Chapter 419 This is only part
Among ordinary people's families, if they can own a working ox or raise one or two big fat pigs, they can definitely be called a wealthy family.
At that time, when the Cui family was so wealthy in Xiling Village, only the headman's family raised a working ox.
It is used to plow the fields during the busy farming season, and it also earns a lot of money by pulling carts during normal times.
But what do they see now?
The Mo family had driven over a hundred cows into the village. Of these, only a dozen were the yellow cattle they were familiar with, and the rest were all black and white, completely different from what they knew oxen should look like. There were also hundreds of sheep and hundreds of fat pigs...
In fact, the villagers didn’t understand that the black and white one was a dairy cow.
This is because the Dashun Dynasty had very strict control over cattle. Any common people who had oxen for working had to register them with the government. To put it bluntly, in the Dashun Dynasty, oxen for working had household registration, and slaughtering them at will was like killing people.
He Zhiran doesn't want to challenge national policies just to make money. It's not that she is timid, but she feels that it is not worth breaking the law just to earn a small amount of money.
Therefore, the cattle raised on Mojia Ranch are mainly dairy cows.
The milk produced by the cows in her space produces much more milk than normal cows. Milk is also very valuable in this era, and the milk can also be processed deeply to make other delicious foods.
Calculated in this way, the profit from raising dairy cows will definitely not be less than that from raising beef cattle.
Herds of cattle, sheep and pigs had just been driven towards the foot of the mountain when more than a dozen ox carts loaded with chickens, ducks and geese arrived behind them.
The villagers had never seen such a grand scene before, and they all surrounded Mo Jiuye.
Zhao Lizheng was walking at the front of the crowd.
"Old Nine, have you made a fortune? You bought so many animals."
The village is the only way for Mo Jiuye to go home. He had already thought that he would be watched by the villagers when passing by here.
Anyway, they had no intention of hiding these poultry and livestock, and there was no need to do so.
The farm is built at the foot of the mountain, right next to the family’s farmland.
The farmland is managed by hired people, and everyone knows that the Mo family's farm is next to it.
"Uncle Zhao, these are just part of it. Don't we country people rely on the land and these things to make a living?"
Mo Jiuye said this so that Zhao Lizheng and the villagers could recognize the identity of the Mo family as soon as possible.
Today, the Mohists are no longer powerful people, but farmers who make a living by working like them.
At the same time, he also hopes that the next time he transports these poultry and livestock back, it will not cause such a sensation.
At the same time, he also considered that the scale of breeding might be expanded in the future, and these poultry and livestock would be transported to the village. He hoped that the villagers could face it calmly.
Unfortunately, Mo Jiuye overestimated the villagers' ability to accept.
People didn't consider the current status of the Mo family at all. They thought that the Mo family was a wealthy family, an absolute wealthy family.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Mohist school perfectly interpreted the meaning of this sentence.
Even though they were exiled here, they still lived a rich life.
Just imagine, how much silver would so many poultry and livestock be worth?
Not to mention so much, even if you give them a cow or a sheep, they will be regarded as the richest family by the villagers.
"What? You said this... this is only part of it?"
When Zhao Lizheng was speaking, his expression was extremely exaggerated, and his mouth remained wide open and could not be closed for a long time.
The same went for the other villagers. Their focus was on Mo Jiuye's words "This is only part of it". After Zhao Lizheng asked, they all stared at Mo Jiuye, waiting for his answer.
Faced with these simple villagers, Mo Jiuye was also helpless. It was not that he wanted to be high-profile, but he could not avoid the sight of these villagers when he transported poultry and livestock back again. He had thought that telling them in advance would allow them to be mentally prepared, but the result seemed to be a bit counterproductive.
However, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is only a small part. There may be a large number of poultry and livestock shipped back in the future."
The farm is very large, and there are not enough poultry and livestock at the moment.
Besides, the Mo family not only has a large number of people to support, but also Tao Ran and their families have settled in Xiling Village. Although they have also received some arable land from the Cui family, it is only enough to make a living, and it is basically impossible to improve their quality of life.
Besides, Tao Ran and the others are people of integrity and are unwilling to accept help from the Mohist school for nothing.
Now they are not just ordinary villagers in Xiling Village. The invasion of barbarians that happened some time ago reminds the Mo family not to take it lightly and to always take precautions.
Tao Ran and his old subordinates have now taken on this responsibility. In addition to helping with their own chores every day, they have also taken on the work of patrolling and prevention.
For this reason, Mo Jiuye planned to pay them monthly salaries as he did in the past at the border, but Tao Ran and the others refused to accept it no matter what.
In Tao Ran's words, their lives were given by Jiu Ye, and they would have no complaints even if they had to work like slaves for the Mohist School for the rest of their lives. How could they possibly let Jiu Ye pay their salaries out of his own pocket?
No matter how Mo Jiuye tried to reason with them, saying that their families also needed a good life, they just refused to accept it.
The old subordinates headed by Tao Ran said that the Mohist school provided them with a place to live and gave them farmland, which was already a lot.
Especially since the Mohist school is not in a very good situation now and has been exiled by the order of Emperor Shunwu, how can their life be better than theirs?
They were willing to follow the Mohist school because of the friendship they had shared through life and death, but they did not want to do anything to drag down the Mohist school.
But when it comes to Mo Jiuye, this matter has another meaning.
Tao Ran and the others are loyal to him and his father and brothers. Especially after he experienced escaping death as a medicine man, Mo Jiuye cherishes the friendship between them even more.
Not to mention giving them a house and farmland, he would be willing even if he had to support their family for the rest of their lives.
Mo Jiuye's behavior was not a pretense. All the finances of the Dashun and Southern Xinjiang treasuries were in his wife's space. Not to mention supporting them for a lifetime, even supporting the people of an entire city was no problem.
Unfortunately, he couldn't say this out loud, so he could only think of other ways to help them.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran agreed that raising these poultry and livestock was the best way to help them.
Tao Ran and the others are all martial artists and will definitely join the secret army in the future, but they have many families.
Farming is not a difficult task. Teenagers can herd cattle and sheep, women can raise chickens, ducks and geese, and even the elderly who are in better health can do it.
Therefore, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran discussed and decided to hand over the matters of the breeding farm to the families of Tao Ran and other old subordinates.
