There are more than 300 and less than 400 Andalusian war horses trotting in the southern corner of the ranch, looking very comfortable.
They are the darlings of the entire ranch, and the entire ranch was built with them as the mainstay.
"Sir, there are more than 200 adult horses here, more than 40 three-year-old horses, more than 30 two-year horses, and more than 40 one-year horses.
Among them, more than 100 adult horses were sold by Macao people this year.
"Yes."
Gu Min introduced from the side.
Since reconnecting with each other, Alonzo has discovered a big business opportunity in Jeju.
Zhao Lie and others are very eager for Andalusian war horses, so Alonzo sent Macau from Lu in the past few years during his first escort.
All the Andalusian war horses imported by Song were collected and transported to Jeju.
Each horse was paid three hundred taels of silver, which was a huge profit.
Zhao Lie's eyes followed a black two-year-old horse.
The two-year-old horses were already very tall, but they were still a little less strong.
They looked shorter and slender, not as majestic as adult Andalusian horses.
It is estimated to be 1.45 meters tall.
An adult Andalusian war horse can reach a height of over 1.5 meters.
The reason why Zhao Lie pays attention to it is because it is a mischievous man who constantly harasses other horses, big and small, and is constantly chased away by other adult horses.
"Sir, here are all..., according to your Majesty, they are all purebred horses.
There are more mixed-blood horses in other places.
Now there are about two thousand three-year-old horses, two-year-old horses, and one-year-old horses.
In addition, there are three-year-old horses, three-year-old horses, and one-year-old horses.
Horses can now mate and give birth to calves.
It is estimated that in four years there will be more than 10,000 mixed-breed horses, but only a few thousand will be available for riding.
After all, the mares will have to be kept for breeding.
"Gu Min looked at Zhao Lie worriedly.
He asked himself that he had tried his best.
It takes three years for a horse to mature.
Riding and mating, so the horses here have spent countless manpower and material resources to develop, but whether they are satisfied or not is up to the adults.
"Gu Min, that's right.
You are not a horse breeder like Ma Quanfu.
But I chose you because you are studious, good at asking for advice, and patient.
The situation here is very good.
In a few years, there will be thousands to tens of thousands of these horses.
When the half-breed horse joins the Polu Army, I will congratulate you."
Zhao Lie praised.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry.
I just want to explore slowly, ask for advice, and do my best."
The thin Gu Min felt relieved.
"Four or five years from now.
How many war horses can purebred horses produce?"
Zhao Lie asked.
"It's only four to five hundred horses, and the estimated number of horses sold in Macau is less than a thousand."
Gu Min replied.
"It's still too few."
Zhao Lie lamented.
Breeding purebred horses is indeed a long and investment-intensive process that cannot be spanned in a few years.

I can’t blame China’s attempts to improve horses in history, but most of them failed half-way.
They only cost money and had no big effects.
Of course, they can’t last long.
Dust was rising in the distance, and two horses were galloping towards him.
Huang Han from Jeju City asked Zhao Lie to return to the city immediately because he had something important to report.
Zhao Lie immediately flew back to Jeju City surrounded by guards.
It's not an urgent matter, Huang Han wouldn't act like this.
"Sir, this is an urgent letter from Shi Dao.
It was just brought by two clipper ships."
Huang Han presented the two letters as soon as they met.
This is a red envelope with a flying feather stuck on it.
This is the agreement between Zhao Lie, Shidao Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen.
One, two or three flying feathers represent the degree of emergency.
If Zhao Lie is overseas, he will Two clipper ships were sent to deliver the message, just in case.
This was the first time that Zhao Lie had received a message from Fei Yu.
Zhao Lie opened a letter, which was written by Zhao Meng, telling him that Mr.
Zhou, the commander of the Jinghai Guards, had been promoted to General Linqing, and that a new commander of the guards was about to take office.
In addition, people in Shidao have been trying to find out the details in the past few months. , and even sent personnel to sneak into the Shidao Liao people to inquire, which is very bad.
I hope Zhao Lie will return soon to discuss.
Zhao Lie immediately burned the two letters after reading them.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Lie ordered Han Jianqian's headquarters to follow him back to Shidao.
"Huang Han, Fang Yu, you have to use various methods to find out information about Japan and North Korea.
I guess they will not accept defeat like this and will definitely take revenge.
We must know ourselves and the enemy.
At the same time, carefully check the Koreans.
Japan will not personally When they come to Jeju to investigate, they will definitely come through the North Koreans to find out," Zhao Lie ordered before leaving.
Regarding the Japanese country, Zhao Lie had a premonition that the Tokugawa family had already launched an action, but because there was no source of information, he didn't know anything yet.
At the end of November 8, the first year of Chongzhen, Zhao Lie took the Wei Qing and led a fleet of dozens of ships back to Shidao.
The fleet returned to Shidao to transport the Liao people.
This year, the plan to transport the Liao people from Shidao was almost completed.
Today, there are less than 60,000 Liao people left in Shidao.
After this winter, it is expected that there will be thousands of Liao people left in Shidao.
After all, there will be no shortage of warships after the fleet returns from the south.
Zhao Lie put ten newly built 500-ton galenic ships and two repaired treasure ships named Wutaishan and Songshan into transportation.
Each trip could transport more than 6,000 people.
After spring, all the Liao residents from Shidao were transported to Jeju Island, and the several-year transportation journey will be completed.
At Shidao Bay, Han Jian's troops, who had just landed at the dock, immediately began to be vigilant regardless of fatigue.
All the gems harvested from the southward trip were brought to Shidao for sale, while other gold and silver were left in Jeju Island, and a few more Months later, after all the refugees left, Jeju Island would be responsible for the food and wages of the refugees and soldiers from North China.
Brothers Zhao Lie and Zhao Meng had a lively meeting when they talked about the situation in Shidao and Beihua, Jeju.
After dinner, Zhao Lie summoned Du Li and Wang Quan at the mansion.
"Sir, since July and August last year, more than ten people have entered the kilns, shipyards, ironworks, refugee camps, etc. in Shidao.
They have been discovered and arrested by the internal security of the headquarters.
Most of them are from Jinan, Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places.
"Businessmen sent people to infiltrate the country to obtain prescriptions for our Shidao cement kiln entrance, iron factory and other places, but the few people who entered the refugee camp and shipyard were very special.
They belonged to a businessman named Pang Chengdeng Prefecture," Wang Quan said.

This is his inner guard duty.
"What are the special aspects?"
Zhao Lie asked.
He was not surprised at all that someone was coveting Shidao.
In an official-oriented world, seizing someone's property was just a matter of thought, and he had been prepared for it.
Otherwise, he would not have moved most of the shipyards, craftsmen's camps, and saltworks to Jeju Island.
He could not leave his handle on Shidao.
"This Pang Cheng is a big businessman in Dengzhou.
His family has sea ships to Korea and the Japanese country, and he is engaged in local food, groceries and other businesses in Dengzhou.
He even has clothing and pawn business.
Since there is maritime trade, there is a backend, and the maritime trade with the Japanese country is It's all smuggling, it's impossible without connections.
But this Pang Cheng never shows off and is always cautious, so no one knows who is behind him," Wang Quan said.
"How long has Pang Cheng been successful in Dengzhou?"
Zhao Lie asked.
He thought that this person was quite low-key.
Very cautious.
"Sir, this man has been prosperous in Dengzhou for more than ten years.
In the past, he was just an ordinary businessman in Dengzhou."
Wang Quan replied.
Who is this, and it is a powerful force in Dengzhou.
It cannot be the governor of Denglai, Xunhaidao, the general soldier of Dengzhou, etc.
It should be the deputy of Denglai, or a gentry family with people in the court.
Zhao Lie motioned to Du Quan to continue.
"We sent six groups of personnel to monitor Pang Cheng in turns.
After two months of investigation, we found that this person had close contacts with Yang Jingtang, the commander and commander of Denglai Du Sidu," Wang Quan said.
Zhao Lie narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that Yang Jingtang still refused to give up.
The two families had indeed taken up the grudge.
"The cousin of Yang Jingtang is Yang Jinghui, a doctor in the military selection department of the Ministry of War.
This man is an old Beijing official.
He has served as a Yuanwailang and a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of War in the Six Ministries.
He has deep connections in various yamen of the Six Ministries.
In Beijing I have also made many friends with you.
"This operation is of great importance.
The Military Intelligence Department was responsible for the investigation in the capital, and it took two months to find out.
Of course, Zhao Lie knew how powerful this department was in the Martial Arts Division.
The promotion and appointment of middle- and lower-level military generals are closely related to this department, and they are the main vacancies in the Ministry of War.
Yang Jinghui would definitely earn a lot from sitting here.
Of course, he could only secure these lucrative positions by making many friends with nobles.
After all, the greater the power in his hands, the more people he would offend.
This is a standard local snake in the capital.
He can live well in Beijing and get along well.
This is the conclusion Zhao Lie made for him.
Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and Wei Wei fell a few months later.
Yang Guodong, the Denglai general of the Yidang lineage, naturally had no good results and resigned.

He thought that the Zhao family had no one to rely on, so the Yang family was extremely restless.
Zhao Lie's order to the two men was to keep an eye on Yang Jingtang and Pang Cheng.
Yang Jinghui put it aside for the time being.
After all, the capital was a bit far away from him, the Denglai guard officer.
The one who made the move should be the one from Denglai Dusi.
After Zhao Lie rested one night on Shidao, Zhao Lie and others rushed to Qianhusuo early the next morning.
In the cold winter, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
The sound of horseshoes hitting Bing Xueer resounded throughout the wilderness.
Zhao Lie and others were all wearing armor, which made them look even colder.
Zhao Lie found that some villages had basically built new brick and tile houses, which showed that the people's lives were indeed better, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Although the population of the small thousand-household settlement was not large, he had made them live a life without food and clothing.
Worrying days.
Li Mingyu is listening to reports from his subordinates today.
The renovation of ditches in winter, composting of fields, and the purchase of grain have all been completed.
This year, the life of the Qianhushao has been better.
Most of the houses have been built last year.
This year, the military households Most of them improved their food and bought some clothes and jewelry for their wives.
Many families held weddings for their sons or daughters.
Young men and young men who had been delayed because of poverty gathered together to hold weddings.
Unable to endure the favor, Mr.
Li also attended two weddings, both of which were the marriages of the daughters of clerks below.
The weddings were very festive, but Mr.
Li lost interest when he thought of his daughter and left early.
Hearing Zhao Lie's arrival, Li Mingyu went out to greet him with mixed emotions.
"I don't dare to go out to greet Mr.
Li."
Zhao Lie helped Li Mingyu enter the official office.
"Mr.
Li, in the past few years, without Mr.
Li sitting here, how could I have conquered this country?
Sir, please accept my bow."
After sitting down, Zhao Lie stood up and bowed deeply.
"I don't dare to take it seriously.
I am old and can only look after the home and care for the home."
Li Mingyu said half-truthfully.
"Mr.
Li is less than fifty this year and is in his prime.
Boy, I will have to rely on him a lot in the future."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
He was not lying.
After all, he was a junior brother in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
He had a good character and was familiar with the general affairs.
Li Mingyu was a great help.
"Your Excellency, you are very grateful.
I believe that after several years of experience, Your Excellency, you are enough to stand alone."

Li Mingyu said with a smile.
This is not a lie, Zhao Lie is twenty years old this year.
After several years of experience, he has become more calm, and his actions show the magnanimity of a superior.
He is no longer the same as the black boy a few years ago.
After a while, Deputy Qianhu Zhu Ying and others arrived, and they had their own pleasantries. s: Thank you to game player 171819 for your monthly ticket reward, thank you to all the book friends who subscribed and rewarded, thank you for your silent support, and wish you all the best
