Chapter 494: Site Selection

After Shen Yun returned to Zhuangzi, the first thing he did was to summon Elder Wu and ask if he could find a suitable place to build a horse farm around Zhuangzi.

He is very aware of Su Laosan's ability to do things. It won't be long before Su Laosan will definitely bring back a large group of good horses for him. Before that, Zhuangzi had no plans in this regard. Therefore, he had to hurry up and build a horse farm, lest he buy so many good horses and have nowhere to put them.

And at this time, the most powerful Zhao Xuan was left in the provincial capital by him, looking for a new way to make money. Among the elders in Zhuangzi, the only one who can help him come up with ideas is Elder Wu.

"Horse farm?" Elder Wu was stunned, and said in his heart: What did the lord go out this time, what did he go through?

In three years, this is the first time he has seen his lord say that wind is rain. Forgive him for not being able to pick it up for a while.

"Hmm!" Shen Yun rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "I want to set up an iron cavalry to better take care of the family." ”

Elder Wu was full of black lines, and he said again in his heart: Which family is guarding the home with an iron horse? The lord must have another plan.

Suddenly, he found that the young man in front of him had become a little different from before after going out this time.

What's the difference?

He habitually reached for his beard......

"Elder Wu?" Seeing this, Shen Yun knew what this person was going to ponder in his heart again—according to his observations, Elder Wu didn't know that he had a small movement of his own, that is, when he was thinking about things in his heart, he would always reach out and brush the few sparse whiskers on his chin.

Elder Wu instantly came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "The lord wants to build a horse farm, but this time he went out and found a suitable horse source?"

He has never opened a horse farm, but he has never eaten pork, can he still see a pig run?

The prince of Xiandu likes to raise spiritual pets. High-level spiritual pets often become status symbols. Attracted ordinary people to follow suit. However, how can a mere mortal have the ability to make the spirit beast surrender? As a result, many wealthy families in the immortal capital retreated to the second best thing and chose to raise horses. In the southern suburbs, the horse farms are next to each other.

He himself is very fond of horses. It's a pity that with his family background, he wants to go to the southern suburbs to open a horse farm, which seems a little thin. I can only go to the southern suburbs from time to time to play for a few days to see other people's horse farms and handsome horses.

He's a brain-wielding man himself. Over time, it is natural to see some doorways to run a racecourse.

Among them, the fertile and wide grassland, strong financial resources, excellent horse sources, and good stewardship are all necessary conditions for running a horse farm and are indispensable.

In his opinion, it seems that the lord only has the second condition at present.

This area was originally a grain-producing area where mountains and rivers depended on each other. The condition of a fertile and wide meadow is not difficult to come by.

The third and fourth conditions are difficult. These two things, for those who are new to the racecourse, need money, and a lot of money, and at the same time, they also need connections and luck.

When he first came to Lingzhou, he knew very little about the lord's understanding of this realm.

Since the lord has come to him for counseling, he must speak up. As for building cavalry...... There is no horse farm, this matter is still a little far away, don't worry.

Shen Yun knew that he was not wrong, and said with a smile the origin of Su Laosan, and said, "I have ordered them to buy good horses." They have always been neat and tidy, and it doesn't take much time. So, find the right place as soon as possible. I think you're a knowledgeable person. In this surrounding area, can you think of a good place to build a horse farm?"

Elder Wu was embarrassed: "It's because I'm too lazy and not very familiar with the surrounding situation. ”

"How long have you been here? It's normal to be unfamiliar with your surroundings. Shen Yun clapped his hands and said, "The location of the racecourse is urgent. In this way, you put aside the chores at hand for the time being, and leave the important things to the right people to do for you. Take three days to free and go around with me to see if you can find the right place. ”

The patriarch's jade slip talks about instruments, couples, wealth, law, etc., but there is no content about running a horse farm. And he himself only knows how to look at feng shui, and he really doesn't know anything about how to choose the address of the horse farm. can only rely on Elder Wu.

"Yes. Elder Wu happily received the order.

In his opinion, this is definitely a good errand: first, he can share the worries of the lord and get in touch with the lord more, and second, he can finally live the addiction of running a horse farm.

Both of them were people with storage bags, and they always had a change of clothes, food, and so on. Yes, just go.

Horse farms are inseparable from water. It just so happens that there is a river in this area, called the Hongshui River. Elder Wu suggested that he might as well walk along the Hongshui River first to see if he could choose a valley on both sides of the river to be used as a horse farm.

Because Zhuangzi happened to be in the middle of the Hongshui River, he turned out the map and proposed a specific route to find it: first go upstream along the Hongshui River on this side of the river. After searching for a hundred miles, if there is no suitable place, cross the river, go down the river from the other side of the river, and continue to search. In the same way, after passing Zhuangzi, I will find Bailaili. If there is still no suitable place, cross the river again, come back to this side, turn back, and look up.

After speaking, he added: "I think the horse farm should not be too far away from Zhuangzi. It is more suitable to build within a radius of more than 100 miles. ”

There are a lot of considerations here. However, he felt that with the wisdom of the lord, it was not difficult to think of it. There is no need for him to bother with his lips and tongue, and break it one by one.

Sure enough, Shen Yun nodded in agreement: "It's up to your route." ”

The two went to the Hongshui River and headed upstream.

This area is mountainous. Along the way, whenever they saw a valley, a flat land, or a ravine, they had to go in and inspect it.

It was a pity that they all had problems of one kind or another, which made Shen Yun and Elder Wu not very satisfied. For example, there is a valley where the place is big enough, but the wind is strong and the forage is thinner, there is a ravine with abundant water and grass, which is good for feeding pigs, but if you feed the horses, there is no place for horses, and there is another place where all the conditions are met, but it is a village of about 100 people.

In this way, it took the two of them almost two days to walk out of the river for hundreds of miles.

It was really said by Elder Wu before, there is no suitable place.

"Look, my lord, there's a ship there. Elder Wu raised his eyes to look further upstream, and found that there was a small awning boat moored far ahead.

At this point, the river narrows by almost half. It's a pity that with his light skills, he still can't wade across the river. He couldn't swim and had to rely on boats to cross the river.

And after they passed the small village just now, they did not expect that the remaining nearly 30 miles of river banks were not inhabited.

The awning boat that was quietly moored on the shore turned out to be the only means they could find to cross the river at this time.

Shen Yun also saw the ship, his heart moved, and he released his divine sense to investigate.

This time he explored, but his expression changed greatly.
