Chapter 193 The Great Khan visits the breeding farm, and the Great Khan wants to go to Tibet
"Don't worry, Khan! The matter of raw materials is easy to solve. Mongolian herdsmen can produce milk, butter, and wheat flour, whether it is the land of Xiliao, the land of Khwarazmo, or the land of Xixia.

As for eggs, just raise hens on a large scale. "Zhang Yong said.

When food production increases, not only chickens but also pigs will have to be raised. These two animals are the major producers of meat.

No, today's chickens have not undergone any improvements. They are all local chickens. The yield is definitely not as good as that of later generations of chickens, but you can do some breeding and selection yourself.

Try to increase the production of these two animals.

"Well! Actually, what I'm most worried about is sugar. I originally thought that if there was no sugar, I would use ghee, wheat flour, and milk to make the fried noodles you mentioned. But since you said that this beet can squeeze sugar, then I believe you. ." Genghis Khan nodded and said.

The only raw material missing from this compressed biscuit powder was white sugar, but after Zhang Yong proposed the method of using beets to refine sugar, they were no longer short of white sugar.

When sugar beets are planted on a large scale next year, Zhang Yong will build a sugar refinery to ensure the supply of sugar.

As for milk, eggs, wheat, and ghee, Mongolia still has plenty of these things.

And the most important thing is that this thing is very cost-effective as military rations. Genghis Khan could see the value of this thing at a glance.

Carrying such a dry item with you might be.It won't go bad for half a year or even a year. When needed, you can eat it as long as you have water. And they in Mongolia will carry livestock with them when they march and fight.

Things like mare's milk, goat's milk, and cow's milk will not go away. Even under some extreme conditions, Mongolian soldiers would drink horse blood to satisfy their hunger.

Genghis Khan estimated that as long as he carried a few kilograms of this compressed biscuit powder, put it in the saddle, and mixed it with water or milk wine, it would be enough for his soldiers to eat for more than half a month.

Judging from their Mongolian combat plan, fifteen days of dry food is already a lot. This stuff is much better than the previously invented meat floss and milk powder, and can even completely replace milk powder to a certain extent.

"Zhang Yong! I will give you three years to achieve large-scale mass production in your territory. Plant a large amount of sugar beets on your Guanzhong land and produce a large amount of sugar for me. Three years later.

I want to promote this method of making military rations to the entire army. "Genghis Khan said.

This thing is even more important than cured meat with floss and dried meat. When used with these foods, the combat effectiveness of the army will be doubled.

"The Great Khan's order! How dare Zhang Yong disobey?"

"Well! Okay, go back and rest. Let's go to Xining Mansion tomorrow. I lost 1 sheep to you in this bet. I will have them delivered to you soon. Be ready to receive them then!" Genghis Khan He nodded and spoke.

"Thank you, Khan!" Zhang Yong said.

This feeling is so good!I have more sheep under my hands, and I have enough meat for this year.

Early the next morning, Genghis Khan, Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai and others, with a dozen cavalrymen, drove all the way to Xining Prefecture in off-road vehicles.

It took a day to arrive near Xining Mansion.

It was already winter, and the herdsmen had already sent all their livestock over.

The person responsible for maintaining the operation of the breeding farm has already followed Zhang Yong's instructions to mark each herdsman's cattle and sheep in advance.

The method of marking is relatively primitive, which is to hit the sheep's buttocks with red-hot iron bumps.

Then the sheep screamed, leaving a very beautiful wool mark.

These marked livestock herds entered their respective greenhouses according to Zhang Yong's classification method. Zhang Yong completely copied the management method from the book. As for the practical aspects, it was left to the herdsmen themselves.

"This farm is quite big, and there are a lot of hay stacked here." Genghis Khan said while looking at the haystacks piled up into hills and pressed into square shapes.

When he was young, he also lived herding on the grassland, so he naturally knew the importance of hay to livestock in winter.

But on the grassland, the licorice they prepared was scattered randomly. It was not compressed into small squares like Zhang Yong's and then neatly stacked together.

"This method of compressing the forage into cubes is more convenient for storage, counting and retrieval. Compressing them into cubes can put more hay in the same place." Zhang Yong gave Genghis Khan a rough explanation.

Zhang Yong ordered the herdsmen to make an iron box mold for these hay materials, and then performed some simple compressions to compress them into hay blocks.

"Your method is good. After I returned to the grassland, I also asked the local herdsmen to imitate your method. Do I have to use iron to make the mold?" Genghis Khan asked.

"No! You can carve a piece of wood into a rectangle or square, put a lot of broken hay inside, and then squeeze it with stones to make such a hay block." Zhang Yong said.

"Make it with wood. There is a shortage of iron on the grassland. If it is iron, it is better to make it into pots or weapons. Use wood to press it!" On the grassland, they could only perform the simplest smelting in the past, and the technology was very crude.

It was not until he unified the entire grassland and established the Great Mongolia that he captured a large number of craftsmen on the grassland, and then a complete iron smelting system was established.

But even so, the annual amount of iron in Mongolia is not only used to make iron pots, but also to make weapons, such as scimitars, arrows, armor and the like.

This year Zhang Yong presented the thunder cannon. He didn’t have enough iron in Mongolia. He had to let more blacksmiths smelt it near Xiliao and the northern part of the Jin Kingdom so that he could have enough iron to make it. Thunder cannon.

"Khan! I'll take you inside to have a look."

Genghis Khan nodded and followed Zhang Yong deep into the breeding farm. Rows of neat and orderly houses lined up in front of Genghis Khan.

Countless cattle, sheep and horses were placed in these collective rooms, eating grass leisurely or lying on the ground.

Many herdsmen were gathering fodder, preparing food for these livestock, and then dealing with the excrement in the depths. When they saw Genghis Khan coming, they were immediately frightened and knelt on the ground, sweating profusely!

"Well! Go about your business and continue to take care of these livestock. How big is your place now? How many livestock can you store?" Genghis Khan asked.

"Khan! This place can accommodate a total of 80 million livestock. In winter, the stoves on both sides can be lit to burn sheep dung, cow dung, wood or coal.

In short, burn whatever you have.It can keep the entire farm warm in spring and summer.

There is a small river outside where you can get water for the livestock.

In the winter, I dug several wells here to get water. "Zhang Yong introduced the operation and management measures of the farm to Genghis Khan.

"You Han people still have brains. We Mongolians have lived on the grasslands for so many years and have never thought of this method. But you guys have figured it out." Genghis Khan said.

If half of the cattle and sheep will not freeze to death, then the number of cattle and sheep can be increased, and the number of herdsmen under his hands will also usher in an explosive growth.

Genghis Khan took a look at the breeding farm created by Zhang Yong and found it very suitable.

First of all, there is sufficient water and food.

There are also people who handle the animals' waste, feed them, and manage them.

"Bhan! After this farm is fully formed, it will be able to produce at least [-] to [-] sheep and cattle every year. Due to the growth cycle, it will take about two to three years to be produced," Zhang Yong said.

"Awesome! I knew you, Zhang Yong, were very powerful.

Hahaha!Your farm is really good. "Genghis Khan looked at Zhang Yong's breeding farm and nodded with great satisfaction.

But then the conversation changed and he asked.

"Zhang Yong! Your breeding farm seems perfect, but there is still a problem. Have you ever grazed on the grassland before?"

"Problem? Khan! Zhang Yong has never herded cattle before, but he knows some management techniques." Zhang Yong said.

Although I grew up in Xinjiang, I have never experienced the herding life.

Instead, go to the pastures of those herdsmen and the grassland farmhouses they run. I have visited and wandered around several times to eat the cattle and sheep that were slaughtered that day.

"Well! Do you know that once the number of cattle, sheep and livestock increases, they are very easy to get sick. Once they get sick, how do you prevent and treat them?" Genghis Khan asked.

This is an issue that he is more concerned about, and it is also a crucial issue. Livestock such as cattle and sheep reproduce very quickly. As long as there is a suitable place, their populations can grow rapidly.

But it will be accompanied by a large-scale plague, which is what the grassland herdsmen fear most.

In the past, the cattle and sheep of each family were raised separately. Once the plague occurred in any family's cattle and sheep, that family's cattle and sheep would be killed collectively.But with Zhang Yong’s farming method, all the cattle and sheep are gathered together.

If once infected, hundreds of thousands of livestock may die collectively.

And he knows better than anyone the horrific impact caused by the collective death of hundreds of thousands of livestock.

That was a complete large-scale plague, so he wanted to know if Zhang Yong had a solution?
"I have also considered reporting the Great Khan Plague. I have some herbs for cattle and sheep, as well as the allicin we took before, which can also solve this problem to a certain extent." Zhang Yong said.

Anti-inflammatory drugs are not only effective for humans, but are also very effective for animals. Allicin can at least ensure that the cattle and sheep you raise will not have any major problems within a few decades.

After a few years of developing penicillin, we will no longer be afraid of large-scale plagues. We can avoid these things by taking good protection against pests and diseases and spraying and bathing these livestock frequently.

Moreover, in spring, summer and autumn, these livestock are driven out by herdsmen to graze collectively, and they are only moved in during winter.

The most likely time for plague to occur is in summer because the weather is hot.Animals gathering together will attract a large number of mosquito bites, causing plague.

In the hottest summer, there are not many livestock in my farm.

There are even many breeding sheds that will be idle. Things like the plague can only be avoided and protected as much as possible.

Because even modern technology cannot guarantee the absolute elimination of the plague, so we can only try our best.

"Well! As long as you have a way to deal with it, you don't need to worry about it in winter.

The most feared thing is summer. The most terrifying thing is the outbreak of plague in summer. You must be careful. "Genghis Khan urged again and again.

Zhang Yong nodded, indicating that he understood.

Next, Zhang Yong spent a day with Genghis Khan.

We walked around the entire large breeding farm and visited various greenhouses for raising livestock.

"Well! When I met Bolu a few days ago! He praised me very much for the breeding farm you established here and said it was very magical.

If successful, let me extend it to the entire Mongolian grassland.

I thought this guy was exaggerating before, but after seeing the situation here today, I think it's feasible. "Genghis Khan said.

After learning that Genghis Khan was seriously ill, Polo, who was visiting Xining Prefecture, rushed back to the Mongolian camp without stopping. After learning that Genghis Khan had recovered from his injury, he reported what he had seen in Xining Prefecture to Genghis Khan.

In short, Zhang Yong was praised to the heavens, and this breeding farm was also praised to the heavens. That's why Genghis Khan was very curious about this breeding farm until he saw it today.Only then did I realize that what Bolu said was true.

"Great Khan! I told you before that if you want to promote this farm on a large scale, you must have suitable soil blocks, bricks and tiles in the local area.

Some coal also needs to be burned during winter operation. Of course, sheep dung and cow dung can also be substituted.A large amount of hay is also needed, as well as supporting management measures. "Zhang Yong said.

It’s not that easy to learn how to build a breeding farm like me!This seems very easy, but it is much more difficult to do.

Without the guidance of your own modern data, it is basically impossible to succeed.

Among my friends of military-civilian talents, there is really too much very practical knowledge, and this knowledge is my most precious wealth.

"Well! You should do it yourself first, and wait until you complete this breeding farm.

Let’s do some simple promotion.It’s really not possible on the Mongolian grasslands.

Just build a fence as you said, it's better than nothing. If you can save some livestock, save some livestock. "Genghis Khan said.

That night, Genghis Khan, Zhang Yong and others stayed in Xining Mansion.

Some local Xixia officials, as well as thousands of households of Mongolian herdsmen, all came together to pay homage.

Genghis Khan happily received these officials and herdsmen leaders who came to see him one by one.

"Well! Since I'm here, why don't those people from Tibet come to pay homage to me?" Genghis Khan said.

A big reason why he came to Xining Mansion was to look at his heart and surrender to his Tubo people.Although only a small part.

But they are also new members of the Mongolian Kingdom, now that they are here.

Just take a look. Genghis Khan was quite annoyed that the other party had no money to come to see him.

"Sweat! It's winter now.

The climate in Tubo is not very good, and communication between us is difficult. It may take ten days and a half for those Tibetan people to receive news of your arrival and then rush over.

So I made the decision and didn’t notify them to come. It’s not that they didn’t come to see the Great Khan, but they didn’t know about your arrival, the Great Khan. "Zhang Yong said quickly.

There is no way, the road is really difficult to walk in winter.

It's not like letting those Tibetan people come over in autumn and summer.

The round trip alone would take more than a month. By this time, he should have led his troops to attack Lintao Mansion.

"Yeah! What you said makes sense, in that case.

Zhang Yong, prepare your fast horses and ask your herdsmen to draw out a thousand cavalry to follow me.I want to visit the land of Tubo. "Genghis Khan said.

Holy shit, sweat!You are really a man of action. Did you make a mistake? Did you just leave?

Standing aside, Wo Guotai also rolled his eyes and was speechless for a while. His father Khan's character was too out-of-the-box. He would decide something on the spur of the moment and take action immediately.

"Profuse sweat! Your injury has just healed. It is really difficult for you to go to Tubo land now. If you go there, you may be injured." Zhang Yong said very tactfully.

These days, the reason why Genghis Khan can run around is because he pulls him in an off-road vehicle. But if he really wants the other party to ride a horse, the wound on his back will easily burst open, and he will be finished by then.

Don't let it happen that Genghis Khan did not fall in Xixia, but fell on the land of Tubo. Then the people of Tubo would suffer.

"Yes! Father Khan! Your body has just recovered. It is still not suitable for strenuous exercise. It is not easy for Zhang Yong's car to enter the Tubo territory, and it is not easy for you, Father Khan." Wo Kuotai also spoke at the side. advised.

"Hmph! Doesn't this kid Zhang Yong have a magic medicine? I can go up after taking some magic medicine, and their curses won't scare me anymore." Genghis Khan said.

With the magic medicine here, what should I be afraid of?The Tubo people's greatest reliance was gone.

Zhang Yong was speechless when he heard this. Khan, you really think my magic medicine is multi-functional!
The plateau climate of Tubo!I have medicine to treat it.

But those people were young men in their twenties and thirties, strong and strong.

After taking your own pills, you can indeed make do with living here.

But Khan, you are already over 60 years old, so don’t compare yourself with young people!
There was no other way, so Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai could only persuade them earnestly.

Genghis Khan was finally persuaded.

"Well! Then forget it this time, but next year.

Zhang Yong, you have to inform them in advance that I will come over next year.

When the time comes, I want them to come to see me. If possible, I also hope that more Tibetans will come to see me. "

Genghis Khan said meaningfully.
