Chapter 117 Prince Yan’s Mansion really doesn’t hide anything
As Xu Yun retreated, Guo An stretched out his waist comfortably, rested for a while, and then walked out.
He will go out to inspect the Shangzhuang Village Iron Smelting Works again, and if he has time, he will go to the farm again.
There were so many chickens, sheep, sheep and cows crowded together, and he was really worried.
Although, there are some experienced veterinarians watching over the farm every day.
…
An hour later.
Shangzhuang Village Iron Smelting Works.
"Guo Changshi, the Iron Smelting Institute has now forged 420,000 kilograms of steel, and ten giant iron-making furnaces have also been built with cement houses.
Today, each giant iron-making furnace can easily produce more than 700 kilograms of molten steel every day.
If His Highness is in a hurry to use molten steel, my servants and others can open the furnace at night, so that two furnaces of molten iron can be produced every day!"
Zhong Huo introduced him behind Guo An with eyes full of joy.
"In addition, more than a thousand kilograms of cement have been forged, and they are all piled up in the room..."
Guo An said: "You can use cement to smooth and pave the road in front of the iron smelting institute! No need to pave more, just two carriages can run in parallel!"
"yes!"
Zhong Huo responded quickly.
"In addition, every time there is sea fish in the house, hundreds of catties will be sent to you. You have shown us that we must let the craftsmen eat these sea fish to replenish their bodies.
Also, no bullying or corruption is allowed!"
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, there are villains watching here, no one will dare to cause trouble!"
"Very good. After the iron is smelted, it must be forged into weapons and armor as soon as possible. You must hurry up. If you have any needs, please tell me directly without beating around the bush!"
"Yes, Guo Changshi..."
…
farm!
In fact, it's not far from the Iron Smelting Works, at least closer than the journey from Prince Yan's Mansion to the farm.
There are six hilltops and nearly two thousand acres of wasteland, surrounded by some thick wooden fences in a large circle.
As the carriage swayed forward, Guo An could always vaguely see some cavalry passing by not far away on both sides of the carriage.
"Reporting to Guo Changshi, these cavalry are all soldiers of Yanshan Guard!"
Perhaps sensing Guo An's vigilance, the soldiers from Prince Yan's Palace guarding Guo An on both sides said.
"I see!"
Guo An nodded slightly.
After walking for a while again, the carriage came to a simple thatched gate.
"Where do you come from?"
In front of the thatched gate, two old men suddenly appeared, walking unsteadily, but with two spears in their hands.
"Guo An, the Right Chief of the Yan Palace, and Chief Guo came to inspect the farm!"
A guard quickly came up and said.
"Guo Changshi? But the Guo Changshi who suggested His Highness build a farm and go fishing in the sea?" The two old men's eyes suddenly lit up, and they raised their heads and looked at the carriage at the same time.
In the car, Guo An looked helpless.
Why can’t Prince Yan’s Mansion hide anything?
"Please come in quickly!"
The two old men quickly opened the door and allowed the carriage to enter.
As for the group of Yan Palace guards who accompanied Guo An, these old men paid no attention to them.
Not to mention that these guards look familiar to them, even if they are not familiar, there are only a dozen guards, and they will not cause any big trouble when they enter the farm!
"I have met Guo Changshi!"
When they arrived at a courtyard of the farm, an old man with a scar on his forehead limped out of the house quickly.
"Guo An has met General Ding!"
Guo An hurriedly returned the gift. This old man Ding Shang was not a simple man. He was originally a personal guard in front of Lao Zhu, and was finally sent by Lao Zhu as Zhu Di's bodyguard Qianhu. When he followed Zhu Di to the battlefield, in order to protect Zhu Di, he cut off
Got a leg.
He is Zhu Di's true confidant. He is highly respected in Prince Yan's palace and belongs to the real old people of Prince Yan's palace.
"Guo Changshi, this is really embarrassing for me!"
Although his tone was full of fear, Guo An could still hear a hint of happiness.
Later, after the two exchanged a few words, Guo An directly explained his intention.
"Old General Ding, we suggested that His Highness build the farm, but we are ashamed that we have not visited it for so long. The reason we came here this time is to see what the farm looks like!"
"Guo Changshi should come and take a look. I and these old immortals have long wanted to thank Guo Changshi. The farm saved me and hundreds of disabled old soldiers. Originally, I and these old people who were missing arms and legs were saved.
The old guy should have died on the battlefield long ago...
Although he survived in the end, he could no longer manage the fields. Returning home was a drag on his wife, children, and children. Unexpectedly, His Highness King Yan actually established a farm...
Although raising poultry and livestock is tiring, compared to farming, we can still raise chickens and ducks, and then herd cattle and sheep..."
"Yes, these old immortals like me really can't repay Guo Changshi's great kindness..."
As he talked, more and more veterans came around.
As for some of the younger and stronger soldiers, they silently bowed their hands towards Guo An from a distance, then turned around and went back to their own affairs.
"You are so polite, elders. The reason why our country is peaceful and the people are safe and the people can live and work in peace and contentment is all because of you who killed it with your own flesh and blood. In the final analysis, we owe it to you."
Guo An said quickly.
The old soldiers surrounding Guo An trembled. Although they did not say any more sensational words, they looked at Guo An with a much closer look.
"Um?"
As he walked, Guo An saw a large expanse of cultivated field, with ridge after ridge of alfalfa planted there.
Moreover, these alfalfas have grown half a foot tall.
Before Guo An could ask, Ding Shang already introduced: "According to Guo Changshi's request, more than 500 acres of alfalfa have been planted on our farm, and more than 700 acres of wasteland are being reclaimed at an accelerated pace."
Guo An said: "There are already more than 500 acres, which is almost done. There are still more than 700 acres left. You can come slowly!"
"Thank you, Guo Changshi, for worrying about it. If we can't cultivate it, we can still find those brats from Yanshan Guard to come over and cultivate it!"
Ding Shang chuckled.
"That's fine."
Matters of military-civilian cooperation are not within Guo An's jurisdiction, and it is difficult for Guo An to reply.
The group of people continued to walk forward.
"Guo Changshi, this mountain is used to raise cattle, but unfortunately there are only more than forty cows at present, including thirty-six cows, three bulls, and six calves... There are also some alfalfa seeds scattered in the forest on the mountain.
…”
"Guo Changshi, these two mountains are enclosed separately, and there are more than 1,200 piglets raised on them...Alfalfa seeds are also scattered under the forest..."
"Guo Changshi, these two mountains are also fenced, and there are more than 1,600 sheep raised on them. I heard that Guo Changshi seems to need wool. This is the time to shear these sheep. Guo Changshi needs it.
How much, just send someone to get it... As for the alfalfa seeds on the top of these two mountains, there are more alfalfa seeds..."
"Guo Changshi, there are more than 1,800 chickens raised on this mountain. In order to look after these chickens, there are fifty old brothers who are patrolling it all the time..."
"Guo Changshi, there are some fish in the middle river, but they are not as big as a palm. The sea fish tastes better..."
"Guo Changshi, this is a hundred acres of newly opened fields, close to the river, and the soil is the most fertile. We are going to wait until next spring to plant some food here..."
"Guo Changshi...Guo Changshi..."
From the moment Guo An met Ding Shang, Ding Shang never stopped talking.
At the end of the day, Guo An was a little doubtful whether Ding Shang was so good at talking that he was assigned to Zhu Di by Lao Zhu!
"Very good!"
After going back and forth, Guo An could only reply these two words.
After looking around for a while, he stopped and didn't hear any critical words from Guo An's mouth. Ding Shang was a little proud but also a little expectant.
"I wonder if Guo Changshi has any other good suggestions?"
"General Ding, with so many chickens, sheep, and hogs being raised together, are there any serious diseases?" Guo An asked.
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, we have already cleaned up the ten miles around the farm to ensure that no diseased wild animals can enter.
In addition, as soon as any sick chickens, sheep, or pigs appear, we will immediately take them to a distance and slaughter them..."
Ding Shang replied quickly.
Guo An nodded with relief. Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is indeed very effective in cutting off the chain of transmission and preventing the disease in time.
Ding Shang looked expectant again: "I wonder if Guo Changshi has any other suggestions?"
"General Ding, is it too small to have more than a thousand sheep on two hills? Can the grass on those hills keep up with the gnawing of more than 1,600 sheep?" Guo An asked.
"this……"
Ding Shang was stunned, "I can almost survive this year, but next year, it will be a bit uncertain!"
"So, circle three more hills!"
"Three seats?"
"The pigs want it too!"
"In this case, Guo Changshi still needs to report this matter to His Highness!"
"Well, we will report this matter to His Highness when we get back!"
"Thank you Guo Changshi, Guo Changshi..."
"Does General Ding think that the houses for chickens, sheep, and hogs are smaller and simpler? The weather is warm now, so it won't have any impact. However, in winter, when a heavy snow falls, some may freeze to death.
Woolen cloth!"
"Forgive me, Guo Changshi, the farm has just been built not long ago, and even the houses we are waiting for are still very thin!"
"No, these chicken pens, sheep pens, and pig pens can't be that simple!"
After looking at it for a long time, Guo An shook his head.
"Guo Changshi?..."
Ding Shang's expression changed slightly.
However, before Ding Shang could speak, Guo An said directly: "After the autumn harvest, we will send some craftsmen to re-build a few chicken pens, sheep pens, and hog pens. If possible, we will bring them to you to re-build too."
Get some big houses!”
"Thank you Guo Changshi!"
Ding Shang quickly thanked him.
Afterwards, Guo An, led by Ding Shang, carefully inspected the farm and discussed some minor issues before returning to Beiping Mansion.
By the time we arrived at Beiping Mansion, the sky had begun to get dark.
Guo An drank a cup of herbal tea and ate a plate of snacks, and then it was time to go home after work.
The next day.
After arriving at the Changshi Division, Guo An began to sit in the public room and began to be the first to write a letter to his father at home in Shunde Mansion.
Fortunately, he still had the memory of writing letters before, so there were no major mistakes.
Later, after Guo An handed the letter to Guo Erniu and asked Guo Erniu to find someone to deliver it, Guo An found Zhu Di.
Let me report the results of yesterday's round.
"Very good, I will give you instructions on this matter!"
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and asked curiously again: "I heard that you asked Xu Yun to apply black paint on a wooden board for you, or did you do it for the generals in the school?
What is this object? Can it make money?"
Prince Yan’s Mansion really doesn’t hide anything!
