Chapter 931: Horse Farm!
~~~~~~
Although the stable structure of the horse farm is still somewhat simple, most of them are made of wood and supports, but its overall scale is quite grand, and there is no end in sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, although Badaru was the 'technical director' and main person in charge of the horse farm, the horse farm was still classified as a military property, and Badaru was also directly responsible for Li Yuanqing, and the other two deputies were both Li Yuanqing's two confidant officers from his own army.
The so-called 'Emperor's Technique' is no wonder that it is the Art of Balance.
It is necessary to let all sides check each other and not reach an offensive and defensive alliance, but at the same time promote each other and maintain a delicate balance, and absolutely must not delay the right thing.
In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen thinks well, but ~~~, whether it is prestige or means, how can he be compared with Li Yuanqing?
Another core issue is whether the horse farm is classified as a 'public asset' in the political affairs department, or directly classified as private property in Li Yuanqing's name, or military property, Li Yuanqing really consumes a lot of brain cells.
If the horse farm is transferred to the Government Affairs Department and converted into a 'private sector', the benefits are obvious.
The most immediate point is that the horse farm will quickly become profitable.
The island's wealthy merchants, including ordinary people, did not have to incur many other expensive costs when they wanted to buy horses.
It's like buying an imported car in later generations.
Originally, the price of a car, in the United States, may only cost twenty or thirty thousand dollars.
But when it comes to China, it needs 400,000 or even 500,000 soft girl coins, and it may not be able to get it down.
There's a huge difference, or profit margin.
And benefiting the people has always been the realm pursued by Li Yuanqing.
The so-called 'rich country and strong people' should complement each other, but Li Yuanqing has always believed that if you want your sons and daughters to do their best and serve their lives, the most important thing is to first ensure the interests of your sons.
Only when the interests of the sons and daughters are guaranteed, can they work more together and move forward when they encounter emergencies.
It's just that ~, in such a state of affairs at this time, war will inevitably be a long-term spreading process.
Although Li Yuanqing had a small family at this time, he was still a little meager in front of the extremely critical strategic resources of war horses.
In this way~, Li Yuanqing can only guarantee the priority of the military, or rather, his private army.
After a few years, the whole situation will be smooth, and the situation can be controlled, and then slow reform will be carried out step by step.
At this time, Li Yuanqing's response was to continue to increase subsidies and encourage wealthy businessmen and ordinary people to raise more mules, horses, cattle and sheep.
Although the geographical location of Changsheng Island is northern, whether it is the climatic conditions, or the water source and soil composition of the island, it is really very suitable for grass growth.
In addition, the population of the island is only about 200,000, and there is still a considerable buffer space compared with the full quota of 1 million.
With this unique advantage, how could Li Yuanqing waste it?
Not to mention, these livestock are almost all treasures, even their manure is the best fertilizer in the field.
When Li Yuanqing found Cong Gulun, she was carefully feeding a pony in the company of several maids and several Jurchen minions.
Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, everyone fell to their knees.
"I've seen the master."
"See Shuaiye."
Li Yuanqing's external title was officially changed to Dashuai, but in his mansion, the maids and domestic slaves still called him master, but these Jurchens directly called Li Yuanqing 'master' It is not appropriate, Badaru thought about it carefully, and directly ordered his servants to call Li Yuanqing 'handsome'.
Although the 'handsome man' seems to be a bit nondescript, at this time, it is just right.
"Huh. Get up. ”
Li Yuanqing said, waved his hand, and strode in front of Cong Gulun.
The maids and servants around him realized when they arrived, and they hurriedly and carefully withdrew from the stable, waited respectfully outside, and gave up the space inside to Li Yuanqing and Cong Gulun.
"Grandpa......"
Cong Gulun was a little shy and happy, but he was a little afraid, as if he was afraid that Li Yuanqing would blame her for coming here, and he didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing's eyes.
Li Yuanqing smiled, smiled and held her white and smooth little hand, looked at the white little mare in front of him and said, "It's very beautiful." How old is it? ”
Listening to Li Yuanqing's tone, Cong Gulun did not reproach, his heart suddenly eased, and the smile on his pretty face became a lot brighter, and he responded with a careful smile: "Master, it is already half a year old." I've been taking care of him since he was born. It's my best friend. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, casually grabbed Cong Gulun's small waist, and said with a smile: "Then did you name it?" ”
Cong Gulun was ashamed and happy, "Master, I, I gave it a name, called, called Chasing the Wind ......"
Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Chasing the wind? That's a good name. Very good. If you like it, then I'll give it to you. Let it stay with you all the time. You can also take it back to the house to raise it. ”
"Really? Father? ”
Cong Gulun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and suddenly threw himself into Li Yuanqing's arms with joy.
Although she has tried her best to restrain herself, at this time, how can she completely restrain the girl's heart?
Looking at Cong Gulun's happy appearance in front of him, Li Yuanqing gently stroked her black and silky hair, and the smile on his face also relaxed.
This little girl is not easy.
Although she is a Jurchen and the blood of an old slave, at this time, she is already his Li Yuanqing's woman, and Li Yuanqing naturally has the responsibility and obligation to make her live a better life and a happier life.
It's just that for various reasons, even if Cong Gulun has a noble status and is a real princess bloodline, she is isolated in Li Yuanqing's mansion...... It seems inevitable, not to mention, the right to speak.
Especially...... Li Yuanqing has never really eaten Cong Gulun...... This has also become the biggest heart problem of Conggulun.
At this time, feeling Li Yuanqing's majestic and familiar embrace, Cong Gulun seemed to have returned to the time when she and Li Yuanqing were newly married Yan'er and Li Yuanqing were meticulous to her......
It's a pity that during this period of time, Li Yuanqing has been on the expedition, and after returning home, there are still a lot of wives and concubines to accompany him, so naturally he has no time to accompany her, a young 'little girl'.
At this time, I could feel Li Yuanqing's majestic, warm and considerate embrace again, especially Li Yuanqing didn't hate her, he still doted on her as before, which made Cong Gulun's little heart suddenly get great satisfaction.
On her pretty face, two shy blush couldn't stop rising.
After a while, Cong Gulun realized that this was in the stable, not in her boudoir, and said busily and shyly: "Master, let's go to Uncle Badalu's office to rest for a while, and the slave maid will make tea with you." After these days, the slave finally learned to make tea. ”
Li Yuanqing touched Cong Gulun's cheek affectionately and said with a smile: "There is no hurry to drink tea." Here in the stables, I haven't been here for a long time, I want to take a closer look, you accompany me. ”
"Hmm."
Cong Gulun also reacted, and Fang Xin couldn't help but be more happy, and he was busy and jerky, but skillfully grabbed Li Yuanqing's arm.
For a moment, like a little bird, happily snuggled on Li Yuanqing's shoulder.
Li Yuanqing smiled and hugged Cong Gulun's small waist, and came to the front to check the status of the other war horses in the stable.
The stables are very large, at least a few hundred square meters each.
Although the overall structure is simple, the construction has been carried out in an orderly manner.
The main bottom structure is wrapped with rammed earth to further strengthen the sealing and enhance the warmth effect.
Especially at this time, there is no war, and the mare that needs to be conceived is about to give birth and wait for childbirth, and in this regard, Li Yuanqing will never dare to be sloppy.
In this world, the birth of any new life, in fact, is a very sacred thing.
Only with the assistance of these new beings can human beings become stronger and stronger.
The stable had about two hundred horses and dozens of foals, but most of them were mares.
Most of the stallions in the foal, who are not congenitally sufficient, or are not strong enough, have to be castrated at about the same time.
This is actually quite inhumane for the animal world.
But war horses are strategic resources, especially on the battlefield, they must ensure high-strength stability, and it is naturally impossible to carry stallions.
After all, Cong Gulun is a Jurchen, and her research on war horses is much more thorough than Li Yuanqing's, and she explains to Li Yuanqing what she understands quietly and carefully.
"Master, this batch of war horses has a good momentum. Especially these ponies, in less than two months, they will be castrated. The forage on the island is much better than when the slave maid was in Shengjing. Lord, look at this little stallion, it's really beautiful. When it grows up, it must be the best stallion. ”
Different from the shyness of Han women, the nomadic people's love and cherishment of livestock are simply innate.
Especially the war horse, it is simply their life~root~son.
At this time, Cong Gulun's small chatterbox was already open, and he was quite a little talkative, and he explained to Li Yuanqing carefully, completely forgetting that this topic was actually ...... It's actually a bit embarrassing......
When the two of them came to the end of the stable, she saw through the fence and saw that the stallion next door was working hard to breed the mare...... The pretty face couldn't help but blush, and the delicate was almost dripping, and it was almost about to fall soft on Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing didn't expect to see such a scene......
Of course, the trip he planned was to see the breeding of these stallions, but he didn't expect that Congguren was also ......
At this time, with the excited neighing of the stallions and mares next door, the atmosphere on Li Yuanqing and Cong Gulun's side gradually began to rise.
Li Yuanqing's big hand wiped Cong Gulun's little face, which was already hot.
Especially the majesty of this stallion is beyond imagination, and it seems to have seen Li Yuanqing and Cong Gulun here, and worked harder......
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "This beast can still deceive people." ”
Cong Gulun also came back to his senses at this time, and he was almost ashamed to hide in Li Yuanqing's fur jacket, but he muttered in a low voice: "Master, slave this year, this year is sixteen years old......
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing an indescribable smile, "Tonight, wait for the master, the master will go to your room." ”
Cong Gulun was overjoyed, and he was busy standing on tiptoe, but shyly but took the initiative to give Li Yuanqing a fragrant kiss.
Fortunately~, Li Yuanqing's restraint is strong enough, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to help it, and in this stable, the little goblin Cong Gulun will be 'corrected on the spot'.
…………
The two of them stayed in the stable for half an hour, and only then did they come out of the stable, when Conggulun was completely calm and there was no abnormality on his pretty face.
Li Yuanqing wanted to focus on checking the state of the sweaty BMW stallion.
Seeing the two of them come out, Badaru and the others had already been waiting here for a long time, and they were busy kneeling on the ground one after another, kowtowing respectfully to Li Yuanqing.
Badaru carefully flattered: "Handsome man, do you want to drink a cup of hot tea first to warm up your body?" ”
Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Don't worry, let's go, let's go and see that baby sweat and blood BMW first!" ”
"Yes."
