Chapter 1207 Just ask more than 10 billion rabbits, are you afraid? (2nd Update)
Chapter 1207
Wang Yang turned his head to look not far away, where the four-wheeled carriages parked in the open space next to the cement straight road were unloading the truckloads of goods.
Every day, the number of new tools shipped from the Ordnance Prison alone is in thousands. I have to admit that the productivity of the ordnance superintendents, who used hydraulic mechanical forging to make these tools, was indeed extremely strong.
Especially for things like pickaxes and iron hammers that don't have much technical content, the water hammer weighing several tons only needs a few hits to get it.
All that remains is to use other hydraulic machinery, bend some places into the desired shape, and then quench them, and then complete them with suitable sticks.
With a factory like the Ordnance Supervisor, Wang Yang was able to get enough construction tools in the shortest possible time.
Of course, these are all money, but all the money spent is Wang Daguan's own money, and the old cow steward, watching the money in the account decrease little by little every day, his expression is like that of the Grande who saw the two wicks lit.
"Childe, Shopkeeper Wan is here." Hearing the reminder of Wanyan Aguda beside him, Wang Yang turned his head and saw a tall figure not far away who was walking quickly towards this side, it was the old driver Wan Bin Wan who presided over the work of Wanhong Trading Company.
"Why did Brother Xian come here today?" After Wan Bin came to Wang Yang and said hello, his eyes swept over the hot construction site. "It seems that these people are very motivated."
"That's nature, they're building their own homes, so naturally they have to work hard." Wang Yang explained with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Wan, what do I need, junior brother?"
"I came here today to tell you the news, the problem is not big, but this amount is too much, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make up all of it for a while. Not only do you have to buy from near Bianliang, but you also have to buy from other areas, so that you can meet the quantity you require in winter. ”
"In addition to chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, the rabbit is really difficult to purchase, after all, that thing is game, and if you want to buy such a large amount, I am afraid it will not be strange for several years."
"That's fine, as long as the chickens, ducks, geese and piglets are in place." Wang Yang waved his hand and smiled.
In this era, centralized breeding has not yet formed a scale, even the largest pig farmers outside Kaifeng City, it is only hundreds of pigs, after all, this era is agriculture is king, not breeding is king.
The important thing is that in this era, no matter what kind of poultry or pigs and sheep are raised, more people are free-range, especially pigs.
The pigs of this era, compared to the big fat pigs that Wang Yang saw in later generations, definitely belong to the slim school, or are so slender that they are heartbreaking.
Because those pigs, especially boars, are absolutely wild and extremely active, and a lot of calories do not turn into fat, but become the motivation for them.
Although the pork is very strong, there is more meat, but at the same time, the smell is also strong. Therefore, in later generations, pigs want to fatten, one is to rely on feed, and the other is to rely on castration.
As for the concentrated chickens, they can play a role to the fullest, after all, chickens grow very fast. As for ducks and geese, hehe, with such a large swamp as Huanglongze, it would be a sin not to raise ducks and geese.
And raising rabbits, Wang Yang also has no choice, originally wanted to raise mink, after all, the skin of that thing is really valuable, but the problem is that the mink thing seems to grow in the northeast, and who knows if they can adapt to the environment of the Central Plains.
Even what their food was, Wang Daguan didn't understand, but it was the rabbit, which Wang Yang had raised when he was a bear child.
At that time, it was a couple, and then, it kept giving birth, giving birth, giving birth...... Not...... The rabbit is not like other animals, it is more like Tai Ritian, it does not have a heat period.
But all year round, this thing sleeps when it is full, and when it is full, it pops, and then it sees a litter of rabbits. The little rabbits will also eat and sleep, and sleep and snap.
Wang Yang still remembers seeing a report about Australia, and there were no rabbits on this vast continent.
As a result, before the First World War, Britain at that time was still called the Empire on which the sun never sets, and Australia was a colony of this country.
After the first industrial revolution, the empire on which the sun never sets has realized that its bigger place can no longer meet its own development needs, and can only expand externally.
As a result, the empire of the sun never set sent prisoners from the country to this land as the basis of the population. The prisoners were followed by a number of creatures, including twenty-seven rabbits.
Don't ask Wang Yang how he knows that it is twenty-seven rabbits and not twenty-six or two hundred and five, anyway, it is twenty-seven on the news.
It was a captain named Philip, and he led the famous Royal First Fleet, escorting prisoners to Sydney Harbour for landing. And he threw all the prisoners on board and the twenty-seven rabbits on the land.
Thus, these twenty-seven rabbits became the ancestors of the Australian rabbit family. Whatever the reason for sending it in the first place.
These rabbits weren't the first to be hung over a campfire and baked as a delicious treat. Soon, the rabbits developed their same spirit and fighting spirit, and began to breed wildly in the vast plains of Australia.
By the twentieth century, rabbits had taken over the entire Australian continent, or rather, rabbits were found in every corner of Australia.
This is not a good thing, after all, Australia's population is only more than 20 million in the 21st century, but rabbits, hehe, more than 10 billion rabbits, uh, 10 billion rabbits, I ask you if you are afraid?
Therefore, the reproductive ability of rabbits is extremely terrifying, especially in the absence of food worries and natural predators, which is completely comparable to rats, at least Wang Yang thinks so.
After all, rabbits and rats are definitely close relatives, because they both belong to the same group of rodents under the subclass Mammalian and Eumatria of the Chordate phylum. In other words, they are a group and have the same strong reproductive ability.
The important thing is that the rabbit is a treasure, the rabbit meat is really delicious, whether it is braised or stewed, or stir-fried, and the spicy rabbit head is the favorite snack of southerners, especially Sichuan people.
Of course, there is also the fur of rabbits, which is definitely a good thing, although it is not as good as mink, but it is also a very beautiful and soft fur, which is very suitable for fur.
"I said, Brother Xian, these homeless people have already signed a tenant agreement with you?" Wan Bin lowered his voice and asked Wang Yang.
"Of course, they have all signed, some people have signed tenant agreements, some people have signed employment agreements, in short, these tens of thousands of displaced people are no longer displaced people, and all those who have the ability to work have become contract workers of my Wang's people."
"It's just that I really don't have so many houses for them to live in now, so I can only continue to occupy the military camp outside the city for the time being."
