Chapter 306

Under the warm sun, the soldiers of Qingzhou army worked hard.

A beautiful idyllic picture makes people's mind clear, but in the twinkling of an eye, Xiao Ming's eyes are covered with a layer of haze.

In such a savage age, for this rare peace, he can only defend it with blood and fire.

This time, the seeds sent by the king of Chu filled the cabins of five merchant ships, and he only used half of the gun money to buy the cotton seeds of these five ships. In addition to cotton, 30 guns also cost the king of Chu more than 500000 silver.

The amazing trade surplus between industrial products and agricultural products made Xiao Ming realize the huge profits brought by industrial products, which made him more determined to dump industrial products to Dayu in exchange for various raw materials.

After leaving some seeds, Xiao Ming asked the soldiers to transport the remaining seeds to other slave plantations.

At the same time, he and Niu Zhen went to an open space outside the Guanzhuang. On this land, they were building a long shed. Under the shed were red brick walls, and each wall was surrounded by a four meter long and wide grid.

"Your Highness, this is the pig farm of Qingzhou army." Niu Zhen introduces to Xiao Ming that his face is more bitter than when he planted cotton just now.

After allowing the Qingzhou army to provide grain, now the Qingzhou army has once again taken on some other important tasks - raising pigs.

Pang Yukun suddenly laughed when he saw Niu Zhen's appearance. "Your Highness, look at the length of Niu Du Du's face. Now he thinks that his soldiers are wronged."

"Isn't that right?" Niu Zhen said: "this kind of food will not be understood at the end of the day. How can the pig raising also fall on us? There is no pig raising soldier in Dayu."

Xiao Ming said, "old general, it's not right for you to think so. Is it enough for a soldier to have a full stomach? Next, let's let the soldiers eat meat. Only when they eat meat, can they train harder. Why let the army raise pigs? It's very simple. The current Qingzhou army is not the general Chongqing army. Our Qingzhou army has logistics soldiers. The logistics soldiers are responsible for raising pigs for the soldiers to eat. Otherwise, what do you want these logistics soldiers for? Isn't it enough to enlist civil servants for war? "

Niu Zhen was blocked by a series of questions from Xiao Ming, and he couldn't speak.

Now Qingzhou army conscription, part of the soldiers were directly assigned to the logistics, this is a group of soldiers who do not fight, only responsible for the army's food, procurement, transportation.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: "moreover, the Qingzhou army is going to be equipped with flint guns, and the Qingzhou army is going to take a different road. The regularization and division of labor of the army need to be done."

"Flint gun?"

Niu Zhen was shocked when he heard that the military workshop was producing a brand new weapon.

But Xiao Ming didn't tell him about it until now. Now that Xiao Ming has said it, it's time.

"It's a matter of logistics for the veteran army to come here today. In the future, farming land and raising pigs will be the business of logistics army. The main body of Qingzhou army will only be responsible for training in the future. The second is the matter of flint firing gun. It's also a matter of preparing Qingzhou army in advance."

Niu Zhen asked, "then what is this flint gun?"

"It's a powerful long-range weapon." Xiao Ming then tells Niu Zhen the specific appearance, power and application of the suifa gun.

Niu Zhen was stunned. "What your highness means is that the swords, shields, archers and spearmen will be eliminated, and the whole Qingzhou army is only left with riflemen and cavalry?"

Slowly, Xiao Ming said, "that's right. After the installation of flint guns, there is no need for these arms to exist."

"Your Highness, it's absolutely not allowed to abandon melee and only keep long-range shooting. Once ten thousand soldiers are broken through by cavalry on the grassland, the rest of the soldiers are only slaughtered. Your highness must be three or four." Niu Zhen said urgently that he could not understand Xiao Ming's decision at all.

Pang Yukun also had the same idea. He frowned tightly and wanted to say nothing.

When a new thing appears, it is bound to be obstructed by the old things. Xiao Ming already has a problem in his mind. He said, "I don't like to say it, but I just like to do it. You'll understand when the flint guns are installed in the Qingzhou army."

Niu Zhen and Pang Yukun no longer speak. Since Xiao Ming is so confident, they can only use the flint gun in his mouth.

He mentioned a few flint guns to let Niu Zhen breathe. He continued to talk about the pig farm.

There is no such saying of professional farming in Dayu. Now Xiao Ming is going to popularize modern agriculture in the fiefdom.

"Pang Changshi, what's the matter with the piglets in the pig farm?"

"back to your highness, we bought 1000 piglets from the folk, and also bought 50 adult sows and 50 adult boars. In this way, only the piglets produced by this sow will be enough for the pig farm."

Xiao Ming looks at a general behind Niu Zhen. This general is the captain of the logistics camp. His name is Chen Feng.

Waving his hand to let Chen Feng come, Xiao Ming said: "Chen Xiaowei, these piglets and adult pigs will be handed over to you. You can't be raised to death by our king."

In this era, people have no experience of large-scale breeding. While walking, Xiao Ming explained the essentials of pig breeding to Chen Feng in detail.Classical swine fever is the most feared disease in modern pig breeding. In case of this disease, the pigs in the whole pig farm will soon infect each other and die. The same is true for poultry plague.

So what he and Chen Feng said is the way to prevent classical swine fever and how to distinguish pigs from classical swine fever.

"The pigsty must be cleaned every day. If a pig gets classical swine fever, it will be burned and buried immediately..."

With the introduction of scientific knowledge about pig raising, Chen Feng nodded frequently, and he quickly understood the whole process of pig raising.

After all, he used to farm, feed chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.

"As for the manure of the pig house, it goes to the septic tank next to the pig house, which becomes the fertilizer of Guanzhuang. Of course, it's OK to raise some chickens and ducks next to the pig house. Sometimes chickens and ducks feed on pig manure, and they can also be put into Guanzhuang to get rid of insects. After all, Guanzhuang now grows cotton, but chickens and ducks don't eat cotton."

Xiao Ming's theories make Chen Feng dumbfounded. If it wasn't for Niu Zhen's call to his highness, he really suspected that the person in front of him was the king of Qi, and that Prince would understand this.

Pang Yukun and Niu Zhen were laughing bitterly.

They are also completely out of temper. The king of Qi knows astronomy and geography. Now he even knows this kind of scum clearly and seems to be more proficient.

This teaching gave Chen Feng a basic understanding of modern farming, and Xiao Ming was at ease.

The pig farm is a key to start the breeding industry in Qingzhou. In the future, these logistics soldiers will retire from the army and return home one by one to be pig experts. At that time, with their experience, the experience of modern pig breeding will spread among the people.

After staying at Guanzhuang for a while, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun leave together. On the way, Pang Yukun always looks down and ponders.

When Xiao Ming saw it, he asked, "why do you still think I know how to raise pigs?"
