After a long day of commotion, each tenant drew lots, and then received his own two cows, one large and one small.
The tenants who took the ropes were in high spirits, and kept circling around their cattle, but fortunately, the buffalo was tame and did not suddenly pluck its hooves or use its horns to push people.
Only the three male buffaloes were fierce, and their eyes were red.
These three bulls are tied far apart, and the bulls will fight together, especially when there is a large herd of female buffaloes here, which is easier to fight.
This veterinarian is a slave of the Shan family, and now Shan Xiongxin has given his family to Zhang Chao.
Giving people as gifts, Zhang Chao was a little uncomfortable, but everyone had already sent them, and this was the veterinarian that Zhang Chao needed very much, so Zhang Chao finally stayed.
The slaves of the Zhang family increased to a family of five, and Zhang Chao, the landlord, became more and more decent.
The veterinarian's surname is Niu, called Niu Deqing, and it is said that he has been a veterinarian for generations.
Niu Deqing is over 50 years old, and he is a little thin, but it is said that he has a strong ability to heal livestock, and he can not only treat cattle and horses, but also see cattle and horses, and he can see the performance of the cow only by the swirls on the cow.
He also knows castration and is very good at it.
He had two sons and a daughter, both of whom were adults, but they were not married.
The eldest son is thirty years old and is still single, but he studied veterinary medicine with Lao Niu, and is especially proficient in castration.
The second son, who is also in his twenties, is more proficient in treating cattle.
My daughter is also fifteen years old this year, and she is not married yet.
Because the old cow is a slave, and his children are also slaves, he cannot marry a good people, but only a slave.
Moreover, their slave status is therefore the property of the single family, and the marriage match must also be decided by the single family.
Shan Xiongxin has been fighting all these years, but he has ignored the Niu family.
Niu Deqing Ye has been telling the villagers how to take care of the cow, such as which manifestations of the cow are sick, and what kind of performance the cow will be after estrus, and the cow must be taken to Zhangjiagou immediately after estrus to breed.
He also gave the villagers some medicines, all of which he had prepared himself, to treat parasites.
Cattle often have cattle lice, if not treated, will suck the blood of the cow and make the cow lose weight, which is very bad for the cow to survive the winter.
Zhang Chao kept accepting the gratitude of the villagers, and the muscles on his face were almost stiff with laughter.
"Uncle Niu."
Zhang Chao greeted Niu Deqing, and Niu Deqing hurriedly surrendered his hand, "The owner, don't dare to be, just call me Lao Niu." ” "That's right, I think this buffalo is so big, although it is tame, it is a little clumsy.
You see, sometimes people can't even pull him, which is not conducive to farming. ” "Shaodong, the cow, is definitely not as agile as the horse."
"I've heard before that if you put a hole in a cow's nose, you put a nose ring around it, and then you tie the rope to it.
Then you can lead the cow by the nose, and the cow will be very obedient.
With a gentle pull, the cow was obedient. ” Zhang Chao discovered early that the cattle of this era did not wear noses, and the cattle were similar to horses, and they made a cage on the head of the cow.
It's pulling the cow's head, not the cow's nose.
One of the disadvantages of carrying a bull's head is that it is not very sensitive, and sometimes it can't be pulled at all.
Zhang Chao thought about wearing a nose ring on the cow.
After all, the cattle of later generations wore nose rings, which proves that nose rings are useful, so why not use them.
Zhang Chao thought that the people of the Tang Dynasty did not know how to wear nose rings on cattle, but Niu Deqing's words surprised him very much.
According to Niu Deqing's words, in fact, the ring for cattle has been around for a long time, and it has been in the Spring and Autumn Period.
It's just that now, not everyone has put a ring on the cow.
"Wearing a nose ring can indeed better control cattle, but cattle are generally the most suitable to wear rings when they are one to one and a half years old, and it is not easy to wear after this age."
Zhang Chao touched his head, a little embarrassed, and thought that he was going to make history, who knew that people already had a history of wearing rings.
"Can't these big cows wear them?"
"You can wear it."
Niu Deqing said with certainty that this is an all-round veterinarian who has experience in piercing rings.
Zhang Chao thought about it and felt that it was better to wear a ring.
If you want to sell your cattle in the future, this can also be regarded as a selling point.
The cattle veterinarian also wanted to show his hand in front of the new owner, and decided right away that these cattle would wear nose rings.
It's not difficult to put a nose ring on a cow.
First of all, you have to get two large wooden stakes nailed to the ground and build a simple shelf.
This rack, like the one in the bullring before the cattle come out, is very narrow, just enough for the cows to stand in.

The ox stood inside, with shelves made of stakes on either side, and it couldn't turn around.
Then a rope was used to tie the four feet of the ox to the stake.
There will also be a wooden bar in front that is lowered to jam the cow's neck.
This is not enough, you have to take a few ropes, tie the two horns as well, and together with the rope of the halter, several big men pull the rope together so that the bull's head cannot move.
After doing all this, the cattle veterinarian called his two sons.
"Big cow and two cows, come here and hold the cow's head."
Niu Da Niu Er is not the first time to tie the nose ring of the cow, the two of them skillfully hugged the cow's head, Zhang Chao noticed that after the two brothers hugged the cow's head, they also made the cow lower its head.
"The cow has to lower its head before it can pierce its nose."
The old bull took out a large iron hammer from his toolbox, and it looked like he was about to pierce it.
Zhang Chao stopped him.
"Put it on the fire and roast it first."
Niu Deqing wanted to say that he had worn so many cow noses and used you to teach him, but the words were said by the owner, so he had to ask someone to bring a pot of charcoal and roast it with an iron hammer first.
Zhang Chao also gathered to watch the excitement, and after the iron drill cooled, Niu Deqing grabbed the cow's nose and explained to him, "The cow wears the nose ring, and the position is in the middle of the cow's nose septum, where there is a light white spot larger than a mung bean, and you must grasp it accurately when wearing it."
It can't be too high, it can't be too low, it's too up, the cow doesn't feel anything, and the servant doesn't listen to the call.
But if you wear it too low, the cow's nose can't be pulled for a few years, and it is easy to be pulled out. ” As he spoke, the old cow held the cow's nose with his left hand, and the drill in his right hand had been accurately pierced.
As soon as he went down, blood gushed out from the cow's nose.
The villagers who were watching on the sidelines sighed, many of them had never seen a cow piercing their noses, and they were distressed when they saw a cow bleeding.
In particular, the owner of the cow clapped his hands and stomped his feet anxiously, eager to kick the old cow away.
After tying the hole, the old cow immediately took a rope, first tied a big knot at one end, then passed the other end through the cow's nose, and finally tied a hard knot at the other end, so that the two big knots were stuck on both sides of the cow's nose.
"The wound of the cow's nose will heal itself in a few days, and then you can change it to a wooden bolt, or directly replace it with an iron or copper ring, and then it is more convenient to tie the rope."
Lao Niu looked at the distressed appearance of the villagers, and said, "Don't worry, the place where the cow pierces its nostrils actually can't hurt the cow, it's just like a person's earlobe, and it looks like a little blood, it's fine, and it will be fine in a few days."
Then you will be able to lead the ox by the nose, and no matter how strong the ox is, he will have to obediently listen to you, pointing to the east, he can't go west, pointing west, he doesn't dare to go east, he doesn't have to hit it. ” Niu Da Niu Er let go of the cow, and a few villagers who were pulling the rope over there also let go of their hands.
The old man Zhao hurriedly took a few sons to untie the corbels on the stake, the ropes were untied, and the bar that stuck the cow's neck was also pulled up, and the old man hurriedly pulled the ox out.
The big buffalo's tongue kept licking the bleeding nose, and the old man was very distressed.
"Don't touch the nose of the cow or the knot for these two days, but take the cow with the rope of the cow's halter.
After seven or eight days, you can change the bull ring, and you don't have to use the cow halter so troublesomely. ” "Next end."
The old cow shouted very domineeringly.
Every cow, the old cow is only pierced once, and it is accurate as soon as it is pierced.
Zhang Chao watched it for a while, and then lost interest, he went to look at the mules.
Daddy is taking a group of village soldiers there to watch the mules, these mules are the descendants of horses and donkeys, but they are quite large, and they even look a little like Yunnan horses.
"This mule is good, and it has good stamina.
Look at these hooves, the legs are thick and straight, good mules.
Daddy looked around the mule and was very satisfied.
In the past, when they went out to fight, not only did they have to bring their own equipment, but each group had to have a tent and other things.
And each team has to add a lot of equipment, lack of mules and horses, and many equipment have to be carried by themselves.
The march was very tiring, and the march was more tiring than the battle.
The baggage convoy of the imperial court only transports grain and grass, etc., and will not help them transport these government soldiers and equipment.
This time, the imperial court asked the government soldiers to prepare their own mules and horses, also considering that the government soldiers were equipped more and more, and the march without mules and horses was too slow.
A gang of six mules.
There are conditions, of course, one person and one mule.
If there is no condition, then ten people will buy six heads.
Of course, these mules, when they set out on the expedition, were not allowed to ride, and they were carrying heavy loads.
If you want to ride, you have to bring your own horse, and if you have money, you can buy a horse, and if you don't have money, you can buy a donkey.
The Weifu army of the Tang Dynasty is so magical, all kinds of equipment are almost self-prepared, only the horses, spears, hard bows, crossbows, and armor of the cavalry troops are provided by the imperial court.
You have to bring your own equipment.

If you have money, you can ride horses and horses, and you can even bring your own iron armor, even if you are a small soldier.
But if you're in poor condition, you'll have to walk on two legs and even have to carry your own gear.
Aside from simple knives and guns, there will be no additional equipment.
Dad himself has a war horse, because he is an officer, this war horse is a must-match.
"The mule is good."
Ke Wu is still the head of the White Deer Riding Mansion now, "San Lang, we want to buy some more mules, do you see if we can do it?"
"Buy More" "A few of us want to buy another one for a mount."
Ke Shan said.
Zhang Chao smiled, "If you want a mount, just buy a horse directly." ” "It's too expensive to buy a horse, it's better to buy a mule, I think this mule is very good, and if you nail it to the palm, you can ride it too."
We are not cavalry or officers, and getting a mule is a marching age, and we don't gallop and charge, and we don't need to buy horses. ” A good war horse costs a hundred, but a mule costs only twenty or thirty dollars.
Buying a horse, Keshan they think is too expensive, but buying a mule is still affordable.
Zhang Chao smiled and no longer insisted.
"Okay, I'll send a letter to Uncle Shan, and ask him to help get a batch of mules again."
