Chapter 458 Mount career
On the empty island, he followed the stone road to the different village of the empty island. Accompanied by a group of heroes and the managers of the empty island, Qu Mao went to two folding spaces to see the reclamation of the cultivated land.
At present, the cultivated land in the two folding spaces has been developed to a large extent, and there are probably 50,000 units of cultivated land in total, and they are all excellent-quality cultivated land. There are now more than 3,500 villagers in Kongdaoyi Village. Technical talents for militia, first-order fighters, second-order fighters, and other functional buildings.
There are about 2,500 pure farmers. Even if the different villages of Sky Island can still accommodate the population, the capacity is limited, unless there are a large number of resource mines on the ground of the different villages.
Afterwards, Qu Mao asked Meng De, Jia Xu, Lu Buer, Wang Mao and others to go about their own affairs, leaving only Franklin King to accompany him to continue wandering around the empty island.
When he first came from Kongdaogang Village, Qu Mao discovered that although the Gangcun is full of 250 households with a total of 572 people, since there is no arable land, and the Kongdao Wharf is not busy, these villagers are actually quite idle. Since they are idle, they are free people. status, so life is not good, and 72 babies belong to the natural growth population.
Accompanied by Franklin King, Qu Mao first went to Miao Village. Although it has not been half a year since Miao Village was built, because the villagers are selected from the old villagers, there is still a natural increase in population, although the number is far less than that of Hong Kong. Village and different villages.
The fish fry in Miao Village have been put into the fish ponds, but it may be that there is not much rain at present, so there is not much water in each fish pond.
Franklin King also explained: "My lord, the pasture coverage rate of Sky Island has reached 90%, but after all, it is artificial soil paved with gravel, and the daily water supply is still quite tight, so the folding space in different villages and the reservoirs everywhere Water is collected every day to irrigate pasture grass.
Miao Village is located in the fishing industry, so the water intake from the reservoir here is relatively restrained.
It is strange to say that since March, it should have entered the rainy season, which will last until the end of September, but since the rain in mid-April, it has not rained until now. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Let's transport water from outlying islands, but I took a quick look at the fish ponds in Miao Village, and it seems that there are no drainage safety measures. Once there is continuous heavy rain, the fish may run away, so in all A half-meter-high cofferdam with gaps should be built around the fish pond to ensure that even if the water level in the fish pond rises due to heavy rain, the fish will not run away."
Franklin King was a little confused, while Qu Mao took out a pen and paper, gave Franklin King a sketch, and ordered Franklin King to arrange the residents to carry out the construction.
When going to Muma Village, Qu Mao said: "Franklin, watering the pastures, projects in Miao Village, etc., can be arranged for the villagers of Gang Village to do, otherwise they have nothing to do, thinking about having children all day long. .
There is nothing wrong with having a baby, but now the medical conditions in the territory of Yi Village are limited, and a large number of children are born in a short period of time. I am worried that the medical treatment will not be able to keep up. "
Franklin King nodded and said, "Yes, my lord! My subordinates and lord Meng De also often consider the matter of increasing the income of the residents of Gang Village. My lord's suggestion for Miao Village is indeed very timely."
The two came to Muma Village. Although there are only 20 war horses and 50 cattle and sheep in Muma Village, the residents are relatively busy. After all, these 120 livestock must be controlled and cannot be eaten on the island. Green pastures are currently growing.
Qu Mao pointed to the horses, cattle and sheep, and said to Franklin King: "Franklin, the excrement of these livestock should be directly used as raw materials for pasture. I saw a lot of piles in the horse-grazing village, and it seems that they have not been processed. "
Franklin King said: "My lord, Sky Island was originally a deserted island with no trees at all. Residents, including Yicun, actually had no fuel. The herdsmen collected livestock manure and prepared to dry it as fuel. .”
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "We can do this in the future, but it is not necessary now.
Just go directly to Yi Island, Outlying Island, and Ji Island to transport it back, which also increases the amount of plant ash.
Now we have enough sea ships. In this way, there are three second-tier piers in the sky island, which can park 21 sea ships in total. Let's allocate 5 sea ships to the sky island for long-term use. "
Franklin King smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord!"
Qu Mao frowned suddenly, pointed to the horse pen and asked, "Franklin, the number of horses is wrong? Did Maffei buy any more horses later?"
Franklin King was taken aback, looked at Qu Mao's fingers, and then said, "My lord, Mr. Maffei did not continue to purchase war horses. I heard that the Yancheng Port Coastal Defense Battalion has been captured by our territory. In the future, you can purchase war horses at any time." If we want to purchase things anywhere, we will also choose to purchase them in winter.
Master, did you see that there are more pregnant mares?
This is because some slave horses who act as stage horses feel that it is a waste for stallions to miss this spring, so they discussed with Yukdodo Yuri and Jia Sixie, etc., and compressed the configuration of stage horses. Brought 20 female horses back to Kongdao for breeding. "
Qu Mao nodded, and asked, "Oh, all stallions are war horses, if they are bred with a rough horse, will the offspring also be war horses?"
Franklin King smiled wryly and said: "My lord, this... there is such a probability, but the probability is very low.
According to the communication between skilled herdsmen and their subordinates, it takes at least five generations of breeding and optimization for a poor horse to give birth to a war horse.
It takes at least three years for a foal to give birth, and after five generations, it will take at least fifteen years, my lord!
The subordinates just want to make full use of the stallions, and also increase the number of stage horses we produce ourselves. Even if the mares are nauseous horses, the quality of the posthorses produced by breeding with war horse stallions must be higher than that of naive horses.
I have been purchasing nauseous horses as stage horses, which is not a small expense for our territory of Yi Village. "
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Franklin, you are an old man in our Yi Village territory, and you always think about the development of our territory.
Is it necessary to distinguish between a pregnant war horse and a nasty horse? It seems to me that they are kept together now. "
Franklin King said: "My lord, war horses and nanny horses are marked, and the residents who know how to herd horses told their subordinates that it is better to keep these mares together.
In the future, planting grass in the Sky Island Ranch will be completely successful. In fact, after the war horse mares are pregnant, free-range breeding will be better for the war horses that will eventually be produced.
But now the conditions are not met, so they can only be raised in captivity. "
Qu Mao said: "Well, yes, is the Bison Rider's mount also raised here?"
Franklin King said: "The bison riders are not here, and their mounts are generally not kept here, because they are too wild."
