Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186 [New Tool: Big Knife]

There is a township in the southeast of Panyu County in Jiaozhou, Nanhai County, and a large-scale pig farm in the southernmost part of the township.

The entire pig farm is blocked by a wooden fence. There is a more formal gate at the gate, and there is a new plaque on the door, engraved with: [Pig Pig Farm].

Pigs screaming from inside can be heard from outside the farm, and the air smells like pig manure.

Fortunately, it is not too heavy, and the pig farm is also built in a remote place.

The wooden fence of the pig farm is not only to prevent the pigs from running around, but also an important place to dry the sweet potato vines.At this moment, the wooden fence is covered with blue or dried sweet potato vines.

These sweet potato vines come from four sweet potato seedling fields in the outskirts of Panyu City. Now that the sweet potato seedlings have been transplanted, it is time to use the sweet potato vines grown from these sweet potato seedling fields to feed livestock.

The four large-scale sweet potato seedling fields in the three counties are all controlled by people arranged by Lu Bu.

Today, this porcupine pig farm has more than a dozen breeding pigs and more than 100 piglets. The piglets have been "castrated", and these pigs were purchased at high prices.However, there are enough sweet potato vines and chaff to feed, and the growth is good, and it will be ready for slaughter in about half a year.

The people who are responsible for daily feeding these guinea pigs are this pig farm. There are more than a dozen people, all of whom are farmers who have raised pigs, and most of them are women.

On a flat floor not far from the pig farm, there is also a large wooden fence, but instead of porcupine pigs, farm cattle and beef cattle are kept in it.The ones that can cultivate the land after being raised are called farm cattle, otherwise they are beef cattle.

These cattle are basically fed with dried sweet potato vines, and the cattle in this cattle farm are basically half-grown or young.

There are nine pig farms like this in Nanhai County, Cangwu County and Hepu County, namely: Linyun County and Gaoliang County in Hepu County; Mengling County, Guangxin County, Duan County in Cangwu County Xi County and Gaoyao County; Sihui County, Panyu County and Boluo County in Nanhai County.

Three counties, nine counties, and nine porcupine pig farms, with a total of more than a hundred breeding pigs and a total of more than a thousand piglets that have been castrated.Its number has already accounted for nearly half of the three counties.

There are only five cattle farms, namely: Guangxin County, Duanxi County, and Gaoyao County in Cangwu County; Sihui County, Panyu County, and Boluo County in Nanhai County.

There are more than [-] breeding cattle in the five cattle farms, and nearly [-] other cattle, accounting for half of the total number of cattle in the three counties.

There are nearly 200 workers responsible for feeding these guinea pigs and cattle.Food and lodging are included, and the average salary per person per month is about [-] renminbi.The salary is almost double that of ordinary private workers, so there are many people who want to work in these farms.

In Jiaozhou, a pig can be bought for about [-] yuan, and these castrated piglets, fed with sweet potato vines, can be slaughtered in about half a year, and the price should at least double.

However, the account is not calculated in this way, because according to Lu Bu's plan, these pigs are mainly for the army.

Veterinarian Duan Muze is in charge of nine pig farms and five cattle farms. Today he is checking the situation at this pig farm in Panyu County.

With Lu Bu as the backer, pig farms and cattle farms in various counties were quickly established.He also successfully recruited many people, and Duanmuze also recruited more than [-] veterinarians to help him take charge of the disease prevention and control of various farms.

"Father, the people from the Department of Agriculture have arrived, and Zhu Gui, the order of the Agricultural Research Institute, personally brought them here."

In a newly built wooden house, Duan Muze's eldest son came to inform him.

A few days ago, Duan Muze went to the [Agriculture Department] headquarters in Panyu City, and asked the Agriculture Department to help him make some tools and build some waterwheels and water mills in various farms.

Waterwheels are mainly used to lift water, divert water, and supply water for farms.Farms are basically built near rivers with convenient water sources.The water mill is used to grind some coarse grains for feeding pigs.

The Department of Agriculture also paid attention to the pig manure and cow dung from the Duanmuze farm. Now is the season for topdressing sweet potato seedlings, and there is little manure.

In particular, Zhu Gui, the agricultural research officer of the Department of Agriculture, has further improved the technology of irrigating crops with dung, and promoted the construction of new septic tanks in various counties. Instead, the dung in the septic tanks is used to irrigate crops after treatment, which can Increase a lot of production.

Today, Zhu Gui also came.

"Agricultural Research Institute ordered Zhu Gui to come? It should be for the construction of a new septic tank. Follow me out to meet him." Duan Muze was slightly startled, he did not expect Zhu Gui to come back.

Now the Department of Agriculture is developing very fast. First, it promoted the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and then introduced many new agricultural tools, and these new agricultural tools have a great impact on agriculture.

Agriculture is fundamental, so the status of the Department of Agriculture can be imagined.

Zhu Gui is the Department of Agriculture, the Agricultural Research Bureau's Agricultural Research Order, and it is also a high-ranking authority today.In particular, the new septic tank he recently launched has been highly valued and appreciated by Lu Bu.

At present, the Agricultural Research Bureau mainly focuses on the research of crops, but also includes farming into the scope of the research.In this way, Duanmuze has hope to enter the Agricultural Research Bureau and enter the officialdom.

Duan Muze has two sons, the eldest son has reached the crown, and the youngest son is 16 years old.The eldest son has inherited Duanmuze's veterinary skills, while the younger son seems to have a prejudice against veterinarians and wants to be a doctor who treats people, not a veterinarian.

As for the future of the two sons, Duan Muze has also considered, planning to let the eldest son follow him, let the younger son enroll in [Hua Shen Medical College].Now, the eldest son is running around with Duanmuze, while the younger son has been placed in Panyu City. Duanmuze plans to take the time to visit Hua Tuo first, to see if there is any hope for Hua Tuo to accept his younger son as a disciple.

"Agricultural Research Order, I didn't expect you to come in person. I'm so disappointed." Duan Muze took his eldest son and found Zhu Gui and his party.

Zhu Gui didn't go to Duanmuze's residence, but went directly to the gate of the pig farm.

"Master Duanmu, you are welcome. I brought all the utensils you asked for today, and I also brought craftsmen to build waterwheels and mills for you. I also hope that you can cooperate with us in building septic tanks on the farm." Sloppy, well suited for his 20-something age.

Duanmuze's nine pig farms and five cattle farms are all registered with the Bureau of Commerce and have obtained breeding documents, which are commercial in nature.

So Duanmuze is called the host, and Duanmuze has also gotten used to it recently.

It's just that he originally wanted to treat Zhu Gui well, but he didn't expect this person to do things so straightforwardly, so he had no choice but to cooperate, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the agricultural research order, we will fully cooperate."

Zhu Gui nodded, and then said to a subordinate beside him, "Bring that thing up."

After a while, the subordinate came up with a big knife and a wooden board, and the big knife was installed on the wooden board.

"Master Duanmu, this is a newly made [Big Gate Knife] from our Agriculture Department. It is specially used to cut sweet potato vines. Let me demonstrate it first."
