Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 426 - 328: The Rapidly Developing Livestock Industry!

Chapter 426: Chapter 328: The Rapidly Developing Livestock Industry!

The first rain in the New World came suddenly and departed just as suddenly.

Zhao Yi diverted to Xuanzhen Temple midway, intending to ask Miaoyin to send someone to inform the scattered farmers to pay attention to the rain, to avoid possible river formations, and prevent falling into water hazards.

Just at that moment, the rain abruptly stopped.

Zhao Yi was almost at the entrance of Xuanzhen Temple, suddenly neither able to advance nor retreat.

In the end, it was the little poisonous creature that resolved Zhao Yi’s predicament.

She suddenly appeared out of nowhere, staring eagerly at the bone Zhao Yi was holding, and asked curiously, "Master, what are you holding, is it something tasty?"

Zhao Yi looked at her in confusion, responding with a question instead, "Why are you here?"

The little poisonous creature replied naturally, "Miaoyin has already hired me as Xuanzhen Temple’s Chief Medical Officer, so of course I should be here, where else would I go?"

"You’re the Chief Medical Officer now?"

Zhao Yi thought about the series of great achievements by the little poisonous creature and suddenly his pupils trembled.

He looked inside and asked, "What exactly did Miaoyin say? Is she crazy to appoint you as the Chief Medical Officer?"

Evidently, the little poisonous creature was equally puzzled by Miaoyin’s arrangement.

She hesitated and said, "Could it be that Miaoyin discovered some other abilities of mine, which is why she’s employing me so highly?"

Zhao Yi was speechless.

This explanation was even more outrageous.

If not for her poisoning skills, Zhao Yi couldn’t think of anything else particularly remarkable about her, except for her exceptional appetite.

Just then, Miaoyin came from behind and said, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Zhao Yi turned around to see Miaoyin returning with a few subordinates.

Miaoyin nodded at Zhao Yi and then said to her subordinates, "You guys go ahead, don’t forget the matters I instructed earlier."

The female Taoists saluted Zhao Yi and headed to their respective quarters.

Retrieving his gaze from them, Zhao Yi asked Miaoyin, "What have you been up to just now?"

Miaoyin explained, "It rained earlier, so I took some people to the Royal Farm to check. There’s a batch of newly hatched chicks and ducklings there, and I was concerned that the caretakers might be slacking off, which would be troublesome if the little ones got caught in the rain."

Zhao Yi was surprised. He had been occupied with helping farmers build houses lately and hadn’t noticed that the farm had already started hatching chicks and ducklings.

"How are things progressing?" Zhao Yi became spirited.

The new crops from the New World are tasty, but people still need meat.

Zhao Yi had been nibbling on corn and eating plain rice for so long that his palate was yearning for something savory.

If he could drink some meat soup now, he’d want for nothing more.

Miaoyin smiled and said, "The little ones are doing quite well, eating and drinking heartily, and growing very fast."

"In fact, this is the fifth batch of chicks. The first few batches were seedlings from the Cultivation World, and although they grew well, they couldn’t digest the grains of the New World, not surviving for long."

"This batch, the fifth generation of seedlings, is almost entirely distinct from the traditional varieties of the Cultivation World; you could say they are entirely new breeds cultivated in the New World."

Miaoyin was evidently in a good mood; she was smiling as she spoke: "The fifth batch of chicks can fully digest the food of the New Era, and not only do they have no indigestion problems, but they can also quickly absorb nutrients from the new grains, growing extremely fast!"

Miaoyin added, "There’s just one thing, those little fellows have a huge appetite, eating more daily than a grown man."

"That’s not a problem." Zhao Yi waved his hand.

In the New World, everything is scarce except grain.

Zhao Yi was only worried about the chickens and ducks eating too little, not about there being insufficient grain for them.

As Zhao Yi thought of this, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

He asked Miaoyin, "Besides chickens and ducks, have pigs, cattle, and sheep been bred?"

Miaoyin understood immediately what Zhao Yi wanted to do.

Miaoyin said, "Pigs breed quickly; the sixth generation of new breeds is about to form."

"Actually, like chickens and ducks, the fifth generation of pigs could already digest the New World’s grains."

"The new breed of pigs not only has tender meat but also grows extremely fast, ready for slaughter in less than three months."

"However, the officials overseeing breeding reported further developmental potential, so I had them continue researching deeply!"

"Cattle and sheep are a bit slower, still in the fourth stage, needing at least a month to reach the fifth stage."

After hearing this, Zhao Yi laughed and said, "The Breeding Department has done a great job! Now, once these new breeds are distributed, those farmers won’t have to waste grain anymore."

Zhao Yi was too far removed from the fields.

Upon hearing about surplus grain, his first thought was to use industrial means like brewing wine and making sugar to solve the surplus issue.

Completely forgetting that the primary industry is also a major grain consumer.

The New World has no natural enemies, various tribulation thunders have wiped out countless bacteria and viruses; it’s perfectly suitable for developing animal husbandry.

Poultry and livestock consume the leftover grains, avoiding waste.

Farmers eat poultry and livestock, gaining strength to cultivate more grains, and thus raise more livestock.

In this way, the most basic and stable ecological cycle of the New World is formed.

After saying this, Zhao Yi remembered the purpose of his visit and informed Miaoyin of the rain precautions.

Contrary to Zhao Yi’s expectations, Miaoyin did not immediately respond to his words.

Zhao Yi asked, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Miaoyin sighed and said with a wry smile, "It’s still the original issue, the New World is too vast! Tens of millions of households are spread across the vast land, where you might not see a person for hundreds of miles, and the manpower of Xuanzhen Temple is limited, making it nearly impossible to inform everyone comprehensively!"

Zhao Yi nodded.

What Miaoyin said was indeed a matter Zhao Yi had been concerned with.

Recently, he had been busy building houses for the farmers.

After the previous Thunder Tribulation, farmers were more eager to live together, but achieving the kind of management situation Miaoyin mentioned was impossible in the short term.

After all, it took humanity thousands of years to develop from tribal to an agrarian society.

The current farmers can’t even be considered a tribal system, and with land separation and restrictions, integrating them is extremely difficult.

"Just have Xuanzhen Temple people keep an eye on things."

Zhao Yi didn’t force Miaoyin, as long as the current tasks were managed well.

The key driving force from tribal to agrarian was the enhancement of productivity.

With livestock, Zhao Yi believed that integration was just a matter of time.
