Chapter 1261: A Gift of a Hat on the Way and a Talk About Raising Rabbits
There were many common people in the middle of the large team. The common people were traveling to Zheng County, or in that direction.
When caught up by a group, join in immediately.
The people walked on their own feet, and there were sleds in the team, which made it convenient for the people and saved dry food at the same time.
Lan Bao's family is not in a hurry. Yulin Feiqi has gone to Hongnong in advance and is probably already there.
Nantian Kazuko is working hard to practice speaking in Tang Dynasty, and the old lady looks very good.
"Brother, where are you going?" Li Yi asked when he saw a man in his thirties bringing a seven or eight-year-old child into the team and sitting on the same sled.
"Luxiang." The father hugged his son and placed him between his legs.
"What are you doing?" Li Yi continued to ask.
"The child's parents grow a greenhouse. Come over and help." The man answered questions.
"Sister-in-law didn't come with you?" Li Yi looked around.
"I went first. I took my little girl with me and others. I still have work to do at home. I'll go after I finish it."
The man put his hands on his son's ears and covered them, feeling cold.
Li Yi took off his brain and put it on the child's head: "This will keep you warm. What dry food did you bring?"
"Black bread, there are inns along the way, one every ten miles, so you don't have to worry about being unable to walk." The man said with an honest smile.
For the common people, a ten-mile journey solves a big problem. No matter what season it is, is it still impossible to hold on to a ten-mile journey?
There is a place where you can rest and there is free soup.
Brown bread is easy to store, cheap, a piece of bread, and very big.
It was written in the newspaper that black bread would not go wrong when eaten. Although bran was added to it, the overall price was definitely more than one yuan.
Nowadays, many places that employ people to grind flour on a large scale make black bread and sell it at a loss.
The flour miller who previously did not offer brown bread, or charged two cents a piece, now charges one cent a piece.
Not all those who buy black bread are poor. Brown bread is hard, not easy to break, and easy to eat when there is soup.
Sometimes people would keep a bunch of them at home, and then decide whether to eat rice or rice, and whether to eat better noodles or noodles.
If black bread is not provided for a penny, the people will not buy other things.
"Have you eaten in the morning?" Li Yi asked the child who put on the hat.
The child shook his head and said, "Get ready to eat at the next station."
"Go and ask who hasn't eaten yet. The cart will make pancakes and fruit. Each person will be given a set." Li Yi ordered without looking back.
A horse nearby jumped out to find someone to make pancakes and fruit.
Carts were hauling things and food was always available.
There was a look of expectation in the child's eyes, and he looked very happy. He had eaten pancakes and fruit.
"Dr. Li, it's a waste of money for you. A hat is fine. It will keep you warm after wearing it for a while."
The child's father reached out to take off his child's hat.
"It's time to give the child away. I've long since found this hat displeasing to my eyes, and I never had the chance to throw it away." Li Yi put his hand on the hat.
"How can this happen? It can't happen." The man was anxious.
"I still need a hat? I have money. Listen to me and wear it." Li Yi shook his head.
After saying that, he let go, and the man didn't dare to pick it off.
"Dr. Li, what kind of leather hat is it? It's so warm." The child was happy to get a hat.
"A dog-skin hat made of rabbit skin. The dog-skin hat refers to the shape." Li Yi explained.
His hat is not expensive, and does not require tiger or fox skin, just an ordinary wild rabbit.
There are many mountains, and sometimes the fields also come and go.
The reproduction speed is fast and the growth cycle is short.
The pancakes and fruits are ready and someone rides to deliver them.
Li Yi jumped off the sleigh and went to Li Longji's cart.
He asked Li Chengqi: "Brother, I thought of something. Just now the child asked me what leather my hat was made of."
"Rabbit skin." Li Chengqi gave the answer.
"I know it's rabbit skin. Let's try raising rabbits. I have a complete breeding method."
Li Yi used to have rabbits at home, and the Harbin rabbit he raised at that time was the Harbin White Rabbit.
Datang did not have this species, but there were other hares.
"Making money?" Li Chengqi was interested. There were so many rabbits now. As long as they were on the mountain, they could definitely catch them.
When crops are harvested in summer and autumn, some dogs will help bring rabbits in their mouths.
“Rabbits grow quickly, eat grass, and livestock have long reproductive cycles, unlike rabbits.
Rabbit meat is edible, and rabbit skin is used to make things.
One acre of land can easily raise 5,000 rabbits. From breeding to slaughtering, it takes about eight months. "
Li Yi said that data shows that raising rabbits is equally profitable compared to poultry.
The key is rabbit skin, which is more useful than chicken feathers. Although duck down is good, the yield is low.
"Let the common people raise them?" Li Chengqi immediately thought of the operation of raising pigs. Shopkeeper Liang and others built a large pig farm.
At the same time, we cooperated with the people in the state capitals north of Jingzhao Prefecture. The people raised the pigs according to the requirements, and the pig farms harvested the pigs, and the people got money.
Li Yi shook his head: "We can't ask the people to raise it by themselves. It's laborious. The number of breeding is small and it wastes time. It's better to do other work.
If you breed a large number of animals, you need space, or you need to nail the cages yourself, which is expensive.
In addition, many added things are not convenient for the people to obtain.
We find wasteland with low yields and no one is planting it, enclose it, and hire people to farm it. "
Li Yi was worried that the people would raise rabbits to death. UU Reading www.uukanshu.nett Rabbits die easily.
Without the use of antibiotics, the areas where rabbits roam and sleep must be cleaned up.
One household is not able to support the economy. If several or more than ten households cooperate, they will not work hard, and the big pot meal will not be tasty.
How to distribute the profits according to the work done?
Should we calculate the work points? Who is responsible for giving the work points?
Li Chengqi nodded: "Let's start collecting rabbits now?"
It snows in winter, and there are traces of rabbits on the mountain. Rabbits can't run fast enough on the snow.
But we can't set traps. If we set traps to catch rabbits, the rabbits will struggle, and the traps will get tighter and tighter, and finally the rabbits will be strangled to death.
We need to use nets, but if we use nets, we need people to guard them. We need to set the nets at night. If we catch rabbits, the rabbits can't get out and will be frozen to death.
What about traps? We need to raise intact rabbits, not disabled rabbits.
Train dogs to pounce on rabbits, but not bite them.
Or ride a horse, hold a net in your hand, and throw the net out to catch them.
If you are good at riding, you can reach out and catch rabbits. If you can catch sheep, you can catch rabbits.
"Training Yulin Flying Cavalry." Li Yi gave an idea. If you have the manpower, you can't use it.
"There are also 30,000 recruits training on Mount Taibai." Li Chengqi did not forget another army.
They were hired with money and prepared to fight in the plateau.
Now that we have so much food and drink, we should see the results of the training. It is better to send out teams to catch rabbits in various mountains.
"Yes, and clean up the wolves and wild boars by the way. We don't need so many wild animals."
Li Yi added that catching rabbits is the goal, and other wild animals should be caught.
Including tigers, if they can be caught alive, they will be kept in the zoo. Many animals have been sent from the southwest.
The zoo has more than just giant pandas, red pandas, and parrots.
The cost of feeding and care is a considerable expense. It is worth it for the people to be able to watch them.
