Taihao Department came again, in addition to horses, there were a large number of cattle and sheep, Hun prisoners of war, and arrived in Yingxian, from Yingxian to Kaixuan Harbor, Zhuxia sent a famous scholar to meet, and was responsible for handing over the goods.

Zhu Xia never thought that Zhong Yi would come in person, and he was eating in the imperial study in the morning, and when he heard Zhong Yi asking to see him, he immediately agreed, and asked Xiao Guizi to meet him.

Zhong Yi had a vague smile, and as soon as he entered the door, the smile deepened, and he walked over quickly, saluting, but his eyes glanced at the bowl in Zhu Xia's hand: "Meet Han Hou, Han Hou is eating again?"

Zhu Xia said helplessly: "Tangyuan, sesame filling, there is still in the pot, do you want to eat some?"

That's right, sesame seeds and peppercorns, the highest priority list of Zhuxia ingredients, were found by the people of the Ministry of Intelligence - sesame, as for the peppercorns, it is estimated that they will have to go to Yizhou to find them, and they can find sesame seeds, which means that Zhuxia can eat rice balls during the New Year.

Of course, try it in advance to see if it's delicious and don't break the law, so as not to get it when it doesn't taste good and make the New Year unhappy. Zhu Xia will not admit that he is greedy.

With a notice, the two of them were eating rice balls around the small case, and Zhu Xia frowned: "Why do you always feel a little bit worse."

"It's not bad, it's delicious." Zhong Yi blew the hot air, took a bite of rice balls, and said casually.

"That's right! No sugar. How did you get the sugar, sucrose? Then you have to look for sugar cane, I remember there is sugar cane south of Stay Bay. Zhu Xia muttered as he ate.

"Sugar cane? What is that? ”

"I won't sue you."

“……”

At this time, the person asked for instructions, and the official who received the Taihao Department asked to see him.

"Probably for the cattle, sheep and prisoners of war." Zhong Yi said.

Zhu Xia glanced at Zhong Yi, summoned the family scholar in, the scholar entered, saluted Zhu Xia, and whispered to Zhu Xia for a moment after entering, and stood aside to wait for Zhu Xia's decision.

He Zhong Yi said correctly, the famous scholar who was responsible for receiving Taihao's envoys found that there were many more cattle and sheep, prisoners of war, and even wolves in this shipment, which was extremely inconsistent with Zhu Xia's instructions, and he didn't know how to decide, so he could only come to ask for help.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xia also looked at Zhong Yi in confusion.

"How bad is your memory, have you forgotten your Fushou ointment?" Zhong Yibai glanced at it, ate the remaining two rice balls and took a sip of soup, squinting comfortably to enjoy the warmth in the imperial study.

Zhu Xia suddenly realized and said, "I almost forgot." What about the excellent horse breeds? You should know that this thing is the most important thing, right? ”

"Brought two, Wusun horses, have you heard?" Zhong Yi raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xia.

"Usunma? I've heard of it, but that Wusun seems to be on the left side of the Huns, right? How did you get it? "Zhu Xia was a little surprised, it was quite far away.

"Captured on the battlefield, so it's not a stallion. Your blessed ointment is too harmful! The teacher used Fushou paste to secretly control the Xiongnu by many tribes, making them defect to the battle, and the Xiongnu couldn't resist it and pulled Wusun in. Zhong Yi's tone was full of shock.

"Is it a mare?" This is what Zhu Xia is most concerned about.

"One male and one female." Zhong Yi shrugged.

“…… In this case, he had to find a way to expand his population and then breed it, but unfortunately the Don hippo was too far away! Difficult. ”

"What kind of horse is the Don hippopotamus?" Zhong Yi was even more at a loss, how could he say that he had also been in the Taihao Department for more than a year, and he still had some knowledge of horse breeds, why didn't he understand what Zhu Xia said today?

The excellent horse breed of later generations, the Ili horse, was dominated by the Wusun horse, and was mixed with the Russian Orlov, Don, Budyonny and Turkmenistan's Kha. It is a new breed of multiplication and pull that is bred into the first and second generations of hybrid horses by crosscrossing and fixing through crossbreeding and long-term grazing management conditions.

It not only maintains the advantages of Kazakh horses that are cold-tolerant, resistant to rough feeding, strong disease resistance, and adaptable to herd conditions, but also absorbs the excellent structure and performance of the above-mentioned high-quality horses.

After the 60s of the 20th century, the breeding of Ili horses was mainly based on Don hippos. Among the Ili horses, the blood of the Don hippopotamus reaches more than 50%.

With the current resources of the Han Kingdom, the Ili horse is estimated to be unable to get out, but a new kind of war horse can be bred, and at present, Zhuxia has Yanhu's stallion, Liaodong horse, Xiongnu horse, Wusun horse, and the most important Red Rabbit Rouge Beast.

With the existing horse breed in hand, we have bred a horse breed that is resistant to rough feeding and strong disease resistance, rather than the precious horse breed of Dawan horse, and try to reduce his breeding cost.

First of all, it is necessary to expand the Wusun horse to a stage that is sufficient to support the breeding of the Han Kingdom.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xia said with a smile: "Do you want to ask for Fushou paste again?" You should know that although he is harmful, he also has medical value, and what you give is not enough. ”

“…… Usunma? ”

"You know, every year I need to see at least 20 Wusun horses, preferably all mares, you can trade with Wusun privately, and there are Hun stallions, I want them, I can even pay extra." Zhu Xia's determination is there.

"Repeater?" As soon as he heard the extra thing, Zhong Yi's eyes lit up and blurted out.

“…… The ring head knife, the standard equipment of the Han army. ”

"Didn't you sell it to us?" Zhong Yi was puzzled, but immediately noticed the cattiness inside, and his eyes rolled and realized something: "You mean, they are different?"

"Yes, the standard ring-headed knife sold to you is a pile of scrap iron, a horse and a handle, and it is not the same price. This is for the sake of your own people. Zhu Xia's tone was resolute.

“…… Han Hou, you're not kind, are you? One horse, one handle, your subordinates have one handle, and this is your own people? How about 100 horses and I'll get you 10 at once? Zhong Yi didn't mind, Zhuxia asked for a price, and he paid it back on the spot.

"I said, no two prices, you can bring one back when you go back, think about it, this kind of knife is extremely harmful, only under the repeater." Zhu Xia's tone was resolute.

Zhong Yi was silent for a long time, put down the bowl that was gradually cooling in his hand, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "So, there is also a problem with Zajia?" They are all from the hands of Hanhou you, and they must be extraordinary, how much is the price? ”

"Not for sale." Zhu Xia never thought that Zhong Yi would be so keen, and he refused after a deep groaning, he didn't even give the Eight Banners, how could he give it to Zhong Yi's Taihao Department.

"Sure enough! One set, give me teacher, you don't want him to have an accident on the battlefield, do you? Han still needs him, and I don't have the ability to replace the teacher and become the new spiritual pillar of those Hu people. Zhong Yi's expression was more serious than ever.

The two stared at each other tightly, their eyes piercing each other like swords.
