Hu Chi'er saved Cao's life with his life, and Cao didn't dare to be careless about his personal guards.

At the same time, Lu Fan, the general of Eastern Wu and the first-class martial arts in history, was appointed as the main general, and Wang Zhong, the general of Yangwu of Wei and the first-class cavalry general in martial arts, was appointed as the assistant, and the two personal bodyguards.

Originally, Huangfu Li proposed that Liao Hua or Wang Shuang, who were more powerful in martial arts and ability, serve as auxiliary bodyguards, but Cao "sex" was unwilling to destroy Cao Zhen's side, and it was all a rising star team, and Wang Zhong was finally selected from the army.

Seeing that Su Shuang was no longer speechless by Wang Zhong, Cao's "sexual" face revealed confidence, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, don't worry about the grain first, how much newly cultivated land is there in Zhenyang now?" How is the horse farm built? ”

After knowing that the male war horses were castrated, establishing his own horse farm has always been an urgent matter for Cao's "sex".

Su Shuang was originally a businessman who raised and sold horses, and now he was in charge of logistics for himself, so the matter of the horse farm was naturally handed over to him.

Su Shuang didn't understand why Cao didn't care about the most important food issue, and he cared about the horse farm and cultivated land, but he still found the relevant data from the book in his hand, and said: "The lord buys ploughing cattle and ploughing horses from all over the country, and even does not want to transport cattle and horses from Liaodong thousands of miles away, so that Zhenyang's ploughing cattle have reached 5,000 heads, and there are 3,000 ploughing horses.

So many ploughing cattle and ploughing horses are rare in the whole Jingzhou, and after three months, a lot of cultivated land has been cultivated, reaching one million acres! ”

"Wait!" Su Shuang's eyebrows flew and danced, with a look of pride, but Cao "sex" frowned again, interrupting his words: "In three months, 8,000 ploughing cattle, ploughing horses, and more than 100,000 soldiers, excluding the old and young who can't work, there are no less than 80,000 young and strong men and women can't be recruited, why did you reclaim one million acres of cultivated land in three months?"

Isn't it just burning the wasteland and turning the soil? Why is it so inefficient? ”

Su Shuang had never heard the word efficiency, but combined with Cao's "sexuality" words, he also guessed what he meant, but this is really a fact, millions of acres of cultivated land are still in full swing in all the garrisons, without the slightest laziness, it is the most efficient time he has ever seen:

"My lord? Although it is not my sole responsibility to reclaim wasteland, as far as I know, the efficiency of the garrison is already extremely high, and it is impossible to do it faster! ”

Su Shuang doesn't seem to be lying, and there is no need to lie, but why did it take three months to cultivate a million acres? In the previous life, when the oxen ploughed over, the land was turned up at once, even if it was relatively hard dry land, it would not take an hour to plow an acre.

The wasteland reclaimed in Zhenyang is all burned by fire, and it is only necessary to clean up the residue, and then use cattle and horses to plough it, or use people to hoe the land.

Wait a minute!

Thinking of this, Cao's "sex" had a flash of inspiration.

Oxen ploughing the fields? Plough!

"Mr. Su, what does the plow we use look like?"

Su Shuang was asked now, and he didn't know how to describe it, so he danced and began to compare.

Cao couldn't understand anything, so he asked the key directly: "You just say it's a plow, whether it's straight or curved!" ”

"Straight!"

Well, another big mistake!

"Don't mention this yet, you will notify Ma Jun to come and see me later!" Cao "sex" skipped the topic again: "Let's talk about the horse farm again!" How is the horse farm built? May produce Dawan horses! ”

Cao 'sex' usually speaks differently from ordinary people, which makes people a little incomprehensible, and today his words, Su Shuang is even more suspicious, and put it aside for the time being, Su Shuang continued:

"The horse farm has been built, although our army has dozens of good Dawan war horses, but there are only six mares that can be used for breeding, looking all over the army, and only finding it is from General Wang Shuang, find a Dawan stallion that has not been castrated, this is also a relatively ordinary Dawan horse, or because General Wang Shuang's "nature" is so strong, superb riding, conquer and control the live, otherwise there is no stallion, all castrated.

Although it is not as good as a thousand-mile horse that the lord sits on, it is expensive because it can be used as a stallion. ”

When it comes to sitting on a mount with some sweat and blood, Cao "sex" is very regretful.

A good horse of a thousand miles, which cannot be used to reproduce, has become a gelding equivalent to consumables! This is also why there are always a large number of records of purebred sweat and blood horses during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Castration for the sake of war horses is unheard of now, and it may be that Lu Bu's red rabbit horse blood is pure.

"My lord, there are more than 100 mares in Xiliang horses, but there are only two stallions, but they are grassland horses, because of the main father-in-law's Tianxian Temple, there are many Central Plains horses, southern dwarf horses, stallions, and mares.

I have selected two hundred of the best steppe stallions as horse breeds, and there are not many cavalry battles these days, and mares of the right age can be used for breeding.

In the whole Zhenyang, there are more than 500 excellent mares as war horses, in addition to more than 1,000 grassland mares, more than 1,000 Central Plains mares, and 2,000 southern dwarf mares.

A mare has one litter a year, one foal per litter, and can generally start breeding from one and a half years old and can breed until ten years old.

If we don't need a mare to go to the battlefield, then every year, we can get 5,000 foals, including Dawan young horses, Xiliang young horses, grassland young horses, and grassland Central Plains hybrid young horses, no less than 2,000, and after ten years, we will no longer worry about the number of war horses. ”

The steppe horse is the Mongolian horse of later generations, which is relatively short in size and does not look good.

However, the grassland horse that survives under the harsh conditions of the grassland is hardworking, not afraid of cold, and has tenacious vitality, and has always been a good war horse breed.

Adult prairie horses, after being tamed, can basically be used as war horses.

2,000 war horses a year, and then select the best ones, and you can get 1,000 qualified horses a year.

In Jiangnan, where there is a serious shortage of horses, it is certain that the entire Jiangnan combined, there are not a thousand war horses.

This will be a qualitative leap, although the south of the Yangtze River has many water veins, mountains and forests, and the cavalry cannot get the greatest play, but the role of the cavalry is still very large, and if it is used well, it is a trump card.

"Good! Continue to work hard, the venue, pasture and other funds can be reported to me, I will try my best to satisfy you, but I will use our war horses produced in the south in a few years to "swing" the northern group of ugly! ”

Cao's "sex" tone was excited, and the generals listened to it with enthusiasm.

"No!" Su Shuang responded.

After understanding all kinds of things, Cao "sex" returned to the most important theme, looked at Zhou Chao, who was about to go home on vacation for half a month, with encouragement in his eyes, and said in a domineering tone: "General Zhou, you tell everyone loudly!" How do the people of Shanyue, who have sparse arable land, spend the winter when there is a lack of prey! ”

Grain has been the biggest problem plaguing development in all dynasties.

Cao's domineering performance made Su Shuang very puzzled.

Zhou Chao, the owner of the Zhenghong Banner of Shanyue people, replied, he only said one word, but it was full of endless killing intent, which set off the domineering spirit of Cao's sex:

"Rob!"
