"Jia Wenhe, I asked you to engage in horse politics for four years. How did you do it?" Chen Xi answered the question and asked Jia Xu directly, "Don't tell me that there has been no results in the past four years!"
"This year we will be able to produce 60,000 war horses." Jia Xu closed his notebook and said slowly. He knew that if he pulled it, it would affect him. Whoever goes to the state-owned ranch is now under his jurisdiction.
When I took over the business the year before last, I thought it was a trivial matter, but by the end of last year I almost understood that it was related to Chen Xi's overall strategy.
"Sixty thousand war horses?" Even Liu Bei was shocked this time. This is a slaughter, which means that this is a situation that will not damage the size of the ranch. Similarly, to go further, it means that it can still be released in the next year.
War horses of the same size.
"Yes, 60,000 war horses and 110,000 slave horses." Jia Xu nodded and said, "I have been engaged in horse administration for the past three years, but I have not shipped any horses. It was not until the establishment of a super large national ranch last year that I was finally able to sell horses.
A batch is ready.”
"Okay, in the first three years we didn't even have well-bred horses. The first three years were just for you to accumulate stallions." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "The northern grassland is the most suitable pasture."
"However, even if there were well-bred horses at that time, it would not be possible to invest manpower and material resources on a large scale like now. We did not have such a deep foundation at the time." Jia Xu said with a touch of solemnity. The more he knew, the better he became.
I can feel how scary Chen Xi is.
Chen Xi is not good at military strategy and command, but Chen Xi's talent in internal affairs is enough to make up for all his shortcomings. Isn't it all about logistics? Chen Xi's logistics is so strong that Zhang Liang and Xiao He combined are far inferior to the current Chen Xi.
This is so terrifying and despairing.
"You have to eat your meals one bite at a time. Although we have made plans early on, it is really good to be able to advance step by step. Sixty thousand war horses and one hundred and ten thousand slave horses are just barely enough. Just make do and see." Chen Xi touched.
He touched his chin and said, if Liu Bei was praised at this level, Liu Bei would probably be ecstatic, but if Chen Xi was praised, Chen Xi would be hesitant.
Not to mention anything else, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty died, one of the legacies left to Emperor Wu was the official horse farm with 400,000 war horses. As for the more ruthless Tang Dynasty later, at its peak, the official horse farm had 7 war horses.
One hundred thousand!
Jia Xu now says that he can produce 60,000 war horses and 110,000 slave horses. Sorry, the Han and Tang Dynasties at their peak said that we are not considered slave horses.
"..." Jia Xu was indifferent and didn't want to talk to Chen Xi. Sixty thousand war horses was really a big number. This level meant that the official racecourse had about two hundred thousand horses. This number seemed to Jia Xu
It's already very good to come.
Li You and Lu Su had completely stopped writing at this time. They listened carefully to what Jia Xu and Chen Xi said. Although they knew that there was such a thing, it was not their responsibility after all. It was indeed unexpected to do such a big thing.
He understood the reasons and Lu Su’s expectations.
"By the way, I have moved my breeding industry that has been preserved since the Taishan era to the northern pasture. The significance of scale is greater than you think." Chen Xi said with a slight smile.
When Lu Su heard this, he turned his head and looked at Li You and Jia Xu. Jia Xu nodded directly, because all these breeding industries are now linked to the state-owned ranch under Jia Xu's responsibility. As for Li You, he nodded after a while.
, because he remembered that such a thing did happen at the beginning of last year.
"I have found eleven aristocratic families to manage. As for how big the scale will be, Jia Wenhe should know best." Chen Xi said with a smile when he saw Lu Su and Li You starting to make eye contact.
"You can rest assured that Zichuan may intend to destroy the price of meat as well." Jia Xu said with a little helplessness, as if there was a smile on his face. When Chen Xi divided the work among his subordinates and handed over the national ranch to Jia Xu, Jia Xu said
Xu still didn't understand it, but I understood it after taking over last year.
"Crushed?" Li You looked at Jia Xu in confusion and said, while Chen Xi smiled and said nothing.
In later generations of large-scale breeding, due to problems such as labor costs, developed countries can even make meat prices lower than vegetable prices. Of course, a big reason for this is the country's stabilization of labor costs.
Although Chen Xi cannot reach this level, it is still very easy to beat the current meat price that is dozens of times the price of food. Scale can greatly reduce costs in many cases.
Having never touched the northern grassland before, Chen Xi could not do this. He could only keep silently saving up to prepare for the capture of the northern grassland. After capturing the northern grassland at the end of the year before last, Chen Xi's logistics puzzle
Got another big piece.
Therefore, at the beginning of last year, Chen Xi began to use various methods to exchange the northern Xinjiang grasslands that they did not want from Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and then spread the backhand that he had prepared for four years to all over the grasslands. What he will do next
Just waiting for a good harvest.
To be more honest, after four years of accumulation, after finding a suitable pasture, it suddenly started to explode, and the first one to explode was the rabbit!
Chen Xi spent almost five years, sending free seedlings and engaging in large-scale breeding at home. Over the past five years, he successfully cultivated a group of professionals who are truly proficient in various types of breeding industries.
Last year, Chen Xi sent all these people to Northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop. No matter how well you raised them, he must have registered them all in the past five years, and they are waiting for Northern Xinjiang to be pacified.
With no shortage of large-scale manpower, no shortage of technical personnel, no shortage of seedlings, no restrictions on the scale of breeding farms, and the country's strong support from behind, there is no doubt that Chen Xi has brought the animal husbandry industry to its current level in one breath
The highest degree.
Even the scale is so large that it requires an independent veteran to keep an eye on it. In this case, Chen Xi can stabilize the meat price to a level that he can accept in up to three years.
Of course, first of all, I need to thank Cookie. Without him to increase grain production, even if Chen Xi wanted to build a large ranch now, he would not be able to do it so quickly without enough refined grains. Although the ranch is very good, it needs to be done quickly.
For farming, just eating grass is not enough.
"In three years at most, I will be able to lower the price of meat to about ten times the price of grain." Chen Xi said with some pride, "I have always made plans and then acted. What's more, I have been doing logistics for so many years.
There shouldn’t have been any problems yet.”
"What is the limit that the northern Xinjiang ranch can bear?" Lu Su and Li You said almost at the same time. After speaking, they both couldn't help but glance at each other.
Chen Xi nodded slightly, and then said, "You are indeed getting better and better, and you noticed this instantly. Well, according to the information I asked people to collect, and the pasture cultivation that I asked Han Mou to study, the North Xinjiang Ranch
The carrying limit is 30 million cattle."
"Pfft!" Liu Ye and Liu Bei, who were drinking tea and listening to Chen Xi and Li You's argument, spat out directly, while everyone else looked at Chen Xi in shock. How could this be possible!
"It's not a joke." Chen Xi said, wagging his index finger.
Counting from Inner Mongolia, the entire Mongolian grassland is about 1.5 million square kilometers. At this time, it has not been desertified due to overgrazing. If grass is planted for cattle raising, even if there are seasonal and regional factors, it will not have any impact on the northern Xinjiang grassland.
Thirty million cattle will have no problem in any case of damage.
As for where this data came from, Chen Xi actually has an accurate source, and even if there is no source, he can calculate such a data just by using the limit of the soil's bearing capacity. After all, there will only be Outer Mongolia in later generations, with a population of three million and large livestock.
The number of people in stock exceeds 70 million, which is only half the size of the grassland currently held by Chen Xi.
Although due to the quality of forage, refined grain additives, etc., it is absolutely impossible for Chen Xi to reach the level of Mongolia in later generations, but under the grassland twice the size of the other party, only one-fifth of the limit is required. As long as it is fully rolled out, it is completely
No problem.
Listening to Chen Xi's detailed explanation, everyone present gradually understood where such a terrible data came from, and why Chen Xi was so casual. With the completion of the Northern Xinjiang pasture, I am afraid that the agricultural output will eventually decline.
It may not be higher than animal husbandry.
After all, in order to save trouble, Chen Xi went straight to the state-operated livestock industry. In order to save trouble, Chen Xi directly enclosed the land and built a national ranch in Northern Xinjiang, which had never been wanted. Although only part of it has been built now, it is obvious that
, according to Chen Xi’s usual routine over the years, he must completely encircle the entire northern Xinjiang prairie.
In this case, the tax revenue that agriculture can provide to the country is not at all as high as the output value of the country's large ranches, because the latter is not a tax directly. Even the land and the flesh in the latter belong to the country.
The aristocratic family in the field has some rights and interests in it.
"So, after the snowball starts rolling, there will be no need for others to take care of it, and it will continue to grow on its own. I never thought that I would not be able to support a mere hundred thousand soldiers!" Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "What I am in charge of
The logistics will never collapse because of my actions."
"How many years will it take to complete the construction of the national ranch?" Lu Su opened his notepad, selected a few pages at the back, and casually recorded important matters in the space used to record important matters. He asked while recording, so
They didn't even notify him of big things.
"Well, my five-year plan includes animal husbandry. I remember that I gave a detailed explanation at that time." Chen Xi said puzzledly. He can guarantee that he definitely gave a very detailed explanation about this part.
Li You pressed his temples and didn't want to speak after hearing this. Regarding the five-year plan, they all listened to their respective responsibilities and then planned in detail to ensure that it was correct. However, if I want to say it, it seems that there is really a part of animal husbandry, but it seems to be...
Li You glared at Jia Xu who was standing aside, but Jia Xu was immersed in writing and drawing as if nothing had happened.
