More than 300 Andalusian horses, less than 400, trotted in the southern corner of the ranch, looking very comfortable, they were the darlings of the whole ranch, and the whole ranch was built mainly on them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, there are more than 200 adult horses, more than 40 three-year horses, more than 30 two-year horses, and more than 40 one-year horses, of which more than 100 adult horses were sold by Macao people this year." Gu Yan introduced on the side.

Since re-establishing the relationship, Alonzo has found a big business opportunity in Jeju, Zhao Lie and others are very eager for Andalusian war horses, so Alonzo collected all the Andalusian war horses imported from Luzon from Macao in recent years and transported them to Jeju during the first escort, with 300 taels of silver per horse, which is a lot of money.

Zhao Lie's eyes followed a black two-year-old horse, the two-year-old horse was already very tall, but their stout was still slightly worse, they looked short and slender, not as majestic as the adult Andalusian horse, estimated to be one meter four or five.

The adult Andalusian war horse can reach a height of more than one meter five, and the reason why Zhao Lie pays attention to it is because he is a naughty ghost, constantly harassing other horses, large and small, and constantly being expelled by other adult horses.

"My lord, it's all here... According to the adults, they are all thoroughbreds, there are more mixed horses in other places, now there are three years of horses, two years of horses, and about 2,000 horses a year, in addition, three-year horses can now also mate and give birth, according to this estimate, four years later, there will be more than 10,000 mixed horses, but there can only be thousands of horses for riding, after all, the mare must be left to give birth. Gu Yan looked at Zhao Lie worriedly.

He asked himself that he had done his best, and that it would take three years for the horses to grow. Ride. Copulation. Therefore, the horses here have been cultivated with countless manpower and material resources, but whether they are satisfied or not depends on the adults.

"Gu Yan, yes, you are not from a horse breeder like Ma Quanfu, but I chose you because you are studious, good at seeking advice, and patient. The situation here is good, and I will celebrate you when thousands to tens of thousands of these hybrids will join the Broken Army in a few years. Zhao Lie praised.

"The adults have won the award, but the subordinates just explore slowly, ask for more advice, and do their best." The skinny Gu Yan put his mind at ease.

"In four or five years, how many horses will a thoroughbred be able to make." Zhao Lie asked.

"It's only four or five hundred, and it's estimated that less than a thousand horses will be sold in Macau." Gu Yan replied.

"It's still too little." Zhao Lie sighed very much, breeding thoroughbred horses is really a long and huge process, not a few years can be crossed. I complain that most of the horses that have been improved in China have been abandoned halfway, and they have only cost silver taels. If you don't see a big effect, of course, it can't be long-term.

The dust rose in the distance, and the two horses galloped to the city, and Huang Han of Jeju City asked Zhao Lie to return to the city immediately and had something important to report.

Zhao Lie immediately rushed back to Jeju City with Pegasus surrounded by guards, it was not an urgent matter, and Huang Han would not act like this.

"My lord, this is an urgent letter from Shidao, just brought by two clippers." As soon as Huang Han met, he presented the two letters.

This is a red envelope, with a flying feather pasted on it, this is the agreement between Zhao Lie and Shidao Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen, one, two, three flying feathers represent the degree of urgency, if Zhao Lie is overseas, he will send two flying clippers to deliver the message, just in case, this is the first time Zhao Lie has received a flying feather message.

Zhao Lie opened a letter, which was written by Zhao Meng, telling him that the commander of Jinghaiwei had promoted Lord Zhou to be promoted to the rank of general of the Qing Dynasty, and the new commander of the guard was about to take office. I hope that Zhao Lie will return to discuss quickly.

After reading it, Zhao Lie immediately burned the two letters.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Lie ordered Han Jianqian's headquarters to return to Shidao with him.

"Huang Han, Fang Yu, you have to find out the information of the Japanese State and North Korea through various means, I guess they will not accept the defeat so much, they will definitely retaliate, we must know ourselves and the enemy. At the same time, carefully interrogate the Koreans, the Japanese will not come to Jeju to investigate in person, they will definitely come through the Koreans to find out. Before leaving, Zhao Lie commanded.

Zhao Lie had a hunch that the Tokugawa family had already launched an operation, but because there was no source of information, he still knew nothing.

At the end of November 8 in the first year of Chongzhen, Zhao Lie took the Wei Qing and led dozens of fleets back to Shidao, the fleet returned to Shidao to transport the Liaomin, and this year's plan to transport the Liaomin in Shidao was almost completed, and now there are less than 60,000 Liaomin left in Shidao, after this winter, Shidao is estimated to have thousands of Liaomin left, after all, there is no shortage of warships after the return of the southbound fleet.

Zhao Lie put into operation ten newly built 500-ton Galen ships and two repaired treasure ships named Wutaishan and Songshan, each of which could transport more than 6,000 people. After spring, all the Liao people from Seokdo will be transported to Jeju Island, and the multi-year journey will come to an end.

In Shidao Bay, Han Jian's department, which had just landed at the dock, immediately began to be vigilant, and all the gems harvested from the south were brought to Shidao to be sold, while the rest of the gold and silver were left on Jeju Island, and in a few months, after all the refugees left, Jeju Island was responsible for the food and salary of the refugees and soldiers in North China.

Brother Zhao Lie and Brother Zhao Meng had a lively meeting and exchanged the situation between Shidao and Jeju Beihua.

After dinner, at the mansion, Zhao Lie summoned Du Li and Wang Quan.

"My lord, since July and August last year, more than 10 people have entered the kiln mouth, shipyard, iron factory, refugee camp and other places in Shidao, and have been found and arrested by the internal security of the headquarters, most of them are businessmen from Jinan, Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places who sent people to get the cement kiln mouth and iron factory in Shidao, but the few people who entered the refugee camp and shipyard are very special, they belong to a businessman named Pang Chengdengzhou," Wang Quan said. This is his internal guard on duty.

"What's special about it?" Zhao Lie asked, he was not surprised at all that someone coveted Shidao, in a world of official positions, taking people's property was just a matter of thought, and he had already prepared. Otherwise, he would not have moved most of the shipyards, the artisan camp, and the salt works to Jeju Island, and he would not have left the handle in Seokdo.

"This Pang Cheng is a big businessman in Dengzhou, and his family has sea ships to Korea and the Wa Kingdom, and Dengzhou's local grain, groceries and other businesses. There is even a ready-to-wear and pawn business. Since there is sea trade, there is a backstage. Maritime trade and Japanese countries are all smuggling, and it is impossible to have no connections. But this Pang Cheng never shows off and has always been cautious, so no one knows who is behind him. Wang Quan said.

"How long has Pang Cheng been in Dengzhou?" Zhao Lie asked, he said in his heart that this person was low-key and very cautious.

"My lord, this person has been in Dengzhou for more than ten years, and he was just an ordinary businessman in Dengzhou in the past." Wang Quan replied.

This is who is hitched on. Moreover, it is the sitting force of Dengzhou, not the governor of Denglai, the patrol of the sea road, the general army of Dengzhou and other officials, it should be the deputy of Denglai, or a gentry family with people in the court. Zhao Lie motioned for Du Quan to continue.

"We sent six groups of people to take turns to monitor Pang Cheng, and after two months of investigation, we found that this person had a close relationship with Yang Jingtang, the commander of the Denglai Dudu." Wang Quan said.

Zhao Lie narrowed his eyes, this Yang Jingtang still doesn't seem to give up, and the two families have indeed taken over the grudge.

"This Yang Jingtang's cousin is Yang Jinghui in the military selection division of the Ministry of War. This person is an old Beijing official, and he has served as a member of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War in the Six Ministries. He is deeply connected with each yamen in the six ministries, and he also makes a lot of nobles in Beijing. "This operation is very important, and the investigation of the Beijing Division is the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Department, and it took two months to find out.

Wu Xuan Division, of course Zhao Lie knows the power of this division, and the promotion and appointment of middle and lower-level military generals has a lot to do with this division, but it is a shortage of soldiers.

Yang Jinghui must be able to sit here and make a lot of money, of course, only by making more friends can he sit on these fat shortages, after all, the greater the power in his hands, the more people will be offended. This is a standard Jingshi head snake, he can eat well in Beijing and mix well, this is the conclusion that Zhao Lie gave him.

Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and a few months later Wei Gelding fell, and Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Denglai who was in the line of the eunuch party, naturally had no good fruit, and had already left his post, thinking that the Zhao family had no support, so the Yang family was very quiet.

Zhao Lie's order to the two of them was to stare at Yang Jingtang and Pang Cheng, and Yang Jinghui put them aside for the time being, after all, the Jingshi was a little far away from him, the guard officer of Denglai, and it should be the one who made the move.

After Zhao Lie rested on Shidao for one night, early the next morning, Zhao Lie and others rushed to Qianhusu.

In the cold winter, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ice and snow resounded throughout the field, and Zhao Lie and the others were all in armor, which made it even colder.

Zhao Lie found that some villages have basically built new houses with bricks and tiles, which shows that the life of the common people is indeed better, and he can't help but feel some pride.

Li Mingyu is listening to the reports of his subordinates today, the renovation of ditches in winter, the composting of acres of fields, and the purchase of grain are all over, and this year's life is better for thousands of households, most of the houses have been built last year, this year most of the military households have improved their food, bought some clothes and jewelry for their mothers-in-law, and many families have married their sons or daughters.

couldn't stand it, Mr. Li also participated in two weddings, both of which were married by the clerks below, and the wedding was very festive, but Mr. Li thought of his daughter and left early.

Hearing that Zhao Lie had arrived, Li Mingyu went out to greet him with mixed feelings.

"Don't dare Mr. Li go out to greet him." Zhao Lie helped Li Mingyu into the official office.

"Mr. Li, in the past few years, without Mr. Li sitting here, how can the kid go east and west, and Mr. will be worshiped by me." After sitting down, Zhao Lie got up and gave a deep salute.

"Don't dare to be, the old man is old, so he can only take care of the home." Li Mingyu said half-truthfully.

"Mr. Li is less than fifty years old this year, and he is in his prime, and I will have to rely on Mr. more in the future." Zhao Lie said with a smile, he didn't lie, after all, he was a junior brother in the Ming officialdom, and Li Mingyu, who had a good character and was familiar with general affairs, helped a lot.

"The adults have won the award, and I think the adults have been trained for a few years, and they are enough to be independent." Li Mingyu said with a smile. This is not a lie, Zhao Lie is twenty years old this year, after several years of experience, he is more calm, and his gestures show the bearing of the superior, which is not the same as the black boy a few years ago.

After a while, Deputy Qianhu Zhuying and others rushed over, and they didn't mention any greetings. (To be continued.) )
