On this day, Li Po and Li Chun finally officially joined the glorious team of grooms.
On the first day of work, Li Po and Li Chun worked very hard. After all, they are newcomers and they are not diligent. Do you really take yourself seriously?
Li Po didn't know that Hucao's clerk had been looking for him for a whole day before he went back to report to Chen Zhizhang. The two brothers had disappeared without a trace and were nowhere to be found.
Of course, this was not a problem for me. I ordered someone to ask Luo San, and I found out that the guy had suddenly changed his identity and had slipped into the county government and was serving as an official.
He was under the jurisdiction of Jia Cao and was in the private stables of the county government. Even though he was an ordinary horseman with no formal rank, he was still one of the minor officials in Mayi City.
It is said that the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, who look after the horses of local emperors like Mr. Mayi, are also relatively high-ranking among the minor officials in Mayi.
It's a pity that he has been in charge of the job for a long time. He has not been in Mayi for a long time and is in need of trustworthy people.
Li Po, who came to the city as a refugee, was smart and bold, and whose origins could not be checked, was the first choice of his confidants. Yes, he was in Hucao, and he could easily check the military records of various departments in Mayi.
Li Chengshun's name was prominently listed, and he was only stationed at the military stronghold outside the Great Wall. Since the Yunzhong Shouchuo Mansion had long existed in name only, many of the guards at each stronghold had escaped. If we continue to investigate more closely, we might have to send people out of the Great Wall or to Fufeng.
Already.
For a little Li Po, it's obviously not worth the effort and manpower he spends.
In fact, it was enough to find out here, and he would not think that the Turks would send such a young man to spy on Mayi's military situation.
Again, there are too many people related to the Turks in Mayi County. Even if the Turks send an assassin over, it will not be like Li Po. It is no different from joking.
He is quite a suitable confidant. According to the teachings he has received all year round, it is not difficult to conquer such a person.
It's just a combination of kindness and power.
It's a pity that the boy was so unlucky that he went to the county government to raise horses by himself.
After hearing the news, the young executive thought about it for a while and then put it behind him. With his status, there were many people available, so there was no need to spend any energy on a small person.
Yuchi, who is smart and capable and has a military position, is the first choice worthy of his efforts.
Li Po didn't know that he had missed a good opportunity. Of course, even if he knew about it, he would pout and regard it as his luck.
Because the first time he worked for that bastard, he was whipped. After such an unpleasant experience, Li Po had no interest in getting close to that guy who didn't care about his life or death.
However, he now also doubts whether being a groom is a good choice.
Because it was the first day of work, the old man finally took the opportunity and scolded him.
But it’s not unfair.
You must know that knowing how to raise horses and being able to raise horses are two different things. This is the gap between theory and practice.
The same is true for herding and stable raising, which are two completely different ways of raising horses.
In other words, even though Li Po pretends to be awesome, he is actually not that capable. Once he gets started, an expert will see that it is not easy to grab his pigtails.
Amidst the old man's roar, Li Po murmured to himself that this was a typical menopausal syndrome, or the most severe type, the manic type, while his hands and feet became more and more agile.
Eat other people's food and take care of them. Li Po understands the truth behind this.
Just like when I received a whipping before, even though I was reluctant, I didn’t regret this or that.
It would not be wrong to say that he is big-minded, but it is definitely not the same as being narrow-minded. Generally speaking, he is a person who knows what he should do and is very clear about his identity and position.
Neither blame others nor give up on oneself.
At the end of the day, Li Po was sprayed with saliva and his ears were buzzing. Li Chun also followed him dejectedly, and the two returned to their rooms in disgrace.
Obviously, such a life is not as comfortable as the carefree life they live in the market.
It only takes one day to make someone like Li Po feel that it may be a wrong decision to work in the county government, which shows that the power of the old man is really extraordinary.
After dinner, you can't be idle.
Prepare materials for tomorrow, and then inspect the stables for the last time. After a round, the moon has risen.
Returning to the room again, Li Chun was asked to sleep on his own, while Li Po lay down undressed.
Because there are still two more night feeds to feed.
Don't complain, all these processes are the essence of raising war horses in the Sui Dynasty, and the countless accumulations of predecessors are all contained in it.
In just one day, Li Po fully realized his shortcomings. If he wanted to become a qualified horse breeder, he still had to learn a lot.
The environment on the grassland and the extensive farming methods are inferior to the exquisite farming methods of Sui Dynasty.
Back then, on the grassland, my third uncle often complained that the Turks could not raise real war horses.
Li Po still felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
After a field operation today, I saw several types of horse materials that may not be seen at all on the grassland. After going through the process and confirming it with what I have learned in the past, I will understand.
Prairie people, don't even think about raising horses like this, they simply can't afford it.
The reason why the grassland people are dominant with their war horses is not because they raise war horses well, but because they have more abundant sources of horses. Most of their war horses are not bred, but are beaten in tribal vendettas.
This is where true knowledge comes from practice. If he hadn't entered Sui's stables, Li Po might never know the shortcomings and unique features of the horse-raising knowledge in his mind.
Two night feedings, one at midnight and one around the third watch.
This time at Zishi was Yuen Long's mission, and it was Li Po's turn at the third watch.
By this time, the hard work of the horse owners became obvious.
This is obviously an occupation that requires professional skills, is highly labor-intensive, and has a disproportionate social status.
What made Li Po quite gratified was that although there was no alarm clock, there was a night watchman in the county. After being up like this for a few days, for him, his biological clock was almost set.
As soon as the third watch came, Li Po woke up immediately, put on his clothes quickly, opened the door and came out. The moonlight was hazy and the spring was cold. He stretched his body involuntarily, and his mind and body quickly woke up.
Not far away, there was a soft knock on the door, and the old man's figure appeared under the moonlight. He glanced towards Li Po and pursed his lips, looking a little dissatisfied, as if to say, how could you not wait for me to go?
Knocking on the door to drive people out and then getting up on your own?
Li Po glanced over there and thought, Damn it, even if Zhou Bapi sees you, he will have to accept the defeat.
Seeing Li Po's figure disappearing among the rows of stables, the old man turned around and returned to the house without saying a word.
