"Do you know that Long Live can only be used on the emperor? It is arrogant to use it on King Jianning!?" Cui Tao looked at the five brothers who developed the hot air balloon and was furious.
The five Wan Xiangjun brothers who made the hot air balloon were classmates in the university club. After entering the game, they decided to build a big one and develop the first aircraft in the world of Datang Fengyun!
Flying into the sky has always been a dream of mankind, but it is not that easy to build an aircraft in the real world.
But it's different in Datang Fengyun. There is no air traffic control in the sky here. You can fly at will even if you build a plane.
However, it is still too difficult to build an airplane. The easiest way to fly is to build a hot air balloon.
The five brothers first worked as cattle and horses on the construction site in Qinchuan for a month, and then made some money using their lantern-tying skills in Shazhou, and finally scraped together the start-up capital for making hot-air balloons.
Wan Xiangjun chose to go to Zhangye, where furs are relatively cheap. The entire hot air balloon was sewn together with animal skins. This material is the most durable elastic material that the five brothers can think of.
Five people have been tinkering for a long time in a workshop outside the city, and finally made it to the sky today.
Cui Tao looked at these five guys helplessly, and became even more angry when he saw the shining purple titles above their heads.
"Sky Explorer"! This is the achievement reward received by five people. This is the only epic title prepared for the first player to create an aircraft.
[Complete mankind’s thousand-year dream of flying into the sky! “Baigong” player Wang Xiangjun and others have completed the game achievement—Flying Person!]
[Achievement reward: Baigong professional experience reward!]
[Achievement reward: The only epic title-Sky Explorer, special forum medal.]
Seeing that the five people did not pay attention to his admonishment and were still immersed in the excitement of completing their achievements, Cui Tao coughed and said:
"Yu Chixin wants to order two hot air balloons from you, can you do it?"
When Wan Xiangjun heard that there was an order, he immediately said: "Okay, okay, when will Boss Yuchi want it? We can make 007 for him every week!"
Yuchi Xin is stationed in Zhangye, and since he is a top player among the generals, Wan Xiangjun is naturally willing to join forces with him.
Not to mention that if they develop other projects in the future, they may even seek investment from the military.
Cui Tao said: "The main reason is that your hot air balloon takes off too slowly. Yu Chixin needs a hot air balloon that can take off quickly."
A large army is fighting, and according to the speed at which Wang Xiangjun and his hot air balloon can take off, it may not be able to rise even after the battle is over.
When Wan Xiangjun heard that the customer had concerns, he immediately said: "This is a small problem. In order to bring the banner up this time, we made the hot air balloon a little bigger. If it is only used for military reconnaissance, we can make it smaller quickly."
Can take off."
Cui Tao was also speechless. Just to be able to hang a banner in the sky, they actually spent a lot of time and money to build such a big hot air balloon.
Cui Tao, a pragmatist, could not understand Wan Xiangjun's brain circuit, so he asked them to go to the military camp to discuss the purchase with Yuchixin.
After sending away the five-man group in the hot air balloon, Cui Tao opened Ganzhou's account book and sighed again in his heart.
Compared with Xizhou where he once ruled, Ganzhou is really poor.
But who would have thought that just a few years ago Ganzhou was the richest prefecture and county in Longyou.
Ganzhou's prosperity is due to the location of the Hexi Corridor and the high-quality fertile farmland. This unique area only needs to be cultivated well to produce a steady stream of food and fill the stomach.
The vast horse farms in Ganzhou make Ganzhou more wealthy than Longyou.
However, after Anlushan's rebellion, the entire Longyou was affected. Ganzhou, which was originally prosperous, became the target of exploitation by the imperial court.
Soldiers were transferred to Guanzhong, grain and war horses were transferred to Guanzhong, and the people of Ganzhou also shouldered heavy corvee labor to deliver these supplies to the troops in Guanzhong.
A large amount of land was abandoned, coupled with the previous efforts to convert horses into mulberry trees, the governor's office in Ganzhou is now really poor.
In addition, Ganzhou also had to bear the expense of Yu Chixin's army, and Cui Tao was really about to beg for food.
While Cui Tao was struggling with how to develop Ganzhou, Zheng He finally completed the construction of a veterinary station with the help of the herdsmen at Shandan Racecourse.
Zheng He looked at the wooden livestock shed. While he was breeding war horses, Zheng He was planning to start with milk to revitalize Ganzhou's animal husbandry industry!
Zheng He walked into a dairy shed. Both the Battle of Baowen Mountain and the Battle of Jinshan allowed the Tang army to capture a large number of livestock.
Now King Jianning has abolished the system of dividing the spoils of war among soldiers, and instead issued a monthly salary. He also delineated the grades of soldiers and determined their monthly salary.
Veterans who fought bravely in battle can receive a salary higher than that of other soldiers even if they are not promoted to generals.
In addition, if a soldier is injured, he can still receive months of pension after retirement.
If a soldier dies in battle, a pension will be paid to his family.
When this order was first issued, the soldiers had a lot of trouble, but after the monthly salary was released, soldiers who fought bravely could get more salary. If there was no war, they could get money as long as they trained. The soldiers quickly
Just call it delicious.
Moreover, disability and death in battle can be compensated, which also allows soldiers to have less worries. Isn’t it just for their families that they serve as soldiers?
Therefore, the livestock from the two wars were not distributed to soldiers as before, but soldiers participating in the war could buy livestock at low prices, and those who really couldn't afford it could advance their salary to buy them.
The remaining animals were brought to Shandan Racecourse by Cui Tao.
The cows in the dairy shed are all carefully selected by Zheng He.
Modern dairy cows that produce large amounts of milk are excellent breeds that have been produced through cross-breeding through hundreds of years of hard work by animal husbandry experts.
The breed in Zheng He's real laboratory was a cross between Dutch black and white cattle introduced from the Netherlands and local dairy breeds.
Now Zheng He knew that he could not get Dutch black and white cows, so he could only select better cows from local cows.
These are Zheng He's treasures, high-quality cows he selected from hundreds of cows.
The herdsmen at the racecourse also looked at Zheng He curiously. He brought a bull and said to the aboriginal assistant beside him:
"Helan, if you want to make the cow produce milk, you must first make the cow pregnant."
He Lan is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has curly hair and some Hu heritage. He has been a slave at the horse farm since he was a child. When Zheng He came, he freed all the slaves at the horse farm.
This Helan was agile and could tame any wild and untamable horse, so Zheng He also took a fancy to him.
He Lan looked at Zheng He doubtfully and said, "Superintendent, it's almost summer now, can the cows still be in estrus?"
Zheng He said: "So the first thing to do is to induce love, which is to use a bull to induce the cow to go into estrus."
Zheng He captured a cow, tied up the cow's hind hooves, and then drove the bull towards it.
After a scene that was not suitable for children, Zheng He stopped the bull in heat and said to Helan:
"The success rate of direct breeding is not high. We need to ensure the success of breeding. It is best to use artificial breeding after attracting affection."
"Artificial??" Helan felt that her outlook on life had collapsed. Can this thing be artificial?
Zheng He took out a porcelain bottle and said: "This is the stuff from the collected bulls. Now you watch me operate it and artificially inseminate the cows."
He Lan watched Zheng He's skillful operation of pouring the bull's contents into the cow. He looked at Zheng He in horror. Could this group herding supervisor be some kind of pervert?
Helan once heard that some bachelors on the grassland who could not get a wife would use animals to relieve their fatigue.
Is it possible that Lord Shepherd Superintendent Chuqun is such a person?
Helan took two steps back unconsciously, but Zheng He forced himself to finish inseminating all the cows in the cowshed.
After a busy day, Zheng He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "After the induced insemination today, we must continue to observe whether the cow is pregnant. If the cow is not pregnant after seven days, we will continue the induced insemination. Write it down and I will guide you after seven days."
Do!"
Helan said in horror: "Shall I do it?"
Zheng He said: "I have demonstrated it so many times? You still don't know how to do it?"
Helan lowered his head and could only respond hesitantly.
Soon after, rumors spread in the racecourse that the herdsman was a pervert. The herdsmen in the herdsmen all walked around after seeing Zheng He.
But what surprised Helan was that Zheng He's method actually worked. He checked the cowshed these days and found that the cows artificially inseminated by Zheng He were actually pregnant!
Hearing Helan's report, Zheng He was not surprised. As a doctoral student majoring in animal husbandry, induction of insemination was a basic skill. Zheng He followed his tutor to an internship in a dairy company when he was a graduate student. During that summer vacation, Zheng He
But thousands of cows were successfully inseminated!
Even the most senior veterinarian at that dairy farm respected and praised Zheng He as the "King of Dairy Breeders"!
Breeding grass, planting grass, and building a slaughterhouse are all what Zheng He is doing. A scientific pasture is actually more like a factory than a farm. Only by doing everything to the best can the highest yield be achieved.
.
Zheng He also opened a novice guide on building a ranch on the forum. Players started to buy ranches one after another, and Zheng He also came to provide agricultural help.
The number of animals in Shandan Ranch is gradually increasing, but manpower is becoming increasingly tight.
Zheng He kept reporting to Cui Tao every day for manpower. Cui Tao was annoyed by him and couldn't help it, and finally agreed to Zheng He's plan to recruit Qiang people to herd cattle.
There are many Qiang people living in the mountains near Zhangye. These Qiang people are good at herding. Zheng He has long been targeting these people.
However, Cui Tao also made an agreement with Zheng He not to cause unrest among the Qiang people, but to make these Qiang people come to work on the ranch willingly.
Zheng He naturally agreed, and he immediately gathered the players from Shandan Racecourse to form a recruitment team and headed towards the nearby valley where the Qiang people gathered.
