The next morning, the sky was a little cloudy. Large pieces of dark clouds covered the sun, but because there was no morning glow, no one brought rain gear when they went out.
Only the children were an exception. Ever since Xiao Bei and the rest liked to carry a treasure chest-like bag, the children had a lot of things in their school bags. The simplest thing was a light wooden board that fixed the front and back of the bag. When carried, it could correct the child's body to a certain extent.
The bag straps were designed as a 'pull knot.' Often, children would pull on other people's bag straps when they were playing. Some children wanted to tie a dead knot, and some were warned by the teacher again and again that it had to be a live knot. If they accidentally fell into the water, they had to pull open the live knot and hug the bag to increase their chances of survival.
There was also a leather bag of water and a piece of compressed biscuit in the bag. Every month, when the first biscuit was given, the child could eat the first biscuit. Everything was to increase the child's survival rate in case of an accident.
Of course, there was also a foldable umbrella. The children were very much looking forward to the sudden rain. They would hold the umbrella and watch others run in the rain.
It was especially so today. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the children began to look forward to it as soon as they went out.
After seeing a few children looking at the sky, Xiao Bei, who went out, also looked up and wondered, "The weather is not bad. At least it will be cool before the dark clouds are blown away. What are they looking at?"
"When it rains. Fortunately, there is an umbrella in the bag. If it was an inflatable rubber raft, wouldn't they be looking forward to a flood? It's best for the dog competition to be like today's weather. The dogs won't be very hot. "
Xiao Yuan had already seen a child take out an umbrella and draw a picture, but in the end, he put it back in disappointment.
"No, we have to choose a hot day and a rainy day to increase the difficulty of the competition. Then, we can choose a better dog and sell it at a higher price. We won't go back on our words, and we can make a lot of money."
Xiao Bei's mind was filled with money. Without money, he could not speak firmly. He had a lot of money on hand, so he could do whatever he wanted.
After saying that they could make a lot of money, Xiao Bei was once again in a difficult position. "The best dog for rent. What if after they rent a dog, it matches with the ordinary dog they bought? We can't send people to watch. The cost is too high. It's troublesome, really troublesome. "
When Xiao Bei said this, the other eight children also became silent.
Until they met with Song Dakang, the nine of them did not come up with any good ideas.
"Yesterday, we were discussing the matter of selling the dogs. Today, we have something to add. We need Boss Song to help us." Xiao Bei temporarily put aside the matter of preventing other people from matching up and said to Song Dakang.
Song Dakang had been happy the whole night and was still in a state of excitement. He nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Xiao Bei. I will definitely clean up all the dogs and sell them the best dogs. If I buy a lot, it's not impossible to give them a discount."
Xiao Bei was instantly defeated. He looked at Song Dakang and thought to himself, "The truth is that we're selling the best dog to others and still have to give them a discount. After a few years, when other people's dogs grow up, we'll close down our business?
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank all of you for giving me a good reputation. I swear to the heavens that I will never do anything that's shoddy. At that time, I will let the people who buy the dog feel that it is worth it. "Song Dakang raised his hand to the sky and swore.
"Boss Song, from the looks of it, we are getting more and more worried. We intend to choose a date, in the next few days, to hold a Tang Dog Competition. Our initial plan is to compete in ten events. Today, we asked you to come together to consider which ten events should it be. We will record the total score of each event and set the price. Boss Song, do you understand?"
Xiao Bei did not have the patience to persuade Song Dakang. He directly followed his own plan. Otherwise, if he really let Song Dakang do the business, he would be annoyed to death in the future. At the same time, he thought that it was fortunate that he and the others found Song Dakang. Otherwise, even if he got the loan, it would not take long for him to lose it.
Such an honest person, if he chose the wrong industry, it would be better for him to keep raising cows and sheep. With his honest reputation, it would be better for him to develop in the future.
Song Dakang was used to seeing Xiao Bei and the others as partners. In his heart, he did not think that they were young and immature. Perhaps they would make a wrong judgment, but he did not need to worry. The people behind them were very powerful.
Now that he heard that there was going to be a dog competition, he thought about it. First, he thought about it, then he became excited. In the end, he clapped his hands and said, "Good, good idea. When we hold a competition, we will pull out a banner and let other businessmen invest money to advertise their dogs. During the competition, advertising will increase the income. Smart, Xiao Bei is really smart.
Xiao Bei rubbed his face with his hands and said helplessly, "You also don't know now. We are cooperating with you just to earn some advertising fees? We might as well sell dog food ourselves. No, shepherd dogs don't eat dog food, unless you have a pet dog. Shepherd dogs need to fight with wild carnivores at critical moments. Feeding dog food will spoil it.
What we mean is … … we will decide based on the dog's score. We will not sell the best dog but rent it out. We will auction the average dog and sell the worst dog. We will think of a good program to show the dog's ability. Now, we are only worried about one thing. How can we guard against others renting dogs for breeding? "
Song Dakang was stunned. Obviously, it was different from what he had thought.
Xiao Yuan said impatiently, "That is to say, if we sell too many good dogs, people will raise them themselves and not buy our dogs. Are we going to file for bankruptcy? We can't afford to lose that face. "
"I know, I know. It's simple. We will not rent the best dog. We will only keep the best dog for breeding and rent the less good ones. In fact, you don't understand. My dog farm is not about good dogs. It depends on how they are trained.
Good dogs are like this. Give them a flock of sheep and give them a general location. They will go and raise the sheep themselves. Then, they will come back to eat meat. A meal of meat can last for many days. Outside, they will occasionally look for small animals to have a good meal.
A really good dog is a head dog. It will choose a place with good water plants and organize other dogs to guard the sheep. It will guard against, drive away, and kill foreign carnivores. It is not that a puppy can go out to graze after it is born and raised. "
Song Dakang was very confident when it came to professional matters. He smiled and introduced them to the little guys.
Xiao Bei's expression froze. "I … I see."
"Isn't that so? Most of the people in the grassland raise their own dogs and cooperate with people. When it is really powerful, dogs are more useful than people, but few people know how to raise them.
If you raise a good shepherd dog, you don't need to feed them very salty meat first so that they won't eat the livestock when they are grazing in the future. Instead, you tell them what they can eat and what they can't eat. Usually, they are fed beef, mutton, horse meat, and the like, including the offal in their stomachs.
Just like what Xiao Bei said, they must be fed dog food. Without some courage, how can they fight the wolves? The number of dogs in a pack depends on the situation of the surrounding wolves. The overall number of dogs must surpass the wolf pack. If a big nest of more than 20 wolves is found, people have to bring more dogs to encircle and suppress first.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, a dozen dogs will go out because wolves usually have less than ten. Most of the time, there are five, six, seven, or eight dogs. The head dog and two other dogs will restrain the head wolf, and the other dogs will kill it with their advantage in numbers. What we don't want to encounter the most is wolves in winter. When they are hungry, the battle will be very fierce.
Therefore, when winter comes, one reason is because there is not enough grass, most of it needs people to store it. Another reason is because it is cold outside, and the animals are not allowed to go too far. Once the snow thickens, they won't be able to eat the grass under the snow. "
Song Dakang was very willing to teach common sense to the little guys.
Xiao Bei and the others were scared when they heard this. Xiao Bei calmed down and asked, "Then, when they fight, will the dogs run away if they can't win?"
Song Dakang shook his head. "They won't run away in a fight to the death. I have personally participated in two fights with brothers I met on the grassland. At that time, the wolves were crazy with hunger. When they saw the people on horseback with knives and bows, they didn't run away. They just looked for opportunities to eat the sheep. They were very fast. The dogs fought with the wolves. We helped the dogs, but in the end, we drove the wolves away.
Some of them died. Of course, more wolves died. None of the remaining ones were intact. They were all covered in blood. From then on, I wanted to raise dogs. People started to think that I wanted to fight dogs and invited me, but I never participated. My dogs are the best. I can't let them get hurt in the hands of my own people. "
"What a poor dog. Uncle Song, don't worry. In the future, I will apply for a gun. When we encounter wolves biting dogs again, we will shoot them all down. Xiao Nan is very accurate with a gun. We have more dogs in our family. Most of them are sled dogs and rescue dogs. They are specially used to deal with situations where the road is blocked by snow.
In fact, the investment is not proportional to the output. It costs a lot to raise dogs, but we can't do without them. If something happens and the road is blocked by snow, it will be over. Why don't we not sell dogs and raise them ourselves? "
Xiao Bei was moved by the dogs. He compared the dogs to his family's Shui Yun family. He felt that no matter how much money others offered, they should not sell them.
Song Dakang said with a smile, "We still have to sell them. If others buy them, they will help others. The dogs I'm talking about are not ordinary dogs. They have to be specially trained. Otherwise, dogs will be very afraid of wolves."
"I've decided. In the future, if there is a ranch, 50 dogs will form a team and be sent out to patrol. The eagles will follow them. When they encounter bad guys, they will bite them together. If the opponent is too strong, they will defend first and let the eagles come back to report. The people will go with submachine guns.
Xiao Bei was thinking about the beautiful things in the future. That was, it was like his family. They would unite and deal with whoever they caught.
At this time, Song Dakang felt that Xiao Bei and the others were really children. Their thinking was too simple, but it was not good to directly attack them. He nodded and said, "Now let's start to discuss the ten points. When there is a chance in the future, you will really go to the ranch and see what the actual situation is like."
*****
Xiao Bei and the other nine people went to discuss the shepherd dog competition with others. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still at home dealing with the telegram sent back.
As previously arranged, the three lines of attack had been steadily advancing. However, the Duo Men were not willing to admit defeat. The fanaticism of religion was revealed at this moment. Clearly, the weapons were too inferior and they could not win, but they were always looking for opportunities.
For example, they would go in a big circle and ride horses to destroy the logistics line. Another example was to find some hay and branches, look at the direction of the wind, light a smoke, and use the smoke to launch a charge.
If it were the generals of the Tang Empire in the past, they might have a chance to succeed. However, after the battle with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the sand table, many generals did not make the same mistake. The Duo Men looked at the direction of the wind, and so did they. They were all scared. The smoke was too disgusting.
Every time the Duo Men made a move, the Tang Empire army would be prepared first. Everyone carried a wet towel at all times. Once the wind blew, they would turn around and run. As they ran, they would turn back and shoot. They would not defend at all.
The logistics were not worried about being suddenly attacked. They had firearms. When they were attacked by the enemy, they would take turns to rest. At the same time, they would occasionally fire to make the enemy unable to rest completely.
When the vanguard reached a certain depth, they would retreat and then push horizontally. When the enemy was riding on horseback, they would not chase and would only wander there. The purpose was to attract the Duo Men to send more troops over.
Zhang Xiaobao calculated how much ammunition he had to invest in and asked Wang Juan about the situation on the other side. "If we fight this war, we won't be able to achieve anything this winter. Where is our landing fleet?"
Wang Juan was looking at the military map. She would occasionally draw lines with her hand and shake her head to reject this strategic arrangement.
When she heard Zhang Xiaobao's question, Wang Juan frowned. "You are asking me? The information we got is the same. The fleet has gone out, and it is very inconvenient to communicate. There are no satellites, so everything depends on the commander. The Meteor Battle Squad probably hasn't caught up to them yet. It's still a long way to go. If Zhen La is honest enough, we can directly rush over with our guards. We'll have an extra attack team and catch the Man-Eating Army off guard.
"Then let's wait. It just so happens that the domestic situation has not reached what I expected." Zhang Xiaobao felt that time was passing too slowly. Many things needed to be accumulated over time to ferment.
Moreover, in the process of war, the consumption of domestic resources was not small. If they could not plunder enough resources from other places to replenish the domestic resources as soon as possible, in a few months, new problems would appear. It could not help but be vexed.
However, the current situation was beneficial to the Tang Empire. They could withdraw a front line of military forces at any time and switch from offense to defense to continue to restrain the Duo Men.
Wang Juan also knew why Zhang Xiaobao was so anxious. She comforted him. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. The domestic resources are only affected by the smelting. There are no other problems. Usually, the soldiers also eat food. The food that the animals in charge of transportation eat is not a problem. We now have more food than we can use up."
"Yes, we can't use it up in a short time, but it hasn't reached the point where we can store nine years of food. Even Xiaobei and the rest are so scared that they have started to stop selling cakes."
Zhang Xiaobao actually wanted to tell his younger brothers and sisters to continue selling cakes. The country had enough food. However, after thinking about it, it was better to let the little guys experience the tense domestic situation. If things went too smoothly, it would be harmful to their future development.
If the little guys could think of other ways to reverse the situation, it would be better.
Wang Juan looked at the map again and sneered. She analyzed to Zhang Xiaobao. "Since the Duo Men are a religious country, they have been fighting all the time. Now, they are fighting the elites of the Duo Men. They have deep beliefs and strong bodies. When the winter comes, many of their elites will die.
At the same time, when the fleet starts to land and fight, they have no elite soldiers to send out. They can only play a game of scorched earth. You can play to your advantage and use various means to weaken their internal unity.
I will send a message and see if I can contact the Meteor Squad. Then, I will see if the people in our canned food plan can paralyze the enemy and set a time to rescue the hostages. "
