Chapter 340: Make the best use of your talents
Shi Lei got so many Turkic slaves, there must be some other role, it is impossible to just do a hammer deal, simply as a cheap labor force to use, especially those who were originally born in the Golden Wolf Guard, or the Turkic elite of the sweat tent guard, only treat them as ordinary labor, isn't it a waste of nothing, blind their ability, some of them, but than the Shi family guards before the transformation, the top cavalry is even stronger, Shi Lei definitely can't do the thing of buying and returning pearls.

And in the future, Shi Lei must have some other arrangements for them, so as not to let them become white food at home. However, arranging for them to farm is obviously not very reliable. These guys, who are used to riding horses and archery, are obviously not very good at tending to the land, and it is a bit wasteful to do so.
Shi Lei has always believed in the principle of making the best use of people's talents and making the best use of things. At the beginning, Shi Lei was arranged to a suitable position for the homeless people, and the same was true for the eunuchs and palace maids who left the palace later.
Now they are all in their respective positions, they have become the main talents, and they are contributing to the prosperity of the Shi family, and they have now become indispensable and important members of the Shi family.
So for this batch of people from the grassland, Shi Lei must also have a suitable place to go.
There are so many big livestock under Shi Lei's hands, and Yazhou is still providing these resources in a steady stream, although there are also many herdsmen bought from the plateau to take care of them, but with the expansion of the herd, the original herds are a little stretched.
And if you want to replenish this part of the manpower from the plateau, not to mention the time and effort, it is not possible to get it in a short time, such a shepherd slave is also a sought-after commodity on the plateau, and if you want to get it back, the price you need to pay is slightly larger.
But now there are these Turkic slaves, these guys take care of cattle and horses, and they are all experts.
Moreover, the cost of buying Turkic slaves is also much lower, all of which are from the families of familiar nobles, so you can not only get a preferential price, but also leave a personal favor.
After all, like Shi Lei's family, there are only a few people who dare to use a large number of Turkic slaves, and most of them are still more worried that these people will become an unstable factor in the family.
On the contrary, if you start from the plateau, the cost of opening the pass is too high, and the nature of smuggling, at such a big risk, it must be more cost-effective to get more valuable items.
It is obviously not cost-effective to buy such things as slaves, and even the Shi family's caravans, even the purchase of large animals such as cattle and horses, have been suspended.
Because the entire Turkic homeland, and even the entire grassland, have now opened their doors to the Tang Dynasty. Not only is it less risky to go there, but the size of the herd is also larger. And with such a huge supply area, the price will definitely fall back.
Moreover, Shi Lei's family's reserves can definitely ensure the various needs of his family, even in the face of the most dangerous situation, the existing ones are enough, there is no need for this, and the plateau must be kept as an emergency channel.
Therefore, in any respect, there is no need to bring in animals from the plateau, and there are slaves who are not much higher than the status of animals.
Unless it is a war slave that Shi Lei values a lot, and it has to be a war slave with high ability, it is necessary to sacrifice a little benefit temporarily.
Not only is Yazhou, which is the rear of the Shi family, needs a lot of herdsmen, but Zhuangzi in Chang'an also has some needs.
It's okay to let the farmers take care of the cattle, but when it comes to taking care of the war horses, it is still somewhat inferior to these Turkic herdsmen who have been exposed to it since childhood.
Leaving professional things to professional people can be regarded as a kind of management wisdom, and it can also liberate the Shi family's farmers and devote them to positions that need them more.
Whoever let the Shi family's manpower have always been in a state of insufficiency. The Shi family has risen too fast, the foundation is not deep enough, and the development time is shorter, and the shortcomings in all aspects have to be filled, so this manpower has been in a state of overstretching.
Even the housekeeper uncle and several of them are responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and they are also busy every day, and they can't wait to break the eight petals by themselves, and the manpower below that focuses on work is naturally becoming more and more serious.
There is another place where they can use their professional skills, and it is naturally the main battlefield of this group of Turkic slaves, the racecourse that they themselves are trying to build.
This is the place where the level of professionalism is really reflected, and the Turks who can stay and work in such an important place in the end must be the best of the best. Choose those who have a high level of training and breeding horses, or who are particularly good at taming horses.
After all, in Shi Lei's imagination, it will not only be the horses of the Shi family who can come here to compete, but also some BMW in your family, which must require a group of professionals to take care of it.
can't be like the horses of the Shi family, after Shi Lei's transformation, they will all be managed extensively, and they can still have excellent performance on the battlefield or racecourse. If you can't come up with such a professional team, Shi Lei's horses are so excellent, it's a little too much to say.
And with such a team of experts who can handle it, coupled with the processes and precautions that Shi Lei came into contact with in later generations, and even the skills of horse racing beauty, it is at least easy to give people an unfathomable image, and it can also reduce a lot of inquiring eyes.
In the end, the real top talents among these Turks, those elite Turkic warriors who can graze with whips and replace their weapons with top cavalry, are the guys that Shi Lei really values the most.
And they have always been unruly, they are precisely the most difficult to manage a group of slaves for other nobles, and Shi Lei took over these hot potatoes, and they are all eager to do it.
These people go in different places, and they are probably the luckiest of the bunch, and they have the opportunity to return to the place where they were born and raised, to the savannah that many people miss so much.
Because Shi Lei got the news, the eldest grandson's family has begun to engage in products from the grassland, all kinds of dairy products, fur products, have been put on the shelves of his family, of course, it is still the high-end route that has always been taken.
As Shi Lei, who has always wanted to comprehensively curb the business development of his opponents and squeeze out their market share, he must not be left behind.
It just so happened that Shi Lei also had a fief on the grassland, and it was in the core area of the grassland, and the operable space in it was quite large.
These elite Turkic warriors, who do not occupy household registration, but can provide the greatest convenience for their own families and on the grassland, naturally become the best helpers.
They are so familiar with the environment and characters here, they can greatly reduce the adaptation time of their own family to enter here, deal with the surrounding relationships, and have more choices.
And after Shi Lei's transformation, they are definitely the top masters on the grassland, and it is rare to meet opponents. Although the number of people will not be very large, the force is definitely strong enough, and there are the surrounding Datang garrisons to rely on, it is more than enough to protect themselves, and a certain limit of territory expansion is enough.
Moreover, the team leader that Shi Lei assigned to them is also the guy who is the person in charge of the entire grassland direction in the future, and he is definitely strong enough, because Shi Lei chose Li Mu, who also made a name for himself on the grassland.
From the hands of the old people in the family, select a few big shopkeepers as assistants, and this team can be regarded as a combination of civil and military, which is enough to deal with all possible situations.
In addition, Shi Lei told Li Mu the contact information of the nails buried in the grassland, and sent this team to the grassland to create a situation, which was enough to be at ease.
Shi Lei definitely has reason to believe that these people will definitely be able to lay a big pasture on the grassland for their own family.
With the follow-up manpower in place one after another, the place that Shi Lei arranged for this group of Turkic slaves is gradually about to come to fruition. And Li Mu, who Shi Lei values the most, is the first to set off.
As long as the most thorny Turkic slaves were asked from each family, after trying their quality, after a comprehensive transformation, a group of loyal and strong cavalry was born, so the manpower here was the first to be selected.
Shi Lei felt that since his family was on the grassland and was already lagging behind the eldest grandson's family, it was better to make up for this gap as soon as possible.
The sooner Li Mu and the others set off, the sooner they would be able to catch up with the progress of the eldest grandson's family.
Of course, Li Mu and they did not set off blindly, accompanied by Shi Lei and Uncle Fan, and several of their senior staff, and formulated the development strategy together, so that they could transform the output of the grassland into tangible benefits as soon as possible while managing the grassland ranch.
