Since Li Xiao established Taoyuan Village here, everything here has changed dramatically.

Although their normal life has not been affected much, some of their usual work has changed drastically.

For example, the breeding industry is completely different.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the breeding industry has begun to show signs of growth, it basically stops at large livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses.

Chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, etc. have not yet appeared on a large scale.

Basically, they are raised by themselves in three or two.

Because of the different breeding methods and technologies, the individual differences in raising are also relatively large.

However, the current breeding industry in Taoyuan Village has completed the process of modernization under Li Xiao's intervention.

Not only is it large-scale centralized breeding, but all the food is feed, which is not a free-range mode at all.

Not to mention, Li Xiongzhi has hundreds of chickens and ducks in his hands, and dozens of pigs, cows, sheep, and the like.

As for the horses, they are not bred because they do not need them for the time being.

Fish are not farmed.

There is a constant supply of fish in the village stream, and the meat is delicious, so there is no need to bother raising it.

One of the most important reasons why they are reluctant to raise fish is that they would rather fish than fish.

Fishing has become an indispensable sport in Taoyuan Village, and it is also one of the few activities that can pass the time of boredom.

As for farmed chickens and ducks, they are purely for eating.

At the beginning, Li Xiongzhi studied with Li Xiao for a period of time, so that he could take care of so many poultry and livestock by himself.

It is precisely because of scientific and large-scale breeding that Li Xiongzhi can manage it alone.

Otherwise, so many poultry and winners, if they were placed in Daming, it would take at least a dozen people to manage them.

It is precisely because of the radical change in the breeding process that Li Xiongzhi has a headache.

Now his breeding is the same as before, and it is not the traditional breeding method in Zhu Yuanzhang's cognition at all.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, he hasn't realized it yet.

Li Xiongzhi was a little anxious about how he should explain to Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

At the beginning, when Li Xiao introduced this set of processes to himself, Li Xiongzhi also digested it for a long time.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang outside the door, Li Xiongzhi sighed helplessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang has already said so, and he got up so early to block himself, so he must not give up in the Yellow River.

In that case, the only way to do this is to bite the bullet.

Immediately, Li Xiongzhi got dressed, washed up casually and walked out.

"Big brother, since you have said so, then you can come with me."

"But I still have to explain it to you."

"It's really not that we don't give you something to do, it's that there's really nothing to do."

Li Xiongzhi still wanted to explain, but was directly ignored by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he followed Li Xiongzhi all the way and saw a lot of poultry and livestock.

This is something he hadn't seen before.

"Xiongzhi, don't say it."

"How many chickens and ducks can you manage alone?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the hundreds of chickens and ducks in the surrounding chicken farms and said.

Now he was even more suspicious of the motives of these people.

These people definitely don't want to let themselves do things.

Because of this kind of place, Li Xiongzhi didn't take him here before, he just took him to some inconsequential places.

It seems that he is still kept in the dark by these people.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, it is already unthinkable for a person to be able to raise forty or fifty chickens and ducks.

But there were hundreds of them here, and he saw dozens of cattle and sheep.

With so many poultry and livestock, it is absolutely impossible for Li Xiongzhi to be responsible for it alone.

Even if it can be completed, Li Xiongzhi is estimated to be tired enough.

"Xiongzhi, in addition to so many chickens and ducks, there are actually so many cattle and sheep."

"Tell me how you raise it alone."

"Don't worry, we'll be able to help."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi and said with a smile.

Not to mention, it takes a lot of time just to feed and clean up the animals.

Now there must be something to do, and he can also reflect his value.

But Li Xiongzhi's next answer made Zhu Yuanzhang a little confused.

"Big brother, I really don't need your help here."

"I'm enough for myself, and I'm still very idle." Li Xiongzhi replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

I didn't expect this guy to be so hard-mouthed in Li Xiongzhi.

He is now on the scene, and he has seen such a large-scale breeding, can he be busy alone?

Isn't that?

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Xiongzhi was still unwilling to let himself work.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang replied with some displeasure: "Xiongzhi, don't be hard-mouthed." ”

"With so many chickens and ducks, pigs and cows and sheep, can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, leave it to us, we won't be dirty."

Hearing this, Li Xiongzhi sighed helplessly: "Big brother, I really don't need your help." ”

This time Zhu Yuanzhang was even more displeased.

There are obviously so many things here, since you don't need to help yourself.

"Xiongzhi, I haven't fed the chickens and ducks today."

"Where is the rice, let's go get it and feed it." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Since Li Xiongzhi didn't arrange a job for him, he would find it himself.

"Big brother, don't feed it."

"It's all automatic." Li Xiongzhi replied lightly.

After speaking, Li Xiongzhi pointed to a pipe on their heads and explained: "This is the pipe that transports feed. ”

"As soon as the trough in the chicken farm is almost finished, the trough will be automatically filled."

"And this pipe is connected to the barn outside."

"I've long been full of defective rice in that barn, and I've been able to eat these chickens and ducks for two months at a time."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little incredulous.

What Li Xiongzhi means is that these chickens and ducks don't even need to be fed, as long as they make up the rice once, they can not be fed for two months, so simple and efficient?

"You don't have to feed chickens?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some disbelieving.

Li Xiongzhi nodded: "It's not that you don't have to feed, but you can feed it once for two months." ”

After speaking, Li Xiongzhi pointed to the trough in the chicken farm: "Big brother, look for yourself." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked in the direction pointed by Li Xiongzhi.

I saw groups of chickens and ducks eating around the trough, and the feed in the trough was visibly decreasing.

But whenever the bottom is near, new paddy will appear in the pipes above the trough, refilling the trough.

This scene was a little too magical, which surprised Zhu Yuanzhang a little.

"And that's the same with the water?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Li Xiongzhi nodded.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang understood why there were so many chickens and ducks, and Li Xiongzhi was enough alone.

You know, the first and most important thing in breeding is feeding.

Only when they are well fed will the animals grow strong.

If this problem is solved, then everything else is easy to say.

But Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't give up.

"Then let's go shovel that." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Eat and drink Lazar, since the problem of eating and drinking has been solved, then Lazar must also be solved.

You can feed the chickens automatically, but you can't automatically wipe the chicken's buttocks and shovel feces.

"Big brother, no need." Li Xiongzhi replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled: "Xiongzhi, still has to be shoveled." ”

"Let's not talk about how rushed the smell of chicken poop is, too much chicken poop is easy to breed mosquitoes and flies."

"Big brother, do you smell anything pungent?" Li Xiongzhi asked out loud.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he really didn't smell any bad smell.

You must know that the smell of ordinary farms is earth-shattering, and smoking can smoke people to death.

But Li Xiongzhi's chicken farm really doesn't have any taste.

"Big brother, do you have any mosquitoes and flies around you?" Li Xiongzhi asked again.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again.

There are really no mosquitoes and flies around him.

Mosquitoes are all over the sky in ordinary farms, but there are very few here in Li Xiongzhi, which is really strange.

Immediately, Li Xiongzhi pointed to the inside of the chicken farm: "Big brother, look." ”

"There's some in there."

Zhu Yuanhang followed the prestige, and it was as Li Xiongzhi said.

There really isn't much in the chicken farm.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more puzzled.

There's no in the chicken farm, isn't that?

Could it be that these chickens are all descendants of Pixiu, and they only eat but do not pull?

Li Xiongzhi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was shocked and puzzled, and explained with a smile: "Big brother, there is also a mechanism under this chicken farm. ”

"Once the is piled up to a certain level, there will be a barricade on the ground."

"is going to fall down the cracks in these nets, and we're down there with a stream."

"Chicken poop becomes feed for the fish."

After speaking, Li Xiongzhi kicked a piece of wood under his feet, revealing the water below.

"In this way, the chicken farm will be much cleaner and there will not be many mosquitoes."

"If there are mosquitoes in the future, it's just a snack for these chickens and ducks."

"And our chicken farm is ventilated on all sides, so there is no ventilation."

"There are also a lot of spiritual plants around that can remove the smell, so there won't be any bad smell."

"So don't look at so many chickens and ducks, but I'll be enough alone."

Li Xiongzhi explained to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

After listening to Li Xiongzhi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of surprise on his face.

The design of this chicken farm is really ingenious.

"This is Li Xiao's handiwork." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Li Xiongzhi nodded: "Yes, this chicken farm was built by Brother Xiao." ”

"I knew that he was the only one who had the ability." Zhu Yuanzhang was quite sure of Li Xiao's ability in his words.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around.

Since you can't raise chickens, let's raise pigs.

"Xiongzhi, then let's go cut some pigweed." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Chickens and ducks use rice as feed, so the pigs have to make their own.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he could still do something.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiongzhi shook his head again: "Big brother, this pig is the same." ”

"It's also automatically fed, and I eat the feed that Brother Xiao has prepared."

"That guy, after eating the feed prepared by Brother Xiao, he can grow two hundred catties of meat in three months."

Between the words, Li Xiongzhi admired Li Xiao a lot.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.

What do you mean, you can't cut pigweed?

What is this farm without anyone doing it?

No wonder Li Xiongzhi can manage it alone, it seems that he doesn't need people at all.

"Xiongzhi, your farm won't be automatic."

"If that's the case, wouldn't there be no need for anyone to watch it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unconvinced.

In any case, people are the most important thing.

He won't be able to have something that doesn't require manpower.

"Big brother, it's true." Li Xiongzhi replied: "It's really automatic. ”

"As for why I'm working here, it's just that I come here every day to patrol it."

"Let's see if there's anything special going on, and if there's something unexpected, just deal with it."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "For example, what kind of accident?" ”

At the end of the day, people are needed to do the work.

It's just a few, but it's enough to work.

At least I can show that I don't eat white rice.

Hearing this, Li Xiongzhi's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Big brother, there are no accidents, I can handle all of this." Li Xiongzhi snorted.

But the more Li Xiongzhi is like this, the more curious Zhu Yuanzhang becomes, and the more he has to ask questions.

"Xiongzhi, just tell us, what kind of accident is not over."

"There's nothing to hide from this." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi with burning eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xiongzhi replied with an embarrassed face: "For example. For example, a sow is going to give birth or something. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned.

But he didn't think it was a big deal.

Although the sow calves are indeed important, and it is related to whether there are piglets behind it, there is no need to pay so much attention to it.

In the past, after the sows raised by the landlord gave birth, they were fed more feed.

And then it's just to take out the dead piglets.

"Isn't it just a sow giving birth, which is also called an accident?"

"Can't the sow take care of the piglets?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.

Li Xiongzhi can fully understand Zhu Yuanzhang's mood at the moment, isn't it just that the livestock has a cub, what is there to make a fuss about.

But Li Xiongzhi knows that there is a lot of knowledge in this.

At first, he didn't know about it, until Li Xiao told him the importance of this matter.

"Big brother, that's not what I said."

"The sow still has to pay attention to the calves, which is related to whether there are more piglets and better pork to eat in the future."

"If one of the little piglets gets sick, won't it be a disaster for the whole litter of pigs."

"Besides, what if the sow has a difficult birth."

"We don't have to do it yet."

Li Xiongzhi replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.

No wonder Li Xiong's expression was a little weird, it turned out that this special thing also involved delivering sows.

"Big brother, if you have to work, I only have this job here."

"It just so happens that a sow is about to give birth recently, so you can come over and help." Li Xiongzhi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little uncomfortable.

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to deliver the sow, isn't this a few nonsense.

But he found it himself, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"It's fine to help, but I don't have much experience." Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to try to refuse.

But Li Xiongzhi obviously didn't give him this opportunity.

I saw Li Xiongzhi take out a book from his arms and hand it to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Big brother, take this book back and read it for two days." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took the book, and wrote the seven big characters of 'postpartum care of sows' in between.
