Of course, this place also has a name called Wuzhaibao Livestock Farm. The livestock farm covers a large area and started construction on April 13th to today's April 20th. It was just shortly after it was built. Like other parts of the farm, everything still looks rough.

Among these pig houses in the livestock farm, there are about 2,000 piglets, all of which have just been put into the pig house. Huang Laifu spent a lot of energy when buying these piglets. Generally, at this time, there were a few pigs in the farmhouses in the Ming Dynasty. It would be great if they raised a dozen pigs at most. Even if the sows were taken off, they could not get so many piglets. Where can I find 2,000 piglets at once?

Huang Laifu entrusted Qu Yuanrui to contact him since last year, and until now, he has only bought about 2,000 piglets from all over the country. It seems that Huang Laifu's plan to raise tens of thousands of pigs, or even hundreds of thousands, is not so easy to achieve. However, the scale of this animal farm is the largest in the Ming Dynasty.

Each of these little piglets is about 2 months old. When they buy one, they spend six cents of silver, and 2,000 heads cost about 1,200 taels of silver. If they can be fed for 4-6 months and 200 kilograms, they can get rid of the bean cakes, pig grass, wheat and other feeds, and straw used for pigs. A pig can earn about one tael of silver.

Also, piglets cannot always be bought outside, they have to produce them themselves. Generally speaking, a sow can produce more than a dozen puppies at a time, and it can produce them about twice a year. At this time, the market for the Ming Dynasty sows was about 10 taels of silver. Huang Laifu also bought 50 sows from various places and spent 500 taels of silver after many efforts. His future plan was to buy another 200 sows.

There are tens of thousands of fish in the pond next to the pig house, and there are also tens of thousands of chickens and ducks. When they buy chickens and ducks, one of them is about one cent silver, and each one can be sold for one yuan. Huang Laifu mainly lays eggs. After the chickens and ducks grow, it is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of eggs can be provided to Wuzhaibao every year.

Moreover, Huang Laifu has another plan to raise these chickens and ducks. At this time, there are often locust plagues in the Ming Dynasty. When locusts come, if they have to be driven away by manual means, I don’t know when they will arrive. If countless chickens and ducks are driven to eliminate these locusts, it will be a great benefit. Chicken and ducks are the natural enemies of locusts, and eating locusts cannot be compared with human power.

For this large animal farm, in addition to admiring Huang Laifu's courage, everyone in Wuzhai Fort was also very curious about this recycling breeding method. Some military households in the fort and the garrisons from the nearby first farm often came here to watch the fun.

The people working in this large animal farm are basically some military women from Wuzhai Fort, some elderly people who are able to work, and some children also come to release ducks. They basically have three dou of food per month, and as for the rewards, they are also imitating the various farms of Wuzhai Fort. It can be said that now, there is no idle person in Wuzhai Fort, and everyone is working everywhere.

At this time, some military women were busy in the large animal farm, feeding pigs, chickens and fish, while some military children drove the ducks to the Qinglian River to eat fish and shrimp. Although they were young, each of them also had a monthly pound of food every month.

As soon as the military craftsman Liu Yumei opened the pig pen, the piglets in the pen rushed up one after another, and they all rushed to eat, and one of them even pushed the other side.

Liu Yumei called out "noo" and scooped the pig food in the bucket into the trough of the pig pen. The little sister Liu Erniu next to her smiled and said, "Sister, these little pigs are so greedy."

Liu Yumei said: "It's good for pigs to eat. If they eat greedy, they will grow fast. Then by the end of the year, we will have pork to eat." She said while constantly scooping the pig food into the trough of the pig pen.

Liu Erniu clapped her hands and said, "Yes, the pork is so delicious."

Liu Yumei smiled and said, "I knew you were greedy, just like these little pigs."

The two talked and laughed. The same situation happened in other pig pens. The women in Wuzhaibao carried pig food, and some children were snotted around them. Everyone opened the pig pens and fed the pigs. Everyone was busy all the time. There were about dozens of women, elderly people and children working in this big animal farm.

These women were just doing some housework at home and staying for some of their men’s monthly food. However, Huang Laifu developed many places, and Wuzhaibaobao was seriously insufficient for labor, so a large number of Wuzhaibao women were hired to do these things of fighting pig grass and feeding pigs and chickens.

They can support their families themselves. These women are very happy and work very hard. Moreover, there are special supervisors in the large animal farm. If they do not work hard, they will be scolded at the least, and if they are deducted from the smallest food, they will even be driven out of the large animal farm. Therefore, no one dares to neglect them.

The military craftsman Liu Yumei is also among the hired women. She has three dou of food per month, and she will be rewarded if she does a good job. Liu Erniu either helps her sister with her work or sheds ducks, and has one dou of food per month.

"You are diligent in your work, don't be lazy."

Mr. Liu's wife Qian shouted at the busy group of women, turned around and said respectfully to Huang Laifu and others: "Young Master, go here." After the large animal farm was built, Mr. Qian also knew little about these women among the hired Wuzhaibao military women. Mr. Qian had met several times and appointed her as the manager of the large animal farm, and also had the intention of encouraging Mr. Liu.

His wife has become a person who manages dozens of people. Liu Zongqi is naturally overjoyed. Both the couple dare not neglect. Usually, Qian also does his best to do his best and does not dare to relax in the matters of the large animal farm.

Huang Laifu was also surrounded by Gu Yunniang, He Deputy Qianhu, Jiang Baihu, Yang Baihu, Qu Yuanrui and others. After he received the reward that the large animal farm had entered the track, he brought everyone to patrol. As soon as he arrived at the door of the large animal farm, Qian received the news, so he naturally did not dare to neglect and respectfully welcomed the group in.

Huang Laifu said "yes", and saw the busy scenery in the large animal farm at this time, everyone was working hard, and nodding with satisfaction. He said, "Sister Qian, you are doing well."

Qian's face immediately smiled, as if all her hard work was rewarded. She said repeatedly: "This is all a matter of duty, a matter of duty. We dare not relax at all the matter given by the eldest young master."

Huang Laifu nodded. Everyone said and walked, and came to a pig pen next to the military craftsman Liu Yumei. At this time, Liu Yumei was feeding pigs. When she saw Huang Laifu and his group of people coming, she hurriedly stood aside. When her sister Liu Erniu, who was beside her, was so scared that she hid behind her sister. (To be continued)
