Chapter 1462 Gobi Ranch takes shape
As soon as Qu Mao said this, Liu Qianhui was obviously taken aback, and said, "Oh, Qu Mao, do you want to go there?
We returned to the territory of the Marquis of Shaliu on January 23. I have been busy in Shaliu City, and I haven't had time to go there. According to the owner of Green City, I should find a way to purchase 5,000 camels now. "
Shi Buhui said: "Master Liu, my subordinates have been staying in the fortress of the near future. After receiving your notice, they rushed all the way back to Shaliu City without stopping, and did not specifically investigate the growth of camel grass outside the nine fortresses.
However, walking all the way back, there is no doubt that the area has become a grassland. At least within 500 meters of the nine nearby fortresses, it must be suitable for grazing. After all, the subordinates are responsible for watering. "
Liu Yifei and Sha Yi said: They did see grasslands outside Yuexia City, but they were not sure whether the grasslands could supply 5,000 camels.
Qu Mao frowned, and said, "Liu Qianhui, why don't you rush to buy a camel, I'll go over there first, and I'll help you buy a camel later."
Liu Yifei said: "Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui, I have been stationed in Yuexia City for a long time, and Sha Yi is in charge of patrolling the Gobi pastures in the southeast of Yuexia City. Our two opinions should be more credible.
Within 500 meters outside the sandbag walls of the garrison fortresses, the camel pastures are basically 30 cm high, and they are so dense that the sand cannot be seen directly.
In the range of 500 meters to 1000 meters, the height of camel pasture reaches about 20 centimeters; but within 1 kilometer and within 2 kilometers, it is not particularly good, and there are even large open spaces. Even where there is camel pasture, the height of camel pasture may be No more than 10 cm. "
Shi Buhui said: "My lord, my lord Liu, when the lord of Green City started planting camel grass in October of the 14th year of Tianxuan, he once said that he could purchase camels for grazing by the end of January.
However, when he left Shaliu Hou Country to return to the Holy Land for a year-end summary meeting in late December, he said that he would try to delay the camel grazing until the end of February in the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, so that the camel pasture would grow more stably.
Currently, the growth of camel pasture meets the requirements of the owner of the green city, but whether the camels can be grazed and how many camels can be grazed is not clear to the subordinates. "
Sha Yi also said: "Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui, when I was inspecting the southeast two directions of Yuexia City, the situation was indeed as Liu Yifei said.
My opinion is: the natural environment outside the Marquis of Shaliu is harsh, and we have paid a huge price for every livable transformation achievement we have achieved, and with the support of the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory, these needs of our own are actually not enough. It's not urgent, and don't destroy our hard-won achievements in livable renovation just to meet your unnecessary needs.
In the area east and south of Yuexia City, I lingered the longest, because as long as the entire Shaliuhou Kingdom is green, there is such a grassland around our nine garrison fortresses. OK
If it is necessary to breed camels, I think that in the current situation of the Gobi Ranch, the forage around each fortress can graze at most about 500 camels, and the total number should be controlled within 4,500. Excluding the near-term fortress that is currently fighting, the total number of grazing camels Even it can only be controlled within 4000 heads. "
Liu Qianhui thought for a while and said, "What you said is correct. We have spent a lot of effort in planting the Gobi pasture, and now it has finally reached the current scale. We definitely can't just let the camels go up and eat it.
The lord of the Green City has not yet come again. Before leaving, he said that the root system of the camel herbage has not yet stabilized. Let us set aside one more month for the camel herbage to take root more firmly.
Qu Mao, after you go there, urge the garrisons in the fortresses to continue to accumulate domestic sewage and continue to water the camel pasture, so that the pasture root system of our Gobi pasture will become more stable. "
Qu Mao said: "Well, you don't have to worry. After I go over, on the one hand, I will replenish camel pasture seeds, and on the other hand, I will also try to expand the planting area of camel pasture.
The Marquis of Shaliu has no camels, mainly because it cannot guarantee the transportation from Xirong City to Metal City, Iron Ore City and Minmetals City, but the number does not need to be large.
First add 100 or 200 camels. It shouldn’t be a big problem to feed the tall pastures within the city walls of Xirong City. We don’t let the camels eat on the pastures by themselves, but hire residents to cut the pastures to feed the camels. The effect should be better.
The Gobi pasture outside the city of Yuexia, my personal opinion is to keep it first and expand the sowing area.
Let alone three months, if the Gobi can be transformed into a real grassland, I think it will only take half a year to a year to raise it. "
Su Nan said with a smile: "My lord, we also paid a considerable price for the camel pasture that grows within the walls of Xirong City, but there are priorities, so this arrangement is also appropriate."
Qu Mao said: "In southern Jiangsu, the camel pasture within the walls of Xirong City is currently only protecting the sand from direct sunlight, and has a greater decorative effect.
In the future, when new buildings are built in Xirong City, the current camel pasture will still be directly shoveled and used to stock up to 200 camels, which can be regarded as a compound utilization.
I think that based on the current planting area and effect of camel grass within the city wall of Xirong City, it should not be a big problem to supply 200 camels. "
Liu Qianhui said: "200 camels should be able to meet the transportation needs from Xirong City to Metal City, Iron Ore City and Minmetals City in the short term.
After the meeting, I first went to Xirong City to arrange for people to go to the Mughal Empire to purchase 200 camels, and waited for the 200 camels to be shipped back. It is estimated that it will be a month later. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Well, Liu Qianhui, go and buy camels.
After the meeting, I will personally go to Moon City to continue planting camel pastures in a new range beside the nine garrison fortresses to expand the range of Gobi pastures.
Shi Buhui, you have to continue to replenish the garrison forces for the nine garrison fortresses. If more soldiers are garrisoned, more domestic sewage will be accumulated every day. Anyway, except for the recent fortress, other fortresses are not fighting, so the garrison soldiers stay away from the sandbag wall Watering camel pasture 1 km away will also have no problem. "
Shi Buhui stood up and said: "Yes, my lord! This subordinate will return to Yuexia City with you. After the meeting, this subordinate must also return to the nearby fortress.
Replenishment of troops is not a big deal, the main thing is that Master Jiaxu needs to increase the daily supply of fresh water accordingly. "
Jiaxu stood up and said, "It's not new soldiers, it's just the soldiers' deployment. There is no problem with the fresh water supply."
