The meal was quickly swept away by Cheng Yanjin and others.

And just after everyone was full of wine and food, they rushed directly to Chang'an City.

On the way, Cheng Yanjin suddenly remembered something, and said: "Qin Tian, the horses will be sent over in a few days, you have to do the thing you said before about borrowing the belly to give birth to a horse, if it succeeds, when Qin Wu and they get the horses back, we will do it directly on a large scale, and after a year, we will be able to have a lot of thunder horses." ”

Cheng Yanjin loves horses very much, and he naturally likes a good horse like Ben Lei Ma.

Qin Tian felt that what Cheng Yanjin said also made sense, after all, let's try it now, if it really succeeds, it can be done on a large scale in advance in the future.

"Okay, don't worry, Lu Guogong, I'll test it in a few days."

When the group rushed back to Chang'an City, it was getting late, and the city gates were almost closed.

In the next few days, Cheng Biting Jin and the others moved the horses that were not used in their own house to the alpine pastures one after another, and Qin Tian also sent more than a dozen horses from his own house here.

After sending the horse over in this way, Qin Tian began artificial insemination.

After these people's horses were brought in, there were about a hundred horses in the alpine pastures, among them, there were good horses, and some horses were not of very high quality.

Qin Tian's experiment is relatively uncomplicated, that is, to take out the eggs of the stallion's tadpoles and mares, and then combine them, and after combining, find other mares with poor quality, and wipe these things in.

There is no sophisticated instrument, so the chance of successful conception will not be very high, but even if there is only a 10% chance of success, it is a very meaningful thing for them.

Because, sometimes there are a lot of things about stallions and mares.

Qin Tian did this for an ordinary mare for several days in a row, once a day, and after doing so, he waited for the result.

According to his understanding of horses, if this horse is successfully conceived, it should be able to see it in about half a month.

Of course, these can be given to those who have horses, and those who have horses know more about them.

The mare that was used for the test was protected and no stallion was allowed to approach it.

And just when Qin Tian was doing this, the news had already reached Li Shimin.

"Holy Lord, Qin Tian is impregnating a mare in the alpine pasture."

Hearing the news, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment: "Is he really going to do this?" ”

From the beginning, Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, but at this time, when he heard that Qin Tian was really doing this, he had some vague expectations, if he succeeded, it would definitely be of great significance to them.

They Datang no longer have to worry about the affairs of war horses.

"Okay, let him continue to do it, if it can really be done, I will reward him heavily."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin seemed to remember something again, and asked: "Are there any news from those people who went to Dawan to buy horses, and when will they come back?" ”

"Holy Lord, there is news, they have purchased almost more than five thousand Benlei horses from Dawan Kingdom, and they will be able to return to Chang'an City in about a month."

More than five thousand galloping horses is not much, at least for the construction of cavalry, it is a bit insufficient.

However, Li Shimin also knows that in addition to these horse farms, other merchants are also trafficking Benlei horses to Chang'an, and it won't be long before the number of Benlei horses in Chang'an City should be more than 10,000.

More than 10,000 Benleima, after a year or two, it can almost be used, and during this time, there will definitely be many Benleima entering Chang'an City one after another.

Roughly calculated, before the construction of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, not counting the breeding thunder horses, there may have been as many as 20,000 horses that only came in from Dawan Kingdom.

If the imperial court had money, it would probably be more.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's confidence is a little stronger.

And while Li Shimin was thinking about this in the imperial study, other people in Chang'an City also heard about Qin Tian's artificial insemination one after another, and after they heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

"Marquis Qin is really ...... It's ridiculous. ”

"Who says it's not, this kind of thing, that's what manpower can do?"

"Sometimes I really doubt Marquis Qin, you say he is smart, he is quite smart, but sometimes, how can he do such a stupid thing?"

"That's it, it's ......"

The remarks spread in Chang'an City, and no matter who they were, they thought Qin Tian was stupid enough to do such a thing.

In their opinion, this is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable, and if this kind of thing can be successful, then the knowledge they have received before will be completely subverted.

Kofu.

When Gao Shilian heard the news, he smiled.

"This Qin Tian is really stupid, but it's also a good thing for me, as long as he fails, I will impeach him again."

Qin Tian has become the laughing stock of Chang'an City, and this matter has also become everyone's laughing stock and talking point.

However, Qin Tian didn't care much about this, and after doing those things in the alpine pasture, he once again devoted himself to the affairs of Shangshu Province.

After all, the Shangyuan Festival has passed, a lot of work has to be on the right track, everything has to be busy, and it only takes half a month for him to know the result.

He may fail, but he won't give up.

Time is slow, and refined salt is the first to be sold in Chang'an City.

The taste of refined salt is very good, and the price is not expensive, and it is not much different from the previous salt, but not many people buy it.

There is no way, during the first year of Zhenguan, the people of Chang'an City frantically rushed to buy salt, and many people's salt was eaten for several months, or even half a year without any problems.

Nowadays, although refined salt is good, the salt of the common people has not been eaten, and it is unlikely that they will change refined salt.

That coarse salt isn't very tasty, but it's salt after all.

Not everyone can just eat salt.

However, ordinary people buy less, and the inns in Chang'an City have replaced all the previous coarse salt with refined salt, and there are no diners.

As long as there is an inn that uses refined salt for cooking, then other inns must use it, otherwise everyone will go to eat meals with refined salt, you don't use it here, the taste is not good, who is here?

There will be an overrun in everything, and the same is certainly true for the replacement of refined salts.

A thing that affects everyone's daily life, if you want to be accepted, you must hand it over to time.

At the same time that Chang'an City was selling refined salt, some trading places between Datang and other countries also began to sell refined salt.

These refined salts are all in the hands of the imperial court, so when trading refined salt with other countries, there are relatively few problems.
