Chapter 100: People's Livelihood And Skills

Tao Qian from Xuzhou still strongly supports Liu Bei. In addition to letting them borrow grain and other materials, he also sold a large amount of other materials at low-priced goods. To be honest, the existence of Xuzhou is the real reason for Liu Bei's good life, otherwise it will be harder to developed Taishan. After all, there are more than 300,000 mouths to feed...

Chen Xi has began to arrange people to try and raise chickens and ducks. Whether it is for meat or for the locusts that will basically come once every two years, just try it. Anyway, first try to raise it on a small scale, then wait for success and send the seedlings to a large scale place. There are about 200,000 households with 800,000 people, and preventing 2 million locusts tragedy will be possible

Anyway, in Chen Xi's thinking, 1 million chickens and ducks cost 300,000 yuan. If you spread it out, no one will pay attention. Anyway, a few books can be sold at this price. If it succeeds, it will probably increase the residents happiness. It's always good to have meat or something in this era. It also help you cultivate qi when you have enough to eat. A little qi is better than nothing...

Chen Xi started to do it, and issued a notice to find someone who is good at raising chickens. Let him try to raise a few hundred chickens, and it turns out that it is surprisingly easy to raise them. Then again, it seems that the creatures in this world have been constantly evolving over the course of four hundred years. Although the appearance has not changed much, the vitality has really risen.

But it seems right if you think about it. If the energy doesn't rise, it's probably difficult to extract the qi from the previous low-energy animals and plants. After all, the basis of martial arts is to be able to eat enough. If you don't have enough to eat, you can barely even sustain life. If the energy is not enough, how can you refine more advanced energy. Absorb it from the outside world? What a joke, it hasn't evolved to that yet. This is the ability of plants.

Since the chickens are easy to raise, Chen Xi is relieved. Each household with four people can raise ten chickens. It doesn't matter if a household has less than four people, since there would be household with more than four people and they would just be counted as a household with four people. Then a very magical scene happened. The people of Taishan became a family of four people, and it became easier to count.

As for the number of chickens being not enough. Chen Xi can only use the brainless methods to incubate and hatch the eggs. As for controlling the temperature around 40 degrees Celsius, it's not his business. There are so many people that there will be someone who knows how to distinguish the temperature. It doesn't matter to Chen Xi if all the eggs doesn't hatch.

After finishing these things, Chen Xi finally understood why there was no one raising chickens on large-scale in ancient times. The reason was too simple. There weren't many good seedlings.

Among the one million eggs there is no problem with finding eggs that can hatch. Just collect them from everywhere. The problem is that an old hen can only hatch 20 or so at a time, and the hen must be strong enough. How man old hens do you think there are? This is a big headache.

Professional matters are left to professional people. However, Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi with weird eyes. Chen Xi who came from a family and understanding these things are fundamentally unreasonable. Not to mention this kind of technology that has a huge effect on people's livelihood, not understanding the basics is a matter of course.

Chen Xi ignored the gaze of his colleagues. He was already magical anyway and he didn't care about being more magical. But Chen Xi was curious about the fact that when there are more people, some super-strong people would appear, such as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. When the number is large, certain monsters in horse skins will appear, such as the Chitu and the Night Jade Lion. What about the chickens? Chen Xi is very interested. Saying that he may be able to train a super chicken under his own hands...

Thinking about the super chicken with the level of internal qi air separation made him very emotional. With this idea, Chen Xi will raise a chicken slightly larger than normal. The chickens with full feathers were all sent down, but not to be eaten. Anyway, Chen Xi was very clear about the thinking of these people. The poor people of Taishan could finally have something to eat. Now that a bright future is in sight, they will definitely not eat up the hope.

As for the surplus chickens, Chen Xi threw them all to the chicken-breeder who was recruited by the notice. Now he has become a servant of the Chen family. Chen Xi kicked the guy out of the city and asked him to raise the chickens. The feed was allocated by Taishan government. But when the time comes, all the chickens will be fed to the Taishan army and only the roosters will be left. Chen Xi still does not understand how the group of people picked out nine hens and one rooster when the chickens are of the same size.

When Chen Xi came to Taishan, the things that people began to study vigorously were a little eye-catching. Things that Chen Xi wanted, such as the white porcelain with flowers did not appear, but the white porcelain which cannot be guarantee a steady production still finally came out. After a little experiment, he let them study how to make glass by burning. After burning for so long, a few sets of cup glass came out and most of them were very colorful. The only transparent cup was full of cracks. Fortunately, it does not leak and can barely be used. But even so, Liu Bei still called it a skillful workmanship.

Well, since it was coincidence, Chen Xi has sealed the kiln without a second word. It is now out of production. If you are not good enough, it is better not to produce the finished product. Now you only need to know the research direction. As for the finished products, Chen Xi took three sets away. The rest is left to Liu Bei.

As for the porcelain, Chen Xi took six pure white porcelain cups, and one porcelain pot. The rest belonged to Liu Bei. As for whom Liu Bei wanted to reward it with, it had nothing to do with Chen Xi. Anyway, this kind of shining object can be used to deceive people and will not have any problems.

In short, the things currently held by Chen Xi and Liu Bei are out of production. Whether they are used to contact warlords or to deepen friendship, they are all first-class treasures. At least Liu Bei thinks so, so Liu Bei had to endured the pain the next day. The innumerable cracks glass cup that he thought was an ingenious workmanship was beaten by the water-proof transparent glass cup, and was given to Chen Xi...

Chen Xi took the glass cup under the enviable gaze of Lu Su and the others, feeling that it would be bad to drink water with it. Just find a place to put it on. It would have been tossed away in modern times when it was rich in materials. If you dare to take it out when it was so badly made, the manufacturer's skin is probably comparable to a city wall.

As for the other glasses and porcelain, Liu Bei chose the best set and sent them to Chang'an quickly. The rest was given to Kong Rong and Tao Qian. For Gongsun Zan, he still gave food and grass more realistically...

Liu Bei is now wondering why Hua Xiong hasn't returned. As for accidents, Liu Bei didn't believe he couldn't take care of it all. Not just Hua Xiong's own strength, even the four thousand elites of Hua Xiong's are simply powerful in Liu Bei's eyes. In a big battle they can fight casually with 30% soldiers collapsing. Who would dare to provoke this kind of army? As long as the army is a magical group, with a little training, it can maintain the bloodiness and combat effectiveness of the previous establishment.

However, in view of Chen Xi's usual precautions, Liu Bei did not ask. At least, Chen Xi has not harmed him. Some things may have been delayed. Liu Bei comforted himself. In fact, he never thought that Hua Xiong was fighting bandits in Yongzhou.
