Near noon, the group arrived at Pegasus Ranch, thirty kilometers away from the school.

According to the previous arrangement, the first day should be a short rest.

Although I didn't come out to play, the focus of this research activity was actually a few days of internship in the government.

These students, who are basically assigned to the farmland officer and the affairs officer, are all locals of Tongzhou, and there is no need for Tian Yuguan to talk nonsense about many things.

It has a certain amount of real talent and learning, and the following things are done by the following people, and these officials and officials are more responsible for management, and understand the world in enjoyment and rest.

As for the rest, Tian Yuguan would naturally give it to his students.

And there are many things in itself, as long as you become an official, you will naturally understand, and you don't have to understand it in school, and some things can't be understood just in words.

This is the tradition, but now that there is an outsider around to ask questions, it seems to be all kinds of trouble.

"Sir, the Pegasus Ranch is in front of you, is it mainly for horses?"

Wang Lanling is very curious about some things, he really wants to understand the operation of some industrial models and learn advanced experience.

Tian Yuguan didn't want to talk to Wang Lanling anymore, he thought that Wang Lanling wouldn't talk about it for a while, but this person couldn't finish asking questions, which made people really upset.

For the sake of face, he didn't want to meet this stinky young man.

"Ma Guanqing, you explain to Wang Lanling." Tian Yuguan quickly greeted the students around him, and some people don't have to be stupid.

Ma Guanqing is a man who looks to be twenty-six or seventeen years old, and the farm officials are all men, and the research team is all men.

It is rare to enter the official school in their teens, and the main teaching here is not the basic knowledge, but the way of being an official, so most of them are stable people who have married and had children in their twenties and thirties.

After Ma Guanqing was named by the teacher, he was responsible for receiving Wang Lanling, a special person.

"We ride four generations of forest horses and grassland horses after optimized breeding, generally called forest horses here in Tongzhou, but forest horses are actually divided into two kinds, one is to inherit the tall grassland horse and the five generations of forest horses, this kind of back is wide and hard, riding for a long time will cross pain, and indecent, mainly used as a horse."

"Four generations of forest horses have inherited motherhood, and we all ride mares, which are more docile and less likely to be frightened."

"Pegasus Ranch is a place to breed all kinds of livestock, the pasture is vast, there are many advanced management experience, the most of which are the military Tongzhou war horses and Tongzhou horses."

Wang Lanling nodded, roughly understanding.

A horse is a horse that pulls things. Bang, the pull of turning the tide, means to pull, pull.

A walking horse is a horse that is good at running, and the upper level should be a thousand miles.

Wang Lanling didn't know how difficult it was to breed heavy horses and light horses, but he thought it should be very powerful.

"There are horses with Tongzhou names like Tongzhou horses, so are there horses that are only available in other places?"

Ma Guanqing explained: "Yes, there are mountain horses in Shanzhou, which have a violent temperament and can bite people, and most of the horses are brought from Tongzhou Muzhou because of the relatively small pasture pasture. ”

"The horses in Muzhou are grassland horses, and there are similar horses in other places, but military riding horses, pulling horses, and pack horses are all the best in Longzhou, and the Longzhou Legion has always been breeding the best thoroughbred horses, which are more powerful than Tongzhou."

Wang Lanling said curiously: "Is the purebred horse's bloodline more and more powerful?" ”

Ma Guanqing shook his head, "It doesn't matter if the horse's bloodline and ability, when breeding horses, it will choose the best two horses for breeding, and after more than ten generations, of course the best ones are left." ”

"Whether you run fast or not, whether your endurance is good or not, whether it works on the battlefield or not, whether your weight and height are enough, these are all things that can be seen."

"The thoroughbred horses in Longzhou have a family tree, and the current thoroughbred horses are the best after many years of optimization, as long as they are not mixed with inferior horses, the price will generally be very expensive."

"Generally speaking, I will also choose some horse kings in other places to see if they can continue to optimize, the price of a horse king is amazing, and you can't get it without 100,000 yuan."

The king of horses in this era is probably the top luxury car that can give birth to small cars.

At this time, everyone had entered the pasture, and on both sides of the land was not only pasture, but also a large area of farmland.

In the field, there are three large heavy horses plowing the field side by side, and behind the farm tools are two people dressed as villagers, and there are a few children busy with something at the edge of the field.

Wang Lanling rode forward and asked casually: "Is it mainly horse farming or cattle farming here?" ”

Ma Guanqing said: "Our side is the three-field system, which uses horse farming, and the three-field system is ......."

"I know that." Wang Lanling said, "I also know a little bit about agriculture, and there are people in my family who work in the county's agricultural and mulberry divisions. ”

Cultivated land is often divided into two plots, one for cultivation and one for fallow every year, which is changed year by year to retain soil capacity, and crops are also rotated.

The three-field system is divided into three parts, planting grass, beans, and grain, producing more grain and fodder, reducing the occurrence of famine, but requiring more manpower and material resources.

Hearing that Wang Lanling's family was also working as a farmer, Ma Guanqing felt closer.

"Yunzhou has a two-field system, because there are not many cattle, sheep and horses, so you don't grow pasture, you use cattle to plough there, right?"

Wang Lanling said casually: "No, most of what I see is human farming. ”

Heishui County is densely populated, arable land is scarce, where will grass and beans be planted, and there is no extra land for the three-field system.

Even the number of ploughing cattle is pitifully small, and it cannot be compared with that of the county.

Ma Guanqing felt confused, "No, isn't Yunzhou mainly breeding rice with buffaloes?" Yunzhou buffalo is quite famous. ”

Tian Yuguan in front said impatiently: "Wang Lanling is from Heishui County, where is ...... It's different from other places. ”

I wanted to say that there were fewer animals there, but I still held back, afraid that Wang Lanling would scold him.

Wang Lanling didn't know that Tian Yuguan was annoying him, even if he knew, it didn't matter, there were only a few who liked him.

"What kind of land is the best land for growing cotton?" Wang Lanling saw that there were experts all around, so he continued to talk about his own affairs.

Ma Guanqing said: "The place where the sunny day is often the most suitable, the sun shines more, and it doesn't rain often during the fruiting period, and then the irrigation problem is solved, then it's fine." ”

Heishui County has more sunshine hours, and there is no problem with irrigation, but there is more rain in summer.

Fortunately, there is less rain between summer and autumn, and it is no problem to grow cotton, but it is definitely not the most suitable place.

"What's the best place to be?"

Wang Lanling wants to know this, what he wants is large-scale planting, and the territory of Heishui County is obviously not open, otherwise the grain red line cannot be guaranteed.

"Muzhou." Ma Guanqing gave an affirmative answer.

Wang Lanling said suspiciously: "Isn't Muzhou often hit by disasters? Heavy rain, heavy snow, and droughts. ”

Ma Guanqing said: "That's right, but Muzhou is very big, there are mountains, desert grasslands, seas, lakes, and big rivers and lakes. ”

"Most of the herders are concentrated in the grasslands and rainy cultivated areas, and a lot of the land has been abandoned for some reason."

Wang Lanling nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That's it, I know." ”
