The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 820
After not seeing Lu Jinkang's response for a while, Su Yunduo felt a little uneasy, but when he looked up, he saw that Lu Jinkang's face was unclear, and the emotion in his eyes was even darker, and he couldn't help but "thump" in his heart.

She was a smart person, so she had a guess in her heart instantly, annoyed that she forgot that the imperial power is supreme here.

The war horse involves the army, and the power of the Zhen Guo government is overwhelming. Even if the Holy Majesty has not yet developed a heart of fear, who can guarantee that the Holy Majesty will always trust the Zhen Guo government as much as today?

If I really rashly bought land to raise war horses, I would really bring disaster to the Zhen Guo government!

Forget it, let's buy some land near Yongcheng to grow food, just buy land near Yongcheng.

There are stretches of wasteland near Yongcheng. According to Lu Mingyang's description, these wastelands were originally fertile land, and the current land price is very low. As long as you are willing to reclaim it, you will be rewarded.

After thinking about this, Su Yunduo said with a blushing smile: "It's better to raise horses. If possible, I still want to buy a piece of grass. Let's raise some big animals like cattle, sheep, camels, what do you think?"

Faced with Su Yunduo's understanding, Lu Jinkang hugged Su Yunduo's slender waist tightly. Since Su Yunduo wanted to raise a horse, let her raise it, but it would only cost more procedures.

As long as all the formalities are completed and there is an order written by the Holy Majesty, it will become a horse for the imperial court. Even if Su Yunduo makes money from it, it will only be hard money!

Naturally, Dongling Country also has a horse farm, but the scale is not large, and the horses raised are basically ordinary horses used to pull people and goods.

The war horses of Dongling Kingdom were either smuggled from neighboring countries at high prices or seized from the battlefield, and the number was very limited.

In fact, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been looking for a suitable horse farm and people who are willing to raise horses for the imperial court and build a horse farm for Dongling Kingdom, but due to various reasons, he has not found a suitable person.

Maintaining the normal operation of a horse farm requires a large amount of money, which is not difficult. There are not a few rich people in Dongling country, but since it is a war horse, it can only be sold to the court after being cultivated.

In this way, it is impossible to have high profits, and there is even the possibility of losing money.

The Holy Majesty's wish to expand the cavalry has never been fulfilled because there is no suitable pasture and no suitable people. This is almost a heart disease of the Holy Majesty.

Now that Phoenix City and Boni City have become the land of Dongling Kingdom, Dongling Kingdom also has its own large grassland.

There is a pasture, but what is missing now is a person who is willing to run this horse farm for the imperial court.

Before Su Yunduo said about opening a racecourse, even if Lu Jinkang had such an idea, he was vetoed by himself in a second.In Lu Jinkang's mind, it would be better not to touch the Duke's Mansion of the Racecourse Town.

But since Su Yunduo has such an idea, there is nothing wrong with it!
The Qing Dynasty is self-clearing, and the government of Zhen Guo stands upright and stable. As long as Dongling Kingdom can be strong and prosperous, so what if it suffers a little grievance?

Su Yunduo is a cautious person, so how could he cause trouble for the government of Zhen Guo, besides, Lu Jinkang is not a vegetarian, could it be that he still can't protect his woman?

Some people are willing to use their own money to set up a racecourse to raise war horses, the Holy One is afraid that they will not get it.

However, this matter naturally needs to be cautious. Before there is any clue, it is better not to tell Su Yunduo. It is always necessary to discuss with Lu Mingyang and come up with a charter.

Well, it's best to get Lu Mingyang's nod, and then discuss with the holy majesty the regulations of the racecourse, and then it's not too late to tell Su Yunduo.

Lu Jinkang's next move was very quick, and within half a month, he put a copy of the opening document of the racecourse written by the Holy Majesty and stamped with the imperial seal on Su Yunduo's case.

"Yujian Racecourse?" Su Yunduo picked up the document, opened his eyes wide in surprise after just a glance, and looked at Lu Jinkang in disbelief.

Only then did Lu Jinkang tell Su Yunduo about the matter in detail.

Although persuading Lu Mingyang to spend a lot of time talking about Lu Jinkang, it took no effort in front of the Holy One.

Of course, Lu Jinkang didn't directly discuss this matter with the Holy Master, he was a little more careful.

After obtaining Lu Mingyang's consent, he showed an absent-minded look in front of the Holy One for several days in a row.

He seldom showed such an expression in front of the Holy One, and such an abnormality naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Holy One.

The Holy Majesty has always treated Lu Jinkang as his nephew, so he had to ask why.

Lu Jinkang showed an expression of reluctance to talk more, the more he was like this, the more His Majesty had to get to the bottom of it.

After going back and forth, the Holy Majesty naturally asked the reason.

It turned out that Su Yunduo wanted to buy a piece of grass near Boni City to set up a livestock farm, but Lu Jinkang felt it was inappropriate.

Although Su Yunduo has a small or large breeding farm in Yangjiaji, and has people who know how to breed, Boni City is too far away from the capital, and the climate is very different from the capital. Experience can't cope with the cold climate in the north at all, and it will be small to lose money, and Su Yunduo will have to worry a lot!
The Holy Majesty heard what Lu Jinkang meant, and at first he didn't think there was anything wrong. Looking at the helpless Lu Jinkang, he joked, "I'm not afraid of losing money, I just don't want your daughter-in-law to worry about it!"

Lu Jinkang's face stiffened slightly: "No matter how fat the grass over Boni City is, she is just raising cattle and sheep, and at most camels. If she wants to raise something that is not easy to raise, she has to go to the distant Boni City ?”

As soon as Lu Jinkang said this, the Holy Majesty felt something.

I thought it was just the young couple who were having an awkward moment because of their disagreement on investment, but now the Holy Majesty seemed to see war horses galloping towards him, and he was secretly delighted.

Why should the Holy One be shrewd, and because he has been looking for an opportunity to start a war horse breeding farm, even though Lu Jinkang always said that Su Yunduo wanted to buy a piece of grass at the foot of Boni Mountain to build a large livestock breeding, Lu Jinkang never mentioned "horses", but Let the Holy One see hope from it, and naturally he will not let go of this great opportunity.

Since Su Yunduo raises a big animal, how can there be no such big animal as a horse!

The Holy Majesty immediately offered Su Yunduo the fattest, best and most suitable pasture for breeding farms for free, and asked Lu Jinkang to persuade Su Yunduo to try to breed war horses for the imperial court.

Lu Jinkang showed a embarrassed smile, and made it clear that Su Yunduo only wanted to raise cattle, sheep, camels and other big animals, and he didn't plan to stop raising any horses, let alone war horses.

How could the Holy Majesty not understand the meaning of Lu Jinkang's words? Naturally, he was afraid of bringing disaster to the Zhen Guo government.

The Holy Majesty was about to say something, when Lu Jinkang smiled helplessly and said, "Grandfather also doesn't agree to go to Boni City to buy grassland to set up a breeding farm, but suggests to buy some wasteland in Yongcheng area to reclaim it to grow grain."

The Holy Majesty stared at Lu Jinkang, lowered his eyes and considered for a long time before revealing his plan.

Lu Jinkang seemed to be startled by the Holy Majesty, he opened his eyes and shook his head: "That's not right, isn't this putting our Zhen Guogong's mansion on the fire!"

Over the years, there have always been officials reminding the sage that it is time to take over the power of the Duke of the Town, and that the Duke of the Town must not be allowed to make great achievements.

As the Emperor, the Holy One is naturally more aware of the disadvantages and dangers of the master than anyone else, but he just believes in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion has never let him down. Not only did he firmly guard the northern frontier, but he even It was because Dongling Kingdom expanded its territory.

The Duke of Zhenguo is the patron saint of the Dongling Kingdom, and he is also his reliance as the emperor. Naturally, he can't chill the hearts of the generals in the Duke of Zhen's family. How can he listen to slander in a daze?

At this moment, the Holy Majesty could hear the meaning of Lu Jinkang's words, but he couldn't be worried that someone would take the opportunity to frame him, cause trouble for him, and even bring disaster to the Zhen Guo government.

It's just that Lu Jinkang and Zhen Guogong's government would be afraid of tigers and wolves, the Holy One certainly didn't believe it.

The Holy Majesty understood that Lu Jinkang's absent-mindedness in the past few days was just to bring up a series of topics in the future, so he was angry and funny in his heart, looked at Lu Jinkang with a half-smile and said: "There are still things in this world that you are afraid of?!"

Lu Jinkang straightened his face, and made a rare salute to the holy majesty on the throne, "I am also a human being, and human beings always have things they are afraid of."

On this day, the monarch and his ministers talked openly and honestly in the Imperial Study Room for almost two hours. Since everyone was determined to run the farm well, they naturally hit it off and came up with a preliminary plan that day.

At this moment, this preliminary plan is being held by Su Yunduo.

Seeing that Su Yunduo only said the four words "Yujian Racecourse", his brows were wrinkled. Lu Jinkang knew that she was probably unwilling to do so. In fact, when the emperor mentioned this name, he also had some opinions in his heart. Just seeing His Majesty's excited appearance, he couldn't express his objection.

Seeing that Su Yunduo was obviously not happy at this moment, Lu Jinkang immediately said: "This is the meaning of the Holy Majesty. If you think it is inappropriate, I will talk to the Holy Majesty again, or you can go to the palace to talk to the Holy Majesty yourself."

"Go to the palace and talk to the Holy One? Forget it!" Su Yunduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head to express his objection: "I'll see the plan first."

"Okay." Lu Jinkang nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "You simply write down your thoughts, and I will go to the palace to serve as an errand and pass them to the Holy Majesty in the future."

The Holy Majesty's naming of the racecourse as "Yujian Racecourse" naturally has its connotations. Although it has His Majesty's selfish intentions, it also has the meaning of protecting the Zhen Guogong Mansion and Su Yunduo.

But if the word "Yujian" is really crowned, it may be a kind of restraint on Su Yunduo. Even if the racecourse is under Su Yunduo's name, Su Yunduo will probably be restrained in doing things.

In the following days, there was a tug-of-war between Su Yunduo and the Holy One for this farm, and in the end Su Yunduo still had to go to the palace to talk with the Holy One.

Although there were still slight differences in this interview, the final result made both parties very satisfied.

The Holy One assigned all the more than 300 grasslands suitable for grazing under Boni Mountain to Su Yunduo's name for free, which accounted for almost a quarter of the newly occupied land in Dongling Country. entire farm.

However, the Holy One still gave Su Yunduo a plaque written by himself, with the four characters "Yujian Racecourse" written on it.

Although this breeding farm is no longer the "Yujian Horse Farm", this plaque can protect Su Yunduo from a lot of wind and frost. Even if the emperor does not give it to him, Lu Jinkang will try to get this plaque. When the breeding farm is completed, this plaque It will be hung in the specially opened war horse breeding area in the farm.

The Holy Majesty was so kind, Su Yunduo naturally reciprocated, promising that all the horses in the breeding farm would be supplied to the imperial court and distributed by the Ministry of War.

Although the pastures are fertile and Su Yunduo has money, a newly established breeding farm does not mean that horses can be supplied to the imperial court. The agreement signed by Su Yunduo and the imperial court is to start supplying horses to the imperial court two years later. From [-] adult war horses in the first year, it increased year by year, and in the fifth year it rose to [-] horses per year. After that, although the number of horses remained stable, it also agreed to the Holy Majesty's request, naturally, the more the better.

This made Lu Jinkang very worried, feeling that Su Yunduo had opened his mouth too much.

Su Yunduo naturally understands that this is a bit difficult, whether it is a great test for her personally or for the farm, but she understands better that this is necessary, otherwise how can she be worthy of Nanuo's big pasture?
After the matter was settled, Su Yunduo immediately summoned all the available manpower under his command, but the manpower available to Su Yunduo was limited after all, so he had to ask Lu Mingyang and Lu Jinkang for some manpower.

Lu Mingyang has been in Beibian City for decades, and he was also the former Duke of Zhen Guo. He has countless capable people in his hands, and naturally there is no shortage of capable people who can raise horses.

It's just that not many of these people stayed with Lu Mingyang, and most of them were scattered all over Dongling country.

Ever since he learned that Su Yunduo intended to go to Boni City to open a breeding farm, although Lu Mingyang did not agree with it at the beginning, he also made preparations in advance. When Su Yunduo and the Holy One were still engaged in a tug-of-war, he had already started to prepare for it. Su Yunduo solved the manpower problem, no, people have come to Zhen Guogong Mansion to report for duty in the past few days.

Lu Jinkang was not idle here either. On the one hand, he either negotiated with the Holy Master for Su Yunduo, or accompanied Su Yunduo into the palace to discuss with the Holy Master in person, and on the other hand, he was also deploying manpower.

Before Su Yunduo asked them for someone, the two had already delivered him to her, which moved Su Yunduo very much.

Except for the part of the manpower near the capital and those who had originally stayed in the Zhen Guo Mansion, as well as the manpower who came to the capital from the south to report to the Zhen Guo Mansion, Lu Mingyang had more capable people in the north.

It is said that in the hands of Su Yunduo's people, some people have even set up a small ranch in the north, but after receiving Lu Mingyang's letter, they resolutely handed over the ranch in their hands to others for management, but they themselves have already joined other people to catch up. Go to Boni City and start to build a breeding farm for Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo was both moved and worried. This farm was just a plan in her mind, and it was not even possible to go to Boni City to have a look at it in person for the time being, but Lu Mingyang's people were already in the grassland and started to build it. okay?
"Brother Kang's daughter-in-law don't need to worry. They are all old people who have been with me for many years. They are all extremely capable and loyal people. You only need to do this... the planning plan of the ranch, and you only need to combine the plan and The funds you have prepared are handing over to them, and they will follow your request and will not let you down." Lu Mingyang saw at a glance what Su Yunduo was worried about, and pointed cheerfully at the few people standing below. .

"Please rest assured, Mrs. Shizi, my subordinates will definitely live up to the great trust of the old Duke, Mr. Shizi, and Mrs. Shizi!" As soon as Lu Mingyang finished speaking, several middle-aged men clasped their fists together and said in unison. Although there were not many people, they still had some momentum rainbow.
