If the area along the river gives up the cultivated farmland and transforms it into a horse farm, it will also be an extremely high-quality horse breeding land.However, for Li Jie, big livestock is not an urgent need now, and it is enough to buy some short horses and pack horses.And according to the configuration of Baisha Village, the cavalry will not be needed for the time being.It's just that since he decided to engage in breeding, his attitude is to let his subordinates know, so as not to discriminate against those engaged in breeding internally.In addition, because he purchased horses, the members of the Zi clan who asked him for shelter were willing to use this as a starting point to participate in the construction of Jiangyinyi.Ziqi's political legacy is quite rich, not only domestically, but also internationally.Let Li Xie buy big animals by himself, even if it is a crappy short horse, he does not have a very good channel, so he can only purchase bulk goods from the international market.But when it comes to Zishi, it's very different.Whether in the south or in the north, the Zi family has very rich interpersonal relationships.Taking the state of Chu as an example, the state of Chu has been harshly suppressing the Yangyue tribes, and they have a kind of pack horse.The importance of this horse in the Yangyue tribes is almost equal to that of the cattle of Zhuxia.Of course, in fact, cattle are also very important to the Yangyue tribes.However, in the early days of Zhuxia's expansion, cattle were an important material that would definitely be plundered, so the importance of pack horses gradually increased in the process of taking refuge in the mountains from the plains to the mountains of the southern Fang Kingdom.This is a last resort, but there is no need for those who are alive to pursue the cause.In the early and late stages of Gou Chen's presiding over the invasion of Chu, Ziqi rebelled against a large number of Yangyue tribes in Chu through the relationship of his ancestors.The state of Wu armed some tribes, and then let these tribes escape from the control of the state of Chu, so that they could continue to flee south and gain living space.With this friendship, the Zi clan was able to penetrate into the Yangyue tribe in the southern region of Chu through the natural water network of the Yangtze River.And there, the Zi clan was able to trade the pack horses that Li Xie needed.Although this mountain horse is short, it is hard-working, has very low feed requirements, and because the coat changes with the seasons, it is also cold and heat tolerant.Except that it can't be ridden around slashing people and grabbing turf, it can do almost anything.There is another feature that Li Xie likes very much, that is, this kind of horse does not get sick after the ship, that is, it is transported from the southern region of Chu to Jiangyinyi, and there is no need to worry about a large number of casualties on the way.This advantage alone is enough to make Li Xie tempted.As for the horses in the north, if they are thrown to the south, they have no advantage, even if they are the top BMWs of the Qin State, they are mostly dead ends when they come to the mouth of the Yangtze River.However, since Li Xie needed it, even if the cost was high and the price was amazing, the Zi clan did not care about transporting good horses from Qin to Jiangdong.After the total amount goes up, no matter how high the mortality rate is, a few horses can survive.With the resources of the Zi clan, Li Xie was not ambiguous, and directly organized a wave of manpower to open up a horse farm near Yangkou Dabu in Jiangbei.The scale of the horse farm is not large, and the main purpose is not for war horses, it is enough to be able to stably produce mares to give birth to mules.After the number of mules increased, the cost-effectiveness ratio of mounted infantry was far more cost-effective than that of pure cavalry.The average medium power could not even afford to lose a horse in an encounter.At present, only the three countries of Qin, Jin, and Yan can bear the consumption of war horses, and even the Qi State, which is also a big country in the north, cannot bear this brainless consumption.It is better to use war horses on chariots than on cavalry."
Shou Li, when the summer comes, you can go to Chunan.""
Can the Yangyue tribes be contacted?""
Yes."
After moving to Shangxi and Xiaxi, the members of the Zi clan are very honest, they will work when they should work, and if they don't want to work, they will stay in Gusu and lose, anyway, Dazaiko has been corrupted for so many years, and the family wealth will not be wasted.And no matter how the losers toss in Gusu, they have no worries now, someone is doing them, what are you afraid of?
Running to Jiangyinyi, there are macho men covering, they are afraid of a bird, there is a kind of one-on-one with macho men?
Even if they fight with macho men, they are not afraid, because macho men are also covered, and they are still the biggest one in Wu Kingdom.The losers are not purely drunk and dreaming of death in Gusu City, not to mention that Gusu City is not very lively now, there is a Gongzi Yin who died in front of him, and the low-level officers who served Gongzi Yin are now all assigned to the front line, and in the process of distribution, not to mention the ministers, the most stubborn little nobles have not tried to win them over.These low-level officers who coaxed Gongziyin to make trouble at the beginning have no way out at all now except to serve King Wu.Therefore, in the Wangji area, as well as near the Wangji area, there is really only Li Xie who can be regarded as famous and famous.Gusu is not without an old general, but how can the name be as loud as last year's "macho man shock"?
Besides, Li Xie is also a celebrity in front of the king, and among the figures who have recently mixed into the ruling class, Li Xie is the most earthy one.From a rational and psychological point of view, without the Dazaizi family, Li Xie feels more secure."
How much does the pack horse expect to be able to come back to the market?""
Five hundred, two or three thousand.""
So much?""
Shou Li doesn't know, Yangyue doesn't live, and he intermarries with Jingman, Jingman and Bashu exchange markets, Bashu is prolific with mountain horses, so Yangyue has many remnants of the world, and there are many mountain horses."
At this time, the status of mountain horses in the southern barbarian tribes is quite special, in addition to taking on the household packing, in fact, they also have to assume a part of the function of cattle, that is, arable land.Whether it is Jing Man or Yang Yue, their social subjects are different from Zhu Xia, not in the "family" as the unit, but in the "family" as the unit.Therefore, a "family" must have large livestock to sustain and reproduce.At a critical time, the mountain horse can also save a "home" by killing and taking meat.The underdeveloped farming technology makes most of the Yangyue tribes nomadic farming, taking into account fishing and mountain grazing, which highlights the importance of mountain horses and pack horses.Because of the importance, coupled with the fact that the weak chickens huddle together for warmth, it also leads to the number of mountain horses, which are quite good among Yangyue, Jingman, and Bashu.In a word, these rookies have nothing left, but horses are a must."
What to trade?"
Li Xie asked directly about the point, the Zi clan was willing to work under him, and it was the Zi clan's business.But it doesn't mean that the Zi clan can be squeezed endlessly, and if you want the Zi clan to completely integrate into the system of Jiangyin Yi, either Li Xie has no patience to directly and violently annex it, or it can be simmered slowly and methodically.At least now, it seems that it is not cost-effective to eat and drink the sea and drink, and it will make the old monster of Gusu feel that he is "afraid of power but not virtuous".Occasionally gentle, an ugly man like him will also make people feel good.The contrast is cute."
Stone tools are fine."
After thinking about it, the people of the Zi clan were also sincere, "Although the Yangyue tribes have gold tools, most of them are armor soldiers, and the daily utensils are very unbearable.If you get the stone tools of Yinxiang, it is already very good. ”"Hmm."
Li Xie nodded, thought about it for a while, and thought that it would be quite cost-effective to do this.Anyway, a group of sheep is driven, and two flocks of sheep are released, what is the difference between selling to the villagers in Shaye and selling to the barbarians in Yangyue?
This trade is done.
