Chinese people are most afraid of seriousness, especially the ruling class. Once they become serious, they are extremely cruel. (
At that time, after Qin Shihuang wiped out the six kingdoms, he still had time to build the Great Wall and dig straight roads connecting the country. He even built a huge fleet just for a personal fantasy to send Xu Fu and three thousand boys and girls out.
Overseas, embark on a long road to seek immortality.
Liu Che was the crown prince of the Han Dynasty.
When he was serious, the manpower and material resources he could mobilize were not as much as Qin Shihuang's fingers.
But it's still terrifying.
When Liu Che returned to the palace, he told the officials that he had issued a military order in front of the emperor.
The entire uterus went up and down like a clockwork machine, running efficiently.
In just three days, three plow horses used for plowing on behalf of the country and brand-new horse saddles were delivered to Sixian Garden, the prince's territory in Shanglin Garden.
Then, dozens of skilled blacksmiths, carpenters, and servants and servants who had managed local agriculture in Dai Kingdom came to Sixian Court to report - all of them were Zhou Yuan, Gu Zhenrou and the original few.
Collected by a minister who was dawdling around in Liu Che's place.
Zhou Yuan even got a hundred kilograms of steel as consumables for the experiment - God knows how he got it, anyway, Liu Che himself couldn't get a hundred kilograms of steel.
Therefore, now, the only way to get steel is by frying steel.
Even the Shaofu can only produce about 3,000 kilograms of steel after frying steel for a year. The princes and merchants in the world can produce more than 10,000 kilograms of steel at most.
Zhou Yuan, however, without blinking an eye, got Liu Che one hundred kilograms, equivalent to one percent of the country's steel production!
This left Liu Che a little stunned.
But considering that Zhou Yuan's father is the doctor Ling Zhou Ren, this matter seems understandable.
All in all, the entire palace was mobilized, and everyone was gearing up. It almost made Liu Che think he was witnessing a battle scene organized by the Celestial Empire in the 1960s and 1970s to solve a certain problem...
According to Zhang Tang, if the master humiliates his ministers and dies, the family will immediately issue a military order. How dare the ministers refuse to obey and die?
To put it in more straightforward terms, since we have boarded the prince's chariot, we can only advance without retreating.
The more successful Liu Che is, the greater the future prospects of the ministers around him now.
On the contrary, at least it may lead to dismissal, but at worst it may lead to the loss of one's family and one's life.
In any case, with the concerted efforts of the entire Taiwong system, it took only half a month for Yang Yi and his craftsmen to overcome the first problem of horse farming - the harness.
Another problem was quickly solved.
Liu Che asked Wang Dao to recruit Chu Qiang, a cattle master from Xingyang, to recommend a talent named Zhang Chi to Liu Che.
This person can't read a word, but he has one advantage, that is, he can train horses.
He knew the habits and habits of horses very well. Moreover, he was famous in Yan State for being good at looking at horses.
After recruiting Zhang Zhi, combined with Dai Guo's existing experience in horse training, Chu Qiang and Zhang Zhi soon jointly figured out how to make the horses obedient to plow the land, instead of sticking their hooves, making trouble everywhere, and passively striking.
.
Then, another question popped up.
The horse is trained and the harness is designed.
However, horses also have a disadvantage or advantage that is different from cattle.
Cows eat everything and have extremely strong digestion capabilities.
But horses are different.
Although this guy is stronger than an ox and plows the land faster than an ox, but...
It has to eat concentrated feed, even grain, or fine grain with high nutritional value, in order to achieve the same work efficiency as a cow...
Then, compared with cattle, horses can only be used in the north. In the rice field water network in the south, horses have no way to work in the mud!
This made Liu Che very worried.
At this time, Liu Che finally understood why horse plowing existed in China, but eventually disappeared. Most people and regions used cattle to plow the land.
The first is the issue of cost-effectiveness.
If you raise cattle, just feed them grass.
At most, when farming is busy, feed the cattle some tender grass with high nutritional value.
In winter, just use hay to deal with it, which is simple and easy.
And no matter north or south, paddy field or dry land, cattle can easily cope with it.
But horses are different.
She is picky about food, picks places, and is very delicate.
Without national encouragement, support or even subsidies, horse farming would never be popularized!
With no other choice, Liu Che could only sigh sadly and quietly change the horse plow from civilian use to military use and official use.
However, if only cattle are used, the number and popularity of cattle will obviously make it difficult to assume the main role of cultivated land in the next one or two decades and complete Liu Che's strategic vision of comprehensively popularizing cattle farming.
After several days of discussions, experiments and research.
Liu Che turned his attention to research on mules and silage feed.
Mules are a cross between a horse and a donkey and have an extensive history of domestication in China.
At this time, it is generally used as an animal to pull carts.
After experiments, the pulling power of mules is no worse than that of horses and oxen.
Moreover, mules are easier to train than horses.
The most important thing is that from an economic point of view, using mules is more cost-effective than horses and cheaper than cattle! Moreover, mules are not picky eaters and have excellent appetites. They do not need to eat very good feed, as long as it can satisfy the energy lost by their physical exertion.
That’s it.
Of course, the disadvantage of mules is that they cannot be bred and can only be produced by crossing horses and donkeys.
But it doesn’t matter. Currently, mules are widely used among the people. At least, mules are not uncommon in Guanzhong and Hedong!
In addition, studying silage feed was something Liu Che thought of under Ma Geng's stimulation.
In later generations, silage was the main source of feed for cattle and horses.
The Chinese government also supports and encourages farmers to use silage feed to raise cattle and sheep.
Liu Che was no stranger to this, because before time travel, he was the son of a farmer. He still remembered that the Celestial Empire had policies to provide technical and economic support to farmers who used green reserves, and even provided interest-free loans.
It's just that these benefits all ended up in the hands of the village party secretary and village cadres...
Ordinary farmers only know about such a thing, and everyone knows that it is impossible to apply for such support subsidies and discounts through individual application...
Therefore, Liu Che also knew that silage feed needed a cellar for fermentation.
As for how to ferment and how to do it, I don’t know anything.
But it doesn't matter. As a prince, what Liu Che lacks most is people and money.
And there are very few things in this world that cannot be accomplished with enough manpower and money.
Therefore, Chu Qiang and Zhang Zhi began to set aside a site in Shanglin Garden specifically to cultivate mules and cattle.
As for Yang Yi and other technicians, they dived into the big pit of studying green storage fermentation.
In this way, time passed bit by bit, and finally it came to December, and it started to snow in Chang'an.
On the Suiyang front line, the crucial decisive battle is imminent! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
