Chapter 260 Grasping Production

The number of herdsmen and livestock who came to Shanyang for the winter exceeded Sun Xiangfu's expectations. Therefore, the greenhouses that were originally built were not enough, and it was too late to burn bricks to repair the houses. The ground is warm enough to keep cattle and sheep from freezing to death. The soil dug out is built into a series of not-so-high soil walls. With wooden tripod beams and grass covered, it is a simple Small houses, but this kind of house is not used for living, but for growing vegetables.

In winter, as long as it is not compacted by heavy snow, the vegetables grown in Guanzhong can also be grown in Shanyang. The roof made of pasture can block the snow, and the earth wall can block the strong wind. The grass on the roof can be easily removed to let the vegetables bask in the sun. Anyway, it is easy to do, and it is a little bit more.

The clerks in charge of civil affairs in the Duhu Mansion are very busy. They have to issue household registration certificates to hundreds of herdsmen every day. It is even more difficult to choose names. Zhao Baibai, Qian Erbai, and Sun Sanbai all appear. Yes, it wasn't until late September, when the sky was snowing heavily, that all the busy work came to an end.

Flipping through the household registration booklet of Anbei Duhufu, Sun Xiangfu was very pleased. There are more than 32 households with a population of 30.This is not counting the three counties and one city of Shuozhou. Of course, the more than 10 people are not all Turkic people who surrendered on the grassland. The ratio of Hu to Han is about two to one.

In this city where there are more Hu people than Han people, Chinese language has gradually become the mainstream, because after the heavy snow falls, everyone has to stay in the city, what are they doing?

First of all, some people were recruited by the major workshops in Shanyang. Yuchi Baolin’s blacksmith workshop directly recruited 3000 people, and the wood workshop presided over by Wang Fu recruited 5000 people. Then there are leather goods processing workshops, food processing workshops, Coal, charcoal furnace processing workshops, etc., first recruited all the young and strong who were not serfs from aristocratic families.

Now, Sun Xiangfu not only has a lot of money, but also a lot of resources. The aristocratic family has no way to compete with him, because the herdsmen have to feed cattle and sheep, which requires a lot of pasture. The mowing team of thousands of people organized by Sun Xiangfu before hoarded a lot of forage In the city, only by going to work in a workshop under the name of Sun Xiangfu will you be given fodder, but the descendants of the aristocratic family are not prepared for this. Herdsmen will not only accept money at this time.

In the workshops dominated by a small number of Han Chinese, these Turkic people first had to learn to obey Chinese instructions, and their children were gathered in several large places dedicated to teaching Chinese. It is said that as long as the children have learned Chinese , can also earn money in the city, and those places that teach Chinese will give children food, at least one nang cake and a bowl of hot and fragrant mutton soup to drink every day.

With such benefits, no fool would let the children go!

"Zhou Chun, overcome the difficulties and build more residential houses for backup. If my prediction is not bad, the bone beggar will also bring his clansmen to Shanyang."

Now as long as Sun Xiangfu goes out, he will always follow a few people. When he gets to that side, the person in charge of that side has to come out to obey orders. However, the speed of housing construction has never been able to catch up with the growth rate of the people under Sun Xiangfu's rule. All the more than 3 residential houses have been sold out on loan, and the newly built more than 1 houses were also allocated by Sun Xiangfu in an instant. At present, there are more than [-] herdsmen living in their own tents, but fortunately enough thermos pots and coal stoves have been produced in the workshop. In the past they were much taller in the grasslands.

"It's not difficult. It's not the coldest time here. Brothers can do it. I added another 1 people, more than [-] people. As long as the materials can keep up, hundreds of residential buildings can still be built in a day. of."

Zhou Chun answered, and Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Well, it's not easy to work in cold weather. In the future, whenever it snows, the wages of the brothers will increase by [-]%, and there must be meat for every meal."

"Is there any meat? We don't have so many cattle and sheep to eat!" Zhou Chun was a little stunned. He knew that Sun Xiangfu was rich now, and the piece he was in charge of was gradually beginning to make money. The quantity of materials cannot be enlarged, there is a fixed number of cattle and sheep.

Sun Xiangfu looked at Zhou Chun who was in a daze and smiled, "Of course someone will bring you the cattle and sheep. Shanyang doesn't need so many herdsmen. Besides, those bantam sheep and yaks that are not strong enough will be killed. Eating meat will allow the herdsmen's cattle and sheep to maintain the advantages of seedlings, and feeding them will get twice the result with half the effort."

The same principle can be found in raising cattle and sheep as in raising pigs. The offspring bred by tall and strong cattle and sheep are more willing to grow and healthier. With the large concentration of cattle and sheep on the grassland this time, Sun Xiangfu Just to optimize the population of the cattle and sheep in the hands of these herdsmen. In the future, this will happen once a year. Without worrying about freezing to death, the breeding speed is very fast.

In later generations, a family on the grassland can easily raise hundreds of cattle and sheep. With the population of Shanyang, how many cattle and sheep can be digested in a year?[-] households are dedicated to raising sheep, and several million heads are slaughtered a year, which is enough for everyone to eat meat. After all, the growth cycle of sheep is only about half a year. For beef cattle and mutton sheep, the proportion of meat produced will be much higher than that of traditional grazing sheep in this period, and the cattle can be slaughtered for a year.

In terms of breeding, Sun Xiangfu has actually been recruiting experienced herdsmen to do research. In Shanyang in the future, captive breeding will replace stocking on a large scale, and besides meat, milk and hair will also be the most value-added animal husbandry. High supporting industries.

These herdsmen, with the help of several researchers from Xingfu Village, will gradually improve this industry.

Of course, there are not only cattle and sheep on the prairie, but also horses. Horses are a must for armaments in this period, and they are things that the imperial court attaches great importance to. Li Shimin handed over such a large piece of prairie to Sun Xiangfu, and did not ask him for the number of war horses. That is impossible, at least [-] war horses are provided to the imperial court every year, which is a dead rule.

In this regard, of course, Sun Xiangfu has already dealt with it. He never does things just to complete the task. It is his style to be able to exceed the quota and quality.

The racecourse will help him select the best horse breeds on the prairie. These strongest horses will eventually become the professional horse kings responsible for breeding. Sun Xiangfu will not only raise a large number of horses himself, but also let him get second-class land. Those aristocratic families also raise horses. The added value of horse business is much higher than that of cattle and sheep. A good horse can sell ten cows in Chang'an every minute, and the price of dozens of sheep can be sold by a fool. can not see.

Therefore, there will be no shortage of horses in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and because of the large number of horses, the price will go down all the way, and the cost for the imperial court to form cavalry troops will also be reduced accordingly.

With Zhou Chun, Sun Xiangfu can't actually talk about animal husbandry. Accompanied by him, Sun Xiangfu came to the workshop area, and then he didn't have anything to do.

Tang Fengyi, a money-grubbing ghost, is now appointed by Sun Xiangfu as the general manager of Shanyang Industrial Zone, and only Sun Xiangfu can think of sending a money-grubbing person to be the supervisor.

"Old Tang, recently we have doubled or tripled the manpower for you, so there should be a lot of stuff out there!"

"A lot, it's a little bit more, but it's not too much."

"How much is not much?"

"For farm tools, there are 50 plows and rakes every day, and for furniture, there are more than [-] sets a day!"

"Three hundred? More than 50 sets? How do I remember that when you didn't send someone to you, you worked overtime, and you could almost reach this number." Sun Xiangfu looked at Tang Fengyi in disbelief.

"Hey, who told you that the people you sent are not allowed to beat or scold. He still doesn't quite understand what we say, and he saws every piece of wood. The masters are afraid that they will waste wood, so they often let them Watch from the side." Tang Fengyi complained helplessly.

Carpentry, for people on the prairie, is really a novelty that they have never seen before. They usually don’t even see a few pieces of iron, and they can’t find a few pieces in the woods. They will play with these things there!
"No, just teach me! To do a good job in advance, you must first sharpen your tools. If you have 3000 people working for a month, you can't make as many things as [-] people working in a day, so ah! You have to grasp the key points and let the masters Stop working first and teach them specifically. Those who saw saws were taught to saw, and those who chiseled were taught to chisel. Everyone learned the same thing. After that, they specialized in doing the same job. How many farm tools do they need? How much furniture? It's all money!"

"Hundreds of thousands of serfs?"

Hearing this data, even Tang Fengyi, who knew the strength of the aristocratic family, was a little dazed. Sun Xiangfu's action this time can be regarded as picking up all the Tibetan slaves of the aristocratic family. Tang paid the tax. Of course, this is only the first step. Later, Sun Xiangfu will find a way to restore them to freedom, but it is very difficult to do this. Sun Xiangfu still needs to wait for the opportunity and work slowly.

Money is a word that can activate Tang Fengyi's brain. He is not a fool. Sun Xiangfu only needs to make some adjustments, and he has thought of the key point. In fact, he will disassemble all the processes of making a plow or a rake, and then follow the sequence. If it is lined up for production, it is an assembly line operation. This is a process that has been invented in the Qin Dynasty, but it is mostly used to produce military products. In this era, it can be seen in many classics. Tang Fengyi, exactly People who have read such classics.
