Chapter 4331: just cause

Chen Xi couldn't bear it more or less. Compared with the speed-up problem caused by the change of heaven, the explosion of the Hall of Valor directly killed the stock, which is really too much.

There are about 3 million steers in more than 20 large pastures in the Han Dynasty. According to the number of slaughter, it can produce about 300,000 steers a year. However, because the people of the Han Dynasty are one-twentieth of the later generations, the Han Dynasty Taking beef as an example, the average consumption of meat is less than one-tenth of that of later generations.

There is no way, later generations are importing all over the world, as long as the meat is of good quality and large quantity, the Chinese emperors are working hard to import it, and these days, the Han Dynasty can only eat beef produced by themselves.

But even at this level, it can be considered the highest meat consumption in the world. After all, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps are not counted as meat. Only large animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs count as meat. The Han Dynasty is definitely the current meat. Most consumed on average.

However, this is not the limit of the Han Dynasty. In Chen Xi's words, let me see the limit of the prairie, and then all the grassland areas such as Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and Northern Xinjiang will be included in the pasture. According to the output ratio, it should be It can feed 7 million cows and produce 700,000 cattle a year.

Including more than 10 to 20 million sheep and nearly 10 million pigs that can be slaughtered in a year, the meat supply of the Han Dynasty should almost catch up with the level of later generations. After all, the land is vast and the population is sparse. Can play this kind of super ranch and super farm.

Of course, to play such a big game, the Han Dynasty must continuously absorb food for feed from Southeast Asia, and it is highly unlikely that it will be possible to rely entirely on pasture in northern Xinjiang.

It’s not that there are not so many kinds of grass, but grass contains too many calories than refined grains. The time and cost invested will drag the Han herdsmen to death, so try to develop the closed country and get more fish mixed with it from Southeast Asia. The fine grain of bone meal is the kingly way to engage in animal husbandry.

Originally, Chen Xi Yuanfeng's nine-year plan was to hit 3.3 million cattle on hand. By the time the second five-year plan is completed, the excess will be 20%, and the second five-year plan's cattle will be completed with about 3.8 million cattle on hand. Stock quantity.

After all, this thing is an indicator, and compared to sheep and pigs, the treatment of big animals like cows is better than that of ordinary people this year. In the era without Chen Xi, even the county magistrates need to come and see the dead cows What's the situation, now that there is Chen Xi, although it is not so exaggerated, the number of steers also has a stock index.

That was clearly written in the second five-year plan, one of the key assessment indicators, and it turns out that it is nothing now.

Before, it wasn't just Chen Xi who cared about pots and pans, but Chen Xi knew very well what the results would be if he mobilized the army to go to the major ranches in northern Xinjiang for screening.

Just look at those veterans who live in the pastures in northern Xinjiang and you will know that this sheep looks unspirited, so it was killed and eaten; this sheep ate too much, it was killed and eaten; this sheep dared to eat grass this year, will it eat grass next year People, you have to make a defensive strike first, let's go to the pot.

This is how the loss of 2,000 head of cattle a year in the Northland Ranch comes from, but Chen Xi thinks that cattle and sheep are not allowed to eat cattle and sheep, so they must be animals?

Therefore, he has always kept his eyes open and closed his eyes to this kind of behavior, as long as it doesn't cause a percentage loss in the accounts, Chen Xi will pretend that he doesn't know about it.

But if troops were dispatched to screen, the number of manslaughter would be too many.

That is basically equivalent to letting go and letting this group of people slaughter. Those who have problems will definitely die, and those who have no problems will also die. Chen Xi estimates that there are currently close to three million cattle, and let this group of people screen them once. Two and a half million is good.

This is not an exaggeration at all, so Chen Xi has been hesitating before.

As a result, after the incident at the Shandan Army Racecourse, Chen Xi realized that the loss of screening may be smaller. Although other legions will not directly take away 50% of you like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they will only give you some minors. Cows and horses, as well as breeding animals, and adult cattle and horses are basically all taken away, but there is absolutely no problem with this group of people taking a third of you.

So after comprehensive consideration, before the problem breaks out, start the screening, and you will be insured, so that the loss will be 20%, and if there is still a problem after the screening, the screening army will have to do follow-up work. Of course, if There was no problem in the first place, so it was useless.

However, for things like insurance, the larger the base, the closer it will be to the calculated value. Chen Xi's behavior, which is equivalent to insuring tens of millions of cattle, sheep and pigs, has a high probability that the loss will be very close to the fixed value in the end, which is more likely than gambling luck. The loss is much smaller, which is the meaning of mathematics.

"Then who will carry out the screening now?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and asked, since Chen Xi nodded, he must give at least some face and let Chen Xi choose first.

"Let Principal Zhu organize the manpower. This batch of students in the Taixue will accompany you as military officers, and you can share the rest." Chen Xi glanced at Zhuge Liang and said.

Chen Xi himself knows that this is a good job for any army that carries out the screening. Every large ranch has millions of cattle and sheep. It can produce 200,000 cattle, sheep and pigs.

"That's fine." Zhuge Liang nodded, and it would be best to let Zhu Jun divide it. After all, Zhu Jun would take the army north to the ranch for training every summer when he was free. He had done this kind of thing himself and knew how to divide it. , if it is Liu Bei, the palms and the backs of the hands are not easy to handle.

"Well, what I can say is, don't go too far, of course it's too much, and I won't express any opinions on this matter, but I will experience it myself when the time comes." Chen Xi thought for a while, and then ordered, Don't let him send a large army there, the work done by the large army is still as rough as the Xiliang people.

"Don't worry, it won't exceed 25%." Li You said confidently.

"Anyway, if you understand it yourself, I won't say anything. If you are as strong as Wenru, then I won't say anything." Chen Xi nodded in Li You's direction, "Anyway, the stock index of ten-year cattle in Yuanfeng is 300. 100,000, as long as you know it in your own mind."

"I remember that when the Great Court Meeting was held this year, there were already 2.96 million steers in stock?" Zhuge Liang added casually. The others glanced at Chen Xi and roughly understood why Chen Xi complained, but this was not enough to meet the target ? Don't panic.

"Anyway, I've said everything I need to say. Remember to send more orders to Northern Europe so that General Huangfu can smash it all for me." Chen Xi said in a bad tone, but he still gritted his teeth when he mentioned the shadow world of Northern Europe. mean.

"No problem, no problem, leave these to us." Fazheng said cheerfully, "Then I will give you the whole good news."

"What good news?" Chen Xi asked casually.

"Meng Kangbu's pirate plan has completely collapsed." Fazheng said with a smile.

"On the other hand, our fish production will drop this year?" Chen Xi said angrily. The fifth-generation ship can be overturned, which is indeed beyond Chen Xi's estimate.

"Probably not. Mi Zifang, the director of the East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Department, made a deal with Zhou Gongjin, willing to support Zhou Gongjin's outstanding fishing workers, but asked Governor Zhou to give them the priority of drawing the seventh-generation ships to the Ocean Fisheries Department." .” Fazheng explained casually.

Chen Xi was silent for a while, then recalled, and finally found the relevant content from a very remote corner of his memory.

The Department of Ocean Fisheries is a large fishery bureau that starts with the Chinese character, and it has the responsibility of training the navy. Therefore, the fishing boats and warships of the Fisheries Department are basically the same, and because they start with the Chinese character, they can be equipped with weapons.

Its armaments belong to the navy and are under the jurisdiction of Gan Ning, the navy chief. When the fishery department is separated from Chen Xi and distributed to other places, it is handed over to the navy's general logistics, and the navy's general logistics is Mi Fang, so Mi Fang and Zhou Yu discussed this issue. If so, there seems to be no problem.

"That's it, I can roughly understand what's going on." Chen Xi nodded and said.

Without the enlightenment of the world's creatures caused by the shattering of the Hall of Valor, it is unlikely that the Fisheries Department will eliminate the fifth-generation ships that are still the mainstream of the fishing industry, and naturally there is no need to update them.

Although the ships used by the Fisheries Department are exactly the same as those used by the Navy, the Navy has absolute priority. In fact, all the ships used by the Fisheries Department are eliminated by the Navy.

For example, Zhou Yu's castrated seventh-generation ships were beaten to pieces when he fought with Sailian back then. Although they can be repaired, they will definitely not be as good as new ships in all aspects. The boat was sold to Donglai Shipyard at a discounted price, replaced with a new boat and driven away. After that, Lu Jun and others repaired the old boat and sold it to Donghai Fisheries Department for another profit.

With just such a handover, Donglai Shipyard, which collects broken ships at a 30% discount, can earn the money to build a ship. This is the value of technology.

By the way, this is also the reason why Zhou Yu wants to get some second-rate technology from the east when he has nothing to do. It is also the reason why Chen Xi thought that he could not build a real battleship in the early years, so he still invested money. After all, this technology is constantly innovating.

It's a pity that the Hall of Valor in Northern Europe has exploded now, and the creatures all over the world have the possibility of being enlightened. There are so many animals in the sea, and naturally there are more enlightened ones. The beast is really difficult to deal with.

So much so that the development efficiency of the spirited animals in the sea is much higher than that of terrestrial animals. As a result, the ocean-going fishing boats used by the East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Division have suffered a large number of attacks, and the fifth-generation ships have suffered heavy losses in such attacks.

In consideration of personnel safety and fishing efficiency, at this time, only the fifth-generation ship can be eliminated, and the sixth-generation ship, or even the seventh-generation ship can be directly used. After all, even if it is a castrated version of the seventh-generation ship, the cloud gas storage technology obtained by Guishuang is enabled. After that, it can also kill the fierce beasts in the sea.

After all, the seventh-generation ships can really install turrets. Even if they are reluctant to go to heaven and earth to etch electromagnetic crossbows, permanent super-heavy etching crossbows, they can kill the beasts of the breaking world.

So after changing to the seventh-generation ship, the ocean can default to the same as the previous version for the Oceanic Fisheries Division. In essence, when you evolve, I also evolve, which means that everyone has not evolved. Mi Fang actually embraces it. with this thought.

As for the transfer of skilled sailors from the Oceanic Fisheries Department to serve as naval soldiers that Chen Xi and Zhou Yu had agreed upon, that is to say, the direction has been agreed upon, but how to implement it has not yet been discussed.

Although Chen Xi doesn't mind being prostituted by Zhou Yu in this matter, after all, the empire's seas and territories are still very important. With the background board gone, the Guishuang Navy will become real, and Chen Xi is also big-headed, but Mi Fang is different, and Mi Fang has to think about it. How should the general logistics of the navy operate.

Others would not be able to get the news, and they would have no way to tear it up with Zhou Yu, but Mi Fang is different. This guy is actually a veteran of the Liu Bei line, and has also penetrated into the core of the Naval Group. Now Zhou Yu and Mi Fang call the sailors of the Fisheries Department To discuss the issue, Zhou Yu really couldn't argue.

Zhou Yu's intention of prostitution is very clear, but facing Mi Fang, he really can't tell. Zhou Yu's intelligence information from the navy may be able to fool Chen Xi, who doesn't care much, but it is absolutely impossible to fool Mi Fang, who is the general logistics of the navy. !

This was embarrassing, so the two of them tore it back and forth. Up to now, according to Fazheng's estimation, Mi Fang can at least get half of the priority of the seventh-generation ships, that is, if twenty-four seventh-generation ships go to sea, Mi Fang Twelve of them can be taken in the order of 1, 3, 5, and 7.

As for Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu probably has to take the remaining twelve ships in the order of 2, 4, 6, and 8. This is still Chen Xi's promise, otherwise there is a high probability that this will become a seven-generation ship for replacement.

According to Fazheng's estimation, after Mi Fang's ship change, the fishing volume of the Fisheries Department will not drop significantly this year, and there is a high probability that Mi Fang will not dismantle the weapons already installed on this batch of warships. Armed with guns.

Of course, even if Zhou Yu reported this matter to the Political Yuan, it would not be able to solve any problems. Chen Xi did not want to maintain the two navies at the same time, more to maintain trust, and even sent Gan Ning to the Jiangdong Navy, just to maintain Zhuxia is one and trusts each other.

But now there is a definite reason that can be given, Fazheng and others are not stupid, so naturally they will not let it go.

With two huge navies at the same time, as long as they can afford it, they can maintain the stability of the sea area even if they encounter the accident like before.

The current turmoil of the sea monsters is a reason for the East China Sea Fisheries Department anyway.

Even if it is listed as the Fisheries Department, as long as it can operate a seventh-generation ship to attack fierce beasts at sea, and can maintain a large sea area suppression force on a regular basis, it doesn't really matter whether it is called a navy or not, anyway, what is needed is this power.

"Just let them continue talking." Chen Xi understood what was going on after a little thought. If it was for other reasons, he might stop it, but now, if it was an absolutely legitimate reason, Chen Xi would naturally turn a blind eye to it.

"Meng Kangbu's biggest threat to our sea area has been lifted, and the recovery of the fleet should also be slowed down." Guo Jia thought for a while and suggested, "Even if there are skilled sailors, it is better to train more."
