Early the next morning, Wu Chuan summoned the main officials of the Horse Husbandry Prison, a total of one hundred and three people. Among them, Wei Panti is the chief pastor, Hu Sizheng is the deputy pastor, and Zhang Jingshun's great-great-grandson Zhang Liangsu is also the deputy pastor.

Shandan Military Horse Farm is the location of Hexi Pastoral Supervisor, belongs to the upper pastoral supervisor, there is one main pastoral supervisor, two deputy pastoral supervisors, the rest of the herdsmen, the main book has two each, the rest is a veterinarian, veterinary doctor, apprentice, horse wrangler, etc., of which there is only one veterinary doctor, there are two hundred veterinarians, three hundred apprentices, and the most horse wranglers, there are seven hundred.

These people formed the team of the horse herding supervisor, Wu Chu felt that this setting was not enough, the war horse was the strategic reserve of the empire, and this setting would only make the efficiency lower and lower, and it was no wonder that there would be fewer and fewer war horses produced here. Although Zhang Jingshun has raised horses here for 24 years, and has formulated a series of systems such as raising horses, raising horses, and taming horses, after decades of development, have these people pioneered and innovated?

Obviously, this is doubtful!

After pondering for a long time, Wu Zheng said slowly: "Show the account books and veterinary records of the pastoral supervisor to this king." ”

After a short time, Mu Cheng and the master bookkeeper and others held thick booklets in their hands and put them on the bookcase, there were ten stacks. Wu Chu immediately took the records of the last two years, it seemed for a moment, and then took the records of thirty years ago, and compared the two, he immediately saw the difference, and his face became gloomy as water.

The difference is the domestication of war horses and the number of horses. Thirty years ago, there were 100,000 newborn horses every year, 90,000 war horses were domesticated, and between 80,000 and 90,000 war horses were transported, but in these two years, there were only less than 30,000 domesticated war horses per year, and less than 20,000 war horses were successfully transported in the end.

Wu Chuan stood up suddenly. He looked at the group of officials and said, "Who can tell me that you have innovated over the years?" Have you ever studied why there are fewer good horses? Don't say it to this king. The Turks plundered two hundred thousand horses. ”

"Look at your domestication methods, how is it different from forty years ago? How many forty years can there be in life? Without innovation, without research, and blindly following the old ways, how can you breed good horses? ”

Wu Chu didn't want to get angry, but looking at the number that was far from it, he really had to get angry. This grassland is the main source of war horses of the Great Zhou, and if they are all fooled here, then the future of the Great Zhou is worrying. What did he do to destroy Tibet? Compete with the Arab Empire for the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and Khorasan? And how to completely destroy Silla.

To do these things, it is necessary to have the support of a large number of war horses, but such a number of jù makes his heart half cold!

The officials did not dare to say anything. Wu Shui angrily overturned the book case. said angrily: "Get out, get out of here, a bunch of rice buckets!" ”

Wei Panti and Hu Si were speechless at each other, and in the face of the anger of King Wei, they could only drag on, and they could drag it for as long as they could.

Zhang Liangzhi shook his head, as if thinking about a problem, he was the deputy supervisor of the Hexi Horse Herding Supervisor by the ancestral Yin official. But the precious wealth left by my grandfather is still there, and he has studied it for a long time. Originally, he wanted to speak, but King Wei was angry, and he didn't dare anymore, so he had to think about it and talk about it.

Wu Chu sulked, he originally wanted to leave in a few days, but now he didn't want to leave, he wanted to rectify the pastoral prison.

So, Wu Chu prepared a long note for the empress, entitled "On Horse Politics". But how to write it requires a strategy, and if the strategy is not good, according to the character of the empress, it will only attract suspicion.

Ma Zheng, since the Qin and Han dynasties, with the continuous invasion of the northern nomads, was valued by various dynasties, but the system is slightly different, the domestication method is also different, until the Sui Dynasty after the domestication tends to mature, there are millions of horses in the Yonghui period.

Hexi Horse Husbandry Supervisor, also reached its peak in that period, although there are now 300,000 horses, but there are not many war horses, most of them are used to carry and pull carts, plus a large number of redundant officials in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, most of the Wu family pay attention to luxury, so Shandan Horse Farm has also become the source of horses for these people.

The decrease in the number of war horses is related to the lack of good horses, but more importantly, there is no innovation, so that the number of war horses is decreasing every year.

Wu Chu was angry, and only three words were written on the spread paper, "On Ma Zheng", and he fell into deep thought.

In a moment, a bowl of hot mare's milk wine was placed on Wu Zheng's bookcase, Wu Zheng watched Wei Xiaoyue put down the mare's milk wine, turned around and walked out, and said, "I'm not a tiger, what are you afraid of?" ”

Wei Xiaoyue turned around, snorted softly, and said, "You are not a tiger, you are a wolf that eats people and does not spit out bones!" ”

Wu Shu smiled slightly and said, "Tigers and wolves are both carnivores, and there is no difference, Xiaoyue, come and sit down, I have something to ask you." ”

Wei Xiaoyue was stunned, she could hear clearly just now, King Wei's angry appearance was very fierce, and she was a little scared.

"You're not going to bully me anymore?" Wei Xiaoyue looked scared, but showed a touch of shame.

Wu Chu was surprised, is she afraid of me? This girl really asked him to say something, "Come and sit down, this king has something serious to ask you." ”

Wei Xiaoyue sat on a low stool with her hands behind her back, and here Hu Feng was strict, so the seat was also this low stool.

Seeing Wei Xiaoyue's bright and somewhat clear eyes looking at him, Wu Chu had an impulse in his heart, but then he shook it off, coughed lightly, and said, "Xiaoyue thinks, how is Ma Zheng in Da Zhou?" ”

"Satsuki doesn't understand!" Wei Xiaoyue said unceremoniously, as if she saw Wu Zheng's dissatisfaction, and then changed her words: "Xiaoyue only knows how to train and raise horses, but she doesn't know how to breed horses, and grandpa doesn't let Xiaoyue see it." ”

Wu Chu immediately understood, but sighed for such a simple girl, and he could feel that this innocence was not pretended.

"Then let me ask you, in this land of Shandan, so that no one from Ma Zheng has raised any objections?"

Wei Xiaoyue sneered and said, "How could it be?" Zhang Liangshi once proposed to raise horses in batches, but was denied by his grandfather and Hu Sizheng. ”

"Why?" Wu asked him.

Wei Xiaoyue shrugged her shoulders and said, "How did I know that you are the King of Wei, just call him over and ask him?" ”

After that, Wei Xiaoyue stood up and walked out, but was pulled by Wu Chu, Wei Xiaoyue wanted to break free but was clamped tightly, she stared at Wu Chu, and said coquettishly: "You want to bully me again?" ”

Wu Chu said: "Why do you think of me as if you are hungry and don't choose to eat, I want you to call Zhang Liang to serve." You're in such a hurry, I have no choice but to catch you. ”

Wei Xiaoyue said indignantly: "Then if you don't let go, you hurt me." ”

Wu Shu let go of his hand. said: "You are familiar with here, call Zhang Liang to me." ”

"Why?" Wei Xiaoyue pursed her lips, glaring at Wu Chu as if she was angry, and she was not afraid at all, she didn't know if she really didn't understand Wu Chu's power, or if she was really simple in her heart and didn't have the slightest scheming. Wu Shui couldn't help it. Stretching out his hand to stop his waist and hug him, he ignored Wei Xiaoyue, who was struggling, and walked towards the inside. Then he said, "Why, you say? That's it! ”

At this time, Wu Shui could only tell Wei Xiaoyue with his actions, why should he order him. He seemed to be incarnated as a lion on the grassland. pounced on their prey. Immediately, there was a frenzied whipping sound from inside.

Zhang Liangshi's footsteps just about to step into the room suddenly stopped, his face was stunned, and he went down the steps, waiting for the stirring sound inside to disappear.

For half an hour, a woman ran out of the room briskly, and when she saw Zhang Liangshi under the steps, her face was stunned. Then he pointed to the house and said, "Brother Zhang." Your Highness, please. With that, her face turned red instantly, and her white and tender face was like a fiery red cloud, and Wei Xiaoyue hurriedly ran away.

Zhang Liang served more than thirty people, and naturally understood what happened to Wei Xiaoyue, and he couldn't help but feel sad for Hu Ju'er, but he was just a pastoral supervisor, and he was a deputy, and he only obeyed the orders of the superiors, so he got rid of distracting thoughts, tidied up his clothes, and then slowly stepped into the room.

When he entered the room, he saw a sword-eyed Wei King Wu Zheng writing something, he bowed and saluted: "Hexi Horse Husband, Deputy Pastoral Supervisor See His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

Wu Zheng had already heard the sound of footsteps, he looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, this Wei Xiaoyue is flying, so fast? But he was not allowed to think much at the moment, so he said: "Pastoral Supervisor Zhang sat down and spoke. ”

Zhang Liangshi dared to sit down in front of King Wei, so he said: "The lower officials are still standing, Your Highness, the lower officials are here to offer the superior and lower officials' horse breeding strategies." I also hope that His Royal Highness can listen to the words of the lower official. ”

"Huh?" This Zhang Liang Shi came on his own initiative, not Wei Xiaoyue's summons, Wu Chu suddenly became interested, and said: "Zhang Mujian said that it doesn't matter, if you can raise a BMW good horse for my Great Zhou, it will be my Great Zhou's hero." ”

Zhang Liangshi was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly had a feeling of meeting the master, bowed down, and said: "Your Highness Xie, Your Highness, please let the lower officials talk about Ma Zheng'......"

The Ma Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty followed the Ma Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, but the Taifu Temple, which was in charge of the Ma Zheng, was changed to the Sifu Temple, and the supreme minister of the Sifu Temple was the Sifu Qing, who was directly in charge of the major horse herding supervisors in the empire, so the pastoral supervisors also directly reported the horse herding situation to the Sifu Qing, and according to the number of horses, the pastoral supervisors were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower, and the configuration of officials was slightly different.

Hexi animal husbandry supervisor in Shandan Horse Farm, Shandan Horse Farm is mainly in this Hanyang grassland, the grassland is vast, once raised millions of horses, cattle, sheep and camels, so the potential of raising horses is very great, but horse breeding has always been a mixture of good horses and bad horses, although there are horse breeds, but over time, the breeding of horse cubs will gradually tend to be dull.

Zhang Liangsu believes that since the horse is born, it should be numbered, and with domestication, the advantages and disadvantages will be revealed, and at this time, the good and bad horse cubs can be separated, and then renumbered, so as to enter the second batch of breeding. With the growth of good horses, the advantages and disadvantages of good horses appear again, so pick out the good horses, number and raise, and so on, through guò grading and breeding, select the best good horses as horse breeds, and domesticate good horses to become war horses, and in the long run, then why worry about the lack of excellent war horses in the land of Hexi?

When Wei Wang Wuzheng heard this, he couldn't help but be impressed, this is the "elite training method" in the previous life, especially in the school, after the entrance examination, all the top part of the whole grade will be concentrated in the top class, equipped with the best teachers and the best teaching materials, as well as the most advanced equipment, the purpose is only one, the best higher education in the country! And so on, as well as the army's top soldier squads, top soldier companies, top corps, and so on.

With such a segmented shepherding, survival of the fittest, and secret learning, Wu Chu immediately fell in love with this young pastoral supervisor.

Immediately, Wu Chu stood up and said, "If you are the shepherd of Hexi, how many war horses can you produce every year?" ”

Zhang Liangshi was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic in his heart, bowed down and said: "Three years later, the lower officials guarantee that the annual output will be at least no less than 50,000 horses!" ”

"Fifty thousand?" Wu Chu was overjoyed in his heart, in this way, within ten years, a powerful cavalry could be formed, so he said: "Zhang Liangsi, are you willing to be loyal to me!?" ”

Zhang Liangshi's eyes showed a look of shock, and then he knelt down on one knee, "Weichen also wishes in his heart!" (To be continued......)
