Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Is that much?" Chen Xi scratched his head. Back then, he only released 70,000 to 80,000 Mongolian horses, and mixed a lot of high-quality Dawan horses into them as stallions. After that, he didn't care too much.

After all, the size of the grassland in northern Xinjiang was calculated on the basis of millions of square kilometers after the Han Dynasty wiped out the Hu people. Chen Xi didn't have a good control plan at that time, so he could only choose to breed war horses.

At that time, Chen Xi's mentality was roughly that since I couldn't get it, and there were not so many people to build a large ranch, it would be a waste to leave the grassland deserted, so it's better to use it for free-range farming.

Anyway, it would be a waste to throw millions of square kilometers away, and it would be a good idea to raise some things free-range, so Chen Xi raised tens of thousands of war horses free-range.

Well, it’s not considered a war horse, it’s just an ordinary Mongolian horse. Some Dawan horses are thrown into it to let them develop on their own. As for whether they can get fat, it’s not Chen Xi’s problem, and they were even killed by wolves. Chen Xi didn't care about anything.

Regardless of the northern grasslands, those horses will live by themselves, and then naturally weed out the weak ones, and those who stay should be good. As a result, after so many years, Chen Xi has forgotten this matter I didn't expect it to finally grow up.

"That's right. Back then, I raised 70,000 to 80,000 Mongolian horses that were not very good. I drove them out, and stuffed hundreds of Dawan horses into them as top horses." Chen Xi rubbed his chin and recalled the past. Looking at the situation, thinking about the time, it has been three years since Yuanfeng. You must know that he did not let the Huns spend the spring, and it has been four years.

"This is really good news. I think we have reached the harvest season." Guo Jia said excitedly. The horses of the year are all adults, no wonder there are so many now.

"It's only 300,000 horses." Chen Xi rubbed his chin and said, horses only give birth once a year, and only one birth per year. Counting the original wild horses on the grassland, they can give birth by themselves in a year 60,000 to 70,000, four years have passed, plus the original, Chen Xi is a little happy.

"That's quite a lot, and I've captured the inside properly." Guo Jia rubbed his hands, the scale is already huge, he didn't expect Chen Xi to raise so many free-range animals, it's worthy of being prepared for a rainy day.

"It's okay to capture." Chen Xi thought for a while, the earlier horses were all adults, and it was time to capture a batch, otherwise it would be a waste, so he said tentatively, "How about capturing 50,000 horses?" , but this kind of horse can't be used directly after being caught, it still needs to be raised well, otherwise, it will lose weight after running for a while."

"It's simple, grab 50,000 horses and put them in the pasture, and then grab 50,000 suitable horses from the pasture." Guo Jia didn't take it seriously at all, "I will give the order to the north later, Tell that group of people to stop, since the beginning of this year, the Zhen family, the Wei family, and the Mi family who are in the horse business are all selling horses from the north, and I wondered where they came from before!"

In fact, many people know that the number of wild horses in the north has increased. When Yuan Tan returned to the Central Plains, he had seen pastures and large herds of wild horses. He even complained about this to the Yuan family, but no one thought too much about it at the time. The wild horses in the north, but now Guo Jia finally understands that these bastards are poaching the corners of their Han Empire.

"No, it's a bit too much." Chen Xi frowned and said, "Are there so many? Ordinarily, there are millions of square kilometers in the north, so they won't be discovered."

When Chen Xi was free-ranging in the past, he embraced the vast and sparsely populated north, with a few million square kilometers, or even tens of millions of square kilometers. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of wild horses, they would not attract attention. What the hell is it now? Condition?

"Now you can often see herds of wild horses in Jiuyuanbian County in the north, and you can often see large-scale wild horses in the Liaodong area where the aristocratic family moved north, and even in the Hexi Corridor, so many people now In the horse business, even the price of horses has dropped." Guo Jia sighed and said, but Chen Xi was stunned, is it so exaggerated?

Chen Xi looked through the reports he had received. Sure enough, several counties in the border county said that they had captured hundreds of wild horses, and then requested to reduce part of the food collection in the coming year, as food for the cavalry. What the hell is this? Chen Xi didn't remember that he had stocked so many.

"Didn't I only stock 70,000 to 80,000? It shouldn't be so exaggerated." Chen Xi said with a strange expression, "Even if I remember to rain a little to the north on time, people will remember to scatter some grass seeds that are easy to grow in spring." , shouldn’t be so many.”

Chen Xi is not an idiot. The wild horses have been found in several counties in Bian County, which means that the scale is so large that they can be encountered in Yanbian area. The north is so big that they can be encountered in these places. The number is definitely not estimated by myself. Three to four hundred thousand.

"What's wrong with this?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia strangely and said.

"What's wrong?" Guo Jia asked puzzled.

"Impossible. I calculated the situation at that time, and it cost three to four hundred thousand. Now the situation will only be doubled. This is impossible. There are many wild horses in the north?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia and asked, "It shouldn't be, I haven't heard of so many before."

"Isn't it good to have too many horses?" Guo Jia said, rolling his eyes. He had only heard people say that there was a problem with too few horses, but he had never heard of it. He was still confused when he had too many horses.

"That's not true. In fact, it's just the size of the grassland in the north, and we watch where it rains from time to time. Remember to replant pastures every spring. There is no difference between 300,000 and 600,000." Chen Xi shook his head. Said, "I'm just wondering why there are so many more. It shouldn't be. Normally, there were only 30,000 to 50,000 wild horses in the northern grasslands back then."

"Maybe it's the heritage of the Huns." Guo Jia replied casually. Chen Xi was taken aback for a moment, then he realized that it was probably the legacy of the Huns. The guy from Huyan Chu obviously had the idea of ​​making a comeback, so it was impossible not to make preparations. The Xiongnu who were killed by Yuan Tan when they went northward brought mainly cattle and sheep, not many war horses.

You must know that Huyan Chu almost took advantage of the situation to hold the entire northern Xinjiang, and there were not only a few war horses at all. If you think about it this way, oh my god, there was a horse farm that did not confiscate it, no wonder when the state-run ranch was established. , I always feel that there are not many high-quality war horses, but I didn't expect that there was a pasture!

"Probably it really is the pasture of the Huns. It should be a pasture raised somewhere. After the Huns didn't go back, these horses jumped out of the stables and became wild horses. If this is the case, they have multiplied so many in the past four years. It's much more reasonable." Chen Xi said helplessly, "I was negligent at the time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to build only eleven large pastures."

"It's not a loss. Now there are hundreds of thousands more, although the number of suitable horses is estimated to be hundreds of thousands." Guo Jia said indifferently.

"You don't understand at all. If I had taken back those war horses back then, we would not have hundreds of thousands of war horses now, but so many every year!" Chen Xi said helplessly, while Guo Jia still had a playful smile on his face, and did not take Chen Xi back at all. Take what you say to your heart, what has happened, cannot be changed, and it is good for everyone to be calm and calm.

"Organize a professional hunting team and recover the war horses, but remember to leave half of them in the grassland, and let people stop hunting wolves in the past two years." Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Chen Xi sighed and said, "Get more wolves, even if it is Broncos are going to take quite a bit of damage, never mind, we need to get the numbers under control."

Guo Jia nodded again and again, and didn't listen to Chen Xi's ecological concept at all. He just planned to organize more people to catch more people, including the part that wolves would eat. Horse, even if it is not a war horse, it is still a good draft horse. You don't care about feeding these wolves. You don't feel sad, but I do!

As for the fact that it is not durable because of eating grass, it is not a problem. It is shipped back to feed soybeans, soybeans with bone meal and eggs. Wouldn’t it be good to feed them for a period of time? Isn't fat this kind of thing eaten? Eating grass does not make you fat, we can eat better.

If you have to feed the good horses to the wolves, you Chen Zichuan may be crazy.

"Stop catching wolves in Fengxiao for the past two years, and also go and beat me up with a dozen rabbits and yellow sheep in the grassland. In the past two years, wolves have decreased, and these two things have also increased. Don't starve the grassland for me." Seeing Guo Jia's disapproval, Chen Xi hurriedly warned.

Knowing that there are so many free-range horses on the grassland, Chen Xi would never eliminate the wolves at the beginning. The ecological balance still needs to be maintained, but it is a pity that he didn't know that back then.

"Well, I won't send people to hunt wolves." Guo Jia pouted and said, in Guo Jia's view, what Chen Xi did was a complete waste.

"Let's form an army to do it, and re-plan the ranch by the way." Chen Xi didn't care about Guo Jia's expression. Generally speaking, as long as Guo Jia agrees, he won't make trouble. This is much more reliable than Jia Xu and others, although Jia Xu and others also completed the task, but they did complete the task in the end, but the way they completed it was quite amazing.

"That's right, it's good to form an army to do it. The horses I captured and used by myself are very suitable for places like the army. Well, there are many places that lack horses now." Guo Jia rubbed his chin with a thoughtful face, "Forget it , let’s stop this group of people poaching the corners of my Han room.”

"Allow them to capture." Chen Xi glanced at Guo Jia and said, "If you get something like an access permit, it will be a good industrial chain anyway."
