A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 319
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhang is here." The chamberlain reported respectfully.

"Let him in!" Wang Luo said without raising his head.

Soon, the chamberlain came in with an official.

Zhang Pu bowed to Wang Luo and said, "I see your Majesty!"

"Sit!" Wang Luo put down the bamboo slip and said while rubbing his nose.

"It is your fault that your Majesty works so hard." Zhang Pu said sincerely: "Although your Majesty's state affairs are important, your body is more important."

"I will pay attention." Wang Luo nodded, and then asked: "How many war horses are there in the country now?"

"Your Majesty, there are 3 war horses in Yanzhao Racecourse, [-] in Qidi Racecourse, [-] in Qindi Racecourse, and there are about [-] horses in other small horse farms in other places. The last time the Hussars were riding The general mobilized [-] war horses for the northern expedition against the Huns, and these are all that are left in the racecourse for the time being." Zhang Pu quickly calculated and said.

War horses are important strategic materials, and they are also very delicate. After a battle, the damage will be very serious.So one hundred thousand war horses seems like a lot, but it can only sustain a few high-intensity battles.

In addition to these war horses, the racecourse also has a large number of horses that are not suitable for war horses.These horses will be sold to the common people. Since the establishment of Chidao, the number of private carriages has increased.

"How does the war horse compare with the Huns' war horses?" Wang Luo asked again.

Zhang Pu said: "The war horses are even worse than those of the Huns."

"Is it really just a chip?" Wang Luo asked.

Zhang Pu broke into a cold sweat instantly and said quickly: "It's just one step behind the top-grade war horses, and even worse than the middle-grade and low-grade war horses."

"Do you have a solution?"

"We can introduce war horses from the Xiongnu, breed them with the war horses in the racecourse, and select the best breeds among them to improve our Daqian horses. At the same time, we can select people who are good at raising horses, just"

"Just what?" Wang Luo asked.

"It's just that your Majesty, superior war horses still need to be trained in a suitable environment, otherwise the war horses will still degrade." Zhang Pu said.

Wang Luo also knew this.The environment that war horses live in also has a great impact on them. Just like when the Huai State opened racecourses in Huaibei and Jiangnan and purchased good horses from the north at high prices, but these horses became inferior horses after two generations of breeding.

"Do you know where in my land is suitable for raising horses?" Wang Luo asked.

"Your Majesty, I once inspected the Northland and found that the Hetao area is rich in water and grass and is suitable for raising horses," Zhang Pu said.

"Hetao!" Wang Luo nodded slightly.

The land of Hetao is still in the hands of the Huns. This land is very close to Daqian. It has abundant water and grass and a good climate.It's just not easy to capture the land of the Loop.

Over the years, Wang Luo increased his collection of information on the Huns. After getting to know the Huns, Wang Luo discovered that the Huns were not as powerful as he imagined.

According to the reports from the secret guards, the Huns at the bottom lived a very difficult life. They did not know how to produce cloth and used fur to keep warm. In winter, they often slept with cattle and sheep to keep warm.

As for eating beef and mutton and drinking cow and goat milk every day, only the upper-class Hun nobles could enjoy this.The lower class of the Huns were even more miserable than those in the Zhuxia lands.More importantly, the Huns were much more affected by natural disasters than the Xia.

Although there are many cattle and sheep on the grassland, in the cold winter, a white disaster can freeze to death countless cattle and sheep.The people of Zhuxia can store food and rely on stored food to survive natural disasters, but the people of the grasslands cannot store large amounts of food.

Beef and mutton cannot be stored for a long time, and there is also a lack of salt on the grassland, making it impossible to pickle food in large quantities.A blizzard killed countless cattle and sheep, and the Huns were about to starve.

It is also because of the environment of this bitter cold land that the surviving Huns are very tough and have strong fighting ability.

With these weaknesses, if you want to defeat the Xiongnu Empire, you have to go against it. The Huns' heritage cannot be compared with Zhu Xia. As long as you defeat the Huns a few times and get lucky and have a few heavy snowfalls, the Huns will suffer heavy casualties.

There are not many other destiny artifacts in the Wang family, but there are too many celestial artifacts. As long as the Wang family is willing to pay the price, the Wang family can collapse the Xiongnu Empire with just a few destiny artifacts.Let it split into tribes again.

However, the cost of using the destiny artifact is too high, and the benefits obtained are too small.

Every time you use the Divine Artifact of Destiny, you have to pay at least [-] points of luck, as well as a corresponding lifespan.If they really fight with the Huns, the Wang family's vitality will be severely damaged.

As the leader of the Wang clan, although Wang Luo didn't know about luck, he could feel that every time he used the destiny artifact, he was depleting the family's heritage.

The barbarians in the grasslands are endlessly killed. If these barbarians in the grasslands are killed now, new barbarians will come back in a few decades.Do we have to use our family heritage every time a barbarian comes?it's out of the question.

If the family wealth is exhausted, the Wang family will perish soon.

How can we solve the threat of nomads to the Central Plains once and for all?Wang Luo couldn't find the answer.

It's not like he never thought about sending troops to the grassland, plowing the courts and sweeping holes, killing all the barbarians in the grassland, and then building a city on the grassland.But it can't be done.The grassland cannot be cultivated, and blood transfusions from the Central Plains are needed every year. It is okay when the national power is strong, but it will shrink immediately when the national power is weak.

Doing so is just drinking poison to quench thirst.

"Inform the caravan to go north to the Hetao to trade with the Huns. Remember that weapons are not allowed to be sold. Other salt, sugar, cloth, and wine can be sold. Silk, wine, spices, etc. are not limited. Exchange more. The good horse is back.”

"Your Majesty, I found that people on the grassland eat more meat and milk, and the winter is long. I like to use tea to relieve fatigue. Your Majesty, why not put the tea in too." The secret guard next to him said.

Wang Luo nodded and said: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Remember to write down every inch of land in the Hetao and draw it into a map."

"Here!" said the secret guard and then left.

Although I haven't figured out how to deal with the Huns yet, I need to prepare for the advance work.

Wang Luo planned to collect the terrain of the Hetao while using various fine wines, gorgeous silks, delicious food, and sugar to corrupt the Xiongnu nobles and indulge them in enjoyment.

The Daqian Dynasty did not do much research on various enjoyments. Wang Luo sent a caravan to deliver these enjoyments to the grassland.Wang Luo knew only too well how quickly the nobles fell.

For those nobles on the grassland who have never seen much of the world, once they have enjoyed these, it will be difficult to abandon them.

Being able to defeat a warrior is not necessarily a stronger warrior, but a comfortable and comfortable environment, mellow wine, delicious food, and gorgeous clothes.These are the perfect things to wear down your will and corrode your body.

People are all greedy for enjoyment, and with this nature, not many people can restrain their behavior.If you can hide from weapons that are visible on the surface like knives and guns, how many of these beautiful women enjoying food and wine can dodge?
