"Really? But how do you count these seventy percent war horses? Is it calculated according to the number of horses born each year, or the number of adult horses? Or ......" Although Mu Yunqiao was excited in her heart, she still asked seriously. Keep in mind that there can be significant gaps between each of these numbers. How many war horses are born every year, but not necessarily all of them can be raised, and not every descendant of war horses can become excellent war horses. So Mu Yunqiao must ask clearly.

"Of course, it will be counted according to the trained horses." Mu Kun said with a smile.

After thinking about this ......, Mu Yunqiao said: "It takes at least three years for a newborn pony to be able to play a role on the battlefield. Therefore, it will take at least three years before we can give war horses to the imperial capital. So ......"

"Of course this emperor knows that we are still in the exploration stage of breeding war horses on our own, so the emperor said that there is no need for you to hand over war horses within five years, and he will give you 100,000 taels of silver every year." Mu Kun said with a smile again.

He and the emperor are both fathers of two children, so naturally they will not really embarrass the two children.

"I don't know how many war horses the emperor plans to give us as zhong horses?" Ming Tao asked in surprise.

"Twenty thousand war horses." Looking at Ming Tao, Mu Kun said affirmatively.

"So much?" Mu Yunqiao said in surprise. Then she frowned again. "In this way, a horse only has five taels of silver a year for living expenses, and we have to find professional horse breeders and horse trainers for these horses, and we also have to build stables, racetracks, and send people to take care of the stable hygiene, as well as the feed for the ponies born every year...... Dad, these are all calculated, and the 100,000 taels of silver seem like a lot, but in fact, it is necessary to say whether it is enough or not. ”

"This ......" Mu Kun looked at Mu Yunqiao embarrassedly, he and the emperor really didn't expect those things. Just thinking about the cost of five taels a year for a horse is more than enough. If An Mu Yunqiao's account is calculated, the 100,000 taels of silver are only afraid that it will not even be enough to build a horse farm.

"Forget it, Mingtao and I will suffer some losses, and we can solve the rest by ourselves, but we won't pay for the cost of transporting the war horse." Looking at Mu Kun, Mu Yunqiao said with a smile. In fact, it seems that they are suffering a loss in this matter, in fact, after careful calculation, they do not suffer a loss, after all, the first five years of 500,000 taels of silver The emperor did not get any benefits, as for the latter ones, although they have to hand over a lot of war horses every year, they can leave thirty percent of them themselves. It's enough to offset those extra costs. Moreover, those ordinary horses who can't be used as war horses don't want it, they can also decide for themselves, which is a lot of wealth. However, for the emperor with deep pockets, they still have to be a little more sticky. Therefore, they will not pay for the transportation of so many war horses, and they will not send them to each other.

"Of course. The emperor will give an order to the armies of all sides to give the number of war horses, and let them get them by themselves when the time comes. Mu Kun said with a smile. Fortunately, Mu Yunqiao didn't ask for any more horse raising fees, otherwise he really didn't know how to talk to the emperor about this. As long as they don't want money, everything is easy to say.

"Okay, Ming Tao and I can try to raise it, but I can't guarantee how many war horses will be handed over to the imperial court in five years." Mu Yunqiao listened to Mu Kun's words, hesitated and said.

Neither she nor Ming Tao have raised so many horses, let alone war horses, speaking from the heart, 20,000 war horses is a lot, but she doesn't know how much she can leave in five years. But she also knew that since Mu Kun had said this, it was naturally explained by the emperor. She and Mingtao have no room for excuses. However, the war horse is raised, and she is not without benefits. At least, the best war horses can be set aside for their own use in advance, and she and Ming Tao have the final say on who and what kind of war horses they give to. Thinking of these benefits, Mu Yunqiao looked forward to raising horses even more.

"When are Yun Qiao and Ming Tao going back to Yanjing?" After finishing the matter, Mu Yunfeng asked Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao. If it is peaceful today, he can stay in the capital for a while longer, especially during Xiaoyun's pregnancy, he doesn't want to leave Xiaoyun's side, if Mu Yunqiao and Mingtao can return to Yanjing as soon as possible, he wants to wait until the child is born before returning to the border.

"Yun Qiao and I plan to go to Yanjing after the Lantern Festival." Looking at the expectant looks in Mu Kun and Meng Hui's eyes, Ming Tao hesitated for a moment and said. He knew that the news was a bit sudden for the two old men, but since it had been decided, he would have to say it sooner or later. If you say it earlier, she and Yun Qiao can also feel at ease sooner.

"So fast? It's so cold, can't you stay a little longer before leaving? Looking at Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao, Meng Hui said with concern. She did know early on that Mu Yunqiao and Ming Tao were leaving, but she didn't expect them to be so eager.

"Mother, it's too far away from Yanjing, and when we return to Yanjing, it's already the season of spring ploughing, I plan to arrange someone to use some abandoned land, I'm afraid it's too late to delay for too long." Seeing Meng Hui's disappointed eyes, Mu Yunqiao was also sad in her heart, but there were some things that had to be done, and as Princess Yan, she naturally focused on the interests of the fief. It's just that I'm so sorry for my parents and makes her sad.

"Go ahead! Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry. Mu Kun stretched out his hand and patted Meng Hui's hand, suggesting that she should not keep it anymore, the children are older and have their own lives, and as old people, they will stay for a while, but they will not stay for a lifetime. Excessive retention will only make it impossible for children to live in peace of mind in distant places.

"Thank you Daddy for your understanding. When we have a chance, Mingtao and I will come back to see you. Looking at Mu Kun and Meng Hui's reluctant gazes, Mu Yunqiao said firmly. As long as she has time, she and Mingtao will come back to see them.

"Yun Qiao, since you go back to Yanjing, I want to accompany Xiaoyun more at home, and the border will be handed over to you." Looking at Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao, Mu Yunfeng said.

"Don't worry, with me and Yun Qiao here, you can stay at home with peace of mind. If something really happens, Yun Qiao and I can handle it. Ming Tao said with a smile. Now that the Great Plains Kingdom has just been defeated, it is impossible to come to the border again, and it is okay for Mu Yunfeng to stay at home and accompany Xiaoyun.

"Thank you very much. I'm relieved to have you there. Looking at Ming Tao, Mu Yunfeng said happily. He knew that Ming Tao and Yun Qiao would definitely agree.

"Sir, madam, the Marquis of Worry-Free is asking to see you outside the door." Butler Fauber walked into the antechamber again and said to everyone in the room.

"Don't hurry up yet, please!" Glaring at Fu Bo, Mu Kun said. I often laugh at the time when this kid came.

"Yes, sir!" Fauber saluted everyone and left the antechamber and walked out.

Mu Yunting watched Fu Bo leave, her eyes couldn't help but look outward, and a red cloud couldn't help but rise on her face.

"Third sister, are you very happy?" The night spirit walked over to Mu Yunting and sat down, and asked with a smile. Just now she saw Mu Yunting's preoccupied appearance, but she didn't expect to start being shy now. couldn't help but look at Mu Yunting jokingly.

"What is the second sister talking about? My sister didn't understand. Dodging the gaze of the night spirit, Mu Yunting said beside Mu Yunqiao. She is young in this family, and she has not yet married, and these brothers and sisters want to laugh at her, and she has no choice.

"That's it, second sister, how can you bully Yun Ting, doesn't he just know that Chang Xiao is coming, and he is a little flustered! But it's time for this kid to come, and he actually came in the snow. Mu Yunqiao took Mu Yunting's hand and said with a smile.

"I think this smile came only after getting the news." Glancing at Mu Yunting with other intentions, Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"You ...... I didn't ......" Seeing everyone looking at him with such eyes, Mu Yunting's beautiful face instantly turned red.

She just felt that this opportunity for the whole family reunion was rare, so she secretly asked Chang Xiao to bring news and ask him to come over early. Who knew that he was still late, and not only that, but he also made the whole family see his jokes, which made her very angry.

"Chang Xiao has seen uncles and aunts, eldest brother and sister-in-law, eldest sister Mingtao, eldest brother and second sister Wu." Soon, Chang Xiao walked into the front hall in a snow-white suit, holding a very delicate long wooden box in his hand, and saluted everyone. This kind of smile is really good-looking, making his already good appearance even more handsome. Just seeing that he was only wearing such a little, everyone who saw him unconsciously felt a chill.

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be so polite." Mu Kun was the first to say.

"Thank you, uncle!" Standing up, Chang Xiao put the wooden box in his hand in front of Mu Kun and Meng Hui, "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng, and my mother wants my little nephew to bring it to my uncle and aunt." ”

"Brother and sister have a heart, sit down!" Looking at the ginseng on the table, Meng Hui said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie." Chang Xiao walked directly to Mu Yunting and sat down. Seeing that Mu Yunting didn't even look at herself, Chang Xiao kept beating the drum in her heart. I don't know where I provoked Mu Yunting, I just hope she won't be angry with herself all the time.

Mu Yunting naturally saw the thousand-year-old ginseng brought by Chang Xiao, and she was naturally happy in her heart, but when she thought of her sister's joke about herself just now, she couldn't help but want to be angry with Chang Xiao. He obviously asked him to come over early, but he actually came after his two sisters.

She also knew that it was unreasonable for her to be so angry and laugh, obviously she wanted to laugh at this time, but she just didn't want to pay attention to him. Especially thinking of the scene when she was speechless just now, she wanted to laugh far away.

"What's the matter, I didn't mess with you!" Seeing that Mu Yunting was in a displeased mood, Chang Xiao asked with concern.

"No, just be quiet and talk less." Glancing at the innocent Chang Xiao, Mu Yunting said directly.

"It's easy to do." Chang Xiao nodded directly and stopped talking. It's just that he didn't speak, but Mu Yunqiao didn't intend to let him go.

"I said laugh often, can't you wear a little more? You don't look cold, but you feel cold when you look at me. Mu Yunqiao held the stove in his hand and said to Chang Xiao.

"I ......" Chang Xiao was about to say something, but thinking of Mu Yunting's warning, he shut up directly.

"Okay, Yun Qiao, you are kind enough to let go of the two little sisters! I saw that on such a cold day, people prepared hot pot, and we chatted while eating. Looking at Chang Xiao and Mu Yunting, who had unnatural expressions, Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Really? Great, Xiaoyun, you still know me best. Listening to Xiaoyun's words, Mu Yunqiao said in surprise.

"I'll get people ready!" Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Mu Yunting took the initiative to run to the door and instructed his subordinates to prepare things. In this cold season, eating hot pot is really a great pleasure in life. Don't say it, it's exciting to think about.
