and geese according to a certain proportion, these chaotic guys quickly had order."

"Goose don't like to catch bugs, but they like to fight, they run all over the ground looking for mice, snakes and weasels, quacking and quacking, and pounce on them to peck at them, and even weasels and foxes don't dare to come and provoke them."

"Ducks have clumsy beaks and are not good at catching insects, but they are very good at digging up insects that are hidden deep in the soil, and then let the chickens catch and eat them."

"And those chickens have even learned to feed insects to ducks and goose."

"Yang Chuan, this cousin's father is a treasure, or sell me a hundred catties of gold?"

Regarding Cao Xiang's unreasonable request, Yang Chuan naturally refused bluntly: "Uncle Tangyi's father and I have a life-and-death relationship, so don't move this idea; Of course, if Pingyang Hou is interested in poultry farming, I can tell Uncle Tangyi and ask him to teach you a few tricks.

Rest assured, free teaching, no tuition-free ......"
