Guests from the south?

After seeing the guests, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but be stunned.

It's the Tang family again.

Although he had only seen Tang Qiyi in the Tang family, he was also impressed by him, because of the centipede-like scar on his face from his forehead to his cheeks.

"Little Tang Qi has seen Shi Gongzi."

After seeing the salute, Tang Qi said again.

"The little one came here this time on the orders of my young lady to send something to my son."

Sending something?

This Tang Ziqi ...... I didn't know what surprise I was going to give myself, and after a while, when he saw the gift sent by Tang Ziqi, Shi Yiwen was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

This is...... Looking at these horses in front of him with a shoulder height of no more than one meter six, Shi Yiwen couldn't believe his eyes, these horses must be from Europe, and the tall ones over there should be riding horses, as for those sturdy horses, they must be heavy horses.

"Childe, you see that these four are the "Pulabangsun horses", these six are the "hungry horses", these five are the "Ontara Siya horses", and these six are the "hungry lappo horses", these horses were specially ordered by my young lady to be bought from the Westerners in Macao, and some of the horses even came from the Spaniards in Luzon. ”

Although Tang Qi's name sounded a little strange to Shi Yiwen, after a little understanding, he almost figured out that the "Hungry Waiting Horse" should be the "Alden Horse", the "Andalusian Horse" is the "Andalusian Horse", and the "Hungry La Po Horse" is likely to be an Arabian horse. As for the larger "Palabunson" horse, it should be a large heavy pull horse, which is somewhat different from the Alden horse.

This is really a person who is sleepy and sleepy, and he was thinking about how to solve the problem of horses, after all, whether it is a public carriage or a wooden track, he needs a heavier horse with better performance.

"Childe, this horse is really tall, true, really a god horse!"

Opening his eyes wide, Wu Cai muttered, as for Liu Yu, when he looked at the horses in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble even his legs, this horse was inevitably too big.

"But, it's not, let's, our horse is compared with it, then, that's a donkey......"

They were excited, and Shi Yiwen was also excited, and in addition to being excited, he knew that he really owed Tang Ziqi a favor this time.

"Miss Tang, do you have a letter for you to bring here?"

"Back to Gongzi, Miss only instructed the little one to send the horse over, if the son has a letter, he can give it to the little one to take to Nanjing."

Tang Qibi said respectfully.

There are no letters...... This Tang Ziqi!

With a long sigh in his heart, Shi Yiwen thought for a moment, and then said.

"In this way, Tang Qi, you live at home first, rest for two days and then go back, your young lady gave me this generous gift, I can't say anything here."

What kind of gift should I repay?

Shi Yiwen thought to himself, after instructing his subordinates to take care of the horses to the stable, he deliberately entered the space again, walked around the space, and finally chose a landing dressing environment.

"I will let people make a frame out of mahogany, although the size is not as good as the two in the palace, but such a size is rare in the world!"

Thinking so in her heart, Shi Yiwen thought that she often went out, and deliberately took out two portable makeup mirrors.

"In this way, it's almost enough to repay this favor."

Of course, entering the space again, not just to get a mirror to return favors, in addition to finding "Horse Breeding" and "Horse Breeding" and other books related to horse breeding, he also deliberately rode a battery car to the Provincial Institute of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to find the equipment he needed, where he found some of the equipment he needed.

After taking out those devices, Shi Yiwen was not in a hurry to use them, but called Wu Cai and said to him.

"Maoda, I've thought about it, I want to reclaim that reed by the sea into pasture."

If he was only thinking about cultivating tens of millions of acres of reeds into fertile land, then now, the arrival of more than a dozen horses has given Shi Yiwen a new idea.

"Reclaimed as ranch?"

Wu Cai looked at Shi Yiwen in surprise.

"Yes!"

Shi Yiwen nodded.

"It is easier to reclaim pasture than to reclaim fertile land, and compared with fertile land, only need to cut down or burn the reeds, and then you can directly plant salt-alkali tolerant pasture, and you can also reduce the salinity content in the land by planting saline-alkali tolerant crops such as sagebrush, and there is a period of more than ten years, the salinity content in the land can be reduced, and then the pasture can be directly reclaimed as fertile land by digging irrigation canals, so that grazing and reclamation are not wrong."

Facing Wu Cai, Shi Yiwen explained his thoughts, he deliberately checked some information in the space library, and in Xinjiang and other places, by planting saline-alkali tolerant crops such as sagebrush in saline-alkali land, the saline-alkali content can be greatly reduced, and it can eventually be transformed into fertile land.

This is clearly the lowest cost and fastest way to get results.

"Childe, just because of those dozen horses?"

Wu Cai looked at him puzzled and asked.

"Just for the sake of a dozen horses, is it worth it?"

Wu Cai's doubts fell on Shi Yiwen's eyes, making him smile and say.

"Maoda, don't underestimate these dozen horses, if you use them properly, the effect of these horses will definitely be beyond your expectations, I am thinking about using these good horses as stallions, breeding the new horses we need, these horses do not seem to be much, but to use some special methods, it is not impossible for a horse to breed thousands or even tens of thousands of horses a year."

"Thousands of horses? A horse? ”

With his eyes wide open, Wu Cai only wanted to say, I don't read much, don't lie to me, such a ridiculous thing in this world.

"How is this possible?"

Shi Yiwen didn't know how to explain Wu Cai's surprised appearance, after all, knowledge such as manual scripture teaching was too advanced for people in this era.

"Well, this is a special method, how to say it, we have few horses, if you want to breed horses, you have to find another way, using this method, if it is diluted, a stallion can be matched with thousands or even tens of thousands of mares a year, so that our horses can easily breed hundreds of thousands of horses."

Shi Yiwen didn't continue to explain, after all, he had only read it from the book, and even the equipment he took from the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Research Institute was only for cattle...... It's pretty much the same, anyway, the equipment is not complicated, so let's study it slowly later.

Shi Yiwen was talking to himself in his heart, and said to Wu Cai, who was full of surprise.

"This, the most important thing now is that on the one hand, we must reclaim the reeds on the seashore into pastures, and on the other hand, we must buy horses from Zhangjiakou, buy as many mares as possible, at least tens of thousands, and see who is right to do this."

Childe's words, Wu Cai asked in surprise.

"Tens of thousands? What do we need so many horses for? ”
