Chen Xi was somewhat unable to bear it. Compared to the growth problem caused by the changes in the sky, the explosion in the Hall of Heroes directly killed the stock, which was really too much.
The Han Dynasty now has more than 20 large ranches with a total of about three million bullocks. According to the number of cattle slaughtered, it can produce about 300,000 cattle a year. However, because the people of the Han Dynasty are one-twentieth of those of later generations, the Han Dynasty The average consumption of meat, such as beef, is less than one-tenth of that of later generations.
There is no way. Later generations are importing meat from all over the world. As long as the meat is of good quality and large quantity, the Chinese emperors are working hard to import it. But these days, the Han Dynasty can only eat their own beef.
But even at this level, it can be regarded as the highest meat consumption in the world. After all, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps are not considered meat. If they are really counted as meat, only large animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs are counted. Han Dynasty is definitely the current meat. The one that consumes the most on average.
However, this is not the limit of the Han Dynasty. In Chen Xi's words, let me see the limit of the prairie, and then all the grassland areas such as Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and Northern Xinjiang will be classified as pasture. According to the output ratio, it should It can feed 7 million cattle and produce 700,000 cattle annually.
In addition to the fact that more than 10 million to 20 million sheep and nearly 10 million pigs can be slaughtered every year, the meat supply of the Han Dynasty should be almost able to catch up with the level of later generations. After all, the land is vast and the people are sparse. You can afford this kind of super large ranch and super large farm.
Of course, to have such a big Han Dynasty, you must continuously draw feed grains from Southeast Asia. It is most likely not possible to rely solely on the forage in northern Xinjiang.
It's not that there aren't so many places to grow grass, but that the calories contained in grass are too much lower than refined grains, and the time cost of investment will drag down the Han Dynasty herdsmen to death, so they work hard to develop the feudal country and buy more fish-adulterated food from Southeast Asia. Bone meal refined grain is the way to go in animal husbandry.
Originally, Chen Xiyuanfeng's nine-year plan was to hit the cattle stock of 3.3 million. By the time the second five-year plan was completed, it exceeded the quota by 20% and completed the second five-year plan with a cattle stock of about 3.8 million. Stock quantity.
After all, this thing is an indicator, and compared to sheep and pigs, big animals like cattle are treated better than ordinary people these days. In an era without Chen Xi, the county magistrate would have to come and see if the cow had died. What's going on? Now that Chen Xi is here, although it's not so exaggerated, the number of bullocks still has a stocking quota.
That was clearly written in the Second Five-Year Plan and was one of the key assessment indicators. As a result, what is happening now.
Before, it was not just Chen Xi who cared about the altars, but Chen Xi knew very well what would happen if he mobilized an army to conduct screening at various ranches in northern Xinjiang.
Just look at the veterans who hang out in the pastures of Northern Xinjiang. This sheep looks lethargic, so kill it and eat it; this sheep eats too much, so kill it and eat it; this sheep dares to eat grass this year, will it eat it next year? People, you have to take defensive strikes first and take the blame.
This is how the Beidi Ranch loses two thousand cattle a year, but Chen Xi thinks that if cattle and sheep are not allowed to eat cattle and sheep, then they must be beasts?
Therefore, he has always turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior. As long as it does not cause a percentage loss in the accounts, Chen Xi will pretend that he does not know about it.
But if troops were deployed to screen, the number of accidental killings would be too many.
That is basically equivalent to opening the door and letting this group of people slaughter them. The ones with problems will definitely die, and some of the non-problems will also die. Chen Xi estimates that there are currently close to three million cattle. Let this group of people screen them to see if they can be left. Two and a half million is good.
This is not an exaggeration at all, so Chen Xi has been hesitating before.
As a result, after the incident at Shandan Army Racecourse, Chen Xi realized that the loss of screening may be smaller. Although other legions will not directly take away 50% of you like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, leaving you with only some minors. Basically all cattle, horses, breeding animals, and adult cattle and horses are taken away, but this group of people will take away a third of them for you without any problem.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, initiating screening before the problem breaks out is considered insurance. This will cover the loss of 20%, and if problems still occur after screening, the screening army will have to do follow-up work. Of course, if There was no problem in the first place, but it was all in vain.
However, for things like insurance, the larger the base, the closer it will be to the calculated value. Chen Xi is equivalent to giving
If tens of millions of cattle, sheep, and pigs are insured, there is a high probability that the loss will be very close to a fixed value, which will be much smaller than the loss of gambling on luck. This is the meaning of mathematics.
"Then who will perform the screening now?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and asked. Since Chen Xi nodded, he must at least give Chen Xi the face to choose first.
"Let Principal Zhu organize the manpower. This batch of students from Taixue will accompany them as military attaches. You can divide the rest." Chen Xi glanced at Zhuge Liang and said.
Chen Xi himself also knew that this was a bad thing for any army that performed screening. Every large ranch had millions of cattle and sheep. During the screening, even if it was not rough and a little tight, it would still be within a reasonable range. Can produce two hundred thousand cattle, sheep and pigs.
"That's okay." Zhuge Liang nodded and let Zhu Jun divide it, which was actually the best. After all, Zhu Jun also led his army north to the pasture to train troops every summer when he had nothing to do. He had done this kind of thing himself and knew how to divide it. If it were Liu Bei, the palms and backs of his hands would be difficult to deal with.
"Well, all I can say is don't go too far. Of course, I won't express any opinions on this matter if it is too much, but you will feel it when the time comes." Chen Xi thought about it and gave it a warning, but Even if he doesn't send an army there, the army's work will still be as rough as the Xiliang people.
"Don't worry, it won't exceed 25%." Li You said confidently.
"Anyway, you can figure it out for yourself. I won't say anything. For someone as strong as Wenru, I won't say anything." Chen Xi nodded in the direction of Li You. "Anyway, Yuanfeng's ten-year cattle inventory quota is three hundred. One hundred thousand, you just have to know it in your mind."
"I remember that when the New Year's meeting was held this year, there were already 2.96 million bullocks in stock?" Zhuge Liang added casually. The others glanced at Chen Xi and roughly understood why Chen Xi was resentful, but this can't still meet the target. ? Don’t panic.
"Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. Remember to send more orders to Northern Europe and ask General Huangfu to destroy them all for me." Chen Xi said in a stern tone, but when he mentioned the Nordic shadow world, he still gritted his teeth. mean.
"No problem, no problem, leave it all to us." Fazheng said cheerfully, "Then I'll give you the whole good news."
"What's the good news?" Chen Xi asked casually.
"Meng Combo's pirate plan has completely collapsed." Fazheng said with a smile.
"On the other hand, our fish and meat production will decline this year?" Chen Xi said angrily. A fifth-generation ship can be capsized, which is indeed beyond Chen Xi's estimate.
"Probably not. Mi Zifang, the director of the East China Sea Distant Ocean Fisheries Department, made a deal with Zhou Gongjin and was willing to support Zhou Gongjin with a group of outstanding fishing workers, but asked Governor Zhou to give them the priority of withdrawing the seventh-generation ship from the Distant Ocean Fisheries Department. ." Fazheng explained casually.
Chen Xi was silent for a while, then recalled it, and finally found the relevant content from a very remote corner of his memory.
The Distant Ocean Fisheries Department is a large-scale fishery bureau that begins with the Chinese character "国". It has the responsibility of training naval forces. Therefore, the fishing boats and warships of the Fisheries Department are basically the same, and because they are something that begins with the Chinese character "国", they can be equipped with weapons.
Its armaments belong to the navy and are under the jurisdiction of Gan Ning, the navy chief. When the Fisheries Department was divided from Chen Xi and decentralized, it was handed over to the navy's general logistics, and the navy's general logistics was Mi Fang, so Mi Fang and Zhou Yu discussed this issue. If so, there seems to be no problem.
"That's it, we can roughly understand what's going on." Chen Xi nodded and said.
Without the enlightenment of all creatures around the world caused by the fragmentation of the Hall of Valor, it is unlikely that the Fisheries Department will eliminate the fifth-generation ships that are still the mainstream of the fishing industry, and naturally there will be no need to upgrade them.
Although the ships used by the Fisheries Department are exactly the same as those used by the Navy, the Navy has absolute priority. In fact, the ships used by the Fisheries Department are all eliminated by the Navy.
For example, when Zhou Yu fought with Selian for his life, a bunch of castrated seventh-generation ships were beaten into tatters. Although they could be repaired, they would definitely not be as good as new ships in all aspects after repair. Zhou Yu, who was wealthy at the time, naturally turned the tattered old ships into tatters. The ship was sold to Dongnae Shipyard at a discount, replaced with a new ship and sailed away. Later, Lu Jun and others repaired the old ship and resold it to the Donghae Fisheries Department.
, make another fortune.
Just like this, Dongnae Shipyard, which can collect scrapped ships at a 30% discount, can earn money to build a ship. This is the value of technology.
Incidentally, this is also the reason why Zhou Yu wanted to get some second-rate technology from Donglai when he had nothing to do. It is also the reason why Chen Xi thought that he could not build a real battleship in the early years and still invested money. After all, this technology is constantly innovating.
It’s a pity that the Hall of Valor in Northern Europe has exploded. Creatures all over the world have the possibility of being enlightened. The number of animals in the sea is extremely large, and naturally there are more enlightened animals. And compared to those beasts on land that are relatively easy to deal with, the animals in the sea are relatively easy to deal with. The beast is really difficult to deal with.
As a result, the development efficiency of intelligent animals in the sea is much higher than that of terrestrial animals. As a result, the distant-water fishing vessels used by the East China Sea Distant Fisheries Department have suffered a large number of attacks, and the fifth-generation ships have suffered heavy losses in such attacks.
For the sake of personnel safety and fishing efficiency, we can only eliminate the fifth-generation ships at this time and move to the sixth-generation ships, or even directly move to the seventh-generation ships. After all, even the castrated seventh-generation ships use the cloud gas storage technology obtained from Kushan. After that, it can also kill the ferocious beasts in the sea.
After all, seventh-generation ships can really install turrets. Even if they are reluctant to use the essence of heaven and earth to etch electromagnetic crossbows, the permanent super-heavy etched crossbows can still kill world-breaking beasts.
Therefore, after switching to the seventh-generation ship, the Ocean Fisheries Department can default to the same as the previous version. Essentially, when you evolve, I also evolve, which means that no one has evolved. Mi Fang actually has the same attitude. With this idea.
As for Chen Xi and Zhou Yu's agreement to mobilize skilled sailors from the Ocean Fisheries Department as navy soldiers, they have agreed on a direction, but they have not yet discussed how to implement it.
Although Chen Xi doesn't mind being cheated by Zhou Yu on this matter, after all, the empire's sea territory is still very important. Without the background board, the Kushan Navy becomes real. Chen Xi also has a big head, but Mi Fang is different. Mi Fang still has to think about it. How should I, the general logistics of the Navy, operate?
Others would not be able to get this information and would not be able to argue with Zhou Yu, but Mi Fang is different. This guy is actually a veteran of Liu Bei's family, and he has also penetrated into the core of the Naval Group. Now Zhou Yu and Mi Fang are calling sailors from the Fisheries Department. When discussing the issue, Zhou Yu really couldn't argue.
Zhou Yu's intention to engage in prostitution was very clear, but he couldn't explain it to Mi Fang. Zhou Yu's intelligence information in the navy might be able to fool Chen Xi, who didn't care much, but it was absolutely impossible to fool Mi Fang. Mi Fang was the general logistics officer of the navy. !
This was embarrassing, so the two of them started fighting each other. Until now, according to Fazheng's estimation, Mi Fang can get at least half of the priority rights for seventh-generation ships. That is, if twenty-four seventh-generation ships are launched into the sea, Mi Fang will Twelve of them can be taken in the order of 1, 3, 5, and 7.
As for Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu will probably take the remaining twelve ships in the order of 2, 4, 6, and 8. This is because of Chen Xi's promise, otherwise this ship will most likely become a seventh-generation ship.
According to Fazheng's estimation, after Mi Fang changes the ship, the fishery department's catch this year will not see a significant decline, and Mi Fang will most likely not dismantle the armaments already installed on this batch of warships. After all, there is a real reason to use fishing boats Mounted naval guns.
Of course, even if Zhou Yu reported this matter to the Political Yuan, it would not solve any problem. Chen Xi did not want to maintain two navies at the same time, more to maintain trust, and even sent Gan Ning to the Jiangdong Navy, just to maintain The Xia are one and trust each other.
But now there is a clear reason that can be taken. If Fazheng and others are not stupid, they will not let it go.
With two huge navies at the same time, as long as they can afford it, they can maintain stability on the sea frontiers even if they encounter unexpected events like before.
The current turmoil of the ocean beasts is a reason for the East China Sea Fisheries Department.
Even if it is listed as the Fisheries Department, as long as it can operate seventh-generation ships to attack ferocious beasts at sea, and can maintain a huge sea area suppression force on a regular basis, it really doesn't matter whether it is called a navy. This is what it wants anyway. share of strength.
"Just let them continue talking." Chen Xi understood what was going on after a moment's thought. If it were for other reasons, he might have stopped him, but for this kind of absolutely legitimate reason, Chen Xi would naturally turn a blind eye.
"The current biggest threat to our maritime territory has been eliminated by Meng Combo, and the fleet recovery should be slowed down." Guo Jia thought for a while and suggested, "Even if there are skilled sailors, it is better to train more."
