115 Daan Port
In ancient times, there were no cars, but they still couldn't erase men's pursuit and yearning for a good means of transportation.
Gan Dabiao has long wanted to have a car of his own, and people from Tanmen have never had a good impression of this kind of thing because of Li Tianyang's influence on Li Tianyang.
Although Gan Dabiao has been pampered all these years, he still looks strong and strong because of his exercise in the early years and the hard life he has lived in these days to open up his base.
He was a little afraid of death when he fought, but he was really interested in things like horseback riding, which were not life-threatening. Of course, in his vague selfish heart, if he can learn to ride a horse and escape when there is danger in the future, the success rate of escaping on horseback is that he has escaped on foot!
The day after these more than 600 horses were transported to Da'an Port, Gan Dabiao chose a pure white Korean mare with no miscellaneous hair for himself!
Because the stallion has not been castrated, I heard from the horse breeder that it is a little short-tempered and not easy to tamesticate, especially for a novice like Gan Dabiao. Therefore, Gan Dabiao easily let go of a taller horse in the herd, and chose such a petite and docile mare instead.
Of the more than 600 horses, less than one-third were stallions, and the rest were all mares, and most of them were low-slung horses, and only a few were tall horses from the prairie.
As a cavalry horse breed, the Korean horse is not the horse breed of choice for the Ming cavalry, but for the Bengang team at this moment, the Koryo horse is the most suitable horse breed for Bengang at this time.
When the ranch was first built, the environment of Da'an Port was not good, and even the pasture in the pasture was a weed native to Dayuan Island.
The biggest advantage of the Korean horse is that it is easy to breed, as a half mountain horse breed its requirements for the living environment are not high, do not need to consume too much food as ration consumption, can give Gan Dabiao enough time to understand and be familiar with the horse nature, summarize the experience of breeding and breeding horse breeds.
And another point, because the Koryo horse is shorter, it is also more suitable for the group of recruits in Bengang to learn how to ride a horse and master the essentials of horse riding. The horse's speed is both a disadvantage and an advantage, so in the process of learning to ride in ordinary times, for the first brother of Hongtang in the future, the danger is much lower than that of the high-headed horse like the Hetao horse.
Just like the current Gan Dabiao, just accidentally alarmed the snow-white mare under the seat, scared the mare to run away, and even the horse tamer didn't pay attention to the horse, slipped out of the smoke, and turned Gan Dabiao away, and finally fell down more than ten zhang away, and stood up with an old waist grinning teeth for a long time.
And the snow-white Korean horse, after shaking off Gan Dabiao on his body, gradually slowed down and paced leisurely and freely in the pasture.
After the horse trainer finally regained control of the reins of the white horse, the scolding Gan Dabiao wanted to whip the horse he fancied fiercely, in order to avenge himself for being thrown off the horse by it and embarrassing himself, but the whip was raised high, and in the end he couldn't bear to pull it down, so he just patted the little guy's buttocks.
"Mayor Town, these horses have not yet been domesticated, if you want to ride, please give the little one two months, and you will be able to tame this horse properly!" The horse trainer's surname is Zhou Ergou, which was recruited by He Yong from Dongjiang Island, Dayuan Island is located in the south, and it is almost impossible to find a skilled horse trainer, so He Yong recruited more than ten horse breeders on Dongjiang Island nearby, and Tuesday Dog is one of them.
If you want to exchange for a usable war horse from Mao Wenlong, a military attaché, the chance is still very small, although Mao Wenlong exhausted her efforts to eat horses for the people of Dongjiang Town, but she is still a qualified general, and it is impossible to sell the best war horses to outsiders, even if it is Li Tianyang's colleague.
Therefore, many of the horses that He Yong and his hands have returned to are only medium-sized horses, and most of them are short Korean horses, most of which have never been domesticated, even if they want to use them, they still need to be domesticated by horse trainers to spend energy to domestilate before they can be used.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Gan Dabiao sighed and gently stroked the mane on his horse's back.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I will return you a well-behaved and obedient horse in two months!" Tuesday the dog humbly answered.
Leaving the pasture in disappointment, Gan Dabiao headed for the newly built Da'an Port, where a large number of cattle and sheep were waiting for him to allocate pasture.
It is also a blessing for future generations, Li Tianyang even forgot which one it was, he only knew that it was a farming text about raising horses and racing horses, and a few words about pasture pasture were understated on it, for Li Tianyang, who established a pasture in the south for the first time in this era, it was like a guiding light, although he didn't know if this one was correct, but he tried to still follow the book of later generations, so that Gan Dabiao would sprinkle the seeds of alfalfa grass in the newly opened pasture.
Alfalfa, as a forage grass, is actually not a real technology for a long time, as early as the Western Han Dynasty spread from the original Western Regions to the Chinese grassland, but no one has paid attention to it and effectively planted it on a large scale.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of the ranch, Li Tianyang had already asked the R&D Park to cooperate with the Agricultural Bureau to plant and screen out the most dominant species of alfalfa grass on a small scale, and finally selected alfalfa, and took advantage of the natural climate of Dayuan Island to store a large number of alfalfa grass seeds.
When the initial development of the pasture on Gan Dabiao's side was completed, in addition to a large number of weeds in the pasture, a large number of alfalfa sown down also took root and sprouted, blossomed and fruited, dyeing the pastures into a purple red.
Now that the owner has finally arrived, a large number of vacant pastures will also usher in its real owner, which is really not easy for Gan Dabiao, who has been struggling in Da'an Port for almost two years, and with a strong sense of satisfaction.
The "moo" herds of cattle and sheep were distributed to various large pastures by Gan Dabiao, and the horses of the larger ethnic groups were placed in separate pastures according to their gender and age.
It seems to be a very simple job, but it is really a lot of trouble to do, while absorbing Li Tianyang's advice, Gan Dabiao also asked for the advice of those shepherds, and it took several days to divide the nearly 1,000 livestock into pastures.
