Zhang Wuchao is an ordinary citizen in Longyoudao, and his life is neither good nor bad.

However, in recent years, there are various overseas interesting stories reported in the Datang Daily every day. Even if he is illiterate, he can still hear a lot of content.

Unwilling to be so poor all his life, he followed his younger brother Zhang Wuxian to Australia a few years ago and settled in Port-au-Prince.

As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty go to Port-au-Prince, they can get one thousand acres of grassland for free.

Whether you use these pastures to cultivate barley or to raise cattle and sheep, there is no problem.

If you have children, then the children will automatically own a thousand acres of pasture.

Therefore, if a family of seven or eight people is often able to own seven or eight acres of pasture.

Australia is really vast and sparsely populated. Li Chengqian simply issued an incentive policy later. As long as it is a Tang people, even if you buy an extra slave in your family, you can get an additional 500 acres of grassland.

The most important thing is that after the Tang Dynasty came to Port-au-Prince, they could still receive certain funding and obtain a wooden house almost for free.

Although these wooden houses cannot be very luxurious, there is no problem to prevent you from sleeping in the grassland overnight.

As the brothers Zhang Wuchao who arrived in Port Auspicious Parliament early, they are now a rancher with tens of thousands of acres of pastures.

However, unlike other people's large number of cattle and sheep, Zhang Wuchao's pasture, except for a small number of cattle and sheep, most of them are used to raise rabbits.

This was not his original intention, but the arrival of the rabbit was just doing it casually.

But the situation that followed developed completely differently from what he imagined.

"Brother, our rabbit meat workshop will be built as soon as possible. Otherwise, relying on those servants, I would be too busy to kill rabbits there every day."

Zhang Wu first wore a big cotton jacket and surrounded a large stove with Zhang Wuchao, with two rabbits baking on it.

The sizzling sound is full of temptation.

Since the existence of the Spice Island, the prices of spices in the Tang Dynasty have been declining, and now ordinary people have the opportunity to enjoy them.

As for Australia, the most popular merchant ships are from Puluzhong.

So there is no shortage of spices or something.

Even if it is a little more expensive than the Tang Dynasty, it is not much more expensive.

If Zhang Wuchao and the others want to eat it, they will naturally have no problem no matter how they want to use it.

"Didn't a large number of them have been sold a few days ago? This winter, another batch of rabbit houses should be built, right?"

Zhang Wuxian is mainly responsible for raising rabbits, while Zhang Wuchao is more responsible for external contacts and other matters.

Although the summer has just begun to enter the Turkic Chang'an City, it is winter in Port-au-Prince.

At the beginning, everyone was a little uncomfortable.

After staying for a long time, I don’t feel anything anymore.

"Brother, you don't know how fast those rabbits reproduce.

The winter here in Australia is not as cold as our Longyou Road, and rabbits do not lack food to eat.

If you let it go, the number of rabbits can double in just one month.”

Zhang Wuxian was really in pain and happiness at this time.

There was generally a lack of meat in this era.

Although rabbit meat is not as delicious as beef and mutton, it is also meat anyway.

After processing them, they are transported to Puluo for sale, which is still a very good business.

The most important thing is that the breeding speed of rabbits is too fast.

In later generations, in many societies, rabbits have been used as symbols of fertility and sexual vitality.

Some biologists calculated the breeding ability of rabbits based on an ideal mathematical model, and the result was definitely beyond everyone's imagination.

In theory, a pair of rabbits can breed more than a thousand rabbit groups in a year.

In other words, after you buy a pair of rabbits, you may have a thousand rabbits within one year.

Of course, what you buy must be a pair of male and female.

Why can rabbits reproduce at such an amazing rate?

From the perspective of biological evolution, rabbits are a very common source of food for various predators.

Whether it is a pack of wolves, eagles, night oxes and foxes, they will catch rabbits to eat.

To put it bluntly, in the environment in which rabbits live, almost all carnivorous animals use it as a food source.

Rabbits do not have special protection capabilities like hedgehogs or turtles.

When it encounters an enemy, it has almost no ability to resist except sneaking away.

At this time, if a rabbit wants to survive in nature, it must have super reproductive ability.

Otherwise, the seed would have been destroyed long ago.

From this perspective, it is estimated that it is relatively easy for everyone to understand why a pair of rabbits can turn into more than a thousand rabbits within a year.

Of course, this is a theoretical situation, and there are certainly differences in fact.

After all, this is calculated based on the breeding ability of rabbits through mathematical models.

The female rabbit is different from the ordinary mother. It can reproduce all year round.

And, as long as it has unfertilized eggs, it can be reproductive at any time.

Then it usually ovulates ten hours after mating.

In other words, it will ovulate only when there are tadpoles in its body.

This means it can be hit in one go!

There are so many infertile people in later generations, and I guess they are envious and jealous of the rabbit's reproductive ability.

This is just one of the reasons why rabbits have strong reproductive ability, and they are even more powerful.

Generally speaking, rabbits can give birth to a rabbit after about one month of pregnancy.

Among mammals, this speed is definitely fast.

The most important thing is that after giving birth to a rabbit, after a few days, the female rabbit will be able to start the next breeding.

In this way, a team of rabbits can give birth to about ten times a year.

Although there may be only five or six rabbits at a time, you can't stand the exponential growth of two and four.

A few years ago, the rabbits brought by Zhang Wuchao and his brothers from the Tang Dynasty have now bred hundreds of thousands of rabbits.

This is just a rabbit that falls within Zhang Wuxian's statistics range.

Some rabbits completely lost control after running into the wild, and no one knew how many rabbits they had given birth to outside.

Therefore, people hunt from time to time in the grasslands around Port-au-Prince, and the main prey is hares.

"Second brother, if we follow this development speed, our rabbit meat production will double several times next year.

We will have to buy many servants to be enough."

Zhang Wuchao and his younger brother learned about the breeding of rabbits in the pasture, and their mood was quite complicated.

In Port-au-Prince, it is very difficult to recruit people.

The people here are either small landlords, small merchants, or servants.

There are very few Tang people who rely on helping others to live.

Except for the persons like this in Li Chengqian's mansion, it is almost impossible to see in other places.

As long as you are a Tangren, you can own a thousand acres of pasture.

How many people are willing to be slaves to others?

Unless there are other benefits and reasons.

“Yes, it’s almost inevitable to double it.

Before, we basically only had rabbit meat and other furs and so on.

But recently I have carefully studied it and these rabbit furs can actually be treated like wool.

After processing it, it is used to make hats or blankets.

In the past, the number of rabbits was relatively limited, and there was nothing special about this business.

But now the number of rabbits has increased, and the future growth will be very fast.

So I wondered if I should start a rabbit fur treatment workshop too?"

Zhang Wuxian obviously has a lot of expectations for the future.

Around their ranch, many ranchers have improved their living standards very quickly in recent years.

Although they are not bad, they have no particularly obvious advantages.

But in the next few years, Zhang Wuxian feels that he has the confidence to surpass everyone.
