The imperial court put all the cattle together, and every day some cattle were infected and sent to the various city gates. The entire Zuo Wuwei was dispatched to each square to look for people from door to door. All those who enter the city must receive a pox before they can enter. In half a month, millions of people in Chang'an City were planted. Such are the benefits of feudal society. The people were very obedient when they saw the officers and soldiers.

In the past half month, Li Shen has circled dozens of acres of land behind Huangzhuang near the coal mountain. Drywall. Mobilize a thousand people and a thousand guards. Half a month to build a circle of walls. Now a thousand people are building houses in it. Li Shen is ready to build a breeding farm. Poultry and livestock, Li Shen also plans to buy a few cattle from the grassland to come back and breed. You can't stop me from eating foreign cattle.

Subsequently, Wang Hongfu bought chickens, ducks, geese, horses, cattle and sheep everywhere at a high price, focusing on pigs. The largest pig in this era is only about 100 catties. Li Shen guessed that the first possibility was that there was no extra food to feed. The second is that the pigs are not neutered. Generally, it is set aside for breeding, and the rest are sterilized, and the pigs are not so energetic, so they can only eat and sleep and eat enough.

Li Shen's distillery has a lot of sake lees every year. It's all made of grain, and it can be used as feed. A month later, Li Shen's farm was finally completed. The poultry and livestock that Wang Hongfu purchased are also in place. Including those in charge of feeding.

Looking at the breeding farm full of livestock and poultry, Li Shen was happy in his heart. However, an important issue that needs to be solved now is the hatching of chickens, ducks and geese. It is impossible to hatch on the poultry itself, and there are not so many birds. So Li Shen prepared several large hatching rooms. A simple thermometer was also made.

In fact, I made a simple thermometer when I was in school. Elementary school students in future generations can do it. Prepare a glass tube with one end open and add mercury.

Put it in the ice-water mixture and wait for the mercury to be stably marked as zero, and then put it in boiling water to wait for the mercury to rise and stabilize and then mark it 100 degrees, and finally as long as the two marks are evenly divided into 100 parts, a simple thermometer is ready. Of course, there are still errors. It shouldn't be too bad.

Li Shen didn't have a glass tube, but Li Shen had money. I bought more than a dozen large crystals for people to polish by hand. The craftsmen who worked felt that Li Shen was really a loser.

A few days later, the simple thermometer was ready. Li Shen gave it a try. Then I arranged someone to be in charge of the work of the hatchery, as a child from the countryside in the previous life, hatching poultry generally understands.

The temperature is around 38 degrees. So the stove is needed as a heating tool. The furnaces of the Tang Dynasty did not have a furnace tube. That's why it is said that burning coal is poisonous. The stove made by Li Shen has a furnace tube, and if it is not so closed, there will be no coal poisoning incident. (Don't look down yet)

As for spaying and neutering pigs, it's even simpler. When I was a child, the pigs at home were sterilized, and the villagers generally helped to do it. Just do a good job of sanitizing. It's not like you have to find a veterinarian now. Those who are clean in the palace can do it. As for feeding, there is grass on the mountain at this time that can be fed. Plus, there's sake lees.

In this way, the news of King Ji's pig breeding spread all over Chang'an, and some people said that Li Shen was a loser. Some people say that Li Shen is not doing his job. There are also some people who have begun to analyze whether they should also follow the trend and raise some poultry and livestock. King Ji makes money in everything he does, and many people are considering whether to follow suit.

"Shopkeeper Wang, how are the poultry hatched in the feedlot?" It's been almost a month. There should be results.

"Back to the prince, six layers of eggs have been hatched, and four layers of eggs have been broken." Wang Hongfu returned. This already shocked him. For the first time, I saw that poultry could hatch without having to do it yourself.

"Only sixty percent? It still seems that there is a problem. You asked someone to send me the hatching record in the evening. I want to see a detailed record. Let's start the second batch as well. I want chickens and ducks to run all over the land, and pigs and sheep to run all over the mountain. Li Shen was a little disappointed. There must be something wrong with the temperature in that place. Li Shen's prediction is seventy percent.

"It's the prince," Wang Hongfu commanded.

"Lord Wang, there are no major events in the country at present. I just heard that Liangzhou said that Xue Yantuo had a change. However, there is no clear purpose. On the Tibetan side, we have sold the third batch of grain to their tribal leaders.

It's three or four percent of their market price. The price of their grain is more expensive than ours, and it is about 20 wen per bucket, and the old grain we sell them is 8 wen.

We also don't make money on additional transportation fees. You may also lose a penny. Now they have been sold 800,000 stones. Enough food for 200,000 people a year. Wang Xuance began to report on the latest situation

"Not enough, I asked some Tibetan merchants and the imperial court to investigate. I estimate that the current population of Tibet is between 100 and 1.3 million. We are going to give them at least 500,000 people a year's worth of food. In this way, it will be possible to reach half a year's worth of food for a million people.

And we have to send it at a fixed time. Delivered once every three months. It doesn't matter if it's just a penny or two. It's just tens of thousands of habits in a year. I want to get my hands on their food as fast as I can. "Li Shen doesn't have a good impression of Tibet. Hundreds of attacks were launched over the past 200 years. It's still a kiss.

"It's the prince." Wang Xuance also received the order

Li Shen looked at Xue Rengui again.

"Lord Wang, the training of the guards has not changed. The newly equipped crossbow bolts are very easy to use, with low winding effort and long range and great power. The guards are scrambling to adjust. There are also horseshoes made by the prince for the first time that have been fully equipped. Very easy to use. In this way, we can save a lot of maintenance costs and losses for a year.

In the end, the elite soldier plan proposed by the prince has been delayed for a long time because of smallpox. I don't know when the prince is going to start the selection. Xue Rengui was full of praise for the review crossbow that Li Shen had studied.

"Hmm. Then three days later. I'm going to arrange the assessment items. You can't just let them join in so easily. By the way, how many people signed up this time. Li Shen was going to go back and think about it. Although I have never been a soldier, I have watched a lot of TV series about special forces. Although mostly fictional. However, Li Shen believes that art comes from life. It's just an exaggeration.

And Li Shen was also half a military fan in his previous life. In fact, Li Shen believes that every man has a dream of going into battle to kill the enemy when he is a child. Men are actually very interested in guns and equipment. It's just that some people are fanatical, and some people like it.

So Li Shen often watched some documentaries or something in his previous life.

"All the guards have signed up to participate, and even the officers have signed up."

"There are so many people, I have to think about it. There won't be too many people in this selection. I don't just want to be strong with force. Also have brains. Even luck is a sign of strength. You go back and tell these energetic young men. Force is not a necessary condition for victory. ”

"It's the prince," Xue Rengui also commanded

"That's fine. You just do what I said. I'm still relieved that you're doing things. Don't be afraid when you encounter difficulties. You will know in the future. You are slowly changing the world. Go ahead," Li Shen finally cheered everyone up and instilled their thoughts. This is a common method used by major companies in later generations.

And Li Shen returned to the study and began to think about the selection of special forces. He began to think back to every step of the TV series he watched, and then recorded it. Let's see which method is a little more reliable. In fact, Li Shen's idea of forming a special team came about after the attack on the paper mill.

He heard Wu Mei say that many aristocratic families cultivated dead soldiers, that is, personal armed forces. Although Li Shen has guards, they are all on the surface. Li Shen also needs a high-end force similar to the dead. Elite forces to help him do something.

But these 3,000 people are too many. He'll have to think about it.
