?In the western suburbs of Xiyang City, chickens cried in a row near the Tianshi Fort on the eastern foot of Longtou Mountain. Tian Zongyuan looked at a basket of chickens loaded onto a carriage with joy. Today, his chicken farm was shipped, and more than a thousand chickens were about to be transported away. Then the carriage brought back was the jingle щww{]lā}

"Clean up and pick out the earthworms, and you have to put the materials in a while." Tian Zongyuan instructed the chicken husband. There were piles of pig manure in a shed in the chicken farm, and there were dense dark red earthworms squirming inside.

"The owner, the pig manure has doubled. Now there are two thousand new chickens, and it's almost impossible to eat."

Tian Zongyuan nodded and said, "This time they went to the military camp to send chickens. They passed by the pig farm on their way back. Don't worry."

Walking around in front of the chicken coop and looking at the dense chicken coops, he told his men to pay attention to disinfection so that they would not suffer heavy losses from the chicken plague one day. Now the cost of expanding the chicken farm has been recovered, and the next time is a good time to make a lot of money.

Tian Zongyuan also inspected the charcoal furnace in the chicken coop. It was very cold in winter and early spring, so it was necessary to heat the chicken coop with a charcoal furnace. Burning charcoal is a expense, and ensuring that the chicken coop does not catch fire is the top priority. Therefore, Tian Zongyuan repeatedly told everyone to pay attention to fire prevention.

‘Wait until next month, the size of the chicken farm will double again.’ Tian Zongyuan thought in his heart. It’s not that he is greedy, but that he is indeed confident that he dares to plan like this. It’s not that he has never raised chickens before, but that he doesn’t dare to think about such a large-scale chicken farm.

Chicken plague is a big problem, and just what to feed so many chickens is also a big problem. Thousands or even tens of thousands of chickens need to eat is not a small amount, but it has been different since he learned the method of earthworm breeding from Yuwen Envoy.

He didn't know how to think of this strange method to breed earthworms with smelly pig manure, but the actual effect was good. After trying for the first few months, Tian Zongyuan mastered this method and then entered the time to get rich.

The chickens in the chicken farm have enough earthworms to eat every day, and the growth rate is not slow. The average time for slaughtering is about 50 days. From early April last year to now, Tian Zongyuan's chicken farm has four batches of more than 6,500 chickens slaughtered.

Not only his family, Tian’s chicken farm, was taken away for every batch of slaughtered. The demand for thousands of fighters in the Hulin Army was not a joke, and the demand for chickens in Xiyang City is increasing every month, so there is no need to worry about lack of sales.

Chicken and eggs are needed. His chicken farm relies on these two things and takes eight months to make more money than in the past two years. If the breeding scale is expanded, he can make more money.

What you fear for large-scale chicken raising is plague. After more than half a year of exploration, you have gained experience. First, you must ensure ventilation in the chicken house, and then deal with the sick chickens in time. The earthworms you feed must be boiled in boiling water. If you feed them directly, the chickens will easily get sick or have poor physical condition.

Walking back to the fort, a 'rattle' sound came from the pond next to him. Tian Zongyuan turned around and saw a large group of ducks. There were as many geese in the lake not far away.

This is a duck farm opened by other people in the tribe. It also raises many geese. The scale is exaggerated. It also uses pig manure to breed earthworms to feed ducks. It’s a pity that the goose eats vegetarian food and not earthworms.

But the ducks and geese that are slaughtered are also in short supply, because in addition to eating meat and eggs, the government army also needs feathers and a lot of feathers.

Arrows need feathers to make arrow feathers. Of course, the best thing to do is carved feathers, and then the geese feathers. However, it is impossible to find so many carved feathers and geese feathers, so goose feathers are commonly used arrow feathers. Of course, they really cannot be used for duck feathers, and chicken feathers are the same.

Therefore, the chicken farm, duck farm and even goose farm in Tian’s family are being expanded, and chicken farms around Xiyang City are also being expanded in the scale of the farm. Yuwen envoy likes to fight, and he has to use countless arrows when fighting. When everyone thinks of this, they are full of expectations.

A large group of carriages were loading ducks on the road ahead, and a group of people surrounded him. Tian Zongyuan saw two familiar figures from it. He quickly walked up to say hello: "Uncle Jiu, A Long."

One of the old men is the highest-ranking person in the Tian family, while the other young men is Tian Yilong, the son of the chief clan, who often leads his tribe members to fight with the official army.

After fighting for more than half a year, the tribesmen who participated in the war made meritorious service and were rewarded, and the land was awarded at the end of the year. The Tian family, who was originally a large population, was shocked to find that there were not enough people.

"It's Ayuan." The old man said with a smile. He was in a good mood today. In fact, he has been in a good mood over the past few months. "A large group of carriages just passed by. Is the chicken you raised slaughtered?"

"Yes, Uncle Jiu's ducks are also slaughtered today? I remember how many days will it take?" Tian Zongyuan asked. Uncle Jiu had a lot of ideas about the position of the Zongchang for the future of his sons. However, since the beginning of last year, he has no idea about this. He is busy directing his family to raise chickens, ducks, and geese to make money, just like other clan elders.

"The government was in a hurry to use feathers, so I received the goods in advance." The old man still smiled, "The leaders of the village are really worried. They cause trouble for the envoy Yuwen all day long. To prepare for war, they have to prepare many feather arrows."

"A Long, the government army is so anxious to make arrows. Could it be that the arsenal lacks arrows?" Tian Zongyuan was a little confused. He remembered that the government kept buying chickens, ducks and geese. In addition to making food for the state soldiers and the Hulin Army, plucking hair and making arrows was one of the purposes. The military weapon supervisor was busy every day, and it seemed unlikely that it would be short of arrows.

"It is naturally impossible to do it now. The messenger often says that you are prepared for any trouble. It is definitely right to prepare more. Besides, the mountain barbarians are not honest. The government army should teach them a lesson until they are honest. The time for using troops cannot be short, and Jiangnan has to move troops at any time, so they have to prepare more feather arrows." Tian Yilong explained.

Tian Zongyuan said that the mountains stretched for countless miles. If the camp leaders hid in the deep mountains, the government army would probably have a headache. The dynasty has changed over hundreds of years, and there have been countless governors and generals who have just repelled the other party and could not cure the root cause.

"There are all people here, so I won't hide it." Tian Yilong said with a smile, "The envoy asked me if I had a village leader whom I knew, and then I would take the official army to chase the mountain and chase the mountain. My father was already contacting people, but he wanted to ask Uncle Ninth to come forward."

"You and the bastards from those villages are hunting all day long. Are you not very familiar with me? You have to work hard to get the ninth uncle?" Tian Zongyuan asked.

"They can't speak for this kind of thing. They have to ask Uncle Jiu to come forward and talk about the interests of those uncles. After all, my father is at most peers with them." Tian Yilong praised Uncle Jiu for a little.

"Of course, Yuwen envoy wants to help, but this kind of thing... there must be an explanation, right?" The old man twisted his beard and pondered. Tian Yilong used his trump card when he saw this: "My nephew knows, the envoy said that he didn't know what happened in the warehouse. Suddenly some salt came out..."
