Chapter 248: Night (First Update, Asking for Support)

"Maoda, have you noticed that now in the capital, there are more and more two-wheeled light carriages that drive behind."

Facing Wu Cai's doubts, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

This kind of light carriage was originally in the middle of the 19th century, the Englishman John Henson invented a light carriage, this kind of two-wheeled carriage driven behind the car, as soon as it was invented, it was popular for its lightness, speed and flexibility.

After Shi Yiwen introduced it into this world, it was immediately sought after by the rich officials, compared to the sedan chair, it is faster, and the cost of raising a horse is far less than that of several sedan chairmen, so that the cheap and more comfortable light carriage is naturally welcomed by people.

"There have been a lot of them recently, and to tell you the truth, my carriage dealership, all of the more than 100 carriages have been rented out, and none of them are idle. Now I'm thinking about adding some more carriages/"

Because he has invested in a horse-drawn carriage rental company, even if Wu Cai is not directly involved in business, he can be quite familiar with this. Saying this, Wu finally understood what the proprietor meant.

"I see, what does Childe mean to sell after breeding horses?"

"That's true,"

Nodding slightly, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"No matter how many horses there are, there are not too many horses. After all, it has many uses, whether it is our carriage shop, or the future railway, a large number of horses are needed, that is, in the future, there will be more and more folk carriages, whether it is a four-wheeled heavy-duty carriage, or a two-wheeled light carriage, it will definitely become more and more popular, and at that time, the high-headed horses bred by our horse farm will be welcomed by the market. ”

Even if there is a steam locomotive in the future, it will not affect the horse-drawn carriage, it will not affect the horse, after all, before the advent of the automobile, the horse has always been the most important means of transportation. From the perspective of the experience of later generations, the modernization of any country is accompanied by the modernization of horse politics, which is actually the introduction of modern horse breeding science to breed and improve the country's horses.

In another time and space, the most successful is Japan, which has completely changed the situation of its own horses being too short to use in just a few decades, and even in those fourteen years, compared to the shortness of the Japanese, the "Oriental horse" has formed a rather comical picture with it.

Now, I also have the opportunity to improve the horses of the Ming Dynasty, although I can't use the power of the country to carry out the reform of the horse policy like Japan, but the market is ...... The market drove people to take the initiative to improve horses, after all, horses could be sold for a good price, and for dignitaries, they were naturally happy to use tall horses rather than donkey-like Mongolian horses.

In the future, Merino sheep can also be bred in that pasture to obtain high-quality sheep wool, after all, in the future Xiaoice period, the people need warm clothing such as sweaters and woolen in addition to cotton clothes. It can even breed new types of pigs, beef cattle and dairy cows, and that pasture may become another foundation of the Ming Dynasty, like Shitaizhuang.

Thinking of this, Shi Yiwen's heart couldn't help but be a little agitated, and a special emotion even surged out of his heart, as if he had seen some kind of change and was promoting this change step by step.

That night, lying at his desk, under the light of the small lamp, Shi Yiwen wrote the breeding path of the horses there.

"By crossing Arabian horses with Mongolian horses to the fifth generation and then cross-crossing and fixing their offspring, a new type of horse ...... similar to the Don hippopotamus can be produced"

While copying the information of modern horse breeding, Shi Yiwen said to himself.

"It takes almost fifteen years for three years, heck, this is really not something that can be completed in a short period of time, no wonder it is Ma Zheng's 20-year plan or something like that."

As for the breeding of heavy horses, there is a successful experience of "Northeast horses" in later generations, that is, the breeding method of first using light horses to increase the physical strength of local horses, and then using heavy horses to increase the pulling force of local horses, which has played a good role in the improvement of agricultural horses in Northeast China. In the end, the "Tieling Horse" with equal horsepower and a liberation car was cultivated, and it was natural that it could be directly used as a doctrine.

However, it is only limited to this, after all, in another time and space, when New China began to implement modern horse breeding, horses have begun to be replaced by machinery, and eventually all the breeding work will naturally have no afterword, but now with these materials from later generations, Shi Yiwen believes that he is enough to change the backward situation of the Ming Dynasty, at least to a certain extent.

"If this is done, maybe in the future, the railway will be built to the whole world......

When he was talking to himself, Shi Yiwen heard footsteps behind him, and he could hear who it was without looking back, it was Kou Yun.

"Young master, it's late at night, where is the young master resting today? Is it in the study or ......"

Looking at Kou Yun, who was full of pink, Shi Yiwen, who understood her thoughts, smiled.

"Of course I went back to the house to sleep, you came just in time, help me pinch my shoulder, I wrote something for a long time, and my shoulder was sore...... Well, comfortable. ”

Enjoying the comfort of pinching his shoulders with his fingers, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it.

When pressing the shoulder for the young master, Kou Yun saw an envelope next to the lamp on the table, she had long been used to the lamp that emitted a bright white light, and she didn't feel fresh, she would see the letter, her heart couldn't help but be slightly sour, and said softly.

"Miss Tang's mind is really meticulous, and she knows what the young master needs here as far away as Nanjing."

As a maidservant, although her heart is a little sour, she also knows the disparity in identity, so she naturally doesn't dare to have other ideas.

"Well, this time I owe her a favor again, this favor ......"

It's not good!

"Young master, you said, she is so concerned about your affairs, could she have any thoughts about you?"

Kou Yun's words made Shi Yiwen stunned, and in his surprised effort, he heard Kou Yunjiao say again.

"Young master, the maid has heard that Miss Tang not only has a lot of vision, but even has the idea of finding a door-to-door aunt in her heart, shouldn't she be thinking about the young master, if this is the case, the young master will never agree, this door-to-door entry is insulting to the ancestors."

Kou Yun's worry made Shi Yiwen laugh.

"You Nizi, you think a lot in your heart, and I have a sense of proportion with her......"

When he said this, Shi Yiwen turned his head to look at Kou Yun's face that looked like a certain little flower, and his palm couldn't help but press her hand.

"Young Master......"

Kou Yun only felt that when the young master's gaze came over, it was bold and enthusiastic......
