Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 8 The Big Purchase

Zhao Zhen took out the list he made:
  Xixi Village has 2300 acres of arable land, including 1500 acres of rice fields, the most common type of japonica rice, 500 acres of common wheat, 100 acres of soybeans, and 100 acres of cotton. The remaining acres are scattered with vegetables, millet, etc.

Currently, half of the japonica rice fields can be replaced with crystal rice. You have rice seeds in your own manor, and the wheat can be replaced with golden wheat. This is a first-level crop grown on a large scale in the Tao Kingdom like crystal rice.

Other advanced crop seeds are much more expensive, and the market is not large.

The mountain forest covers an area of ​​500 acres and is rich in tree species, mainly pine, locust, chestnut and jujube trees. It is rich in animal and plant resources. The products are rich, but not large-scale, and the current development and utilization rate is relatively low. The main products are chestnuts, jujubes, pheasants and hares. Zhao Zhen planned to see if he could buy advanced tree species and wild beasts in the market. It is better to find tree species that can be produced on a large scale. Zhao Zhen doesn't have any good ideas at the moment.

There are 300 acres of grassland, all of which are ordinary pasture. A pasture has been built and currently breeds 30 cattle, 12 mules and horses, more than 400 sheep, more than 500 chickens, and 10 geese and ducks each. The production of meat, milk, eggs and skin is small and has not been fully developed and utilized. Zhao Zhen calculated that the current pasture can raise two cattle and horses and 1 sheep per acre. According to the ratio of cattle and sheep pasture to 2:200, 2000 cattle and horses and sheep can be raised. It is necessary to replenish the number of cattle and sheep, replace the pasture, and improve the quality of the pasture.

There are 15 acres of river beach land, and the output is basically zero; mussel farming can be increased here, and ducks and geese can also be relocated to feed on small fish and shrimps on the river beach.

The threshing floor covers a total area of ​​20 acres and has zero output. Zhao Zhen plans to purchase mulberry trees and plant them around the threshing floor. At the same time, he will also plant them in front and back of the houses in the village. He will also purchase silkworm seeds to form mulberry trees. A complete industrial chain of sericulture, silk reeling and silk weaving. At the same time, mulberries are also a kind of fruit.

Pier x1 (small fishing boat x3, medium fishing boat x1), which produces fish and shrimp. The only specialty four-tailed carp also relies on fishing boats.

There are many books on county studies, and Zhao Zhen has read agricultural books all over. Grain, silkworms, and livestock are the three major agricultural production items. Fishing and hunting are not stable and are only a powerful supplement to agricultural production.

Grocery store, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, needles, thread, and all kinds of odds and ends. At present, they are all purchased from Yuncheng County, which is inconvenient and can only meet the daily expenses of tenant farmers. Zhao Zhen plans to buy department stores in the market and enrich the grocery stores, so as to improve the quality of life of farmers and stabilize people's hearts.

Village school, short-term output is zero, long-term investment, currently lacks books;

There are 180 private houses with a small annual rental fee. Mulberry trees can be planted in front of and behind the house, combined with the mulberry forests around the threshing floor, to encourage tenant farmers to raise silkworms and weave silk.

Ancestral hall, output is zero;
  Cemetery, output is zero; plant more mulberries and cypresses.

资产：庄园三年产出1500贯；幻世界金20两，银500两，铜钱300贯；分家父亲给了黄金300两，总计5500贯。

In addition to the 500 guan reserved for emergencies, Zhao Zhen exchanged all the remaining 5000 guan for Gao Guo banknotes and took them with him.

Even so, funds are still scarce to fully develop the fantasy world.

Zhao Zhen entered the livestock area nearby and was overwhelmed by the wide variety of cattle and sheep: common breeds of sheep include white goats, black goats, alpine goats, green goats, fine-wool sheep, cashmere goats, dairy goats, locust goats, and black-nosed sheep. , big-tail sheep, Tibetan sheep, yellow sheep, Ma sheep, Tan sheep, Hu sheep, etc. According to the region, there are also XZ sheep, Laoshan dairy goats, Mongolian sheep, XJ fine-wool sheep, imported Pinbo goats, Shanen dairy goats, small-tail sheep Han Yang···

Zhao Zhen chose big-tailed sheep among hundreds of breeds, including two hundred Laoshan dairy goats and two hundred green goats, at a cost of 1800 guan.

Big-tailed sheep are sheep that mainly produce meat, supplemented by wool. The most eye-catching thing is its big tail, especially the butt area.

The meat here is extremely rich in texture, and the rich oil is distributed in it, making it more moist and silky, making it a treasure in the sheep world.

It is also the sheep designated for food by the leader of the Kingdom of Gao. It is known as Qianli Gong and the fragrance of the Western Regions.

Laoshan dairy sheep are large in size, produce a lot of milk, and are resistant to rough feeding, making them a rare milk source. The whole body of the green goat is a treasure, the mutton is fresh and tender; the skin is flexible and is the best raw material for making fur, tanning, and textiles; the intestine is an indispensable suture in medical treatment; the liver is a good medicine for treating night blindness; the horns and hooves are Corners can be used to make glue.

He also purchased 60 cattle from Luxi and 60 donkeys from Texas at a cost of 1200 guan.

The Luxi cattle and Dezhou donkeys selected by Zhao Zhen are both local breeds. The Luxi cattle are used for draft meat, while the Dezhou donkeys have thick bones and are also used for draft meat. They are all large animals that can eat meat and plow the land.

The "Three Character Classic" says: "Horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, and hogs. These six animals are fed by humans."

Zhao Zhen only bought 600 sheep, 60 cattle, and 60 donkeys, and spent most of the money in his hand.

The demand for horses in the fantasy world is not urgent. The price of a draft horse is the same as that of an ox or a donkey, but the cost of raising it is twice that of an ox. A war horse costs a lot of money, ranging from a hundred to a thousand, and it is not something that Zhao Zhen can breed at this stage.

To operate 300 acres of grassland at full capacity, at least 5000 pieces of grass must be invested.

The development of the manor is inseparable from agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. Although it depends on the weather, the most stable one is farming. Half of the 500 acres of fertile land will be planted with golden wheat, and the other half will continue to be planted with ordinary wheat. Like crystal rice, golden wheat also needs to be planted in rotation to maintain soil fertility.

250 acres of cultivated land requires 7500 kilograms of seeds and 125 kilograms of money. Compared with pasture, the initial investment in farmland is even a fraction of that of pasture. The main thing is a benefit without any cost.

Silkworm seeds, three types of poultry, chickens, ducks and geese, various saplings and grass seeds, and various other groceries and iron materials cost a total of 3 guan. Looking at the remaining 1000 taels of silver notes in his hand, Zhao Zhen walked into the aquatic products trading center.

A fishy smell hit his face, and Zhao Zhen sneezed twice in a row. Compared with the livestock areas, agricultural areas, and aquatic areas, they are much smaller. They are mainly composed of silver carp and bighead carp, with occasional eels, black fish, and soft-shelled turtles. There are no shellfish.

Zhao Zhen walked out of the aquatic product area and went straight to the last stop - the treasure area. Unlike other areas, there are no merchants in the treasure area. They all set up stalls by individuals, selling everything.

The sound of hawking is endless. Taobao here is all about your eyesight. Once you buy it, you will leave without any regrets. Zhao Zhen has awakened Level 1 Insight and is ready to try his skills.

Squatting in a stall with few people, Zhao Zhen looked at the interested ones one by one. Most of the stalls were useless things, such as rusty arrow clusters, broken copper knives, and a black piece of rotten wood... ·

Not to mention the effect of Level 1 Insight, a red stone, in the eyes of ordinary people - a piece of iron ore? In Zhao Zhen's eyes - a piece of iron ore stained with blood
  Zhao Zhen widened his eyes and kept activating his abilities, searching for gold in the sand. Even with dry eyes, I couldn't find anything worth selling.

Explore, get up, next house, continue to squat down to explore, get up, next house.

Zhao Zhen picked up an ox horn and probed, horn?
  Um? What kind of horn is this? Zhao Zhen reached out and picked it up. It looked like an ox horn. It was extremely heavy and had a pressing feel. It was at least twice as heavy as an ox horn.

Zhao Zhen inquired about the price and won it decisively. The stall owner thought it was made of mutated horns and asked for 30 pieces.

A horn is worth one and a half cows. If calculated based on the mutated horns, it is a reasonable price.

What's more, under Zhao Zhen's first-level observation, combined with the several ox-horn numbers I saw at the stall just now, although they all have prefixes, the three characters of ox-horn numbers still came to my mind clearly, and only one word was displayed:? ? No., still the first one.
