Chapter 82: On Livestock

The horse's hooves stepped on the strokes, and the two brothers each rode a good horse, which was as casual and comfortable as a street and watching flowers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This year, half of the poultry farming in Hebei has died, but on the whole, it is still profitable." The dredging of the Wudi River and the construction of irrigation canals finally gave the ground of Cangzhou a little breath of later generations, of course, just the breath of the countryside.

The demand for meat on the front line is a bottomless pit, and three years ago, in fact, the Tang people who wanted to be soldiers seriously, except for the generals, most of them were fighting men with no way out.

However, in the future, the Tang people used soldiers, mostly in the grassland, and won victories one after another. Accompanied by Zhang Gongjin's appointment as Monan, not to mention the support of various provinces, and the six departments of the imperial court, not to mention the involvement of the military and the emperor's personal ambitions. It was also at this time that Zhang De made great progress in the development of the China Resources system.

This is a complementary relationship, and the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant is the product of compromise, but also the product of roundabouts. Cangzhou Assassin Xue Dading's support for him comes from Zhang De's feedback to Cangzhou, and Cangzhou, starting from Xue Dading's number one, whether it is a county order or a peddler's pawn, can enjoy the benefits.

At the same time, the Dingxiang Army fought repeatedly, Hebei Province allocated grain, and the China Resources system played an important role. That is, the Tang Army, which made Liaoxi and Liaodong fight, got an amazing improvement in food.

It was not that Wei Chigong sat in a row at that point in Mobei to divide the fruits, but took a bite of the meat and his mouth was full of oil. In Cangzhou, although it suffered from several chicken plagues, it still provided multiple batches of smoked chicken and other poultry meat in batches of 10,000 catties. At the same time, all kinds of poultry eggs can ensure that the Dingxiang army can have more than three chickens per soldier per day in the front-line operation. The rest of the duck eggs and goose eggs, after pickling, belong to the special supply of officers and soldiers.

In addition to these, according to the calculation of half a catty of bacon for one pound of pork, the bacon in the packaging box was sealed, and the Dingxiang army went out of Da Luobo to attack the Khitan, and allocated 150,000 catties of bacon.

In the entire Hebei Province, the upper echelons were only shocked by this terrifying production capacity, although this kind of production capacity is not even a fraction compared with the industrial aquaculture industry, but only this kind of centralized management of agricultural products underwriting and production is enough to hang up the small farmers who guard 1,200 acres of Yongye field.

Even if you make up for the tax increase in open fields, it is still several times the profit. Xue Dading cooperated with the **** of China Resources, in addition to blocking the military's mouth, but also showing off his muscles in Hebei Province. As for those cultivators, how to fight, it is not Zhang De's business alone.

For the low-level Hanhu people in Hebei Province and border passes, eating meat is directly equated with being a soldier. The Tang Army's requirements for soldiers are extremely high, and at this moment, if you count the soldiers of the various unified military offices and tribes, the nominal Tang Army is more than one million. However, this army of millions is meaningless, just numbers.

Therefore, the power that can really make the barbarians fear and make the family dormant is the 200,000 regular soldiers whose confidence has risen to the peak at this moment.

But these 200,000 are still not all elites who will win the war, and they can only be said to be able to fight as soon as they are taken out.

Taking Liangzhou as an example, if you want to supply like the Dingxiang army, I am afraid that it will be completely dragged down in a year, no matter how good Li Daliang is in both civil and military affairs, he will not be able to spell, and he will not be able to conjure meat, poultry eggs and even cellared vegetables from the loess sand.

It's just a bundle of Chinese cabbage, and now the whole Datang has not been promoted, and it is only the agricultural production places that can be affected by the China Resources system behind Zhang De that can promote this agricultural technology that increases yield and high yield.

As for cellaring...... The old farmers in Guanzhong have never heard of it.

But this winter, in Hebei Province and even Liaodong, in the vast wind and snow, the Tang Army was able to easily cut a pound of bacon in the barracks, and then stew dozens of pounds of fat and refreshing Chinese cabbage. Among them, there may also be some sea salt from Denglai......

"Nowadays, there are a lot of pig cutters in Chang'an, most of whom are learned in Hetao, and the breeding of guinea dogs in suburban counties is booming."

Li Fengjie smiled, "I told the adults about this kind of thing, and the adults also raised some Cangzhou dolphins in Liangzhou, and the big pigs can have three stones when they are slaughtered." ”

"Sanshi is too fat."

"Liangzhou people lack oil and water in their stomachs." Li Fengjie said this, but he had some spirit, "The adults said that it is really not easy to raise pigs in Baiqiang." Bai Qiang took the wild boar to breed the Cangzhou dolphin, and the little pig was a lot more delicious, and the taste was quite similar to buffalo meat. ”

"Buffalo meat is not tasty."

Zhang De smiled.

"Wang Zhenjiang's wife Mo Shi is a Qiang girl, and a batch of pigs died in Liangzhou in June, and she helped to pacify the Qiang cottage. A few of the dart masters of the dart bureau stayed in Liangzhou and became a family. ”

Trivial things, in fact, are quite interesting to say. The black wind ticks and ticks and steps on the bluestone slab, the scenery near this Dafeng Spring is really a little different from the bustling Chang'an, in the wind and snow, you can also smell the dark fragrance, about the cold plum blossoms.

"Livestock and poultry are raised more and more die, but in the end, they still make a lot of money. However, small retail investors like Liangzhou can't become the climate after all. Zhang De took the liquor from Li Fengjie's hand, poured a sip, drove away the cold air all over his body, and heard that there seemed to be a shouting movement in front of him, and it was about the drama of "the Holy Monarch Welcomes the Virtuous Ministers in the Wind and Snow" has been staged.

Ignoring the gratitude or sympathy in front of them, Zhang De and Li Fengzhi were both talking about the livestock in the western part of the Northland.

"Now Chang'an is a matchmaker, and the geese sent are all geese from China Resources." Li Fengjie was very emotional, "Only this year, the reputation of Cangzhou goose has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

The geese of Cangzhou came all the way to Chang'an, not only did they not starve to death and die of emaciation, but they were bigger than the geese in Chang'an, and they roared loudly louder than the crowing rooster. Not to mention the shiny feathers, the black goose is strong and the white goose is neat, and it sells quite well.

Another example is Cangzhou duck eggs, pickled in marl, which are actually salted duck eggs. It's not that there are no salted duck eggs in other places, but the salted duck eggs in Cangzhou can ensure that the oil is produced, not only to ensure the oil, but also to ensure how much there is. Even a few times when the princess was at a banquet, the duck eggs taken out were all double yolk eggs.

It's just that not everyone can consume such in-demand things, and the most important thing is that these in-demand things are linked to the military needs of the Liao army.

Therefore, ordinary people who want to get in touch with such things that cost a little more, in addition to having a lot of money and a little surplus wealth, most of them still serve as soldiers.

And after the Ministry of War purchased these materials and obtained the authorization of the imperial court, anyone who was an official in the north could get an extra copy from the China Resources behind Zhang De. The price of military procurement is a little higher than the parity price, and the generals to whom the northern military quartermaster belongs only need to invite a caring person to resell this extra material to Guanluo.

If the heart is a little darker, except for the front line, there is no deduction, and the rear garrison detains some, what can others say?

Back and forth, after these generals are transferred to the military department, the relationship with the China Resources will not deteriorate but will only deepen. It's just that China Resources seems to have never asked the middle and lower-level bureaucrats of the military department to do anything, so it seems that there are no sequelae.

Fang Qiaojia deposed the title of ambassador, and the configuration of Shangshu's left servant, but in the end, nothing was found. First, there is no need, and second, the level of military quarters on the front line is much higher than the average level of the Tang Army, even if it is the emperor's left and right camps, it is just that the meat that can be eaten every day is fresh, and the last point, the sons and daughters of the nobles in the "Zhongyi Society", their fathers, are all generals.

For every bacon produced, every duck egg pickled, and every fat goose provided in Hebei Province, there is their share of the input, and the output of this also has their share.

Fang Qiao will not ask for hardship, not to mention, there are many mountain leaders in the army, and the level of food and military supplies for Liao soldiers in Hebei Province far exceeds that of other places, which has caused strong dissatisfaction; If Fang Qiao lit a fire on the "Eat Card", the twelve generals of the Great Court would beat each other, but I am afraid that it would only be a small scene, and in the end, not to mention a few people, there is no doubt about shuffling the cards once.

"Brother, Your Majesty has already met Zou Guogong."

The two brothers chatted and chatted, and the blinding wind and snow finally faded, and from a distance, they seemed to see the emperor helping up Zhang Gongjin, who was kneeling, and not far away, Yan Liben, who would be the young eunuch, was watching with bright eyes.

"Young Eunuch Yan has to do a good job again."

Zhang De held the reins in his hand and said from afar. (To be continued.) )
