Believe me, there are no missing chapters. Please vote in Sanjiang, join the group, and ask for a moderator.
Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou is still strongly supporting Liu Bei. In addition to leasing food and other supplies without repayment, he also sells them in large quantities at low prices. To be honest, the existence of Xuzhou is the real reason for Liu Bei's good life. Otherwise, the development of Taishan
The strength is relatively tight, after all, there are more than 300,000 more mouths...
Chen Xi has already started arranging people to try raising chickens and ducks, whether for meat or for the locusts that will come out every two years. Anyway, he will start with small-scale trial breeding, and then provide seeds on a large scale after success. Eight
There are almost 200,000 households with 100,000 people. If two million people are given to raise them, the locusts will probably be a disaster. I hope so.
Anyway, in Chen Xi's mind, one million chickens is only 300,000 yuan. If it fails to be spread out, no one will probably pay attention. Well, usually a few books can be sold for this price. If it succeeds, it will probably increase the number of residents.
Happiness level, eating meat is always a good thing in this era, and eating well will always cultivate Qi, and having a little Qi is better than none...
Chen Xi got started and posted a notice to find someone who was good at raising chickens. He first asked him to raise a few hundred chickens for a try. He found that they were surprisingly easy to raise. When he thought about it, it seemed that all creatures in the world had continued to grow over the past four hundred years.
It has evolved. Although its appearance has not changed much, its energy has really increased.
But it’s right to think about it. If the energy does not increase, it will probably be difficult to extract the energy from the low-energy animals and plants. After all, the basis of martial arts is to be full. If you are not full, you will not even be able to maintain your life.
If the energy is not enough, how can we refine higher-level energy and absorb it from the outside world? Are you kidding? We haven’t evolved yet. Besides, this is the ability of plants.
Since it was unexpectedly easy to raise, Chen Xi felt more at ease. There were ten chicks in one household, and four people per household were enough. If the number was less than four, it would not matter. If there were more than four, it would be calculated as four. Then a very magical scene happened.
The people in Mount Tai all live in households of four, and it is indeed easier to count heads this way.
As for the number of chicks, it was completely insufficient. Chen Xi could only use mindless methods to hatch chicks, such as a fire kang. As for what kind of temperature 40 degrees is and how to control it, that is not his own business. With so many people, there is always someone who can
It is none of Chen Xi's business to clearly distinguish the temperature and what kind of eggs can hatch chicks. There will always be people who can.
After finishing these things, Chen Xi finally understood why there were no large-scale chicken and duck farming in ancient times. The reason was too simple. There were not so many seedlings.
One million eggs that can hatch chicks is not a problem. Just collect them here and there. The problem is that an old hen can only hatch twenty or so eggs at a time, and it must be strong enough. How many old hens do you need?
It’s a big headache to think about.
Professional matters are left to professionals, but despite this, Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with strange eyes. It is not reasonable to say that Chen Xi, who comes from a noble family, understands these things, let alone this kind of technology that has a huge impact on people's livelihood.
It's only natural that you don't understand.
Chen Xi ignored the looks from his colleagues. He was already magical anyway, and he didn't care if he was even more magical. However, what Chen Xi was curious about was that when there were more people, some super generals would appear, such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Ma.
When the number increases, some monsters wearing horse skin will appear, such as red rabbits, such as Yezhao jade lions, and what about chickens? Chen Xi is very interested, and he wonders if he can also cultivate a super chicken...
Thinking about a super chicken with internal energy that is separated from the body, it seems quite interesting. With this idea, Chen Xi raised all the chickens that were slightly bigger than his fist and had full feathers. He didn't say not to eat them anyway.
Chen Xi knew very well the thinking of these people. The poor Taishan people had finally managed to have food on the table. Now that they see a bright future right in front of them, they will definitely not lose their hope.
As for the extra chickens, Chen Xi threw them all to the chicken-raising expert who was recruited by the instructions. Now he has become a servant of the Chen family. Chen Xi kicked the guy out of the city and asked him to raise the chickens. The feed was allocated by Taishan.
But when the time comes, all the chickens will be given to the Taishan Army, so there is no way to leave all the roosters. Chen Xi still doesn’t understand how the group of people picked away nine hens and one rooster when the chickens were only as big as fists.
.
The things that Chen Xi had started to study vigorously when he came to Taishan finally had some clues. What Chen Xi wanted, the white porcelain with flowers, did not appear. Even the white porcelain was not guaranteed to be all, but it finally came out.
A few test items, and they were asked to study burning glass. After burning for so long, several sets of cups came out, and they were all colorful. The only transparent cup was full of cracks. Fortunately, it didn't leak, and it was barely usable.
But even so, Liu Bei called it an ingenious work.
Well, since it was a work of art, Chen Xi closed the kiln without saying a word, and now it is out of print. If he is not strong enough, it is better not to produce finished products. Now he only needs to know the research direction. As for these finished products, Chen Xi took them
Three sets, just give the rest to Liu Bei.
As for the porcelain cups and porcelain pots, Chen Xi took six pure white cups, one porcelain pot, and the others all belonged to Liu Bei. As for who Liu Bei wanted to reward, it had nothing to do with Chen Xi. Anyway, this kind of sparkling light
There is nothing wrong with using these things to deceive people.
In short, these things in the hands of Chen Xi and Liu Bei are now out of print. Whether they are used to contact princes or deepen friendship, they are first-class treasures. At least Liu Bei thinks so, so Liu Bei endured the pain the next day.
The numerous cracks in the transparent glass that he regarded as a work of art was given to Chen Xi...
Chen Xi took the glass under the envious looks of Lu Su and others. He felt that it would be shabby to take it back to drink water, so he could just find a place to put it on. In the past, when there was abundant material, this kind of glass should have been thrown away.
To dare to bring out something so badly made, the manufacturer’s shame is probably as shameful as a city wall.
As for the other glasses and porcelain, Liu Bei chose the best set and had it sent to Chang'an quickly, and the rest was given to Kong Rong and Tao Qian. It was more practical for Gongsun Bogui to send grain and grass...
Liu Bei was already wondering why Hua Xiong hadn't come back yet. As for what happened, Liu Bei didn't believe it at all. Not to mention Hua Xiong's own strength, the four thousand elite men under Hua Xiong looked like crazy to Liu Bei. A big battle would not be enough.
Who can dare to mess with this kind of army when they can still fight as if nothing happened after 30% of their strength? And as long as the army is a magical group, as long as the organization is established and a little training is done, it can maintain the bloodiness and combat effectiveness of the previous organization.
However, in view of Chen Xi's usual precautions, Liu Bei did not ask. At least Chen Xi had not harmed him. There might have been some delays. Liu Bei comforted himself. In fact, he had never thought that Hua Xiong was currently suppressing bandits in Yongzhou.
