Chapter 175 Planting and Animal Husbandry
Now that he was carrying such a burden, Fu Qingzhu suddenly understood some of the senior cabinet officials he had looked down on before.
How many people do I have to take care of now? There are less than 10,000 refugees, and I still have more than 100,000 taels of silver to support me. I don’t have the troubles of internal and external troubles, but I still find it difficult.
More and more people gathered together, and in order to keep them occupied, the stalls became bigger and bigger. But no harvest came in.
Rapid expansion consumes a lot of money and food every day, but the harvest is not that fast.
The livestock you raise don't grow up so quickly, and the food crops you plant don't grow out that quickly... You have to wait until the summer harvest at the earliest. How can you survive the long winter in between?
He wanted to ask Wang Xiao.
But I don't dare.
He asked this question last time.
Wang Xiao looked very casual and responded casually: "Send someone to buy some seafood and come back to eat. If there is no food, just eat fish, shrimps, crabs and shells from the Bohai Bay."
Then there are a bunch of truths, such as "We have money anyway, and we spend money to buy it every day, so people will naturally fish for it. When more people fish for it, the fishery will develop and productivity will develop again", and "Don't worry, we will
We are all investing now, but we haven’t seen any returns yet” and the like.
Master Fu Qing listened to him and sent people to buy seafood. He spent a lot of money and recruited more refugees.
As a result, I sent people to Tianjin, and the food they ate on the way was more than the aquatic products brought back.
So in the past two days, the food consumption has been faster, and I have one more thing to take care of.
This small business owner doesn't care about things himself. He just opens his mouth to talk about anything. Regardless of whether he can solve the specific problem, if you ask him once, the stall will have to be bigger.
The urgent need now is that there is no 'return', yet he opens his mouth and wants to 'invest' again.
Master Fu Qing was a little afraid to see Wang Xiao.
On the contrary, Tang Qianqian was quite capable, managing accounts, arranging manpower, and doing everything in an orderly manner. However, after stealing her bottle of medicine that day, she stopped coming here.
This is the size of that woman's belly.
How can you do things if you are so small-minded?
Fu Qingzhu couldn't help but rub his head, thinking that he would have to recruit a few managers.
"food……"
Just when I was thinking about this, I saw Geng Dang running over.
"Mr. Fu," Geng Dang said, "Look, today's eggs are a little bigger."
Such a stupid question left Fu Qingzhu quite speechless and he couldn't help but look up at Geng Dang.
Geng Dang blinked and said: "Mr. Fu, you see, it's really a little big. Even Xiao Yun said it's strange."
Fu Qingzhu was too lazy to care about this and asked: "How is the greenhouse matter going?"
Geng Dang said: "I think it's feasible. Mr. Fu is really a genius."
He gestured with great joy and said: "I have tried both methods. You see, we build a house here, build a fire cellar here to light a fire, and we can accommodate refugees to keep warm in the winter, and then dig a cellar underground to plant seeds."
Vegetables, hehe, can be used for two purposes with one fire. My mother came over and sprinkled the seeds, and they sprouted. They really sprouted! My mother was shocked..."
"Mr. Fu is really a genius!" He praised again.
Master Fu Qing waved his hands and said, "It's not that Fu is talented. I listened to what my boss said last time and I went through ancient books to find this method."
"Decorate the secret room with paper, cut the ground to make a ridge, and then put boiling soup in the ridge. After a while, the soup fumigates, and then the fan blows in the breeze, full of the harmonious atmosphere of spring." He read another sentence and sighed:
"The ancients have not deceived me. I must have found inspiration from this book. I am actually well-read at such a young age."
Geng Dang said: "I have also tried the method of growing vegetables by the hot springs. It works, but the quantity is small... But whether it likes shade or heat, dryness or humidity, I can do it now, but some of it is very troublesome.
"
Don’t worry about the trouble, there are many people anyway. It’s fine as long as it doesn’t cost food.
Master Fu Qing nodded and said, "Those medicinal materials must be taken care of."
"Of course." Geng Dang said: "Mr. Fu, look at this egg again. The chicks are growing very fast these days. I can see that they are getting bigger every day."
Master Fu Qing said: "They ate a lot of locusts in the past few days. They ate too much, so the eggs they laid were naturally a little bigger..."
Geng Dang got the answer and left the house with satisfaction.
He took the eggs and went to find Zhuang Xiaoyun.
Zhuang Xiaoyun was building a house. While hammering nails, he asked: "What did Mr. Fu say?"
"Sure enough, it's because of eating locusts."
"Then if we raise more chickens, can we control locusts?" Zhuang Xiaoyun asked again.
Geng Dang said: "What are you thinking about? Can you eat all the food in the mountains and plains?"
Zhuang Xiaoyun scratched his head and said, "But that day, I saw that chicken could eat a lot of locusts..."
"Those stupid chickens of yours can't fly. No matter how much you eat, how many can you catch?" Geng Dang began to carry the wood.
Zhuang Xiaoyun said: "I ate a lot, I see..."
But a young man named Erwa ran over in a panic.
"Brother Geng, Brother Zhuang, come and see! Brother Geng, there are insects growing around your fire cellar! Brother Zhuang, your chickens ran over and destroyed all the vegetable seedlings in the fire cellar..."
Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun looked at each other and ran towards the fire cellar.
After running a few steps, he saw several carriages parked on the official road. Qin Xuance ran down and shouted: "Lao Dang, Xiao Lun, let's go play together."
Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
Frankly speaking, they didn't really want to play with Qin Xuance.
Every day is planned to be very busy, including farming, raising chickens, building houses, practicing folk sports, etc. After taking a break, we all have to play Cuju. After that, we will make a few plates of peanuts and have a few drinks with Mr. Fu.
Listen to him tell some stories.
In this world in Mentougou, there are many cheerful folk girls applauding their Cuju skills. Why listen to those official girls reciting poems and lyrics that they don't understand...

On the carriage, Song Lan'er lifted the curtain and took a look, then said "Yeah".
"Sister Mingjing, look, it's them."
Zuo Mingjing looked around and couldn't help but become confused.
"Why are they here?"
She suddenly thought of the rumor that Wang Xiao had "occupied people's land" a few days ago, and she couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
‘Laughter’ Industrial Park…
This is actually his property?!
On another carriage.
For Qian Duoduo, she was actually a little embarrassed at this time.
The reason why I invited Wang Xiao is that we all play board games together. So, after all, I should also invite these two ‘Lao Dang’ and ‘Xiao Luck’.
But now I have forgotten even their names.
It seemed as if he paid special attention to Wang Xiao.
She was actually a little worried that if Lao Dang and Xiao Yun agreed, these two people seemed to be good at martial arts, and then the matter of father's orders would be...
Qian Duoduo couldn't help pinching the handkerchief in her hand, and listened nervously to the conversation outside.
When he heard what the two people said, "There is something else going on in the fire cellar," he refused Qin Xuance's invitation.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the carriage slowly moved forward again.
Chapter completed!
