Chapter 273 Raising Pigs and Chickens
Seeing that Jiang Yuanxi agreed with his proposal, Jiang Boyong breathed a sigh of relief, "I want to position three styles for this identity brand."

Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, full of interest.

"Under 20 years old use a bamboo sign, two inches long and one inch wide, with peach blossoms carved in the upper left corner of the front, mines carved in the lower right corner, and names and taboos carved in the middle of the back.

From 20 to 50 years old, two inches long and one inch wide, with bamboo carved in the upper left corner of the front, silver ingots carved in the lower right corner, and names and taboos carved in the middle of the back.

Over 50 years old, two inches three in length and one inch three in width, with pines and cypresses carved in the upper left corner of the front, gold and silver treasures carved in the lower right corner, and names and taboos carved in the middle of the back.

This identity card is asked to be changed by the people in the county according to their age every year. When the age is reached, they are asked to change the corresponding identity card. "

Jiang Boyong eloquently said, "Be careful not to be seen through by careful observation, a major change will be made every five years, the household registration book will be re-booked, and the engraving on the identity plate will be changed to improve anti-counterfeiting."

In the previous life, it took the Jiang family at least ten years to bring down the country. This time, Jiang Boyong is also ready for a protracted war.

Jiang Yuanxi's eyebrows were beaming when he heard that, and he couldn't help clapping his hands again, "Fifth Brother's method is very good, so I have to ask Fifth Brother to take over this matter."

The household registration book was held by Jiang Boyong, so it would be best to hand over the ID badge to him.

Jiang Boyong nodded in agreement, and then went on to talk about the second thing, "Wu Niang, has Mr. Zhu found a good place recently?"

The question is whether Zhu Xuezhen has enclosed the barren land.

Danyang County is a treasure land, if it is not located in a remote place, how can we wait for them to come here?
In addition, Danyang County has a small population and few labor forces. Even if the land can be harvested twice a year, there is no labor to open up wasteland, so many barren lands are left.

"I heard from Mr. Zhu that the land has almost been enclosed. I will ask Mr. Zhu and my brother when they come back."

Jiang Boyong looked serious, "I heard you said that Mr. Zhu spent a lot of effort to produce a new batch of rice seeds. Taking advantage of this July, let our trilogy work together to plant the rice as soon as possible. September There is still one harvest per month."

Danyang County has two crops a year. The first crop is planted in early spring and seedlings are planted in April, and harvested in July. The second crop is planted in July and harvested in September.

The reason why Jiang Boyong is so anxious is that he knows that next year there will be a catastrophe that will sweep Beiliang—locusts!
Even if he didn't do business in his previous life, his scalp still felt numb when he thought of the catastrophe. Countless locusts flew over the sky and covered the sky, covering the whole area with darkness, and there was no rice in their path.

That year, the grain harvest was in short supply, and the court refused to exempt the people from taxes. My grandfather and the others wrote to the court for disaster relief, but the court’s granaries were not enough to fill the people’s stomachs. Even if the granaries were to be used for disaster relief, half of the granaries were reserved for the army as a backup. Yes, Chen Xiong was only willing to use the granary to keep up with the army first, so that he was hungry all over the field at that time, eating everything from the bark to the root, and finally the people exchanged their sons to eat it. It can be said that it was that catastrophe that made Beiliang never Unable to maintain the stability on the bright side, the chaos began from then on.

Jiang Boyong has always remembered this matter, locusts are natural disasters, he can't stop them, he can only make preparations in advance, at least to ensure that their Danyang County will not be chaotic, if there is surplus food, they can use food to attract those young and middle-aged people who can't eat enough to come over—— This will be an important source for them to expand their own army.

Fearing that Jiang Yuanxi would not take it seriously, Jiang Boyong said again: "Wu Niang, the situation is getting more and more severe now, we have to prepare early, there is no shortage of food for marching and fighting, the more food the better."

Jiang Yuanxi nodded slightly, "Fifth Brother, don't worry, I know."

She also attaches great importance to the matter of food, and has been waiting for Mr. Zhu's investigation. It is impossible to say that if the matter of enclosing the land is blocked by the people, even if it is in the capacity of the county magistrate, she must use her power to suppress the situation, and she must not lose anything.

Seeing Wuniang attaching great importance to it, Jiang Boyong felt relieved, because in his previous life, Danyang County was discovered by Wuniang at the later stage of the confrontation between the Jiang and Li families. Jiang Boyong didn't know how Danyang County survived the locust plague at that time. He thought for a long time and felt that he only planted grain It's not safe, you have to know that they have to raise thousands of parts, practice every day, if they don't have enough to eat, they won't be able to fight, so Jiang Boyong said again: "Wu Niang, I've thought about it for a long time, I think we have to enclose the land to raise them." Some livestock."

Jiang Yuanxi responded with a smile, "Fifth brother and I agree on this matter. I have already asked Mr. Zhu to help him see which places are suitable for breeding pigs when he is surveying the fields."

With Mr. Zhu's grain seeds and Danyang County's twice-cropped fields a year, it is true that a lot of grain can be stored, but people can't just eat rice. If there is no meat to eat, I am afraid that they will not have much combat power.

"Fifth brother, I will ask my little brother's caravan to buy breeding pigs and come back. The county government will issue a notice that if people adopt breeding pigs, the breeding pigs do not need money. Of course, in order to prevent people from taking advantage, each household can only adopt at most Two boars and ten sows.

After adopting them back home, they only need to provide a hundred pigs to the county government every year, and the tax can be exempted by [-]%.As for the common people, if they still have a lot of pigs, they can also trade with the county government, and the county government will buy them according to the market price. "

Jiang Yuanxi felt that instead of raising pigs by themselves, it is better to leave this matter to the common people. Breeding pigs does not cost money, which means that the common people do not need to spend any money in the first place. It only costs labor, the fodder can be cut, and every household has rice husks. Raising pigs in captivity is a huge profit, and if a hundred pigs are provided to the county government, [-]% of the tax will be exempted. The people will be very happy.

Jiang Yuanxi is not afraid that the people will raise piglets after taking the breeding pigs back and not give them to the county government. Firstly, if they raise too many piglets, they will not be able to eat much if they keep them for themselves. Secondly, the people are most nervous about the land. They are happy no matter what, and they can earn money from the county government if they raise more piglets. If they want to take the piglets to the neighboring county to sell, the journey is far away, and they may not be able to find a new home.

Jiang Yuanxi felt that if he wanted to fight effectively, he had to fill his stomach. The piglets could grow up in a few months. During the war, he used marinated pork jerky for cooking, and salt was needed to marinate the pork jerky. Being able to eat meat and eat salt is the best of both worlds.

Jiang Boyong also nodded. Raising pigs takes very little time, and piglets in captivity are indeed very suitable for military food.

"Wu Niang, in addition to raising pigs, I think we can also raise chickens and ducks, especially chickens. If there are more hens, they will lay more eggs. It would be good if the soldiers could eat one egg a day. And the chicken can also cook soup, if we want to go to war in winter, we can have a mouthful of hot soup to warm up our bodies.”

Jiang Boyong was a little anxious, chickens eat bugs, and if there were really locusts crossing the border, he would release tens of thousands of chickens to see the natural enemies and see how many locusts were left.

　Come, come, I will write the rest of the chapter after I finish my meal. I may not be able to update it regularly recently. I am writing now, and I have not saved the manuscript~~~
