The excuse was very simple. Some Dawan people came all the way to Daxia to do business and sold a batch of Dawan horses. As a result, the horses were transferred to some scholar-bureaucrats several times.
These scholar-officials rode around on horseback, which made many scholar-officials jealous. As a result, in Daxia, such horses are now considered luxury cars and have become the standard equipment of the nobles.
When there is a market, there is a demand. Tian Zong revealed that his salary was too little and he wanted to make some extra money.
In fact, if Tian Zong's salary is based on the Xia Kingdom system, it is quite a lot, but if it is based on the Yuntong County system, the salary is basically the same as Chaoxian, or even a little less, but it can't support the many projects and various projects. Various subsidies and various rewards.
Although the rewards for each type of project are not many, the more projects there are, the more income will naturally increase.
There are catering subsidies, border defense rewards, and there are rewards during holidays. The most ridiculous thing is the high temperature subsidies and subsidies that I have never heard of.
In a word, if you work hard and don't step on the red line, you will get a lot of subsidies and allowances. If you don't get things done and make mistakes frequently, the various subsidies will be reduced accordingly. With this system, who dares not to be diligent and diligent? to do something?
When he learned that Tian Zong had used the Dayuan horse as a plaything for the nobles for his own selfish gain, the king of Shache Kingdom immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the seriousness of the matter, the king of Yarkand decided that it would be best for them to have a face-to-face conversation.
After thinking over and over again, Tian Zong decided to meet at the mutual market for the safety of the entire Taihuang County. However, considering that the other party was the king of a country, he also sent 500 cavalry to pick him up to show respect and protect his safety. .
After all, the Western Region is not a peaceful place, and there are people plundering from the trade routes everywhere.
After a lot of consultations, the King of Yarkand finally came. To be honest, if it was all about money, he would not be very interested.
What he wants is money and a large amount of goods. If there is a large amount of goods, he can trade with other countries in the Western Region, which will have unexpected benefits for improving national power.
"King, I don't know, is there any way to purchase Dawan horses in large quantities?"
"You don't know about Dawan horses. Although the country of Dawan is rich in Dawan horses, Dawan horses also have different breeds. Which one do you want?"
"Oh, also divided into categories?"
"That's natural."
The King of Yarkand Kingdom signaled to his subordinates, who immediately handed over the prepared size chart. Yarkand and Dawan were not far apart, and they didn't have much contact on weekdays, but at least there was no enmity, so they still knew each other somewhat.
According to his description, Dawan horses are also differentiated by breed. The average height is about 1.4 meters, while the highest quality ones are 1.6 meters or even 1.7 meters tall.
Tian Zong was stunned. He wanted to help, but there was not much preparation work. He obviously had his own thoughts on purchasing Dawan horses.
There are almost only two types of war horses currently used in Yuntong County. One is the Hequ horse. This horse is a hybrid horse. Unfortunately, it does not have good control. However, its height is about 1.4 meters, which is passable and can barely reach Yang Qian's standards. .
But most of them are grassland horses. They are only 120 cm tall and 135 cm tall. Their carrying ability is not very good. They usually only weigh 75 kg upwards. These are generally used in a mixture.
The Hequ horse has very good combat power, whether it is heavy riding or light riding, it is no problem. The disadvantage is that the cost of raising it is relatively high.
Prairie horses are better at running long distances, and they can get by quickly, but they can't afford to be cheap. Their food is very rough, and they never get sick. Even if the water they drink is slightly contaminated with feces, they don't get sick easily.
Therefore, the prairie horse is now the main war horse of the Yuntong frontier army.
But compared with the Dawan horse, it's far behind.
Of course, the Cui family's five BMWs are already considered one-in-a-million. According to their height, they can be regarded as alien species, so your Majesty will spare no effort to purchase them.
Thinking of this, Tian Zong of course wants the best and strongest horse. No matter what the statistics are, generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of tall horses will not be worse. It is just different in terms of endurance, speed and strength.
After this period of hard work, Tian Zong clearly felt an impulse, why can't we cultivate horse breeds ourselves?
Someone immediately contacted Xinhuo Academy, and the people from the farm said they were happy to take on the job. Moreover, Xia Guo was good at raising horses, and was only given a fief by Yanhuangzi. Naturally, he had good horse-raising skills.
Then we select some Huns women who are good at breeding war horses from the slave priests. Why do we need women? Because women have no sense of territoriality and weak racial awareness, which makes them easy to control, they directly package these talents and throw them to Taihuang County.
Yang Qian naturally agreed. Tian Zong's idea is very simple. Now we are not good at anything, we have money, and having money means being willful.
The king of Yarkand coveted Xia's products, so he used the products as bait to ask him to go to various countries in the Western Regions to purchase horse breeds.
Then a horse breed breeding base was established in Taihuang County. Tian Zong felt that as long as he persisted in breeding and coupled with good breeding talents, he would eventually be able to breed a war horse that meets the king's vision.
Yang Qian was angry for a long time because of the war horse.
After all, the characters in the TV series are all big horses. How awesome would the generals be when they ride on them? How handsome?
Just being handsome can kill your enemies.
But what about reality? A large area is full of mixed-haired horses, a bunch of rustic ones. Think about it, Yang Gan's exotic rhinoceros is 4.2 meters long, 2 meters high, and weighs four tons.
Such a large body, transformed by the violent blood pill, can run faster than a war horse.
With such a body shape, running vertically and horizontally among some 1.2-meter and 1.4-meter war horses is like a tank hitting a motorcycle, so Yang Gan dared to directly attack the opponent's military formation with one person and one horse.
Yang Gan also called Ling Ling to express his praise. Tian Zong's idea was very good, but he was often at a loss for horse breeds.
Yang Qian also added that some masters of horse racing can also participate. Only in this way can theory be combined with practice.
Tian Zong readily accepted.
Many people have no idea about raising horses. They think that as long as horses eat grass, they will be in good health.
This was a big mistake. Yang Qian only realized after raising his own horse that it was a gold-swallowing machine, so many war horses were driven to the grassland by him. The army also mainly uses grassland horses, which have too many advantages. Outstanding and cost-effective.
First of all, it is true that horses are herbivores, but their digestive ability is very weak because horses do not regurgitate like cows.
Therefore, it is impossible to feed a horse several times at a time without eating.
There are also similar records in history: "On February 2, the sixth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, the animal husbandry department set up an envoy, Chunze and various horse prisons. Every winter when the cold arrives and the spring grass has not come out, the horses are in the wild, and there are many horses because there is less grass. Causes emaciation.”
And when a horse is weak, it can't do any work. It can't even work, let alone fight.
Secondly, horses have huge appetites.
According to data on the agricultural situation in North China in the last century, the main forage for horses and mules in North China is corn leaves, and the annual demand for a horse is about 3,650 kilograms/head.
The feed for cattle is relatively broad, including wheat straw, sorghum stalks, and millet stalks, which is only 2,920 kilograms per year.
Although donkeys, like horses, do not chew cud, a donkey requires only 2,190 kilograms of fodder a year, which is much less than a horse.
Third, horses can't just eat grass, they also have to be fed grain, especially when doing heavy work, not to mention war horses. They have to be fed grain for almost "three meals a day", and even soybeans that ordinary people can't eat. Feed them plenty.
According to a rural survey of a province during the Republic of China, a donkey doing heavy work had to feed 3.6 tons of sorghum a year, and a horse had to feed more than three times as much as a donkey. Therefore, after the horse lost its military role, its historical mission was basically over. .
Fourth, in addition to the high cost of raising horses, even if they do not have heavy work, accidents will happen in peacetime. Without sufficient breeding knowledge, the mortality rate of foals is very high, and adult horses will also suffer from various diseases. problems, causing injury, disability, and death.
Furthermore, raising horses requires a large amount of land. The pastoral minister of the Song Dynasty said: "The horse farm has more than 48,000 hectares of grassland. Now with 50,000 horses as the rate, one horse covers an area of 50 acres."
Fifty acres of land is almost equivalent to an upper-middle-class family of five.
Therefore, private horse breeding is limited to imagination. People who can raise horses are definitely not ordinary people, except for some special industries.
In a word, poor people are not worthy of raising horses.
Even if some people try their best to buy a horse, they cannot afford it.
Of course these are things that come later.
At this time, Yang Qian, after explaining Tian Zong clearly, hugged Krisna and Mu Qing and walked toward the fourth floor.
In his previous life, many people believed that Yang Qian had a dual personality, because he was extremely lazy in life and was just a deadbeat.
But when working, he has a completely different look. Not only can he grasp the general direction, but he can also pay attention to details. Otherwise, he would not be in a health care product company, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month just as a lecturer.
Yang Qian once explained to his friends that if you want to rest early, you should finish your work. Don't fish when you are working, and catch up on progress when you are resting.
As a result, you won't be able to do your work well and won't get enough rest when you rest.
But once you reach your current position, how can you finish your work? There are a lot of things happening every moment. Fortunately, there is a group of relatively reliable officials. Otherwise, Yang Gan is the only one?
Even if the pen is finished writing and the fingers are polished, it will not be able to deal with the affairs of ten counties.
But it’s okay today. Anyway, starting from tomorrow, a series of plans will be launched. Of course, Yang Qian will seize the last moment and enjoy it.
Especially Zhang Yumeng, who is totally free in what he likes and can think of anything.
I don’t know what she was thinking about asking the dancers to dance in the pool.
The girls came to the fourth floor. At this time, there were not only dancers, but also a large number of maids on the fourth floor. They were shuttled to various places, placing snacks, food, drinks, and drinks.
