Chapter 545: The Spring Breeze is Triumphant, and the Horse's Hoof Is Not Sick
Atletico Madrid didn't know that there were many game console companies that struggled to survive, but they did not fall in the harsh winter of the ten years when the production and sale of game consoles were strictly prohibited, but fell in the second year of the spring when the policy was lifted.
Besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously, those people transplanted Bee's mobile game cracks and modifications to small arcade machines, but they really violated Bee's rights.
Moreover, the legal rights team of Bee continues to follow up on related matters, and he is now busy inspecting a new piece of his new site.
Although spring has only just emerged according to the solar terms, spring obviously came a little earlier in the depths of these mountains, and the grass and trees on the mountains still began to turn green and sprout, and there were more birds, birds, hares, and voles along the way than last month.
On this day of the first arrival of spring, it is excellent to ride a horse and go on a wild trip, and the Atletico group is now one man and two horses, riding in a mountain valley.
It is said that the spring breeze is proud, but Atletico Madrid's appearance at the moment will definitely not be reminiscent of this ancient poem. Because anyone who sees him now will probably can't help but laugh out loud.
Atletico wore a rolled-up cowboy hat on his head, a triangular scarf around his neck, a pair of blue jeans and pants supported by a strong muscle, and a pair of rough brown leather boots under his feet.
It's a pity that the horse under him ruined Mr. Cowboy's cool and handsome image, because it was too short!
The horse's neck is long and flexible, and it often shakes and stretches forward, so it is unrealistic to measure the height from head to toe like a human, while on the other hand, the horse often stands and rarely sits and lies, so horse breeders have come up with a way to measure the "shoulder height", using a hard ruler to measure the height of the apex of the shoulder blade to the ground when standing, as the "height" of the horse, as for the height with the head, it is called head height.
For a horse with normal body proportions, the higher the shoulders, the higher the head, and vice versa. The shoulder height of the German Hannover horse is 1.7 meters, and the American Quart horse with cowboy standard is 1.6 meters high, so the head height is often more than 1.8 meters, which is a tall horse, and even a head height of 2.2 meters has appeared on some heavy service horses.
Atletico they are riding at the moment these horses are less than 80 centimeters high at the shoulder, not even as high as some motorcycles, so there is a very funny scene, everyone is riding on the horse, many people's feet can not completely leave the ground, it looks quite funny.
This kind of horse is a local characteristic horse breed, called Debao pony, also called Guoxia horse. Because there are similar records in ancient texts and ancient poems, such as Li He's horse poem, there is "Red rabbit is useless, when Su Lu Bu rides." I Wenguo dismounted, and let Ren Man'er be restrained?" So now people call domestic ponies Guoxia horses.
In the Tang Dynasty Sanli and the poet Li He, who died young, the poems he wrote were all kinds of depression and sentimentality, and there were many borrowed things to help people feel their own content, so in his poem, Guo Xia became the lowb who bound Ren Man'er, and he was a red rabbit who did not meet no one with talent.
However, Xiao Li didn't know that in the modern era 1200 years later, even the high-headed horses were squeezed by cars, tractors and motorcycles, and they could only retain the last sense of existence in places like racecourses and riding fields.
After all, compared to small agricultural machinery and ordinary horses of mixed blood, the weight-bearing capacity that these dwarf ponies are good at is nothing at all, and their ability to climb slopes is gradually becoming more and more dense at the moment, but it is their short stature that has become the last reliance on which this horse breed can be retained.
As domestic animals, the height and size of horses are not only determined by natural evolution and genetics, but also strongly influenced by the purposeful selection and cultivation of humans, and different heights are actually one of the results of different breeding goals, which in turn are strongly related to the intended use.
Meat horses, milk horses, pull horses, pack horses, war horses, racing horses, honor guard horses...... Different uses determine the direction of training of different horse breeds, and also determine the physique and appearance of the final horse breed.
For example, the famous German Hannover horse, in the 18th century, the breeding goal was to breed a horse suitable for pulling four-wheeled carriages, after the rise of automobiles and tractors, the decline of horse-drawn carriages, Hannover horses began to introduce other horse breeds, improve their footwork character and pedigree, and gradually develop in the direction of riding horses and sports horses. Today, Hannover horses have a light, elastic, low-hanging and smooth footwork and are a regular in show jumping, dressage (dressage) and three-day horse racing (tricks, cross-country, steeplechasing, one race a day).
British thoroughbreds, on the other hand, have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum with Hanover, with owners emphasizing the purity of their pedigrees for 300 years in order to maintain their reputation as the king of sprint racing. Of all qualified thoroughbreds, one of the three famous horses of Dareir, Pereturch and Gödelfinn Babu can always be found in their pedigrees.
These three stallions were three Arabian horses that were brought to England in the 17th century, and they were crossed with English mares to produce excellent racing horses.
They have been bred for short and medium distance racing, and after continuous selection and elimination of the weak, the speed is getting faster and faster, and no horse breed has been able to surpass it for 300 years, so thoroughbreds have also become an important germplasm resource to improve the speed of other horse breeds.
Of course, the fruit horses they ride are also an excellent germplasm resource because they are short......
The local Mongolian horse is only 1.3 meters tall at the shoulder, and the southwest Yunnan horse is 1.1 meter tall at the shoulder, which is about the same size as a donkey, so that it is often disliked for being short. Therefore, in recent decades, all parties in China have also been actively introducing foreign horse breeds to improve their height and speed.
However, for a short pony of about one meter like Guoxiama, short stature has become their advantage, and it is useless to grow taller. Because of the "cute little things", it can be used as a horse for children, as a pet, and as a horse for performances.
The delicate and weak body of small animals can easily provoke people's love and generosity, so the pet industry is particularly popular to breed small pets.
For example, the famous teacup teddy, there are a lot of such puppies sitting in beautiful coffee cups on the Internet, with two bright black eyes and cute eyes looking at your photos, countless people can't stand the temptation of cute things, and spend tens of millions of yuan to buy them home. In fact, although this dog is small, it also has a body length of 20 centimeters and a weight of 1 or 2 kilograms when it grows up, and it is impossible to put it in a teacup again, unless it is a specially made tea bowl.
As for the legendary thumb cat and spoon cat, those cute kittens squatting on the thumb and in the spoon are even more of a scam, and someone used photoshop and other retouching software to change it, which should be regarded as a "fantasy species".
Even the Guinness World Record for the smallest cat, born in 2004, is an American kitten Peebles, who weighs 150 grams and is six inches (15 centimeters) long.
And pocket cats like it that appeared because of genetic mutations are still just scattered isolated cases, because of the distance in time and space, it is not possible to bring them together to breed a real "teacup meow" breed for the time being.
On the basis of several domestic fruit horses, a small and beautiful riding horse has been bred, which looks more reliable, which is also the purpose of Atletico Madrid's investigation.
To be precise, this is the new development direction selected by Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry for itself.
The most well-known feature of bee live broadcast is "don't be cute girls, you want cute things", other people's anchors are all kinds of cute girls paper or chest girls, and then they are lol national service gods, retired e-sports players, and their anchors, but many of them are all kinds of cute and cute little animals.
At the beginning, they only broadcast the signals of selected livestock farms specially provided by Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and later began to cooperate with major zoos and breeding bases to open a famous animal webcast column. While increasing the popularity of the whole station, it also inevitably diverted the popularity of the former, after all, watching a panda gnaw bamboo or even sleep is more interesting and unusual than watching a pig humming a calf fighting.
As an emerging Internet agriculture and animal husbandry enterprise, network traffic and attention is the lifeblood of Jiajing agriculture and animal husbandry, if there is no such free attention, they have to run to fight advertising wars and price wars with traditional brands, without the cost advantage of publicity, this brand is properly to stand out from the crowd.
Fortunately, there is no end to the sky, and the people of Good Farmer quickly thought of a good way to regain popularity.
In the live broadcast room of a good farm and ranch, the audience keenly discovered that the patrolling security guards, the researchers in white coats who commuted to and from work, and the white-collar clerks in commuter clothes all gave up the battery cars they usually use, and rode on small ponies. Watching these people riding ponies, and from time to time tiptoe to accelerate and help, walking through the surveillance screens, even if they can't hear the sound, everyone still gets a full sense of joy.
Then naturally, the popularity resurged, and everyone was happy.
The only problem is that the number of Guoxia horses is still a little small, which restricts the full popularization of "Guoxia cavalry" by Good Nong. You must know that before they were discovered in 1981, they were just ordinary domestic animals that silently existed in the southwestern mountainous areas, and they were still being squeezed into little by little by other ordinary horses, mules, donkeys and agricultural machinery. It was only after it was discovered that the name was determined, and interesting breeding protection began, but because of the breeding cycle, the total number has not yet risen.
It is also because of this that the management of Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry decided to join the fruit horse breeding industry after investigation, which can not only breed and expand its own fruit horse team, but also be able to take a share of this market segment.
As for the breeding base, it was placed in Yang County.
Although the environment of less industry and more mining and more forest here is an important attraction element, what is more important is the efforts of Comrade Lao Tang. If he hadn't made a posture of working in Yang County until retirement, and then living here for the rest of his life, Tang Jiayi would never have hinted that he could put the breeding base here.
After all, although green mountains and clear waters are also productivity, but it is only one of many productivity, and the city that gathers capital, technology, talent and logistics obviously has higher productivity. And it is also green mountains and green waters, and the mountains and rivers of Yang County have not yet reached the level of not being like a fairyland on earth, and their substitutability is still very high.
Fortunately, Yang County is also clear about this, and did not become complacent because of "your boss and her father are on my side", but put his posture very low, and was very pragmatic and cooperative in the negotiations, but it made the good impression of the good farmer greatly increased, coupled with the "old lady" factor, and soon reached a cooperation agreement, they will contract several valleys in this area, and close them as a breeding and breeding training base for fruit horses and other animals.
Now that the agreement has been implemented, and the relevant infrastructure work is gradually advancing, Atletico Madrid is accompanying Tang Jiayi and Tang to inspect the work today.
Originally, they had other travel options, although the local horses, mules, donkeys and large livestock were much less than before, but the demand was still there after all, and if you looked for it carefully, you could still find a lot, and the mountain road here was not too steep and difficult to walk, several valleys had been developed by agriculture before, but later because of the policy of returning farmland to forest and grassland, it was gradually abandoned, so the basic road should still be there, and you can also drive an off-road vehicle or quad bike to get in.
The riding experience of these big guys is undoubtedly much more comfortable than the fruit dismount with unstraight legs, but when Tang Jiayi heard that the first batch of fruit dismounts had been sent to Yang County, she had the idea of riding together, so there was the funny scene at the beginning.
Atletico saw a cement stele, walked forward, opened the withered grass vines and recognized the three hairy characters on it, "Leaping into the lake, hehe, what a name with a sense of age!"
The words "Leap Forward", "Red Star", "Liberation", and "Revolution" not only often appear on the ID cards of people born in the 50s, but also have such names for many engineering projects born in that era, and the inscriptions of buildings in that era are also popular in Mao, and it is obvious that the valley reservoir in front of everyone is an example.
The reservoir was formed half a century ago by the efforts of the whole county, and people used earth and rocks to block the mouth of the valley, and was originally used to pump water to irrigate the surrounding farmland, but it was left idle after the farmland was returned. Although it is also possible to raise fish and ducks, it is too far away from the site and the product transportation is inconvenient, and the people who contracted the reservoir to engage in breeding have lost money earlier, and it is finally completely abandoned.
Fortunately, with the settlement of the Guoxiama base here, Yuejin Lake will definitely attract a new round of hot construction. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
