The spring light brings warmth and makes people feel slightly fuzzy.
After returning home, Zuo Mengeng completely turned into a man who gave up.
Lying lazily under the locust tree, Zuo Xuanyan was allowed to crawl up and down on her chest.
Zhui Xue lay beside his head, bathing in the sunshine and unwilling to wake up.
Xia Wanchun had no one to care for him and went around having fun. He caught a grasshopper from somewhere and gave it to Zuo Xuanyan to see.
The two children immediately started screaming, as if they had discovered a new world.
It is a peaceful time.
Even though a visitor came, Zuo Mengeng was not allowed to move at all.
"Haha, our commander-in-chief is really laid-back."
Zuo Mengeng opened his eyes and saw Zhang Keda and Zuo Fu coming hand in hand.
Behind them was a young man in military uniform. He paused every step and kept adjusting his clothes. He was very excited and nervous.
"Liang Fa, deputy director of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of Intelligence, reported to the commander-in-chief."
Zuo Mengeng sat up and said gently: "This is at home, not in the military. Please be more casual. I'm holding the child, so I can't give you a gift in return. Please forgive me."
Liang Fa shook his hands vigorously.
"It is an honor for me to meet the commander-in-chief."
Zuo Mengeng ordered people to move tables and chairs, and asked the nanny to pick up Zuo Xuanyan, and Xia Wanchun left.
A few people started chatting under the locust tree.
“What is the situation on Sakhalin today?”
Liang Fa quickly sat upright and began to gather his words.
Zuo Mengeng was very dissatisfied.
"Didn't I tell you to relax? This is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den."
Liang Fa blushed and quickly introduced the situation in the north.
In April last year, Zhang Keda and Bai Dasheng led a huge fleet to travel again.
Their first stop was Jeju Island.
This large island on the border of North Korea has now become a place outside the world.
The Central Committee of North Korea is still unaware of all the changes here.
Seeing thousands of tall and handsome war horses being put down, Shen Daoxun and Li Chong both stared straight in the eyes.
"This...is this a Pegasus?"
"There is such a majestic war horse in the world! Using this horse as a weapon in battle, it would be easy to conquer the world."
The two North Korean officials trapped on an isolated island obviously didn't know much, and they were all shocked when faced with war horses plundered from all over the world.
The people responsible for these war horses came from both systems.
One is Yu Binwang, deputy director of the Livestock Management Department of the General Logistics Department, and the other is Huang Zaisheng, deputy section chief of the Animal Husbandry Section of the Ministry of Agriculture.
"Prefect Shen, have the pastures here been prepared?"
Shen Daoxun said hurriedly: "Two angels, please rest assured, the Jeju Ranch is in our hands."
Shen Daoxun called someone over and introduced him to them.
"This is Xu Qian, the newly appointed priest. Please rest assured, angel, this is one of our own. We will listen to the angel's instructions from now on."
The man walked forward quickly and bowed to the end, very humble.
"Xu Qian pays homage to the angel of heaven."
When King Yu Bin and Huang Zaisheng saw that he was in his forties, he was gentle and gentle in manners, and he spoke Chinese well, they had a good impression of him.
"Xu Diansheng, we must cooperate sincerely from now on."
Neither of them knew that Xu Qian actually had a lot of background.
Xu Qian's father was Xu Jun, a famous doctor in the Joseon Dynasty, who was also a member of the Western Communist Party.
This time Shandong plotted to get a ranch on Jeju Island. The Western Party made some moves and cleverly used party struggles to relegate Xu Qian to Jeju, successfully taking control of the ranch.
However, although the ranch was obtained, the actual situation made Yu Binwang and Huang Zaisheng frown.
"This place has been abandoned and must be cultivated again. Otherwise, no matter how good the horses are, they will not be able to raise them."
Accompanied by Xu Qian, the two of them carefully inspected the ranch and found that the situation was not optimistic.
Since the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, this place has not been well operated for decades.
Not only are the people who raise horses and herd them unskilled and careless, but even the forage is of low quality and cannot be used.
Huang Zaishan casually pulled a piece of grass from the ground, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
The grass tasted very dry, and even if he tried his best to chew it, he couldn't get much juice out of it. It also tasted extremely bitter, and the roots and leaves were dry and hard, making him unable to chew it.
"New pasture must be transplanted here."
Xu Qian was shocked when he heard his plan.
"When it comes to grazing, isn't it just a matter of following the grass? Can this pasture be grown like rice and wheat?"
Huang Zaisheng smiled.
"Rice and wheat are plants, and pasture is also a plant. Since rice and wheat can be cultivated and grown, why can't pasture?"
He asked his subordinates to come over and opened a box, which was full of grass seeds.
"Xu Diansheng, I'll give you ten days to organize the people here and level all the grass."
Xu Qian was numb.
He pointed at the endless pasture with dumbfounded eyes.
"Lord Angel, there are not enough manpower here!"
Huang Zaisheng has black lines all over his head.
"Of course it's not enough to just pull weeds by hand, but you can set fire to start a prairie fire. Haven't you heard that wildfires can't be burned out, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows?"
Xu Qian suddenly realized it and quickly organized people to work.
In the next few days, the entire Jeju Island was shrouded in thick smoke, and people were so choked that they did not dare to go out.
But the effect is also impressive.
Large areas of pasture were set on fire and turned into dry land.
After two rounds of rain, Huang Zaisheng invited the local garrison to come over and help.
Thousands of people worked together to plow the pastures carefully, and the ashes of burned vegetation were buried under the soil and turned into fertile nutrients.
Then the people he brought began to plant new grass species on this land.
These grass species are alfalfa, known as the "King of Forage".
Alfalfa has been used as pasture in China for more than 2,000 years, and people have long been aware of its value.
After the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, special departments were set up to study animal husbandry.
And pasture is the top priority.
After years of research and comparison, Huang Zaisheng and others agreed that alfalfa is the best pasture species.
Before coming to Jeju Island, he had read relevant information and was mentally prepared for the pastures here, so he brought alfalfa grass seeds with him.
Now it has really come in handy, without delaying the construction of the ranch.
In addition to planting new types of grass, Huang Zaisheng also assigned tasks to King Yu Bin.
"In addition to enough pasture, the raising of war horses also requires a large amount of leguminous feed. Obviously we don't have it here. We need to transport it from Shandong. Soybeans, rice and eggs will be available in the future, and they are indispensable."
King Yu Bin was sent here to assist Huang Zaisheng.
After receiving the mission, he immediately organized a fleet to return to Shandong and transport everything needed here one by one.
In addition to these necessary material preparations, Huang Zaisheng and Yu Binwang were also very dissatisfied with the original operation method of Jeju Island Ranch.
North Korea's political system and official system were basically learned from the Ming Dynasty, so the management of animal husbandry also had the same problems.
The officials are ignorant and only care about making money. The people below are not interested in doing anything if they don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. They even engage in cheating and cheating. Under such reckless behavior, the original management system of the ranch has long been rotten.
Huang Zaisheng discussed with King Yu Bin and decided to reform the ranch.
