Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Jia Wenhe, I asked you to engage in horse affairs for four years, how are you doing?" Chen Xi answered the wrong question, and asked Jia Xu directly, "Don't tell me that the four years have not achieved anything!"

"60,000 horses can be slaughtered this year." Jia Xu closed his notebook and said slowly, he knew that if he dragged it, it would be dragged on him, and whoever goes to the state-run ranch is now under his jurisdiction The scope, when I took over the year before last, I thought it was a trivial matter, but at the end of last year, I almost understood that this thing involved Chen Xi's overall strategy.

"Sixty thousand war horses?" Even Liu Bei was shocked this time. This is a slaughter, which means that this will not hurt the scale of the ranch. War horses of the same size.

"Yes, 60,000 war horses and 110,000 rough horses." Jia Xu nodded and said, "I have been engaged in horse management for the past three years, but I haven't shipped them until last year when I established a super-large national ranch. There's a batch."

"Okay, in the first three years we didn't even have a good breed of horse. The first three years were just for you to save a breed of horse." Chen Xi pouted and said, "The northern grassland is the most suitable pasture."

"However, even if there were fine-bred horses at that time, it would not be possible to invest manpower and material resources on a large scale to breed them like now. At the beginning, we didn't have such a deep foundation." Jia Xu said with a touch of awe, the more he knows, the more I can feel Chen Xi's terror.

Chen Xi is not good at military strategy command, but Chen Xi's talent in internal affairs is enough to make up for all his deficiencies. Isn't it just logistics in fighting wars, and Chen Xi's logistics is really too strong, Zhang Liang and Xiao He combined are far behind the current Chen Xi This kind of despair is terrible.

"Meals have to be eaten bite by bite. Although the plan was made early, it is really good to be able to advance step by step. 60,000 war horses and 110,000 rough horses are barely enough. Let's make do with it." Chen Xi touched Touching his chin, he said, Liu Bei would probably be overjoyed if this level was boasted to Liu Bei, but Chen Xi would be overjoyed if it was boasted to Chen Xi.

Not to mention anything else, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty died, one of the inheritances left to Emperor Wu was that there were 400,000 horses in the official racecourse; One hundred thousand!

As far as Jia Xu is now saying, he can sell 60,000 war horses and 110,000 rough horses. Sorry, the Han and Tang Dynasties at their peak said that we are not considered poor horses.

"..." Jia Xu was indifferent, and didn't want to talk to Chen Xi. Sixty thousand war horses is really a big number. This series means that there are about 200,000 horses in the official racecourse. In Jia Xu's view, this number It's very good to come.

Li You and Lu Su had completely stopped writing at this time, and they all listened carefully to what Jia Xu and Chen Xi said. Although they knew that there was such a thing, it was not their responsibility after all, and it was really unexpected to make it so big. The reason and Lu Su's expectation.

"By the way, I have moved the breeding industry that I have retained from the Taishan era to the northern pastures. The significance of scale is greater than you imagine." Chen Xi said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Lu Su turned his head to look at Li You and Jia Xu, Jia Xu nodded directly, because now all these breeding industries are hung in the state-run ranch under Jia Xu's responsibility, as for Li You, he nodded after a while , because he remembered that there was indeed such a mess at the beginning of last year.

"I found eleven aristocratic families to manage. As for the scale, Jia Wenhe should know best." Chen Xi said with a smile when he saw Lu Su and Li You start making eye contact.

"You can rest assured that Zichuan may plan to destroy the price of meat." Jia Xu said with a little helplessness, as if with a smile on his face. Xu still didn't understand, but he understood after taking over last year.

"Crush?" Li You looked at Jia Xu in confusion and said, while Chen Xi just smiled and said nothing.

In the later generations of large-scale farming, because of labor costs and other issues, developed countries can even lower the price of meat than vegetables. Of course, there is a big reason for this is the country's stable labor costs.

Although Chen Xi can't reach this level, it is still very easy to break down the current price of meat, which is dozens of times higher than the price of food. Scale-up can greatly reduce costs in many cases.

Chen Xi hadn't touched the northern grasslands before, so Chen Xi couldn't do this, so he could only keep saving silently to prepare for the capture of the northern grasslands at that time. After capturing the northern grasslands at the end of the previous year, Chen Xi's puzzle about logistics Got another chunk.

Therefore, at the beginning of last year, Chen Xi began to use various methods to exchange the northern grasslands they did not want from Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and then sprinkled the backhands he had prepared for four years on the grasslands. What to do next Just waiting for a good harvest.

To be more honest, after accumulating four years of background information, after finding a suitable pasture, it suddenly started to explode, and the first one to explode was the rabbit!

It took Chen Xi almost five years to give seedlings for free, and to carry out large-scale breeding at home. After five years, he successfully cultivated a group of professionals who are really proficient in various breeding industries.

Last year, Chen Xi sent all these people to Beijiang in one go, no matter how you raised them well, anyway, those who have been raised in the past five years must have been registered by him, and what is waiting is the pacification of Beijiang.

With no shortage of large-scale manpower, no shortage of technical personnel, no shortage of seedlings, no restrictions on the size of the breeding farms, and the country's full support behind it, there is no doubt that Chen Xi has brought the animal husbandry industry to the current stage in one go. to the highest degree.

Even if the scale is so large, it needs an independent elder to watch it personally. Under such circumstances, at most three years, Chen Xi will be able to stabilize the price of meat to a level that he can accept.

Of course, first of all, I need to thank Cookie. Without him to increase the grain production, even if Chen Xi wanted to build a large ranch, he would not be able to do so quickly without enough fine grains. Although the ranch is very good, it needs to be done quickly. Farming is not enough just to eat grass.

"Up to three years, I can reduce the price of meat to about ten times the price of food." Chen Xi said with a certain pride, "I have always made decisions before moving, not to mention, I have been engaged in logistics for so many years There shouldn't be any problems."

"What is the limit that the Beijiang ranch can bear?" Lu Su and Li You said almost at the same time, and they couldn't help but glance at each other after speaking.

Chen Xi nodded slightly, and then said, "You guys are indeed getting better and better, and you noticed this in an instant, um, according to the information I had someone collect, and the pasture planting that Han Mou studied back then, the northern Xinjiang pasture The carrying limit is 30 million head of cattle."

"Pfft!" Liu Ye and Liu Bei, who were drinking tea and listening to Chen Xi and Li You's arguments, spit out directly, and the others also stared at Chen Xi in astonishment, how could this be possible!

"I'm not joking." Chen Xi said, shaking his index finger.

Counting from Inner Mongolia, the entire Mongolian grassland is about 1.5 million square kilometers. At this time, it has not been desertified due to overgrazing. If pastures are planted to raise cattle, even if there are factors such as seasons and regions, it will not cause damage to the grasslands in northern Xinjiang. In case of any harm, 30 million cattle are no problem.

As for how this data came from, in fact, Chen Xi really has an accurate source, and even if there is no source, such a data can be calculated just by using the limit of the ground strength. After all, the later generations are only Outer Mongolia, with a population of 3 million, and large livestock. The number of herds exceeds 70 million, which is only half the size of the grassland currently in Chen Xi's hands.

Although it is absolutely impossible for Chen Xi to reach the level of the later Mongolia because of the quality of forage grass and refined grain additives, but under the grassland twice the size of the opponent, only one-fifth of the limit is required. As long as it is fully spread, it is completely No problem.

Listening to Chen Xi's detailed explanation, everyone present gradually understood where such a terrible statistic came from, and also understood why Chen Xi was so casual. Under the gradually completed northern Xinjiang ranch, the agricultural output may be the last. It may not be higher than animal husbandry.

After all, in the animal husbandry industry, in order to save trouble, Chen Xi went down with a knife and directly used the northern border that was run by the state. Even in northern Xinjiang, which had never been wanted by anyone, Chen Xi directly built a large national ranch in order to save trouble. According to Chen Xi's usual routine for so many years, he absolutely must enclose the entire northern Xinjiang prairie.

Under such circumstances, the tax revenue that agriculture can provide to the country is not as good as the output value of the country's large pastures, because the latter is not a tax at all, and even the land and the meat inside of the latter belong to the country. The aristocratic family of the venue has a certain interest in it.

"So, after the snowball rolls, you don't need other people to take care of it, and you will continue to grow by yourself. I never thought that I would not be able to support a mere hundred thousand soldiers!" Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "I am in charge The logistics will never collapse because of my actions."

"It will probably take a few years to complete the construction of the national ranch?" Lu Su opened his notepad, selected a few pages at the back, and wrote down casually in the place used to record important matters, asking while recording, so He didn't even notify him about the big things.

"Uh, my five-year plan includes the item of animal husbandry. I remember that I explained it in detail." Chen Xi said puzzledly. He can guarantee that he definitely gave a very detailed explanation on this part.

Hearing this, Li You pressed his temples and didn't want to talk. For the volume of the five-year plan, they all listened to their respective responsibilities, and then planned in detail to make sure it was correct. But if they want to talk, it seems that there is a part about animal husbandry, but it seems to be...

Li You glared at Jia Xu who was on the side, and Jia Xu immersed himself in writing and drawing like a normal person.
