Chapter 3087 Digging the Imperial Corner
"So many?" Chen Xi scratched his head. He only released 70,000 to 80,000 Mongolian horses and mixed them with a lot of high-quality Dayuan horses as stallions, and then he didn't care much about it.
After all, after the Han Dynasty wiped out the Hu people, the size of the grassland in the northern border was calculated based on one million square kilometers. Chen Xi did not have a good control plan at that time, so he could only choose to stock war horses.
At that time, Chen Xi's mentality was roughly in the mood since I couldn't get it, and there were not so many people to set up a large ranch, and it was a waste to be wasted the grassland. It would be better to use it to raise some things freely.
Anyway, it is a waste to abandon millions of square kilometers. If you use some things to raise them freely, it will be no loss, so Chen Xi raised tens of thousands of war horses freely.
Well, it's not considered a war horse, it's just an ordinary Mongolian horse. They are stocking up and throwing some Dayuan horses into it, so that they can develop on their own. As for whether they can't get fat, this is not a problem for Chen Xi, and even Chen Xi, who was bitten to death by the wolves, didn't care about it.
No matter if you throw the northern grassland, those horses will live by themselves, and then naturally eliminate the weak ones among them. Those who stay should be good. As a result, after so many years, Chen Xi threw this matter behind his mind, but he didn't expect to finally raise it.
"Yes, I raised 70,000 to 80,000 Mongolian horses free of charge back then, drove them out, and stuffed hundreds of Dayuan horses into it as horses." Chen Xi touched his chin and recalled the situation back then, thinking about the time, and calculated that it had been three years since Yuanfeng. You must know that he had not allowed the Huns to spend the spring, and four years have passed.
"This is really good news. I think we are at the harvest season." Guo Jia said excitedly. It only takes four years for horses to become adults, and now it is exactly four years each. In other words, the first year of horses have grown up. No wonder there are so many now.
"It's just enough to last 300,000 horses to death." Chen Xi said, touching her chin. There are only one baby in a year, and only one baby in a year. Including the original wild horses on the grassland, they can produce 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a year. Four years have passed, and Chen Xi is a little happy with the original one.
"There are a lot of them, so I'll capture the right ones inside." Guo Jia rubbed his hands. The scale was already very large. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi had so many free-range plants. It's worthy of being prepared for the future.
"Catching is OK." Chen Xi thought about it. The horses that were older than before should have taken away a batch, otherwise it would have been a bit wasteful. So he said in a tentative tone, "If you want to catch 50,000 horses, but you can't use this kind of horse directly when you catch them. You still need to raise them well, otherwise you will lose weight if you don't run for a while."
"This is simple. Just grab 50,000 horses and stuff them into the ranch, and then grab 50,000 horses from the ranch." Guo Jia did not take it seriously at all. "I ordered the north to stop the group of people. Starting from the beginning of this year, the Zhen family, Wei family, and Mi family all trade horses from the north. I was wondering where they came from!"
In fact, many people know that the number of wild horses in the north is increasing. When Yuan Tan returned to the Central Plains, he saw a ranch and a large group of wild horses. He even complained about it to the Yuan family. However, no one was too concerned about wild horses in the north at that time. But now Guo Jia finally understood that these bastards were digging the corners of their Han Empire. You all dared to poach the wild horses that were stocked in the Han Dynasty.
"No, this is a bit too much." Chen Xi frowned and said, "Is there so many? It's not enough, there are millions of square kilometers in the north, so it won't be discovered."
When Chen Xi was free-range, he held the north with a large area of sparsely populated areas, a few million square kilometers or even tens of millions of square kilometers. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of wild horses, it would not attract attention. What the hell is going on now?
"Now, we often see groups of wild horses in Jiuyuanbian County in the north. There are also large-scale wild horses in Liaodong where the aristocratic families move north, and even in the Hexi Corridor. So now many people are in the horse business, and even the price of horses has dropped." Guo Jia said in a sigh, while Chen Xi was stunned. Is it so exaggerated?
Chen Xi looked through the reports he had collected. Sure enough, several counties in the border counties said they had captured hundreds of wild horses, and then requested to reduce some of the food collection in the coming year as the food for the cavalry. What the hell is this? Chen Xi didn't remember that he had released so much.
"Didn't I just stocked 70,000 or 80,000 yuan? It shouldn't be so exaggerated." Chen Xi said with a strange look on his face, "Even if I remember to rain a little bit north on time, people remember to sow some seeds of grass that are easy to grow everywhere in spring, there shouldn't be so many."
Chen Xi is not a fool. Several counties in the border counties have touched wild horses, which means that the scale is so large that it can be encountered in Yanbian area. It is so big in the north that it can be encountered in these places, so the number is definitely not the 300,000 or 400,000 that I estimate.
"Where is the problem?" Chen Xi said strangely at Guo Jia.
"What's wrong?" Guo Jia asked in confusion.
"Impossible. I calculated the situation at that time. I'm going to have to die of 300,000 to 400,000. Now this situation is probably doubled before it will be encountered. 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 much?" Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said. He had only heard people say that there was a problem with less horses, but he had never heard of them at all. He was still confused when he had too much horses.
"This is not. In fact, it's just the size of the northern grassland, and we are always looking after where to rain. Remember to replant grass every spring. There is no difference between 300,000 and 600,000." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering why there are so many more. It shouldn't be. In the case of that year, there were only 30,000 to 50,000 wild horses in the northern grassland."
"Maybe it's the inheritance of the Huns." Guo Jia replied casually. Chen Xi was stunned and instantly reacted. It was probably the inheritance of the Huns. The guy Hu Yanchu obviously had the idea of making a comeback and could not have made preparations. The Huns who went north and were mainly cattle and sheep, and there were not many war horses.
You should know that Hu Yanchu, who had almost taken control of the entire northern border, had not only had a little war horse. If you think about it, mom, it turned out that there was a horse farm that was not confiscated by itself. No wonder when he established a state-owned ranch, he always felt that there were not many high-quality war horses. Unexpectedly, there was another ranch!
"It's probably really a pasture for the Huns. It should be a pasture in some captive place. After that, the Huns didn't go back, and these horses jumped out of the horse ring and turned into wild horses. In this way, it would be much more reasonable to reproduce in the past four years." Chen Xi said helplessly, "I neglected it at that time, otherwise I would not have been able to build eleven large pastures."
"It's not a loss. Now there are hundreds of thousands more, although there are probably only tens of thousands of suitable war horses." Guo Jia said indifferently.
"You don't understand at all. If I had taken back those war horses back then, we wouldn't have more than 100,000 war horses now, but so many of them every year!" Chen Xi said helplessly, while Guo Jia was still smiling and didn't take what Chen Xi said to heart. What had happened could not be changed. Being calm will be beneficial to everyone.
"Organize a professional hunting team to recycle war horses, but remember to leave half of them in the grassland. In the next two years, people will stop catching wolves." Chen Xi sighed when he saw Guo Jia's expression, "Get more wolves, even if the wild horses will suffer a considerable loss, don't worry. We need to control the number of wild horses."
Guo Jia nodded repeatedly, and did not listen to Chen Xi's ecological concept at all. He just turned around and planned to organize more people to catch them and calculate the part that the wolf would eat. Chen Zichuan is a full man and doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry. This is a horse. Even if it is not a war horse, it is a good pack horse. You don't care about feeding the wolf. You don't feel heartbroken, but I still feel heartbroken!
As for the fact that eating grass is not durable, it is even more of a problem. It is transported back to feed the beans and the beans with bone meal eggs. Isn’t it better to feed them for a while? Are fat all things like fat? If you don’t gain weight after eating grass, we can eat better.
If you have to feed the good horses to the wolf, you, Chen Zichuan, are crazy.
"Don't do this for the past two years when we are pursuing wolves. We will also try to beat me the rabbits and yellow sheep on the grassland. In the past two years, there have been fewer wolves and more of these two things. Don't eat the grassland in the grassland." Chen Xi saw that Guo Jia was dissatisfied and quickly warned.
Knowing that there are so many free-range horses on the grassland, Chen Xi would never destroy the wolves at the beginning, and the ecological balance and other things still need to be maintained, but unfortunately I didn’t know it back then.
"Okay, I won't send someone to catch wolves." Guo Jia curled his lips and said. In Guo Jia's opinion, Chen Xi's approach was a completely wasteful approach.
"Get up an army 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 responded, he would not cause trouble. This is much more reliable than Jia Xu and others. Although Jia Xu and others also completed the task, their result was that they completed the task, but this way of completing it was quite amazing.
"That's right, it's okay to form an army to do it. The war horses you seized are used by yourself, which is very suitable for the army. Well, there are many places lacking horses now." Guo Jia touched his chin with thoughts, "Forget it, let's stop these people from digging the corners of my Han Dynasty first."
