Chapter 418: Horse Farm
"Good! Miss Mei'er's food is really indescribably good! ”
"I can't describe it, it's not yet systematic! Brother Prince, I will work hard! Wu Mei'er smiled.
"Where, where!"
"Brother Prince, try Mei'er's winemaking skills again!" Wu Meier said and poured Wang Siying a glass of rice wine.
"Good!" Wang Siying drank it all.
"Giggles! Brother of the eldest prince, I still don't want you to evaluate the craftsmanship of the slave family! Wu Meier smiled and picked up the wine jug to fill the wine, did not hand the cup to Wang Siying, but picked up the cup herself, took a small sip, swallowed it slowly for a while, closed her eyes slightly, and only opened her mouth after a while to exhale the wine! Then he pretended to open his eyes.
"Brother the eldest prince, rice wine should be drunk like this! What kind of wine are you, it's cow drinking! Wu Mei'er said and began to giggle again!
Looking at a beautiful woman like Wu Mei'er, who poured wine and drank wine for a while, her eyes were straight when she saw those big men who raised horses, and she swallowed her saliva in a big gulp! Fortunately, another beautiful woman poured their wine glasses full of wine, and they began to gulp down the wine, no longer spitting. Drinking wine that has never been drunk before, eating dishes that have never been eaten, both eyes are round, looking at Wu Meier for a while and looking at the beauties accompanying them for a while, this time they really didn't come in vain, adding a lot of jokes to their leisure time in the future!
Ma Qilong didn't have a gentlemanly tasting the wine in the cup like these subordinates, and looked at Wu Meier and Wang Siying who were laughing together from time to time.
Wu Meier called a few more beauties and sang a few songs to everyone until everyone was a little drunk.
"Uncle Ma, can we do it?" Wang Siying motioned to Ma Qilong, they still have business.
"Your Royal Highness, don't call me Uncle Ma in the future, it's a suspicion of bullying! Just call me Old Ma. ”
"Then I'll call you Big Brother Ma!"
"Then I'm disrespectful to the old horse!" Ma Qilong got up and saluted Wang Siying, and then said to everyone at the table: "Everyone is okay!" We're still on our way! ”
Everyone didn't say anything, they all put down their chopsticks and stood up.
"I don't know where the eldest prince's brother is going?"
"Go to the south of Shengjing City and look at the land!"
"Far away?"
"20~30 miles from the city!"
"I'm going too!" Without waiting for Wang Siying to answer, Wu Meier ran upstairs.
Wu Meier went upstairs, and Wang Siying settled the account with Xiao Er. These people only spent 30 gold coins after eating and playing, including a reward of 2 gold coins! Wang Siying has more than 45 million gold coins, so she can eat "Fair World" until the end!
Wang Siying and everyone came to the door, Ma Qilong and they had more than ten mules and donkeys, but there were no horses! A man who has been running a horse farm for 30 years can't even ride a horse, and I don't know whose fault it is! Wang Siying lowered her head and pondered!
"Wait for me!" Wu Mei'er changed into a standard thief light armor and ran over, looking at Wang Siying with a smile.
"Brother Ma, are there any extra horses?" Wang Siying pretended not to understand Wu Meier's smile.
"I have horses!" Wu Meier didn't bother Wang Siying and refused to ride on the same horse with her, and with a wave of her hand, Xiao Er led a tall black horse and came over.
"That's it! All the people are together! Let's go! Mazilon counted the number of people, and then he was the first to open the way in front.
Shengjing City at midnight was very quiet, and Wang Siying's miscellaneous team walked on the bluestone road with a crisp sound, which came far away! I don't know how much it will disturb my dreams!
Ma Qilong quickened his speed and rode the little donkey upside down, and the bell on the donkey also made a rhythmic sound. And all the people followed him, and ran on the deserted streets. On the contrary, the 2 tall horses look a little different, a little discordant!
It was nearly midnight, and the city gate was closed early, but in peacetime, the drawbridge was not pulled up, and the small corner gate was open day and night next to the city gate. They came to the Little Corner Gate and were stopped by the guards.
"Who are you?" The guards on duty stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"We are the people of the Great Prince! Brother Bing, can you make it convenient? Wu Mei'er stepped forward and handed the guard a gold coin.
"Since it's the Great Prince's person, let's hurry up!" The guards happily put away the money and shouted backwards, "Open the corner gate, and the prince will go out on patrol!" ”
The corner gate of Shengjing City is also very heavy, and it takes 4 strong soldiers to push it open!
As soon as the door opened, everyone began to "run wildly" again! The wild gallop of the donkey, for Wang Siying's white horse, is just a trot! There was nothing to say on the road, even Wu Meier had nothing to say.
The half moon in the sky is not covered by dark clouds, and it also illuminates the earth very brightly! After running for an hour, the front was white, and I heard the sound of rushing water.
"Great Prince, this is the Hunhe! On the other side of the Hunhe River is our ranch! Mazilon pointed to the other side of the river with the whip of the donkey.
There is no bridge over such a big river in the Northeast! The Tohoku is very seasonal, only July and August is the rainy season, the rainy season is concentrated, most of the rivers are overflowing, and any kind of bridge will be washed away, so no more bridges will be built. The other months are basically dry periods, the water is very shallow, there is no need to build bridges at all, and the rivers will freeze in the long winter of 6 months, and it is thick ice! Bridges everywhere! Throughout the history of the Northeast and the existing cultural relics and monuments, there are very few bridges! Big rivers like the Songhua River and Heilongjiang are ferried by boats! That's true in reality, and it's true in games! Ma Qilong led everyone to run southwest along the Hunhe River, and finally found a place where the river was wide and there were no rapids, and took the lead in entering the water. As the water rose, Mazilon's legs were wet! And those young people were already standing on the backs of donkeys, whistling and directing their mounts across the river!
Wang Siying and Wu Meier's horses are relatively tall, and they are not as embarrassed as those people! Just lift your feet up and your feet don't even leave the pedals! After crossing the river, Ma Qilong got off the donkey, shook off his wet clothes, and came to Wang Siying: "The eldest prince, this is our territory!" ”
Following Ma Qilong's fingers, Wang Siying saw an endless ... Dark! Why do you see darkness? If you go to the grassland in the middle of the night to have a look, you will know why Brother Umbrella said that Wang Siying saw the darkness!
"It's huge!" Wang Siying said, then why did Wang Siying say it was quite big? The mark on the title deed is bounded by the mountain, Wang Siying only sees the darkness, not the mountain, so it is very big!
"Let's go further on, and that's where we live." Mazilon pointed ahead.
After running for a while, I finally came to the living area that Mazilong said.
"We have a total of 4 living areas, and this is the closest one to Shengjing. We herd sheep and horses in rotational grazing, one pasture for 3 months, 4 places for exactly 1 year. One pasture for horses, and the other three for recuperation. ”
"How many horses can we have in this horse farm?" Wang Siying asked Ma Qilong.
"When I was young, I had 1 million good horses when I was at my peak! At that time, it was really grassy, and thousands of horses were galloping! There are thousands of horse trainers led by my father! Before Ma Qilong spoke, his eyes narrowed, and his face was full of pride and longing!
"It was also at that time that our Daliao cavalry galloped thousands of miles and showed our majesty! In exchange for decades of peace! ”
"And then?"
"Later, the Liao State implemented benevolent government and sent troops to stop plundering! As a result, generals and soldiers were tired of fighting, the treasury lost a large part of its revenue, and the demand for war horses plummeted! The impact on our horse farm was fatal! Back then, when horses were at their cheapest, a horse sold for only 1 and a half silver coins! A tall horse can't get 10 catties of horse meat! ”
Wang Siying sighed and didn't interject.
"We can't have no horses here now, can we?"
"Of course there are horses! But it can't be produced! We only have 2,000 of the best stallions right now! There are no mares, not even ponies! ”
"Why didn't you hand over that horse?" Wu Mei'er asked.
"Miss doesn't know, stallions can't go into battle!" Ma Qilong didn't continue to popularize the knowledge about stallions to Wu Meier, but until the point, Wu Meier's face was already red and couldn't be more red!
"Good! Brother Ma, if we have a stallion, there is hope! ”
"What do you mean by the eldest prince?" Ma Qilong and everyone looked at Wang Siying excitedly!
"Brother, take out the horse and hand it over to Brother Ma!"
