Chapter 323

The imperial court also ordered the two horse farms to transport the first batch of raised war horses to the northern border. If these war horses were transported to the northern border and could be used on the battlefield, it would mean that a large number of military horses could be raised in the south.

Although there are only a thousand horses in total, this batch of horses is of great significance to Dahui, because if this batch of horses can really be put into the battlefield, Dahui will completely get rid of the problem of lack of horses and solve the problem of shortage of war horses. Undoubtedly, it will play a great role in the final victory of the northern battle against Beihu.

But in the past, all the horses from the north were sent to the south. I have never seen a large number of horses raised in the south and shipped to the north. So this horse was born in the south and grew up in the south. Who can survive if it is transported to the north? Do not know at all.

Therefore, Emperor Xiankang attached great importance to this matter, and specially appointed Niu Jianzheng and four veterinary doctors from Taipu Temple to follow and take care of the thousand horses along the road. In addition, he ordered Li Yunchang to lead the transportation of the horses.

Whether these war horses can be invested is also related to the money income of the Qian family and Hui'an and other families, but Hui'an also attaches great importance to it.If it is successful, it is not a matter of money, she must also be credited, and it may be helpful to Xi Jue.

Hui'an originally wanted to follow these war horses all the way to northern Xinjiang, but she was a woman, so it was inconvenient at first, and she thought that Li Yunchang was also there, so she didn't go.But now that Qian Ruoqing had set off for five or six days, but suddenly ran over again, saying that the horses were sick, but Hui An had to be in a hurry!

She frowned and glanced at Qian Ruoqing, and then she came back to her senses, seeing that old man Liu was still standing aside, she hurriedly said: "Go into the room and speak slowly."

Xia'er knew that the three of them were going to discuss something, so she hurriedly went to the stove to boil water, and the three of Hui'an had already entered the house.

After sitting down, Qian Ruoqing said: "First of all, it's fine, but when it's feasible to go to the same city, it suddenly gets sick. At first, a few horses were not good to look at. Four veterinary doctors looked at the cause of water and soil, so they only fed medicine and did nothing. I didn't take it to heart, but gradually dozens of horses were infected with the disease, and the disease was very fast. Within three or two days, four or five hundred horses fell ill, and all the sick horses were separated. The horse still fell ill every day, and the cattle supervisor gave him medicine, but it didn’t help, so I hurriedly searched for it.”

Hui An frowned when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "What is the disease?"

Xia'er brought tea, Qian Ruoqing brought the tea, tapped the lid of the tea lightly, skimmed off the floating tea foam, and then said: "In the first few days, it was a dry cough, which gradually developed into a wet cough, and the sick horse still had a fever. It’s hot to the touch, and those severe ones have pus-like rhinorrhea, loss of appetite, and conjunctival congestion.”

After Qian Ruoqing finished speaking, Hui An knocked on the table twice, and then said: "What kind of medicine is the Niu Jian giving you?"

Qian Ruoqing took two sips of tea, put down the teacup, and said: "Jiu Jianzheng and four veterinary doctors looked at it, and they all agreed that it was horse nose and lung swelling. After a few days of medicine, it didn't work, and the number of infected horses continued to increase. His Royal Highness Qin Wang has already lost his temper twice. I saw that it was really impossible, so I rushed over in a hurry."

Hui'an murmured twice when he heard the words, frowned and looked at Liu Sande, and asked, "Master, what does it look like?"

But Liu Sande shook his head, and said: "I can't see a sick horse, but I can't be sure just by listening to it. It may be that the horse's nose and lung are swollen. Maybe it's the wrong dose of medicine, or missing a single medicine will sometimes affect the efficacy of the medicine. Maybe gastroenteritis, or pulmonary edema...it's hard to say."

Hui An also sighed when he heard the words, looked at Qian Ruoqing, and said, "Did someone die of illness?"

Seeing Qian Ruoqing shaking her head, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll follow you to have a look! It's just that I still need to go back to the Eastern Capital."

Qian Ruoqing said: "That's not necessary. I came here from the palace. I also asked the Queen Mother about this matter. The Queen Mother said that since it is an important matter for the court, you should pay more attention. Although she is a woman, you should do it urgently." Quan, when it is time to do our best, we must not weaken the power of women because of those pedantic customs, even if we go to the north with us, it will not be a problem."

Hui'an's eyes brightened slightly when he heard the words, but his heart felt touched, he knew that this was the empress dowager's tolerance for her, and he probably knew that if this matter was done, it would be a credit, so he said that, in the future, someone will use this matter to attack her, With the empress dowager, these words can stop people's mouths.

Hui An pursed her lips, looked at Liu Sande again, and said, "Master, I want to go with An Niang..."

But Liu Sande waved his hands hastily, and said repeatedly: "Young lady is very intelligent. In the past two years, she has grown out of the blue, and she has already been able to become a teacher. I am afraid that the old man will not be of any help. Besides, the old man's legs are useless. Girls know it too."

Learning to treat horse diseases is different from learning to treat human diseases. Let alone learning the medical skills of treating people for two or three years, even if you study for ten years, it is impossible to surpass your master.Those who are exceptionally gifted in this way may barely be able to practice medicine alone.

But learning to manage horses is different. Firstly, it is much easier and more casual to manage horses than humans.As long as you study hard for two years, you can learn to be a teacher.

Hui'an has specialized in this technique for the past two years, and she has the ability to find many unique medical techniques that Liu Sande has never seen in her life. In addition, Liu Sande is a veterinarian for six animals, and all kinds of animals can see it.But Hui'an only learns to treat horse diseases, and she has been busy at the racecourse for the past two years, but she has come into contact with more horses than Liu Sande has in her entire life.Therefore, Hui'an's ability to manage horses is really better than blue, but Liu Sande's words are not flattering.

And Liu Sande has old cold legs. Although the south is already warm in spring, it will be much colder in the north, and his legs will not be able to stand it.

What's more, although Liu Sande can treat horses, he is a lowly veterinarian in a small town who has no status and has never seen the world. Before Hui'an found him, he had never even seen a seventh-rank county magistrate, let alone a portrait able to climb up the relationship.When he first found out about Hui'an's identity, he was walking on thin ice. Now, even after two years, he was still very cautious when getting along with Hui'an.

Such an old man has never traveled a hundred miles in his life. If you ask him to leave his hometown to go so far north by himself, he will really panic and be unwilling.

This Qian Ruoqing did not reveal his identity, if Liu Sande knew that he was a prince and his mother was a princess, he might have passed out from shaking at this moment, how could he still sit here and talk.
