On the north bank of the Yalu River in the Korean Province, the emperor's honor guard is simple, but it is still the Xuanjia guard into an army, stretching out, and the horse team is like a ten-mile-long giant python, just wrapped in the big tent of the Chinese army, loose but sharp.

"Oh? This is the deer? ”

"The biggest wild is untamable and has a violent temper, but as long as it is occasionally domesticated, it is stronger than the ox. There are two other species in the moraine, and one or three small brown bears have been killed, which are rare monsters. "The person who spoke in front of the emperor was Jia Fei, who was promoted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although he is now young and has a low position, he is even complained that he "often works with birds and beasts", but the emperor is not a scholar, and he can use it as the minimum quality.

"In this case, the reindeer are useless."

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true."

Jia Fei said sincerely, "The most suitable for autumn and winter is not the bighorn moose, but the bighorn reindeer." This deer is inferior in size, but there is also cow horsepower, the snow gallops twice as much as the Mobei horse, the line is twenty miles, you can make up the concentrate once, the meat fat is higher than the Mobei horse, lower than the Hetao horse. The rest of the red deer and elk, which are prolific in China, are Chuzhou and Yangzhou, and there are also wild species. ”

"Can a reindeer transport a stone of rice grain?"

"Yes."

Reindeer can transport more than 100 catties of supplies, but 100 catties is a key point, which can be worth the capacity of three to five people. Most of the time, when people are used for transportation, the loss is not the transportation itself, but the people themselves have to eat food.

This is also the reason why livestock is so important, in addition to the high single capacity, livestock can not eat staple food, but eat miscellaneous grains, which can save a lot of money.

Even in places like Wuhan, where road transport conditions are several times higher than elsewhere, the number of livestock is a very important criterion, not only for the intake of meat protein, but also for the transportation needs of 500 miles and 1,000 miles by land. Therefore, Zhang De opened up a large number of horse farms on the sandbar in the center of the Yangtze River.

On both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, if there is no demand for grain output, it is a fairly high-quality horse breeding land, but in order to avoid encroachment on basic grain output, Zhang De chose hillside land and sandbar to raise horses.

"Jia Qing is reindeer, can it be effective?"

"Three hundred large-breed deer have been selected, and 3,500 reindeer of each grade have been stocked for 17 years, and 300 have been put into use for the Dunhuang Palace. Eighteen years to expand the bar, Hebei Liaoxi has a total of 5,200 reindeer, and more than 1,000 Hetao, if it is called in winter, now it is enough. ”

In the end, reindeer were only a supplement for horses, in fact, outside of the emperor's tent, camels were used for winter transportation. And it is also a kind of bimodal long-haired camel that is preferred, this kind of camel is not as moulted as the common Bactrian camel, and it is more difficult in summer, but in winter, the combat effectiveness is doubled.

"Compared with cattle and horses, how much feed does this deer use?"

"You can save at least 30%."

If the reindeer do not have special needs, such as eating deer milk, venison, and antlers, then if they chase the tundra woodland, they can save more, and among the large animals, they can also shepherd sheep.

If it is kept in captivity, the demand for green fodder is less than that of cattle and horses, and in the final analysis, the reindeer body is more important.

"Between Jia Qing, how much can the royal family raise?"

What the emperor asked was how much of the population was cost-effective, and Jia Junpeng understood that this emperor was different from other swaggering bosses, and he had extremely high requirements for practical profits. If raising deer is not economical, then just don't raise it, and don't you just raise it?

"It's useless to have more, three thousand is enough."

The 3,000 number of deer is almost the amount of a small tribe, which can ensure that there is no need to rely too much on fishing and hunting, and life is much better.

"Hmmm......"

Li Dong nodded, very satisfied with Jia Fei's reply. Jia Fei is a very talented person, and he can be called an "authority" in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. If it weren't for Jia Fei's background in the Dahe Workshop and the talent cultivated by Zhang De, Li Dong would have been entrusted with an important task long ago, rather than being under the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It's not that he didn't tempt Jia Fei with "chasing Jia Sixian", in fact, the people of the Jia clan are very tempted, and Jia Fei himself is also excited, but reason still prevails over emotion.

Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all courtiers of Emperor Zhenguan, they really didn't divide the camps, and they were all loyal to the king, who would believe it?

Jia Fei Jia Junpeng, even if he serves the emperor from the palace, he is still Zhang De's person.

Moreover, Zhang De, who is thousands of miles away, has never had excessive requirements for Jia Fei, and Zhang De has no constraints in the process of Jia Fei's self-study.

If you want materials and materials, you want technology to give technology, and after more than ten years of squandering funds, Jia's reincarnation ten times can't afford to pay it back.

If Jia Fei really knelt down and licked the emperor in an all-round way, Zhang De would not say anything, but the Jia family would completely take the road of "lonely minister".

A new officialdom who is promoted on a non-imperial examination road, or in the area of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, who will be a "lonely minister"?

What's more, Jia Fei didn't think about it, just by his age, Zhang Decai is thirty, what about the emperor?

Taking a step back, unless one hundred percent sure that the next emperor is not Li Chengqian, then Jia Fei will have a chance. As far as Li Chengqian's mentality towards Zhang De is concerned, Jia Fei has not seen it.

"I want to open the Agricultural Affairs Department, for the Hongwen Pavilion directly under the Yamen, Jia Qing is willing to be the commander?"

"Your Majesty, but there is a sending, and the ministers will go all out."

"Okay."

Li Dong's tone was flat, he glanced at Jia Fei, and then looked at the narrow water surface on the Yalu water, where the winter snow froze a large part of the water on both sides of the river, but there were still boats struggling to move forward.

The team of slender men on the south bank is mostly some Buyeo rebels, as well as the Tatar people who do not obey the king's plunder.

Syllable!

With a fierce whip, the slender man who was lying in the snow rolled his thin hat aside, revealing the extremely ugly hairstyle inside, and his scalp was exposed to the cold air, so that the weak slender man who was lying down quickly struggled to grab his hat and put it on his head.

By this time, however, the overseer's whip had been drawn, and after only two or three blows, the slender man could no longer move, and in a moment two mounted soldiers came and tied the slender man's legs and feet with lassoes, and rode forward, and the slender man, who had been dragged away, made a long ravine in the snow......

The Emperor watched all this with great interest, and the slender men were not even restless, but as if numb, they continued to bow their heads and pull the boat in the Yalu water.

"It is said that the wild species of the barbarium are difficult to domesticate, and I look at it, there is a kind of reindeer."

On the side, Jia Junpeng's face trembled, and he only dared to make promises, but he didn't dare to say more than half a word.

Looking at the afterglow, Jia Fei saw those slender men, who didn't know that they were the Yan tribe who came out to rob in the winter moon. It's just that what the people never expected was that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was actually in Liaodong, and their robbery was like hitting the pillar with their heads.

The first great achievement of the current emperor after coming to power was the annexation of Turkic animal husbandry, you know, the Zhenguan Emperor has really seen a lot of this kind of thing. It is precisely because he has seen a lot that anyone who dares to imitate the Turks, he is a thunderous means and does not show kindness.
