Although the Cao family is low-key, and even the decoration of the house is quite rustic, but to be able to have such a large house on the bustling West Street, the capital will definitely not be less. What's more, the Cao family is still in the jade business, this business is not like selling vegetables and buns, there is no longer a small amount of capital that needs to be invested, and the people in contact are all high-ranking officials.

It is necessary to find a suitable way to approach Jiang Wenshan in order to find out the truth about what happened nineteen years ago.

Although what he knows now is only a few words, but Fang Ling is sensitive to a trace of conspiracy, in the past three years, he has not stayed in vain in the fiefdom, using the trade organization of the fief to form a huge intelligence network, from the mouths of merchants and officials from all over the country to obtain all kinds of information, including the king of Yizhou.

There are more than a dozen fiefs of the princes that still exist in the Chu State, and the eastern land accounts for almost half, among which the king of Yizhou is the strongest and has become the head of the kings, and the king of Yizhou is obviously quite ambitious, and he is developing military forces in a big way, and the troops in the territory are strong and strong.

In the evening, everyone sat down in the hall, the table was full of sumptuous dinner, Cao Yaode smiled: "Our eastern land, there is not much else, that is, all kinds of aquatic products are very rich, although there are rivers in the north, but the variety of fish is estimated not as many as we here." Fang Gongzi, you try this steamed redtail fish, don't look at the simple ingredients, this fish is a tribute ordered by the emperor, only in this foggy river, after a dozen salvage, it must be sent to the imperial city with the river water quickly, and the time does not exceed three days. ”

Growing up in the palace since childhood, although the food is all leftovers and cold burning, Fang Ling is no stranger to redtail fish, he picked it up and tasted it, it was really tender and fat, although the materials were not as particular as the palace, but the taste was not much inferior.

While eating, Cao Yaode said again: "I don't know what kind of horses are raised in the horse farm of Fang Gongzi's family?"

Fang Ling said with a smile: "Most of them are northern horses, but there are also southern horses, plateau horses and grassland horses. ”

Cao Yaode couldn't help but feel a little envious: "With so many kinds of horses living together, the crossbred horses must be very powerful, right?"

Fang Ling smiled lightly: "It is difficult to train horses, it is difficult to move horses, it is not as difficult as the improvement of horse breeds, different horses want to cross to produce excellent offspring, not only the procedure is very complicated, but it is not easy to gather excellent bloodlines together." ”

Cao Yaode nodded again and again: "Fang Gongzi is right, in fact, there are various types of horses in my house, and I have also crossed a lot of horses, but they are not as powerful as stallions." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "Each horse has its own characteristics, and each kind of horse has different branches according to the distribution area, and there are certain differences in bloodline, to produce a good next generation, it is not a one-time thing, although the first generation of horses crossed looks worse than stallions, but perhaps the third generation of breeding horses can give full play to the advantages of the first generation." ”
