Protect Our Patriarch - Chapter 226

[Chapter 88 Layout the front horse!]

…

Tianhong Ranch.

It is one of the three major pastures in Qianma Town.

The pasture alone has reached 30,000 mu, with 800 herdsmen.

Last year, the Wang family used all 800 herders and farmers, and even dispatched 2,000 strong men and 300 auxiliary workers from Ping’an Town, just to harvest the old alfalfa grass by killing chickens and taking eggs.

The sandy loam soil was also turned over, and the roots and stems of alfalfa, which were inedible by cattle and sheep, were turned and buried in the ground, which was recycled into nutrients for the earth.

Alfalfa is a kind of magical pasture. Since it was domesticated by humans, it has been inseparably connected with the development of animal husbandry.

It is not picky about the land, has a large forage yield, and has the effect of fertilizing fields.

Originally, the seeds of alfalfa planted by the former Ma Huangfu’s family were ordinary fine seeds that Huangfu’s family had painstakingly obtained from the main vein, and then cultivated for hundreds of years into high-quality alfalfa grass.

Each mu of pasture can be harvested multiple times a year, and the average annual output of fresh forage can reach 20 dan!

Pasture-raised cattle are usually divided into several categories.

The most common is a “beef breed” called the Shorthorn Red Bull.

In this regard, it is very different from ancient China.

In ancient China, only cattle were usually raised, and even the officials of many dynasties prohibited the killing of cattle, which is a fundamental difference in the social pattern.

Daqian cultivation has become a common practice, from the inexperienced Xuanwu family to the loose cultivator, to the aristocratic families of all grades, which one does not need a lot of meat to replenish qi and blood.

Although fierce beast meat is very strong in replenishing qi and blood, it is ultimately too expensive, and ordinary meat has become the daily expense of many cultivators.

Even the family soldiers of the Wang clan would have meat supplements every few days.

The beef cattle, pigs, and sheep that are specially used for food have also been cultivated from generation to generation and have strong functions.

As far as beef cattle such as shorthorn red cattle are concerned, it has a high feed-to-meat ratio and is a high-quality beef cattle. It is also a popular breed for a family engaged in similar breeding.

Wang Shouzhe’s caravan is about to arrive at Tianhong Ranch.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Luotong rode a horse and stayed outside the ranch to greet him.

The wind in the pasture was a bit strong, and the black cloak outside the basalt armor was hunting with the wind, making her look extraordinarily valiant.

In addition to the two generals, there was a young man in Chinese clothes riding a tall horse beside her.

The young man was tall and handsome, but when he looked at Wang Luotong, his eyes were a little timid, and he couldn’t help but glance.

“What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I’ll dig out your eyeballs?” Wang Luotong’s eyes widened, her hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and she stared at him with murderous intent.

The young man in Chinese clothes had a stiff expression, he hurriedly laughed twice, turned his head, and defended in a low voice, “I won’t look, I won’t look, I’m here to greet Patriarch Shouzhe.”

“This Tianhong Ranch is now the property of our Wang family.” Wang Luotong said coldly, “My fourth brother is here to inspect, do you need you, Master Lei, to greet you? If you are acquainted, hurry back and don’t get in the way here.”

Speaking of this, Wang Luotong was also a little speechless.

This young man in Chinese clothing is the seventh son of Lei Bowu, the second son of the current lineage.

Last time, because of provoking her younger brother Wang Shouye, she was taught a lesson by her.

Originally, she wanted to attract hatred for her brother, so that he would not harass her brother and disturb him in alchemy.

But he didn’t want to, this guy chased after Qianma Town every few days.

And then no matter how hard she beats and humiliated her, she was always like a candy bar, clinging to the front.

In addition to going back for a new year, this is just the beginning of spring and it is sticking again.

“Luotong, you can’t say that.” Lei Bowu said with a thick skin, “The fourth brother is one of the most outstanding people in the world, and we are one of the top leaders in Changningwei. I have admired him for a long time, and I came to greet him. It’s my duty.”

Wang Luotong is pretty and charming, does my fourth brother need something like you to admire?

What did she do to provoke such a remarkable thing.

Well at this time.

Wang Shouzhe’s carriage team had arrived, Wang Luotong hurriedly rode his horse to meet him, jumped off his horse in front of the carriage,

Yingying smiled and said, “Fourth brother, you are here.”

Wang Shouzhe got off the carriage, stepped forward, rubbed her hair, and said in a distressed tone, “You girl, you won’t go back to the main house during the Chinese New Year. It’s really hard for you these days.”

Although Luotong was only two years younger than him, in Wang Shouzhe’s eyes, his younger sister was always his younger sister.

No matter how old she is, she is still her own sister.

“Fourth brother, the family spent so much money to buy the assets of Qianma Town.” Wang Luotong shook his head and said, “There are too many things to deal with here, we need to hurry up to make these assets revitalized, it’s okay to skip a year. .”

Wang Luotong is also a heroic and sassy woman, and she is quite a royal sister in front of her younger brothers and sisters.

But in front of Wang Shouzhe, there are some little children.

This made Lei Bowu a little crazy. Luo Tong, who used to whip a whip and add chili water at every turn, actually had such a gentle and pleasant side.

“This is the young master of the Lei family, right?” Wang Shouzhe set his eyes on Lei Bowu, his eyes slightly serious and scrutinized.

Based on Wang Shouzhe’s intelligence network and eyes and ears, if there is such a person who has been pestering his sister for a few months and doesn’t know anything, then he shouldn’t be involved.

Lei Bowu grew up in a honeypot, and he has seen many big people.

But when he faced Wang Shouzhe’s eyes, his heart froze, and he hurriedly got off his horse and saluted, “Lei Shibowu has seen the Shouzhe Patriarch.”

Today’s Wang Shouzhe is not a small person, that is a person who can chat and laugh with his father Lei Yangyu and call him a brother.

What’s more, he is also Wang Luotong’s brother.

Even in his capacity as the second son of the Heavenly Man Lei Clan, he would not dare to make trouble at will.

Wang Shouzhe just nodded lightly and ignored him.

Although the Lei family is a family of heaven and human, the Ping An Wang family is also a peak eighth-rank family, and Wang Shouzhe is the head of the family.

In his eyes, Lei Bowu was just a junior.

Under the leadership of Wang Luotong.

Wang Shouzhe and the others quickly arrived in Tianhong Ranch, a fairly decent house, and were arranged to stay in and wait for things.

Wang Shouzhe was in the study, talking with Wang Luotong and Wang Zongwei.

“Fourth Uncle, please have some tea.” Wang Zongwei is now thirty years old, and he still has two moustaches, but he looks a lot more mature.

But in front of Wang Shouzhe, he didn’t even dare to take a breath. When sitting on the stool, he only dared to touch his butt a little, and his waist was straight and he looked like he could accept lectures at any time.

“Zong Wei, this is the spring clothes and family letter that Miss Rong asked me to bring to you.” Wang Shouzhe took out a large package and a thick letter from the storage ring and handed it to Wang Zongwei.

“This……”

Wang Zongwei hurriedly stood up, took the package and the letter, and said with sincerity, “How dare she bother Fourth Uncle, it’s outrageous.”

“What’s the trouble?” Wang Shouzhe said indifferently, “Xiao Rong is my nephew’s daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law that my Wang’s matchmaker is marrying, and she is a family. That child is gentle, you have to treat her well and don’t let her down. .”

In the end of Gongsun Rong’s marriage, Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui personally went to help him talk about it.

Otherwise, how could he marry a girl like Gongsun Rong with his disinterested temperament when he was young.

However, the names of Gongsun’s women are quite arbitrary, unlike Wang’s women who are ranked according to their seniority.

“Fourth Uncle, don’t worry.” Wang Zongwei said hurriedly, “If I let Rong’er down and keep it safe from the sky, I won’t be able to die with a thunderbolt. Fourth Uncle, if you slash me with your sword, I will have no complaints.”

“You have performed well in the last two years, especially this time you have made great contributions.” Wang Shouzhe rarely praised him and said, “This time, you will also make some achievements in Qianma Town, so that others can see, my Wang’s son It’s all good.”

“Yes, Fourth Uncle.” Wang Zongwei, who was rarely praised, nodded again and again, excited.

To be so praised by the fourth uncle is better than anything else.

Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe took out another package and gave it to Wang Luotong: “Your mother has been busy with the Jinsha Xu family recently, and has no time to buy new clothes for you. The two spring clothes here are specially bought for you by your fourth sister-in-law. ”

“Thank you fourth brother, and also thank you sister-in-law.” Wang Luotong was also full of joy when he received the gift.

The value of the gift is not important, what matters is the care from the family.

After the three chatted briefly, they entered the official topic.

“Fourth Uncle, I’ll report to you about the general situation of Tianhong Ranch first.” Wang Zongwei also had a straight face, took out the brochure and said, “There are 800 herdsmen in the pasture, with a total of 3,110 people. There are 30,000 mu of land, but after years of development, there is not much room for expansion.”

“There are 5,000 shorthorn red cattle in stock, including 2,000 breeding-age cows, 400 young cows, 100 young and strong breeding cattle, and the rest are beef cattle within one age. The way Huangfu’s business used to be, About 3,000 young cows are produced each year, and eventually about 2,500 live. The cows are usually raised for five years and give birth to three litters. The bulls are sold as beef cattle for fattening, except for breeding.”

“On average, 2,500 cattle are sold each year to maintain the stock of 5,000 cattle.” Wang Zongwei said eloquently, “Among them, 2,000 young beef cattle can be sold for about 10,000 dry gold, and the remaining 500 cattle After reproductive age, cows and culled breeding cattle can only be sold for 1,500 dry gold. Under normal circumstances, the average annual gross income from selling cattle is 11,500 dry gold.”

“Tianhong Ranch has 30,000 sheep, including 3,000 young sheep. Every year, 3,000 culled sheep are sold to maintain the population. This income is 3,000 dry gold, and the annual wool output is 1,500 dan. The price of each load is five dry gold, and the income is seven thousand five hundred dry gold.”

“There are 1,000 horses. This income is not fixed. If you cultivate high-quality war horses, it will be expensive. Usually, the average annual income is 3,000 dry gold.”

“In addition, there are ten spirit horn yaks, usually one can breed a year. According to the annual sale of one, it is two thousand dry gold. The spirit horn yaks are very large, about five or six thousand catties. Huangfu Shi usually keeps it for himself~”

“In addition, the 30,000 acres of pastures and the 80 acres of spiritual fields used to grow spiritual alfalfa belong to the internal consumption of the pastures.”

“Therefore, the average gross income that can be generated every year is about 27,000 dry gold. In addition, other feeds need to be purchased, and the herdsmen’s expenses are about 8,000 dry gold. Therefore, the original annual gross profit of Tianhong Ranch is about 1 Eighty-nine thousand dry gold.”

Wang Shouzhe nodded as he listened, it seemed that Wang Zongwei was still working hard, and he had already started to do it so quickly.

However, the Tianhong Ranch was auctioned at a discount of 170,000 dry gold at the beginning. Even if Wang Shouzhe had a part of the premium, the purchase price of this Tianhong Ranch alone did not exceed 200,000 dry gold.

In a sense, Wang Shouzhe took a huge advantage in this wave.

However, the valuation of the breeding industry is usually relatively low. After all, if the cattle and sheep are not well raised, the risk is still quite large.

“How about cow’s dairy products?” Wang Shouzhe asked.

“The milk produced by the cows is either supplied to the calf, or a small amount is supplied to the Huangfu clan nearby.” Wang Zongwei said, “Most of the rest are made into dry cheese by the herdsmen as one of their own grains. Some of them will also be sold to Changningwei, but they are not worth the money, Fourth Uncle, you know, many people are not used to the taste, so it can only be used as a subsidy for herdsmen.”

Wang Shouzhe nodded in his heart. Dairy products are not popular in this world, and the main problem is the lack of scale and difficulty in preservation.

Fresh milk is too perishable, and pasteurization has not yet existed in this world.

But families also know that dairy products are good for children’s growth.

Therefore, in aristocratic farms like the Wang family, a small amount of cattle and sheep will be raised, occasionally supplying young people.

Most of the civilians in this world basically have no chance to enjoy dairy products.

Even dry cheese doesn’t last long, and the taste is generally unacceptable.

In the world before Wang Shouzhe crossed over, dairy products were a huge industry.

Even Wang Shouzhe was slightly moved.

Because of one of the most difficult problems – the problem of sealed packaging and transportation after sterilization, you can use taller glass bottles!

Of course, dairy is just an added value.

Wang Shouzhe paid more attention to the growth of the pasture. He drank the spirit tea and asked, “Zongwei, tell me about the pasture.”

“Tianhong Ranch is 30,000 mu of pasture, which can produce about 450,000 hay hay per year. Each hay hay can be sold for 30 cents of copper. The total value of UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com is about 6,000 hay. Gold, but these dry pastures are not enough. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize a batch of hay fodder from Xingwang Farm, as well as a large amount of soybean dregs after the soybean oil produced by Qianma Farm. The value of this batch of materials must also be more than 5,000 dry gold. ”

Wang Shouzhe nodded and said: “That is to say, the forage and food that cattle, sheep and horses actually eat in a year, plus spirit grass, etc., also need the value of 10,000 thousands of dry gold. Raising cattle, sheep and horses is just a matter of consuming this amount of money. The value is amplified.”

“It can be said that.” Wang Zongwei nodded and explained, “But these prices are the prices sold to the Huangfu family ranch, mainly because the distance there is close, after all, it is the relationship between the main family branch. If it is sold to other Wei, the transportation price will be higher. Higher, it is not very cost-effective in general. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to sell it to Huangfu before, or to convert it into meat and wool.”

“The feed produced by the former three major pastoral farms is greater than its own consumption, and the excess will be supplied to the Huangfu family.”

“Hehe~” Wang Shouzhe nodded, “Whether it’s selling calves, beef cattle, or wool and horses. The bottom line is the issue of growing feed. As long as the yield per mu of feed is higher and more nutritious. Then we produce beef cattle, wool, and horses at a lower cost.”

Speaking of this matter, Wang Zongwei was also excited: “Fourth Uncle, you are so reasonable, some old herdsmen said that the cattle and sheep prefer to eat the newly planted alfalfa, and the amount of alfalfa per acre is better. The output will be 70% higher than the original.”
