Chapter 74: Ideas for Building a Breeding Farm (Part 1)
"Doesn't that mean that everyone no longer has to worry about food in the future?" Ying Zheng said.
"Of course, but you still have to save what should be saved and not waste it." Qin An said. “So, I will also use the wheat husks and turn them into breeding feed.
Therefore, I suggest raising some pigs, chickens and ducks in the village. This is also one of the ways to make a fortune.
When I was free, I checked the surroundings. Although Zhaojia Village is surrounded by mountains, it seems to be a large valley, but it has everything it should have.
There are salt mines, land, rivers, even mountain spring water, and ores such as iron ore. This place is simply a paradise.
Unfortunately, there is no technology and the quality of life is not high. Therefore, if we want to change the status quo, the current solution is to let the villagers live a good life.
The first thing to do is to eat. Don’t just eat beans, rice, brown rice, rice porridge, etc.
We need to make sure that the villagers have meat in their meals. Even if they can’t eat rice every day, they can still make pasta and the like. "
Ying Zheng immediately became interested and said, "Sir, is there any solution?"
"Yes." Qin An said, "First of all, the villagers must set up a breeding farm to raise pigs, chickens, ducks, and fish.
Especially fish. I found that many villagers have night blindness, which means they cannot see clearly at night. It can be prevented by eating more fish and meat.
If it is temporary, it can be cured, so the breeding industry must develop as soon as possible. "
Li Si, who was listening attentively on the side, frowned slightly and said: "Sir, I can understand raising chickens and ducks. But pork is not delicious at all, and he eats a lot of it, more than people eat, and it is not as good as pork. Everyone eats the same food.
It is also difficult to manage, and fights between pigs are often found, sometimes over sows, sometimes over food.
Therefore, raising pigs is not cost-effective at all. "
"Pork doesn't taste good because the pigs you raise are missing a procedure." Qin An said with a smile.
"What procedure?" Li Si asked.
"Haha..." Qin An showed a wicked smile, "Just castrate those boars."
"Castrated boar?" Li Si was shocked.
Ying Zheng also looked at Qin An curiously. He had heard of eunuchs. There were people like this everywhere around him, but he had never heard of castrations. This was something that he had never thought about.
And, doesn’t this sound a little too cruel?
Qin An nodded and said: "Yes. Generally, pig farms will leave a few breeding animals. The pigs are not castrated, and the rest have been castrated.
The reason for this is very simple. Let the pig stop thinking and only know how to eat and sleep every day. If he eats after sleeping, he can gain weight quickly and can usually be slaughtered in half a year.
A pig can be raised to 150 kilograms in half a year, and a hundred pigs can equal 15,000 kilograms of meat. There are also many pigs in the water, which are all delicacies.
Moreover, castrated pigs are easier to manage, because without that thing, they will be quieter and more docile, and there will be no fights at all.
Also, the quality of castrated pork is better, and the meat tastes more delicious without the muttony smell of pork.
Therefore, outside, all the big pig farmers are making a lot of money.
Also, manure is the best fertilizer to fertilize fields.
Raising chickens and ducks allows them to lay eggs, eat chicken and duck eggs, and chicken and duck meat. Chicken feces can be used as fish feed.
I hope you'll consider it. "
Ying Zheng pondered for a while and said: "No problem. I will immediately ask someone to buy some pigs, chickens and ducks."
"Buy all chickens and ducklings. As for pigs, the best thing to buy is piglets that are only seven days old, because the best time to castrate piglets is five to ten days old, and seven days is the best." Qin An said.
"Li Si, please quickly arrange this matter and find someone who can castrate pigs." Ying Zheng said.
"No." Li Si went down to make arrangements.
"Village Chief, let me take you to see the breeding farm I'm interested in." Li Feng said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng responded.
Immediately, Qin An took Ying Zheng to a place nearly a thousand meters away from the villagers' residential area. The terrain here is high, the ventilation is good, the drainage is convenient, and it is relatively open.
"Village Chief, this is the place I chose. Look here, it is backed by a mountain. It is in an open area and the terrain is high. It is very suitable for building a breeding farm." Qin An said, pointing to a large open space under the mountain.
Ying Zheng looked at the empty land and said, "What are you going to do, sir?"
"First of all, I will build the road from the village to here. I have looked around everywhere when I have nothing to do. In fact, Zhaojia Village is very big. I think it is not like a village, but like a small town.
It's just that the road to the outside of the village is really bad. It's the worst road in my opinion. But it doesn't matter. With cement, we can build the road. "Qin An said.
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat. This guy has always wanted to build roads. This is the rhythm he has always wanted to go back to.
Qin An was thinking that after the road was repaired, he could buy a lot of things outside, especially his mobile phone could be charged.
"Sir, let's talk about road construction later. The villages outside have lost contact with the outside world for so long. It's still a bit difficult to accept the outside world all at once," Ying Zheng said.
Qin An thought about it and realized that it was right. Let them change from the Qin Dynasty's thoughts to modern thoughts all at once. The jump was too big and I'm afraid they couldn't accept it.
Suddenly, Qin An seemed to understand the real reason why the leader sent him here.
This is to let him teach the villagers modern culture and let them slowly accept that more than two thousand years have passed and their Great Qin has perished.
Suddenly cold sweat ran down Qin An's back. As soon as he arrived here, he told them that Ying Zheng was dead, Great Qin was destroyed, and Ying Zheng was dead. Wasn't this a curse on them.
Fortunately, the village chief was open-minded, otherwise he might have died without even knowing how many times.
At this time, Qin An began to complain to the leader, why he didn't explain the actual situation clearly. No wonder he was hesitant to speak at the time, and he just kept promising that he would be well treated after returning.
Thinking about it now, I was worried that I would not dare to come after knowing the situation in the village.
I'm afraid I am the only one who agrees.
"Sir, why didn't you say anything? We still need to do something special next?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin An came back to his senses and said awkwardly: "Village, if you don't like it, we won't build a breeding farm or raise any pigs."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Is it because I didn't let you build the road?
If so, please forgive me sir. It’s not that I won’t let you repair it. It’s just that the road is too bad. Once the road is built, a lot of manpower and material resources will be invested.
The village cannot afford it, and once the villagers know the situation outside, I am afraid that something bad will happen to the village.
But if the gentleman wants to build a road from the village to here, that is completely feasible.
After just building the road, what next? "
