"Brother, I have transferred to various farms in the village these two days, but there are still some minor problems."

"Oh, what a problem, but it's okay."

"First, the fish pond is still frozen. I looked at it from the ice. There are still a lot of fish. After spring, it is time to catch some more fish. Too many fish is not conducive to the growth of fresh fish fry. Second, the cattle farms are running well and almost impeccable. Now calves about one year old have begun to train cultivate land one after another. Third, pig farms are opened many times, with large scale and large amounts of fertilizer produced, but there are still small problems. First, the pens of young pigs are in the pens. The fireplaces of some pens are broken, and the workers have managed too much, and there are frozen pigs."

Chao Gai was very angry: "I always thought that the pig farm management was in place. Some people were so irresponsible. They should be dealt with severely with high wages and high benefits."

"I asked in detail, it was not that the workers were not dedicated, but that they had few staff and could not get it. There were thirty sows in the No. 1 Pig Farm in winter, and there were only six workers at night shifts, two of which were vigilant. My suggestion was to send additional staff in advance before the winter next year to avoid this situation."

"What the gentleman said makes sense. The manpower mainly flows to the workshop, and the farm has insufficient manpower. If you arrange to increase the manpower, the profit of breeding is still quite high, let alone long-term development."

Zhu Wu sorted the problems he found into a book and handed them over to Chao Gai. After seeing them, Chao Gai agreed and immediately followed suit. Zhu Wu went to supervise the implementation.

The first thing is to increase the investment in the breeding farm. The enclosures that should be repaired should be repaired and the personnel that should be increased should be increased.

Secondly, the sheep farm is expanded, and Chao Gai attaches too little importance to sheep farming. This time, we will expand the scale and build two new sheep farms, because this year the planting area of ​​sweet potato and corn has been expanded, and the forage will be guaranteed.

Each farm has a person in charge, and Zhu Wu only needs to issue an order and then accept the results.

"Sir, follow me to see the newly expanded ceramic workshop in the afternoon, and you will be able to coordinate the ceramic workshop in the future."

"Okay brother, no problem."

Because of Zhu Wu's identity, Chao Gai was not convenient to take him to Dongping Prefecture, so the family's breeding and some workshops had to be handed over to Zhu Wu for coordination and management.

After lunch, Zhu Wu accompanied Chao Gai to the ceramic workshop not far from the south of the village.

Here are black ceramic wine bottles and wide-mouth canned ceramic bottles, so there is almost no need to consider sales issues. Now the canned shop produces more than 2,000 canned seafood bottles every day. After the expansion of the canned shop located in Mizhou Port, the output will reach 5,000 bottles per day, and the required canned bottles are huge.

Due to technology, there is no ability to produce glass bottles yet, so ceramic bottles are the mainstream.

"Now, canned bottles are basically stable. With more and more skilled craftsmen, it is only a matter of time before 5,000 bottles are produced per day. The gentleman just needs to go over and check the safety production situation occasionally. It will take a rest for about a month to start firing white porcelain plates to sell to Goryeo and Japan, and ordinary ceramic tableware is best exported."

Zhu Wu really doesn't understand ceramics, but it doesn't matter much. The ceramic workshop has a supervisor. He just took the time to come and check it out, communicate with each other when encountering problems, and assumed the role of connecting the past and the future. After all, Chao Gai is so busy that it is impossible for him to care about these things every day.

"It's okay, no problem. It's not far from the fish pond. I will come and see it often and solve any problems as soon as possible."

"I feel wronged. I am a little talented in managing these small things. I will be willing to wait for a while. In about half a year, I will arrange an important thing for my husband."

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will arrange it carefully no matter what I do."

After having breakfast that day, the potato field in Chaojiazhuang Second Village was planned for convenience of care. The potatoes were sown early, and they would have to be sown in about a month, so we should cultivate the land as soon as possible now.

This year's arable land is different from previous years. Chao Gai, the third army's commander Zhu Wu, the housekeeper Chao Fu, Chao Bin, and the cattle farm and the horse farm supervisor have all arrived.

Four kinds of livestock were divided into groups to start plowing. The first group was horse farming, a short grassland horse from the Liao Kingdom, with two horses in a group.

The second group is local scalpers, two strong scalpers.

The third group is two big black mules, and the fourth group is two donkeys.

Chao Gai announced: "Today we are going to cultivate potato fields and prepare to grow potatoes. By the way, we will let everyone see which farmland is good and fast in these four types of livestock. Each group is strong livestock and is skilled farmland. We will try it today to see which farmland is the fastest."

At the beginning of the competition, the big whip was swung, the grassland horse was very fast, the scalpers walked more steadily, the mules were not struggling, and the donkey was fine.

Each group of plows one acre of land, and everyone watched patiently. The mule was the most pulling force and walking quickly after the first plow. This was undoubtedly true.

Horses are second, but the horses are a little irritable and most farmers cannot use them.

The scalper is the third one. Although he walks slowly, he has strong endurance.

The fourth donkey is a medium-sized donkey, which is less powerful than a scalper, and it is expected to be ranked last.

This is acre of land. If you plow for a day, the difference will be even greater.

Chao Gai announced: "If you have strong men and land at home, you will distribute horses and mules one after another. Those who want to adopt can register at the horse farm, but the number is very small and not much is distributed."

Everyone was uproaring. It turned out that Chao Gai held a farmland competition to let everyone understand the strength of the mules and prepare for the distribution of horses.

Chaojiazhuang is a farming area and there are no large open spaces to raise horses, so cultivating horses and mules has become an important way out.

Zhu Wu suggested: "If my brother wants a large number of horses, he should find a wide horse farm to grazle acres. There are a lot of wasteland in the northwest, which is most suitable for raising horses. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to the northwest to raise horses."

"Mr. I'm reminding me that raising horses in the northwest cannot be achieved in the short term, but Batian Island has an empty island of hundreds of acres. There is no pressure to raise thousands of horses, it's just transporting some forage."

After all, it is too difficult to raise horses in the farm area, so you can only keep them in captivity. The horse farm is pitifully small and you cannot let the horses run around unscrupulously.

Just as Chaojiazhuang was preparing to grow potatoes, Lu Fang, who was far away on Mizhou Island, was facing a new challenge.

In the North Daying of Mizhou Island, the sound of the oxen horn suddenly sounded on the watchtower at the port. The horn of the whimpering horn was the sound of the enemy attacking. The camp, several miles away from the shore, responded quickly, and one hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry gathered quickly.

Lu Fang put on his armor, carried the Fang Tianji and got on the war horse, and asked the sentry: "What's the situation?"

"Three Goryeo warships came from the northern sea, and I don't know what purpose it is."
