0375: It's Not So Outrageous.
The eastern sky is a little pale, and the air in the morning is extraordinarily fresh.
Qiao Ji woke up and saw that there was no snow, so he started exercising in the courtyard. After breakfast, he took Lei Nai and Lian Xin to Baihua Manor.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
In the carriage.
Lian Xin tied her long orange hair behind her ears, and said softly, "My lord, why do you suddenly have to pick so many cows?"
A few days ago, Fox Erniang was arranged by Qiao Ji to ask the people of Misty Garden to collect some information about cattle.
That is to say, how many breeds of cattle are there around the imperial capital? Buy one of each breed and transport it to Baihua Manor.
It took three days for Misty Garden to investigate clearly, and finally Takagi transported the cattle to Baihua Manor.
Since Takagi took over the Chamber of Commerce for Backpackers, he knew the villages around the imperial capital very well, so he naturally knew which cows were raised in which village.
Mi Wuting simply handed the collected information directly to "050" Gao Mu, and then let him find all the students on the list.
"The Beigang area is really desolate. It is impossible to reclaim a large area of land by manpower alone. With cattle, we can get twice the result with half the effort." Qiao Ji explained lightly.
He drew Qu Yuanli's drawings two days ago, and at the same time drew a lot of farm tools on the other side of the earth, and sent them to the steel workshop for them to manufacture a batch.
Qiao Ji learned from Eve that the farm tools of this era generally look crude and impractical. Moreover, most of the farmers in some villages around the imperial capital used stone farm tools, let alone the poor place in Beigang.
"Does the lord mean to let the cows come to reclaim the fields?" Lian Xin asked with her pink lips slightly parted.
She had never heard that animals could help in agriculture, so she didn't realize it all at once.
What's more, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit unrealistic. How can sex cultivate fields?
"My lord, do you want the bull's horns to dig the ground?"
Lei Nai looked at Qiao Ji innocently, his obsidian-like pupils blinking slowly.
The black cat girl has never heard that cows can reclaim fields, and all she can think of is the pair of horns of cows, but it is definitely impossible.
"Hahaha........." Qiao Ji was amused by the innocent black cat girl.
He almost burst into tears with laughter, waved his hands and said, "It's not so outrageous, you will know when you get to the manor."
Even if Qiao Ji explained it to them now, they still don't understand it, but the girls will understand it when they practice it.
"Okay." Lei Nai pouted innocently.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
More than an hour later, the carriage driven by Shi Zinc slowly stopped outside Baihua Manor.
Ai Yu saw Qiao Ji who got off the carriage, and saluted, "My lord, Takagi has already driven the cattle to the field where the flowers were planted before.
The field had been empty since the last wave of autumn flowers had gathered, and there was nothing to grow in the winter.
"Okay." Qiao Ji nodded lightly, and led Chong Nai and Lian Xin towards the fields where the flowers were planted.
The field for planting flowers is on the left side of the manor, and the dormitories, workshops, etc. of the knights are on the right side.
Qiao Ji and others walked there for a few minutes, and they saw six tall cows eating hay.
"My lord, there are only these six breeds of cattle around the imperial capital." Takagi stepped forward and saluted slightly.
"understood."
Qiao Ji nodded slightly, turned his face sideways and ordered, "Ai Yu, put Qu Yuanli on these cows."
"Yes." Ai Yu turned around and ordered his subordinates to do it.
Qiao Ji looked at the cows eating hay and asked, "How are the strength and temperament of these cows? And their breeding cycle."
Not all cattle are suitable for farming. For example, some cattle are very irritable. This breed of cattle will not obediently listen to people.
"My lord, the quality of the three cows near us is very good. Many nobles would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy and eat them, but the growth cycle of these cows is very slow.
Pointing to three cows of similar size, Takagi explained, "The farmers said that they usually need to be raised for five to seven years before they can reach their current size.
According to Qiao Ji's request, he learned about the living habits and feeding cycle of these cows from the villagers.
"Continue." Qiao Ji nodded with one hand behind her back.
"In the past, the two cows were very irritable and ran very fast, but there were very few villagers who raised them.
Takagi remembered the habits of these cows very clearly, and explained, "Because their meat quality is very average, and they taste a little sour, they are generally fed and sent to the Colosseum after they grow up.
"What about the remaining cow?" Qiao Ji asked, frowning slightly.
According to what Takagi said, the first few cows are not suitable for farming. The growth cycle of the first three cows is a bit long, and the most important thing is that they are expensive.
It is really a waste to use such cattle to plow the land, let alone those two impatient cattle.
If the last cow is still not good enough, Qiao Ji can only choose among the few cows with a slow growth cycle, and the price is more expensive.....
"It is disliked by most of the villagers, who say that although this kind of cow has a good temperament and great strength, its disadvantage is that it is too slow and the meat is so sticky that it sticks between its teeth."
Takagi looked at the last cow and added, "And it eats a lot. Only a few villagers who need to carry heavy goods will raise some. The price is not very expensive. The growth cycle is about two or three years, and it can be transported... ……”
"it is good."
Qiao Ji probably knew it in his heart, and turned his head to the side and ordered, "Ai Yu, let them start.
"Yes." Ai Yu responded immediately, raised her hand and made a gesture to the people leading the oxen to let them start plowing.
"moo moo moo
Each cow is led by someone, and a rope hangs around their necks to connect Quyuanli, and another person supports Quyuanli to move forward.
As each ox advances slowly, the curved shaft plow embedded in the ground plows the flat ground into a loose state.
However, not every cow can move obediently in a straight line, some cows walk in a mess, some cows stand still, and some cows turn around to attack people and so on.
The scene seemed very chaotic at one time, only a few cows were moving in the direction guided by the person leading them.
"It turns out that cattle can be used in this way." Lian Xin looked at the scene on the field in shock.
"If the ox is obedient, surely a lot of land can be plowed in the world?" Tai immediately saw the benefits of using oxen to plow the land.
Not only the two of them were 0.6, but the knights watching were also shocked. The scene in front of them refreshed their worldview since they grew up.
"With the assistance of the cattle, it shouldn't be too difficult to cultivate the fields on Beigang." Qiao Ji looked at the chaotic scene calmly.
He turned his head to look at Takagi, and ordered, "All the other cattle were slaughtered and eaten, and the last breed of cattle introduced just now, let people buy a hundred of them.
Comparing the cattle brought back by Takagi, Qiao Ji still likes the last breed of cattle. The main advantage is that it is cheap and the period of raising them into tool cattle is short.
Although the performance of the first three cows is also good, Qiao Ji does not consider the long feeding cycle.
"Yes." Gao Mu also understood the usefulness of these cows after seeing these cows plowing the field.
He admired the idea of the lord very much, and he might not be able to think of changing his own body even if he wanted to break his head.
