Chapter 181
"Please punish this madman severely!"

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were well-read in history books and considered themselves to be honest and gentlemen. They all blushed with embarrassment and scolded Pang Jizu angrily.

When Pang Jizu saw the anger of the officials, he was startled, his face changed drastically, and he was speechless to explain.

Fan Zheng was full of black lines, so he had to go up to Pang Jizu to rescue him and said, "My lords have misunderstood. Artificial insemination is not like that, but...."

After Fan Zheng explained the process and advantages of artificial insemination of stallions to the court officials in detail.

Only then did the officials of the Manchu Dynasty heave a sigh of relief, and their faces were flattering. However, in the Chuigong Palace, they openly talked about the artificial insemination of male and female horses, which is really indecent.

"This is an evil recipe!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but wryly smiled and said, Pang Jizu is simply better than blue, even more evil and obscene than Fan Zheng's evil formula.

The court officials nodded approvingly.What's wrong with the doctors, they come up with evil prescriptions repeatedly, and one prescription is more evil than the other!

"Although this method is evil! But the effect is immediate. It can not only save a large number of stallions, but also allow good horses to spread the breed widely. Within ten years, the horse government will surely multiply and prosper." Pang Jizu promised.

All the officials in the court pondered. The Song Dynasty was located in the Central Plains, and there was no grassland. There was a natural disadvantage in raising horses. If you want to close the gap between horses and government, I am afraid that you can only use this evil method.

Zhao Xu looked around at the ministers, who nodded silently, acquiescing to the veterinarian's evil prescription for raising horses.

"Decree: Make Pang Jizu, a veterinarian, the judge of the Herds Division, in charge of the breeding of war horses in the world." Zhao Xu directly ordered.

The judge of the Qun Mu Si is a sixth-rank official, and Pang Jizu is a doctor from the imperial family background. Being able to directly take up this important position shows how urgent Zhao Xu is to restore the horse administration.

"Thank you, officer."

Pang Jizu said ecstatically.

He specialized in veterinary medicine, and he was secretly ridiculed by many people. Now that his fortune has come, he joined Ma Zheng and was directly promoted to a sixth-rank official. Those who laughed at him at the beginning would definitely regret it.

Baiguan also heaved a sigh of relief, and finally solved Ma Zheng's henchman's trouble.

However, Fan Zheng once again said surprisingly:
"Forgive me for your wild words! Even if Da Song had the evil recipe for artificial insemination, it would still be as difficult as heaven for Ma Zheng to prosper."

In an instant, the Chui Gong Hall was in an uproar.

Da Song finally got Yang Ma Xie Fang, and was about to show off his skills, but was suddenly thrown a basin of cold water by Fan Zheng.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Why did Fan Aiqing say that?"

"Because of the supervisor system!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu frowned immediately, and looked at Baiguan.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of war horses. After the Chanyuan alliance, the Song Dynasty had 20 war horses. Now the Song Dynasty only has nearly half of the war horses. In addition, it has bought horses from Tubo and other places year after year. Why is there such a situation? The gap?" Fan Zheng asked retortly.

Manchu officials suddenly looked embarrassed, no one else!Just because it is too expensive to raise horses, the price of a war horse in the Song Dynasty is at least about 50 guan, while the price of buying a Qingtang war horse is only about [-] guan. reason.

"During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong! Prime Minister Xiang Minzhong said that the country's horses were twice as large as those of the previous dynasty, and spent a lot of money. Nai Zhao sold them at an estimated value of 13 years old and equipped with military horses."

"There are 560 stallions and mares in the Raozhou Ranch. In a few years, there are only [-] horses, and [-] out of [-] are the foals."

"There are thousands of horses in the Zhenjiang pasture, and only twenty foals have been born in more than ten years. It is almost deserted."

"The court stipulates that horse officials must be transferred outside after three years of service. If this is the case, who cares about raising horses."

Fan Zhengli's abuses of the pastors and pastors of several dynasties made everyone in the old party feel extremely embarrassed, and everyone in the new party immediately gloated.

On the contrary, Fan Zheng did not let the New Party go, bluntly said:
"During the Shenzong period, the court reformed and implemented the horse protection law, and even eight pastoral supervisors were abolished."

"The horse protection law was implemented, and the burden on the horse households increased, and the horse households complained a lot, and the number of war horses suffered heavy losses."

The new party officials suddenly looked embarrassed.

"The horse government in the Great Song Dynasty was not prosperous. The root cause was not in the horse, but in the people. This is a man-made disaster."

Fan Zheng was unceremonious, directly exporting to the new party and old party officials.

In the Song Dynasty, the horse government was not prosperous, and both the new party and the old party were duty-bound.

The government spent a lot of money to raise horses with little effect. Everyone opposed the horse protection law, and the horses suffered heavy losses.

Zhang Dun said with displeasure: "So, Mr. Fan has a good plan for raising horses."

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "That's right! Da Song wants Ma Zheng to prosper, there is another way besides artificial insemination, and that is to lure him with profit!"

"Luring with profit?" Zhang Dun frowned.

"Since the imperial court is willing to spend money to buy horses from Tubo Qingtang, and even Dali horses, why is it unwilling to buy horses from the people?" Fan Zhengfan asked.

Lu Dafang sneered and said, "The people don't have horses at all! And they don't want to raise horses, so where can they buy them?"

"People don't want to raise horses because raising horses is not profitable. Da Songmu supervises and raises a horse that costs more than 20 guan. If the court announces that 30 guan will buy a qualified war horse, Fan can guarantee it, let alone [-]. Ten thousand horses, even [-] war horses, are all available." Fan Zheng said with a sneer.

"No! The war horse is the foundation of the Song Dynasty, how can it be entrusted to the people." Lu Dafang flatly objected.

Horse politics is not just a matter of money. Once the Song Dynasty buys all the horses, how will so many officials related to horse politics be arranged, not to mention that the interests involved in horse politics are unknown. The old party is naturally unwilling to give up. .

Zhang Dun frowned and said: "The minister also objected. The imperial court is already financially tight, so there is no money left to spend on war horses."

All of a sudden, officials from the new party and the old party objected in unison.

Fan Zheng continued: "Since this is the case, then both government-run and private-run operations should be carried out. The imperial court specializes in running high-quality large-scale ranches, and transfers all small ranches that are losing money and cost a lot of money to private-run companies. A certain number of qualified war horses need to be handed over every year. Good horses are bought and sold by themselves."

Zhang Dun's heart moved, a small ranch was useless to the imperial court, if it could be handed over to the private sector, in exchange for a steady stream of war horses, it would be a double win.

"At the same time, folks are encouraged to raise horses. Once the evil formula of artificial insemination comes out, the quality of the horses will be greatly improved. The young horses produced in the pasture will be branded as stamps and sold to the common people at a low price. In the future, they will be cultivated and recycled at a high price. The high price of a hundred guan is [-] guan a horse, as long as the horse owners can make a profit, they will naturally raise horses enthusiastically."

"In this way, the three strategies of government, private, and equestrian households go hand in hand, lure each other with benefits and then assist the veterinary lineage, and the horse administration of the Song Dynasty will surely prosper." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"My beloved ministers, what do you think of this strategy?" Zhao Xu looked around the court and asked.

Baiguan thought about it and finally nodded.

"You can try it!"

Lu Dafang nodded solemnly and said,

Originally, the imperial court was not worried about folk horse breeding, but now with the evil recipe of artificial insemination, the reproduction of war horses is guaranteed. This strategy can not only guarantee the status of the official ranch, but also reduce the burden on the imperial court. Naturally, it has the best of both worlds.

Zhang Dun nodded helplessly. This policy is indeed superior to the horse protection method. It will not arouse public resentment, and it can ensure sufficient horses. The only disadvantage is that it costs a lot of money to buy horses from the people.
