Chapter 251 Handling Government Affairs
The first thing Jiang Tangtang did when she returned to Lingnan was to pay attention to the farmers' harvest this year.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after knowing that the early rice planting went smoothly and the harvest was abundant.
If farmers in Lingnan could grow three crops of rice, Lingnan would be able to accept more refugees. This would mean that more wasteland would be put into cultivation and the army could be expanded significantly.
It can be said that agriculture is the foundation of a country.
She summoned the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and made regulations and summaries on the next two rice seasons. Then she began to think about how to deal with the various wild fruits she brought back from the forest this time.
She planned to move some of the large-fruited figs out of the space, enclose an orchard, and open a winery. In addition to satisfying the consumption of local nobles, she also wanted to export them.
In addition, there are rabbits and wild goats brought back from the forest, which have to be raised on a large scale.
Although several rabbits were trampled to death during the rhino riot, the soldiers later caught a lot more, and with the help of the magical herbs, by the time Jiang Tangtang and his group returned to Lingnan, there were nearly a hundred rabbits.
With so many rabbits, we can set up a rabbit farm.
Jiang Tangtang summoned the animal husbandry officer from the Animal Husbandry Bureau and started arranging the rabbit breeding.
"We've brought back hundreds of rabbits from the mountains this time, and we plan to domesticate them. You'll find the right people and facilities, be responsible for breeding them, and summarize the breeding experience. Once we have enough rabbits, we'll promote them to the general public, and you'll develop a recycling policy."
As Jiang Tangtang was talking, she suddenly thought of a child. She paused, called Yuan San over, and asked, "How is Shi An doing on the island recently?"
Yuan San couldn't remember who Shi An was for a moment, "Why did Madam suddenly ask about Shi An?"
"I remember that little boy was very good at raising rabbits. I wonder if he continued to study rabbit breeding after going to the island?"
After Jiang Tangtang reminded him, Yuan Sancai finally remembered that Jiang Tangtang was talking about the father and son she had saved before. He carefully recalled the documents sent from Formosa Island every month and said uncertainly, "They should still be raising rabbits!"
Jiang Tangtang looked at him and almost understood that when Taiwan sent news every month, they would always focus on the most important news and said that children like Shi An probably would not be paid much attention to.
She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Send a message over there and ask Shi An if he's willing to come over and raise rabbits."
"Yes!" Yuan San took the order and left.
Jiang Tangtang continued to talk to the animal husbandry officer about the breeding of rabbits and wild goats.
"Madam, we are raising so many rabbits. Are we planning to export them?" Zhang Liang asked.
Although Lingnan seems to be thriving now, many common people are afraid of suffering and are still unwilling to spend money to buy meat.
The main consumer groups of meat are still some wealthy families who have migrated from other places, or major workshops.
Because many workshops need to work night shifts, in order to ensure the eyesight of the workshop workers, there is a strict requirement that the workshop meals must be a combination of meat and vegetables.
Although protein powder is mostly made from scraps, and sometimes even from small fish and shrimp shells, because the workshop workers are supported by meals, they have become a symbol of status in the eyes of the common people. Whenever the workshop recruits workers, the common people rush to sign up.
However, the workshop has many requirements for employment, and not everyone can be selected.
Therefore, nowadays, if a son or daughter worked in a workshop, they would often be envied by people from all over the village. Those who were not married would have matchmakers swarming their doors.
Jiang Tangtang already had an idea for selling rabbits. "I have a few fresh rabbit meat recipes that I'll promote in the restaurant. I'll also open a rabbit meat processing workshop, and some of the rabbit meat will be supplied to the military. You don't have to worry about selling the rabbit meat."
After hearing Jiang Tangtang's words, Zhang Liang licked his lips unconsciously. Madam's new recipe, must it be taught by an immortal again!
It must be delicious.
He must save money and wait until the time comes to go to the restaurant to try it.
While Zhang Liang was absent from duty, he reported to Jiang Tangtang several places that he thought were suitable for setting up rabbit farms.
As he was speaking, a majestic big tiger and a soft and cute little tiger suddenly walked in.
Zhang Liang had heard that his wife came back riding a big tiger, but he was still so scared when he saw it that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Tangtang smiled when she saw the big tiger. She waved at Zhang Liang and said, "Go down first! We can discuss the rest later."
Looking at the big tiger lying docilely beside Jiang Tangtang, Zhang Liang's eyes were full of envy.
Tigers are often seen as ferocious and frightening. But Madam could make such a ferocious tiger become as docile as a house cat. She truly deserves to be a disciple of a deity.
When Zhang Liang left, he left with not only a heart full of envy, but also a heart full of admiration.
Jiang Tangtang touched Lili's head and asked, "Are you tired of staying in the yard?"
The tiger was the king of the forest, but because of her selfishness, she brought it to the human settlement.
After Lili followed her back to Lingnan, she obviously lost the energy she had in the forest.
Jiang Tangtang felt a little guilty and wondered if she was too selfish.
Lili rubbed her palm, as if sensing her emotions and trying to comfort her.
Jiang Tangtang felt even more distressed for such a lovely baby. She squatted down, hugged Lili, and rubbed Haihai's head. "How about I take you back to Tianyin Mountain?"
Haihai suddenly hugged Jiang Tangtang's hand, and Lili also hugged Jiang Tangtang with her legs, indicating that they did not want to leave.
The two tigers were reluctant to leave, and Jiang Tangtang was also reluctant to let them go. She rubbed their fur, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk in the woods."
By the way, let’s take a look at where her big-fruit banyan garden is built.
She brought the big-fruited fig back directly after putting it in the space, and she couldn't leave it to the people below to handle like she did with the rabbits and wild goats.
The planting of this orchard must be done by her own hands.
The two tigers were overjoyed to hear they could go play in the forest. Lili even lay down in front of Jiang Tangtang, motioning her to sit on it.
"Lili, let's sit in the woods first. Let's keep a low profile for now." Jiang Tangtang smiled and smoothed Lili's fluffy tiger hair, feeling that she had reached the peak of her life.
Although Jiang Tangtang wanted to keep a low profile, it was impossible to do so when she was traveling with the two tigers.
As soon as they went out, they were surrounded by onlookers.
But everyone stayed away and didn't dare to get close to watch.
On the other side, Lu Shiyan, who was bringing the rhino back to the camp, was also surrounded by everyone.
"What is the General riding?"
"That looks a bit like a cow?" the soldier said, then shook his head and said, "Cows aren't that big, and they don't look like that."
"This is so impressive! Just looking at it makes my blood boil."
"See? It's running! It's running really fast and making a lot of noise! Is this a divine horse?"
"If I could ride a divine horse when I go into battle, I would have no regrets even if I died in battle!"
