This is a vast, vast land, and in the spring season, it is a field of grass and flowers.

Zheng Sheng's eyes are full of greenery!

The low hillside is like a wave in the green sea, and a jade ribbon of water slowly passes through the middle, plus the green trees dotted in between. Looking at the sky from afar, at the end of the green sea is a continuous group of mountains.

Blue sky and blue sea, green trees and white river.

Zheng Sheng laughed heartily. It's the best horse farm he can imagine!

Yes, the horse farm.

Since the last time he had ridden a horse, he was even more eager to learn to ride a horse, and Liu Yang's cavalry gave him a glimpse of the impact of cavalry.

In the future, if he has such a powerful "weapon", he will definitely be more confident in the face of any enemy.

The matter of the cavalry must be prepared for a rainy day now.

So, how do you get a good horse? How do you raise a horse after you get it? What if there is no suitable pasture for horses? These are all questions that he must consider.

Arriving here today, Zheng Sheng felt that the last problem had been solved.

Zheng Sheng turned his head and asked Wen Xiao, "This is a grassland, why don't you tell me?" ”

Clerical filial piety has a question mark on his face, "Prairie? Oh, the prince said this meadow! Well, it's just a meadow, and there's nothing special about it. Normally, only people who raise cattle and sheep in Juli come here to graze their cattle and sheep. ”

"How big is this meadow?" Zheng Sheng only thought about his own business, all he saw in front of him was grass, and he knew that this grass was not small, but he still had to ask and understand it in detail.

"From here to the bottom of Xiju Mountain, there is grassland for nearly ten miles. Well, Fangju Creek turns to the north, and there are mostly grasslands on both sides. "Essay filial piety comes back to the taste, Zheng Shizi seems to have a soft spot for this meadow!

Continuing to walk along Fangju Creek, what Zheng Sheng saw was indeed as Wen Xiao said, it was a continuous grassland.

Zheng Sheng estimated that there was at least more than ten miles of land here, and the land was covered with tender grass. It's a pity that he can only sit in the ox cart now, watching the healthy ox slowly bow his head and chew the grass.

It must be nice to come here to raise horses!

After returning to Jushui, Zheng Sheng summoned everyone to announce that he would change the original southbound plan.

"Don't go south, stay in Jushuiju?" The crowd was amazed.

Zheng Sheng didn't go south because he had found pasture, and one of the main purposes of coming here had been achieved. And what he could see when he went south was nothing more than mountains, forests and villages, which he could go over to see at any time.

But he was already a little impatient to get a horse.

The glass business is already moving forward. If all goes well, there will be no shortage of funds to buy horses from the Western Regions and the North.

Next, the most important thing is the channel where the horse is purchased.

Thanks to the growth of Zheng's firm, Zheng Wen knew many businessmen from other places, even those who came from afar in the Western Regions.

But there are almost no people who come to Jingzhou to sell horses. Zheng Sheng once asked Zheng Wen about this.

The reason is the result of more than 100 years of long-term war, which not only made the good horses of the Central Plains extinct, but also the Jin court also paid more attention to the horse trade with various nomadic tribes.

Merchants who can come to the Central Plains to sell horses will not be able to enter if they do not have a deep background and no one behind them.

The official army of the Jin State is also short of horses!

For example, the Zheng family now has nearly 100 large and small horses, and it is already the family with the largest number of horses in Nanyang. But Zheng's horses were only suitable for transportation.

Zheng Sheng once thought of getting a few horses from the north and crossing them with local horses to create a new breed of horses. But he couldn't get the northern horses, and the hybridization became nonsense.

It has been seven or eight years since I came to the Jin Kingdom, and the footsteps of Wuhu Chaohua are gradually approaching. Zheng Sheng didn't know which day it would be, and the iron horsemen of the Huns and Xianbei came one after another.

He couldn't wait until he was old enough to do something. For example, buying a horse, Zheng Sheng has to work hard now.

It is the most practical way to let Zheng Wen help, Zheng Wen is already working hard, but the effect is not good. In addition, it is the Xiliang Zhang family, the family that bought Zheng Zi paper from the Zheng family has promised him that they will help buy horses in Liangzhou. But Zhang's caravan has been silent since it left last year.

In addition to this road, Zheng Sheng was also going to talk to Sima Dingyun and ask him to help find a way to buy a horse near Luoyang. If he was unwilling to help, Zheng Sheng planned to let the Zheng people who followed him to Luoyang do it.

In addition to these two paths, Zheng Sheng remembered the horse he had ridden. Bubo "exerted" magic is one thing, but the real meekness of the horse is the fundamental reason. He is a fast runner and has a docile temperament, and is really a good horse.

Later, the horse was taken away by Sima Xin's entourage. And in those few days, he didn't remember to ask Sima Xin about the origin of his family's horses.

Therefore, Zheng Sheng planned to take advantage of Shunyang to visit Sima Xin in Xinye, and ask about the horses by the way.

The next day, Zheng Sheng took Ye Jun and Liu Wei'er and went to Xinye under the protection of the four guards. They followed the chrysanthemum all the way to the east, and after reaching the turbulent water, they found a boat house and went down the river to the east, and the speed was even faster.

The winter ice melted, the spring water was happy, although this small boat could not be called a thousand miles in a day, but it only took half a day for them to arrive at Xinye County, which was more than 100 miles away.

In this place of Xinye, Zheng Shengjiu admires the name!

It is the southern gate of Namyang County, and its geographical location is very important.

When he arrived in Xinye, Zheng Sheng returned to the world, if Snake Panzhuang and Jushuiju were primeval forests, Xinye was a human city.

Looking at the crowded street, Zheng Sheng asked two guards to escort Liu Wen'er to the inn first, and he went to Sima Xin's mansion.

The mansion is easy to find, but it is a little difficult to meet Sima Xin.

Zheng Sheng looked at the more than ten people gathered in front of the Xinye County Mansion, and asked Ye Jun to go over and ask to know that they were all here to see Sima Xin.

"The county magistrate has been sick recently." Ye Jun brought back the news.

Infected with a disease? Is this an excuse to avoid seeing customers, or is it really sick? Zheng Sheng hesitated, asked Ye Jun to come over, and handed the name card to the doorman.

A fat man in gorgeous clothes on the side sneered: "The county public has a disease, what kind of post are you handing over this little guy?" ”

Ye Jun ignored him and returned to Zheng Sheng's side.

The fat man walked up to Zheng Sheng with a scolding and squinted at him with his face up, "Boy, you're not from Xinye?" Why are you wrapped in a stick? ”

Zheng Sheng looked at his underbeaten face, perhaps bored waiting at the door. wanted to find someone to vent his anger, and when he saw that Zheng Sheng was young and young, he wanted to come over and bully him.

Zheng Sheng ignored him and waited outside the door.

The fat man grinned and talked to the people around him, and laughed at Zheng Sheng: "Don't be arrogant, you kid, we all came to see the county magistrate, and we have waited for a few days, but we haven't seen each other yet." Who are you, how can you meet the county magistrate? ”

"It's just that I can't do it."

"Haha, boy, go home and nurse!"

Zheng Sheng turned a deaf ear, and a few flies were buzzing.

"If the county prince sees him, I will willingly drill under his crotch!" The fat man laughed.

"Brother Niu, that's a good thing! If the county ......"

The door opened, and the doorman, who was still arrogant just now, hurriedly walked out and bowed deeply to Zheng Sheng, "Shizi, the villain is rude." Please come with me, the county justice is waiting for you. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, and glanced at Niu Fat Man and the others, who were watching this scene with their mouths open and staring.

Zheng Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Niu, huh?" Forget it about drilling under the crotch, I can't stand it. As long as you don't appear in front of me in the future. ”

Ye Jun straightened his waist and tucked his abdomen, and followed Zheng Sheng into the mansion very freely. The people who were left in shock stood still for a long time.

Sima Xin's mansion was not very luxurious. Maybe it's because he has just come to the kingdom and hasn't built a new temple yet.

Zheng Sheng saw him in the study.

When Zheng Sheng arrived, he was sitting under the window, reading a book in the bright spring light. But he did look pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Sima Xin stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit on the other side, "You are not in Qingzhuling, why did you come to Xinye?" ”

Zheng Sheng said about his inspection of the "territory", "It happened to be not far from your side, so I came to visit the county magistrate." ”

Sima Xin shook his head.

Immediately, Zheng Sheng continued to talk about his experience a few days ago, and Sima Xin listened to it with great interest.

Zheng Sheng said with a dry mouth.

Sima Xin became interested in the source of Juxi, "Is it the Juxi water that Yuan Lu, the former Han Taifu, once drank?" Fangju Creek is its synonym! ”

Zheng Sheng said that this is beyond his understanding, who is Yuan Lu? A master of the Han Dynasty, he still really drinks the water in that pool?

Is...... O man of grace! Zheng Sheng also thought that in his previous life, he had indeed heard that there were any old people in a hundred-year-old village who drank what mountain spring water to live a long life, and that chrysanthemum water also had this effect?

Sima Xin didn't pay attention to Zheng Sheng's thoughts, and he listed many of the previous generations of gentlemen who had drunk chrysanthemum water.

Zheng Sheng felt more and more abnormal, Sima Xin was only twenty, right? Thinking about longevity at this age? Zheng Sheng looked at him with a strange expression.

Sima Xin talked for a long time, but did not get a positive answer from Zheng Sheng, so he left the topic behind. Sima Xin asked him to continue drinking tea.

Zheng Sheng was a little worried, he didn't come here to tell stories to Sima Xin, but he seemed to have rejected Sima Xin just now? Why are you embarrassed to ask him?

So, Zheng Sheng began to find a topic: "County official, I heard that you are sick?" ”

"It's just a little itch." Sima Xin didn't tell him that this was the result of Liu Dong hammering him in the ribs that day. The doctor's order was that he needed to take medicine and recuperate for a year. Sima Xin took this opportunity to close his door.

Zheng Sheng scratched his head: "It's not good to recuperate in this mansion, it's too boring." Why don't you go to Fangju Creek for a few days? It just so happens that it's quiet over there, and the spring scenery is also good, which is very suitable for resting. ”

Sima Xin's face remained unchanged, but he acted very quickly, and he arched his hand, "Thank you." ”

Zheng Sheng couldn't understand why Sima Xin had such a strong ...... for Juxiyuan Desire?

In this way, Zheng Sheng's journey to Xinye ended.

In the afternoon of this day, Sima Xin and Zheng Sheng and their entourage left Xinye and went back to Jushui to gather.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is Zheng Xiaoshizi who arrived in Xinye, and "tricked" the Xinye County Duke away!

For a time, Zheng Sheng's name spread all over Jingbei again.
