Chapter 802 Changes in Jeju Island
The spring brings warmth and makes people feel slightly smoked.

Back home, Zuo Menggeng completely turned into an old man who let go.

Lying lazily under the locust tree, she let Zuo Xuanyan crawl up and down on her chest.

Chasing Xue lay beside his head, bathed in the sun, unwilling to wake up.

Xia Wanchun has no one to care about, and he is having fun everywhere.He caught a grasshopper from somewhere and showed it to Zuo Xuanyan.

The two children immediately screamed and croaked, as if they had discovered a new world.

The end is that the years are quiet and good.

Even if there were visitors, Zuo Menggeng didn't move at all.

"Haha, our commander-in-chief is really laid back."

Zuo Menggeng opened his eyes and saw Zhang Keda and Zuo Fu coming hand in hand.

Behind them was a young man in military uniform, who paused every step and kept arranging his clothes, very excited and nervous.

"Liang Fa, deputy director of the Liaodong Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, reported to the commander in chief."

Zuo Menggeng sat up and said gently: "This is home, not the army, so be more casual. I'm holding the child, so I can't return the gift, please forgive me."

Liang Fa kept shaking his hands.

"It is an honor for my subordinates to meet the commander-in-chief."

Zuo Menggeng ordered people to bring tables and chairs, and asked the nanny to pick up Zuo Xuanyan and Xia Wanchun to leave.

Several people chatted freely under the locust tree.

"What is the situation in Sakhalin today?"

Liang Fa quickly sat upright and began to speak.

Zuo Menggeng was very dissatisfied.

"Didn't I tell you to relax, this is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair."

Liang Fa blushed, and quickly introduced the situation in the north.

In April last year, Zhang Keda and Bai Dasheng led a huge fleet to travel again.

Their first stop was Jeju Island.

This large island on the border of North Korea seems to have become a place outside the world.

The various changes here, the North Korean center is still ignorant.

Seeing thousands of tall and handsome war horses being put down, Shen Daoxun and Li Chong all looked straight.

"This... is this a Pegasus?"

"There is such a majestic war horse in the world! Using this horse as a battle, it is easy to conquer the world."

The two North Korean officials who were trapped on the isolated island obviously didn't have much experience, and they were all shocked in the face of the war horses collected from all over the world.

The people in charge of these war horses came from two systems.

One is Yu Binwang, deputy director of the Livestock Management Department of the General Logistics Department, and the other is Huang Zaizai, deputy director of the Animal Husbandry Division of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Prefect Shen, has the pasture here been prepared?"

Shen Daoxun hurriedly said: "You two angels, please rest assured that the Jeju Ranch is already in our hands."

Shen Daoxun called someone over and introduced them to them.

"This is Xu Qian, the sacrifice officer who was just appointed. Please rest assured, the angel, this is our own, and we will respect the angel's instructions from now on."

The man walked forward quickly and bowed to the end, very humble.

"Xu Qian pays homage to the angel of the Kingdom."

King Yu Bin and Huang Zai saw that he was about forty years old, he was gentle, modest, and he spoke Chinese well, so they had a good impression of him.

"Xu Diansheng, we will cooperate sincerely from now on."

Neither of them knew that this Xu Qian actually had a lot of background.

Xu Qian's father is Xu Jun, a famous doctor in the Joseon Dynasty, and also a member of the Western People's Party.

This time Shandong attempted to plot the ranch on Jeju Island, and the Western People's Party made some operations and cleverly used party disputes to demote Xu Qian to Jeju, successfully controlling the ranch firmly in its hands.

However, although the ranch was obtained, the actual situation made Yu Binwang and Huang Zaisheng frown.

"This place has been abandoned and must be cultivated again. Otherwise, even the best horses will not be able to grow."

Accompanied by Xu Qian, the two inspected the ranch carefully, and the situation was not optimistic.

Since the Imjin Japanese Invasion, it has not been properly operated for decades.

Not only are the people who raise horses and herds unskilled and overstaffed, but even the grass is of low quality and unusable.

Huang Zaisheng casually pulled a piece of grass from the ground and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

The grass tasted very dry, and even with all his strength, he couldn't chew much juice.Moreover, the taste is extremely bitter, and the roots and leaves are hard and cannot be chewed.

"New grass must be transplanted here."

Hearing his plan, Xu Qian was shocked.

"Grassing, isn't it following the grass? Can this pasture be planted like rice and wheat?"

Huang Zai smiled.

"Rice and wheat are plants, and pasture is also a plant. If rice and wheat can be cultivated, why can't pasture?"

He asked his subordinates to come over and opened a box, which was full of grass seeds.

"Xu Diansheng, I'll give you ten days to organize the people here to level all the grass."

Xu Qian was numb.

He stared dumbfounded at the boundless pasture.

"Master Angel, there are not enough people here!"

Huang Zaisheng has black lines all over his head.

"It's not enough to pull weeds by hand, but you can set fire to a prairie fire. Haven't you heard that wild fires can't burn out, and spring wind blows and regenerates?"

Xu Qian suddenly realized, and hurriedly went to organize the work.

In the next few days, the entire Jeju Island was shrouded in thick smoke, and people who were choking did not dare to go out at all.

But the effect is also leveraged.

Large tracts of pastures have been set on fire, and all of them have become dry land.

After two rains, Huang Zaisheng invited the local garrison to help.

Thousands of people worked together to plow the pasture carefully, and the burned plant ash was buried under the soil and turned into fertile nutrients.

Then the people he brought began to plant new grass species on the land.

These grass species are alfalfa, known as the "king of grass".

Alfalfa has been used as pasture grass in China for more than two thousand years, and people have long realized its value.

After the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, a special department was set up to study animal husbandry.

Grass is the most important thing.

After years of research and comparison, Huang Zaisheng and others agreed that alfalfa is the best grass species.

Before coming to Jeju Island, he had already read the relevant information, and he had already made some mental preparations for the pasture here, so he brought alfalfa grass seeds.

It really came in handy now, without delaying the construction of the ranch.

In addition to planting new types of grass, Huang Zaisheng also arranged tasks for King Yu Bin.

"The breeding of war horses requires a lot of legume feed in addition to enough pasture. Obviously, there is no such thing here, and it needs to be transported from Shandong. From now on, we must have beans and eggs, and they are indispensable."

King Yu Bin was sent here to assist Huang Zaisheng.

After accepting the task, he immediately organized the fleet to return to Shandong, and brought all the things needed here one by one.

In addition to these necessary material preparations, Huang Zaisheng and Yu Binwang were also very dissatisfied with the original operation method of the Jeju Island ranch.

North Korea's political system and official system are basically learned from the Ming Dynasty, so the management of animal husbandry also has the same problems.

Officials know nothing and only care about making money.The people below don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, so they don't have the heart to do anything, and they steal and play tricks.Under such misconduct, the original management system of the ranch has long been rotten.

Huang Zaisheng discussed with King Yu Bin and decided to reform the ranch.
