As Gao Hu expected, a few days later, the two of them really received an invitation from Fu Guang, inviting them to watch the horse race.

Gao and Fu didn't dare to slack off, hurried out of the inn, and went straight to the racecourse after a little inquiry.

Guzang was really prosperous, and along the way, the two saw many shops.

What surprised them even more was that many of them were opened by 'Hu people'.

When another 'Hu Ren' shop appeared in front of him, Gao Hu couldn't help but be curious anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to find out.

After talking with these 'Hu Ren' shopkeepers, it dawned on him that they were all naturalized Hu people.

Although some Hu people do not speak Chinese smoothly and have obvious Hu sounds, they all regard themselves as Han Chinese and are very disgusted by outsiders calling them Hu people.

He even expressed great anger at Gao Hu's inquiry into their past, and repeatedly emphasized to the two that they were Han Chinese.

Later, Gao Hu realized that the reason for the current situation was because of the continuous implementation of Sinicization education in Hexi for several years.

Most of the Hu shopkeepers are from Shuofang, and after nearly four years of Sinicization education, the Shuofang Qiang Hu people have long abandoned their previous ethnic groups and began to be proud of the Han people.

After a long time, Gao Hucai sighed faintly and said: "Dadu Hu is worthy of being a hero who overpowers the north, and just turning razing into a summer strategy is enough to make Hexi stronger and stronger." ”

Fu Mo didn't answer, but walked forward with a blushing face, because he also saw that many of them were Di people.

He can figure it out with his toes, I'm afraid that the hundreds of thousands of Di people living in Longyou are also the same as the Qianghu people, who have received a Sinicization education.

No wonder Fu Guang is honest like a sick cat, if it is him, without the support of the tribesmen, it is estimated that he will be more honest.

This young Wei Daduhu, isn't it really heavenly? Otherwise, why does Step by Step always poke at Hu Ren's soft underbelly?

Unlike Fu Guang's dull mood, Gao Hu couldn't help but be excited when he saw that Zhu Hu recognized the identity of the Han people from the bottom of his heart.

As a traditional Confucian student, he naturally hopes to use the inclusiveness of Chinese culture to educate and influence the Hu people, so that they can get rid of barbarism and progress into civilized people.

It's a pity that the reality of the past gave them a slap in the face, and those Hulu only recognize swords and guns, and don't care about Confucian culture at all.

Only a few enlightened people, such as Tuoba Jue, Murong Hao, Fu Jian, etc., will worship Han culture and even use it to govern the country.

Most Hu rulers, such as Murong Chui, Shi Le, Shi Hu, etc., believed in force and revered scholars as nothing more than a means they used to decorate their façade.

Due to some delays on the road, when Gao and Fu arrived, Fu Guang and his nephew Fu Chong were already impatiently waiting.

Fu Chong didn't even look at Gao and Fu, he raised his hand at Fu Guang, and said impatiently: "Uncle, it's okay for the little nephew to go in first, Li Yu and Yang Ying are all in a hurry." ”

"Aren't you going to see your aunt?" Fu Guang didn't care to greet Gao Hu and Fu Mo, and shouted at Fu Chong.

"When the horse race is over, I'll go to see my aunt."

Fu Chong replied, waving his right hand and walking towards the arena without looking back.

Fu Guang looked at Gao and Fu with some embarrassment, originally he wanted Fu Chong to visit Princess Dongping, so that he could take the opportunity to meet Dadu Guard Shuo.

Unexpectedly, Fu Chong was bent on playing with the 'fox friends and dog friends', which made his abacus fall through.

"This ...... This, that's my nephew Fu Chong, who is not at home all day long, and doesn't study all day, so he knows that cockfighting is a lackey. ”

Fu Guang first lost a few words of Fu Chong, and then his voice changed, and he said: "However, don't say it, this kid has a lot of friends and a wide path." ”

"He knows all the sons of the Li Dudu family, the son of the Song Changshi family, Xiao Langjun, Yang Tingshi, etc."

"Oh, I see, then dare to ask Li Yu?" Gao Hu asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Li Yu, he is the seventh son of Li Wei, the current governor of Shuozhou, and that Yang Ying, that is the only son of Yang Han and Boss Yang."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it here, let's go into the box and talk again."

Saying that, Fu Guang pulled Gao Hu and Fu Mo into the racecourse, and as soon as they passed the ticket gate, they were shocked.

Thanks to the use of new building materials and technical methods such as cement and concrete, the racecourse presents a completely different style from traditional buildings.

The huge grandstand with cement and steel as the main body has a total of 10,000 seats, and the inside of the grandstand is set up with a special façade for catering and accepting betting horses.

This racecourse like no other has been a cult favourite since its inception.

At the beginning of each horse race, from the wealthy and powerful, down to the farmers, businessmen, and ordinary people, all gather in the venue.

Many people almost broke their heads in order to compete for tickets.

Today, the racecourse was more lively than ever, because in the huge luxury box in the middle of the stands, Megatron's Grand Protector was sitting inside, drinking tea and chatting with a group of henchmen.

Daduhu is a busy man, not everyone can see him, and he is not free all day, and he can also go to the racecourse to watch the race.

Therefore, those wealthy merchants and families who had already received the information have chartered all the nearby boxes.

In order to see the dignity of Dadu Hu, if you are lucky enough to say a word or two with Dadu Hu, it will be even more amazing.

"Most of the protectors are really unpredictable, nearly 10,000 people gathered together, just shouting crazy for a few horses!"

Gao and Fu watched the horse race for the first time, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the warm atmosphere at the scene.

Hearing this, Fu Guang shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Maybe the two of you don't believe it, the reason why Dadu Hu built this racecourse is to find a place for the children of the family. ”

"Really? Fake? Gao Hu and Fu Mo were dumbfounded, unable to believe what Fu Guang said.

"Of course it's true, everyone in Hexi knows about it."

"It's just that to everyone's surprise, as soon as the horse racing competition was launched, it was immediately enthusiastically sought after by the children of the family."

"For the children of the family, a good horse is not only a status symbol, but also brings them honor and wealth."

"Unlike Keju, which is a popular sport that can be enjoyed by all the poor, horse racing is only suitable for wealthy businessmen."

"Although the children of the common people can also bet on horses, if they really want to buy a good horse to compete, it is beyond their means."

"It is precisely because of the niche nature of horse racing that it has aroused the crazy pursuit of the children of the family as soon as it appears."

"In the eyes of many children of the family, horse racing is an aristocratic sport, and it should be enjoyed by them."

"Speaking of which, I would like to remind you two that if you want to win the favor of Hexi people as soon as possible, you had better know how to race."

"In addition, it was beyond many people's expectations."

"After the world of horse racing, the price of good horses rose again and again, which greatly promoted the development of good horse breeding in Hexi."

Fu Guang said it lightly, but Gao Hu was like thunder in his ears.

He didn't believe that the Metropolitan Protector would build a racecourse for the sake of the children's play.

If his expectations are good, it must be that most of the guards have the intention to promote the breeding of good horses, but they have not received a response from all families.

After all, except for the fact that the Hu people naturally like to raise horses, most families are not interested in breeding good horses at all.

As a last resort, most of the guards came up with the idea of using the promotion of horse racing to induce the family to take the initiative to breed fine horses.

For cavalry, excellent breeds of war horses will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of cavalry.

In the future, once Hexi has enough excellent war horses, who else will be able to stop Dadu from dominating the world?

"Two, you stay in the box first, and then go down and come back."

Fu Guang walked out of his own box, and ran towards the most conspicuous box in the middle.

There are quite a few guards patrolling along the way, and the closer you get to the box, the stricter the inspection.

Don't look at Fu Guang as the second brother-in-law of the capital, he has to be searched by the guards, otherwise he doesn't want to get close to the box.

At this time, the official competition has not yet begun, and various equestrian performances are taking place in the venue.

More than a dozen skilled riders performed dressage on the middle of the track, and their gorgeous performances drew cheers from the spectators in the stands.

Gao Hu and Fu Mo had only seen the spectacular scene of ten thousand horses galloping before, where had they ever seen the war horses walking with dexterity and vigor?

Seeing the scene in front of them, even Fu Mo and Gao Hu couldn't help but want a good horse to play.

"Dadu Hu is really a genius, as long as the horse racing competition does not decline, there will never be a shortage of good horses in Hexi in the future."

When Gao Hu and Fu Mo were enjoying the equestrian performance with mixed feelings, Fu Guang finally met Wei Shuo with great effort.
