Chicken and duck hatching has basically taken shape, and for Li Ming, the next most important thing is the issue of food. Chicken and duck breeding requires a lot of food, and using food is obviously unrealistic. After all, in this era, there is not even enough food for people to eat.

, where are the extra chickens and ducks to feed?

As for locusts, you have to wait until chickens and ducks grow to about a month before they can eat.

Naturally, food needs to be prepared in advance.

Fortunately, those who signed in that day not only had chicken and duck hatching technology, but also earthworm breeding technology.

Earthworms are a kind of organism commonly found in fertile soil. They mainly feed on humus, leaves, vegetable leaves, animal feces, etc. It can be said that earthworms are organisms with very mixed feeding habits. According to Chinese medicine books, earthworms are also called

"Earthworm" is a type of Chinese medicinal material. Earthworms contain very high protein and can be used as one of the sources of animal protein feed. They can not only be used as early food supplements, but can even be used as long-term food.

When cultivating earthworms, the choice of breeding site is relatively loose, whether it is in front of or behind the house, or professional indoor breeding, hotbed breeding, or other wide-mouth containers.

Li Ming got a few wooden baskets directly outside the fire pit and started to prepare them.

Compared with the hatching of chickens and ducks, earthworm breeding technology is undoubtedly much simpler.

Even the relatively complicated choice of bait is easy.

Because earthworms are relatively complex to eat, even if they are cultured in large quantities, the amount of feed used will be very large.

There may be many options to choose from, such as fresh cow dung, or fully decomposed pig dung, chicken dung, sheep dung and other livestock and poultry dung, which can have a brown appearance, no sour taste, and no odor. Cow dung has already been used in this era.

There are quite a few, especially near Chang'an, not to mention chicken manure. Once chickens are raised on a large scale, chicken manure will definitely not be a small amount.

But his series of actions are undoubtedly even weirder in everyone's eyes.

It is outrageous enough to say that you are hatching chickens and ducks.

Today, Prince Wei's Mansion actually goes to purchase cow dung. This time, the discussion is undoubtedly even bigger.

Everyone has even determined that there is a high probability that this King Wei is really abnormal.

There are more and more rumors in Chang'an.

There was a discussion from time to time.

Even Li Er in the palace heard some rumors.

"What's going on?"

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Wang De.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Wei seems to be stirring up something in the palace again. As for the rumors, it should be from the Prince's Palace..."

Wang De hesitated for a moment and then explained the situation.

"I, the prince, are simply making a fool of myself!"

"Since you are restless, please stay in confinement with me in the East Palace for a few days."

Listening to Wang De's narration, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, and then spoke with a cold snort.

"By the way, it is said that Kong Yingda will go to the East Palace to give lectures to the prince, and he will not go to Prince Wei's Mansion in the next few days."

"As for Zhang Liang, let him temporarily cancel his riding and shooting, return to the Northern Army, and reorganize his military affairs!"

As if thinking of something, Li Shimin suddenly spoke.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the bomb that Li Ming had made before. At this moment, he was afraid that Li Ming would make something again, so he directly pushed Kong Yingda away.

"Yes!"

Wang De was thoughtful and then nodded in agreement.

Then leave quickly.

When Wang De left, Li Shimin frowned, and then spoke again.

"Li Quan, please come over here and be responsible for protecting King Wei's safety. If you have anything, report to me immediately."

The words fell.

A figure suddenly appeared, knelt down on one knee towards Li Shimin, and responded respectfully.

Then it also disappeared.

After making arrangements, Li Shimin turned his attention to the desk again.

Although the Turks have been defeated now.

But there are still many things going on within Datang.

Li Shimin didn't even know if it was God who was dissatisfied with him for killing his brother and forcing his father. Since Zhenguan, natural disasters have occurred one after another in various places.

Since August this year, there has indeed been a drought in Chang'an.

This situation made him anxious.

Although he was somewhat looking forward to what Li Ming was up to, Li Shimin didn't put much thought into it.

This is all we can do.

Li Ming didn't know this at this time.

He didn't know that because of a bomb incident, Li Er completely changed his view of him.

He even attaches great importance to him.

Not only did he reprimand the prince for this, but he also temporarily dismissed Kong Yingda.

Of course, even if you know it.

He will not refuse.

Kong Yingda's expense is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

After all, he can have more time to hatch chickens and ducks and breed earthworms.

Able to quickly complete his previous plan.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, after today, I will temporarily go to His Highness the Crown Prince to teach. Your Highness King Wei will have a good time reviewing."

Kong Yingda sighed and looked at His Royal Highness King Wei in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

He was certain that His Royal Highness King Wei was normal, but it was too out of character.

It gave him a headache.

Now that he will be away for a few days, he can hardly imagine what this King Wei will become.

But he didn't dare to disobey Li Er's order.

"Don't worry, sir, I will have a great time reviewing these days!"

Li Ming spoke solemnly. As for how sincere his words were, only God knows.

"It's good for Your Highness to know!"

"Goodbye, old man!!"

Kong Yingda nodded, and then walked out of Prince Wei's Mansion with a sigh.

And this is not the only thing that surprises Li Ming.

Soon the afternoon mounted shooting was also temporarily cancelled.

Now, he almost had a whole day.

It can be said that work efficiency has improved instantly.

Next.

In less than three days, the cultivation cabin was ready.

As for earthworms.

Under the vigorous acquisitions of Prince Wei's Mansion, a lot was quickly obtained.

There are thousands of them.

With thousands of them.

Breeding began immediately.

Under normal circumstances, earthworms lay eggs once every three months. At a suitable temperature, they begin to hatch in about 14 days. One egg cocoon can hatch 3-4 small earthworms. The newly hatched small earthworms are milky white, 2-3

The queen turns pink immediately, and turns red when it grows to about 1 cm. Under artificial breeding conditions, it can reach maturity in about 42 days.

The first wave of chickens and ducks will most likely be difficult to eat if they are farmed.

But Li Ming is not in a hurry.

The road needs to be walked step by step, and the food must be eaten step by step.

As long as the first reproduction is completed, the subsequent earthworms will continue to improve exponentially.

At that time, we can completely provide subsequent chickens and ducks for consumption.

As for the problem of short-term chicken and duck breeding.

You can also directly use cereals and grains instead.

This will not have much impact on Prince Wei's Mansion.

Therefore, Li Ming is still very concerned about this.
