The snowmobile arrived at the Animal Husbandry Department, and a silver-plated gold-edged flag fluttered beside the carriage.
Those who can assume the important guard duties of various divisions in Liao are all heroes who have retired from the army.
These people are extremely familiar with this banner.
"Line up—!"
Animal Husbandry Department Gate.
A powerful and concise command sounded.
Brush brush brush.
Just a few breaths.
A queue of fifty-one people was assembled at the door.
Bang bang——
A neat chest caressing ceremony, this is the respect shown from the chest for the fist to the gun.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Qi got out of the car and came to the front of the group of veterans. Not one of them was full body.
Shao Er Shao Eye only had minor injuries, and most of them lost their palms or simply lost their arms.
"good!"
"My energy and spirit have not dropped! They are all good men!"
Compared with meeting those officials and dealing with these big-headed soldiers, the smile on Zhang Qi's face was sincere.
He was able to get to this day because of these people who were there to accompany him and shed their blood.
"Once a soldier, always a soldier. Your Majesty's teachings will never be forgotten by us for the rest of our lives!"
The leader, the one who just gave the order, replied with excitement.
Almost all those who have followed Zhang Qi into battle and fought in battle regard him as a true god.
No matter how difficult the situation is, as long as this flag comes, it means that they have won this war.
And in front of them, the backbone who leads them to be invincible and invincible is the king in front of them!
"Formerly the Thirteenth School of the Eagle Attack Army, Commander of Sanqu and Second Tunnel, pay my respects to the general!"
"Soldiers from the 13th School of the Eagle Attack Army, Sanqu Ertun, pay homage to the general!"
"Meet the general!"
".Meet the General!"
Earlier, they were paying homage to the king, but now, they were paying homage to the general they had been following.
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up. It's cold. It's not good if you get cold. Get up quickly."
Zhang Qi looked at these veterans and was filled with emotion in his heart. To say that the most loyal of his men, except for the wolf cubs and the important ministers who had been sent to the spiritual point, the ones who served him wholeheartedly without any external force were the ones in the army. of the soldiers.
this.
This is all the prestige and military morale he has built by taking the lead in many battles.
Behind him, dozens of shadow guards stepped forward under Zhang Qi's instruction to help the veterans up.
They are said to be veterans, but the oldest among them is only thirty years old.
"Go to the car and distribute the drinks to everyone. But if you want to drink, you have to wait until afternoon. If you drink while on duty, I don't need to say more about the consequences."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Qi gave instructions to the shadow guards, and then turned back to the current guards of the Animal Husbandry Department.
"I know, Your Majesty, I will drink on duty and lead the army with a hundred sticks. We will memorize the regulations every day."
The leader replied with a smile.
Zhang Qi laughed.
"Hahaha, it's good to know that if you are my soldiers for one day, then this military law will be with you for the rest of your life."
"Do you regret it?"
After saying that, the smile on Zhang Qi's face faded a lot.
The fifty-one people in front of the door all touched their chests and knocked.
"No regrets!"
"No regrets!"
"No regrets!"
There was so much commotion in front of the Animal Husbandry Department, so naturally it couldn't be hidden from the clerks inside.
As early as Zhang Qi asked the veterans to get up, he saw a large number of clerks waiting aside. However, he saw Zhang Qi reminiscing with the veterans and did not dare to come forward to disturb them.
"Disband!"
After the shadow guards distributed all the drinks in the car to keep out the cold to the veterans, Zhang Qi waved his hand.
Even if these veterans are retired, they have not forgotten this iron law in the army.
After the sound of disbandment, they returned to their respective posts.
After waving, Zhang Qi walked towards the building of the Animal Husbandry Department.
The buildings built outside the city are all concrete structures with bamboo reinforcements. Each building is three stories high. The Animal Husbandry Department occupies a large area. A three-story building with one column facing back can cover enough space. There are as many as fourteen buildings,
This is because the Animal Husbandry Department is responsible for the selection and breeding of various types of livestock and poultry in Liaoning. Thirteen of these fourteen buildings are occupied by animals instead of department staff.
Upon receiving Zhang Qi's call, Cheng Xianyao, acting director of the Department of Animal Husbandry, walked a few steps quickly and came to Zhang Qi's side.
"Greetings to you, Your Majesty. May you pay your respects."
"Um."
"Your director hasn't come back yet?"
"No, the director is fully committed to the work of improving male breeds. At the end of last year, he heard that a new horse-like population was discovered around the Deer Shepherd tribe, so he took more than 20 staff there."
While walking towards the Animal Husbandry Department building, Cheng Xianyao talked about the whereabouts of their director.
Of course, Zhang Qi naturally knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have asked them if the director was back in the first sentence.
"Well, I am pragmatic. I went to the fertilizer factory in the morning. I was very satisfied with the output there, so I made a temporary decision to come over and see how the Animal Husbandry Department, which can provide so much livestock manure, is developing now."
"They are all your Majesty's wise warriors. The Animal Husbandry Department has gradually grown in the past nine years. Nowadays, in various internal breeding farms and private free-range breeding, the number of livestock in Liao has already exceeded 10 million and reached 100 million."
"Oh, so many?!"
Hearing the clear numbers, even Zhang Qi couldn't help but shout in surprise.
"There are some, and there are only a lot more. There are detailed records in the Animal Husbandry Department. Every household has a record of how many chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs they have."
"Okay, okay, I understand, let's make arrangements. I'm going to visit the cattle, sheep and pig farms in Liaodi."
There is no need to worry too much about whether the number is exaggerated.
In fact, considering the current size of Liao Land, Zhang Qi believed that there were so many beasts.
The permanent population of Liaoning alone is around 1.7 million, and including the surrounding towns and villages, the total population is approximately 3 to 4 million.
With such a large number of people, the amount of meat required is indispensable. Coupled with Zhang Qiding's support policy for animal breeding, almost everyone in Liao land has the habit of raising animals in their homes.
After all, the output of their fields per mu is there. The output of the fields per mu in a year is not only enough for food, but also for feeding. Now the output of the fields per mu in Liaodi is not just food.
Plants that carry grain growth are high-quality green storage materials. As long as some fine grains are mixed in, the income from selling the chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs raised is real.
As for whether the market has digested it, we have to talk about the grain reserve policy set by Zhang Qi.
Liao land is bitterly cold, but bitter cold also has the advantage of bitter cold, that is, it is rich in natural ice.
With enough ice, enough ice cellars can be built, and deep-frozen frozen meat can be kept for two or three years. This is a precautionary measure.
Almost eight percent of Liao's meat output is purchased by the government for reserves every year.
The rest will be transported with the fleet of ships to other places that cannot produce enough meat for digestion, or even sold to Han Dynasty.
