Chapter 287 The big farmer of Datang
This land was originally intended to be used for construction of a new house in the future, but now it seems that it can only be used for breeding.
It is the lower vent of the village, and it is separated by the back mountain, which basically does not affect the residents' residence.
Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Renovate this land and change it into a breeding land, and transfer all the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs there to raise them."
Li Yifu asked curiously: "County Marquis, these poultry and livestock are just enough to raise. Does this land need such a large amount of land?"
"Need." Li Zheng looked up at the sky and counted, and said, "I'll do it. If the three heavenly princesses will bring more poultry to Jingyang."
Li Yifu brought several strong men from the village, and Li Zheng and others came to the back mountain of the village.
This is the other end of the village, and it was not originally a place in Jingyang County.
However, after Li Shimin granted the land, the land in Jingyang County expanded a lot.
Not far away is Niujia Village, which used to be Niu Jinda's fiefdom.
Li Zheng said with some concern: "You said we are building a farm here, and the people in Niujia Village should not come to steal poultry."
"This county marquis can rest assured." Li Yifu said confidently: "Don't look at the fact that there are so many houses in Niujia Village, now only one family lives there in Niujia Village, and that family is still a tenant from General Niu's family."
The uncles and uncles in the village surrounded this area into a fence together. With the experience of building a house before, it is naturally no problem to build a breeding farm now.
The farm does not need to be very good at doing it. Build a greenhouse that can hold all the animals, just keep it wind and rainproof.
The fenced area can be used to stock poultry on weekdays.
There is still a big difference between hundreds of pigs and two thousand pigs. There are a lot of pig manure alone that needs to be cleaned up in a day.
This is simply an order of magnitude, and the first thing is to solve the problem of feces.
Pig's excrement should not be dumped at will, but it must be properly treated.
If you pour it randomly, the soil in the whole place will be damaged, and even more serious it will affect the villagers' daily life.
Pig manure is also a good thing, it can be used as fertilizer or as biogas.
Li Yifu didn't feel that way, and whispered to Xu Jingzong who was watching the fun: "Old Xu."
"What's wrong?" Xu Jingzong ate the tomato and handed it to Li Yi Mansion one. "The tomatoes in the fields have been ripe recently. Do you want to eat one?"
Li Yifu had no appetite and whispered: "It would be fine if you say that the county marquis raises so many animals, why do you have to store so much manure? I remember that our county marquis does not have this preference."
Xu Jingzong also whispered: "Do you know what a master is?"
Li Yifu said in confusion: "You think the county marquis' approach makes other reasons."
Xu Jingzong sighed, "A master is, we will never understand what masters do. If you understand, do you think the county marquis is still tall?"
Li Yi's mansion was thinking, "The county marquis also said that the princes who often come to proclaim the imperial edict in the palace would bring thousands of pigs and thousands of chickens to Jingyang."
As expected, Wang Ding sent thousands of sows and hens to Jingyang the next day, and brought hundreds of kilograms of iron.
Let Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong count these animals and poultry.
We also need to confirm whether it is a hen or a sow.
Wang Ding said with a grievance: "Does the county marquis suspect that the old slave has given enough?"
"I'm not sure about doing things in the palace." Li Zheng smiled and said to Wang Ding: "Does Eunuch Wang eat tomatoes?"
Wang Ding bit off the tomato and seemed to be venting his anger, "Monkey King, the sows and poultry have been delivered. I believe the Marquis of 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 spoil the old slave."
"No, no." Li Zheng waved his hands repeatedly, "In less than six months, I can create the triangular thorn."
"Six months?" Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "Will it be too long?"
"Five months, no more." Li Zheng said quickly.
"Five months are too long." Wang Ding still looked anxious.
"Eunuch Wang, this is not a trivial matter to build weapons, it requires the right time, place, and people."
"The right time, place, and people..." Wang Ding was amused and crying, "Why do I think the county marquis is still making excuses? How can I explain to Your Majesty in this way?"
"Four months." Li Zheng reduced his life by another month.
This Li Zheng is really too difficult to deal with. He still delays the price of giving so many animals and poultry.
Wang Ding hurriedly said: "I'm not hiding the county marquis. In order to satisfy the poultry of the county marquis, many villages near Chang'an have been emptied and have spent a lot of money. I hope the county marquis will not be more aggressive, three months! Three months cannot be more."
"Okay, then it's three months." Li Zheng agreed readily.
Wang Ding was stunned, "Why did the old slave feel like he was put on by the county marquis?"
"This is not so fast to make weapons. There are many things that need to be prepared. Magical weapons are generally not so easy to come out."
"That's right." Wang Ding nodded, "It's getting late, and the old slave will follow you back to serve His Majesty. I hope the county marquis can speed up the forging of weapons."
"It's all right, Eunuch Wang walks slowly."
"No need to send it." Wang Ding left with the man.
After Li Yi's mansion finished counting, he came with a booklet, "The county marquis, there is no mistake, the number is just right."
Li Zheng looked back at the breeding farm in front of him. This was the only household in the Tang Dynasty.
The breeding industry in Datang was not very good. Many families were free-range. Even if there was pork, it was still eaten by ordinary people.
Besides, people in this era don’t like to eat pork very much.
The breeding industry is a very important industry, and meat is an indispensable food for people in daily life.
The development of the breeding industry is an indispensable part. Of course, people in the Central Plains have inherent habits of breeding, but there have never been large-scale breeding farmers.
Like agriculture, aquaculture is two important pillars of development.
Like the Japanese, they live by sea and do not flourish in agriculture. They eat some salted fish and eat them as filling their stomachs.
It’s not unreasonable to not grow tall. Before Japan entered industry in later generations, the Japanese aristocrats did not allow the people to eat meat under the prosperous Japanese situation of Buddhism.
This also led to the Japanese getting shorter and shorter.
It is still a waste for the people in the village to build a special breeding farm with twenty acres.
Many villagers were watching, and many sows and hens were given to the court. I think that in the future, children in Jingyang County will not have to worry about not having meat to eat.
There is no need to be petty 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 still very happy to see so many hens and sows.
Li Shimin received Wang Ding's report. Although he didn't know why Li Zheng wanted such a sow and hen, he was just some poultry. Can Li Zheng still make money with these poultry?
Li Shimin said calmly: "If Li Zheng can't come up with a new weapon in three months, he will take it into Dali Temple."
Wang Ding bowed and responded, "Here."
