There is no doubt that the largest horse farm in the Yu Dynasty was in Longyou. During the reign of the late emperor, it was the peak of Longyou horse farm, and it once raised up to 800,000 high-quality war horses.

The Youzhou Racecourse located in Youzhou, the Shandong Racecourse in the mainland, the Hexi Racecourse in the neighboring Western Region, and the Sichuan Racecourse together have about 200,000 horses.

Therefore, in the era of the late emperor, the Yu Dynasty's military force reached a point where it could crush the entire prairie. Yang Shou inherited such a powerful family business.

But it's useless. Who let the emperor of the Yu Dynasty defeat such an expert? It has only been more than ten years, and it has almost caused no harm.

During his second million-strong army expedition to Liaodong, although his family fortune was slightly thinner, he still had a terrifying lineup of 500,000 cavalry. This lineup, let alone attack the small Liaodong Kingdom, looked at the entire world at that time

, and no country can do it.

But he was defeated, and half a million cavalry turned into butterflies and flew away.

At present, Youzhou Racecourse, Shandong Racecourse, and Shuzhong Racecourse are all empty shells. The three racecourses combined have less than 8,000 horses, the Hexi Racecourse has 50,000, and the current statistics of Yanmen Racecourse are 25,800.

match.

However, more than half of them are unusable foals, and there are only 10,000 three-year-old adult war horses.

Qin Hu set out from Chang'an and arrived in Jinyang, the seat of Taiyuan County, ten days later. There was Jinyang Palace, a famous palace built by Yang Shou. The poor relative Pei Ji he met at Pei Ju's house last time was the palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace.

.

The Palace Supervisor sounds nice, but he is actually the housekeeper of the palace. He is responsible for allocating the food and clothing of the concubines, repairing and repairing the houses, etc. Every month, he reports the data to the Ministry of Household Affairs and waits for the court to allocate funds. The court supervises this aspect very strictly.

, there are very few places with corruption and not much oil and water.

The key is that there are too many eyes. Most of these thousands of concubines are not high-ranking, but they all have the right to secretly perform special performances. If there is any trouble in Pei Ji, the news will soon reach Yang Shou's ears.

Therefore, he is at best a property manager.

When Qin Hu arrived in Jinyang City, Li Yuan, as the local CEO, was not in the city. At this moment, he was inspecting the border defense in Mayi County, several hundred miles away.

Mayi is at the foot of the Great Wall and adjacent to the grassland. Horse thieves are rampant all year round, and Tuque and Tiele cavalry will plunder it from time to time. It has been an important border defense town since the Han Dynasty, so Li Yuan was left behind in Taiyuan.

position.

Mayi actually means horse farm.

It was named after Meng Tian, ​​a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, who besieged the city and raised horses here. Wang Hui, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, once tried to ambush the Xiongnu Chanyu with an army of 300,000 outside Mayi, and accomplished his victory in one battle. If this plan was realized, the Han-Hungarian War would

There was no need to fight at all, but God's calculations were not as good as those of man, and Shanyu escaped by chance, thus marking the beginning of the war of the century.

At present, Mayi and Yanmen are military fortresses used to defend against sudden changes.

In the absence of the boss, Wang Wei and Gao Junya, who were deputy left-behind officers, were responsible for receiving Qin Hu. Although Qin Hu was sent to the border to raise horses, his official position was actually promoted. This is the famous promotion in official circles.

The Minister of Taipusi is ranked as the Nine Ministers, the same level as the Six Ministers, so regardless of his title, he can firmly suppress all officials in the entire Hedong area except Li Yuan.

But he has no right to command these officials, because Qin Hu, Li Yuan and Pei Ji belong to three ranks respectively and are not subordinate to each other, but his rank is much higher than those below Li Yuan.

The people responsible for receiving Qin Hu were led by deputy left-behind Gao Junya and Wang Wei, and Jinyang Palace Supervisor Pei Ji. Others included Jinyang County Magistrate Liu Wenjing, Zhechong Colonel Xu Shixu, left-behind Mansion Marching Division Kaishi Xun, and Hu Benlang General Xiahou.

Duan, Taigu County Magistrate Yin Kaishan, Taiyuan County Cheng Liu Zhenghui, Tang Guogong Mansion Sima Tang Xian, Tang Jian and others.

Both Wang Wei and Gao Junya once served in Dali Temple. Their true identities were internal guards and were direct subordinates of Pei Yun. Therefore, they were very fawning over Qin Hu when they saw him.

Wang Wei was a bit better, but Gao Junya was a well-rounded person. He served Qin Hu like a slave, and he was as attentive as he wanted.

At that time, Qin Hu was fully armored, riding on a dark cloud on the moon, holding a spear, and led 500 elite soldiers into Jinyang City in a grand manner.

As soon as Wang Wei and Gao Junya and Pei Ji saw Qin Hu's horse head, they immediately led the officials to kneel forward and bowed in front of Qin Hu's horse head: "The officials of Taiyuan are here to see General Qin."

Qin Hu quickly dismounted. He was just passing through Taiyuan this time. These people came to greet him, which was just a false response in the officialdom, so he couldn't be too arrogant.

To put it bluntly, there was nothing he could do if others didn't like him. The most he could do was write a letter to the emperor, saying that they didn't understand etiquette and were treating their superiors poorly, which was meaningless.

"My lords, you are too polite. Please excuse me immediately."

When Wang Wei and Gao Junya saw Qin Hu's talent, majesty, and courtesy, they immediately looked at each other, felt good about him, and took a step forward and said: "General, your subordinates have received the report from the post station and learned that the general today

When passing by Taiyuan, we will immediately organize a greeting. If there is any negligence, please ask the general to pay attention."

Qin Hu smiled calmly: "Everyone has worked hard, Qin Hu is very grateful. I heard that Tang Guogong has not returned from inspecting the Tiger Killing Pass. I will ask the adults to say hello to him when I get back. I won't bother you here anymore. Tomorrow

After I inspected the racecourse, I set off immediately."

Yanmen Racecourse is just a general name. In fact, there are many large and small racecourses distributed from Taiyuan to Mayi, but the seat of Yanmen Racecourse is indeed outside Yanmen Pass.

That's why Qin Hu said this, because according to data, there are currently 3,000 war horses in the Taiyuan Racecourse, of which 1,000 are foals, which is considered a relatively large scale. There is also a Loufan Racecourse further north.

, there are a thousand horses in stock, but they are all adult war horses.

In order to plan his affairs in his position, he must inspect every step of the way, make effective statistics, write a memorial, and submit it to the emperor for inspection.

For example, the height, body shape, nutritional status, fodder consumption of these horses, as well as the management order of the pasture, official personnel, and even the diagnosis and medical records of veterinarians, how many types of 7 horses there are, how many mares there are, and their conditions are all

Be aware of it.

After Wang Wei and Gao Junya heard this, a wry smile quickly flashed in their eyes, but they didn't say anything. Instead, Jinyang County Magistrate Liu Wenjing trembled and almost fell to the ground, but Qin Hu didn't take it seriously.

It didn't matter, and I didn't even remember who this person was, so it just passed away.

"The general came to Taiyuan for the first time. He was tired and tired all the way. Although this place is a frontier fortress and not as rich and rich as the two capitals, it still has a special scenery. It is not as good as the general staying for a few days, sightseeing and resting.

." Gao Junya hurriedly smiled and handed over his hands: "The lower officials have prepared a banquet in the government office, and I have asked the general to appreciate it."
