The birth of ceramic tiles, so that Yucheng once again famous in the world, from ordinary tiles, to refined tiles are different, and because of the fire of tiles, Yucheng's cement can not keep up, Liu Feng had to follow the sales of ceramic tiles, the same proportion of cement sales.

After setting the tiles, Liu Feng quickly got out, and at this time also entered the spring ploughing, the first spring rain has also come, like cow hair, like flower needles, like filaments, densely obliquely weaved, and the entire roof seems to be covered with a thin layer of smoke, like a dream.

Fanyang Mansion has entered a busy and peaceful period, and the more and more capable internal guards have continuously transmitted news from all over the place, and the northern Khitan Yelu Ruan is still working hard for the stability of the throne. General Guo Da of the Hedong Army who marched to the west fell into a stalemate with the rebels of the Three Towns, and he could not end the war for a while. As for the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jingchuchuan, Shujinghai and other places, this year the wind and rain have been smooth, and there have been no natural disasters.

With Deng Junliang helping to take care of internal affairs, Liu Feng is not so busy, with the arrival of a spring rain, it seems to indicate that the first year of the establishment of Fanyang Mansion will be a bumper harvest year.

……

Even if all kinds of things were going well, Liu Feng didn't dare to relax himself at all, nervously dealing with the matters that came and going, and using all his strength to launch the golden finger, so that the entire Fanyang Mansion developed wildly.

In the midst of the intense work, good news also came from everywhere, the Rong people brought horse breeds from the grassland to the military and civilian horse farms in the north, horse farming has always been the main driving force in the agricultural era, Liu Feng also attaches great importance to it, he knows that before the invention of mechanical power, excellent horse breeds are scarce and precious resources.

Therefore, before the construction of the horse farm, Liu Feng sent a caravan to purchase good horses in the western regions of the grassland, Hexi, Liaodong and other places, in order to improve the horse breed, Liu Feng did not have much experience in this regard, but he was also a riding enthusiast in later generations, and he still had some knowledge of the domestic good horse origin.

There are many good horse production areas in China, leaving aside the legendary sweat and blood horse, as well as the famous war horse source Mongolian horse, Kazakh horse, Yili horse, and the meek and endurance Hequ horse is also the best choice for civilian horses.

In Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shuzhi's Jianchang horses, Lijiang horses, Guizhou horses, small size, good at walking mountain roads, is the best choice for mountain horses, but in Liu Feng's heart, he likes Mongolian horses the most.

Of course, in this era, people for the category of horses, is not so clear, but for the improvement of horses, but far more than later generations, Mongolian horses are the current steppe horses, the bloodline is complex, high and low, but because of the vast grassland, there are plateaus and mountains and sandy land, so it has created a Mongolian horse with strong adaptability, strong and compact body, the most important thing is to resist rough feeding, this kind of horse breed with extremely complex bloodline, is what Liu Feng needs most at the moment.

He is no longer the lover of equestrian sports in later generations, how to ask for the horse pedigree, although the bloodline of the horse determines the overall quality of the horse to a large extent, but the god horse is not universal, he wants to improve the quality of the entire horse herd.

In addition to the Hequ horse, the horse breed brought by the Bairong tribe to Liu Feng is the Baicha iron-hoofed horse in the Mongolian horse system.

This kind of horse is compact and symmetrical, short and oblique, short and erect, with small hooves into a round pier shape, and hard hooves, and is the only grassland horse that is not allowed to ask for horseshoes.

In the horse farm, nearly 1,000 horses finally arrived, this time Liu Yanbei not only bought horses in the grassland, but also more than 1,000 cattle, but most of the cattle have Sitian everywhere, and they were led away, leaving only unqualified war horses and horses that need to be improved.

There are so many horses that can successfully reach the Northland Racecourse, not only Liu Yanbei has made great efforts, but also Liu Fengrong's relatives have also contributed a lot.

In the racecourse, Liu Feng thanked his cousin Bai Feng again and again, and said with a smile: "I rely on my brother's help here, and when I return to the house, I will definitely entertain him well." ”

Bai Feng shook his head and said, "Brother has seen the outside, this is all bought by you with real money, I just helped you transport it!" ”

Although the horses in the horse farm, Liu Feng is still at a loss, raising horses is a technical job, not to mention the improvement of horse breeds, it is a scientific and practical work, but he does not have such a character in his hands.

A cousin of the pure Bairong clan, Liu Feng asked tentatively: "My cousin has someone who is good at taming horses and raising horses, can you recommend it to my brother, now this horse farm needs a competent person to manage it!" ”

After listening to Liu Feng's words, Bai Feng pondered for a long time and said, "Brother, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Liu Feng smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Bai Feng said in a deep voice: "The breeding of horses is a delicate job, the horse shed must be cleaned on schedule, and the horse body needs to be wiped frequently, twice in the morning and evening, not negligent, especially in the hot summer, the ventilation of the horse shed is also indispensable." ”

"In winter and summer, the production season is busy, forage, drinking water, breeding, etc., there is a certain amount of attention, especially horse training and horse picking, which requires extremely experienced experience to complete, and it is not ordinary villagers who can manage such a large horse farm."

Feng gushed endlessly about the difficulties of raising horses, Liu Feng was relieved, as a lover of riding sports, how he didn't know the value of horses, so in the establishment of the horse farm in the selection of breeders, fine and fine, cautious and cautious.

The more Bai Feng said this, the more it showed that he was sure to solve all this, but although he was relieved, he also had to cooperate with his cousin's teaching, and asked with a stunned look: "Is it so troublesome to raise horses?" ”

Bai Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Only in this way can you raise horses and let your cavalry gallop on the battlefield again!" ”

Liu Feng groaned, he was waiting for Bai Feng's next words.

Sure enough, Feng was at a loss, Bai Feng smiled: "Brother, don't be melancholy, isn't there still a brother, besides, all of my Rong people are masters of horse taming and horse breeding!" ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "This time, in addition to transporting horses and ploughing cattle for you, there is one more thing that is required of you!" ”

"Oh?! What's the matter? Brother might as well speak up! Liu Feng saw that Bai Feng was not showing, and said bluntly,

In this way, Bai Fengdao was a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to speak, as if he had sorted out his thoughts, took a breath, and said respectfully: "Ah Di has already become the military envoy of a mansion, and he is in charge of the land of the three counties, this time, I want to ask Ah Di to find a place for the Rong clan to cultivate!" On the grassland, the Khitan persecution is too great, and we only have two roads, either north or south, brother misses your horse farm, if you hand it over to us, it will definitely make the horse farm prosperous. ”

After hearing Bai Feng's words of courage, Liu Feng said slowly: "Does Grandpa and Uncle think the same way?" ”

"Yes! Coming to join you is indeed what Grandpa thinks! "Bai Feng said,

Hearing this, Liu Feng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You should be cautious in this matter, it's not that I don't want my brother to move south to Fanyang, but I'm afraid that I will annoy the Khitan and bring disaster to the tribe, so I have to think about it in the long run!" ”

Feng said so solemnly, Bai Feng also knew that the difficulty of the tribe moving south, and couldn't help but feel melancholy.

Liu Feng said again: "Brother, for the time being, take someone to manage the horse farm, screen and breed the horses, and the migration of the tribe to the south is not imminent, as long as you send gold and silver, you can ensure your safety for a while!" ”
