The Qin people were good at raising horses, which is recorded in Sima Qian's historical records.

"Historical Records of Qin Benji" recorded: "Non-Ziju dog hill, good horses and livestock, good at resting." The people of Inuqiu said that King Xiao of Zhou, King Xiao summoned the main horse between Huangwei and Wei, and the horse was resting. …… So the king of filial piety said: 'Xi Bo is the main animal of Shun, and the animals are restless, so there is soil, and the surname is Ying. Now in the future generations, it is still a lonely horse, and its land is a vassal, 'Qin of Yi'. Make the resumption of the Ying family's ritual, called Qin Ying. ”

Feizi is the ancestor of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and he was divided into princes because he was good at raising horses, which shows that ancient China was eclectic to the use of talented people.

Horse breeding has always played an important role in the economic life of the Qin people. After the unification of the Great Qin, a complete set of horse administration institutions were established in the country and relevant laws and policies were promulgated, and one of the servants of the Nine Qing Dynasty was the highest official in charge of horse administration, and two people were appointed as deputies.

Great Qin had pastures in various parts of the border passes, which were specially used to raise horses, and most of these horses were used for military purposes. There are a number of official horse institutions near Xianyang, such as the big stable, the left stable, the middle stable, the palace stable, etc.

Daqin's military horses have a unified standard, the assessment of military horses is extremely strict, all the military horses handed over to the chariot riding troops, must be more than five feet eight inches tall, gallop binding to be handy, pack trekking to have endurance, otherwise the officials in charge are regarded as poor training and training, to be punished, and in the military horse assessment, the results are backward, the officials in charge must also be punished, or even dismissed.

The "Law of the Stable" is the law set by Daqin specifically for raising horses. There are clear regulations on the treatment and prevention of horse diseases, the source of feed for military horses in stables, and the punishment of horse thieves.

The horse that Hu Hai had ridden before was a jet-black horse with a body height of more than six feet (one foot in the Qin system was about equal to more than twenty-three centimeters today), much taller than the ordinary military horses of the Great Qin. Shenjun is abnormal, Zhang Han said that it can travel thousands of miles, and Hu Haisuo gave him a name "Black Lightning".

What kind of black electricity Hu Hai is not clear, but Hu Hai knows that it is very common to have a surname, and ordinary people are not allowed to ride it at all. I just don't know how to tame this big guy with the small body of Hu Hai before.

At this moment, the four hooves of black electricity have been installed with new foot covers, it seems to be a little uncomfortable, from time to time to shake the hooves, head up and take two steps, and then shake the hooves, the appearance is very funny!

I brought it in the car today just to put on my shoes first. Hu Hai whistled, and the black lightning spread his four legs and rushed towards Hu Hai, and the four iron palms on the hooves made a sonorous sound on the bluestone ground, and a small stone slab was directly shattered.

The black lightning that ran over affectionately arched his head on Hu Hai's body, Hu Hai avoided this guy's kiss, touched its long mane and asked, "What do you Aiqing think of this thing?" ”

Just now, everyone saw the black lightning stepping on the bluestone slab, and they couldn't help but think that if a hoof kicked on a person, wouldn't it be directly killed? Thinking of this, my face couldn't help but be a little pale.

At this moment, a forbidden army came over and knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Meng Tian has something important to ask to see." ”

"Oh? Meng Aiqing is here? Let him come. ”

Hu Hai was not surprised to hear the report of the forbidden soldiers, he had explained to Cui Niang before he left Xianyang Palace, if there were ministers looking for something to do, he would tell them that he had come to Shangfang, and at this moment Meng Tian must have something urgent to find.

After a while, Meng Tian and an old man with white hair in armor walked over.

Meng Tian was actually a little angry, originally seeing that Hu Hai had shown signs of reviving Great Qin after returning from his eastern tour, which made him very excited. But it's been two days since I received the news of the Julu rebellion, and Hu Hai still doesn't have any intention of dealing with it, but has the leisure to wander around Shangfang.

Hu Hai was a little surprised to see the old man next to Meng Tian, he didn't know this old man.

"Your Majesty, it was General Li Xin who rushed back from Longxi."

Zhang Han, who was beside him, saw the old man beside Meng Tian and whispered to Hu Hai. As soon as the words fell, Meng Tian and Li Xin had already walked over.

"Your Majesty, Meng Tian (Li Xin), greets!"

"The two Aiqing are even." Hu Hai asked Yingyi to take the horse away, "When did Li Aiqing arrive in Xianyang?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister rushed to Xianyang today, and His Majesty is resting, so the old minister is only here now." Li Xin bowed.

This was the first time Hu Hai had seen Li Xin, perhaps because the annihilation of the entire army in the Battle of Annihilation of Chu had dealt a great blow to this originally talented general, who had just passed the age of forty and was already full of furrows, giving people a feeling of heroic twilight.

However, apparently Meng Tian had already told Li Xin the reason why Hu Hai called him back to Xianyang this time, although he stayed in the side for a long time, and even said that Li Xin could not hide the tiredness on his face, but at this moment he seemed to be rejuvenated, and a vitality was rising in his body.

"Presumably Meng Aiqing has already told Aiqing what happened to Aiqing's return to Xianyang this time. It's just that I don't know if there will be Hu people in Longxi when Aiqing left Longxi? This is what Hu Hai is most worried about.

Now that the Tiger Ben Army has just begun to be reorganized, and the Prisoner Army has just started training for only one day, if Daqin is really in war on all sides, Hu Hai will not be able to transfer troops even if he wants to.

"Back to Your Majesty, when the old minister left Longxi, Qianghu was not unusual."

"That's good." Hu Hai nodded.

"Your Majesty, what should I do about the giant deer? How could His Majesty ignore the matter of the giant deer and go to Shangfang to play. Meng Tian couldn't wait to interject and ask, glaring at Zhang Han fiercely as he spoke, obviously blaming him Hu Hai didn't care about the Julu rebellion, so you, Lang Zhongling, wouldn't advise?

Zhang Han was inexplicably stunned by Meng Tian, and only understood when he heard Meng Tian's words at this moment.

"Lord Meng, Your Majesty is not going to Shangfang for fun." Zhang Han hurriedly defended Hu Hai.

"Oh? Can you tell me what happened to Your Majesty in Shangfang? Meng Tian looked around, obviously not believing Zhang Han's words.

At this time, Clutch was taking a few officials from Shangfang to step up the production of saddles and stirrups, and they were all staying in the small house of Clutch, and Meng Tian didn't see it.

"Can Meng Aiqing see the difference between black electricity?" Hu Hai said.

When Meng Tian heard Hu Hai's words, he walked over and circled around the black lightning a few times, and then saluted Hu Hai and said, "Please forgive your majesty for being stupid, this horse does not see any difference except for the divine horse and the ordinary war horse." ”

Hu Hai didn't speak, a whistle blew, and the black lightning not far away immediately ran over and rubbed against Hu Hai affectionately.

Hu Hai patted Hei Dian's head, and his hand exerted a slight force to make Hei Deng lie on the ground. Black Lightning's legs bent to the ground.

"Then Meng Aiqing will come and see." Hu Hai leaned over and grabbed Hei Dian's hooves and said to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian and Li Xin walked over curiously, wanting to see what the difference was. A black semi-circular iron hoop was attached to the bare outer hooves of the horse, as if it were wearing an iron shoe.

Meng Tian and Li Xin were both leading generals, and when they saw this thing, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they immediately thought of the impact on the war horse.

"Ministers are stupid, Your Majesty Shengming!" Meng Tian and Li Xin said convincingly.

"Lord Meng, General Li, Your Majesty has also asked the craftsmen of Shangfang to make two things, a saddle and a stirrup, which are being built at the moment. When these two things are created, my Great Qin cavalry will definitely be invincible in the world. The Hun barbarians are also in the matter. Zhang Han said excitedly.

"Oh? What is so amazing? Meng Tian said in surprise, looking around, obviously itching.

"The two Aiqing don't need to be in a hurry, they will see you later." Hu Hai comforted.

At this moment, Long Hong trotted over and saluted Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, the things your Majesty needs in the dyeing workshop have been prepared. ”

"Oh? You ready? Okay, I'll go over here, Zhang Aiqing, Meng Aiqing, and Li Aiqing are here, those two things are made, and the three Aiqing can use them first. Hu Hai turned his head and instructed Zhang Han and the others.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Although Zhang Han and the others had greatly increased their expectations for Hu Hai after knowing the three things made by Hu Hai, such as the saddle, stirrup and horseshoe, they also wanted to follow to see what Hu Hai wanted to do in the dyeing workshop, but since Hu Hai had already given the order, of course they could only obey the order.

……

Hu Hai took Ying Yi to the dye shop quickly, and at this moment the dye shop was already full of things Hu Hai needed. A copper tripod more than two feet high is placed in the middle of the dyeing workshop, and the bottom is full of wood.

Hu Hai didn't say anything, and hurriedly commanded the craftsmen of the dyeing workshop to get busy.

The primitive papermaking method is mainly to chop hemp, fishing nets, bark and other things, then wash them, put them in lime water, then steam, pound, and then use bamboo strips to fish out the crushed fibers, and finally dry them.

His Majesty the Emperor commanded beside him, the craftsmen moved quickly, and the forbidden army who followed Hu Hai also went in to help, and soon the first bamboo strip was fished out.

Hu Hai looked at the thin layer of yellowing fibers covered by the bamboo strips in the hands of the forbidden army, and secretly said in his heart, hoping to succeed.

After a while, the fibers on the bamboo strips are dried, and a layer of yellow paper appears on the bamboo strips. Hu Hai took off the yellow paper on the bamboo strips, which was a bit like the yellow paper used to burn paper money for the dead in later generations, which was very rough.

It looks like we need to keep improving. Hu Hai shook his head and put down the yellow paper in his hand.

Ying Yi and the surrounding craftsmen obviously didn't think so, they all understood what Hu Hai was going to do at this moment, no one thought that simple things could be mixed together and Hu Hai's method to make paper that was far lighter than parchment.

And obviously this method is cheap and fast, and can be manufactured in large quantities.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Ying Yi excitedly held the yellow paper in his hand and bowed to Hu Hai in the tunnel. The craftsmen in the dyeing workshop also bowed to the ground at the same time, shouting "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”。

"This paper is not good. If there was a better paper than this one, could a message be transmitted by a carrier pigeon? Hu Hai asked.

"Your Majesty, it is enough to have this thing, and the carrier pigeon can be used in less than a month." Win a sure way.

Hu Hai nodded, beckoned the old man who had spoken before, and said, "From now on, this workshop is dedicated to making paper, and there is no need to make a dyeing workshop." But I hope you can think about something else, and come out with a whiter and lighter blank paper sooner. ”

"Your Majesty obeys!"

At this time, a lieutenant wearing the armor of the timber battalion appeared at the door of the dyeing workshop and was stopped by the forbidden army at the door.

Seeing this, Long Hong hurriedly walked over, and after saying a few words, the lieutenant turned around and left, and Long Hong came back and said, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside Shangfang who is looking for a big man to win, saying that there is something important to report." ”

Hu Hai was busy discussing with the old man how to improve the method of papermaking, waved his hand and said, "Since you are looking for a win one, then win one and go." ”

"Whoa!" Win a pair of Huhai gifts.

After a while, Win One will come back.

Ying Yi walked to Hu Hai's side, bowed down and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, except for the Yin and Yang faction, the people of the hundred families have all found out where Long Wei is!" ”

ps: Last night when I coded words, the computer suddenly went black. I went to check it today and found out that the original graphics card was burned. I changed the graphics card, and when I went home in the afternoon to turn on the computer, I found that the words that had been coded last night had disappeared. I can't help it, so I'm not updating until now. Sorry, sorry! Thank you Fengxue for the reward! Tomorrow will be more than that, so challenge yourself.
