Yun Chao had already warned Luo Zhiyuan before about how to maximize the use of the Ma family's dark materials.
In less than two days, a series of colorful big-character posters were released.
"The Story That Cai Xianggong and His One-Sight Bridges Have to Tell"
"Two or Three Past Events of Cai Xianggong's Concubine"
"On the Relationship between Cai Xianggong and the Green Turtle"
"Cai Xianggong's Indescribable Special Hobby"
…
The big-character posters not only have words, but also colorful illustrations, all of which are hand-painted. Although the painting skills are average and even a little ugly, it doesn't matter, as long as you know what's going on.
There were hundreds of such big-character posters in total. After reading them, Yun Chao expressed his satisfaction. He called Wu Er and asked him to take a few people to Tokyo Prefecture and post the big-character posters in every corner of Bianliang City. .
The boys under Yun Chao had hardly traveled far. Without Wu Er, an old Jianghu, Yun Chao really didn't dare to let them go to the capital.
After Wu Er led his people to set off, Yun Chao stopped paying attention to Feng Lelou.
Since I sent the letter out, I will wait for a while, and it should be relatively quiet recently.
During this period of time, Lao Ma Leg will not take the initiative to go against Yun Chao, and Feng Le Building will operate honestly.
After riding a horse around the city and feeling the increasingly prosperous cityscape, Yun Chao expressed his satisfaction.
Prices are stable, taxes are reasonable, and public security is good. What else can the people be dissatisfied about? Most of them have smiles on their faces.
Only when people feel at ease can they have the courage to consume, go out to work with peace of mind, and have the so-called sense of happiness and gain.
Just like some enterprises in later generations, when in public hands, they suffered losses every year and were unable to make ends meet. However, once in private hands, even if personnel and policies are not adjusted much, as long as there is a little strengthening of supervision, losses can be turned into profits immediately. Where can I go to reason?
Feeling that the city was almost managed, Yun Chao prepared to go back to Wolong Village.
He still has a lot of things to do. The reason why he focused on developing the armed forces in the past was because he couldn't free up his hands for construction.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, Yun Chao has the time and mood to pursue his major.
After returning to Wolong Village, he first talked to Lin Youniang for a while, and then dealt with some questions raised by several women. Only then did Yun Chao find a few carpenters and ask them to make a batch of large wooden boxes.
Yun Chao is preparing to raise earthworms.
As a quasi-doctorate from the Agricultural University, Yun Chao knows that there are many ways to raise earthworms.
There are pond culture, breeding bed culture, tank culture, pot culture, as well as box and basket culture, etc.
There are also trench farming, garden and field farming, semi-basement farming, cellar farming, etc.
Yunchao plans to use box-type three-dimensional farming.
Just stack flat boxes one by one on the shelf. The advantage of this method is that it can save space, facilitate management, and improve breeding efficiency.
Earthworms have many functions. They can improve soil, increase fertility, and can also be used as medicine. They are commonly known as earthworms.
However, these are not Yunchao's main purposes for raising earthworms. He raises earthworms mainly for feed.
That's right, as a quasi-doctorate from the Agricultural University, how could he not use his expertise to raise chickens and ducks, which is the key project that Yunchao plans to launch next.
Don’t underestimate side businesses such as raising chickens, ducks and livestock. Once done, you can make more money than traditional farming.
Yunchao engages in agricultural planting not to make money, but to ensure his own food supply.
However, side businesses such as breeding are purely for making money.
Of course, while making money, improving your diet is just a side matter.
If Yunchao's experiment of raising earthworms is successful, he is planning to raise not only chickens and ducks, but also pigs and fish.
Making wooden boxes is child's play for carpenters. In less than two days, about a hundred flat wooden boxes one meter long, fifty centimeters wide and more than thirty centimeters high were completed.
Of course, the dimensions mentioned here were converted by Yun Chao into later units for ease of understanding. Otherwise, it would sound awkward to say a few feet, a few inches, a few millimeters or centimeters.
Once the terrarium is done, the rest of the work is easy.
Yun Chao asked people to dig some soil suitable for earthworm growth from the waterside, then add a certain amount of sawdust, then get some dead branches and leaves, and finally mix it with rice water, and it was all ready.
Next, it’s time to catch earthworms.
Spring is coming, flowers are blooming, everything is coming back to life, and it’s the mating season for animals again.
The earthworms that have been hiding underground for the whole winter are beginning to move around. The air is filled with the smell of hormones, stimulating the earthworms...
Uh, I got the wrong script. Earthworms seem to be hermaphrodites.
However, hermaphrodites are hermaphrodites, but the way earthworms reproduce is mostly cross-fertilization.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being ready to move as mentioned above. Earthworms still need to be shameless in order to give birth to babies.
Yun Chao gave an order, and most of the children in Wolong Village went out.
They were digging for earthworms everywhere in the fields and beside ditches.
At this time, the earthworms near Wolong Village are unlucky. Sitting at home behind closed doors, disasters come from the sky, wives and children are separated, families are destroyed, and it is terrible to see!
While catching earthworms, Yun Chao also started preparing to raise chickens.
The construction of the chicken coop was child's play for Yunchao. Under his guidance, it was completed in a few days.
In ancient times, it was not a simple matter to raise chickens on a large scale. Just how to hatch chickens would deter most people.
Yunchao plans to adopt the simplest, most natural, greenest and pollution-free incubation method in the world - the old hen nesting method.
Well, to breed chickens, other than using old hens to make nests, Yun Chao, a quasi-doctorate from the Agricultural University who had lived in two lifetimes, had nothing to do.
With the technological means of the Dawu Dynasty, even Yunchao could not obtain chicks quickly and efficiently by artificially hatching eggs.
Yun Chao knew many ways to incubate eggs in soil, but there was one thing he couldn't solve: there was no thermometer.
Whether incubating with water or using a kang, a constant temperature is indispensable.
Without a thermometer, just relying on experience and feeling it with your hands will not work for anyone, let alone Yunchao.
When hatching eggs, even a temperature difference of one or two degrees is not enough. The human body's receptors are not that sensitive. Even if it can be felt, it cannot be felt so accurately every time.
If there is any mistake and the temperature rises too high, all the chicks will be stillborn and burned to death.
No matter how wealthy Yun Chao is, he can't afford the loss of an ultra-low hatching rate. Without a thermometer, artificial egg hatching is a joke.
Straight bitch!
Yun Chao was so worried that he scratched his head.
You can't just make a thermometer out of glass, right?
He knew the general theory of making glass, but to put the theory into practice, it was not just a matter of touching the upper lip to the lower lip.
It's so hard for me.
It's almost life-threatening for me to climb the technology tree by myself, isn't it?
