Mo Ye, who was standing on the edge of the lotus pond, saw that in the clear pool water, there were a few small black shadows that flickered away after he approached. She couldn't help but be curious, squatted down and looked down, only to recognize that it was a small group of tadpoles.

As if a little afraid of the figure thrown into the water, a small and nimble group of black shadows had all shrunk under a mass of grass growing next to the edge of the pool.

Looking at the dark and smooth round shadow in the water, Mo Ye felt interesting at first, but her gaze quickly changed angles. The small black shadow under the water seemed to fade away, on the contrary, the figure reflected on the water surface gradually became clear-Mo Ye suddenly remembered the portrait of the woman he saw in the small ancestral hall of the Ye family.

She had seen the portrait before this afternoon, and the impression of the portrait was still very clear in her mind. In addition, the key point is that he looks a little like the woman in the painting, which is the reason why Mo Ye was surprised, and now he can't help but compare himself with her again.

Looking at the figure on the water, Mo Ye was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't know what the starting point was, she suddenly glared at the water.

The man in the water also immediately glared, but there was no trace of anger in his eyes.

Mo Ye regained her usual expression, thought about it for a while, and then subconsciously stuck out her tongue into the water - she didn't know when she started to learn a lot of Ye Nuonuo's naughtiness

Naturally, the people in the water stuck out their tongues at her, with a hidden smile in their eyes.

Although subconsciously, Mo Ye knew that the figure reflected on the surface of the water was herself, but somehow, at this moment, she just felt that the figure reflecting on the surface of the water that was making a grimace suddenly coincided with the figure on the painting.

The figure in the water seems to be another person, looking at himself through a pool of clear water, but it seems to be separated from him by thousands of mountains, and it seems that he is not separated by a distance. It's a world away.

She felt a strange feeling in her heart.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"So you're here."

Just when Mo Ye felt strange in her heart, this voice suddenly came out, which really startled her. She subconsciously turned around, and her squatting figure was tilted because of it, and she swayed on her back, and she was about to fall into the water.

Mo Ye was secretly shocked in his heart, realizing that the situation was not good, and at the same time, an exclamation came into his ears from the side. But it was from another woman.

Immediately after, Mo Ye felt a force surging from the place where the voice came from, and dragged her to the shore.

Sound, of course, is impossible to carry power. However, when Mo Ye's body shook and her direction turned very quickly and she pounced on the shore again, she saw Ruan Luo and his hand that was quickly outstretched.

"Shhhh

Ruan Luo reached out and pulled Mo Ye by the hand, although he succeeded in preventing her from falling into the water. But because he was still half a step slow when he shot, he just grabbed one of Mo Ye's sleeves. The weight of Mo Ye's body was all on this piece of clothing that was not too thick in the spring, and Ruan Luo used all his strength when he was in a hurry, and one of Mo Ye's sleeves was torn off like this.

When the face was planted on the ground, out of the instinctive self-protection reaction of the body, Mo Ye quickly reached out to support the ground. The force of the nose hitting the ground directly has been reduced. The body was on the ground, and although there was pain coming, my heart was a little more steady. Then she subconsciously looked sideways at Ruan Luo.

Ruan Luo didn't expect this change when he came, and reaching out to help was also his instinctive reaction. It's just that when he stretched out his hand, he also forgot that he was walking, and his steps that had not yet stood were unstable. If it weren't for the fact that there was a maid by his side, and the maid dragged him by the hand. Whether he will fall into the water with Mo Ye at this moment is really uncertain.

Mo Ye's sleeve broke in the middle of the two tugging. Suddenly lost some kind of traction, under the effect of inertia, Ruan Luo fell backwards, and the maid who was standing behind him and dragged him was also lying on her back at this time, not only did she fall to the ground, but the arm that pulled Ruan Luo was also pressed behind Ruan Luo's back, and she couldn't help moaning in pain.

Ruan Luo frowned and snorted, and immediately realized that it was the maid's hand that was pressed behind his back, he hurriedly struggled to sit up and looked at the maid: "Are you okay?" ”

The maid hugged the crushed arm and endured it before frowning and shaking her head.

As soon as Ruan Luo raised his hand, he was about to pull the maid up, only to find that there was a sleeve hanging between his wrists, he was stunned, and soon looked at Mo Ye again: "You... You okay? ”

Mo Ye saw Ruan Luo's gaze pointing directly at her sleeveless arm, although she was still wearing a close-fitting plain middle shirt, being stared at like this would still make her feel a little embarrassed.

Mo Ye's heart tightened, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine." ”

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked again: "Are you okay?" ”

Ruan Luo shook his head, glanced sideways at the maid beside him, a trace of apology appeared in his eyes, and said, "Bai Tao helped me block it, but she seems to have hurt her hand." ”

……

In the spring of each year, there will be a month or two of horses to train horses. Although the purpose of horse training was not to supply military supplies, during this period, the order of the horse farm was enforced according to military standards, and the imperial court would also send horse trainers from the army to guide the horse training here.

At the beginning, the imperial court noticed that the place of Bailubo was originally for the people's livelihood. However, after an in-depth survey of the soil by special officials of the Ministry of Industry, it was found that the water moor did not have the capacity to store water, and as long as there was a slight drought, the berth surface would dry up. The idea of digging into a lake and irrigating the surrounding farmland in Yongding was cancelled.

However, since the attention of the imperial court has stayed in this land, and the Ministry of Industry has also studied here, then according to the current style of the son, it will definitely not be left like this.

Later, some people imagined that since Bailubo has no value of digging, is there a way out for construction on the ground?

The process of deliberation is: Yes.

The result of the discussion, the concrete implementation, is to build a wide embankment around the original foundation of Bailubo. This does not destroy the natural environment surrounded by reeds, and prevents future floods or droughts, which can be used as a buffer barrier - although the pattern of winter dry and summer fullness in this natural wetland never seems to have changed.

Of course, the most important purpose was that from that time on, the construction of Shirashibo became an auxiliary condition for Kyoto to accelerate its promotion to the largest commercial capital in the country.

Transportation is an important step in doing business, but today it seems that the country is particularly keen on the national policy of becoming a commercial powerhouse. The emperor took the lead in supporting business. Nature is not ordinary.

Water transport is no longer limited to walking on rivers, but is gradually taking overseas business into its arms. There is no longer a restriction on the distance of land transportation, and the distance can be more than 1,000 miles away if necessary. Even if the special products of the northern country were transported to the south of Zhao Province by land, so that the people of Zhao Province could enjoy them, it was possible.

However, when it comes to the manufacturing technology of large ships in the sea, it is still a special secret project of the Ministry of Industry. In addition, in the former Zhou Dynasty, there were clear provisions in the law, and there were great restrictions on the number of horses raised by commoners. Most of this regulation was retained after its enactment.

In addition to the large chamber of commerce on file, and the annual payment of a separate fee for independent horse breeding, in addition to taxes, so that the horses can be arranged by themselves. When a small or medium-sized merchant uses more than a certain number of horses, it must rent the horses provided by the government. And this kind of horse has an iconic imprint on its body, which can be regarded as a kind of binding force exerted by the emperor while giving all kinds of emerging small businesses room for development.

Kyoto was built into a horse training farm because of the white redo in the north of the outer city, and the merchant horses were tamed by military means. Kyoto has become the capital city with the highest quality of official horse supply, and even small chambers of commerce in the surrounding cities and counties are willing to come to Kyoto to rent horses.

However, there is actually a foresight of the emperor hidden in this project. Although no one said it explicitly, the military horse trainers who were personally involved in the horse training work in Bailubo have already experienced it, and maybe one day the war will start. The merchant's cargo horse will become a reserve military horse, which can be requisitioned by the imperial court at any time!

No one has verified whether this point is accurate or not. But what everyone can see is that the Bailubo embankment is no longer a field decoration in the Anshun year, but has become a horse racetrack. The 19-mile-long berway runway is wide enough to accommodate ten horses in parallel, and although the runway is circular, it is partial. The circular course dù is not obvious, as if it is a straight road. Train horses here. The site is wide, and it also borrows the geographical conditions of Lubo, so it will not occupy the land and disturb the people.

In addition to this, there is another natural factor that is extremely good for horse breeding, and that is the reeds around the reeds. In the middle of spring, when the young reed leaves are at their most abundant and grow the fastest, the horses who come here for training can eat grass every day, and they don't have to worry about the forage, regardless of which merchants send them to be tamed along the way.

This is a heavy cost saving, Lubo not only provides the necessary space for horse training, but also provides a large amount of free high-quality forage, and the taming link during the horse training period does require the trained horse to have abundant and high-quality 'food' on a daily basis.

One thing to add is that the members of the horse training team don't have to worry too much about what to do with the horse manure excreted by the tamed horses. After the news that there was a horse taming team stationed in Lubo, the surrounding villagers gradually became familiar with it, and every spring, they no longer just went to Boli to dig indiscriminately, but went directly to the place where the horse tamers guided the place to pick fat.

Sitting on the carriage that Bu Yu took out from the warehouse, the carriage carried the three of them slowly on the racetrack.

As the foundation of the racetrack, this ring embankment is actually more than two feet above the ground, like a row of small hills. Walking on such a racetrack, the surrounding scenery can be overlooked into a relatively distant place, and the view is wide.

ps：

Regarding the emperor's control of horses, it is equivalent to controlling transportation.

In addition, the reason why the emperor is a commercial power is because of a reason that he himself discovered, I will not talk about it for the time being, but only say that to expand commerce, we must pay close attention to transportation. From the point of view of doing business and making money, the transportation industry must be developed quickly, but the transportation industry is too developed and it is easy to form the bud of rebellion.

The emperor had to pinch this bud to death, or nip it in the bud, so that he could easily pinch it to death when he wanted to.
