Chapter 332

This land was originally intended to be used for building a new house in the future, but now it seems that it can only be used for breeding.

It is the downwind of the village, and across the back mountain, it will basically not affect the villagers' living.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Renovate this land and turn it into a breeding land, and transfer all the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs there to raise them."

Li Yifu asked curiously: "Mr. County, just these poultry and livestock. This land is enough to raise them. Do you need such a large land?"

"Need." Li Zheng raised his head to the sky and pinched his fingers before saying, "I'll do the math, and the prince will bring more poultry to Jingyang within three days."

Let Li Yifu bring a few strong men from the village, and Li Zheng and the others came to the back mountain of the village.

This is the other end of the village. Originally, this is not a place in Jingyang County.

It's just that after Li Shimin awarded the land, the land in Jingyang County expanded a lot.

Not far away is Niujia Village, which used to be the fief of Niu Jinda.

Li Zheng said with some concern: "You said that we are building a breeding farm here. People from Niujia Village should not come to steal poultry, right?"

"You can rest assured in this county." Li Yifu said confidently: "Although there are so many houses in Niujia Village, there is only one family living there in Niujia Village, and that family is still the tenant of General Niu's family. "

The uncles in the village formed a fence around this piece of land together. With the experience of building houses before, it is no problem to build a breeding farm now.

The farm doesn't need to be very good, just build a large shed that can hold all the animals and protect it from wind and rain.

The area enclosed by the fence can be used for raising poultry on weekdays.

There is still a big difference between a few hundred pigs and two thousand pigs. Just a lot of pig manure needs to be cleaned up in a day.

This is an order of magnitude at all, and the first thing to do is to solve the problem of dung.

Pig excrement should not be dumped casually, but should be properly disposed of.

If it is dumped randomly, it will damage the soil of the place, and more seriously, it will affect the daily life of the villagers.

Pig manure is also a good thing, it can be used as fertilizer or biogas.

Li Yifu didn't think so, and whispered to Xu Jingzong who was watching the fun, "Old Xu."

"What's the matter?" Xu Jingzong ate the tomato and handed one to Li Yifu, "The tomatoes in the field are ripe recently, do you want to eat one?"

Li Yifu had no appetite, so he said in a low voice: "You said that it is fine for the county marquis to raise so many livestock, why do you want to store so much manure, I remember that our county marquis does not have this preference."

Xu Jingzong also whispered: "Do you know what an expert is?"

Li Yifu was puzzled and said, "You think the county lord's actions have other reasons."

Xu Jingzong heaved a long sigh, "A master is one, we will never understand what a master does, if you understand, do you think the magistrate is still a master?"

Li Yifu was thoughtful, "The county lord also said that the princes and lords who often come to announce the decree will come to Jingyang with thousands of pigs and thousands of chickens."

As expected, Wang Ding sent people to drive thousands of sows and hens to Jingyang the next day, and brought hundreds of catties of iron.

Let Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong count these livestock and poultry.

It is also necessary to confirm whether it is a hen or a sow.

Wang Ding said with an aggrieved face: "Does the County Marquis suspect that the old slave's money is not enough?"

"I don't worry about doing things in the palace." Li Zheng smiled and said to Wang Ding: "Does the prince eat tomatoes?"

Wang Ding took a bite of the tomato as if to vent his anger, "Xianhou, the sow and poultry have been delivered, I think the county can make new weapons now."

Before Li Zheng could answer, Wang Ding said again: "This time, the county marquis should not use inspiration to prevaricate the old slave."

"No, no." Li Zheng waved his hands again and again, "In less than six months, I can make a three-edged thorn."

"Six months?" Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "Will it be too long?"

"Five months, no more." Li Zheng said hastily.

"Five months is too long." Wang Ding still looked anxious.

"My lord, making weapons is no small matter. It requires the right time, place and people."

"The right time, place, and people..." Wang Ding didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why does this old slave feel that the magistrate is still prevaricating? How can this old slave explain to His Majesty?"

"Four months." Li Zheng reduced it by another month.

This Li Zheng is really too difficult to deal with, he is still so procrastinating after giving so many livestock and poultry.

Wang Ding quickly said: "To tell you the truth, to satisfy the poultry of the county lord, many villages near Chang'an have been emptied out, and a lot of money has been spent. I hope the county lord will stop making further progress. Three months! Three months!" Not more than a month."

"Okay, then three months." Li Zheng readily agreed.

Wang Ding was stunned for a moment, "Why does this old slave feel that he has been put together by the county lord?"

"It's not so fast to make weapons. There are a lot of preparations. Magical weapons are usually not so easy to produce."

"That's right." Wang Ding nodded, "It's getting late, and the old slave has to go back to serve His Majesty, and I hope the county marquis can step up to forge weapons."

"It's all as it should be, Eunuch Wang, go slowly."

"There's no need to send it off." Wang Ding led the people away.

After counting, Li Yifu came with a booklet, "Your Majesty, there is no mistake, the number is just right."

Li Zheng looked back at the farm in front of him. This was probably the only one in Datang.

The breeding industry in Datang is not very good. Many families raise it free-range. Even if there is pork, ordinary people raise it privately.

Besides, people in this era don't like to eat pork very much.

Aquaculture is a very important industry, and meat is an indispensable food for people's daily needs.

The development of the breeding industry is an indispensable part. Of course, people in the Central Plains have the habit of breeding, but there have never been large-scale farmers.

Livestock, like agriculture, are two important pillars of development.

Like the Japanese people, living by the sea and agriculture is not prosperous, and eating some salted fish is enough to satisfy their hunger.

It’s not unreasonable not to be tall. Before the Wa Kingdom entered the industry in the later generations, the nobles of the Wa Kingdom would not allow the people to eat meat under the situation of the Buddhist Kingdom.

This also caused the Wa people to get shorter and shorter.

It is a bit too wasteful for the people in the village to use [-] mu of land to build a special breeding farm.

Many villagers were watching, and Chaozhong gave a lot of sows and hens, thinking that the children in Jingyang County will not have to worry about having no meat to eat.

There is no need to worry about a few eggs. From now on, the children in Jingyang will have no problem eating eggs every morning.

Although it was a bit wasteful, the aunts in the village were very happy seeing so many hens and sows.

Li Shimin received Wang Ding's report. Although he didn't know why Li Zheng wanted such sows and hens, they were just some poultry. Could Li Zheng use these poultry to make a fortune?

Li Shimin said indifferently: "If Li Zheng can't produce new weapons in three months, he will take them to Dali Temple."

Wang Ding bowed and responded, "Here."

 I almost forgot to ask for a monthly pass
