Eighty-fourth Chao Gai joined
Li Ying left, Hu Cheng was in a mess in the wind, thought for a while, and said to himself: "Why would Sanniang lead the team to Wu Song to train the shopkeeper?"
Wu Song, who was more than a hundred miles away, sneezed three times, and Chao Gai said, "Brother Erlang is also catching a cold, can he have a strong body?"
Wu Song smiled and said, "I didn't catch a cold, I couldn't sneeze. Maybe someone was talking about me."
Chao Gai said: "Brother Erlang is doing a great business, the number one on Jingdong ground."
"Brother Baozheng has gone too far. He has decided to buy the soap agent and the acquisition of the rattan weaving company." Wu Song asked.
Wu Yong said: "The shopkeeper is discussing details, and the matter of rattan is relatively complicated. It needs to be compiled according to the requirements to make it easy to sell. After the negotiation is completed, the contract will be signed."
Wu Song said: "Since that's the case, please ask Brother Baozheng to follow me to Qinghe and visit the property in my village. If you go back, you can benefit the people."
Wu Yong was busy and had many other guards, only Wu Song, Luo Ping, Li Kui, Zhang Dadan, Mao Hai and his five-membered men accompanied Chao Gai to Wujiazhuang, Qinghe County on horseback.
Chao Gai was a little uncomfortable. The road was full of flat official roads. Hundreds of people were resting on roads of all sizes with hoes, and small saplings were planted on both sides of the road.
Chao Gai said in confusion: "I'm afraid the road to rest may cost a lot of money. Lord Cheng is really capable."
"On the contrary, it costs less than a lot of money to build roads and trees. The official roads and the Yellow River embankment were the money and grains paid by the government offices, and 20,000 poor people were recruited to repair them. As for the small roads in each village, all the government offices were government offices. The county office ordered that the villages' protection officers themselves summoned the villages' men to repair them. In addition to building roads, they also built canals, ponds, and reservoirs, so that they would not be harvested in the dry season."
The most common thing in Dongping Prefecture is the police. The police in public uniforms are on duty and patrols in major traffic roads, town shops, and they are tired from coming and going. Unlike other places where they face like a dead father, the police in Dongping Prefecture serves with a smile. In addition to patrols, they also clean and sanitate occasionally, giving people the way of making a way. Although it is only a small step, it is a big step in the history of the development of the police.
Wujiazhuang, Tongda Dacheshang Headquarters, Wu Song invited Chao Gai into the living room, divided the guests and hosts to sit down, and the servants gave tea. Wu Song said, "Look, my Wujiazhuang is okay?"
Chao Gai said: "It goes without saying that it is quite prosperous. It is just a large construction site. I see that there are hundreds of buildings on the south side of the building."
"Half a year ago, the village was still cold and silent. Wu Song couldn't bear to the poor of the people, so he planned to build the Tongda Dache Store and started doing business. As for the 100 new houses in the south, the refugees were rescued, and the adults arranged to work in various workshops such as car shops, and children were studying in schools. There were also pharmacies and clinics. All my workers in my workshop could see a doctor at a low price and buy medicine. In addition, the car shop gave porridge and rice in the county town on the first and fifteenth day of the month." Wu Song said.
The more he said that Chao Gai became more anxious, and said, "Brother Erlang, please show me your pig farm, ducks and geese farm. My brother can't play with advanced things. He can only do these simple businesses. After making money, he will learn from his brothers' benevolence and righteousness to help the people."
"Okay, the kitchen is making wine and food. We'll come back after visiting and have a drink."
Wu Song took Chao Gai to the reservoir in the east of the village first. The reservoir covers an area of more than ten acres, but there is still little water storage, less than one-third. Even so, more than a dozen water trucks are irrigating the land of Nati, and the amount of water is very high during spring sowing. Not far from the shore, there is a goose house with blue bricks and red tiles, and a completely closed goose house.
Wu Song and Chao Gai put on headbands, foot covers, changed their clothes before entering.
Chao Gai said: "Why is it so troublesome?"
"You'll understand when you go in." The two of them entered, and there were two fireplaces in the goose house. The fire was burning. It was very warm inside. Tens of thousands of geese were walking back and forth leisurely. The feed was processed bean cakes, bran, and a small amount of shredded carrots. They were eating happily. The two workers were wearing work clothes and checking back and forth, and they found that there were any problems in time.
"Geese have strong resistance to disease, but the goose seedlings are weak and prone to illness. Therefore, they need to be carefully managed and carefully taken care of in the first month. Two people can manage 10,000 seedlings in this kind of goose house, but someone needs to take care of them at night, so there are many details to pay attention to. When the temperature outside is high, the geese can also go out, and then they can slowly grazing and eating grass and swimming." Wu Song introduced.
Chao Gai is a good master, so he is smart. This house cannot invest a lot of money and the labor wage is low. Except for the brooding period, the consumption of essence materials is very small, and the rest are rarely seen. In this way, a big goose has a net profit of at least forty cents. As long as you master it well, the profit is very considerable, and Chao Gai nodded constantly.
"I'll raise thousands of people when I go back for experiments," Chao Gai said.
There are five poultry farms in total, and there are also ducks in addition to big geese, so there is no need to visit them one by one. Then we went to pig farms, cattle farms, and horse farms.
Chao Gai was very optimistic today. The pig farm actually used wild boars as breeding, and the cattle farm was much smaller, with only more than thirty cows. After all, the cattle farm has just begun, and it is the spring plowing season, so the cattle are busy.
The horse farm is even more strange. There are only low grassland horses, all mares, and then tall black donkeys to make their breeds.
"Is Erlang going to use grassland horses to grow mules?" Chao Gai asked.
"Brother Chao Gai is really an expert. You can understand at a glance that although the grassland horse is short, it has strong endurance and rough feed resistance. After cultivating mules, it is more tensile. It is obedient and easy to manage. I use the most mules when driving a big cart." Wu Song said.
Chao Gai nodded frequently and said, "Cows, horses, and mules are all good things, and farming farmers cannot do without them. Several families in my village discussed it. Except for those who are wicker, everyone else is willing to breed cattle and horses. In the future, Erlang Duoduo helps."
"This is all right. In my opinion, our Song Dynasty's large animals are still not enough within fifteen years. After all, pulling carts, mills, and arable land are needed. The government still does not allow slaughtering at will. However, if the number of large animals is large in fifteen years, this policy may be liberalized." Wu Song introduced.
Chao Gai decided to go back to learn to raise geese, ducks, and cattle and horses in Wu Song. After all, these have basic foundations and are not very technical. It is easy to get started after learning, and there is no problem with sales.
In addition to these things, Chao Gai also came for another matter, the boxing and kicking competition at the first Peach Blossom Festival of Dongping Prefecture. Not to mention the prize money, it would be amazing to just say that it would be famous. Chao Gai wanted to sign up, and Wu Song naturally supported him, so he immediately registered Chao Gai's name and could compete on March 15th.
Chao Gai had great hope, hoping to get a gold cup and silver cup, and Chao Gai's fists and feet were indeed very powerful, so he could be considered a master.
Dongping Prefecture is open to the big cart. It is already late February and the Peach Blossom Festival is getting closer and closer. Wu Song dares not delay it, so he has anxious Li Ze and a group of literati. There are as many as seven or eight people. These people draw pictures on weekdays and teach guards to recognize words. They can get a good job without being tired from work. But are literati? They always want to make a name for themselves.
Wu Yong was there, and Wu Yong said: "The first batch of propaganda pictorials about the Peach Blossom Festival have been published. In addition to Dongping Prefecture, Jeju Prefecture and Quancheng Prefecture, both places have semicolons of our Tongda Dache Store, and have distributed nearly 5,000 pictorials. There will definitely be many people coming by then."
