{Thank you, friend Meow Big 2558 for the 500 prize and two monthly passes} Yang Yan said earnestly: "Yao Gong Pugong, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, you see my Ming Kingdom, in just a few years, there is enough warehouse, rich street materials, not to boast alone, even if the harvest is out in the next two or three years, it can survive."
The two of them had more or less heard about the rich state of the Ming Kingdom, and their eyes showed envy, waiting for the following.
Yang Yan continued: "Lao Dan said: It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, so that as my Ming trade routes become more and more unimpeded, the demand for animal power continues to increase, and Gu Ke can match the two and let the merchants of the Central Plains order horses and mules from the Qiang clan, how" Mule sex is better than horse stubbornness, better than donkey shun, and gregarious sex is better than ǎqiáng, which is divided into two types.
Male donkey and mare mating is born as a horse mule, large, both the weight and resistance of a donkey, and the flexibility and running power of a horse, but also save forage than a horse, the strength is also greater than a horse, the endurance is stronger, is a kind of provincial and capable draft animal, impatient, intelligent, empathetic, can be used for about 20 years, but not as fast as a horse.
Male horses and female donkeys are born of donkey mules, small and small, docile and stubborn, generally inferior to horse mules, but eat less than horse mules, and can be used for thirty years.
Before the advent of steam power, the demand for animal power would increase with the development of the economy, and the people did need a large number of mules.
Moreover, there is almost no labor in the Ming army, and the carts usually use war horses, which is equivalent to using war horses as inferior horses, which will gradually reduce the sprint ability of war horses, so Yang Yan has the idea of using mules to transport materials, which does not hurt horsepower, and can also kill mules to eat when there is a shortage of food, which is equivalent to a mobile grain and grass warehouse.
Since you want to raise mules, it is better to hand them over to Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong, which can improve the living standards of these two tribes, and secondly, you can also indirectly disarm them.
Yang Yan once in the first battle with Shi Hu, sent cavalry to ride a mule Li Dai Taozhuang, this is just an expedient measure, the mule soldiers in the frontal confrontation, no role, with Qiang Di to raise mules, the grassland is so big, there are more mules, the horses are naturally less and less, over time, Qiang Di will lose the ability to come and go like the wind, obediently be the obedient people of the Ming Kingdom.
As for sheep raising, because sheep eat grass roots, it is extremely harmful to the pasture, and the pollution of the wool textile industry is extremely serious, far less economical than raising mules.
Yao Gezhong and Pu Hong didn't expect Yang Yan to have such a deep scheming, and thought that Yang Yan was sincerely thinking about Qiang, besides, in their opinion, raising mules does not delay raising horses, but they ignored one point, driven by economic interests, their people will gradually reduce the number of horses.
The faces of the two showed gratitude, and they gave a deep salute: "I don't know how much I need, so I'll have to be prepared." ” Yang Yan smiled slightly: "The more the merrier, trade with cash at the market price, how" The two of them are happy again, the price of horses and mules is one to two percent more expensive than ordinary horses, but the cost of raising is not as good as horses, and the income is higher than that of raising horses, so he immediately nodded and said: "As the king said, but there are only a hundred horses and mules in our clan, and there are not many donkeys, I'm afraid, it will take a few years to supply a large number of donkeys." ” Yang Yan waved his hand: "The two of you are in difficulty, you can't sit idly by, you will organize a batch of donkeys as soon as possible, and you will divide the two equally with a thousand heads."
The two couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was full of sincerity, and immediately thanked them again, the harmonious atmosphere in the banquet, even if Yao Yisheng, Pu An and Pu Yu never said a word, they were also happy from the bottom of their hearts, because they felt Yang Yan's amiability and strong affection, especially Pu Yu, who was already impressed by Yang Yan's demeanor, and at this time there were even more brilliant ripples in his beautiful eyes.
Only Yao Xiang, thinking of his status as a relative, immediately reminded himself that he wanted to be a walking corpse, but he couldn't be bought by his little favor and small favor.
The matter was solved, Yao Yizhong thought of Yao Xiang's lifelong event, he looked at Pu Hong first, Pu Hong brought his beloved daughter over, and he must also have the intention of kissing, but Pu Hong pretended not to know, picked up the teacup and tasted tea.
Yao Yizhong secretly scolded the old ghost for pretending, but then he had a headache.
Pu Hong arrived earlier than him, I don't know what he said to Yang Yan, if he mentioned Pu Yu's marriage when he came up, then naturally he didn't need to mention it again, if he didn't mention it, he was obviously waiting for himself to take the lead and lose his face.
He and Pu Hong each brought their beloved daughters to visit, obviously to offer their daughters, and now King Ming is in front of him, is he humming and consuming it, which makes King Ming unhappy, or proposes marriage regardless of face In the end, Yao Yizhong sighed and arched his hand: "The king, the minister still has a matter to ask the king to fulfill. ” "Oh" Yang Yan glanced at Yao Xiang indifferently, and asked, "Gong Yao, please speak." ” Yao Xiang's wild eyes also flashed with nervousness.
Yao Yizhong glanced at his beloved daughter and hardened his heart: "The king, the little girl Yao Xiang, has admired the king's name for a long time, and volunteered to serve each other and marry the king for a hundred years, I don't know what the king wants."
Yang Yan said secretly, sure enough, he couldn't help but look at Yao Xiang carefully.
Because the Qiang people are located in the western region, they often intermarry with the tribes of the Western Regions, so they have a trace of Caucasian characteristics, but compared with Le Yuehua, it is not obvious.
Yao Xiang's appearance is slightly stiff, but it is a beautiful embryo, perhaps related to the strong ultraviolet rays on the grassland, the skin exposed to the fruit is wheat-colored, but through the neckline, you can vaguely see the shocking snow white, the full hair, with the unique braid of the Qiang girl, dozens of coiling and falling, layered, unique, dressed in white, adding a bit of purity in the wildness, and the most impressive thing about Yang Yan is the pair of strong and powerful long legs This made Yang Yan can't help but think of going all the way to the west, Xiao Si whispered to the west: I have been riding horses since I was a child Horseback riding Twisting the waist of the little man, riding a horse Damn, what do you think?
Yang Yan shook his head secretly, and looked at Pu Yu again.
The two girls are of similar age and have similar figures, both of them are sturdy grassland styles, and they are both dressed in white, but Pu Yu's face is slightly softer, and there is a light plateau red on her cheeks, and Yao Xiang is almost different from Yao Xiang's face I don't want to be different, Pu Yu is jade-faced and shy, and she looks very willing.
Pu Hong took the opportunity to laugh and said: "The so-called good things come in pairs, the little girl Pu Yu has also admired the king for a long time, this time she and Yao Xiang's niece will follow the example of Empress E's daughter Ying and serve the king together, isn't it a good story for the ages" "Hahahaha" The more Pu Hong smiled, the more proud he became, and he used his eyes to pick Yao Yizhong.
Yao Yizhong's nose was almost crooked, he couldn't see that he was put on a show by Pu Hong, Pu Yu's marriage was not mentioned at all, and now Pu Hong followed behind him, and proposed it by the way, which is quite a good story of Empress E's daughter, and he was impatient to send his daughter, which not only lost face, but also lost his heart.
"Two, two" Yang Yan pressed down with both hands, and after attracting attention, he said: "The two ladies are beautiful and vibrant, and they are favored by them, and they can't help but be happy, but they are a lifelong event, and men and women will accompany each other for a lifetime, so it is better to be cautious, and the kindness of the two ladies is received by the lonely heart." ” "What" Everyone looked at Yang Yan in disbelief.
He refused Brother Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong and his son hurriedly looked at Pu Yu and Yao Xiang, the two pearls on the Kansai grassland are not beautiful enough All four shook their heads at the same time.
They don't think that the appearance of the Qiang clan is much different from that of the Jin people, they are all black-haired and black-eyed, but the contours of their faces are slightly more three-dimensional, which is nothing.
Yao Xiang and Pu Yu were even more shocked and lightly covered their mouths with their jade hands.
Pu Yu is naturally full of sadness, as the daughter of the handsome Pu Hong, she has the consciousness that marriage is involuntary, as she gets older, her heart becomes more and more uneasy, because she doesn't know what kind of person she will marry, the unknown is the most terrifying, not to mention that with Pu Hong's identity, she is most likely to marry a powerful person, that is middle-aged and ran up, until she met Yang Yan, her heart settled down.
Although she was a concubine, Yang Yanyushu was in the wind, with an elegant atmosphere, and immediately touched her girl's heart, but she was rejected Pu Yu couldn't help but caress her cheeks, is she not beautiful enough Yao Xiang also raised his head suddenly, he was rejected for marriage, he should have been happy, but why did he feel humiliated, and then turned his head to look at his father and brother.
The look on Yao Yizhong's old face was extremely unnatural, after all, refusing to marry was also a humiliation for him, so he arched his hand and said: "The king, it is either that the little girl has a shallow appearance, does not enter the eyes of the king, or is worried that her temperament is stubborn, and it is difficult to diàojiào."
If it is the former, it can only be a little girl, and she has no chance to serve the king, if it is the latter, please rest assured that although the little girl has a rough temperament, she knows the general situation and knows what to do and what not to do, so as not to lose the face of the king. ”:
