On this day, Li Liangzuo had just finished physical training and was about to eat, when Hu Mu, the director of Taipu Division, hurriedly came to Li Liangzuo's big tent; Taipu Division is an institution specializing in cultivating military horses, because military horses belong to special strategic resources in ancient times, so Taipu Division is temporarily deployed under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but a special institution under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.
"Weichen Hu Mu greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After Hu Mu saw Li Liangzuo, he knelt down and saluted.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said to Hu Mu: "Hu Aiqing, you came just in time for dinner, there is mutton at noon today, Li Yi went to help Hu Aiqing get a meal." ” "Yes, Your Majesty" After Li Yi left, Hu Mu said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, are you still in the mood to eat mutton when you look at Weichen like this, but you are about to die of Weichen in the past two days." ” Li Liangzuo put down the rice bowl in his hand, frowned and said, "What's the matter, don't tell me that there is a problem with the military horse." ” "Your Majesty, it's the military horse that has a problem."
Hu Mu said stubbornly.
Li Liangzuo heard the sound of "bang" and buckled the bowl to the dragon case, stood up and pointed at Hu Mu's nose and reprimanded: "You are too Pusi, even the military horses have problems, what else do I want you to do?"
Hu Mu said with a face full of grievances: "Your Majesty, you can't blame Weichen for this, I haven't seen this horse breeder in the world." ” "You can tell me what the hell is going on."
Li Liangzuo sat down, put the food that was buckled on the dragon case into the bowl and said.
Hu Mu immediately said to Li Liangzuo: "Since Your Majesty asked Weichen to add flesh and blood to the forage, many war horses refused to eat the forage, and as a result, they were starved to death. ” Li Liangzuo frowned and asked, "How many have you died?"
"Of the first batch of 50,000 war horses, more than 40,000 have died."
Hu Mu said distressedly.
"In your opinion, the 40,000 improved war horses I need can only be improved if there are more war horses," Li Liangzuo asked Hu Mu.
Hu Mu thought for a while and said, "At least 200,000 war horses are needed. ” "Okay, I will give you 200,000 war horses, but I must breed these 40,000 improved war horses within two years."
Li Liangzuo said with determination.
Hu Mu said distressedly: "Your Majesty, this is a twenty excellent war horse, do you really bear it?"
"I'd rather die more horses than brothers, you know," Li Liangzuo said firmly; "These 40,000 war horses will be handed over to the heavily armored knights in the future, and they don't have enough physical strength, so they will take my soldiers to death, do you understand?"
"Wechen understands, Wechen takes the order."
Hu Mu took over the military order; "It's just Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Weichen won't be able to complete all the tasks assigned by His Majesty in two years."
"Then how much can you accomplish," Li Liangzuo asked again.
Hu Mu said confidently: "Weichen can guarantee all kinds of horses needed by the heavy armored cavalry division and the light cavalry division. ” "What about my mounted infantry division, when will those war horses be resolved," Li Liangzuo continued to ask.
"At least four years from now."
Hu Mu said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo said with some anger: "After four years, the daylilies are cold, and now how many horses do I have in the Great Xia Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, what is daylily?"
asked Hu Mu curiously.
Only then did Li Liangzuo realize that he had slipped his mouth again, so he quibbled and said: "This is not important, answer my question." ” "Yes, Your Majesty now has a total of 500,000 war horses, including the border army and the Imperial Forest Army," Hu Mu said to Li Liangzuo; "But these are far from enough, if you count the wartime consumption and replenishment, at least 700,000 horses."
Li Liangzuo did not expect that the shortage of horses would be so large; So Li Liangzuo asked Hu Mu: "Is there anything you can do about such a big gap?"
"Weichen asked for the order to reopen the Damaying Grassland Military Horse Farm, the Damaying Grassland is located in Xuanhua Mansion, which has been a place to breed war horses for the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor has been turbulent, and the military horse farm has been slowly abolished; After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, I have been cultivating war horses at the foot of Helan Mountain, and now His Majesty needs a huge number of war horses, so Wei Chen asked His Majesty to vigorously cultivate war horses in the Hexi Corridor.
Hu Mu said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo thought for a moment and said: "Hu Aiqing, you should know that although the Hexi Corridor is now under my control, it is also facing threats, and the people who are entrenched in the area of the Qingtang River are eyeing the Hexi Corridor, if I put such a large number of war horses under his nose, do you think I can rest assured?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen means to place a stallion in Hexi, and the cultivation of this war horse will take three or four years from a stallion to a mature war horse, and after these three or four years, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have already solved the problem."
Hu Mu said to Li Liangzuo.
"Okay, I'm right."
Li Liangzuo agreed; "But you have to promise me that these stallions must be protected."
"Yes, Weichen takes the order."
Hu Mu said happily.
As soon as the two finished speaking, Li Yi came in with a meal, in fact, the so-called meal was in a big bowl, and the rice and vegetables were together; This meal was the same as Li Liangzuo and all the soldiers, a large portion of rice was covered with some greens and pickles, and then there were two large pieces of mutton, which was the standard meal of the new army at noon every day.
Hu Mu was not polite, under Li Liangzuo's signal, he sat on the stool next to him and ate heavily, he hadn't eaten for a morning, Hu Mu was already hungry, Li Liangzuo looked at Hu Mu who was gobbling up and smiled, picked up the food he had just received in the bowl and continued to eat; After this meal, there was a new question in front of Li Liangzuo.
There are no horses in the cavalry infantry division, Li Liangzuo must solve it within two years, and there is obviously only one way to solve the problem of this war horse, that is, to rob; War horses as an important strategic material can not be bought, and if you grab it, you can only start from the Liao State in the north, this is a tiger's mouth, as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Liangzuo does not want to start a war with the Liao State.
Since the problem of war horses cannot be solved, then they can only find a way to find an alternative tool, and after thinking about it for several days, Li Liangzuo thought of a thing in the future, that is, bicycles; Li Liangzuo planned to build a large number of bicycles to be used as a substitute for the infantry, which was obviously much better than horses as a means of transportation.
"Weichen Jin Shoucheng greets Your Majesty."
Jin Shoucheng saluted after seeing Li Liangzuo.
After Li Liangzuo saw Jin Shoucheng, he immediately pulled Jin Shoucheng to the side of the dragon case, handed over the drawings that had been drawn a long time ago to Jin Shoucheng and asked, "Aiqing, can you see if this thing can be made?"
Jin Shoucheng looked at the drawings and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what material this thing is made of, I'm afraid it can't be made of wood alone."
Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said: "Jin Aiqing, most of this is made of wood, you see that this frame and wheels can be made of wood, but this wheel and axle need to be made of iron, and this chain also needs to be made of iron." ” "Your Majesty, this axle is easy to say, this chain has never been seen by Weichen," Jin Shoucheng said to Li Liangzuo.

"You build this axle according to this drawing, you build this chain according to this drawing, and the balls in this axle should be the same size, you can find a way to make the molten iron drip into the fine sand through a pipe, and there will be balls after the cooling is completed" Li Liangzuo said to Jin Shoucheng while gesturing, and finally Li Liangzuo asked; "I'll be able to get a sample in a few days."
"If it goes well, Wechen will be able to produce a sample in three days."
Jin Shoucheng said to Li Liangzuo.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
Li Liangzuo said with a smile.
