Chapter 92 Ranch
After successfully capturing the migrating beasts, Milanheim became very busy. Fortunately, there were witches who helped, otherwise relying solely on the town manager would have become a mess.
Although Su Ming was preparing to set up a textile workshop, he had to put it aside due to the shortage of manpower. However, he had already made plans and started again after the merchants sent the population.
After temporarily placing cattle and sheep around the town, the next work was even more cumbersome. Milanheim just prepared simple livestock pens around the town, just for temporary use. Now the cattle and sheep need to be transferred to other places as soon as possible.
"We must get these herds away quickly!" Su Ming said in the morning, awakening in the air surrounding the smell of cow dung.
In just four or five days, Milanheim was surrounded by feces, and tens of thousands of livestock excreted a day weighed several tons of feces. Because time was tight, there was not enough manpower to clean it up. After a few days, the city was filled with the smell of cow dung. Su Ming, who had become accustomed to the clean and tidy environment, was very uncomfortable, and the other witches were also very dissatisfied.
In addition to this odor, a large number of livestock will also affect the cleaning of the water source here, which is too close to the water source. If the water source is contaminated, it will take a long time to wait until the water source becomes clean again.
"Kain, has the newly built livestock pen been completed?" Su Ming asked directly.
"Teacher, the three fastest livestock pens have been completed by 80%. It can be completed by noon today, and the remaining livestock pens have also completed by about 40%.
"Then start to transfer livestock outside the town!" Su Ming said directly: "Transfer to the three livestock pens first, and the other livestock pens will also hurry up and build them."
"Yes, I'll inform them now!" Kane said.
Each of the three livestock pens can raise 5,000 cattle and sheep in captivity. It is located northwest of Milanheim, downstream of the river. There is abundant water and grass, and the environment is very good. Just the surrounding grassland can satisfy the appetite of most cattle and sheep, which can save a lot of food.
Su Ming built eight ranches here, and it is expected that about 30,000 cattle and sheep can be raised. Some of the remaining cattle and sheep are raised in Milanheim, and the other part is sent to the southwest of Milanheim.
There is also a pasture there. Although it is not as large as the grassland in the northwest and abundant water and grass, it is still more than enough to raise more than 10,000 cattle and sheep. Moreover, this place is close to Cana City, and cattle and sheep sold to Cana City and other cities are allocated from here.
Except for some of the cattle and sheep raised in Milanheim, the rest are oxen and cattle and horses that transport heavy objects. The temporary pastures outside the town will be gradually demolished and a new pasture will be established.
The establishment of a pasture does not require a pasture. There are many necessary facilities, such as clean water sources. An artificial canal is needed to be dug in the pasture to lead a water source from the river to flow through the pasture.
At the same time, there are enough cattle sheds to be built in the pasture, which are for the cattle to rest at night and hide from rain and snow. At the same time, manpower is required to be arranged to clean and collect feces in the pasture.
Because there are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, Su Ming plans to build a farm fertilizer production base, collect the feces produced by these cattle and sheep and transport them here to make them into farm fertilizer.
Although Su Ming would allocate a large amount of land to the poor, even so, he would retain a large amount of arable land in his hands, and this manure was mainly for his land use.
With Su Ming's order, cattle and sheep outside the city began to go to the northwest ranch in batches. In order to prevent the process of transporting cattle and sheep from becoming confused, Su Ming sent some feces from flying dragons. The feces from flying dragons have a deterrent effect on most animals.
With the feces of flying dragons, these cattle and sheep will become very honest and will not resist. There is no need to worry about the wild bison and yellow sheep running around during the transportation process.
Soon a team of cattle and sheep began to leave Milanheim, and as a large number of cattle and sheep left, Milanheim was finally not as crowded as before.
Just as a large number of cattle and sheep were transferred to the newly built ranch, a large number of caravans slowly arrived in Milanheim. The caravan had a size of more than fifty carriages, larger than all previous caravans.
In addition to the carriage, there was also a huge team of more than 1,500 people. This caravan was organized by Jennifer after hearing that Milanheim had captured the migratory beasts.
Fortunately, he was going to transport supplies to Milanheim. After receiving the news, Jennifer immediately increased the number of purchases. Finally, he collected a large amount of supplies in three days and recruited a large number of people from the lower city.
Fortunately, Kana City is a large city with a population of more than 100,000 people, and its business is booming, otherwise it would not be possible to collect so many supplies in a short period of time. Moreover, even Kana City has significantly increased due to Jennifer's purchase prices.
The arrival of this batch of supplies finally solved Milanheim's urgent need. After cleaning up and dealing with personal hygiene, the 1,500 poor people were immediately distributed.
With these 1,500 poor people, Milanheim's manpower gap has finally been alleviated one or two.
In addition to these workers, thirty of the 50 carriages sent by Jennifer were loaded with grain, and most of them were mixed grains such as soybeans and black beans, which were prepared for the cattle and sheep.
Thirty carriages, each carriage loaded about 2,000 kilograms of grain, a total of 60,000 kilograms of grain, and combined with the pasture, was enough for these tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to eat for a while.
In the square, more than 1,500 poor people were listening to town officials preaching various policies in Milanheim, especially after knowing that they would get houses and cultivated land when they worked hard. Although they had heard some rumors before they came again, most of them listened to these as rumors.
Unexpectedly, after coming to Milanheim, I realized that this seemed to be true. Just when these poor people were dizzy by the news, they were sent to bathe in batches. The wasteland is very prone to infectious diseases. There is no large-scale disease in Milanheim now. There is a big reason for Su Ming's high standards for hygiene.
After cleaning, each person will distribute two new clothes, and the old clothes before will be burned down. Looking at the new clothes on their bodies, these new poor people gradually began to believe in the preaching just now.
