Hu Sanniang came over and glared at Chao Gai: "Okay, it's here so soon. From today on, I will go to my room every night."

"Okay, I won't go out until fifteenth."

"Fifteen, that won't work, that's only a few days."

This is the worry of having too many wives.

Hu Sanniang was going to practice again, and Chao Gai played with the golden mace against the double swords for a while.

Hu Sanniang's martial arts are among the best among the female players. She has a pair of double swords flying up and down, just like a butterfly, and this sword technique is practical, and it is no problem to fight ordinary martial arts. However, it is far worse than someone like Chao Gai who is powerful and powerful. However, it is almost the same for anyone who can compete with his wife.

At this moment, Da Zhuang came to report: "The owner of the manor, the caravan of Chai Daguanren of Cangzhou has arrived and brought 150 grassland hordes."

"Oh, so early, go and take a look."

Chao Gai drove to the village entrance inn. Chai Jin's caravan was quite large. Seventy or eighty people came and pulled more than two hundred mules.

Chai Xing, who led the team, came over to salute: "I have met Daguan Chao, this is a letter from my master."

"You are kind to the manager Chai. I have worked hard all the way and the house is warm."

The fireplace and the big kang in the guest room were warm and warm. Chao Gai looked carefully at Chai Jin's letter. Chai Jin said that he had met a caravan of Liao. The Great Liao Kingdom was defeated by the war with the Jin Kingdom and began to sell unpretentious grassland horses. The first batch of these first batch first check the quality, if Chao Gai liked it in the later period, there were a large number of them.

The two chatted for a while, and Chao Gai came out to see the horse.

In the stable, Huangfu was taking people to check them one by one.

External horses need to be kept in a separate pen for half a month.

This group of horses is very short, and the shoulder height of Yishui horses is about 1.35 meters tall.

The head is big, the mane is long, the neck is short, and the limbs are thick. Although it is short, the body is very strong, so it is still fine to carry ordinary people. In other words, the light cavalry is fully qualified, and the heavy cavalry is not good. The horse's weight-bearing ability is limited.

It weighs between 700 and 800 kilograms and is suitable for riding and pulling bikes. However, because the Song people like high-headed horses in the aesthetics of horses, there is almost no market for this grassland pony in the Song Dynasty, and its status is very embarrassing. Rich people are unwilling to buy it, and poor people cannot afford it.

Because everyone subconsciously believes that raising horses is very expensive, and in addition to eating grass, you also have to eat a lot of food. Ordinary people do not have enough food, so where can they eat the horses?

But Chao Gai was too familiar with this kind of horse. This is the famous Mongolian horse in later generations. It has strong endurance and rough feed resistance. Although it is not strong in impact, it has strong ability to travel long distances. It is no problem for light cavalry to march for more than 100 miles a day.

The most important thing is that the price is really cheap, which is different from the high-headed horses that can be used forty or fifty stakes and hundreds of stakes. The price of grassland horses is only 25 or six taels per horse. The price of breeding mares of two or three years old is even lower, just like fifteen or sixteen.

Chai Xing sighed: "There are as many horses on the grasslands of the Great Liao Kingdom as stars in the sky, but the stupid people of the Great Liao Kingdom refused to sell them to the Great Song Dynasty in order to limit the Great Song Dynasty. Even now, they are only willing to sell short horses and tall horses."

"How many people can a great official in the grassland Machai get?"

"Cangzhou is next to the border of Liao Kingdom, and the transit is relatively simple, and it is no problem to get a thousand heads a month. There are many deserted areas near Chaijiazhuang, so my owner decided to build a horse farm and raise one or two thousand heads."

"Okay, then I'll supply one hundred horses and four hundred mares to my house every month."

"No problem, the quantity is guaranteed. You can transport two or three hundred heads at a time and twice a month."

Huangfu Zheng was a little confused: "Mr. Chao, you can ride a cart after buying a horse. Although mares can also be used for farming, they are not ideal. Moreover, the horses produced in the farmland are not good at running, and riding horses are far inferior to those of grassland horses."

"Thank you, Mr., for reminding me that I plan to use a grassland mare and a tall aconite donkey to produce a strong black mule."

Huangfu Zheng praised: "This method is great. The grassland horses are low and thick, and the aconitum donkey is relatively strong. The horses and mules produced should be very strong. After training, they are first-class in farm work."

The inn shopkeeper arranged for the reception of Chai Xing but did not mention it. Huangfu was asked to arrange for the strong men to warm the horses and let the horses get rid of their fatigue along the way.

Let someone get corn stalks and sweet potato seedlings.

These two kinds of forages will be very large in the future, and local horses and donkeys love to eat them very much.

Unexpectedly, the grassland horses also like to eat very much. They also brought bean straw and straw for the grassland horses. They found that these grassland horses were not very picky in food and ate all kinds of forage.

These horses are all well trained and are here for a while. They will be arranged for the guard to ride.

Last year, there were thousands of black donkeys sent to Zengtou City, but now there are many more horses, and it has gradually formed a scale.

The farm uses oxen, mules and donkeys as the main animal powers, and basically realizes the transformation of animal powers. A livestock can correspond to fifty acres of land. In the farming era, the importance of large livestock is unparalleled.

After Gongsun Sheng sent to Yishui County, Zhu Wu took over the original Gongsun Sheng's affairs and was responsible for supervising agriculture and animal husbandry. He did not have to do specific work, but mainly coordinated in the center and contacted the upper and lower levels.

After resting for more than ten days, Zhu Wu took two assistants to inspect the cattle farm from Simmental and walked slowly to Beishan Pig Farm.

This was Zhu Wu’s first time to inspect it. There were three large pig farms with three miles apart.

The first pig farm, which was just cleared before the New Year, turned out that all the fat pigs with 200 to 300 kilograms were cleared.

Now there are more than 500 pigs of twenty or thirty kilograms, running and playing in the open space.

The sports field is large, which can ensure sufficient activity of pigs and reduce illness.

Looking at the piglets all over the field, Zhu Wu remembered his hometown, Zhujia Village.

No one is born a bandit. Zhujia Village is rich and beautiful, and the land is fertile.

Zhu Wu is the owner of the manor, and the small village is not big, with more than 200 households and less than 1,500 people.

Every household raises pigs, every household has meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, and life is considered rich.

However, this year broke the original peace. The Western Xia soldiers and the Song army fought in Haoshuichuan, and the border was tight.

That autumn, the county tax collector just arrived after just harvesting the grain.

He hurriedly collected the autumn grains of each family. The border was tight and the people should pay the grains. Zhu Wu assisted the tax collector to collect the grains.

Who knew that just half a month later, the tax collector and the constable came again.

This time I opened my mouth to hand over two hundred fat pigs to work hard.

Every household in Zhujiazhuang raises pigs well, but the family only has one or two heads. They raise them in spring and they will be killed in winter and will be given all the people to eat and drink.
