Chapter 566: Guanwai Horse Farm

Since the kiss on the day of the ceremony, Yu Xiaocao found that Zhu Junyang's guy has become more and more clingy.

The firearms battalion of the Xishan battalion has begun to take shape, and there is the emperor, a firearms enthusiast in his previous life, whether it is the production of muskets or the development of red-coated cannons, they are all being carried out in an orderly manner. The Xishan Firearms Battalion under King Yangjun was basically equipped with one musket per person and one cannon per thousand households.

After handing over the training of the firearms battalion to Dong Dali, who had already shown the temperament of a sharpshooter, Zhu Junyang became the shopkeeper and took on the task of escorting the little daughter-in-law to various royal breeding farms.

At this time, both the royal breeding farms in the Gyeonggi region and the Yujia farms in Tanggu had already been formalized. The breeding farms in the Gyeonggi area, divided into four large farms, have been supervised by the emperor's cronies in the past, and have been trying for two years, and the breeding farms have been familiar with the process of cultivation from top to bottom.

There is the management of the farm, and it is found that the seeds sent by Lord Yu are not much different from the seeds produced by the farm. So he tried to carve out a piece of land and cultivate it with the seeds he produced. By harvest time, there was not much difference in yield.

But after the seeds of this land were sold, the following year, the local government received a letter from the common people, saying that a certain seed store sold fake and shoddy seeds, and the grain seeds they bought were one or two hundred catties lower than that of the next village. One or two hundred catties of grain is more important than the lives of the common people. Isn't it harmful to sell fake seeds?

The difference in the yield of grain seeds bought in the same government-run seed shop has to make some people question. After inspection, it was found that the seeds that had reduced the yield were grain seeds grown from seeds that had not passed through the hands of Yu Daren.

A so-called "insider" reported that Yu Daren would use a homemade potion every time he breeded, which not only had a high yield but also prevented pests and diseases. As a result, some well-intentioned people pondered the secret recipe for forcing Yu Xiaocao to hand over the potion, and the "lawsuit" even reached the emperor.

The emperor knew the details of Xiaocao very well, so he found an excuse to help Xiaocao block back. However, it is not always a problem to go on like this. After all, the small mending stone will return to the space that belongs to it, and at that time, won't the output of grain be "once returned to the pre-liberation period"?

In private, the emperor asked Xiaocao to try to cultivate real high-yield grain, and also asked the Ministry of Industry to conduct research on cultivation equipment. Examples include seeders, harvesters, and threshers.

When she learned from Xiao Tianshi, when its mana was restored to its heyday, it would help her improve the genes of the seeds and give birth to a real yield of more than 1,000 catties of wheat per mu. With its guarantee, Yu Xiaocao is not in a hurry. After all, she is not a real farmer, and she can't be a character like Yuan Longping. All she could rely on was the cheat of the Little Mending Stone.

"Girl, this autumn corn has also been harvested, and winter wheat has been planted, is it time to fulfill what you promised before, to help your master domesticate a good horse?" After Zhu Junyang got on track in the firearms battalion, he began to ponder his cavalry battalion again.

The cavalry is agile and mobile, and has a strong impact effect. In Zhu Junyang's view, it is imperative for Daming to build his own cavalry battalion. The mobility of the cavalry can ensure that the army can quickly pursue, encircle, sneak attack and rush to help. The shock power of the cavalry can effectively deal with the more poorly equipped infantry phalanx. Because the cavalry and horses quickly rushed into the enemy camp, it could effectively destroy the enemy's formation, and its momentum when galloping could also break the morale of the enemy. Cavalry is a nightmare for infantry.

The nomads in the north of the Ming Dynasty are extremely fierce, and they are all good at cavalry, fighting in the vast grasslands, and the advantage of cavalry is obvious. The Ming army suffered losses from the enemy's cavalry, more than once or twice. Especially after the winter, for the sake of food and materials, the enemy's cavalry used guerrilla warfare, burned and looted in a place, and quickly evacuated, and after the Ming army rushed over, only the broken walls and corpses were left in the village. The army at the border pass hated the cavalry of the other side to the bone.

There are also generals who want to build a cavalry team of their own, but where do the cavalry horses come from? The Guanwai people will definitely not sell good horses to the Ming army and let them deal with themselves. Some horse farms in Kannai have uneven horses, and they can't be compared with those horse nomads. If you forcibly build up cavalry, you will have to follow the opponent and eat dust because of the horses.

Zhu Junyang has long been greedy for Xiaocao's love horse Xiaohong. He specially invited someone who was good at Soma to inspect Xiaohong's breed, but the results were inconclusive. Many Soma masters say that Xiaohong's breed should be a very common Kannai hybrid breed, commonly known as bad horses, which are generally used to pull carts and transport goods. I don't know how the owner raised it, and raised a bad horse to a realm comparable to a good horse. If it weren't for the identity of the king of Yangjun, those masters of Soma would definitely chase after his ass and ask what kind of feed the horses were raised.

Zhu Junyang is even more sure that Xiaocao must have a way to turn a bad horse into a good horse. Of course, if Xiaocao is unwilling to divulge her secret, he will definitely not force her. Big deal, he took a team of elite soldiers from the firearms battalion and infiltrated the enemy camp to steal horses.

However, it was really the little girl he fancied, he just mentioned it to her, and the little girl readily agreed. However, Xiaocao emphasized that raising a divine horse is all the credit of him and the horse feeder he hired. Zhu Junyang was also willing to help the little girl cover up, and specially selected two people who could raise horses from the secret guards, claiming to be horse trainers invited from outside the customs with high salaries.

On this day, the sky is clear, the sun is beautiful and the wind is light. The king of Yangjun received the decree and took two "masters" who were proficient in raising and taming horses and went to the direction of Guanwai.

In the past two years, the firearms battalion has participated in several tasks to suppress bandits and help the border, and all of them have been successfully accomplished, and they have achieved the feat of taking down three enemy cities without injuring a single soldier. It can be said that whether it is tactics or marksmanship, the soldiers and generals of the firearms battalion have played to the fullest. In the court, even the generals who did not deal with the king of Yangjun admired his training skills.

When he impassionedly stated the superiority of the cavalry and proposed the construction of a royal horse farm in the Northland, there was silence in the court. You know, is the horse farm so easy to build? Is it enough to be a good horse breeder? Where do good stallions come from? Many people think that King Yangjun's decision is too hasty, and they are waiting to see his jokes!

But the emperor was quite optimistic about him, because when Xiaocao entered the palace to greet the queen two days ago, he asked him for a will, saying that he wanted to help Zhu Junyang go to build a horse farm outside the gate. With Xiaocao's golden finger, Zhu Junfan is looking forward to the construction of the horse farm.

If the Ming Dynasty has a well-equipped cavalry and is equipped with muskets, it will definitely be invincible! Every man has the dream of making a contribution, and every emperor hopes to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Zhu Junfan was excited, and immediately approved Xiaocao's entourage, and sent Su Ran's general manager over as a supervisor.

Therefore, when I set off, there were more beautiful men in the team who thought that they were fluttering in white clothes and had an outstanding appearance. With such an eye-catching person here, Xiaocao is happy, but Zhu Junyang is not happy. Originally, the sweet journey of two people, with an extra light bulb that brightens the eyes of the blind, no man will be happy.

The emperor also assigned a team of the Xishan Firearms Battalion to be responsible for the guarding of the horse farm. Although after several big battles, some tribes outside the pass are more honest, but the horse farm is built at the border pass, so as to prevent those guys who are not of my race from doing evil.

The two-person trip that Zhu Junyang is looking forward to has now become a mighty team, with more lice and no itching, and more light bulbs. However, the little girl in his family, smiling like a flower at the beautiful dead eunuch, made him extremely unhappy.

Do you want to use the excuse of fighting to fight with that dead eunuch? However, if she loses the fight, what will the little girl think of him? Alas! Forget it, he endures! When he wasn't sure enough to win against Mr. Su, he had to practice ninjutsu at home!

"Mr. Su, try the flying dragon soup I cooked! Today, I was lucky to hunt a flying dragon, and they all said that dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground, this flying dragon soup is really delicious! When he was sleeping in the mountains and forests, Yu Xiaocao gave Su Ran a bowl of soup and sent it to him, smiling and admiring the beautiful man's meal, which was really pleasing to the eye!

"Cao'er, you also want to drink Feilong soup......" The cold and clear King Yangjun turned into a big dog begging his master to pet at this time, and begged Xiaocao for soup to drink.

Yu Xiaocao didn't even give him a look, and directly threw him a sentence: "It's in the pot, go and serve it yourself!" Mr. Su, how does it taste? I'm pretty good at my craft, right? ”

Su Ran's handsome smile was a little warmer, and he bowed his head slightly: "The flying dragon meat is delicious, the cooking technique is just right, it complements each other, and the taste is excellent!" ”

The vinegar jar in Zhu Junyang's heart overturned, staring at the handsome face of Su Ran, and he had to admit in his heart that this dead eunuch was really good-looking, especially when he had a gentle smile, giving people a warm feeling. This is exactly the type that little girls like! At the same time, he shamelessly rejoiced, fortunately Su Ran was a eunuch, otherwise he was not sure that his little girl would not empathize.

"Girl, you're too different, aren't you? The flying dragon is hunted by the master, the hair is plucked by the master, and the fire is burned by the master...... He didn't do anything, but he sat back and enjoyed it. If you want to drink a bowl of soup, you have to make it yourself! It's not fair!! Zhu Junyang's phoenix eyes added a trace of injury, and Jun's face was pitiful.

Su Ran glanced lightly at Zhu Junyang, who was "begging for appeasement", and laughed so much that his intestines were almost knotted, watching King Yangjun drink vinegar every day, and even eat two more bowls of rice!
