Chapter 291: Chassis Point
Chao Gai quickly persuaded: "Sanniang first calm down and give birth to the child well. When the child is one year old, then consider those. If you can get used to the sea boat, you can be a fleet leader."
"Okay, I'll be the fleet captain after I finish my confinement."
"Okay, run from our village wharf to Tokyo City and transport goods back and forth."
Hu Sanniang cried and said, "Ah, I don't. I'm going to go to the sea, what's fun on the canal."
"Sailing is not a joke. If you don't exercise on the canal and go to the sea rashly, you will be scared to tears. Deep-sea phobia is very scary. Practice on the inland river first, and you can only sail on the sea after you get used to it."
"Okay, then build a ship as soon as possible. There will be five or six river boats."
"Okay, okay, let's arrange this."
Hu Sanniang pulled Chao Gai back to her room and hadn't seen each other for several months, but there was definitely no way to communicate with her in this situation.
"You also know Qiu Xia's thoughts. She is also beautiful. When will she marry her?"
"That's it."
Hu Sanniang pinched Chao Gai's thigh: "Pang Wanchun is your general, and it is the most reliable to kiss him."
The general who leads troops has great power.
As the main force of the light cavalry, Pang Wanchun naturally holds heavy troops.
"Well, it's time to consider it."
The family is fine, Cheng Wan and Hu Sanniang are in harmony and the family is stable.
In the evening, Chao Bin came over with a thick account book, and the accounts and the housekeeper had already checked them.
Chao Bin mainly reported the results of this year to Chao Gai.
The production of the breeding farms, plantations and various handicraft workshops under the first, second, third and fourth villages of Chaojiazhong is very large.
"First of all, there are fish ponds. Two new fish ponds were built on the basis of the original spring. However, the yield of these two new fish ponds is not high this year. When fish are divided in winter, the most households have more than 200 kilograms of fish, and the least households have five or six kilograms, with an average of more than 20 kilograms. It ensures that everyone has fish to eat during the New Year."
Fish ponds are just supplementing nutrition and are not a key point.
The most eye-catching thing is the cattle farm. Simmental cattle has grown to more than 1,000. In addition, hundreds of second-generation Simmental cattle have been bred through cross-breeding with local ordinary scalpers.
Chao Gai fought in the east this year, but he still did not care enough about the cattle farm.
"How are Simmental cattle performing, how about ploughing the land and pulling the cart?"
"Our cattle farm has just been established for a few years. The carts of farmland are all cows, and their strength is much greater than that of local scalpers. A single cow can easily pull the plow. However, the cattle is heavy and walking a little slower. It is most suitable to cultivate two mu of land a day. If there are more, it is easy to hurt the cattle. Short-distance carts are still very powerful. If you want to walk a long road, you are not as good as a donkey."
Each has its own uses. Simmental cattle are big and heavy, and they are best at arable land and milk production.
But it doesn't run fast and is not good at pulling a cart.
Those who are good at pulling carts are donkeys, mules and horses with relatively symmetrical bodies.
"Donkeys and horse breeding are also very good. Not counting the farmers' own households, only the village has issued 820 donkeys, 320 mules and 620 horses. The three horse farms have bred a total of 1,635 horses this year, and the output is still amazing. In a few years, a large number of horses can be cultivated to be available."
Chao Gai was very satisfied with this result. The surrounding area of Chao Gai's village does not have the conditions to raise a large number of horses, because there is no vast pasture, and the horses raised can only be regarded as farm horses and cannot run fast.
"Is there enough forage? There are so many new animals in the village. I'm afraid the forage is tight, right?"
"The owner of the village is as good as a god. Now there are hundreds of large animals in every village. I don't worry about pulling carts in the farmland, but the forage is really tight. It turned out that when there were fewer animals, everyone took the livestock directly to the river after doing farm work, and could eat a little bit in the wild. Now it's not possible. There are too many animals, and the grass in the surrounding wilderness can't grow taller. Now the villagers use mowing grass and growing far-fed grass. In addition, there are straws for grain. I believe that the lack of forage after the promotion of sweet potatoes will be alleviated."
Although sweet potatoes are good, they breed very slowly and cannot be compared with pumpkins at all.
As for the corn Chao Gai has been hiding it all the time. It is planted on Mizhou Island, and Chao Gai plans to sell corn seeds to make profits.
After all, whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, because the breeding method is relatively simple, it is still difficult to make a lot of money by selling seeds.
As for pumpkin seeds, Chao Gai completely gave up and regarded it as doing good deeds. He pushed them into society and allowed the people to plant them in large quantities, so that people could eat enough and wear warm clothes, which was also a great merit.
But Chao Gai has a few aces in his hand, namely cotton seeds, pepper seeds, and corn seeds.
Now Chao Gai is working hard to cultivate and develop, and generals have to make profits by selling seeds.
"Another good news is that the pig farm runs in the village. This year, more than 10,000 fat pigs were slaughtered, and more than 20,000 hams were made. It can be said that it is a bumper harvest. The pigs raised by farmers in the village are also very good. Most farmers like to raise pigs, more pigs, more grain, more pigs."
Not only pigs are raised well, but sheep, ducks, big geese and chickens are raised well.
It’s just that pigs are important fertilizer producers, so their status is very important.
Iron tools, machinery, and woodworking workshops are not managed by Chao Bin.
Chao Gai looked at Chao Bin with a smile, and Chao Bin looked up and down: "Is there anything wrong with me?"
"No, nothing is wrong. You have done a good job in the past two years, and you have a horse and a house, but you still want to go further?"
Chao Bin shook his hand repeatedly: "Whether money or house is money or house, I can do things for the owner of the manor, and I have no other requests."
"I want to send you to Taohua Mountain in Qingzhou. Their agriculture and animal husbandry development is too bad. They just need someone to provide guidance."
"As long as they can accept me, I will definitely be happy to go, and the tasks assigned by the owner of the manor will definitely be completed."
"They will definitely accept it, you don't have to worry about this. I will send dozens of elite soldiers to help you, so that you won't be weak."
"That's good, that's good, thank you, the owner."
It’s the twelfth lunar month now, so naturally I won’t send Chao Bin to it.
The more the twelfth lunar month comes, the busier things get.
There were tens of carriages coming and going on the roads in Chaojiazhuang, including those who pulled pickles, those who brought carrots, and those who brought paper, in a constant stream.
Mules, camels, etc. are also constantly coming and going, and there are more than a dozen large car shops nearby.
