Liu Wu heard Lord Gao say this, and knew that he was in trouble, so he came out with Master Gao without asking where he was going. When he arrived in the courtyard, Liu Wu asked if he wanted to ride a horse, and the tall man said no. Liu Wu saw that he was walking towards the Liuzhong Ranch, and followed behind, not knowing what Master Gao had to say.

In the pasture, Mr. Gao took Liu Wu to see the two stables, and a set of effective horse breeding systems formulated by Liu Wu has been implemented very strictly, and the horses in the stables are fat and strong, and the shepherds on duty at night are also very dedicated.

Master Gao said that he felt a lot of emotion when he confronted Heida in the desert this time, but there were some things that he couldn't say to Simo, and he has been holding back until now. Master Gao said that the breeding of horses to the extent of Liu Zhongmu is said to be good. But we are raising military horses, and we are going to go to the battlefield. No matter how fat the horse is, it is not good to be slaughtered on the battlefield.

Liu Wu asked, "What did you see in the desert, Lord Gao?" ”

Gao Jun said that most horses will have no problem galloping during the day, but when it comes to night, they are not as good as they should be. Not to mention the slow speed, the timidity and frightening of most horses are revealed. This involved the cavalry's concealment at night, and the raids were mostly affected by the horses.

Master Gao said that if a horse affected the war, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of a ranch official!

The second is the fear of fire in horses, which is common to almost all hairy livestock. In this night battle against Heida, he saw with his own eyes that as soon as he saw the fire, he jumped around unruly, and he couldn't stop it, so he didn't mention fighting!

Another point is the adaptation of horses to the battlefield environment, which is not only related to the breed of horses, but also has a great relationship with taming. In the past, we only emphasized the purity of the horse breed, in order to fight together, the first horse was used in the first place, and the second horse was used in the second place, which was much more targeted.

But. Master Gao said, what if the cavalry we sent to fight in place A needs to be transferred directly to place B to fight because of the timing of the battlefield and it is too late to change horses?

Liu Wu listened to Lord Gao's words and immediately understood what Lord Gao meant. He hadn't thought about this kind of thing before, but he always thought that he was a shepherd, and the most important thing was to raise horses, and he had never made such a comprehensive and detailed induction as Gao Daren. After listening to the three points that Master Gao said, Liu Wu couldn't stop nodding. In my heart, I am also glad to have such a boss as Gao Da.

The two of them came out of the stable, and the tall man pointed to the stables near and far. "Lord Liu, look, these stables sleep as soon as it's dark, how can this work?" Pointing to the empty pasture, he said, "The good night was wasted!" ”

Liu Wu knew what Master Gao meant, and it seemed that it didn't take much investment to train the horses' night fighting ability, and it didn't cost much money at night. He asked, "Tall." Do you want to use the Yanaka Ranch at night next? ”

Master Gao shook his head, "No matter how you say this, this is a big change in pastoral affairs, and you should be more steady." The scale of Liuzhong Pasture in Xizhou Ranch is already too large, including Jiaohe, Puchang, and Liuzhong. It turns out that three of the five pastures in Xizhou are under the name of Liuzhong, and I want you to get this matter done in Jiaohe Mu first. ”

Liu Wu nodded, he knew that Lord Gao's intention to move was not just what he had just said. He let himself do it first in Jiaohe Mu, and he didn't go to Chen Nianggu, the chief pastor, for such a big thing. But he discussed it with himself first, and Liu Wu understood the meaning.

Since Master Gao had the final say in the ranch, Liu Wu was first promoted from the lower herd to the middle herd, and then to the upper herd. In less than five months, he was promoted to the deputy superintendent of the lower pastor, and such a speed of promotion is unique in the officialdom.

He didn't know what he liked about himself, but at least one thing was that he needed to do everything he thought of himself. From Lord Gao's words tonight, Liu Wu has already seen that Lord Gao is no longer the person who kicked Gongzi Jia when he was a fledgling, and Lord Gao at this time is more serious than then, and his thoughts about things are more comprehensive. Maybe it has something to do with what he went through.

Master Gao also said, "There are all kinds of unexpected things on the battlefield, such as they are sleeping, and suddenly there is a sound of artillery shouts, and the fire is everywhere, what do you think will happen to us horses?" Liu Wu didn't dare to think about it.

Master Gao also said that the use of horses must be specialized and miscellaneous. The next time the military department will recruit horses, I hope that the war horses transferred from Yanagi Zhongmu will consist of two parts, one is designed to adapt to the battlefield, and the other is to take into account mobility and can adapt to a variety of battlefields. As for how to handle this matter, I won't worry about it, it's up to you, Lord Liu, to think about it.

Liu Wu said that this matter should first use the group of herdsmen, because the duty of the shepherds is to train the horses, and it is still difficult to do it according to the will of the tall people, because the status of the herdsmen is not as good as a deputy leader.

Master Gao said, "I haven't already told you, I don't worry about these specific things, you think about it, tell me what you think, and then I'll nod my head." ”

The two of them talked as they walked, and went to the foal's house together, and a group of herdsmen carrying lanterns seemed busier than elsewhere. Lord Liu said, "I'm afraid that a foal has been born." ”

The two of them walked in, and five or six shepherds and the steward of the nursery were there. Two newborn foals were lying on the fine sand covered with soft grass, still wet from their soft fur, but they struggled to their feet with difficulty and strength, trembling slightly, and the tall man applauded and cheered.

The time had already entered the middle of the day, and the steward saw that the tall man was coming, and hurriedly came to meet him. The tall man was pleased, and said, "The mare who gives birth to the foal should serve with good water and good food!" Be like serving a woman for confinement! He also said, a shepherd is in charge of a horse, and he has to carry feces and urine! After speaking, he left with Lord Liu without looking back.

These stewards have long been familiar with the tall man's style of speaking, and he said that "a shepherd is in charge of a horse" is to be carried out, and the matter of "urine" is not necessary. But what the tall man didn't say clearly was that he should take care of it wholeheartedly. So, the steward hurriedly arranged.

The two of them had walked more than ten miles unconsciously, looked back and forth, and arrived at the center of the ranch, and the front and back roads were not close. Master Gao said, "Go to the old village and have a look." The two men stopped on foot, borrowed two horses from the stables, and were not worthy of the saddle to ride, and left them at the gate, and walked to the old village.

At present, the old village is not as lively as the new village, and at this hour, there are no pedestrians walking on the streets, and most of the families have turned off the lights and gone to sleep. Mr. Gao pointed to a courtyard on the north of the street that was still lit and said to Mr. Liu, "This is Xie Jinlian's eldest brother's house, let's go in and ask for tea." ”

Liu Wu knew that Lord Gao had always looked down on his two brothers-in-law, and the two brothers had been so stingy that they couldn't accommodate their sister, which made Lord Gao extremely disdainful, but he always put the hat of the old Xie family on his head. Master Gao usually doesn't have much to say when he sees this brother.

Liu Wu didn't know that since Master Gao came back from the desert this time, the matter of the Xie brothers had made Gao Jun quietly change his opinion of them. It's true that the two brothers love money, but they are really hopeless at the critical moment, which is the opposite of some people. Therefore, seeing that Xie Guang hadn't slept yet, he proposed to take a look.

The Xie Guang brothers' mansion is no longer what it used to be. Although the old ones are old, the houses and courtyard walls are all good bricks, and there is not a single adobe in sight, the roof is green tiles, and the hardwood courtyard door is hidden. Gao Jun didn't make a loud noise, and pulled Liu Wu into the courtyard. The lights were turned on in the west room, and a woman spoke, but it didn't sound like the sister-in-law of the Xie family.
