Chapter 161: Wolf's Lair (3)

Wang You is a little ignorant, if you talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, arithmetic calculations, there is no problem in making an account every day, but when it comes to the pros and cons of current politics, isn't it embarrassing for yourself?

"The whole valley is divided into three areas, the front area is the animal husbandry area, breeding cattle, sheep and horses, the largest area in the middle area is the grain planting area, the back area is sandy, can only be planted pasture, fruit trees, most of the residents live on the slopes of the gentle terrain, you have just seen the houses, there are more than 200 houses like this, and three or four hundred ...... will be built next year."

Wang You gasped, there were so many slaves unconsciously, let alone four or five people in a household, then there were three or four thousand people in the entire valley?

"Do you live in the valley?"

Wang You found that there was not much sloping land around, and it was already densely packed with houses, and it was difficult to build more houses without using the flat land in the valley.

"If the slopes in the valley are used well, more than 400 houses could be built ......."

"Can't you build a house in a clearing in the valley?"

Zhen Qian smiled: "Of course you can, but in this way, the arable area in the valley will be reduced, if all the grain is supplied by the outside world, it will greatly increase our burden, and it is impossible not to be discovered!" ”

"But ......."

"You want to say that food prices are low now, don't you?"

Wang You nodded, now the price of grain is only six cents per bucket, three or four thousand people, and the annual grain consumption is only more than 10,000 stones, which is less than 1,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket for Zhen Qian. You must know that Zhen Qian's annual land output is 20,000 stones, plus the profit of the shop, there are at least more than 20,000 guan, and 1,000 guan is really not a big amount.

"You're wrong, since it's a paradise, you should be able to be self-sufficient, if you rely on the outside world, can it still be considered a paradise?"

"Is it self-sufficient in food?"

It is difficult for Wang You to imagine how the small valley can ensure self-sufficiency, and he just heard that there are many cattle, sheep and horses raised in the valley, so can the valley still produce its own food.

Zhen Qian didn't want to explain this much, only he understood the operation system of the entire valley, and everyone else did their own duties, and even if he explained it himself, it was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"The climate here is humid, there is plenty of water, you can grow two crops of rice a year, you can feed about five or six thousand people without a problem, if you add the cattle and sheep raised, you can increase the number of people by another thousand, and in two or three years the population of the valley will exceed 10,000!"

"Ten thousand!"

Wang You was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, 10,000 people is equivalent to an inferior small county town, how big is the valley! Isn't the valley overcrowded when you get there, and you don't understand what Zhen Qian wants to do?

"Surprised, isn't it?"

Not surprised, shocked! It's crazy, Wang You thinks of 10,000 people in the valley, not to mention whether there is enough food to eat, even if there is no place to live, do you live in a stone?

Zhen Qian smiled mysteriously, and didn't answer, "I'm going to pass by the breeding farm in front of me, just take you to see?" ”

Wang You followed Zhen Qian down the hillside, and found that the stone road under his feet had turned into a smooth boulder, the boulder was six or seven meters wide, as if there was no gap, and it stretched to the end of his gaze, and he couldn't help but lower his body and touch the ...... with his hand.

"It's a cement slab!" Zhen Qian stopped and stepped on the ground with his foot, and smiled mysteriously: "Do you remember the brick kiln in the village?" A large amount of waste was fired in the kiln, in fact, those are not waste materials at all, but cement, the so-called waste is just a cover-up, and it is said to be a loser, now you understand! ”

Wang You found that he didn't seem to know Zhen Qian, and how many secrets he didn't know, the brick kiln in the village had been regarded as the biggest laughing stock, and he couldn't burn a few bricks all day long, all of which were useless slag, what was this not a loser. Is that really the case? Wang You was also very puzzled, before Zhen Qian's amnesia, he did not distinguish between grains and grains, and his four bodies were not diligent, except for reading, he went to the restaurant with a few gentlemen to visit the kiln, which is normal! But definitely not those stupid surprise images. After the amnesia, the whole person seems to have changed all of a sudden, and I don't know what I'm doing mysteriously all day long, only Xiaozhu and Xiaomei can enter the study, and the people who come into contact with it have become a few trusted old people, and Wang You is like a separation, as if there are a lot of things to hide from themselves.

"What scrap is this?"

"Isn't it hard to believe?" Zhen Qian and Wang Lun looked at each other and smiled, Wang Lun replied: "Learn a little in the future, everything Da Lang does has its own reason, and what is impossible in the eyes of others can be possible in Da Lang's hands!" ”

"Don't talk about that, you'll understand when you see those scraps paved into concrete roads in the future, let's go! There's a feedlot ahead, you've seen it? ”

Rows of huge houses appeared in front of Wang You, all of which were made of cement in Zhen Qian's mouth, each covering an area of more than one acre and divided into two floors. As soon as I entered the house, I was stunned by the sight of sheep everywhere, flocks of sheep locked in square fences, and someone adding feed to the feed pool.

"Aren't sheep supposed to be free-range?"

"Have you forgotten the chicken coop in the village? Follow me! ”

Wang You followed behind Zhen Qian in a daze, thinking of the chicken cage in the village, and didn't find anything special, could there be any connection between raising chickens and raising sheep.

As soon as he followed Zhen Qian to the second floor, a rooster crow came into Wang You's ears, and Wang You was shocked again by the scene in front of him.

"Oh my God! This is a chicken cage, can you still raise chickens like this? ”

Wang You found that his brain was about to explode, rows of neat chicken cages were spread all over the second floor, chickens crowed one after another, and a chicken was placed in each small chicken cage, stretching out the chicken's neck to eat in the feed pool in front of him.

"This ...... This...... Chicken ......", Wang You didn't know what he should say, everything in front of him completely subverted his cognition, is this a dream?

Wang You pinched himself fiercely, and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of the three of them with a small cart, which was full of eggs and had a bright smile on her face.

"Da Lang...... Come to see the chicken farm? ”

"Yes! Just came back and stopped by. Grandma, how is the chicken farm now? ”

Grandma Sun was wearing an apron, dressed tightly, with a burlap hat on her head, a piece of gauze on her mouth, and only half of her face exposed, "What else, five thousand chickens are noisy to death, and the smell can smoke people to death, if it weren't for them to lay eggs, the old lady would break their necks!" I'm going to work, you don't like the smell here, just take your time! ”

Wang You recovered from the shock, only to find that the taste inside was really not very good, in addition to the disturbing chicken crow, there was also the smell of in the air.......

"I don't want to stay here......," Wang Lun smiled and quit the chicken farm.

"Now you understand, the chicken coops you see in the village are actually experiments, think about what it is like to stack chicken coops together, is the efficiency of raising a large increase, how many chickens can a family raise, and only a dozen women here can raise thousands of chickens, is it convenient and profitable?"
