Liang Xun thought for a moment and said: "When Ye Qingchen talked about the disadvantages of the government's horse breeding, he pointed out that the pastoral supervisors occupy too much land, and the average area of each horse is about 250 mu, which is equivalent to the cultivated land to feed eight to ten households. In addition, the cost of raising a horse is enough for two households, and if the cost of a soldier is purely compared, the cost of raising a cavalryman is equivalent to six infantrymen, but it is worth it in terms of the effect of war.

Later, Wang Anshi proposed the horse protection law, abolishing the horse herding to supervise the raising of horses in the people, according to the data of Xining eight years, the cost of farmers to raise horses is 13 taels per horse, and Ye Qingchen proposed that the horse husbandry supervisor cost 500 taels per horse, and the purchase price of horses in the northwest was 25 taels that year. Later, when the two years of Xuanhe were abolished, there were still 90,000 horses in the pastoral supervisors, of which 20,000 were robbed by the Jin people outside Kaifeng City.

The most important thing is horse feed. Raising horses requires two kinds of feed, concentrate is millet, wheat, etc., roughage is hay, usually obtained from the field; and with the population of the Central Plains soaring, the field decreases, and the acquisition of hay will become difficult, so the more farmland, the less space for horses to live, no one to buy grass to raise horses. However, at present, everything is for the sake of war, and if there are no conditions, we must create conditions, and I will prepare for the preliminary work. ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said, "So I would like to suggest to Taiyuan that the horse prison be reopened in Fenyuan, and that horses be raised with oats and alfalfa, at the same time as our Gyeonggi Road, and that the cultivation of oats, alfalfa, and black beans be started in Henan Province, and that these two areas be selected." Hurry up and start recruiting pastoral officials, both the military and the people, and look for people who know how to do it, and if you have everything, even if we go back and forth to the Loop, we can quickly find an area to be a pastoral supervisor. ”

Yang Zhi has a spectrum in his heart, in history, British farmers generally raised horses, that is, oats, and the Central Plains horse breeding only did not pay attention to these two things, and it was almost in the Qing Dynasty that black beans and alfalfa began to raise horses. Lu Yihao's heart was shocked, Yang Zhi didn't seem to have full confidence in staying in Gyeonggi Road, Lu Yihao thought about it and said: "Yes, alfalfa is easy to grow, you can choose to plant a little more in the wasteland, oats and black beans are planted a little less in Gyeonggi Road." ”

The matter of raising horses was decided, Lu Yihao and the three left one after another, Yang Zhi actually felt a little tired, leaned back in the chair and fell into contemplation, Song Ruwei later came to see Yang Zhi alone, and said to Yang Zhi that the real purpose of Du Shiliang's trip to Jinying was to see if there was any possibility of Song Jin negotiating peace. Therefore, after Du Shiliang met with Yang Pu in Youzhou, he did not go to Liaoyang to visit Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, but hurried to Xuzhou with Gao Qingyi to meet Yan Zongwang to discuss the possibility of peace talks, and Wanyan Zongwang supported this idea very much.

Yang Zhi couldn't help but pat the armrest of the chair heavily, Wanyan Zongwang of course supported the peace talks, this is exactly the scene that the Jin people most want to see, and now the negotiations between the two sides will reach an agreement in accordance with the area under their actual control; after ten years and eight years of peace, Shandong and Hebei will be completely turned into the territory of the Jin State, and at the same time, the determination of the southward migrants to recover the Central Plains will be consumed, and there will be a great reversal in both human and material resources.

After Qin Hui proposed that "southerners go south, northerners go north", the Southern Song Dynasty did not trust the people who belonged to the north, and similarly, the people in the north did not insist on the orthodoxy of the Southern Song Dynasty as they did at the beginning after a period of recognition of the Jin regime, and there was no possibility of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition.

Yang Zhi believes that although Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu were reused by Wu Qimai, they may not forget the experience of being detained by Wu Qimai for a year. However, on the issue of dealing with the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Zhi believes that there will be no essential difference between the two sides, only a difference in means.

Yang Zhi will not take the initiative to meddle in these things, what he can do is to pay attention to this matter for a long time, because Yang Zhi believes that a good monk will be one of the variables. A person who takes the king as his ideal is almost impossible to change his ways, and a good monk will definitely find ways to provoke a fight between Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongpan for his own purposes, even if Wanyan Zongpan is a bigger person standing behind him, according to the character of a good monk, he will also calculate otherwise.

What Yang Zhi needs to do is to create opportunities for the good monks, attacking Kaide Mansion and other places is a strategy, but Yang Zhi needs another direction; the footsteps of Deng beggar came from outside the door, Deng beggar is now the big shopkeeper of the north-south line on the South Road, staying in Bianliang for a long time, responsible for the business from Taiyuan to Huaining Mansion, and there is no need to tell Yang Zhi to enter and exit here. Deng beggar has seen many big people in the hotel in Chaolong, and the business is booming.

Deng beggar came to deliver the letter, and with the loss of the Tiande Army and Jinsu Prefecture, Hedong lost a section of the road directly to the Western Regions. The money bank business set up in Taiyuan was reduced by half all of a sudden, but fortunately, the shareholders were all high-powered people, and Zhao Kai's letter was just to ask Yang Zhi to think of another way to make money, after all, the household department looked at the Dingbei Army differently, and it couldn't be robbed, so there was always a little extra subsidy. Yang Zhi said with a smile: "You treat me as the God of Wealth, I even handed over the glass business, and now it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." ”

"I understand. Deng beggar sat down on the chair next to him and said, "But you also understand that King Yun still wants us to travel north and south to subsidize it." I told Cao Qianli, he has no choice, and now he can't interfere in the glass business, but he heard some news from Cao Wanchu, so the transfer department is also short of money now. Are we now expanding our business to Runzhou?"

The business of the north-south line is definitely not more than the area under the management of the Dingbei Army, and no matter how big and profitable the business outside the area is, it will not be touched. Don't say that Deng beggar and others can't figure it out, even people like Li Guang criticize it, Yang Zhi is too cautious. Yang Zhi still shook his head, he heard a dangerous sign from the news of the beggar Deng.

The glass business was originally to subsidize the transshipment department, and Yang Zhi handed it over, but now it is obvious that it has become Zhao Kai's inner treasury; I haven't heard that Zhao Kai has any special hobby of spending money, Taiyuan has not overhauled the palace or anything, and Zhao Kai wants so much money to do. Since Cao Qianli deliberately confided in the rumor, it must have been Cao Qianli who heard some kind of rumor, except for the Cao family brothers, Tan Zhi is seriously ill, Master Tianxin doesn't care, who will handle Zhao Kai's affairs?

Zhao Duofu, Zong Muyue, Yang Zhi suddenly understood.
