Clam Pearl

However, he said that Gu Maobing has been raising war horses in the border for many years, and now he has finally achieved results. Therefore, starting from the spring equinox of this year, he will bring the servants below, and the family will drive thousands of high-quality crossbred horses. It was sent from Yangboguan in Xijiang to Shangjing.

Needless to say about the hardships along the way, but Gu Maobing has a wandering temperament. When others asked him, he just smiled and never talked about the hardships he went through, taking everything for granted.At the beginning, my uncle asked him to raise horses, so he went.He has nothing to worry about, just an idle person in the drama, he never thinks that he is a person with great promise.

Ah Run admired Gu Zhao's nephew very much. He thought that Ah Zhao must have told this little guy to die, and he would die without saying a word.Sometimes the lineage of the surname Gu is beyond comprehension by normal people.

Groups of war horses were transported back to Shangjing, and more than 200 horses died of various reasons during the bumpy journey. These deaths also left a valuable experience for future war horse transportation.Now these precious horses are being raised together in the Okura Ranch on the outskirts of Shangjing.

When this [-] mu open land was assigned to Qianding Division, many ministers came out to oppose it, but now, as soon as the horses came out, there was no sound.

When Gu Zhao built the big warehouse, he thought about many future problems. At that time, everyone felt strange, because at the beginning, Gu Zhao raised groups of cattle and donkeys in the suburbs, and the money alone was nearly hundreds of thousands of guan, tens of thousands. Wanguan's special investment, this is the first time in this world, except for war funding.At the beginning, Gu Zhao wrote a memorial to apply for funds, but the ministers headed by Ding Ying immediately opposed it.

The development of animal husbandry for sheep, cattle and horses is a good thing, and they support it, but the state cannot afford the expenditure, so who will pay for it?Later, Gu Zhao waved his hand, and he paid for it himself. His salary, his fiefdom, and his family's private income were all used to raise livestock.

Therefore, Gu Zhao's big warehouse also has a nickname, called animal warehouse.The commendatory and derogatory meanings here naturally depend on people's comprehension.

In addition to raising cattle and donkeys, Gu Zhao also recruited people from the Ministry of Agriculture to study animal husbandry, develop high-quality pasture feed, and bought official slaves to train the first generation of veterinarians of this era in batches.

These actions were ridiculed and ridiculed at the time.Dao, Gu Da fool is sleeping in the morning, Gu Er fool is raising donkeys in the suburbs, Gu San fool is raising horses in the border, and a barn is making a living.This family spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year playing with livestock, but they really play differently.

For the ridicule from the outside, Gu Zhao just pretended not to know, so he did what he should do. As for Gu Yan, the patriarch of his family, he often didn't say a word.Boss Gu has a kind of admiration and superstition towards his elder brother that ordinary people can't understand. Naturally, he also has his elder brother's arrogance, and he usually holds it very high.

Gu Zhao's pace of development has never stopped, but his development is still a bit different from the wonderful poems and essays of later generations. After all, dealing with cattle and horses cannot be exchanged for the recognition of the real power class and the cultural class.Maybe, Gu Zhao can't tell a wonderful story about a certain academic book or a certain art in the court. He doesn't have the slightest cultural literacy, and he doesn't know about vertical and horizontal theory, conspiracy theory, law theory, etc. , he just felt that since he was here, he should do something useful.

Raising cattle can develop the overall agricultural national strength, and raising donkeys can provide poor people with a cheap means of travel.His idea was so ridiculous and simple that no one would believe it when he said it.

Now Gu Zhao's cattle farm, the problem of cattle and donkeys still can't be solved, the main reason is that they can't find good breeding cattle and donkeys.But the veterinarian has already issued several batches.It's all right now, seven or eight hundred war horses are in Dacang, and they are just in use now.

For today's countries, war horses are equivalent to the balance of war. No matter now or in the future, the response and speed of war are important tools to control war.It's a pity that in the past, the best horseman may not have a first-class horse.Even a general like Gu Huaizi at home is still riding a donkey and mule.

Gu Zhao is a born theorist, with a pile of modern result theories stuffed in his stomach, but these theories require countless people to spend countless hours on experiments, implementation, and doing things in a down-to-earth manner.These theories of his also run counter to today's thinking, either serving animal husbandry or agriculture. These are inferior theories, and superior people disdain them.Gu Zhao is not proficient in tricks and tricks.

How to breed horses suitable for inland soil and water, how to crossbreed, how to train?How to prevent diseases and epidemics?How to turn crossbred horses into important tools of the state?These are all unsolvable problems that Gu Zhao gave at the beginning.

Gu Zhao asked a question, but unfortunately, he was not favored at that time. After all, besides manpower, there was also a lot of material resources for the initial investment!It is not that no one has tried it at the beginning, but no one thought that it would take nearly ten years, or even decades of hard work, to find the best Wrangler in the grasslands and do this together.Inlanders always have a great sense of pride in the center of the world.People pay attention to the vanity of power in this world. As for decades later, that is what people in decades later need to pay attention to, and no one wants to go there!Only Gu Maobing, a fool, left without saying a word.

Now the new batch of horses brought back by Gu Maobing is the fourth generation of the mainland native horses and the wild horses of the western border. They are all excellent in terms of foot strength and other aspects.Now these hundreds of top-grade horses are placed in the pasture behind the big warehouse.According to the current market price, the lowest price of a first-class war horse starts at [-] guan.

So how can such a large amount of wealth not make people jealous, it is almost enough to make people cry.Before waiting for some people to react, Gu Maobing, according to the arrangement of Gu Zhao, sacrificed the horses together with tens of thousands of horses in the pasture outside the pass without saying a word.

In Gu Zhao's words, no matter whether the old Gu family is successful or not, there is one thing to do, and that is not to give others a chance to slap others. His family has always slapped others.This big slap was really painful, no matter whether it was Ding Ying or Zhuang Chengxiu, he didn't know what to do for a while.At this time, they remained silent, neither adding insult to injury nor doing things that would add to the icing on the cake.

So there was no discussion, they wrote a book together and said that this was all achieved under His Majesty's wise leadership. As for the Gu family, they didn't even mention it.On the contrary, Li Muzhai, the governor of the Fifth Army, who had always been indifferent to the Gu family, wrote the book and asked His Majesty to reward the Gu family generously.

Today, Longyan was very happy, so he asked Gu Maobing if he could ask for something?Gu Maobing felt that nothing mattered.The only thing he thinks about is his little uncle and big uncle. For him, the place where there are uncles and uncles is home.As for the others, can I eat or drink?It's all fake, he has seen a lot of prosperity.

The young eagle soared across the sky, how could it still want to return to the cage!Seeing the vastness of the prairie, and the horses walking all over the free green grassland, how could Gu Maobing hold back his thoughts, so he told the past that the Xijiang side is not right, and there are tens of thousands of war horses in his horse farm that need to be developed He was worried, but he was still willing to go back to Yangboguan to raise horses for His Majesty.

After all, there are only war horses for war now, but there are also "Qi horses" for ceremonial guards, "Tao horses" for post stations, "Tian horses" for hunting, and "Naw horses" for labor. "They were all successfully bred, so he should go back."

For a while, Zhao Chunrun was really moved, and the ministers below also felt that the line of the fourth child of the Gu family finally had a backbone, and he would be promising when he saw it.After all, it is the seed of Gu's family, and it really can eat all kinds of hardships.

In this way, Jinshang opened his golden mouth and jade teeth, and promoted Gu Maobing's last county marquis to the first class, and gave him an iron hat.Now, Gu Maobing has surpassed his elder brother and other elders in the family as third-ranked.

If Gu Zhao was in Beijing at this time, maybe he would push Ah Run to give Gu Maobing the position of Bi Mawen. Sincerely, Gu Zhao didn't take this matter too seriously.In his heart, the issue of immigration is still a big lump. People are different from horses, and they can't be moved away.

Gu Maobing was actually not well-known before he went to Beijing. Gu Yan helped cover up the opera singing back then, and his reputation was not as great as his sister's.Later, he relied on his military merits to get a real job as a fifth-rank general. However, there are so many generals in Beijing, and there are many who won awards not relying on military merits but relying on their ancestors.

All of a sudden, Gu Maobing became popular. A high-quality horse now sells for [-] yuan. Gu Maobing has tens of thousands of war horses in Western Xinjiang. What does this mean?Gu Maobing is now rich and powerful, and he is still beautiful. The most rare thing is that he is not married yet.

Gu Maobing, who had won the award, felt very numb to the changes in his body. There was only one thing. He felt that everything was good now, and these good things were all given by his little uncle.If it wasn't for my little uncle's suggestion at the beginning, how could he be what he is today? Uncle also has a son, and now Gu Maochang is still squatting in the Ministry of War.

In short, no matter what to say, Gu Maobing didn't want to come back to fight with others, and he almost didn't have the slightest nostalgia for the prosperity of Shanghai. In addition, this kid is the best at acting, and he raised a lot of loyal and patriotic people in the court. Daquan book, there are many people who are moved up and down with tears in their eyes.Fortunately, Ah Run knew that this kid was a female actress at heart, otherwise he might really be fooled by him.

Even so, Ah Run is not at fault for Gu Maobing, this little guy belongs to Ah Zhao, and all he can give now is these rewards that can't be eaten or drunk.

In this way, he waved his hand, and linked him to the command department to be the whole department. This is a real shortage of the fourth grade, a real official position with one carrot and one pit.In this way, Gu Maobing took a leap and became the first person with real power in the third generation of the Gu family. The starting point was quite high.Now that he has a title and a real job, Gu Maobing is proud of himself.

Gu Maobing has no pride in getting Shi Que'er, he just said that he is going back to Xijiang in a blink of an eye, but he doesn't know when he will be able to return. He was raised by his uncle since he was a child, and now his uncle is old. The filial piety is decreasing day by day, but now when he comes back, the uncle has gone to the border, so he begged the Holy One to give him grace, he wants to serve a circle, pay homage to all the elders in the family, respect and filial piety.

Look, that's pretty kids talking pretty words.As soon as the Holy One heard it, he agreed again!Don't let him be afraid that Gu Zhao will come back to deal with him.

In this way, Gu Maobing came back to make an explanation, got a reward, and only stayed at home with his aunt, sister, and brother-in-law for three days before leaving Beijing in a hurry. As for his brother, he never went there at all, and only sent someone to He brought a whole cart full of copper coins to his mother. This is his salary for several years. Anyway, his mother loves this, so I ask her to count enough.

As for Gu Maobing himself, he has long since stopped living on this meager salary. His little uncle does not know how much he subsidizes him in private all year round. Gu Zhao is the one who has the most gold and silver.Even Gu Maobing himself, now he runs a racecourse, is not short of money.Moreover, he is not very interested in these things, you know, back then he and his little uncle pretended to be gods and wrote god books, and in terms of worldview, he had already surpassed.

Of course, his bad habits are still there, and he returned to Beijing to pay a job. The second thing he did was arrange for someone to find the best embroiderer craftsman, and made more than ten sets of new and popular outfits for private wear. As for the piles of The popular new shoes, new socks, and new jade crowns are all bits and pieces.He bought [-] pieces of high-quality silk from all over the world, and took them all back to his uncle's house. He found more than a dozen tailors to make clothes for him alone.

Gu Maobing feels that everything in this world is fake, and that eating, drinking, and having fun is serious.During the three days since he came back, relatives and gentlemen have all come out, and some noble children have also come to make friends with them, but Gu Maobing just doesn't like these people in his heart. Over there, there is a big undeveloped world. There are thousands of tribes wandering on the grassland, stepping across the grassland, there are three countries over there, these countries are rich in resources, cattle and sheep are everywhere, gems and gold are everywhere, if If there is a chance, Gu Maobing wants to go to conquer the world with Tata, and get some beautiful gems back for the little uncle to play with. If possible, he also wants to get the little uncle to be the king, so he will be the little uncle's The general, holding a silver gun, guarded the hall for the little uncle. He stood on the left and asked Tata to stand on the right.

Really, the world is big, nothing is impossible.This is what the little uncle said, and he always remembers it.

Therefore, on the fourth day, Gu Maobing could no longer stay in Shangjing without his little uncle and uncle. He took all his troops and left in a flash.

Gu Maobing's arrival brought a world of fireworks to Gu Zhao's team.What's more, Gu Maobing didn't come empty-handed, he brought more than 20 of the best horses, and any of these horses was dragged out, it was all the material of the horse king.

In addition to five horses for the uncle's family, two for his own use, five horses for the younger uncle, and two for the uncle's family.These horse breeds are of the best quality, just take the two horses given to Gu Zhao as an example.

It was a pair of beautiful carmines. The father and grandfather of these two horses were both the horse kings of the Guanwai Mustang, and their mothers were the best horses in the Tata tribe.That's it, according to the current price in Shangjing, don't open your mouth if any horse is less than 20 guan.This is the price that Gu Maobing brought hundreds of war horses into Beijing and ruined the market price.

Along with the horses, there were twenty sets of the best saddles that Gu Maobing asked someone to make. It was made of bison hide, and the whip was woven from the softest part of the bison's belly. , the handle of the whip is pure silver, inlaid with beautiful emeralds, sapphires, and rubies.There were also silver buttons inlaid on the side of the saddle, and a silver bell made of pure silver around the neck.I don't know where Gu Maobing found the craftsman. He only polished the saddle buckle so that it can reflect the figure, so the workmanship is not to mention how beautiful it is.

Of course, it would be strange if this thing was pulled out without attracting thieves!

Gu Zhao was naturally happy when he got a good horse. He is a man who likes these things. He didn’t feel disappointed that he didn’t get a white horse. After all, he had heard the story of Tang Seng and the prince. He named the two new loves Stove. , a named fire.Just such a crappy name made Gu Yan very angry.

It's nothing to give a good horse a bad name. The most annoying thing is that on the first day Gu Zhao got a good horse, he changed into a new hunting outfit and went hunting with a child's bow and arrow.No way, he couldn't even pull the smallest bow and arrow with his arm strength.

For the first time, Mr. Gu doubted from the bottom of his heart, Gu Laoqi is a child picked up by his family, right?Either the bloodline of De Huiyue's family is not good, and they have strangled his old Gu's family.

Gu Zhao rode a fire stove and took a small bow and arrow to the mountainside in the outskirts to hunt. He hunted all morning, and his results were terrible, with not a single feather on the bird.Later, Xizai felt sorry for his father, so he asked Xinzai to take Gu Huaizi, and each of them carried a big gong up the mountain to surround Gu Zhao.When they frightened the animals together with a big gong, there were at least seven or eight fat rabbits, two wild sheep, and a deer in front of Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao was overjoyed and shot a bucket of bows and arrows. Hardly a single fur was rubbed off.

Later, the animals were tired and couldn't move anymore, so they rested and grazed less than twenty steps in front of Gu Zhao.Everyone has thought about it, it is death!Let's talk about it after eating, and besides, wait until the idiot in front of him shoots himself, I'm afraid it will have to wait until next year.

Carrying the broken gong, Xizai ran out of the woods, ran up to Gu Zhao, panted with his hips on his hips and said, "Master! I can't even find a single arrow...here it is! You are an expert, the arrow Shoot it out, it's gone without a trace! Little...hehe...the little one goes back into the car...and then, can I get you another bucket?"

Master Gu covered his face, sighed and cried helplessly: "The family is unlucky!!!!!!!!!!"

Gu Maobing laughed, and got on the horse. After he got on the horse, he took out a noose from the saddle, and shot it out as soon as he clipped the horse's belly. After a while, Gu Maobing dragged the fat roe to him. In front of Gu Zhao, he ordered someone to hold down the three steps in front of Gu Zhao, and greeted him very enthusiastically: "Little uncle, hurry up! We are all waiting to eat meat, just look at you! If you see it, shoot it!" here."

Gu Maobing was afraid that his little uncle might miss his head, so he found a brush, weighed up the ink, and drew a dark circle on the deer's neck.

Gu Zhao set up a bow and shot an arrow. After gesturing for a long time, he couldn't bear it, so he turned his head and said to his elder brother: "Brother, if it bleeds...it will... hurt! This is so ugly! The blood is splashing!" It's not good to provoke mosquitoes, but if you don't provoke mosquitoes, this guy must have a wife and children at home, wait for him to go back to have dinner..." After finishing speaking, Gu Zhao shook, thinking of animals bleeding all over. Mirror image, then said again: "I... lord has returned to the car. This morning, it's really troublesome. If you want to eat meat, go to the city to buy it. I'm tired!" After finishing speaking, he didn't care what others thought of him, As soon as he pulled the stove, he really went back.

Uncle Gu covered his face and continued to wail: "The family is unlucky!!!!!!!!!"

Xu Pinlian stroked a goatee that had been taken care of by the little lady, and praised him: "The gentleman is compassionate! The little duke can't bear to kill, he's really kind!"

"The family is unlucky!!!!!!!!!"

After Uncle Gu finished crying, he turned back to ask his nephew, but he didn't want to, but Gu Maobing stood beside Xu Pinlian Xinna's little lady. The hoof lily said: "This flower is so beautiful, did you embroider it?"

Zhang Xiaoyan's eyes were watering with embarrassment, she lowered her head and murmured to pull back the corner of her skirt, fearing that Gu Maobing would get angry, so she just nodded silently.

Gu Maobing was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I bought more than 20 sets of Jingsha blouses that are popular in Shangjing this time. You can help me embroider this lotus seed on the corner of the clothes. I love lotus flowers the most."

Zhang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Maobing, did she think she was a embroiderer?Gu Maobing didn't feel anything, he was just picking and choosing, he wouldn't wear anything that wasn't pretty.

Gu Maobing continued to gesticulate and instructed: "The material of my blouse is mostly sheer yarn. When wiring, remember not to overlap the colors, and don't use heavy threads for silk threads, or the yarn will be drawn! If the embroidery is too heavy, the corners of the clothes will not unfold. Hang up, think about it, the gauze is thin and the pattern is so heavy, it's always bad, right?

Well, my ruffles are covered with silver threads, just like the morning sun!Do you know how to show dewdrops? I have seen embroiderers who show dewdrops. They are just over there in Xijiang. There are many of them. Roll up and down! "

"The family is unlucky!!!!!!!!!!!!"
