Chapter 137 Joint Stock Farm
Chapter 137 Joint Stock Farm
Locke said, "Madam, since the wool is so good, we can just go around and catch more sheep and beasts."
Chen Shiyue said: "We need to catch the sheep beast, but we don't want to kill it and bring it back alive."
Elder Kuwei was puzzled and asked, "Madam City Lord, wouldn't it be easier to catch the dead and bring them back?"
Chen Shiyue said: "If you catch a dead sheep and bring it back, you can only use its wool once to eat meat. If you catch it alive and raise it, you can keep shearing its wool."
Yinfeng asked: "Shiyue, what is raising?"
Chen Shiyue said: "Raising means building a sheepfold, locking the sheep in it, and feeding them with grass, or driving them to the grassland to eat grass at a fixed time every day, and then driving them back to the sheepfold and locking them up."
The pupils of all the animals widened. It seemed that this was actually possible.
Liefeng looked at Chen Shiyue deeply and said, "The method you mentioned is very good. Can other herbivores be raised in this way?"
Chen Shiyue nodded and said, "Yes, but not all herbivores are suitable for raising. Only some herbivores can be raised. You need to experiment with this."
Santa said, "It's easy to deal with normally, but in the cold season the sheep and beasts have no food to eat."
Yiyun said: "In the wild, during the cold season, sheep and beasts also need to survive, and they eat hay covered by snow. As long as we prepare hay in advance, the sheep can survive during the cold season."
Yinfeng said: "That's fine. We can build a tent and lock the sheep in it. We can prepare enough hay in the tent. The sheep can keep warm and use it as food. This way, the sheep can survive even in the cold season."
Liefeng said, "You called us here to discuss this, it's not just about raising sheep and beasts, right?"
Chen Shiyue nodded and said, "Yes, we in Yaocheng want to jointly open a livestock farm with Beifeng City, which is specially used to raise herbivorous animals. Both sides will provide a portion of orcs, and the wool produced will be divided equally between the two sides. Other animals can be slaughtered regularly during the winter season, and the two sides will also share them equally. I wonder if Beifeng City is willing."
Liefeng stared at the beautiful female and nodded solemnly, "Beifeng City agrees to jointly open a livestock farm with Yaocheng."
Yiyun was somewhat unhappy with Liefeng's gaze and frowned slightly, but ultimately did not stop him.
Langke said, "Since Lord Liefeng agrees, then we can discuss where to open a livestock farm, how many orcs each side should send, and what other beasts to raise besides sheep and beasts."
Chen Shiyue said, "Wait, there is one more thing I need to consult with the Lord of Liefeng City."
Liefeng looked at her, indifferent but gentle, and nodded, "You say."
Chen Shiyue said, "Your sister Lelan is a very smart female. I want to transfer Lelan to the Yaocheng Garment Factory, which is our Yaocheng factory that makes animal skin clothes, shoes and hats. We will set up a new workshop called the Textile Workshop, and let Lelan be the director of this workshop, responsible for textile matters."
Liefeng was slightly startled.
Lelan was immediately surprised and said, "Brother, I am willing to do so. I really like spinning wool. I want to do something and don't want to be a female who does nothing every day."
Liefeng looked at the somewhat excited A-mei and finally nodded, "Okay, but not unconditionally."
Yiyun said: "30% of the clothes produced in the textile workshop will be given to Beifeng City."
Liefeng shook his head and said, "Thirty percent is too little. We in Beifeng City can have more females."
Yiyun said: "Do you know how to weave clothes with wool? We have as many females in Yaocheng as in Beifeng City."
Liefeng said: "You account for 60% at most. I believe Lelan will perform well in the future."
Yiyun looked at the people from Yaocheng and sought their opinions with his eyes.
Yinfeng Langke and Mochen all said they had no objection. Although they knew that the development of the textile workshop could not be separated from the city lord's wife, the city lord's wife wanted Lelan to be the director of the workshop, which showed that Lelan was also a very smart female.
Yiyun nodded and said, "That's it. The clothes made in the textile workshop will be 60% from Yaocheng and 40% from Beifeng City."
Mo Chen asked, "How do you hire females in a textile factory?"
Chen Shiyue said: "We can hold a knitting competition. Any females from Yaocheng and Beifengcheng who want to participate can participate, and then select the females who knit quickly and well to enter the workshop."
Yinfeng said: "I think it's okay."
Liefeng said: "Let my Anda Abba stay with Lelan and help."
Yiyun nodded and said, "Okay." Having one more orc can not only protect the females, but also help with some heavy work.
After the textile workshop issue was settled, everyone started discussing where to set up the livestock farm.
Taking into account the food problem in the cold season, the livestock farm needs to raise a lot of animals, so the scale cannot be small.
Finally, Mo Chen said, "As for the location of the livestock farm, I think the grassland downstream is a good choice. It's not far from Yaocheng and Beifeng City, and has abundant water and grass."
The animals looked at each other and said, yes, the grassland was not very big, but it was indeed suitable for raising animals.
Now that the location has been decided, the next step is to discuss the personnel. The livestock farm will definitely need some orcs to take care of the animals, as well as orcs to manage them.
Orcs who take care of animals are easy to deal with, but orcs who manage livestock farms have certain requirements. After discussion, the two sides finally decided to send six orcs each, with Yang Qi from Yao City as the farm owner and Yuan Huo from Beifeng City as the deputy farm owner.
Next, we discussed what animals to raise. Sheep, cattle, deer, and rabbits were the most suitable and easy to catch.
Chen Shiyue suddenly realized that she had forgotten an important thing. When they were at the Grand Canyon, they had picked up bird eggs in the bamboo forest and cooked them to eat. Later, they had actually forgotten something as important as eggs. They had to raise chickens that could lay eggs. But, are there chickens in this world? If so, what should they be called? It seems that they have never seen orcs catch such small animals.
She coughed lightly and said, "Well, is it possible to raise some birds or animals that can lay eggs?"
Egg?
The orcs in North Wind City were confused.
Yinfeng and Langke also looked confused.
Mo Chen smiled and said, "Yes, how could I have forgotten to ask the orcs to pick up the eggs of birds and beasts during this period of time."
Yiyun also felt a little guilty. How could he have forgotten about this after returning from the trade fair?
Santa asked, "What is an egg?"
Mo Chen said, "It's just a brittle shell." As soon as he finished speaking, several orcs looked at him with indescribable expressions.
Mo Chen said calmly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this crispy shell, that is, the egg, is a good thing. After being cooked, the taste of the egg is no worse than that of animal meat."
Yiyun said to Chen Shiyue gently, "Next sunrise, I will ask the hunting team to send a few beastmen to look for bird and beast eggs."
Liefeng said: "Birds and beasts can fly, they mainly eat insects, so they can't be raised."
Chen Shiyue asked: "Is there any kind of thing that has poor flying ability but can lay eggs?"
Liefeng's eyes lit up and he asked, "You mean the Gulp Beast?"
Locke immediately said with some disdain: "The cuckoo beast, that little beast can indeed lay eggs, but it is not big, and its body is either hair or bones. It will starve in the cold winter. I don't want to eat the cuckoo beast."
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "Elder Locke, remember what you said. Don't snatch the food from the Guluo Beast when the time comes."
She turned to everyone and said, "This cackling beast is a very nutritious little animal. The processed cackling beast meat tastes better than many wild animals. It is best to eat some cackling beast meat after the female has just given birth. Cackling beasts are easy to feed. They can eat a lot of things, such as insects, grains, grass, and even our leftover food or broken bones. If you are worried that the cackling beast will fly away, you can cut off some of the feathers on its wings so that it can't fly."
Is this even possible? The beasts were stunned.
Is the Guluo beast delicious? Elder Locke regretted what he had just said. It was all his fault for talking too much. What if the beast was really delicious? Would he still be able to save his reputation?
Yinfeng asked, "What are grains?"
Chen Shiyue said: "We don't have any grain here yet, but the Sheep Tribe may have some."
Yiyun said: "Then let's raise some cuckoo beasts in the livestock farm."
After discussing for most of the day, the basic matters were finalized, and the next step was for both sides to send people to build the livestock farm.
Before leaving, Lelan hugged Chen Shiyue excitedly and said, "Madam City Lord, thank you for giving me the chance."
Yiyun hurriedly pulled his partner out of Lelan's arms and said, "Talk properly."
Lie Lan smiled and said, "Shiyue, thank you."
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's your own hard work and intelligence that got you this opportunity. I believe you can do well in the future."
Yiyun said, "Let's stop here today." Then he flew away with his partner in his arms.
Lelan looked at Yinfeng and said with a bright face: "Deputy City Lord Yinfeng."
Seeing that she was about to walk towards him, Yinfeng said, "Lord Liefeng, I'm leaving first. I'm very busy lately." Then he ran away.
Liefeng looked at Yinfeng's back and spoke as if he was not busy. Then he looked at his sister and found that she was looking at Yinfeng's back and smiling.
Lie Feng's face darkened and he said, "He is not suitable for you."
Lelan smiled and said, "Whether it is suitable or not, how can you know without trying it?"
