"My lord, please come this way."
Gu Min smiled and gave in.
He was also very excited.
Mr.
Zhao came to inspect in person, which shows that he has taken his years as an adult in his heart.
The racecourse is not as unknown as it appears.
Zhao Lie and his party were led by Gu Min to an earthen platform.
"Sir, a large number of war horses will come out of the stables soon to run circles."
Gu Min pointed at the large stables, which looked very grand from this angle.
Zhao Lie set up a pergola and looked around.
Hundreds of wooden houses were arranged in this area for several miles.
They were all made of logs inside and covered with yellow mud on the outside.
They were not beautiful at all, but they were practical.
After all, they needed to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
To save money, this is the best way to build a local stable.
Gu Min and Silva took Zhao Lie to check out the largest horse breeding farm, all of which breed Shidao horses.
Today, Shidao horses are still the main force, and the Andalusian war horse population is too small, making it difficult to grow.
The number of Andalusian war horses will not see a big breakthrough in ten or twenty years.
Zhao Lie now uses the mixed-blood Shidao horses as his main force.
Gu Min also knew that Mr.
Zhao was most concerned about the cultivation of Shidao horses, so he came to this largest racecourse on behalf of Zhao Lie.
In front of the platform where Zhao Lie is located is a pen with a radius of several miles, which is where the horses can move.
"Sir, in order to keep the horses' muscles strong, they are let out to stretch their legs and feet even in winter."
Gu Min said looking at Zhao Lie's face.
"Well, you are good at this.
You don't need to tell me the process.
I just want a war horse that is active and obedient."
There is a specialization in martial arts.
Zhao Lie spent all this money and food just to get a war horse that can go into battle.
Everything else is just a cloud.
"Don't worry, sir.
This racecourse has 1,500 mares and over 4,000 ponies aged one to three years old.
Among them, there are more than 1,100 mature horses aged three to four years old.
Li Lu Sir, I have been greedy for a long time."
Gu Min said with a smile.
He now controls more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 servants, and shoulders the important task of raising war horses for the Polu army.
But to put it bluntly, he is just a horse herder, and people in Jeju usually dare not offend him.
But it doesn't matter how much attention he attaches to it.
To put it bluntly, in his opinion, it's hard to say whether he can succeed in raising horses.
But since the news came out that a large number of horses will be put on the market, Li Lulai has been diligent.
The attitude is also different, it's a bit flattering.
It's like seeing a successful horse breeder, it's like coming on a first come first served basis.
Gu Min did not dare to agree to release the horse to him privately.
This was what Mr.
Zhao was most concerned about.

He knew how important it was, and Gu Min couldn't stand the kindness, so he assigned two good Shidao war horses to him, but he didn't dare to do anything else, otherwise Master Zhao would not be able to bear the blame.
"He asked the general, but he has all the good slaves here.
What's the use of keeping them, just riding them for fun."
Zhao Lie shook his head.
"Gu Min, I am not hiding this from you.
Without horses, the Polu army will not dare to fight Jiannu for a day.
Do you know the critical point?"
"Gu Min dare not forget what your Excellency said back then."
Gu Min said respectfully.
"You have worked hard here for these years, and I know it well.
Don't worry, I will never forget your merits.
Your merits are stronger than those of the brothers who dominate the battlefield."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir."
Gu Min's eyes turned red.
For more than three years in this quiet place, it was just a job of raising horses, watching those old brothers' martial arts and martial arts, and looking at my own family.
It is impossible to say that there are no complaints.
This time, the words of an adult are enough.
These years of lonely hard work have finally not been in vain.
He patted Gu Min on the shoulder and comforted him.
At this time, a burst of noise sounded.
The neighing of horses came from the chaotic sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.
From several stables at the back, hundreds of war horses were jogging towards the pens.
The Korean servants riding on both sides waved their whips and drove the horses straight to the entrance.
"Sir, please see, these are war horses over three years old, and they can all be put out of the market immediately."
Gu Min said excitedly.
Amidst the roar of horseshoes, these war horses moved from far to near, their heads and tails intertwined, like an undulating wave, with gray, chestnut, black, and brown-red manes floating, and the dust kicked up by their steps was floating.
They move forward needlessly like a moving military formation, their shiny fur and beating muscles full of wild beauty.
Zhao Lie watched in fascination as this formation composed of strong muscles, flowing hair, and wild eyes rumbled past.
He sighed inwardly, no wonder people in the human era love horses so much.
They are really magical animals that can be ridden by humans, can carry objects, can go into battle to kill enemies, and are closely connected with people and inseparable.
Zhao Lie and others stepped off the platform and came to the edge of the fence, watching the horses neighing and rejoicing.
"Are all the servants here Korean?"
Zhao Lie asked.
"Master Bing, most of them are Koreans.
After all, these people have been doing this for generations.
They have no skills at all.
As long as they are not corrupt and use them well," Gu Min replied.
"They are satisfied with the salary given."
"Sir, of course they are satisfied.
In the past, it was a common practice for the racecourse officials here to skimp.
They could only get half a year's rations a year.
The rest of the time they were miserable.
Now they are getting full rations.
If they perform well, they will be rewarded.

How can they not be grateful?"
Gu.
Mo smiled.
"That's good."
Zhao Lie nodded.
Whenever you want to win over these foreigners, you have to use both kindness and power.
"Furthermore, they were just official slaves back then, and they were all registered slaves for generations.
Now that you have abolished their slave status, it is useless for the King of Korea to kneel down and beg them to let him go."
Gu Min chuckled.
Smiling unkindly.
Zhao Lie shook his head slightly.
How can I say this?
Nowadays, there are fewer Han people who have crossed the sea from Shandong and Dongjiang to Liaodong and become slaves.
In order to survive and stutter, slave citizenship is the second best thing.
The Ming Dynasty could not give them a bite to eat, so it was not surprising that they fled to Liaodong.
It's ironic to think about it, but a few years ago, millions of Liao people fled Liaodong, and just a few years later, the Han people fled back to Liaodong.
This shows that the rulers' governance has a great impact on the people.
At that time, the old slave was good at killing Han people, and the war in Liaodong was everywhere, and all the Han people fled.
However, Huang Taiji made good use of Han officials to lead the Han people to farm, which in turn attracted a large number of Han people to defect.
It is embarrassing to think about it.
"Sir, the horses in the racecourse are out for activities.
At this time, the servants take advantage of this time to clean the stables, clear away the dirt, replace the grass, and clean the water.
After the cleaning is completed, the horses are returned to the stables, and the next batch of horses comes out, so staggered, Otherwise, there won’t be that many manpower.”
Gu Min didn’t know what Zhao Lie was thinking, so he just explained the process of the racecourse to Zhao Lie.
Gu Min talked endlessly about the operation of the racecourse.
After lunch, the group came to a smaller horse farm, which is where Andalusian war horses are cultivated, and there are also some secrets.
There are two checkpoints on the roadside three miles away from the racecourse, which are controlled by Jeju Town soldiers and are heavily protected.
Zhao Lie and his entourage entered the horse farm and saw more than two hundred Andalusian war horses trotting in the pen.
The servants drove them to run and exercise their muscles.
After all, they were kept in the stables at night.
At this time, the war horses were the only ones.
When active.
These war horses are much larger than the Shidao horses just now.
If the Shidao horses just now have shoulders as high as an average person's chest, these horses' shoulders are as high as a person's neck.
The slender figure with exposed muscles and bones shows a wild beauty everywhere.
It is as awe-inspiring as a mythical beast.
It is truly a masterpiece of God.
Zhao Lie took a good look at the heroic appearance of the Andalusian war horses, and was led by Gu Min to a more remote pen in the racecourse.
A small square formation here is waiting for Zhao Lie's arrival.
A hundred steps away, the flash of Gothic armor was flashing.
Fifty fully armored cavalry were sitting upright on their horses, silently facing the direction of Zhao Lie.
"Salute."
President Bai shouted loudly.
All the soldiers patted their chests on their horses and saluted.
"Li Ming, the 300th General of the Jeju Town Cavalry, pays homage to your lord."

Li Ming, the 100th General, bowed.
"You are in armor, so there is no need to be polite."
Zhao Lie said while returning the military salute.
These fully armored cavalry began to urge their horses to trot, and the heavy sound of horse hooves roared, shaking people's eardrums.
The reason for such a heavy roar is that these fully armored cavalry are not only soldiers in full armor, but their mounts are also full-body Gothic vests.
The man and horse plus two sets of armored weapons are extremely heavy, so the sound of the horses' hooves on the ground is very different.
The speed of the horses in the entire phalanx did not increase rapidly, but it could be said that it increased slowly, because the armor was too heavy, and it was impossible to accelerate fast, and it was unimaginable to gallop like a light horse.
Gradually, the horses picked up speed, and a large plume of smoke and dust rose up.
Maintaining high speed, the phalanx galloped at full speed, nearly a mile.
Then under the order of General Li Ming, the entire phalanx slowed down, gradually stopped, and reorganized.
These Andalusian war horses were breathing fiercely, and the white air they exhaled was extremely rapid, several times faster than before.
After a moment, the assembled phalanx began to sprint back, but this time it stopped after running more than a hundred steps less than the last time.
Zhao Lie, who was more than a hundred steps away, could hear the wheezing and panting of the war horse clearly.
"My lord, this phalanx was secretly planned by your lord.
It has just become an army.
The men and horses are fully armored and have infinite power.
It's just the same.
They can't run for too long, and they can't be left alone, otherwise they will be too clumsy."
Gu Min looked at Zhao Lie cautiously.
After this small military formation was formed and practiced many times, Gu Min has discovered the pros and cons.
The strong point is that this military formation is extremely protective.
It's like being covered with an iron can.
It can't hurt him easily, and its impact is also strong. , the general cavalry is simply not enough to block it.
However, if you hit it at full speed, you can only maintain a distance of nearly one mile, and it cannot last long.
After all, the load is too heavy.
That is, this horse, if replaced by a Mongolian horse, it would not be good if it could run a hundred steps.
Zhao Lie just raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said nothing.
Yes, this military formation has weaknesses, but its strengths are also extraordinary.
It is equivalent to the armored vehicles of this era.
If used properly, it is of course indestructible.
Otherwise, it would be a joke to use it for guerrilla pursuit. .
Zhao Lie had a good chat with Li Ming and others, and even rode a fully armored war horse for a run, and finally returned satisfied. s: Thank you to game player 171819 for your reward, thank you to deng0346ss for your reward of 100 points, thank you to friends who subscribed and recommended, thank you for your long-term support, and wish you a happy new year
