"It was not until the fifth year of Shaoxing that the Tea and Horse Division resumed its proper function as a city horse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info until the fifteenth year of Shaoxing, Sichuan and Qin horses gradually on the right track, through the two main city horse farms, the Southern Song Dynasty can get about 5,000 high-quality horses from the northwest meandering area every year, which is a big deal. ”

After moving south, Guangxi Road basically belonged to the rear, and it was also the first city horse area to be valued and developed by the imperial court in the process of Ma Zheng's recovery. Guangxi City Horse gradually developed under the active management of the imperial court. Until the tenth year of Shaoxing, Guangxi Road was also able to steadily supply more than 1,500 southwest horses per year to the imperial court. ”

"During the Gaozong period, the imperial court successively established breeding and shepherding in the Raozhou, Lin'an and Zhenjiang armies, but the breeding and shepherding in the Raozhou and Zhenjiang armies existed for a short time. Xiaozong still had hope for the breeding of horses, but the Yangzhou prison set up in the early years of Longxing was abolished a year later, and the breeding prisons set up in Yingcheng and Jingnan during the Gandao period only lasted about three years. ”

Li Xiang knows that raising horses must be in a cold place in order to raise horses well. Horses can not be raised one by one, but in the long mountains and valleys, the land of sweet springs and beautiful grass, and the fertile fields of thousands of miles, they can be stocked in groups, and finally they can become the cavalry out of the fortress for long-distance pursuit.

"Liang Lao said that Sanduozhai is one of the most important places for tea and horses?" Li Xiang listened to a horse scripture, but he was still a little confused, who made him not a good student since he was a child.

Liang Lie glared at Li Xiang and said, "You kid is usually very smart, why are you pretending to be confused now." ”

Li Xiang was even more depressed, I was really confused, why did I pretend?

"What is your kid missing?" Liang Lie had no choice but to guide step by step.

"There is a shortage of people." Li Xiang was very distressed, now the total strength of Shaoxi Mansion is only 10,000, what can he do to fight with the Tartars? The imperial court will not support its own private army, and if it wants to be the king in the future, this army is still far from enough, even if it is equipped with advanced firearms in the future, in Li Xiang's view, it is impossible to survive in the gap between Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty without 180,000 horses.

Liang Lie was a little depressed and continued to ask, "What about the lack of people?" ”

"Lack of money." Li Xiang was even more depressed, having money can make the ghost grind, although he has engaged in a lot of industries, but because he started not long and the stall is large, the money that can be used as military salary is still not much.

"What else?" Liang Lie hates that iron can't become steel.

Li Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said shyly: "Lao Liang has a heart, Li Xiang is also this age, the lady has not yet married, if Liang Lao has a suitable ......"

"Stop, stop, stop." Liang Lie hurriedly interrupted Li Xiang's fantasy, and said with an unhappy expression: "What are you kid thinking?" ”

"Horses." Liang Lie raised his voice and said, "Lao Tzu has talked about horses one night, are you kid pretending to be confused?" ”

"You have a horse?" Li Xiang is happy, the Song Dynasty has always been short of horses, the Liao State has Mongolian horses, the Western Xia has Hequ horses, when the Song Dynasty and the Liao State fought, they exchanged markets with the Western Xia, imported Hequ horses, and when the Western Xia fought with the Liao State, imported Mongolian horses, if there was a war with both countries, they had to pray. Although there are Tubo horses in the Sichuan Gorge and Dali horses in Dali, the former is a plateau horse, these horses growing in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have adapted to the natural environment of high cold and low pressure, and will produce a lot of discomfort when they arrive in the plain, and the natural environment of high humidity and hot flashes in the plain will cause serious damage to the respiratory system of plateau horses; Although the latter has good stamina, he is short and can't beat the tall Hequ horses and Mongolian horses.

As for the history books of later generations, it is also said that the Great Song Dynasty did not die by people, but died by Ma Ye! To the first year of Huizong Daguan, there are divisions to count the number of horses given to the field, a total of 1,800 horses, of which Hebei West Road accounts for 1,400 horses, the number of other roads is very small, Hedong Road is only 9 horses, and Kaifeng Mansion, Jingxi South Road, Jingdong East Road has no horses. What to fight, just surrender and forget it.

Liang Lie shook his head and said, "The old man can't do tricks, where did he get the horse?" ”

"Old Liang," Li Xiang protested in his eyes: "Aren't you fooling me?" ”

"I said you kid, you're really lazy today," Liang Lie said angrily: "Didn't the old man just say that the Hu man from Sanduozhai from Enzhou said?" ”

"Oh." Li Xiang patted his brain, and Liang Lie was confused: "I don't know where that Hu man is now?" ”

"You want to meet?" Liang Lie quipped: "If you want to see you, you can say it, if you don't say it, how do you know that you want to see it, you say that you want to see me, I will definitely let you see it, and if you say you don't want to see me, I won't let you see it." ”

"Agoura has seen an adult." A bearded man with a short face and a high forehead and a high nose doesn't want to be a businessman no matter how he looks at it, but he looks like a thief's right-hand man, and he will shout out the reckless man with a big fist in a casserole.

But Li Xiang has a good cultivation, and he always pays attention to the improvement of his credibility. Hurriedly asked Agoura to sit down, and then said, "Why did Agoura come here this time?" ”

"My lord, please save the lives of the people of Sanduozhai," although Agula is a reckless man, he seems to understand the importance of the matter: "Agula, the owner of Sanduozhai, originally served the adults. ”

Deed of Sale? Li Xiang liked it the most, but in order to maintain the credibility that he had managed to get out of, he hurriedly helped up Agula and said, "You and I are destined to be brothers, why did Brother Agula say this?" Sanduozhai is the land of the city horse, where does Brother Agoura say this......"

"My lord," Agoura estimated that he had been guided by a lot of mistakes by the Han people, and he had to kneel down before he finished speaking, and the huge man was pitiful, and Li Xiang was also sad to see it.

"Brother Agoura, don't do this, don't do this, tell me what's going on?" Li Xiang hurriedly helped Agora up, and then asked his second brother Zhang Shun to take a pot of wine.

After finally coaxing Agoura to drink half a pot of wine, Agoura relaxed and said: "Last year, the Mongolian Tartars suddenly sent troops to Sanduozhai, and the defenders of Sanduozhai retreated without a fight. ”

"But Sanduozhai has no other source except for raising horses in the market, at the beginning, everyone was still a little lucky, secretly transported the horses out to buy, but soon, the Mongolian Tatar Shaanxi Provincial Marshal's Mansion in Sanduozhai often placed 100 households to assist the horse supervisor, and all the people were found to have violated the horse supervisor's orders were in the capital punishment."

"Many people in Sanduozhai can't help but flee, and the brothers who can stay don't believe that the Great Song Dynasty will recover Sanduozhai, but this hope looks getting slimmer and slimmer."

"Then why doesn't the court care?" Li Xiang asked curiously, you Agula is the boss of Sanduozhai, and you are the boss who ran far away to try your luck?

But then I thought that in the entire eight years of Xianchun, the ministers of the imperial court were revolving around the Sichuan campaign, and in such an inconspicuous small place as Sanduozhai, where did the imperial court still have the energy to manage so much, they had to ask for more blessings.
