READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 46 The Asahi
As early as the day when Wang Ge succeeded to the throne, Jian Shu, as one of the civil and military officials, had seen Wang Ge, but his status as a prince was not as good as Sangong, so he could only watch from a distance, and Wang Ge hadn't communicated much. .
After observing the enthronement ceremony, Jian Shu returned to the snake breeding ground in Liuyi Mountain to take care of the property and live up to his old age.
Jian Shu's impression of Wang Ge was half a year ago, and he had known for a long time that this His Highness had a knife-like gaze and a magical body. It was rumored that he could communicate with ghosts and gods.
But when they met again half a year later, Jian Shu noticed the change in His Highness, and secretly said:
"From my point of view, His Highness is full of blood, full of muscles, and has a posture like a rock, and is even closer to marching towards the ribs and tendons. At this age, with such a foundation in martial arts, the future potential can reach the realm of blood exchange, and even higher.
In addition, His Majesty's majesty is even more impressive, we, veterans who have experienced many battles, actually feel a little fearful and surrender in front of His Majesty, just like how we used to accompany the previous king."
Jian Shu commented in his heart that Wang Ge's martial arts cultivation surprised him, and Wang Ge's aura made him feel intimidated.
Even though he has a blood-changing cultivation level and has military achievements, Jian Shu still feels a little cautious and cautious in front of Wang Ge.
"Your Highness has an extraordinary aura. In the future, I will definitely be a dragon and a phoenix among people. I must not take it lightly."
Jian Shu reminded himself of his words and deeds in his heart, and silently lowered his head a little deeper during the audience.
The subtle changes of this lieutenant were all seen by Wang Ge, and he nodded slightly, thinking to himself:
"My pretending skills are getting more and more proficient."
It's not that he wants to show his prestige, it's just that he sits in the position of king of Yue, and he must have the corresponding majesty, so that his courtiers cannot despise him.
After showing his majestic side, Wang Ge withdrew the Eye of Mingling and the coercion of luck, and said with a slight smile:
"The Hou of Yi Township is exempt from courtesy. I have heard about it before I came. The Hou of Yi Township used to be a brave and powerful general who led troops well and made numerous military exploits. Seeing him today, he is really in high spirits."
Jian Shu suddenly felt relieved, and responded: "It is the duty of the minister to protect the family and the country. It is a great honor for the minister to be praised by His Highness."
After the scene was finished, the two walked into the snake farm.
Along the way, Wang Ge and Jian Shu talked extensively, some asked about Jian Shu's past achievements, and some asked about his current life, showing concern and concern.
This benefited Jian Zhu, and secretly said that His Highness is modest and treats people well.
The conversation was almost over, and a group of people also went to the breeding area where the vipers were raised.
It can be seen that the breeding area is surrounded by a fence built of rough wood. The fence is two feet high, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside, and a very strong smell of realgar can be smelled.
When they arrived, there happened to be a few handymen carrying bamboo cages containing live chickens.
Wang Ge roughly counted them at a glance, and there were about fifteen of them.
"This is the food for the viper." Jian Shu explained.
Seeing this, Wang Ge estimated that raising the snake would require daily food expenses. At the same time, he secretly opened the eyes of the Mingling, penetrated the visual barrier of the fence, and saw the snake raised inside the fence.
"It's just that in this area, there are fifteen snakes, and the longest one is six meters. The energy in the body is comparable to that of a leather warrior. A meal includes a live chicken. It is really not easy to raise."
Wang Ge appraised in his heart, and then they climbed up the fence to watch the fifteen snakes eating by.
Ordinary poultry are defenseless food in front of this vicious snake.
The snake crawled extremely fast, almost like a streak of flying past the shadows, and the live chicken as food almost had no time to react, so it was killed by the snake, opened its mouth wide and swallowed it directly,
The power of the asparagus is not low.
Some vipers don't like to take a deep breath when they eat. They will choose to whip their prey with their tails, throwing it out like a sharp whip, and even sucking out the air with a crackling sound.
Such a blow fell on the broiler chicken, and the feathers flew away in an instant. The live chicken wailed, lost all mobility, and fell sideways on the ground, unable to move.
Then the viper was rather slow, and swallowed the food bit by bit.
Boa snakes do not have the habit of chewing and swallowing slowly with their mouths. After swallowing food, the slender body of boa snakes can be seen to bulge.
But the viper's muscles are very strong, just by squeezing the muscles, it will crush the food bones in the esophagus, making a "click" sound, and you can also hear the wailing of living creatures.
The living creature didn't move until it fell into the intestines and stomach, and the size of the abdomen decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the digestion ability was evident.
The feeding process of the snake is like this. In addition to live chickens, there are other feeds. Wang Ge found that the cook picked up a basket of grains and a basket of iron powder.
Needless to say, grains are used as food supplements, and iron powder is another material for feeding cobras.
Wang Ge can see right now that the scales of the vipers in the field are all pitch black.
It is said that this kind of strange beast has a strong digestive power, and can digest and absorb metals and turn them into scales.
And depending on the type of absorbing metal, the color of the scales is also different. If it is ordinary iron powder, the scales will appear black iron color, and if it is copper, it will be purple red.
If you want to feed it with higher-level secret mines, the color will naturally be different, but there are also requirements for the snake king, at least it must be a snake king that has been raised for more than ten years, in order to digest the metal of the secret mine, and the scales grown out are stronger. sturdy.
"Natural good fortune is really miraculous, and this kind of creature is actually born."
Standing on the high platform and watching, Wang Ge couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In addition to the 15 rat snakes, there are other areas in the farm where rat snakes for different purposes are cultivated in different areas.
In the farm here, according to the needs, there are three types of breeding snakes:
beetle beetle, meat beetle, egg beetle
The beetle is specialized in producing scales. About every one to two years, the beetle will shed its skin, and the farm will specially feed a group of beetles with metal to make their slough hard and can be used to make snake scales.
Wang Ge just saw fifteen snakes, all of them were beetles, and then he visited other breeding areas led by Jian Shu.
Beetle beetles eat metals, and these metal elements will inevitably be found in their skin and flesh. Eating their meat may cause damage to the warrior's body and cause metal poisoning.
That's why there are meat gnats. The meat gnats' diet will not be mixed with metal dust, and the farm will let them eat clean food and produce clean snake meat.
After reaching a certain age, the meat will be slaughtered, skinned and deboned, and the meat will be chopped and cramped. It will be used as one of the secret ingredients of martial arts.
The last one is the egg snake. They are all female snakes. They do not take the skin or meat, but only the eggs. The fertilized eggs are used to hatch new snakes, and the unfertilized eggs are used as secret food for martial arts.
It can be said that this farm has fully developed the various functions of the snake. It can not only provide armor, but also serve as secret food for martial arts, and can also be used as medicine,
Not only can it meet the needs of the development of martial arts in the Yue Kingdom, but it can also be sold abroad to earn foreign exchange.
Asparagus snake is a major characteristic industry of Yue State.
As the king of Yue, after Wang Ge knew about it, he inevitably had the idea of increasing production.
However, considering that poultry is also needed to raise the snake, and a snake feeds a chicken every day, he knows that with the current productivity of the Yue country, it is impossible to achieve large-scale production.
"The local chickens raised in Yue country will take about eight months at the earliest to be ready for slaughter. If this is replaced by the white-feathered chickens of my Lanxing hometown, it will be ready for slaughter in seven weeks. Will the scale of the snake industry be doubled several times?
But after all, we still have to start agriculture first, so that we can have enough grain feed to support the development of the breeding industry.
If agriculture wants to increase production, it needs chemical fertilizers.
It just so happens that I have the idea of salvaging Jiaogu mud during this trip. Oh, besides Xianghu Lake, I also remember to use the Eye of Mingling to learn about the mineral resources of Yue State and see if there are other raw materials that can be used as fertilizers. "
Wang Ge's thoughts turned, as the king of Yue, he always thought of more.
But all of these had to be done after he obtained his second doppelganger.
"Those mature snakes are not the purpose of my trip. My avatar must be an unborn embryo with intelligence."
To put it simply, Wang Ge came to the farm for snake eggs.
Vipers usually mate in late summer and lay eggs in early autumn, and hatching takes about three months.
Wang Ge counted the time accurately, and coming to the farm at this time happened to be able to get snake eggs!
