Chapter 3 This is an opportunity
As soon as it was dawn, the horsemen began to work. There's no rooster crow. It's just that these horse servants have been working here for many years, and they have long understood the way here, feeding the horses in the morning, and when it is close to noon, they can sleep for a while.
Although, the young lady who took Ma Chao into the mansion said that this horse servant was just a decoration, Ma Chao didn't take this sentence seriously, not to mention the class system of the Wang family's mansion, Ma Chao didn't dare to compliment this idea of male superiority and inferiority of women. Miss Wang is one year older than Wang Zitang, but this girl is going to marry after all, and everyone in the house knows this truth, so they all listen to Wang Zitang, after all, Wang Zitang will be the master of this family in the future.
For physical work, Ma Chao does not exclude, on the contrary, he has the idea of exercising his muscles and bones. When he arrived at the horse ring, Ma Chao was divided into a big wooden fork, two teeth, and the tips of the teeth were polished.
The grass trough of the horse circle is about 20 zhang long, which is more than 60 meters of the current unit of measurement. This is just one of the inner circles. Filled with more than 60 meters of forage, the amount is also quite large, Ma Chao didn't work long before he got a stinky sweat.
At this moment, he saw someone running around, and Ma Chao hurriedly stopped and asked. It turned out that something was wrong on the outer side of the circle.
The royal family has been in the horse business for generations, and the management is strict. Even the horse circle is divided into inside and outside, involution, mostly stallions, mares, foals, according to the breed is roughly divided into more than a dozen horse circles, and it is strictly forbidden to breed.
The outer circle, mostly short-term horse business, most of them are bought from the tribe, the good ones are left to be trained into military horses, and the bad ones are picking some, doing export business, going to the border gates, and selling them to the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty lacks horses, even if the second-class breed of the Jin Kingdom is also a good horse in the Southern Song Dynasty, and in terms of profits, it is slightly better than the military horses.
The last rest was fed with fodder, and when it was heavy, it was rented to tenants who had no cattle to do farm work. Anyway, this horse is a horse and can't be wasted.
This morning, the horse servant who went to the outer circle was buying fodder, and the horse suddenly rolled on the ground, and his limbs were weak, and he could not stand up.
This is a few days ago, the war horses from Western Xia, the starting price is quite high, this batch of horses was originally intended to be sold to the Mongolian Tatars, but who thought that it was only a few days, and something happened to the horses.
Ma Chao was new here, so he was called to the outer circle to help. The Wang family raised their own private horse doctor, called the Horse Hospital. Today, more than a dozen horse doctors from this horse hospital came, and asked the horse servants to help, checking one by one, tired and sweaty, and did not dare to be idle.
Ma Chao followed, and as soon as he entered the outer circle, he saw dense horses lying on the ground, and an old man in a brocade robe stood not far away, his face was like cold water, staring without saying a word.
This old man is the head of the Wang family, Wang Bo, known as Little Bole. From the age of fourteen to the somewhat defeated Wang family, to the current prosperity of the Wang family, it is all the credit of Wang Bo.
Wang Bo has a bad temper, but the rewards and punishments are clear, many years of experience in horse business, what storms have not been experienced, this matter Wang Bo is not unsolvable, but the business of a hundred horses, Wang Bo does not care at all, but hopes to use this kind of thing to test the horse doctor who he has raised a lot of money.
After this try, I learned that I had raised a group of rice buckets. These horse doctors were all hired by his son Wang Zitang with a lot of money, and the old man Wang Bo was not silent, so he waited, and after a while, Wang Zitang came sweating profusely.
Ma Chao finally saw this little overlord Wang Zitang, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a fat man, with oily hair and flour, and the meat on his neck was almost as thick as his head.
"What's going on?"
Old man Wang Bo asked Wang Zitang, but Wang Zitang didn't dare to raise his head, so he resignedly said, "This horse ...... I didn't get in. ”
Hearing his son's words, the old man Wang Bo raised his eyebrows and said in a tone of lesson: "The wild horses of Fanbang must always have problems in twos and threes, let me ask you, what is going on with these horse doctors?" I'm at this hour, don't talk about medication, I don't even dare to judge the symptoms. ”
Wang Zitang lowered his head and squinted at the busy horse doctors with his eyes, eager to take a whip and whip them one by one, but the old man was here, so he whispered: "Dad, don't be angry, I'll drive them all away." ”
When the old man Wang Bo heard this, he was so angry that his beard flew away, and he roared: "Drive them away, and when you find a new one, can the horse still live?" All the silver of the white flowers has been lost. ”
Wang Zitang hurriedly knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to say anything, this old man was so angry that even if he was his own son, he dared to break his legs.
Old man Wang Bo was about to fight, and when he saw it, there was one kneeling next to him. When the old man saw that he was a horse servant, he asked what was the matter? It was Ma Chao who knelt, Ma Chao knelt this time, he felt awkward, but thinking about it, people who want revenge can lie on the bed and endure hardships, even if it is General Han Xin, he has also drilled into the crotch of others, not to mention, Old Man Wang looks at his age and is almost sixty, and this kneeling is not a loss.
Ma Chao said, the kid has learned some horse scriptures, why don't you let me try it, let me cure these horses.
These words are not big words, although Ma Chao has little experience, he has also studied with modern veterinarians for a period of time, and the disease of modern horses is compared with these horses that grow up naturally eating non-polluting feed, which is strange.
As soon as Ma Chao saw it, he knew that these horses had horse dyslepsy. Fasha means stinking poison and miasma.
Doing so is more or less slapping Wang Zitang's face, which is not a very good thing for Ma Chao, but this is also an opportunity, an opportunity not to sleep with Ma Servants.
Wang Zitang was next to him and heard Ma Chao say that he could cure horse diseases, so he was anxious, thinking to himself where did this come out of a slave who is not long-eyed, there is no way for the horse doctor I hired with a high salary, you know a fart.
After Ma Chao finished speaking, he looked at the old man Wang Bo, the old man Wang Bo was a little surprised, thinking that this bearing did not look like a servant, this pondering was preempted by Wang Zitang, and Wang Zitang opened his mouth and scolded. But he was slapped by the old man Wang Bo, and Wang Bo didn't care about looking at Ma Chao's prince hall with vicious eyes, and asked Ma Chao to tell him what was going on?
Ma Chao said that these horses came from other places, and they were not familiar with forage, water and soil, and the weather had changed recently, and there was miasma in their abdomen, that is, stinky poison.
Ma Chao glanced at Old Man Wang Bo as he spoke, and saw Old Man Wang Bo brushing his beard.
In short, use one tael for the dried needles on both sides, two taels for the raw ones, grind the dry ones into powder, wash them with warm water, and pour them down from the nostrils. Raw pounding, rubbing its tongue, rubbing, homeopathic to the throat, let the horse take it, the disease will naturally be cured.
After listening to this, Old Man Wang Bo frowned and did not speak. Wang Zitang glanced up at Old Man Wang Bo, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's nonsense, I've never heard of anyone treating horses like this." ”
Wang Zitang said a word, he was complacent, so he heard the old man Wang Bo say, you might as well try it!
