"Raising horses? Can you raise horses on Danluo Island?"

When Yin Yanchun heard about raising horses, his ears stood up. His son Yin Guan was the top scholar who could ride horses and shoot archery. The Yin family was a founding hero of the Goryeo Kingdom. He was a high-ranking clan and his direct clan leader of course had horses in his family, and there were also horses who were responsible for raising horses.

However, including the Poping Yin family, all the horses in the Goryeo family are not well raised. The smaller the horses are, they are almost the same as the donkeys in the Song Dynasty. The reason is naturally that the livestock industry of the Goryeo people is too backward. The current Goryeo country is not the original Goguryeo, but the Silla. Silla is in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, with rugged mountains. There is not enough land to grow millet, so why should the livestock industry be developed? So the Goryeo people really can't raise it, unlike the Song Dynasty with a long-standing livestock and nomadic foundation, and they gradually forget it...

However, as a powerful and prosperous country, Goryeo is now fighting directly with her daughter and will go to war with the Liao Kingdom in the future. How can it be done without powerful cavalry?

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Goryeo have always wanted to get a stable and good supply of horses in recent years.

"If there is really a place with abundant water and grass on Danluo Island, then you can naturally raise horses."

"No," Yin Yanchun shook his head, "Hasn't you Song always been trapped by not having a good horse?"

"That's the past," Su Shi smiled, "Now we have found a good way to raise horses."

"What are the best ways to raise horses?" Yin Yanchun asked, "Can you reveal it?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "It's not difficult to say it's hard, just let the merchants who are good at raising horses buy a horse farm."

"A businessman who is good at raising horses? Isn't it a shepherd who raises horses?"

Su Shi's words were beyond Yin Yanchun's understanding. In his mind, merchants just bought and sold, at most they were long-distance trafficking. They did not do production, and they would not engage in animal husbandry.

In Su Shi's understanding, as long as the main purpose of selling profits is to carry out production and transportation, whether it is raising horses, raising cattle or farming, it is a commercial business activity.

"I, the Song Dynasty, have businessmen who are good at raising horses now!" Su Shi smiled, "and have raised many good horses, but now they are just suffering from the lack of horse farms... Do you know that raising horses is not possible anywhere."

What he said now is good at Wuhao and Ancient Teachings... If he can see the Star Lord, he will try to accept disciples. If he can't see the Star Lord, he will use it to raising horses to deceive the Koreans.

"I know, I know..." Yin Yanchun nodded repeatedly, "You must have a good pasture to raise horses."

"Yes." Su Shi said, "Isn't there Danluo here? If you can trust our horse merchants in the Song Dynasty, we can let them go to Danluo to raise horses."

"So...how much does it cost to invite them?"

"Money?" Su Shi waved his hand, "No money is needed."

“No money is needed?”

"The horse merchants will invest money to raise horses, and they will also transport stallions and mares from the Song Dynasty." Su Shi said, "As long as you are willing to rent the pasture on the Danluo Road to the horse merchant."

"How do horse merchants make profits?"

"Of course, raising horses is to sell horses." Su Shi smiled, "You Goryeo wants to fight the north and west, so you have to need a lot of war horses? Japan also needs horses... Look, it's great to raise horses in Danluo, it must be profitable."

Yin Yanchun repeatedly thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Danluo Island was so far from the Song Dynasty, so what if there were hundreds of Song Dynasty merchants and Ma Yi going to the island? Can you still take Danluo Island?

At worst, let the star master of Danluo Kingdom submit a letter as soon as possible to request the withdrawal of the vassal state. If the county and county are of certain status, and then 1,000 elite soldiers will be stationed, then it will be foolproof.

At that time, maybe it would be the Goryeo court that they worked hard to requisition the war horses they raised...

...

"Is this Mr. Dongpo's Mobao?"

"It is the original work of my uncle!" Su Shi pointed to a lyrics of "Jiangchengzi. There is a great scholar in Haidong" written by him in the thatched hut he had just lived in, and told Cui Xian, "My uncle has long heard that there was an old minister of the Six Dynasties, Cui Haoran, who first founded a private school and set up a Jiuzhai School. His disciples gathered together, and he admired him very much, so he wrote this article Jiangchengzi, asking his subordinates to bring Haidong and give it to Cui Gong. Unfortunately... But today I met Cui Gong's descendants in Danluo, and the subordinates finally lived up to his uncle's instructions."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Dongpo also knew about the family's deeds." Cui Xian listened to Su Shi's words, and looked carefully at the several rows of calligraphy with excellent pens and the signature of Mr. Dongpo, who was a layman, and his mouth was almost unable to close. His grandfather's name was even Su Dongpo, the first scholar in the Song Dynasty. As a grandson, he felt his face shining.

"By the way," Su Shi looked at Cui Xian's expression and knew that he had become good at making friends again, so he continued to fool him, "When Xiaguan opened the capital, he heard that the Cui family of Haizhou in Goryeo was the descendant of Cui Li, the governor of Pingzhou during the Jin Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Cui Xian nodded, "Our ancestors fled to Goguryeo with thousands of personal soldiers to avoid the attack of the Xianbei Murong clan."

"Don't respect, disrespect!" Su Shi, who was kneeling on a cushion, immediately straightened up and hugged his fists, "I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Boling Cui clan!"

The Boling Cui family was still very awesome in the Tang Dynasty, one of the five surnames and seven hopes! However, the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to this, but the Goryeo Kingdom was still a society that was very dedicated to the ancestors. Therefore, Cui Xian was also very proud of his birth as the "five surnames and seven hopes". Although the family tree of the Boling Cui family was no longer in their lineage.

"What a pity, what a pity." Su Shi suddenly shook his head again.

"What a pity?" asked Yin Yanchun, who was accompanying him.

"It's a pity that the descendants of the Boling Cui family in the Central Plains didn't know that the great scholar Cui Haoran from Haidong was the same clan as them!" Su Shi continued to brag, "The friend of the lower officials, Cui Zifang, professor of Yuntai Academy, is a descendant of the Cui family in Boling. If he knew that Cui Haoran was also a descendant of the Boling family, he would definitely propose to revise the genealogy and include the Cui family in Haidong."

"Really?" Cui Xian was of course interested. His grandfather was Confucius from Haidong, the number one Confucian Confucian country! And Confucianism emphasizes respecting heaven and law of ancestors, which is about ancestors. The Cui family from Haidong entered the Boling genealogy and went to the ancestral tomb to worship. It was a very long-faced thing that at least proves that his ancestors really came from the Cui family of Boling.

"That's certain!" Su Shi thought for a while, "It's better to do this. When the official returned to Haizhou, he would inform Cui Ziping of the situation of the Cui family in Haidong and his uncle Dongpo, and asked them to come forward to invite the supervisor to cross the sea to give lectures and to worship the ancestral tombs."

"Go to the Song Dynasty to give lectures?" Cui Xian was a little confused. Although he was a Jinshi of Goryeo, his Confucianism was not very skilled. How could he give lectures in the Song Dynasty?

"Yes!" Su Shi said, "Haidong Confucianism is also very insightful in many aspects. It should communicate with Confucianism in the Central Plains to learn from its strengths and weaknesses."

"That's great." Cui Xian had met a confidant this time. After a famous family, he would be sent to Danluo as a ruling country, so he naturally stood aside. The reason for this was because he had an ambiguous attitude when Wang Yong usurped the throne. Of course, he regretted it now, but there was no medicine for regret in the world.

The opportunity for "Yuntai Lecture" given by Su Shi obviously allowed Cui Xian to make the situation come back.

The great Goryeo Confucian scholars taught at the highest institution of the Song Dynasty. Such things never happened! If Cui Xian could become the first person, it would undoubtedly prove his knowledge.

So how can a learned official have a breath of wind on Danluo Island? He must be recalled to Kaijing to serve as a senior official!

Now that private friendship is available, national affairs will naturally be easier to handle.

I just want to rent land on Danluo land... Anyway, the land in Danluo cannot be rented out. Now someone wants it, so why isn't it a good thing?

"Brother Zhongnan," Cui Xian, the great scholar of Goryeo, has changed his name to Su Shi. "It is not a problem for you to borrow land to repair boats and rent land to raise horses on Danluo Island. However... this cannot be rented in the name of the Song Dynasty government."

"That's of course. Rent in the name of a business bank. The rent will never disappoint Brother Cui..." Su Shi smiled, "By the way, can you rent land in the name of academy?"

In fact, Wu Haogu had long expected that the Danluo State would not rent the land to the Song Dynasty government. The exchanges between the Danluo State and the Song Dynasty were probably prohibited, so how could it be rented to the Song Dynasty?

But renting land to the people of the Song Dynasty is another matter. It is business and has nothing to do with diplomacy between the two countries. Now that Danluo is so poor, it is also a very necessary thing to be able to make some money to repair the thatched roof of the palace.

However, Wu Haogu is better at the colonial history of later generations and knows that there is another better way than commercial leasing.

It’s just to open a church...that’s the academy! Didn’t Fan Zhiwen and the others come to Danluo for this?

"Academy?" Cui Xian thought for a while, "Wantai Academy is going to be opened in Danluo National Academy?"

"Of course it's not the Yuntai Academy," Su Shi said. "How can Confucian scholars in Danluo have the qualifications to study in the Yuntai Academy? They are just a few doctors who went to Japan to preach to want to run a primary school in Danluo and spread the principles of Confucianism."

"It's not the official school of the Song Dynasty, is it?"

"Of course not, how could it be an official school? How could the officials of the Song Dynasty be willing to live in Danluo for a long time?" Su Shi said affirmatively, "Those doctors who preached are not officials, they are civilians."

"As long as it is not an official school, it's fine." Cui Xian smiled, "It's not a loan from the Song State government, that's what Danluo State or Danluo County can decide. The lower-ranking officials are now the governor, so they can naturally make a decision."

"Then I'll thank you brother Cui."

As he spoke, Su Shi clapped his hands again. Then he saw Fan Zhiwen and a group of strong men carrying silk, entering the small thatched hut one after another. A thousand pieces of silk in various colors were soon piled up in front of Cui Xian.

"Is this, what is this?" Cui Xian's eyes straightened when he asked.
