Sun Qizhi pulled a grass from the grass, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said to Yun Zheng, who was also eating grass, "It's good, the grassland is good, the grass leaves are long, fat and juicy, and it's enough to raise horses." ”

Yun Zheng nodded and pulled a handful of alfalfa from the ground and said with a smile: "Actually, this is a good thing, not only the grass is good, but it is also very good to dry it into hay in the future, or hide it in the feed cellar for green storage feed." ”

After saying that, he straightened up and looked at the endless meadow with satisfaction, but there was a large tomb near Liangshan, perhaps there were two huge tombs here, and the famous wordless monument was also here.

During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin buried himself in Jiuzhi Mountain, thus creating the custom of relying on the mountain as a mausoleum, and the Qianling Tomb was no exception, it was backed by Liangshan.

This huge grassland is not so much a grassland, but a vacant land next to the Qianling Tomb, and the big pit dug when Huangchao robbed the tomb is still there, like a huge scar on this grassland.

I have always heard that there is a village here called Qijiazhuang, which turned out to be the descendants of the famous general Qibi during the Tang Dynasty, because Li Zhi gave the most fertile grassland near Yinshan to the people of Qibi after the victory of the conquest of Goryeo, so Qibi swore to defend Li Zhi, and before his death, he sent a tribe to guard the Qianling, from generation to generation.

If you want to put horses in the cemetery of Li Zhi, you must first obtain the consent of the Qijia Zhuangzi, otherwise, there will be endless troubles, others don't know, Yun Zheng knows very well, a thousand years later, the government wants to excavate the Qianling Tomb has not been successful, the reason why it can't be done is that the Qijia Zhuangzi, the people with hoes to obstruct it.

Huang Chao did not succeed, Zhu Wen did not succeed, Genghis Khan did not succeed, the people of the Qijia Zhuangzi in Qianxian County simply blocked the Mongolian army for more than two months, and finally Genghis Khan had to swear that he would not move a handful of soil in Qianling. That's when I passed by.

Yun Zheng didn't think that he would be more powerful than Genghis Khan, so he didn't think about using the stupidest force. There are only a dozen people around him, a dozen horses, and there are already snotty sheep herders in the distance, looking vigilantly here. Obviously, the sheep's belly has been eaten round, but he still has no intention of driving the sheep back.

Dealing with children is Yun Zheng's specialty, and he and the sheep herding baby sit side by side on the hills, pointing to the Qianling in the distance and saying myths.

"Aunt Mausoleum (this is the tomb of Wu Zetian called Wu Zetian's mausoleum with Wu Sansi's name) is at the bottom of the mountain, you dig with a shovel all day long, if you accidentally dig out your aunt, it will be a big trouble." Yun Zheng took a bite of dry food, and when he saw that the child was swallowing saliva, he generously gave him half of it.

"No, whoever moves the swordsman of the aunt's tomb will kill him."

"I've got some horses, come and graze them and can't make it, poor one. The horses were dying of hunger. ”

"Cattle can come, but people are not allowed to come." The runny sheep herding baby bit Yun Zheng's meat pot helmet with a big mouthful, but refused to give in, and he had long regarded this place as very sacred in his young heart.

Yun Zheng and the sheep herding baby didn't say a few words, and a big man came over. I couldn't help but say that mentioning the sheep herding baby was a fierce beating, and seeing the child crying miserably, Yun Zheng hurriedly said: "What's wrong with the doll, you are also confused as an adult." ”

The big man glanced at Yun Zheng gloomily, and said expressionlessly: "The poor family's doll can't be beaten, it's getting dark, and the noble family should go back early." There are wolves at night! ”

"I'll discuss some good things with the old man of the Zhuangzi of the Qi family."

"Saying good things in my aunt's mausoleum is easy to be thundered by the sky, and we dare not listen to it."

Dahan didn't care about Yun Zheng's mention at all, and after beating the doll, he drove the sheep to the village at the foot of the mountain slowly, Yun Zheng led the horse and followed behind, and he didn't say a word to Dahan. But they were not allowed to come with them.

"Why don't you listen to me? It is said that the more output on the grave, the more vigorous the descendants, which is obviously a good thing, you always have to let me meet the old man on the Zhuangzi. ”

No matter how Yun Zheng persuaded him, Dahan still didn't say a word. The little doll was secretly giving Yun Zheng a look and asking him to run away. Yun Zheng pretended not to see it, and followed the big man into Zhuangzi with the sheep, but he was locked outside the wall by others, and he didn't even drink saliva.

Yun Zheng tied the horse to the road, sat on the grinding plate by himself, and threw his legs and waited for someone to come out.

The sky is dark, and the people in Guanzhong have the habit of eating around the edge of the rice bowl with a rice bowl, you eat a bite of my family, I eat a bite of yours, and you can eat the result of a hundred meals in such a simple meal.

Others eat, Yun Zheng also eats, there are a lot of braised eggs, braised meat pot helmets, and the best thing is that there is a yellow and clear roast chicken in the middle, which is spread out on the Lu Qi and placed a lot of it.

Seeing that others still ignored themselves, but the children were holding a big bowl and looked at the roast chicken on the grinding plate in a daze, Yun Zheng tore off a chicken leg and walked to the child with tears on his face, put the chicken leg in his porridge bowl and said with a smile: "If you are beaten during the day, I will compensate you for a chicken leg." ”

Without waiting for the child to refuse, Yun Zheng tore up the remaining chicken and put it into other children's bowls, so that the big man who wanted to be angry saw that his child was greedily eating meat, and the slap that he raised fell again.

Yun Zheng accompanied the smiling face and tried to blend into the crowd, no matter what others said, he had to interject a sentence, which was very annoying. Seeing that it was completely dark, except for the children who were still looking at the food on the millstone, the adults were about to go home, and an old man with white hair walked to the edge of the mill and distributed the food there to the children.

After sending the child away, the old man frowned and said to Yun Zheng: "There are not many people in Guanzhong who can be a seventh-grade official at your age, so I can't help but ask, is it that if you become an official, you will have a black conscience and dig up the graves of your ancestors?" ”

"Animals will dig the graves of their ancestors, and such people should discount their legs!" Yun Zheng's answer was categorical.

The old man's face looked a little better, motioned for Yun Zheng to sit on the grinding plate, and continued to ask: "There are only stones in Liangshan, you have also seen it, the fields are occupied by golden cauliflower, and you can only herd sheep, except for the ancestral grave underground, there is nothing, this place, can make a noble person like you smile in a low voice, the old man really can't think of anything else." ”

Yun Zheng smiled and took out a handful of alfalfa grass from his arms and put it on the grinding plate and said to the old man: "I came for it, this is a baby, you can't grow crops in the field, then raise grass, who said that farmers can only grow food?" Didn't the old man notice that the sheep on the Zhuangzi were all very good? This is also a big entry, however, I don't build yì you raise sheep, let's raise horses together, raise war horses! ”

The old man was taken aback, jumped down from the millstone, shook his hand, and said, "We can't become horse households, the war horse will be disabled when it is put in our hands, and we can't do this thing." ”

Yun Zheng was very happy, took the old man's hand and said: "You are still an understanding, others will be happy once they become horse households, thinking that there is a big livestock in the family, and they can not pay taxes, you are the first person with such insight." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "The old Han ancestor is a herder, how can he not know the difference between war horses and horses, but there are no horses to put later, or forget it, there are 600 households in the Qijia Zhuangzi, more than 4,000 people, how many horses do you have for the whole village to graze?"

Picking out a few families will only make the village chaotic, the Qijia Zhuangzi has always been united, it is not worth being disturbed by a few horses, the next generation, you go, if you don't go, go to the old man's house for one night, and leave tomorrow. ”

"Three thousand! The best Xixia war horses, Qingtang horses also have some, all of them are war horses, there is no horse, I will continue to send horses over, five years later, there should be at least 10,000 war horses here, and more in the future. ”

The old man's eyes were about to bulge, and he asked carefully, "What?" Make it clear! ”

"Tomorrow, I will bring two thousand five hundred war horses, and at the same time I will report to Jingzhao Mansion to turn all of you into horse households, and at the same time I will ask Jingzhao Mansion to turn all the Liangshan generation into pastures, and the golden cauliflower can not only not be removed, but also vigorously cultivated, at the same time, the dolls of your Qijia Zhuangzi should practice riding and archery from an early age, since your ancestors are cavalry, let the dolls also be cavalry."

Yun Zheng unabashedly said his thoughts, and the old man was sure that Yun Zheng was not here to fight his aunt's tomb, and a person with two thousand five hundred war horses would definitely not be a tomb robber.

The old man rang the bell, and soon more than a dozen white-haired old men came over, all of whom looked bad, but after knowing that Yun Zheng was not a tomb robber, and planned to use the cemetery under Liangshan as a pasture, and did not allow outsiders to come in, the old men became very enthusiastic, especially when they heard that Liangshan was likely to be surrounded by the imperial court, and the smile was even stronger.

Children have the opportunity to be cavalrymen, which is definitely a high-level profession in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention anything else, the real Great Song cavalry is equipped with two war horses, and it will definitely not be less than one hundred and fifty.

With the guidance of these local old people, Yun Zheng found that this place is indeed very suitable for pasture, Liangshan is sparsely populated, but the area is flat, through the Liangshan Canyon, it is the shade of the mountain, in this way, there are two grasslands in spring and autumn, and other places can also become a place to store pasture, wonderful!

Yun Zheng lived in Qijia Zhuangzi, and for three days he walked through the mountains and rivers of Liangshan with a few old men who could ride horses, and accidentally found a small canyon, which is a funnel-shaped canyon, after passing through a rugged rocky beach, there is a large open space surrounded by mountain peaks.

As long as the rocky beach is trimmed, it is a paradise-like habitat for war horses. Seeing the gurgling stream flowing down from the mountain wall, Yun Zheng reached out and took a handful of water and drank it, it was very sweet, this was the horse breeding land given to him by God, Yun Zheng almost wanted to raise his arms and shout.
