Dajin royal family

Chapter 474 Going to the Taipu Temple
Among the nine temples, the officials of Taipu Temple are jokingly called "animals".

The reason is the same, because they are in charge of horses and livestock.

The military commander and the Taipu Temple are relatively close. After all, the court's war horses are in charge of the Taipu Temple. If you want to draw a good war horse for your army, you must establish a good relationship with the people in the Taipu Temple.

Sinong Temple often fights with Taipu Temple, because Sinong Temple wants to engage in agricultural planting, and cattle, sheep, and other animals have to be obtained from Taipu Temple.

What can Taipu Temple do?
Of course not, they worked so hard to raise cattle and sheep, but when they came to the door of Sinong Temple, they said, "Here comes three thousand cattle."

The people of Taipu Temple often wanted to kill the officials of Sinong Temple, and then chopped them into meat paste and fed them to animals.

When people and cattle get along for a long time, they will develop feelings. The Sinong Temple wants performance and often tortures cattle and sheep. They work with the general supervisor of the Ministry of Industry to experiment with various new types of farm tools, and torture cattle and sheep desperately.

Of course, Taipusi thought about it, they couldn't even bear to kill animals, let alone Sinongsi holding the king's order.

After King Zhao took charge, the status of the Ministry of Industry and Sinong Temple was greatly improved, and funds were allocated to these two places.

There is no way, King Zhao attaches great importance to agriculture, and ordered Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Industry to experiment with agricultural tools. As long as they can produce agricultural tools that save labor and increase food production, they will be greatly rewarded.

Taipusi said, does this have anything to do with us?
It has nothing to do with them whether the cattle and sheep lent to them come back or not, and they get rewards. Why should they do their best.

If it weren't for King Zhao's order, the officials of Taipu Temple would have shut the doors of the mud legs of Sinong Temple every day.

But even though he said so, Taipu Temple still received great attention from King Zhao.Because of the relationship between the war horses, this side is generally blocked in all directions, just like the Taifu Temple that is making silver dollar molds.

Entering the official office of Taipu Temple, a gust of wind blows by, and the smell of excrement and urine blows over us.

Jiang Chengxiao frowned and said nothing. He attached great importance to war horses and cattle consumption, so as long as he was in Taiyuan, he would definitely take the time to come and see the progress of the work here.

The officials of the Taipu Temple showed embarrassment. The boss finally inspected the work, and the reception work was a bit poor.

But you can't blame them, this is where the livestock are raised.

It is precisely because of this unique working environment that other government offices in Jiusi are unwilling to be neighbors with Taipusi, forcing them to build open-air government offices in the south of the city.

After all, no one wants to breathe the smell of excrement and urine from cattle and sheep all day long.

Of course, the people around him also disliked it.

The Zhengqing of Taipu Temple is named Xue Lv. Although his surname is Xue, he has nothing to do with the Xue family of Hedong.

Xue Luzu was a barbarian from the Xuxue tribe in the grassland. During Emperor Wu's reign, Zhao Wang, who was still the acting king at that time, was ordered to lead his troops to conquer the Xi tribe in Liaodong, and killed the Xuxue tribe who was waving the flag and shouting for the Xi tribe.

At that time, Zhao Wang's soldiers did not take the barbarians of the Xuxue tribe with a single needle, but just robbed them of all their remaining things, and then killed more than 3 people.

The remaining members of the Xuxue tribe requested to be attached, and were placed by Emperor Wu as watchdogs in Liaodong.In Xue Lu's generation, they applied a Sinicization patch and changed their surname to Xue.

Later, Jiang Chengxiao went to Liaodong, and he was even more cruel than King Zhao.

What, you want to enclose?

Sorry, did not receive the message.

Then, an understatement massacre.

After the killing, it was roughly recorded in the annals like this; in the sixth year of Hongye, Zhao Shizi defeated the barbarians and won.

For the sake of his own life, Xue Lu resolutely turned to Jiang Chengxiao.Because of his superb horse-hunting skills, Jiang Chengxiao has always used him heavily.

When the Northern Jin Dynasty was established, he was promoted to be the Minister of the Taipu Temple.

Xue Lu was convinced, and honestly raised animals for Jiang Chengxiao.

Enduring the weird smell in the air, Jiang Chengxiao went to the stable.

In the stables, there are many war horses.

Most of these war horses came from Liaodong, and a few were horse breeds snatched from Yinshan, Daqingshan and Beiyuan.

In the stables on the other side, there are war horses from Hetao and the Western Regions.

Xue Lv is a professional. These horses are raised by him very well. The war horses that can stay in Taipu Temple are all good horses, specially used for breeding.

Yes, the Liaodong War Horse could no longer satisfy Jiang Chengxiao's appetite, and he started to breed the War Horse very early.

First, the internal war horses of Liaodong, then the war horses of Liaodong and Yinshan, and now it has become the war horses of Liaodong and Western Regions.

After several generations of reproduction, you will definitely get a good war horse.

It is said that the officials of the Taipu Temple bred the crazy demons, and everyone who saw them had blood red eyes, so frightened that the mud legs of the Sinong Temple had to bring many guards when they came to the door.

"Your Majesty, this little pony was bred by three generations of Liaodong horses and one generation of Humas from the Western Regions. It has an extremely irritable temper and has kicked to death many of the pony that lived with it."

In the stable, a red and black foal is eating the fodder in the manger with its head down.

"Can it grow up?" Jiang Chengxiao touched his chin.

Although this little pony seems very strong now, but before it, many breeding horses became disabled when they grew up.

Xue Lu assured: "I have practiced many times, so it should be fine."

"Okay, you record carefully."

"Yes."

After looking at the war horses, Jiang Chengxiao went to inspect the cattle pen on the other side.

Most of the livestock in Taipu Temple come from the grasslands, especially the cows. In order to be able to develop agriculture, Jiang Chengxiao let Xiao Xiebaqi cross the Yinshan Pass more than once to go to Heishui to snatch the cattle from Heishan.

As long as there are animals in the Jin Dynasty, Taipu Temple can find them for you.

The black mountain cattle are big and strong, and the meat is delicious. Whether it is right or not, the endurance and physical strength of the black mountain cattle are far superior to the buffaloes in the Central Plains, so Jiang Chengxiao plans to breed them on a large scale.

In order to allow these cows to multiply, he did not hesitate to find Sun Shichang and asked him to find a way to prepare some good medicine for the cows to refresh their minds.

Sun Shichang refused at first. He didn't even give people that kind of medicine, let alone a cow.

However, after he made the doctor's order, Wang Youling didn't dare to answer, he pinched his nose and spared his spare time to study cattle.

"The medicine given by Doctor Sun last month didn't work well, and a bull was sluggish for a few days after taking it."

"You won't give it to the cow first, will you?"

"No, no, buffalo, it's a buffalo." Xue Lv quickly explained.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "These cows are all seeds, so be careful."

"Yes."

After looking around the Taipu Temple, Jiang Chengxiao encouraged Xue Lv a few words, and then told him that a new batch of war horses from Liaodong would soon replenish the army in advance, so that they would be ready for the handover.

To this, Xue Lv naturally agreed wholeheartedly, saying that he would definitely get the job done.

Of course, Jiang Chengxiao came here this time to inspect the work of the Taipu Temple, and took two good horses with him when he left, specially for Li Pharmacist.

There is no way, in this era, for generals, a good horse is more precious than a fertile woman at home.

During the conquest of Hebei, Li Yaoshi envied those little brats of Wei Zhonglan with their horses.

Although he didn't mention it, Jiang Chengxiao was not blind, so he could still tell.

Li Yaoshi, who received the horse that day, was very excited, and repeatedly rewarded the guard who sent the horse.

The personal guards refused, they followed the Lord, they had never seen anything, and they were not short of money.

Pharmacist Li was too lazy to argue with his guards at that time, he was groping around with his horse in his arms, laughing.

Seeing this, the guard felt a chill in his heart, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, put down the money and ran away.

After inspecting the work progress of the officials of Taipu Temple, Jiang Chengxiao returned to the mansion.As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard the voice of Wu Nan reciting the book not far away.

He didn't go there, endured the little discomfort in his heart, and went to the study to deal with government affairs.

Recently, because of Zhongzheng's selection of scholars, the imperial court has been very busy.It was not so busy in the past, but this year is different, the world is in chaos, and scholars from all over the world have no place to make a living. Finally, the Northern Jin Dynasty began to select Zhongzheng, and of course they all came to Taiyuan.

"My lord, it is very lively in front of the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and there are so many people here." Nan Jiyun told Jiang Chengxiao who was kneeling on the throne.

"What's going on with the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Hubu?"

"Not yet, but many scholars from the Central Plains visited Zheng's mansion day and night, and Mr. Xingyang did not show up. It was Zheng Renguo who came forward to receive him."

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, "It's kind of interesting, and the method of avoiding suspicion is too clumsy."

Avoid suspicion?
He actually didn't think so in his heart, Wang Hong had to choose the official of the Dazhong this time, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials counted as three successes, and the remaining seventy percent was nominated by hundreds of officials.

It can be seen from this that there are many disciples of the Wang family in Taiyuan officialdom.

But having said that, there are also many Peis.

The light rain is light, the storm is behind.
