That's right, Wang Shouzhe doesn't understand animal husbandry.
But he knows the root of animal husbandry, which is to transform plants into meat, milk, wool, leather, draft horses, war horses, etc.! Therefore, he only needs to grasp the root cause, increase the quality of food and reduce the cost of food.
The rest will naturally be managed by the tribe and the old herdsmen.
For Wang Shouzhe, ten years ago, he began to suspect that the disaster of that year was caused by a family of heaven and man.
Therefore, while he started the investigation, he had already begun to study the industrial characteristics and weaknesses of the Celestial Huangfu and Celestial Lei.
The best way to deal with Huangfu is to start from the bottom of the animal husbandry, that is the most critical pasture in the animal husbandry - alfalfa and alfalfa. The output of this thing is not 10% higher, and it has a great impact on animal husbandry.
What's more, Wang Shouzhe has been cultivating alfalfa and alfalfa in his spare time over the years, which has gradually increased the unit output by 70%, and the palatability is better.
If it is to deal with Lei Shi, there is naturally a way to deal with Lei Shi. It's just that now that the truth has been revealed, the accident back then had nothing to do with Lei Shi, so the methods against Lei Shi can only be kept.
"Zong Wei, don't be too happy too early." Wang Luotong said seriously, "The centipede is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the Huangfu family is currently only the ancestor of Hua Ye who is restrained by injuries. Their family wealth accumulated over five hundred years Still, this battle is bound to be a protracted contest."
"The current patriarch of the Huangfu clan, Huangfu Jinhuan, is not very capable, but he has a lot of tricks." Wang Luotong said with a bit of disdain, but also with a serious expression, "Recently, the small actions in the past few pastures in our country Quite a few."
"Aunt Si is right." When Wang Zongwei mentioned this matter, he was quite confused, "After the beginning of spring, our new alfalfa has grown very vigorously, and it has also attracted many wolves. They are all rogue cultivators and gangsters. They are all dispersal actions, and a medicinal powder called paraquat is sprinkled in our acres of fields. This medicinal powder is extremely poisonous, once it is sprinkled, all grasses wither, and no grass will grow for many years."
Wang Shouzhe already knew about this matter.
The geographical location of Qianma Town is very good, it is the main traffic route between Changningwei and Anyuanwei. There is Anyuanguan in the north and Qianmabao in the south. Over a mountain range to the east is the territory of Donghaiwei.
Only the west side is bordered by Huangfu's Huangfu Ranch, and there is no barrier between them. Moreover, the border line is twenty or thirty miles away, and it is impossible to prevent infiltration from there.
In this world, casual cultivators are the least valuable, and they can take risks at will for a little convenience. As long as the Huangfu family is willing to pay, there are countless desperadoes that can be hired.
Those people acted secretly, and ran away every time after spraying paraquat. When Wang Luotong and other experts heard the news and rushed away, they didn't know where they went.
Guang Tianhong Ranch has a full 30,000 mu of pasture, how can it be prevented
Losing tens of acres of pasture fields every now and then is undoubtedly an extremely disgusting thing. Going on like this for many years will not only cause huge losses to the Wang family, but also make the ranch panic and fall into a downturn.
The Wang family also dispatched a patrol team of clan soldiers to patrol the edge of the pasture. Each patrol consisted of ten men, all armed and equipped with crossbow bolts.
But most casual cultivators are very slippery, and those who dare to take risks are veterans with good agility. The strength of the patrol team is very low, and their reactions cannot keep up with their dazzling movements, and the crossbow arrows often fail to hit people.
To deal with them, only powerful family generals and clansmen, or also hire a large number of casual cultivators. Wang Shouzhe has never had a good impression of casual cultivators, and it is easy to create a situation where it is easy to invite gods and difficult to send them away.
However, the generals and clansmen were already short of manpower. If Qianma Town was deployed in an all-round way, the rest of the town would be short of manpower.
"Fourth Uncle~" Wang Zongwei suggested cautiously, "I have also thought about this issue, and there are only two options at present, one is to second the generals and clansmen from other families, but this is facing a long-term confrontation process, maybe ten years or two Ten years is not a long-term solution after all.”
"Secondly, is it possible to properly absorb some casual cultivators? I know that fourth uncle, once you were bitten by a snake, you lack trust in casual cultivators. However, we only need to have a relationship with them."
"Fourth brother, what Zong Wei said is right." Wang Ruotong also remonstrated, "It is true that most casual cultivators are veterans who adapt to the wind. But given the price and the opportunity, they are still willing to risk their lives In addition, we can also conduct long-term observation and assessment on them by recruiting a large number of casual cultivators to do things. If there are really excellent people, they can still be gradually included in the family general or guest minister system."
While sipping tea, Wang Shouzhe began to think deeply. Ruotong and Zong Wei's suggestions were all based on reality. The current situation that the Wang family is facing is that the territory and wealth are expanding extremely fast, but the clan and family will not be able to keep up.
Because of Liu's and Zhao's experiences, Wang Shouzhe didn't trust Sanxiu very much. However, it is still possible to hire casual cultivators on a large scale and select some high-quality ones to serve as guest ministers.
"Ruotong, I'll leave it to you to try to operate at this time." Wang Shouzhe said after thinking for a while, "For casual cultivators, even if it is a profit cooperation, we can't get some cats or dogs in. Our Wang family has a way to solve the current crisis. Just look at it~ This is a new weapon developed in our science and technology research laboratory a while ago——a shotgun!"
As Wang Shouzhe said, he wiped the storage ring, and in his hand was a long, strange-looking thing. Its structure was somewhat like a blunderbuss, but the mouth of the barrel had a trumpet-shaped opening.
"Fourth Uncle~ What kind of weapon is this?" Wang Zongwei cheered up, he knew that Fourth Uncle's shots were always extraordinary.
"Just test it in the yard." Wang Shouzhe took Zong Wei and Ruotong to the yard, and ordered the family to find some wooden stakes and set them up.
Then he raised the shotgun, and without even aiming, he fired a shot in that direction at will.
"boom!"
Like the sound of lightning and thunder, countless fine steel balls sprayed out in the shape of a diffuse horn, covering the wooden piles several meters away. Several wooden stakes were blown upside down, and there were many potholes on them.
"This..." Wang Luotong's eyes tightened, shocked by this scene. Her cultivation has now reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, and she can be called a little master.
But she found that if she got closer, she might use Liu Xu's body skills to the extreme, and it would be difficult to escape the shotgun's attack range in an instant.
"I brought a total of one hundred shotguns." Wang Shouzhe said, "I also brought ten trained clan soldiers, and asked them to lead the patrol team to train and defend against the enemy. Great deterrent."
"Fourth Uncle, isn't this weapon too scary?" Wang Zongwei wiped his cold sweat and said, "If a team of patrolling clan soldiers shoots in unison, I'm afraid they will surely die if they come to the high-level Qi Refining Realm."
"It's not too scary." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said, "This shotgun is very powerful at close range. Ordinary soldiers can get used to it very quickly, and it can pose a great threat to ordinary monks in the Qi Refining Realm. But there are many shortcomings. Once fired, the black powder and steel balls must be refilled."
As a time traveler, how could Wang Shouzhe not use his gun brain? However, it is not small to manufacture firearms, first of all gunpowder. This is good, after all, alchemists are prosperous in this world, and gunpowder has already been invented.
But gunpowder is usually used in alchemy furnaces and mining. It is said that some craftsmen also tried to make it into firecrackers, but they gave up after a while, mainly because the power was too small.
At that time, Wang Shouzhe also wanted to make weapons such as ultra-long-range sniper rifles all at once, but any kind of high-tech equipment required too much front-end technology. Good firearms must use more sophisticated lathes, and Wang's Science and Technology Research Laboratory is currently only beginning to develop elementary hydraulic lathes.
Therefore, we can only simply get a shotgun sprayer for the clan soldiers to improve the combat effectiveness of the bottom layer.
As for technology such as the steam engine, Wang Shouzhe has long wanted to do it. The principle seems very simple, and the craftsmen in the scientific research room understand the principle, but in the actual research and development process, every step is a bumpy road.
It is estimated that it will not be decades, and it will be difficult to make a rudimentary steam engine.
In terms of scientific research, it takes a lot of time to toss and accumulate many things.
It is very difficult to mass-produce even a small steel ball.
The shotguns used can only be regarded as iron beads, not to mention easy to rust, and they are all strange shapes and sizes. Because the production process is very simple, iron beads are quickly produced by melting iron into a slurry and then spraying it out, cooling with air and water, so the overall quality can be good.
Only the right size is selected, and then finely polished by craftsmen before it can be used in ball bearings.
Most of the remaining steel balls can only be used as spray bullets.
Moreover, in the absence of a large number of basic industries, even the one hundred crude shotguns required the development of flintlock technology, which cost craftsmen a lot of time and money.
On average, each one cost more than ten pieces of dry gold.
At this price, you can buy a high-quality war horse, or two pretty girls and maids.
The only advantage is that it can make up for the lack of manpower at the bottom of the Wang family. And for the follow-up guns, the basic technical knowledge has been consolidated.
…
Soon, the clan soldiers brought by Wang Shouzhe integrated into the ranch patrol team. The rest of the patrol members, after simple training, quickly mastered the shotgun spray.
This thing is simpler than a crossbow, just pull the trigger in a general direction, but it is very troublesome to reload after one shot.
More than ten days passed in a hurry.
As spring gets stronger, two spring rains fall.
The 30,000 mu of pasture grass in Tianhong Ranch is already full of fragrant grass and growing very gratifyingly, just like "boundless" pasture grass, which contrasts with the blue sky, which makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Wang Feng!
As a seventeen-year-old girl family general, her grandparents have been born as loyal family generals of the Wang family for generations. In addition, he has low-grade C qualifications since he was a child, so he has been carefully cultivated by the Wang family since he was a child.
Her training and treatment standards are almost based on Wang's direct disciples, and she is allowed to practice Wang's Xuanyuan Jue and other family-inherited exercises.
And she worked hard since she was a child. Not only did she practice fast, but she also got very good grades in ethnology.
At this time, she was wearing a soft but defensive animal leather armor, riding a big maroon horse with a cloak on her back, and she looked quite heroic.
Behind her were eight carefully selected clan soldiers, all of whom were fully armed, with recently issued shotguns slung across their backs.
This day was sunny and sunny as usual.
The ranch patrol team led by Wang Feng is carrying out security patrol missions, and the main targets of deportation are casual cultivators from the direction of Huangfu Ranch.
It stands to reason that those casual cultivators usually come to make trouble when it is dark, and they come back when it is dark. In broad daylight, unless you have special support, you definitely dare not come to seek death.
Brother Murong.
They are a pair of well-known brothers in the casual cultivator group.
They are less than forty years old, but they have the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, and they are considered outstanding among casual cultivators. The most important thing is that this pair of brothers had a special opportunity to cultivate a special body technique called Xun Feng Shan.
Once the standing method is used, the speed of Xunfeng's flash is extremely fast, not to mention casual cultivators of the same level, even those one or two levels higher cannot catch up with them. Just a few months ago, they had come to Tianhong Ranch to make trouble.
He also played tricks on Wang Luotong, who had a higher level of cultivation.
Although Wang Luotong's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, and he has intensively practiced the "Liuxu Shenfa" handed down in his family, but Liuxu's movement method is more about ethereal and elusive, and it is quite effective in face-to-face battles.
However, if it is used for chasing, the speed is far inferior to Xun Fengshan.
On this day, they blatantly crossed the border, because intelligence showed that Wang Shouzhe had left. And Wang Xiaohan, the patriarch of the Lingtai Realm who guards Qianma Town, will also be restrained by the casual cultivators of the Lingtai Realm hired by Huangfu at a cost.
Their goal is not as simple as destroying dozens of acres of fields, but to prepare to injure a group of herdsmen who have already started cutting grass, so as to create panic in Tianhong Ranch and make the herdsmen work in panic.
At the same time as them, there were six or seven batches of casual cultivators. It's just that Brother Murong is regarded as the main force to complete the task.
On the edge of the tens of thousands of acres of pastures, the Murong brothers and Wang Feng's patrol team met unexpectedly.
"Hehehe, it turned out to be that beautiful little lady." Facing the patrol team, the Murong brothers did not retreat but advanced, and were going to play tricks first with their powerful body skills.
Their speed is extremely fast, it is very difficult for ordinary crossbow arrows to hit them, and they have always advanced and retreated freely.
The two of them were exercising their body skills, like a gust of wind blowing in the field. The speed erupted faster than a galloping horse, and at the same time they were accompanied by evil smiles: "Miss Wang Feng, we meet again. Come on, come on!" , to play with your Murong family brother~"
"Brother Murong!"
Wang Feng's expression froze, and he said angrily, "You are really daring to offend my Wang family so much, are you not afraid of my Wang family's revenge?"
"Hey, revenge?" Brother Murong approached quickly, stopped a few meters in front of the patrol blatantly, and continued with a strange smile, "No matter how strong your Wang family is, you are nothing more than a small overlord of Changning Guard. This mission, We brothers can get two thousand gold. Afterwards, the world is big, where can't we go?"
This is one of the reasons why Wang Shouzhe has always disliked casual cultivators. They have no roots and no roots, and all they think about is the idea that it will be a big deal for me to go to other places. How can I believe it
