Chapter 145 145 Horse Farm

Chapter 146 Racecourse

The party didn't end until very late.

Ronin didn't remember how many dances he danced or how many glasses of wine he drank. In the end, he was so tired that he could only pretend to be drunk and let McCann and Tom help him out of the hall and return to his room to sleep.

The guest room in Iron Shoe Castle was very comfortable, much more spacious and elegant than the room in Shanlin Town. Luo Ning quickly fell asleep as soon as he lay on the soft bed.

the next day.

After enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by Iron Shoe Castle, Luo Ning first said hello to Viscount Marvin, and at the same time showed him the effects of armor and weapons such as Iron Shoe Armor.

Originally, Viscount Marvin was not interested in these things, but after seeing the effects with his own eyes, his view immediately changed.

Let’s not talk about the power of this kind of weapon made of wood, but this set of armor, chest protector, and shield can at least meet the armed needs of infantry and even junior knights.

He believed that there must be a large market for these things produced by the ironwood workshop in Shanlin Town.

Viscount Marvin did not lower the price and directly purchased the equipment at the price at which Wushanbao ordered it.

As for how Iron Shoe Fort makes a profit, it is nothing more than selling it at a higher price. Luo Ning did not ask the other party how much he was prepared to increase the price. This was not something he needed to consider.

Luo Ning left the equipment he carried with Viscount Marvin for the other party's research and publicity. He himself went to one of the horse farms in Iron Shoe Castle under the leadership of Rogner.

According to Rogner's introduction, the area of ​​this horse farm is not large, and there are only about a hundred horses raised, but there are war horses, riding horses, and pack horses.

Luo Ning rode on the cloud riding horse and looked at it.

The terrain of the racecourse is relatively flat, but there are also undulating hillsides. In addition to tall trees planted at the boundaries, there are also artificial fences.

On the east side of the horse farm, there are stables and a place for the horse herders to live. There are also houses on the other end. It is not known whether they are used to store feed or process horse manure.

"Why didn't you see the horse?" Luo Ning asked in surprise.

Rogner smiled and said, "You are coming here today, right? We asked the manager here to lock up all the horses in advance."

As he spoke, he took Luo Ning into the racecourse.

As soon as he entered the racecourse, to be precise, when Luo Ning got close to the racecourse, he could smell a faint pungent smell. This should be the smell of horse manure and grass mixed together. It was not a pleasant smell.

"Rogner, how does Iron Shoe Fort handle horse manure?" Luo Ning thought of this question.

He was indeed curious. With such a large-scale horse breeding in Muma City, a large amount of horse manure must be produced every day. If it is not properly handled, it will not only pollute the city's air, but also bring plagues and diseases.

"I don't know how to deal with it specifically, but I have learned about it. To be precise, dealing with horse manure is indeed one of the problems in Muma City."

Rogner said: "Generally speaking, horse farm managers will collect horse manure and then spread it on the idle grassland. Although there will be no grass growing on these grasslands that year, the grass will grow next year. Not bad.”

"However, this treatment is too wasteful of manpower. Many horse farm owners prefer to take the feces into uninhabited mountains and throw it away. Some people even choose to pile it directly in the city to save trouble and money."

He shrugged, "Iron Shoe Fort is very opposed to this last behavior. It will impose a high fine every time it is discovered, so it can barely control it, but some people will still let it go secretly."

Luo Ning nodded slightly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment he felt that the air in Muma City smelled a bit unpleasant.

"If I am willing to buy it, I wonder if the owners of these horse farms are willing to sell it?" he said thoughtfully.

"What?"

Rogner's eyes widened in surprise, "Did I hear you right? You said you wanted to buy these horse dung?"

Luo Ning nodded seriously, "Why, can't you?"

Rogner was even more surprised when he heard such certain words. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Is this person crazy?"

"Why did you acquire such a useless thing?"

"And how much manpower, time and money do you have to arrange to transport it from Muma City to Shanlin Town?"

"Also, if you are really prepared to acquire it, how much will it cost?"

Because it was too difficult to understand Luo Ning's idea, Luogna asked three questions in succession.

Luo Ning has his own considerations.

The excrement collection team of Shanlin Town has basically collected the excrement on the streets of the town. They are mixed with dead branches and leaves and other things and are fermenting together.

Although there are a lot of fertilizer piles now, it is enough to supply organic fertilizer for Luo Ning's experimental fields and some land.

But in the long run, it's obviously not enough.

After all, there are only so many people in Shanlin Town. Even if everyone is an expert at shitting, they won't be able to produce much feces in a day.

As for livestock and poultry such as horses, cattle, sheep, etc., the scale is small and the amount of manure is not large.

And more importantly, the people in the town are all good at it.

They saw that the lord not only collected excrement but also built toilets, and they gradually learned about fertilizer. Both of them regarded the excrement as a treasure and did not deal with it casually.

So if Luo Ning wants to get more fertilizer, buying it from outside might be a good choice.

There are so many horse breeders in Muma City and they produce a lot of horse manure, so it is a good choice.

"You're going to waste it anyway, so you might as well sell it to me."

Luo Ning didn't say how he wanted to use horse manure, but directly answered the other party's third question.

"If you are willing to sell, I am willing to pay 1 copper coin per..."

He hesitated for a moment, the price was not easy to set.

He thought for a while and said: "100 kilograms of horse manure for 1 copper coin, what do you think? Of course, I will be responsible for the manure."

"Are you sure?"

Rogner was shocked again, and immediately pulled a horse farm manager over to ask about the situation. When he learned that an adult horse produces about 13 kilograms of manure every day, he smiled and looked at Roning.

"Even if there are only 100 horses in this horse farm, you will spend 13 gold coins every year to collect their manure. There are at least 100 horse farms like the horse farm in Muma City. Do you spend hundreds of gold coins every year on purchasing horse manure?"

"Moreover, you have to send people and work hard to take it away and deal with it. Oh, my God, I don't know how to describe your behavior."

Roning touched his nose to hide the corners of his slightly raised mouth.

How much more food and vegetables can be grown with less than 500 gold coins per year to buy so much fertilizer?

He estimated that this should be a good thing, right?

"Rogner, if there is anyone who wants to sell it, please help me contact them. I can start to deal with this matter after I come back from Wushanbao this time."

Roning smiled and said, "Of course, please help me lower the price. If possible, 1 copper coin for 200 or 300 kilograms is the best!"

Rogner shook his head helplessly. It's not that he didn't help Roning, but he didn't quite understand the intention of Roning's approach. What benefits can he get?

"Okay, I can help you contact them."

He said, "I think there will be many horse farm owners lining up to ask you to help deal with the manure. By then, there will be so many dirty things that will bury your Shanlinbao."

"Hahaha, thank you very much!"

There is a lot of manure to be dealt with, so Roning will naturally not set up a fertilizer base in the town.

He will open up an area in the mountains to deal with these things. Anyway, the forest in the north is so big and uninhabited, so why not set it up anywhere?

After being processed into fertilizer, it will be used in Shanlin Town and the following villages, and the excess can be sold.

The horse manure may not be worth much, but the fertilizer sold will be worth a lot if people know the effect of fertilizer.

He didn't expect that when he came to buy a horse today, he also found a business opportunity.
