Chapter 448: Various Advantages
Dong Ce smiled, asked people to bring Traceless, and handed it over to Fang Shuwei before reminding: "Traceless has long been castrated and is easy to tame, but you'd better feed some horse material and go to the side for a test ride." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"How can these Wei'er not know, Celang don't worry." Fang Shuwei said, and took the reins from one of the attendants with great interest, and walked to the material room without a trace.
Dong Ce said to Huang Zhongqin: "Horses with pure blood are the best, random hybridization will only make them inferior to the next generation, no trace is hopeless, the little white dragon can be considered, but it is best to introduce more foals from the Western Regions, if you can know that its paternal maternal line is the best, when they give birth to foals, don't rush to raise them for a few years and slowly observe, whether it is head height, shoulder height, body length, leg length, coat color, weight, habits, etc., must be recorded in detail, of course, speed and endurance are the most important, Pick out the best ones as stallions. ”
"But we're just a racetrack, and if we do that, we're a racecourse!" Huang Zhongqin said worriedly.
He's worried about the place! In fact, this is not suitable for raising horses, not that it can't be raised, but it can't be raised on a large scale, according to Dong Ce's words, its investment is not small, he naturally wants to be cautious!
"We don't have to do it, we can go to the northwest to find some horse owners to cooperate, we provide manpower, they provide famous horses, which is also beneficial to the future of the horse farm, and there is no need to send money to the merchants."
"Well, the national teacher is right, we not only race horses here, but also sell horses, and we do need many fine horses." Huang Zhongqin thought about it, so he discussed it with Dong Ce again.
When the two were discussing, Fang Shuwei had already ridden all the way down the slope to the river beach without a trace, galloping quickly.
"The Traceless rider seems to have changed?" On the other side of the track, several rich sons looked at Fang Shuwei running on the river beach below.
"Whatever, I said Brother Wang, you have four games in a row, even if people are not tired, the horse should be tired, it is better to give up the No. 11 position to the younger brother." A rich son looked at the prince of the Wang family and persuaded.
"Don't think!" The prince of the Wang family snorted coldly and said, "In the next game, I must win the first place!" ”
"Alas, you, you really don't want to die without the heart of the Yellow River...... Well? The rich boy was stunned after speaking, glanced at the surging river in the distance, and finally smiled bitterly, and walked towards the few sons next to him, and said at the same time: "Alas, Brother Li, when will your No. 10 position be given to the younger brother to try?" Anyway, you can't win, you can't even get into the top three......"
Before this person finished speaking, the son surnamed Li immediately said angrily: "Get out!" ”
The boy was suddenly annoyed and angry, and snorted coldly: "Four games in a row, all of them won the racecourse, but you have lost all the face of our Luoyang Junshe, and you are embarrassed to occupy the pit and not, if you let me go, I will guarantee to win the championship in one fell swoop!" ”
His words, immediately made many rich sons blush, Luoyang Jun Society is a local horse lover formed by the formation of exchanges, such as the Song Dynasty Keju Society, often organize competitions, but their races are in the suburbs, choose a finish point at random to start, there is nothing to say is informal, the picture is a happy.
It's not that they can't be on the stage, but all along, when it comes to riding, they want to be called second, and absolutely no one dares to call them first, even if they are the disciples of the sect, they are slightly inferior to them.
But the appearance of the racetrack gave them a taste of shame for the first time!
Having said that, they don't hate the racecourse, because it's the real promotion of horse racing, and thousands of spectators are paying attention.
What I hate is that I hate myself for not being fully prepared! First, I didn't notice the costumes of the riders in the racecourse, and secondly, the research on the track was not thorough enough, don't look at it as just an elliptical track, and it was only three or four miles down in one lap, but twelve horses were killed at the same time, grabbing the road, competing for positions, and avoiding collisions, as well as the card positions they had just drawn before, which were very particular.
Those who are not skilled in riding do not dare to play at all.
But they all thought that their riding skills were exquisite, but the result was deflated again and again!
"Brother Li, Brother Fu, Brother Liang, I think we can join forces!" The prince of the Wang family suddenly said to the other three sons who participated in the next round of the event.
"Oh, join forces! How to join forces? The Liang family frowned.
"After you rush out, you have to help me jam the traceless, white hoof, and black shadow no matter what, and I will win, and it will be my turn to help you when you turn back!"
"Go, go, go." The son of the Li family pursed his lips and said, "What does that mean?" ”
"Yes, besides, there are probably three or four thousand people in the stands, among which there must be fewer connoisseurs, you are not ashamed, I can't afford to lose this face!" The son of the Liang family also shook his head again and again.
The prince of the Wang family is helpless, he really wants to win!
"Childe, the old man thinks that such little tricks are not of much use, the main thing is riding, and according to the old man's observation, the riders in the horse farm are very good at whipping horse racing!"
"Oh! I don't know ......" The prince of the Wang family immediately looked at the master who had taught him riding skills.
"The old man found that every time the traceless rider whipped, the traceless would suddenly increase his speed, and he used this method to suddenly rush to the first place when entering and exiting the corner!"
The prince of the Wang family was taken aback and said, "Does this mean that sudden pain is more beneficial to track horse racing than continuous pain?" ”
"Yes, if you eat too much pain, you will get used to it!" The old man smiled bitterly.
The prince of the Wang family immediately fell into contemplation, but he knew that although there was indeed this reason, it was not big, when it really came to the charge, it was better to beat the horse continuously, but at the same time, it was more inhumane, in Dong Ce's previous life, he would be banned if he played too much!
And the gap between the prince of the Wang family and the horse farm rider is not only the track, but also the horse, don't look at his horse can run thirty or fifty miles casually, but at full speed sprint, it is extremely depleting of the horse's physical strength, and after running today, it must be let rest in the next few days, but can not abandon the daily training, but from the training, slowly improve to the peak.
Although the prince of the Wang family is also aware of this, but it is not enough, he only prepared two horses, the first two he used a white horse with black spots, but the results were not good, so he immediately replaced with a thousand blood, although the results came up, but he was never able to win the first, and he still wanted to race at the moment, undoubtedly asking for his own hardship.
The post-match period is the busiest time for gamblers to start discussing the next winner!
The odds, as the amount continues to change, the most shocking thing is that although Remnant Yang ran the penultimate in the fourth game, the odds still rose, and it has reached the terrifying point of one loss of ninety-two!
It's just that no one will think about it, after all, there is no shortage of people and horses in four consecutive races, and if you continue to participate in the fifth race, the consequences can be imagined!
In fact, Remnant Yang should have been replaced a long time ago, but in order to reflect the shocking effect of the odds, Dong Ce could only let it continue to play, and after today, all participating horses could not exceed three times a day in the future.
Of course, he can't take care of the rich son.
When half an hour passed and preparations for the fifth game began, the gamblers were returning to the stands one after another, and there seemed to be more people than before.
Dong Ce looked at the records of the carriage that picked up and dropped off the guests in the stilt building, and learned that from morning to now, a total of 3,400 people have been received, which is undoubtedly an exciting number!
But Dong Ce frowned and said, "The three hundred carriages we prepared don't seem to be enough." ”
"It's not enough!" Huang Zhongqin almost wanted to vomit blood after hearing this, you said that it was nothing to use these carriages to pick up guests and collect some money, but it didn't cost anything, oh my God, Huang Zhongqin really wanted to vomit blood!
"I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, and then add it to five hundred, however, the two hundred cars added in can't be free, and it can't be under the sign of our racecourse, you go to set up a post station, only responsible for picking up Luoyang City to the racecourse This road, if it's just a guest, charter a car for 100 Wen, two people can be 50 for one person, and three people will add to 150 Wen, so that there will be 500 Wen income for two trips back and forth a day, and we only take 20%, and the rest will be given to the coachman."
"But there's a free one, who's going to spend money?" Huang Zhongqin said depressedly, he suddenly wondered, is there water in the national teacher's brain?
"Try it, perhaps, there will be unexpected gains!" Dong Ce didn't explain much.
Huang Zhongqin was depressed, but he didn't object, but planned to hire a few coachmen to try it first, and it would not be too late to open a post station when it had an effect.
But Huang Zhongqin didn't expect that because of his decision, he lost a lot of money!
Because the person he was looking for was either doing it alone in the end, or ganging up, setting up a team to grab business, and completely shattering Huang Zhongqin's idea of preparing to be a post station.
Of course, this is a later story, although Huang Zhongqin regrets it, but it is far from the point where it is difficult to sleep, after all, the income of the horse farm is already extremely scary, and the post station is really a small profit for him!
The fifth horse race was about to start, and Dong Ce was about to go down from the stilt building to see how Fang Shuwei was preparing, but before going out, he seemed to think of something, turned his head to Huang Zhongqin and said, "By the way, the horseshoe does not meet my requirements, and the workmanship is too rough." ”
"This ......" Huang Zhongqin was really depressed, when he built the horse farm, he got a horseshoe from Dong Ce, this thing was the first time he saw it, and it really made him very serious, but at the same time, he was also very depressed, because Dong Ce said that the horseshoe he made was pressed out of a mold, and he couldn't use it, so he had to find a blacksmith to hammer it, but now the blacksmith has never touched this thing, and the workmanship is naturally rough for a while!
Nowadays, the Ning Dynasty did not have horseshoes, they used wool grass to wrap, and the better ones were leather, no matter which one, it was far inferior to the horseshoe.
This is one of the reasons why those rich boys can't win their horse farm!
"Ce Lang, if I lose......" Fang Shuwei is a heart at the moment!
"It's okay, let's go through the gateway first." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he let Fang Shuwei ride on the traceless, and then he personally led the reins to the back of the horse gate.
Dong Ce's horse gate is not as convenient as the post-modern one, although it is indeed divided into twelve seats, but there is no automatic gate, so it can only be used manually, and the door needs to be arranged for two people on both sides of the horse gate, lifting the bamboo pole tied to a row of gates, lifting from above.
To strengthen fairness to such an extent is also to leave nothing to say.
"Remember, as soon as the door opens, you just rush forward, but it doesn't mean you don't turn around!" Dong Ce's last reminder aroused Fang Shuwei's extreme dissatisfaction.
"Wei'er is not so stupid, Celang will look at it!" Fang Shuwei was provoked by Dong Ce, and seemed to forget all the nervousness.
With a gong, the gate opened instantly, and at the same time, all twelve horses rushed out, and in an instant, the stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers!
