Chapter 1242 1242
Then he helped the Ulle tribe to protect their whole clan, and Ulle gave the best ten horses in the clan as a token of gratitude. These are opportunities that cannot be repeated. Even if these twenty horses were purchased through normal channels, they would have to come up with three or four hundred thousand taels of silver. He didn't have so much silver, and it took him more than ten years to put in more than 200,000 taels.
Today there are about 200 horses on the farm. Twenty peerless horses, then one hundred and eighty first-class horses. A hundred or so were domesticated by wild horses. Domesticated wild horses can only be used for combat horses after at least three generations, and it will take at least ten years.
Domesticated wild horses are just that, and they can always be obtained with some manpower, material and financial resources. Those 180 first-class horses cost 200,000 or 300,000 taels, and maybe they can be bought again slowly. But unless those twenty peerless horses are defeated by Xiling and the mutual market, where can they be obtained through normal channels? There is no better horse in Ulle. He knew that he couldn't keep it in his hands, so he couldn't bear to cut his love to himself. Moreover, the remaining good manas are also the foundation of the Ul tribe, where can he grab them?
Chu Lao also has some empathy for Ling Jingshan's pain, and he is also a horse lover. Moreover, Ling Jingshan was bent on raising a large number of good horses and equipping them with cavalry to improve his combat effectiveness, which he also admired. It's just, "General, the old man is already old and crippled, I'm afraid I can't help it." You have come from afar, and please rest in the humble house. ”
Unable to convince Chu Lao, Ling Jingshan was quite disappointed. He still wanted to make the last effort and refused to give up.
That night, he stood on the side of the mountain and thought about the hard work he had spent for the horse farm for more than ten years, and he really had the idea of breaking me up one day. This horse farm has placed too many hopes on him, and now it is all empty?
Thinking of Liujia's Mingjing who is waiting to give birth, I'm afraid it will make her difficult to be stable at this time. Because of him, it was really difficult for her to conceive a baby this October.
A wheelchair sounded, and Chu Lao's voice said behind him: "The general is still thinking about those horses?" ”
"I'm thinking about the horse, and I'm thinking about my wife. My wife was more than nine months pregnant, and she was disturbed a lot by me when the fetus was still unstable. I thought that she could be by her side when she gave birth so that she could have a baby in peace, but suddenly it happened again. ”
"Is this a natural disaster?"
"No, **."
"Xiling people?" The people of Xiling knew that there was such a horse farm, and it was General Ling's, so they would definitely do everything possible to sabotage it.
Ling Jingshan hid his face and laughed, and his tears burst out of his eyes for a long time, "No, from the Celestial Empire." A high-ranking official of the Celestial Empire, a supreme minister. ”
Chu Lao exclaimed: "Ye Zude? ”
"That's him."
Why is he like this? He is in his position, and he will never do such a thing to fund the enemy country. ”
"He has a personal vendetta against me. The matter is about the reputation of the late father, but it doesn't make much sense to keep it a secret now. It's going to be a big fuss in the future. Ye Zude started from the Yue family, so he didn't dare to take concubines at will. One of his women conceived his son and married my son. killed my mother, not to mention, but also framed me for losing my fame and continuing to gain fame. I had no choice but to join the army. Later, the two of them exchanged letters and revealed the life story of the illegitimate son, and they were so angry that their father died. The woman was forced to death by her mother's family and wanted me to be angry. The father and son took their revenge on me. Now they're the first to strike. ”
