After the family got together for a short time, they all went to do their own things.
Zhu Chongba stayed at home for a while and found it boring. He went to graze cattle for the landlord Liu Fu's family.
His mind is quite confused now. He was interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't pay much attention to the matters of the Yuan Dynasty at that time!
It’s true that when the book is used, it will be less regrettable! This statement is not false at all. Zhu Chongba was thinking that the founder of the Yuan Dynasty was Genghis Khan! By the way, there is another one: Kublai Khan!
In addition, he remembered the names of some martial arts people, but the names of these people were all fictitious, and there were no such people in reality.
When he arrived at the landlord's house, Zhu Chongba met the housekeeper again and said, "Hello housekeeper, I'm back again."
The housekeeper was smoking a pipe. After Zhu Chongba said something, he pretended not to hear and kept smoking.
"Dear housekeeper, I'm back! I'm going out to feed the cows now!" Zhu Chongba said and was about to leave.
"Come back! Did I let you go? Tell me, what happened to you today? Are you having trouble with your brain?" the housekeeper looked at Zhu Chongba and said.
"I don't know what's wrong? It became like this this morning. I don't know what happened?" Zhu Chongba said.
"Okay, let's not mention this matter anymore. Whether you are crazy or stupid has nothing to do with me. As long as you take care of the cows, let's go! I will take you to the cattle farm." The steward said.
"Cattle farm? There is a cattle farm here?" Zhu Chongba asked in surprise.
"You are really stupid, you go there every day, don't you know? It's true!" the housekeeper sighed.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at a small hillside. There were many rows of wooden piles, and there was a cow on each wooden pile.
"You see! This is the cattle farm you used to come to every day." The steward said.
"I remembered, by the way, steward, I would like to ask why you raise so many cows?" Zhu Chongba said.
The housekeeper looked at Zhu Chongba again and said, "I really don't understand what happened to you? What you are asking now is not a question that a ten-year-old child can ask, but I am in a good mood now, so I can tell you It doesn’t matter, these are all for sale.”
"Does the government not care?" Zhu Chongba asked again.
"Of course I don't care! The government also encourages people to breed more and do more business." said the steward.
The steward's words suddenly woke up Zhu Chongba. He suddenly thought of someone. He was so excited that he shouted, "This is great!"
"You kid, you were so loud that you scared me! What's so great?" said the housekeeper.
"Thank you! Butler! I remembered how to feed the cows!" Zhu Chongba said.
"That's good! Just remember it! I'm leaving! Don't be lazy!" The housekeeper said and left.
Zhu Chongba just remembered a businessman. When the Ming Dynasty was established, this businessman was already extremely wealthy. Although he is not a wealthy man now, he is no longer an ordinary person.
However, Zhu Chongba looked at his little hands and feet again and put this idea in his heart. If Zhu Zhongba goes to find that person now, that person will never see him.
Besides, he doesn’t need to look for him now. Forget it, let’s look for this person later!
The problem Zhu Chongba needs to solve now is the problem of eating. He can no longer go on like this. After one meal, there will be no next meal.
And although the food he eats is healthy, Zhu Chongba is now growing up, and he needs the most nutrition at this time. Not to mention big fish and meat, at least there must be enough oil and water!
Zhu Chongba's requirements are not high now. He must be able to eat enough, and then be full again.
Although Zhu Chongba can't go to that big businessman who will be so rich in the future now, he can do business!
According to the steward, the current government encourages business. How is this similar to the modern society where Zhu Chongba came?
Originally, Zhu Chongba wanted to cultivate the land well, but the harvest was too slow. It was estimated that the day lilies would be cold by the time the crops were ripe.
Zhu Chongba accidentally glanced at the grass the cow was eating. This was the most common grass! If a cow eats such ordinary grass, it will grow too slowly!
By the way, he can prepare the feed and sell it to Landlord Liu. When Zhu Chongba thought of this, he felt that this idea was feasible.
The first step was to formulate the feed. Zhu Chongba thought for a long time and came up with the general formula of feed that is widely used by people in modern society.
Zhu Chongba was able to remember the formula of the feed because his family was from a rural area and his father also raised pigs.
One day when he was free, he read the instructions for pig feed.
Zhu Chongba did as he was told. The feed also required hay, bran, and cotton cakes. I don't know if these raw materials were available here.
He walked down the hillside to another piece of land and found that cotton was grown here, which would be easier.
Zhu Chongba thought of a way and ran back to Landlord Liu's house.
Landlord Liu's home has a warehouse, which contains things Zhu Chongba needs.
Although Landlord Liu is a big landowner, he said that he has transformed into a large professional owner of planting and breeding.
Landlord Liu's main source of profit is no longer just land rent, but the income from trading cotton, cattle and sheep.
These are what Zhu Chongba learned later.
Zhu Chongba found the materials he needed in the warehouse. He packed some in a bag, and then went to the landlord's cattle farm.
Although Zhu Chongba remembered what the feed formula was composed of, he didn't know what kind of formula the cattle here specifically liked.
Zhu Chongba wanted to experiment and let the cows taste the feed he prepared, and then choose what the cows liked the most.
If the original Zhu Chongba knew that the current Zhu Chongba was actually engaged in fodder, I wonder what he would think?
Regardless, Zhu Chongba has decided to do this. He also has another idea, that is, the next time he sees his elder brother, he will give him a suggestion and let him sell salt.
Most people don’t know where the salt is produced? Zhu Chongba knew this very clearly. And selling salt is now legal and legal.
In fact, after Zhu Chongba established the Ming Dynasty, he implemented a salt monopoly system. In comparison, the Yuan Dynasty was relatively enlightened on this point.
Salt is something that everyone needs every day. If you don't eat salt, you will be lackluster. It is an equally important necessity as food.
Soon, Zhu Chongba prepared several feed samples. He let the cows eat them one by one to see which formula they were most satisfied with. That was what he needed.
