"Oh! It's so fresh! ”

The fish was still in his mouth, and Liu Mang praised it.

"Pingzhong, you're a good fisherman! The fish is fatty and well-cooked, and it has the taste of private dishes. ”

"What's the private dish?" Wan'er is curious.

"Private cuisine is the specialty dish made by a special chef."

"Oh, Tongfuyi is a professional chef, but, the dishes are ......" Wan'er stuck out her tongue, she was really tired of eating.

Liu Mang smiled. "Another point, private cuisine usually refers to cooking at home, and Tongfuyi is a place where passing or staying guests eat, so it is not considered a private dish."

Wan'er stared at Liu Mang and let out a soft "oh".

Liu Mang continued: "Private dishes, the materials are also very particular, only fish like Zhao Yuze can make an authentic taste. Speaking of this, Liu Mang asked casually: "Pingzhong, Zhao Yuze's fish, in addition to catching on time and at a fixed footage, do you have any tricks?" ”

"I don't know the trick. Just follow the way of heaven and do it according to the laws of the Han Dynasty? At first, the villagers were also dissatisfied, because of the regular inspection, the collection of fines, and my name is 'quasi', so I was nicknamed 'punctual punishment'. ”

"Ping Zhong has been wronged."

Kou Zhun smiled very happily: "It's nothing, the villagers often say 'punctual punishment', and when you go into the water to fish, it's not easy to break the ban." I'm used to it, so I made a card to remind everyone. ”

After everyone laughed, Kou Zhun continued: "After a long time, the villagers are used to it. When they get used to it, it's easy to do it. ”

Li Hongzhang nodded. "yes. Timing and setting the ruler is a long-term plan, and after a long time, the people will slowly get benefits and live a stable life, and there will be no more objections. ”

Kou Zhun nodded at Li Hongzhang. "Yes, in the past, I used to control the villagers to go into the water to fish, and the villagers hated 'punctual punishment';

"Haha, yes, yes, the people have enthusiasm, and the officials will be good." Liu Mang picked up the wine bottle, and was just about to take a sip of wine to Kou Zhun, when his eyes suddenly lit up. "Huh? Let's raise horses, can we refer to the way of Zhaoyu Fishery Administration? ”

All of you here are smart people.

Wan'er raised her eyebrows, "uh", and remembered that Liu Mang said that she didn't like women to participate in military and political affairs, so she swallowed back the following words.

Kou Zhun reacted quickly enough, stood up, and said happily: "Follow Wenjing, the officials and horses are raised!" Let the people go to the herding of military horses, and the people are naturally willing to go to the bottom of the mountain to settle down, graze horses, and beware of wolves! ”

Liu Mang is mature and cautious. "Are the officials and horses raised by the people, and the rules of the imperial court?"

Li Hongzhang nodded and replied: "The officials and horses have been raised by the people, starting from Emperor Wenjing. The 'Resumption of Horse Order' stipulates that the people can exempt three people from forced labor if they raise a war horse, which opened the prosperity of the Han Dynasty's horse politics, and only then did Emperor Wu use 100,000 horses to conquer the Xiongnu, and used 1.2 million war horses before and after. ”

"One million and two million? Forehead drop God! ”

Liu Mang unconsciously paraphrased Tong Xiangyu's lines, and Wan'er couldn't help laughing.

Liu Mang is envious from the bottom of his heart! Not to mention 1,200,000 horses, if there were 1,200 good horses now, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep.

"There is a precedent for Emperor Wenjing, let's do the same!"

Li Hongzhang was thoughtful and said: "However, the farmers in the state are not good at raising horses. ”

This is indeed a big problem, horses are not well raised, and they are prone to illness. Even if there is no major epidemic, the horses raised by ordinary farmers may not be able to meet the requirements of military horses.

Liu Mang asked Man Gui: "Old Man, can those brothers under your command raise horses?" ”

Man Gui nodded regretfully. "Riding a horse is not the same as raising a horse, they are only good at riding, not raising horses."

Kou Zhun, who was still very excited just now, also sat down. "Yes, large-scale horse breeding, in addition to preventing jackals and beasts, but also to prevent epidemics?"

The atmosphere in the room had just come alive, and it was cold again.

"Eat fish!" Liu Mang took a large piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it very fragrantly.

"The government and the people are raised, the ideas are excellent, we have gained a lot, and there will always be a way to solve other problems. We are only researching now, and there are no war horses to raise, so you don't have to be depressed, as long as you think about it seriously, you will always find a solution. Eat Fish Eat Fish! ”

……

Liu Mang encouraged everyone, but in his own heart, he was always worried about raising horses.

The feast was dispersed and he returned to the inn. Liu Mang and Man Gui agreed that they would go to see the selected horse farm tomorrow before returning to their room.

Sit in front of a few desks, brace your cheeks and ponder.

Wan'er took a bowl of hot water, walked over gently, and offered it to Liu Mang.

"I really want to cook private food for the young master, but I feel so stupid, it must be difficult to eat."

"If Wan'er is stupid, there will be no smart people in the world." Liu Mang patted Wan'er's hand lightly, "You are at the table, do you have something to say?" ”

"Well, but the young master reminded me that women can't talk about military politics in public."

"Not bad." Liu Mang nodded approvingly, "There are no outsiders now, let's talk about it." ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded very solemnly, and knelt down opposite Liu Mang. "The young master talked about the matter of the people raising officials and horses, and Wan'er had an idea. In Mobei, official horses have always been raised by the people, and they are not as complicated and difficult as imagined. ”

"The Hu people are different from the Han people, they are herding, and raising horses is as simple for them as the Han people are farming."

Wan'er hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled. "yes. The Han people are good at farming, but not good at raising horses, so why didn't the young master find Hu people to raise military horses? ”

"Huh? Huh......" Liu Mang twisted his eyebrows and was surprised, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Yes! You can recruit Hu people to raise horses! ”

The subordinates have a strong national concept, and it is not easy to think of this layer, but Liu Mang does not have this prejudice.

Shangguan Wan'er, who had lived in the Xiongnu region, had no prejudice, and was familiar with the life of the Xiongnu, so he had the idea of attracting Hu people to raise horses in the place where the Han people lived.

Liu Mang immediately had his spirits, leaned over and asked: "Tell me quickly, where can I recruit Hu people who are good at raising horses?" ”

"Southern Huns!"

The Southern Xiongnu mentioned by Wan'er is relative to the Northern Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu lived in Mobei for a long time, and in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han court conquered the Xiongnu several times, and the Han-Huns fought constantly. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were in civil strife and split into the northern and southern Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu in the north and south fought and made peace, and in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were divided again.

Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains had just quelled the war, unable to conquer the Xiongnu, so he united with the Southern Xiongnu to jointly fight against the Northern Xiongnu.

The Northern Xiongnu were expelled, and the Southern Xiongnu were sponsored by the Han court and allowed to live as nomads in the Yellow River loop in the Han territory.

Although there were occasional conflicts between the Southern Xiongnu and the Han court, on the whole, the Southern Xiongnu were still close to the Han Dynasty.

The Southern Xiongnu embraced a lot of the Central Plains culture, the nomadic places were more stable, and the commercial trade between the Han and the Hungarians has always been prosperous.

"That's right! Wan'er is so smart! ”
