Poor family mother and son

Chapter 389 "Battle Chicken" "Charge Duck"

Xiangzi resisted the urge to swear, and patted the table to vent his anger: "They understand their calculations!

If the breeding is good, they pay more taxes, it is their credit; if the breeding is not good, or there is a chicken plague and duck plague, which makes the people lose money, that is our boss's fault! "

Huang Rong also patted the table, "slapping": "No! This is absolutely not possible! Why hasn't Bai Jiaxing come back, I have to go to these county government offices to make a big fuss!"

Zhao Min's chopsticks pierced the chicken's head, and made a "click, click" sound: "If Baijiaxing is not here, we can do it too!
Zhuo Yao, you and Xiangzi each have their own county, and I will go to the street to quarrel with Sister Huang and Sister Mu!
I still don't believe this evil!

The shit is all on our foreheads, if you don't put the shit in their mouths, I will write Zhao Min's name backwards! "

Chu Qing was stunned.

Unexpectedly, what did Zheng Xiaorou feed these big ladies?In just a few months, everyone's temper has grown!

"That... the snake bites the chicken, it will be cold if you don't eat it." Chu Qing pointed to the basin in the middle of the dining table, coaxing them: "Don't be angry, it's nothing serious, ah."

Seeing that it was the master who was getting angry, and the master had to take care of their emotions, several of them sat down awkwardly and brought food to Chu Qing one after another.

Zhuo Yao had almost finished eating, he didn't want his Zhuyeqing to be wasted.

After wiping his mouth clean, Zhuo Yao said: "Boss, Xiao Bao usually deals with this kind of thing by gagging with money, and dismissing their workers if they don't speak human words."

"Crack!" Xiangzi patted his chopsticks again: "That's right! Boss, let's withdraw a few carpentry workshops and stop working for them!"

The piece of meat that Chu Qing had just picked up was so frightened by Xiangzi, and he was extremely depressed: "You quit the workshop, how can I make money?"

Xiangzi said: "Let's recruit workers again! There is nowhere to recruit people!"

Mu Nianci also said: "Exactly! Re-recruitment! Master, didn't we build a meat processing workshop at the foot of the mountain, and we won't accept their chickens and ducks!"

Chu Qing didn't feel happy at all, she just felt that her own people were going to ruin her business: "Why are you so hard on money?!"

Chu Qing saw that there was no way to finish the meal in peace, so he had to put down the bowls and chopsticks and have a good chat.

Chu Qing said: "Let's first talk about whether what the ladies said today makes sense.

It is true that they want to put the responsibility on my head, but they are right in one thing, this year is really not good;
It should be said that it has been abnormal since last year.There was a lot of rain last year, and there was a lot of rainfall in the north, and there were several floods in the south;

But this year, so far, we haven't had a single rain here. Their excuse is the drought, but I have seen more serious things;
I don’t know if you have heard such a saying: “When the drought is extreme, there will be locusts”. The locust plague usually occurs with the drought. I see that when the farmers dig the land in the spring, they turn up a lot of locust eggs;

There will be no rain at the beginning of this year, and many river beaches have dried up. As soon as it rains, the sky will be full of locusts. "

Chu Qing didn't know how to tell them how the monsoon climate matched the landform and terrain to stimulate the occurrence and development of locust plagues.

She tried her best: "From us to the west, there is a large alluvial plain. Well...the alluvial plain is the sediment in the upper reaches of the river that cannot be carried downstream, and then the sediment is deposited in the downstream. Over time, it becomes a plain. .

The soil in this alluvial plain is mainly fine sand and alluvial loam, which are not easy to accumulate after floods, and droughts often break out after floods, with suitable temperature and humidity..."

Fortunately, the terms "temperature" and "humidity" are easy to understand, even if you haven't heard them before, you can understand them, and everyone can still listen to them.

Chu Qing continued: "Just like growing crops, when the temperature and humidity are right, the locust eggs in the soil can easily hatch. At this time, even with a light rain, these locusts will break out of the ground;

Now it has entered April, which is the time when the locusts will be unearthed;

Even if the imperial court needs to reserve money and food to prevent disasters, shouldn't we ordinary people take precautions?No one can withstand disasters, can they? "

Huang Rong said: "Yes, I personally experienced a locust plague when I was a child. At that time, the locusts covered the sky and the sun, and I was so scared that I had a high fever for several days;

When my fever subsided, I saw my sisters-in-law crying. They said that the cornfield, which was healthy the day before, was now crumbling and only bald. "

Xiangzi also said: "Oh, how many ordinary people are refugees like this! Those locusts don't eat crops, they eat people!"

"So," Chu Qing said: "Let's not think about what those officials want to do, we have to take care of ourselves first, most of our land is in the north, but now there is a lot in the south;

This year, there is little rain in the whole country. It is not sure where the locust disaster will start. "

What?Everyone was a little dazed.

Where is this all?The clear words made them confused.

"Originally, I haven't thought about it in this direction," Chu Qing continued, "Today, a lady said a farming proverb--there will be a severe drought in the world if there are many dragons, and this sentence reminds me of 'every drought will lead to locusts';
Just now I seriously thought about the terrain and climate here, and found that it is right to raise chickens and ducks. They are the 'fighting chickens' and 'charging ducks' fighting locusts, and they are masters of locust extermination!

Just raise less now!It has to continue to increase! "

Zhuo Yao interjected: "Boss, now every household has [-] cats and the common people scold you, do you want to increase the quantity?"

Chu Qing said: "The country does not care about the accumulation of animals, nor does it prepare for the loss of the people. The country is like this, and the people are like this. We are not afraid of being scolded, we can use the method of not being scolded."

Zhuo Yao was puzzled: "What method?"

Chu Qing smiled: "Xiaobao's solution, use money to solve it. After a while, you will post a notice saying that we will buy eggs and duck eggs, and we will also accept flake eggs that fail to hatch!
Let them make money, won't they stop scolding me?Will they raise more chickens and ducks? "

Xiaobao's method is to make them unable to make money, but Chu Qing uses money to lure and gag.

"Master!" Zhao Min yelled: "Repaying grievances with virtue is not the way to repay them! Why are you spoiling them! Our family's money didn't come from the wind!"

Chu Qing hurriedly picked a piece of snake meat for her, really afraid that she would pat the table again: "Our family also makes money here, and I will teach you how to marinate eggs and preserved eggs later. Not only do we let them raise chickens and ducks, but we Gotta make some money!"

Then he said to Zhuo Yao: "I will write letters to Songzhizhou, Xuzhi County and the current Qizhizhou of Jizhou, asking them to vigorously develop poultry breeding. I don't know if it will be too late, but it is better than not doing it. I handed over the letters."

Zhuo Yao nodded: "Then do you want to do something in the capital?"

Chu Qing thought for a while and said, "I'll write a letter to that side later to see if they can call on the surrounding people to raise chickens and ducks. Anyway, they won't raise chickens and ducks for nothing in the end, so we'll take them all."

Zhuo Yao asked: "That's unacceptable! How much money is enough!"

Chu Qing said: "As long as we make a move, there will definitely be people who follow suit, and I'm afraid we won't be able to accept it."

Regardless of who ordered each household to raise fifty chickens and ducks, in the end, they all became voluntary breeding!

Everyone saw that the master had a plan in mind, so they stopped entangled and continued to eat and drink. Well, the snake bites the chicken is still very delicious, even if it is not hot, it is delicious!
