It is impossible for Liu Mingqi to go around the whole 10,000 acres of pasture.
During this process, what he liked most was riding a horse and standing on the hill with Tang Wu, looking at the near and far places.
Wherever you see it, although there are patches of exposed soil, not as green as spring and summer, the cattle scattered everywhere look very pleasing to the eye.
While they were touring, deputy director Dou Xiaoqin also rushed over.
Tang Wu is mainly responsible for the technical aspects. Dou Xiaoqin is responsible for managing the people and the cows eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Dou Xiaoqin is naturally a son of Prince Yu's family. He has no problem with loyalty and is down-to-earth and hard-working. He is not the kind of pedantic person. He also knows how to think of various ways to make some improvements.
¡° Having said that, if he didn¡¯t have some ability, Princess Yu wouldn¡¯t have sent him here.
"How is the alfalfa I asked you to look for last year growing now?" the young man asked him.
"I have found it a long time ago. They were introduced from the northwest grassland and Qiyan grassland last summer. There are several species! Fortunately, we did it last year, otherwise we would not get any this year!" Dou Xiaoqin said: "They are all very good. It is suitable for growing in the mainland. We have planted hundreds of acres here, and in Hebei, Hunan, Anhui and other places, we have sent people to cultivate the land. This year's growth is very good.
If this momentum continues, by the year after next at the latest, we won¡¯t have to buy all kinds of livestock fodder on the grassland! Then we can continue to expand the scale, so that our cattle can eat better and grow better! "
"Compared to the scale of our future dairy farming, no matter how much alfalfa we have, it will not be enough." Liu Mingqi said: "After drying, the fodder can be stored for almost two years, so the more planting area, the better!"
"We have already contacted you," Dou Xiaoqin said: "Many farmers burst into laughter when they heard our purchase price, and started to use the land that was not easy to cultivate to plant alfalfa!"
"That's just right."
Liu Mingqi nodded and said: "More income will make them more active in planting and caring for them. Then our cows will grow better, breed more, produce more milk, and naturally earn more. "
"Look!"
Liu Minghua, who almost disappeared, immediately said to Su Xiaoxue: "Miss Su, he is just a businessman, he just wants to make more money!"
"hehe!"
Su Xiaoxue smiled and ignored him.
This Liu Minghua had been courting her just now, and Su Xiaoxue was very impatient, but Liu Mingqi kept chatting with Tang Wu, as if he had forgotten herself, and she had no chance to get rid of this guy.
Su Xiaoxue didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with Liu Mingqi¡¯s words.
He has said before that to earn money, you must earn money from the rich and powerful, and then use this money to benefit the people.
??In fact, this is what others do.
Look, briquettes, which cost two cents each, are now available not only in Beijing, but also in Sichuan, Jiangnan, and even Liaoning.
No matter where you are, briquettes are worth two cents.
Poorer families can use a piece of briquettes to keep themselves warm at night. It only costs two cents, and they can¡¯t even buy much firewood.
These briquettes can not only save lives in winter, but also have great advantages in daily life and cooking, which can significantly reduce the living costs of ordinary people, thus saving a lot of money.
??The bottom line is that if Liu Mingqi wants to make money, there will be people buying it for three cents or four cents, many people will buy it.
But they just don¡¯t!
I heard that he had all the coal subsidies given by the court refunded, and then he still had to pay the commercial tax.
??????????????????? And the workers who work in the briquette workshop are paid so high and their treatment is so good that it is jaw-dropping.
With such a connection, no one would believe it if he said he didn¡¯t lose money!
Where can I get back the money I lost here?
Isn¡¯t it just to make money from those rich people to subsidize it?
So Su Xiaoxue thinks this model is very good! very good!
While she was thinking, Dou Xiaoqin continued to report: "The technology and requirements for storing forage you mentioned have been studied by Director Tang since last year. Although there were some problems and failures, most of the forage storage There has been improvement, and I believe that after these two years, even if there is an emergency, we will be able to store more than one year's worth of dairy rations."
"Um."
The young man nodded, "What is the difficulty?"
Dou XiaoqinchiNeedless to say, continue to improve cows, continue to breed cows well, and let cows give birth to more cows. Liu Mingqi said, "Besides, we haven't stopped purchasing milk from ordinary people, right?" "
"No."
Dou Xiaoqin quickly replied: "The price is still the same, and they are quite satisfied."
"Well, there aren't too many of them, and they don't cost much, but they can bring some good changes to their lives." Liu Mingqi said thoughtfully, "Please pay attention, if the quality of their milk is getting worse and worse. As long as they don't mix it with water on purpose, I'll give it to the newly formed army of the imperial court. Twenty thousand people can still consume a lot of milk in a day."
"yes!"
Dou Xiaoqin agreed.
This is actually where he has a headache. The milk from ordinary people¡¯s homes is often not as good as the milk from their own dairy farms.
If it is given to soldiers who are serving as soldiers, there is no problem.
¡° Anyway, they are young and rough, so they will be fine if they drink.
After Liu Mingqi gave the instructions, he originally wanted to ask Dou Xiaoqin if he had any plans for purchasing a new cow.
But Dou Xiaoqin didn¡¯t know that Dakang would block all trading venues on the border next year, and all the plans he chose were useless.
It seems that I have to work hard myself.
I remember that Liu Mingjing still had business dealings with some small tribal alliances in the northwest.
Those small tribal alliances have not gone deep into the war with Dakang, or can they open up a little opening from here?
Or you can buy yaks from the Tubo Plateau.
By crossing yaks with the cows here, maybe we can breed better varieties?
??????????????????????????? These animals require constant experimentation and constant eugenics and eugenics in order to cultivate better and more outstanding varieties!
Another troublesome thing is that the calving cycle of this cow is really too long.
From pregnancy to birth, and the rest of the period, you can only give birth to one baby a year, and each baby is just one calf.
How great it would be if you had the terrifying fertility of a rabbit! !
