Chapter 238 Who is Real
"It's like this. Our army currently lacks good horses. There have been many wars recently, and the loss of horses is very serious. Therefore, when I return to Chang'an this time, I want to solve this problem myself." Li Shimin said.

"Short horse?" Li Xiuning pondered for a while, "Second brother, have you thought about where to buy horses?"

"Well, I asked someone about it. There were no large-scale horse farms in the Central Plains. The real good horses are only found on the Turkic side of the Mobei grassland. But the Turkic people are sworn enemies with us Han people. They must not Maybe he sold the horse to us, I am also having a headache about this matter, and I came to you this time to discuss with you."

Xu Feng listened to it and thought it was amazing that Li Shimin would consult with Li Xiuning when he had something to do?
He really didn't realize before that there was anything outstanding about this Li Xiuning.

Regarding horses, this has indeed been a difficult problem in ancient China.

Because the Han people have no good horses, they have always been at a disadvantage when they invaded by the barbarians in the north.

Raising horses requires a large enough pasture for them. Generally speaking, a horse needs an area of ​​about one square kilometer to raise. If thousands of horses are raised at the same time, a large area of ​​several thousand hectares of grassland is required.

This is very easy to achieve in Mobei and the Mongolian plateau, because those places are sparsely populated, they are nomadic people, and ordinary people also have horses.

But in the mainland of the Central Plains, all these conditions are difficult to achieve.

Because the Central Plains has always been a farming culture, every land that can be cultivated is used to grow crops, which is why so many people can be fed.

Where can I find such a large area of ​​open space and build a special pasture to raise horses?

There is no such condition, and there is no such tradition.

Therefore, the mainland of the Central Plains has always lacked large-scale horse farms.

But lack does not mean absence.

Those conditions are only said to be difficult to achieve, but as long as the government is determined to raise horses, it can be completely worthy of the grassland people.

Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty led the Han cavalry, but the Huns were more than [-] miles north, and the Hu people dared not go south to herd horses.

During the Han Dynasty, Wei Qinghuo Qubing also brutally abused the Xiongnu. The Han cavalry at that time were stronger than the cavalry in Mobei.

However, raising horses is not part of the nature of the Han people, and raising horses wastes too much land, which is not in the economic interest.

Therefore, as long as it is in peacetime, there will be no dedicated people in the Central Plains to raise horses.

At this moment Li Shimin said that he was short of horses, Xu Feng was not surprised, but what was unexpected was that he asked Li Xiuning to discuss this kind of matter, could this princess do anything?

Li Xiuning said: "Second brother, I can take people to need to find the ranch, and I will definitely solve this problem for our family."

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. I've sent many people to inquire before."

Xu Feng was a little puzzled, isn't there a Pegasus Ranch in the world of Tang Dynasty?It seems that in the original book, the Li family went to the Pegasus Ranch to buy horses.

Why is it that Li Shimin and Li Xiuning seem to have never heard of it at the moment? Could it be that the traffic was inconvenient in ancient times and the news was really too closed?
"Second brother Li, I do know that there is a place that specializes in raising horses." It was actually Song Yuzhi who spoke.

Li Shimin's face couldn't help being happy when he heard it, and he couldn't help but took a step forward, "Yuzhi, do you know where there is a horse seller?"

"That's right, I mentioned it when I heard my father and brother talk." Song Yuzhi said playfully.

Xu Feng was speechless for a while. Could it be that Song Yuzhi provided Li Shimin with the news about the Pegasus Ranch?It seems to be the same. In the original book, it is indeed the Pegasus Ranch that Song Yuzhi went to with Li Xiuning.

But this Song Yuzhi is too stupid and sweet. His father is also a tyrant in the south, and he may not have no ambition to fight for the world. He just easily disclosed this news that can be regarded as a military secret to a man who is temporarily Friends, but people whose future is uncertain.

Naive, really naive.

Xu Feng looked at Song Yuzhi's silly look, shook his head, and murmured: "It's really big breasts and no brains, no, it seems that the breasts are not big."

"Hey, what are you mumbling about shaking your head? Are you planning some bad idea again?!" Song Yuzhi didn't answer Li Shimin's words, but asked Xu Feng who was beside him.

Because of Xu Feng's small actions, she happened to notice her.

"No, I didn't do anything." Xu Feng thought to himself, you brainless woman!
"You must be talking bad about me, hmph, I'll settle the score with you later." Song Yuzhi was about to answer Li Shimin's question again as he spoke.

But she seemed to think of something suddenly, she smiled badly, and said to Li Shimin: "Second brother Li, we are talking about these confidential things now, but why is there an outsider here, this is not very good."

Li Shimin naturally knew this a long time ago. He didn't trust Xu Feng, but because of his sister's face, it was impossible for him to let Xu Feng go out directly.

At this moment Song Yuzhi mentioned that he happened to have an excuse and was about to ask Xu Feng to go out.

Unexpectedly, Xu Feng spoke first, "King Qin, I was standing aside just now, and I didn't intend to eavesdrop on your brother and sister's conversation, but it seems that you are short of horses? Coincidentally, I also have news about a horse farm."

After Xu Feng finished speaking, he took a hard look at Song Yuzhi. I don't know if this little girl is really ignorant, or is it a prank, trying to spoil my good deed?
When Li Shimin heard this, he naturally couldn't open his mouth to drive people away. He heard that Xu Feng also had a ranch, so he smiled at Li Xiuning: "Xiu Ning, you are really my lucky star. I was not fooled by this horse at all. I don't have a clue, I was thinking about trying to discuss it with you, but I didn't expect that there are actually two nobles here who have the news of the racecourse, it's really great."

Li Xiuning also smiled slightly after being praised, glanced at Xu Feng, then at Song Yuzhi, but the smile on her face was not really happy, because she seemed to have discovered something in the interaction between the two.

"You also have information about the racecourse. Don't talk too much. You won't come when the time comes. Let's see how you end up." Song Yuzhi said fiercely to Xu Feng.

"You are allowed to have it, I am not allowed to have it, and maybe the racecourse we are talking about is the same one?" Xu Feng was not used to bickering with women, but this Song Yuzhi was really unbearable Stop hating her.

"Okay, tell me first if you have the ability." Song Yuzhi was very angry, and she was also very depressed, this Xu Feng!Why do you keep fighting against yourself!

Li Shimin saw that the two were about to quarrel, so he naturally preferred Song Yuzhi, and also felt that Xu Feng would not have any news about the racecourse.

After all, I have sent people to inquire about it for so long, but there is no news about it. How did Xu Feng, a grassroots man, know it?
If this kid is talking big and bragging, this will just puncture him.

So he said: "Brother Xu, don't get acquainted with this girl Yuzhi, tell me the information you know about the racecourse. If the information is true, our Li family will definitely reward you well."

Xu Feng waved his hand, "I do know this information, but I am not providing this information to you for the purpose of exchanging benefits, but purely to thank the princess for taking care of me this month."
