"Please punish this madman severely!"

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were full of reading history books, thinking that they were righteous men and gentlemen, and their faces were flushed, and they angrily reprimanded Pang Jizu.

Pang Jizu was taken aback when he saw the anger of the hundred officials, his face changed greatly, and he was speechless to explain.

Fan Zheng was full of black lines, so he had to go up to relieve Pang Jizu and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. Artificial insemination is not so, but ................... ”

When Fan Zheng explained in detail to the court officials the process and advantages of artificial insemination of stallions.

The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and their faces were flattering, but in the vertical arch hall, their hundred officials openly talked about the artificial insemination of the male horse and mare, which was really indecent.

"This is an evil recipe!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, Pang Jizu is simply better than the blue, more evil than Fan Zheng's evil side, and obscene.

The court officials nodded approvingly. What the hell is wrong with the doctor, there are many evil prescriptions, and one prescription is worse than the other!

"This method is evil! However, the effect is immediate, which can not only save a large number of stallions, but also allow good horses to spread widely and breed, and within ten years, it will definitely make Ma Zheng prosper. Pang Jizu assured.

The court and hundreds of officials pondered one after another, the Great Song Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, there is no grassland, and there are natural disadvantages in raising horses.

Zhao Xu looked around at the ministers, and the ministers nodded silently, acquiescing to the evil recipe for raising horses in the vein of veterinarians.

"Message: Feng veterinarian Pang Jizu is the judge of the herd husbandry department, in charge of the breeding of war horses in the world." Zhao Xu ordered directly.

The judge of the Qunmu Division is a six-rank official, and Pang Jizu is a doctor from Tai, so he can directly hold this important position, which shows how urgent Zhao Xu's heart is to restore Ma Zheng.

"Thank you, official."

Pang Jizu said in ecstasy.

He specializes in veterinary medicine, and I don't know how many people secretly ridicule him, but now he is running from time to time, and he is directly promoted to the rank of six-rank official when he joins Ma Zheng, which will definitely make the people who laughed at him regret it at the beginning.

Baiguan also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally solved the problem of Ma Zheng's henchman.

However, Fan Zheng once again said amazingly:

"Please forgive Weichen's wild words! Even if the Great Song Dynasty has the evil formula of artificial insemination, it is still difficult to prosper Ma Zheng. ”

In an instant, the vertical arch hall was in an uproar.

Da Song finally got the evil recipe for raising horses, and was about to show his skills, but suddenly Fan Zheng poured a basin of cold water on him.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Why did Fan Aiqing say this? ”

"Because of the pastoral system!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu frowned suddenly and looked at the hundred officials.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of war horses, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Great Song Dynasty had 200,000 war horses, and now the Great Song Dynasty only has war horses reduced by nearly half, plus buying horses from Tubo and other places for many years, why is there such a gap?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

The Manchu officials suddenly looked embarrassed, without him! Just because it costs too much money to raise horses, the price of a war horse cultivated by the Great Song Dynasty is at least about 100 guan, and the price of buying a Qingtang war horse is only about 500,000 guan, which is also the reason why the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are reluctant to raise horses.

"During the Zhenzong period! Prime Minister Xiang Minzhong said that the national horses were twice as large as those of the previous dynasties, and the vast expenses were extensive, and the edict was sold at the valuation of military horses over thirteen years old. ”

"There are five hundred and sixty-two stallions and mares in Raozhou pasture, and only three hundred and fifteen have survived in a few years, and seven out of twenty have made foals."

"There are 1,000 horses in Zhenjiang Ranch, and only 20 horses have been born in more than ten years, which is almost deserted."

"The court stipulates that horse officials must be transferred after three years of service, so who will raise horses with their hearts."

Fan Zheng counted the shortcomings of the pastors and supervisors of the court, and the faces of the old party were extremely embarrassed, and the people of the new party immediately gloated.

On the contrary, Fan Zheng did not let go of the New Party, and said bluntly:

"During the period of Shenzong, the court changed the law to implement the horse protection law, and even abolished eight pastoral supervisors in a row."

"The implementation of the horse protection law has increased the burden on horse households, and the horse households have complained, and the number of war horses has suffered heavy losses."

The New Party officials were immediately embarrassed.

"The root cause of the great Song Dynasty's horse politics is not in horses, but in people, which is a man-made disaster."

Fan Zheng was unceremonious, and directly faced the new party and the old party officials.

The Great Song Dynasty was not prosperous, and both the new party and the old party were duty-bound.

The official horse breeding has spent a lot of money with little success, and everyone opposes the horse protection law, and the war horses have suffered heavy losses.

Zhang Dian said with a displeased face: "In this way, Master Fan has a good strategy for raising horses. ”

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Not bad!" If the Great Song Dynasty wants Ma Zheng to prosper, in addition to artificial insemination, there is another way, that is, to lure each other! ”

"Elixir temptation?" Zhang Duan frowned.

"Since the imperial court is willing to spend money to buy horses from Tubo Qingtang, and even buy horses from Dali, why is it unwilling to buy horses from the people?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Lu Dafang sneered and said: "The people don't have horses in their hands at all!" And if you don't want to raise horses, where can you buy horses? ”

"The people are reluctant to raise horses, because raising horses is unprofitable, the Great Song Dynasty spends more than 100 guan to raise a horse, if the court announces that 100 guan buys a qualified war horse, Fan can guarantee it, not to mention 200,000, it is 300,000 war horses, and there is everything." Fan Zheng scoffed.

"No! The war horse is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be pinned on the people. Lu Dafang objected categorically.

Ma Zheng is not just a matter of money, once the officials of Ma Zheng buy all the horses, how will so many officials related to Ma Zheng be placed, not to mention that the interests involved in Ma Zheng are unknown, and the old party is naturally unwilling to give up.

Zhang Dian frowned and said: "The ministers are also opposed, the imperial court is already financially tight, how can there be any spare money to spend money to buy war horses." ”

All of a sudden, the officials of the old and new parties spoke out in unison.

Fan Zheng continued: "Since this is the case, then the government and the private sector are both run at the same time, and the imperial court specializes in operating high-quality large-scale pastures, and all the small pastures that are loss-making and expensive are transferred to the private sector, and a certain number of qualified war horses need to be handed over every year, and the surplus good horses are bought and sold by themselves." ”

Zhang Dun's heart moved, a small pasture is a chicken rib for the imperial court, if it can be handed over to the private sector, in exchange for a steady stream of war horses, it will naturally kill two birds with one stone.

"At the same time, encourage the people to raise horses, artificial insemination of the evil recipe, the quality of horses will be greatly improved, the ranch produced by the young horse iron as a seal, sold to the people at a low price, in the future to develop a high price recycling, not to mention the high price of 100 yuan, is 60 yuan a horse, as long as the horse household is profitable, naturally enthusiastic to raise horses."

"In this way, the three policies of government, private and horse households are parallel, and the benefits are lured and then assisted by the veterinarian, and the Great Song Dynasty horse government will be prosperous." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this policy?" Zhao Xu looked around the court and asked.

Baiguan thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

"You can give it a try!"

Lu Dafang nodded solemnly,

Originally, the imperial court was not worried about the private horses, but now there is an evil recipe for artificial insemination, and the reproduction of war horses is guaranteed.

Zhang Dian nodded helplessly, this policy is indeed better than the horse protection law, it will not arouse public resentment, and it can ensure that the war horses are sufficient, the only drawback is that the people have to spend a lot of money to buy horses.
