Chapter 19 My Ranch Full Moon

The porcelain masters in their previous lives were unable to obtain a large amount of beef bone meal and sheep bone meal.

But this life of Dakang Dynasty had such an opportunity.

The reason is very simple. Dakang's trade exchanges are even stronger than those of my Dasong Dynasty.

Many Dakang merchants went up the grassland and the ocean to do business.

And more importantly, Dakang's military power is much stronger than that of our Great Song Dynasty. Although the barbarians stood four times outside, they could not fight in.

It was not that they did not fight, but that the northern tribes fought more than ten times one after another, but they did not win decisively. At most, they were both defeated.

Dakang has a profound foundation and can be replenished after a few more years of losses.

But the tribes such as Wei, Xiqiang, Uighurs, Qiyan and other outside are not good. They will get hurt after being beaten once, and they have not been able to recover for many years.

If they can't enter the Central Plains to plunder wealth and the losses are too great to bear, they can only do business honestly.

Since the founding of the Dakang Kingdom for the 81st year, the footprints of merchants have spread all over the grassland.

How has Dakang business done now?

Even the transactions between tribes are mostly done by Dakang merchants.

Awesome?

So this world is basically the era of doing business now.

Since it is a north-south trade exchange and merchants have such great energy, it is easy to buy things from the grassland.

In other words, it is difficult to buy war horses, so Dakang could only secretly buy them from the small tribe alliance in the west, and the rest of the various livestock, minerals and materials were bought as much as possible.

Including the cow.

During the Spring Festival this year, Liu Mingqi entrusts the businessmen who do business in the Qiyan Plateau tribe to buy cows for themselves?

From March to August before, the merchants bought Liu Mingqi 7,400 cows in one go. In addition, the Qiyan tribe felt embarrassed to make so much money, so they gave him more than 300 bulls.

Um……

As expected, as long as there is no war, all grassland tribes are very cute.

There are one thing to two things when doing business, and it’s easier for everyone to do it after getting familiar with it.

Just like the famous traitors and tyrants of the country, the eight major Shanxi merchants, I entered the Qing Dynasty to burn, kill, loot, but I was only treated leniently with the eight major Shanxi merchants, and it did not change until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Now Liu Mingqi is the same. After he has done his first big deal, the second trip will be much more convenient.

There are still many troubles when buying cows, such as shipping issues.

But if you buy cattle and sheep skeletons, there will be no problem at all.

Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter windy, rain or snow, it will not affect any transportation and break into pieces of bones. Why are you afraid of bumps or wetness?

So as soon as he bought the ceramic workshop, Liu Mingqi entrusted the merchants who had helped buy cattle before, and offered a price of 50 cents per kilogram to ask them to buy cattle and sheep bones back, and they would like to buy cattle and sheep bones, without any cap.

The merchants who worked in border trade with the Qiyan tribe were a little surprised, but Prince Yu had always had many strange ideas, and they were not surprised.

Besides, Liu Mingqi has good credit and is very kind to offer. The cattle and sheep bones are something that others don’t want on the grassland, and they can hardly cost any money, so everyone agreed and was willing to bring them back to him.

...

At this time, Liu Mingqi remembered his ranch. While purchasing cattle and sheep bones, he also rode a horse to the ranch area with Dazhu, Fan Shan and others.

The ranch is located in the southern suburbs of the capital, where there is an emperor's imperial farm. Because it is rich in water and grass, it also includes several small hills, so Liu Mingqi asked Emperor Jinghe to rent it to be his own ranch.

When Emperor Jinghe heard that it was for raising cows, he immediately agreed.

Because more and more people are eating milk and milk products nowadays, even if he is the emperor, it is impossible to enjoy milk tea, double-skin milk, cakes and other delicacies without restraint.

Liu Mingqi wanted to expand the output of buffalo milk so that more and more dairy products were supplied to the palace every day, and he was undesirable.

Of course, for now, the emperor probably didn’t even feel like eating, and his leisure time eating milk tea has naturally decreased too much.

well!

Everything is fate, and there is no way to control others!

With such melancholy, Liu Mingqi climbed a small hill and looked at the cows everywhere. Her eyes suddenly became cheerful, and her worries seemed to be swept away.

Tang Wu stood next to the boy.

Tang Wu is the cattle raising expert who dug back from Tong County by Liu Mingqi. He is very persistent in raising dairy cows. On weekdays, he even developed to the point where he moved into a cowshed to sleep with the cows so that he could observe their habits and characteristics.

After the boy dug him here and served as the supervisor of dairy cattle breeding and research, Tang Wu burst into great enthusiasm.

If he does this, he is often criticized, and even his wife thinks he is sick.

But Liu Mingqi, the little prince, recognized him, encouraged him to continue doing it, and gave him the best salary and treatment, and bought thousands of cows for him to take care of.

Tang Wu didn't know what "a scholar died for his confidant", but that's what he did now.

Under his care, more than 7,000 cows were fat and strong, very healthy.

There was a group of merchants from the grassland who came here to watch and praised him for his raising better than the herdsmen.

"Tang Wu, I heard that you sleep in the cowshed every day now and have to work for at least eight hours?" Liu Mingqi asked.

"hehe!"

Tang Wu smiled foolishly, "I always feel that there is something I can't finish, so I have to hurry up and do it."

"Didn't I teach your mother? Let each of them record and observe an aspect, and just make overall plans and summary." Liu Mingqi patted his shoulder, "Is it because they are disobedient? Didn't you ask Dou Xiaoqin to scold them?"

Those who work in the ranch with Tang Wu also have more than 100 professional cattle farmers hired from all over the country.

Although they are not as proficient and obsessed as Tang Wu, they are also good at it.

I heard that Prince Yu's Mansion wanted to sign their death contract, and that his family could become servants of Prince Yu's Mansion. The descendants of Prince Yu's Mansion were all responsible for food and drink. They came with their families without saying a word.

Now they and their families do the work in the ranch. They are busy all day long, but their salary is good and their life is stable, so they are very satisfied.

Dou Xiaoqin was sent by Prince Yu's Mansion and acted as the logistics supervisor, mainly responsible for various daily chores.

Liu Mingqi told him that everything must be coordinated with Tang Wu, and he will do whatever Tang Wu asked him.

Some time ago, he told Liu Mingqi when he returned home that many people were not convinced by Tang Wu and thought that everyone raised cattle, so why do you just be the boss?

Liu Mingqi came today and asked about the situation and helped him to station the site.

Tang Wu shook his head honestly and said, "They didn't know me before, but now they are much better! You don't have to worry, little prince, I can do it well!"

Listening to his firm tone, Liu Mingqi nodded slightly.

Since he has confidence, he doesn't need to get involved.

After all, if a skilled master cannot even impress his subordinates, it will prove that he is not good.

If there are more than 100 cattle farmers among the more than 100 families, Liu Mingqi will definitely replace them without hesitation.

If you can go up, just go down if you can't. This is a competitive and dynamic form of social work.

Human favors are the least things that should be found in this competitive industry.

"How are the cows doing recently?" Liu Mingqi said, "I have heard that their milk production has increased a lot again."

"right!"

Speaking of this, Tang Wu suddenly felt energetic, "There are now 105 cows, and they can produce five kilograms of milk every day during the evaporation period; 230 cows produce about three kilograms of milk every day.

Although the remaining one is not more than two kilograms, it is still much better than when I was just sent. If you continue to recuperate like this, you should be able to exceed five kilograms at most about a year.

When their peak milk production period comes, I am confident that most of the cows will rise to ten kilograms. I think some cows with special potential can exceed fifteen kilograms, or even a little more."

Cows have three stages: milk suspension period, milk evaporation period and peak period.

Tang Wu raised cows for many years, so he was very close to this family.

In this era, the production of evaporated milk in buffalo is not high. At most, it is only one or two kilograms per day, and three or five kilograms a little better, and very few can reach five kilograms.

This is still the water buffalo in the mainland, and the cattle from the grassland do not mainly produce milk.

Most dairy products on the grassland come from sheep.

In addition, after running around for two or three months, the cow was exhausted and needed to be recuperated before he could produce milk slowly.

Liu Mingqi remembers some extraordinary things very clearly.

The world's milk production record was set by a Holstein cow. It produces an average of 88.7 kilograms of milk every day on average, which is so scary. It's directly the weight of an obese adult.

However, it seems that ordinary cows only have twenty or thirty kilograms per day during peak hours.

According to this number, if Tang Wu can increase the peak milk production of each cow to ten kilograms, it would not be low.

After all, those cows are the result of hundreds of years of eugenic cultivation. Now this kind of primitive cultivation cannot be achieved overnight and reach the level of others.

"Very good!" The boy patted his shoulder, "Tang Wu, remember, this small achievement is not your goal! You want all those who feed cows and drink milk to remember your name in the future! This is a thing that will last forever!"

Tang Wu's eyes immediately glowed and he promised: "Don't worry, little prince, I will definitely work hard!"

Even if Tang Wu is just a little man, he is unwilling to let go of this opportunity to be remembered forever.

Not to mention that Liu Mingqi has created such good conditions for him, people need people, cows have a cow, and money have money!
