"Like you twelve gods?"
Angelica nodded and said, "That's the case, it's just that we picked it up from the master." ”
Qiao Lixi motioned for Angelica to continue.
"The soldiers of the Shen family army are in the hands of the master, so the master is the nominal Shen Yi, and the latter ones are ranked down one by one according to their positions."
Qiao Yixi was immediately happy.
Sure enough, as she thought, whoever is in charge of the Shen family army is Shen Da.
Then, Angelica introduced the camp, "Miss, the place where we are currently located is the core camp of the Shen family's army, and the generals live there, and the soldiers are on the other side, close to the playground. As you can see, the environment here is similar to that of southern Xinjiang, so it is very suitable for us to practice, and the newly recruited soldiers, if time permits, will also train in Shuzhou for a period of time, and then send them to southern Xinjiang. ”
Qiao Lixi understood that the newly recruited soldiers mentioned by Angelica were the Shen family army in a broad sense.
Of course, these people's drills are somewhere else in Jincheng, and in short, they won't be near the camp.
"The horse farm is very close to the camp, a mile away, and it is managed by other people, all of whom are very experienced horse breeders. The slave maid said that it was no exaggeration to say that the war horse of the Shen family army could be said to be the best war horse of the dynasty. ”
When it comes to Shen Jiajun, when it comes to everything about Shen Jiajun, Angelica's sense of honor arises spontaneously.
"There is one thing I don't understand," Qiao Lixi asked, "If the war horses of the Shen family army are provided to southern Xinjiang, the geographical environment of southern Xinjiang is not suitable for fighting on horseback. ”
"That's right, miss," Angelica explained, "the geographical environment of southern Xinjiang is not suitable for fighting on horseback, but the use of war horses is not only on the battlefield, but also in other places, and the imperial dynasty is not only a battlefield in southern Xinjiang, our war horses can be sold to the old emperor, after all, we are also one of the horse merchants, but the old emperor does not know." ”
Angelica looks like it's cheap and good.
Qiao Yixi immediately understood what she meant.
Although the old emperor had the name of the horse merchant in his hand, he was also very cautious, and even these horse merchants were personally selected by the old emperor and given the rights, but this did not affect the mutual cooperation between the horse merchants.
If, among these horse merchants personally appointed by the old emperor, there are people from the Marquis of Zhenyuan, then the war horses here will be useful.
This is not a cheating, the war horses are all supplied to the imperial army, and the life safety of the imperial generals is also a guarantee, and it also increases the income of the Zhenyuan Hou Horse Farm, more military funds, and also makes the horse breeders familiar with the business, practice makes perfect, and cultivate more excellent war horses.
On the Shen Jiajun side, he must keep some of the better war horses for his own use, and he must resist external troubles, but he can't help but guard against internal troubles.
At lunchtime, before the cafeteria opened, Shen Er came.
The canteen of the camp is very large, and the place where the food is served is a temporary shed, which only covers a piece of the overhead, and everyone eats food, and goes to their own group to eat.
Because of Qiao Lixi's arrival, everyone was very excited, and the eyes that looked at Qiao Lixi were not only excited, but also adoring from nowhere.
Qiao Yixi knew that this worship came from Gu Jinzhen, and when everyone saw her, it was like seeing Gu Jinzhen and Zhenyuanhou.
It's not that she can be compared to the two, it's because she is the closest person to Gu Jinzhen and Zhenyuanhou, these people love the house and Wu, and when they see her, it's like seeing Gu Jinzhen and Zhenyuanhou, so they are so excited.
"Madam, please rest assured, the Hou Ye and the general have never treated us badly, although we are far away from the crowd here, our food, clothing, housing and transportation are excellent, even better than ordinary people." Shen Er was afraid that Qiao Yixi would misunderstand, thinking that because of her arrival, the soldiers had meat for food, so he explained.
Qiao Yixi nodded, "These vegetables are all grown by yourself?" ”
"We grow our own and basically meet our needs, including some poultry, which we also feed ourselves. However, every three months, Zhuangzi will send vegetables, fruits and meat up, so he has never treated everyone badly when it comes to eating. The clothes of each quarter are also distributed on time, some of which are fought for by the marquis in the court, and some are made by the logistics department. “
"Logistics?" Qiao Yixi heard rare words.
Shen Er explained: "The logistics department is spontaneously organized by the widows or orphans of soldiers, and the Hou Ye pays by piece, which not only ensures the livelihood of this part of the people, but also ensures the military needs of the soldiers. ”
At this point, Qiao Lixi admired the ability of Marquis Zhen Yuan.
Those disabled soldiers who had retired from the battlefield and had no way out were placed in various places, either engaged in farming on the Zhuangzi, or in the arsenal, or in other places to exert their surplus energy.
Qiao Lixi still remembers the mountain keeper on Xiangshan, the stone tablet engraved with the war spirit of the dynasty is a belief of the people of the dynasty.
Qiao Lixi didn't know what the excitement that suddenly rose in her heart was called, but she felt that the breath was beating heavily on her heart like a war drum, and she was eager to try!
After the meal, Qiao Yixi comforted the generals, looking at the children who were not much older than her, with a solemn expression.
It is these people who defend the people of the dynasty, and it is these people who guard the territory of the dynasty!
She really couldn't understand that in the eyes of the old emperor, the substantive rights on the throne were more important than the lives of these soldiers.
She is not an ancient person with imperial power, nor is she an ambitious man, so she doesn't understand those people's pursuit of power, the demon who can sacrifice everything.
In the eyes of the old emperor and others, the existence of the people of the dynasty is for him, he is the Son of Heaven, exercising the right given by God, he gives these people wealth and stability, these people must use white bones to build a ladder and send him to the highest position.
In front of this group of people, Qiao Yixi didn't know what to say.
There are thousands of words she knows, but she can't match a word that can express her mood anyway.
She can only face these people with the most solemn expression and the most admiring mood.
When she arrived at the racecourse, Qiao Lixi's mood had not yet calmed down.
"Ma'am, this is the horse farm."
Walking through the camp, Qiao Yixi followed Shen Er for a while, and after passing a few sentry posts and a barren land, he came to a relatively flat place.
The people of the horse farm have been waiting there for a long time.
Qiao Lixi took a cursory glance and listened to Shen Er's introduction, only to know that among these people, there are those who are responsible for taking care of the daily life of the war horses, those who are responsible for training the war horses, and the veterinarians.
Don't underestimate the care of the war horses.
Like people, the eating, drinking, and lazing of these war horses is a very tedious matter, and in the jokes of the people here, bathing the horses is not an easy job.
The horse farm is so big, Qiao Lixi can't imagine it, and she feels even more incredible - on the mountain on the outskirts of Jincheng, there is such a flat place.
In the end, it was the people at the horse farm who explained her doubts, and she realized that this place had been processed to have the current topography and scale.
Therefore, the prestige and ability of the Shen family army was not achieved overnight, it was the dedication and efforts of countless people who created the current Shen family army, and it was the support and dedication of the people of the dynasty that enabled the Shen family army to be passed on from generation to generation!
The norms of the horse farm made Qiao Yixi dumbfounded, and it was her contempt for the ancients that limited her imagination.
After staying in the camp for one night, Qiao Lixi and Angelica went down the mountain from another road, but unlike going up the mountain, this time Qiao Lixi had an extra black horse by his side.
Qiao Lixi, who has no research on horses, can also see the difference between this horse, and the little cognition that was temporarily instilled in the horse farm let her know that this horse is the best among the war horses, whether it is posture, ability or IQ, it is the best among the same batch of war horses, and the person responsible for training this war horse proudly said to Qiao Lixi that at present, only General Gu's war horse can compete with this one.
I thought it would be not easy to let the war horse walk the mountain road, but I didn't want the war horse to walk more steadily than Qiao Yixi, except for the little arrogance that was occasionally revealed, the war horse was very docile throughout the whole process.
Qiao Yixi knew that this was just an illusion.
The more capable he is, the more rebellious he is.
"Miss." Astragalus and wolfberry are already waiting at the foot of the mountain.
I don't know how the mountain road is detoured, they obviously went down the mountain from another road, and they also walked in different places in the middle, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, it was the place where they broke up with the two maids yesterday.
After getting into the carriage, Qiao Yixi didn't forget to look back.
I don't know if there is also blood suppression between species, she feels that the two horses pulling the carriage seem to be afraid of something, and they are more docile than usual.
The carriage drove slowly, and the war horses crowded in front for a while, and hung in the back for a while, always following Qiao Lixi's side.
This person Qiao Lixi became more and more novel.
"Miss." Angelica was behind Qiao Lixi and called in a low voice.
Qiao Yixi raised her eyelids.
"They're in."
So impatient?
Qiao Lixi raised her eyebrows.
Entering the city, there are more curious people.
It is really that the war horse is majestic, and the nobility between the "gestures" cannot withstand concealment, and it is naturally revealed, as long as it is not blind, it will be seen.
Although everyone didn't show it, they all had a guess in their hearts about the origin of the war horse.
This is the pride of Jincheng and the people of Shuzhou, it's too late to be proud, how can you think so much?
After Qiao Yixi returned to Gufu, he immediately mobilized a large amount of money, a large amount, involving all the properties of Changfang.
The strangest thing is that Qiao Yixi mobilized funds and did the accounts, but kept silent about the flow of funds.
Outsiders are naturally strange.
The business of Qiao's family's house is so big, and Qiao Lixi withdrew the funds, which affected not only the Qiao family's own business, but also other merchants.
Although they knew that Qiao Xingbang was very honest in business and would not owe them money, if Qiao Xingbang did not continue to invest, there would be errors in their control of the trend of Jincheng's economic development, which would damage their interests.
The anxiety of outsiders, Qiao Lixi had no time to take care of it, she looked at the secret letter sent by Angelica, and a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
"They're moving fast."
Angelica looked disdainful, "I thought that I would be able to find the mountain gate in this way, it's not that the slaves and maids look down on them, with their IQ, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life." ”
