Chapter 3 Golden Cauliflower and Xia Ma Wei

Two thousand five hundred war horses plus more than two hundred horses ridden by the Jiazi battalion itself, the amount of grain and grass consumed by this total of nearly three thousand war horses in one day is amazing, as long as the war horses are stored in Yun Zheng's hands for one day, they will have to pay for one more day of grain and grass, there is no problem in a short time, and the problem will come out after a long time.

Yun Zheng suddenly found that he couldn't find a suitable horse grazing land in Jingzhao Mansion, the Longshou Plain, which was rich in water and grass, had become a wasteland, and the most important thing was that there was no grass growing on this wasteland, and there were sheep everywhere, they would gnaw the tender grass that had just grown, and look around from the high Longshou Plain, the mountains and rivers around Jingzhao Mansion were basically about to become Niu Mountain.

The place where horses are raised is naturally the more north the better, but Longyou and Qingtang have long been out of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Hetao Plain, which is rich in water and grass, is also tightly held in the arms of the party members.

There are also hilly areas in the south, but do you expect war horses raised in the south to fight in the cold north? Yun Zheng rummaged through the map and sadly found that the Jingzhao Mansion of Nuoda could not find the most suitable place for grazing.

The Great Song Dynasty had a horse herding supervisor, but now people are very smart to put war horses in the people's homes to raise, and they also call this policy horse politics! The war horses raised by the farmers who farm the land are only suitable for pulling carts!

After carefully studying the Ma Zheng of the Great Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng roared loudly in the simple military camp.

Cavalry has always been a specialty of the north, and now there is no so-called north in the Great Song Dynasty, where to find cavalry? Not all people who ride horses are called cavalry, which needs to be exposed to it from an early age, grow up with war horses, integrate with each other, cooperate with each other, and finally form a human horse as one, and then form a rolling cavalry iron stream.

His brain was running rapidly, trying his best to recall the terrain in the future pass, and wanted to find a place where he could place his war horses, so he originally wanted to ask the people of the Jingzhao Mansion Horse Warden. In the past, people said that raising horses was very simple, and they only needed to disperse to farmers, and farmers also liked to raise horses because they did not have to pay taxes. The most important thing is to have a big livestock at home.

In desperation, Yun Zheng finally picked Taipingyu in Huxian County, which is more suitable for the survival of war horses, at least the land is sparsely populated and the water and grass are luxuriant, and the war horses are sent to the farmers' homes to be raised in captivity, Yun Zheng feels that it is better to pull them out and kill them to eat meat.

Yun Zheng stood at the mountain pass of Taipingyu, his face was extremely gloomy, and when he arrived here, he heard from Orion that there were swarms of leeches here, and the most important thing was that there was something called nettle in the grass here. Regardless of whether humans or animals touch it, the skin will fester...... You shouldn't have these things in the racecourse......

The pastures in Qingtang are full of pasture, and there are no leeches, and the pastures in Hetao are also full of grass, and there is no such thing as nettles. Raising war horses is actually a very delicate job, they have long been tamed, they do not have the strong survival ability of wild horses, they have been domesticated for many years, and they are born to need the care of herdsmen......

Yun Zheng rode a horse around Jingzhao Mansion for ten days, and when Fu Bi saw Yun Zheng, he was surprised, and the handsome young man half a month ago disappeared. He was exhausted and dusty.

"Ming Gong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have brought the war horse back from Western Xia, only to know here that the Great Song Dynasty did not have a suitable place for them to gallop, and the pasture could not cross the Yellow River. But look at it, how many places north of the Yellow River can allow me to graze 10,000 war horses? Yun Zheng hugged his fists weakly to Fu Bi, and continued to meditate.

Fu Bi saw that Yun Zheng was very depressed, so he asked the monkey what was going on, and when the monkey told Fu Bi about the cause and effect of the incident. Fu Bi also sat there silently.

He thought that raising war horses only needed to find a place where the grass grew, where would he know that there were so many exquisite, broad, flat, full sunshine, leeward, away from the crowd, the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty were not all raised in farmers' homes?

Yun Zheng moved his mouth with difficulty and said: "The Jiazi battalion has been riding on horseback for almost a year, but it has competed with the Western Xia cavalry when it was in Western Xia, and one cavalry can easily deal with the four of us, and all four of them will be beaten off the war horses.

If you look closely, you will find that the Xixia people and Qingtang people have Luo Circle on their legs, which is the physical deformity caused by riding on horseback all year round, and the same is true for the legs of the Khitan people, but the new Khitan people seem to have fewer and fewer Luo Circle legs, and they are more like our Great Song Dynasty.

I thought I had brought the best thing to the Great Song Dynasty, and now it seems that I just found a batch of disposable riding tools, and when I talked about cavalry with Chong Yu when I was in Huanzhou, I confidently told him that after five years, we would be able to form a cavalry team of 10,000 people, and it turned out that this qiē was my wishful dream. ”

Fu Bi stood up and walked a few steps and said: "The Song people are not good at raising horses, we all think so, but we think that we are smarter than the Khitans, Xixia people, and Qingtang people, and we always think that if they can do it, we can do better than them, too arrogant, just by raising horses, we are far inferior to the barbarians in the north."

Over the years, for some reason, the climate on the steppe has become colder and colder, and their living conditions have become more and more difficult, which is why they always have to move closer to the south. ”

It is an ironclad fact that the people of the country moved south, this wandering nation, has a sense of danger that ordinary people do not have, in the second year of Qingli, when Fu Bi served as the general judge of Quanzhou, he found that a large number of merchants of the country poured into the south, at that time, in order to protect them, Fu Bi personally investigated the reason for their southward migration, and finally learned from the elders of the people of the joy that in the far north, the winter is getting more and more difficult, not only them, but also the barbarians on the grassland are also moving south, They are just the farthest one of the migrating, in order to relieve Yun Zheng, Fu Bi told Yun Zheng some of what he had seen and heard.

"Joy people? Is it a lot? Yun Zheng seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked.

"They are all wandering merchants, there are a lot of them, at least there are a lot of them in Jingzhao Mansion, two months ago, the elders of the people of Zhile Ye visited me, hoping to allow them to buy real estate in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and also asked to settle down in Liquan, which is the location of the former Tang Qianling.

It's really a joke, Jingyou gave a decree in the second year of his majesty, not allowing foreigners to buy real estate in the Great Song Dynasty, they can only rent, the old man can agree, now they think that if they form a group, the old man will not be able to back down, what to say about offering the seeds of golden cauliflower, golden cauliflower is just a vegetable, do they still think that the Great Song Dynasty is the pre-Tang Dynasty, and a pineapple can benefit their whole family. ”

After listening to Fu Bi's words, Yun Zheng finally knew why he was interested in the Jews, that is, the people of Joy Industry, he had told his students the origin of Longdong alfalfa before, which also extended the story to the Jews, besieged by a group of girls, thinking that it was nonsense, Liang Weiwei even quoted classics to refute Yun Zheng, saying that alfalfa entered China as early as the Han Dynasty, what does it have to do with the Jews, and the golden cauliflower is the allusion to alfalfa, which Yun Zheng also learned from that quarrel.

The reason why there is no record in history is probably because it was a scam, and the people who had just fled from the Uighurs to Longdong were treated well by the local people, and they gave a large amount of alfalfa seeds they brought to the local people, telling them that it was a treasure, and as a result, the local people found that they were useless except to feed the pigs, and cursed the people of Cile Ye as liars, and the people of Cile were very angry, these people actually took alfalfa to feed the dirtiest animals in the world, Originally, they planned to buy their alfalfa and sell it to the army as fodder for the army, but the result was unhappy.

Alfalfa grows in the ground for 30 years, and it is a dream to dig roots, and the roots of that thing can go deep into the bottom of 30 meters, which is unique, so these alfalfa have encroached on the people's fields in a chapter, no matter fire, flooding, or uprooting, they can't be eradicated, so many places in Longdong are full of this thing.

According to the local chronicles of Liquan, this thing invaded all the way to Guanzhong and almost covered the Qianling Tomb.

Yun Zheng asked Fu Bi with 100,000 points of caution: "Ming Mansion, do you know about the golden cauliflower covering the Qianling?" ”

Fu Bi pondered for a moment, shook his head playfully, and said, "There is no such thing!" ”

Yun Zheng didn't give up, and arched his hand: "The lowly office suddenly remembered that there was a place that was neglected, and the lowly duty was anxious, please allow the lowly duty to go to Liquan and his party." ”

As soon as Fu Bi nodded in agreement, he saw that Yun Zheng had already jumped out of the military tent and flew on his horse, and he didn't even have time to greet the guards, so he hit his horse and galloped all the way to the east.

Fu Bi shook his head and said to himself: "Arrogant boy, I really think you know everything, there are no less than 300,000 acres of Liquan grassland in Qianxian County, and you can't eat thousands of war horses, but if you want to graze in that grassland, first solve the troublesome tomb keepers, or don't think about peace, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen didn't succeed, it depends on your means."

Goldenrod! The old man's breakfast is fresh and tender goldenrod! As long as the people in Guanzhong think of golden cauliflower, they will think of Liquan, and the smart boy even has a time when he is confused, if it is not for your sake of the country, thousands of war horses can bankrupt the money you eat, and also private property, hehe, it's not too stupid, the invasion of golden cauliflower in Qianling is also a thing that has only happened in recent years, although that thing invades the fertile land, it is good horse material. An outsider is able to act in front of the old man, hehe. ”

Yun Zheng's big green horse ran very proudly, this was the first time in a long time that he let go of running, the wind swept past Yun Zheng's ears and whirred, he suddenly remembered something and suddenly strangled the reins of the big green horse, just now his mind was all on the golden cauliflower. Fu Bi's expression was very wrong, he had no reason to talk such a big nonsense to himself, what kind of golden cauliflower to himself, it was impossible for the horse herding supervisor to be so ignorant that he couldn't even find a suitable place for grazing.

After figuring it out, Yun Zheng shook his head with a smile and sighed, this is the so-called dismounting, right?
