The person who was talked about was Tang Jiqing, his eldest brother Tang Jian was no longer the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and only the duke title of a country was left on his body, Xu Jingzong's father and son were pushed to the end, and he was like a fish that slipped through the net, this is to return to the police county.

Xie Jinlian drank a lot of wine, and her voice was also loud, and she was more than ten steps away from each other, and the second lady Xie pulled her throat and said that Tang County's order was "nonsense".

Tang Jiqing's follower is gone, in the police county, who dares to name the county commander? Eat the leopard's gall simply!

One of them stood down and yelled at the place, "Where did the crazy woman come from, she ran out and talked nonsense without even applying makeup!" Do you know that this is the Juguo Mansion? Do you know who you are offending against? ”

At the beginning, Cheng Chuli, who was kicked by the secretary of the military department and made a county order, was already the chief pastor of the future northern five herdsmen at this time, and only Tang Jiqing was still gray.

He had just been scolded by Ju Guogong, and it was because of his uneven anger that he had just left the house when he heard such a few harsh words, he was furious, and his eyes immediately opened.

"Who is so bold as to dare to block the gate of the Juguo Mansion to demonstrate!"

The attendant of the county magistrate shouted again, "Seize them and interrogate them in the palace!" ”

The two women on the horse opposite only brought five or six men and women to their entourage, and Tang Jiqing didn't know the one who spoke just now.

The other, more handsome, looked a little familiar, but because she also applied some shiny powder on her cheeks on one side, Tang Jiqing didn't see it clearly at first glance.

Waiting for the attendant to say it again, Tang Jiqing also saw who it was, he picked up the whip and gave it to the attendant, "Take your head!" Who are you talking to? ”

Then he arched his hand with a smile on his face and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Liu, if you offend or offend, you can blame the lower officials for having no one in their eyes, Mrs. Liu, please don't be surprised." ”

Xie Jinlian said, "Sister, he just said that we didn't paint our makeup well. ”

Tang County ordered to slap the man again, "You black duck's mouth!" A hillbilly in a small county also dares to come to Chang'an to talk nonsense! You don't want to think about it, if you dare to paint makeup on the street like this, the foundation is not ordinarily good! ”

The follower was wronged, and he didn't understand it, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore.

I only heard the woman opposite "poof" and smiled, "Jin Lian, let's go, dare to cause trouble outside the gate of the Juguo Mansion, and be careful Jun knows to clean you up." ”

They didn't even pay attention to Tang Jiqing and left with people.

When Tang County Ling heard the words "clean up you", he seemed to have a finger, and felt that his scalp was also tightened, he bowed down, arched his hands in a posture and did not move, and waited for them to go out before he straightened up and wiped his sweat, and said with a bitter face, "Hurry, hurry up and return to the police county!" ”

"My lord, who are they, so scared to you? They say you're talking nonsense, and you're talking nonsense. If you hadn't stared, the little one wouldn't have dared to drink that throat...... but in exchange for two lashes from adults. ”

"What are two whips? You haven't seen the miserable appearance of Xu Jingzong, the prince's right concubine, in front of the prince, the bones were dismantled, and now the official is gone, and the ribs are stacked at home! You'll have to give it to the official - it's a loss, and you can't say it anywhere! If this official didn't have the face of my eldest brother Ju Guogong, he would have to crawl to the police county! ”

"Your Excellency, you haven't told you who they are!"

After hearing Tang County's order tell them about their identities, the man who was whipped stuck out his tongue and said, "Don't say it, their makeup is just good-looking!" ”

After Liu Yuru and Xie Jinlian returned home, they immediately washed off the pearl powder on their faces.

But the next day, there were people on the streets of Chang'an who wore this makeup, and on the third day, Su Su, the top brand of Nanqu, led the latest popular "half-moon makeup" in the three songs, as the name suggests, one side is bright and the other side is dark.

……

Hunhe Ranch, Junshan Ranch, Jinwei Ranch, Zhangye Ranch, Yinshan Ranch, two of the five newly built middle herds are in front and three are in the back, positioned like a long snake that twists and turns, from west to east on the vast grassland in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and has gradually emerged in the embryonic form.

The eldest grandson run sat in Fengzhou, the major matter of transferring timber and personnel, the five animal husbandry supervisors who were in place in advance were each in place, and took their subordinates to build their own pastures, and then, the chief pastoral supervisor of the five animal husbandry Cheng also arrived in Fengzhou.

Shang Shuling was not idle in the back, the timber cut down in Shannan Road was not available, and the road across the mountain was a little far, so he ordered Yizhou to cut down the timber from Beishan to supply the Hunhe Ranch, Liangzhou to cut down the timber for the Junshan Ranch, and Daizhou to cut down the timber for the Yinshan Ranch.

"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and the pastures are low", young and middle-aged people from Yi, Gan, Liang, Feng, Sheng, Xiazhou and other northern states have signed up to be a herd in the five major pastures.

The north is located in the desert grass sea, and the distance between the two adjacent pastures is also thousands of miles, and the regular grazing team personnel of each ranch is controlled at 600 people, so the five ranches are 3,000 people. All the 3,000 people who shot Jin Huanming in the Jieli Department were transferred to the herding team and distributed to five pastures.

Although these ranches were built where there was a water source, they were far from the mainland, and the transportation of materials had to be taken into account. Changsun Run said that there could be no more formal pastoral teams.

The feeding method of the five herds is also mainly based on wild herding, only feeding dry fodder when the green and yellow are not harvested, and feeding some grain in the season of raising fat, so those herdsmen, most of the time in the field in a year, then they are also equipped with defensive weapons.

The regular pastoral team does not go out every day, but is stationed in the pasture, and has nothing to do to train and rush.

Gao Jun calculates that 600 regular shepherds per herd is not a few, no matter which pasture is in a hurry, the two adjacent herding teams, plus the herding team, there are also 2,000 people.

This kind of defense is not without loopholes, although the shepherd team does not take hundreds of miles seriously, but after all, it takes a lot of effort to rush. However, with the current national strength and military prestige of the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to attack a ranch in the north, but who would dare?

The office of the chief pastoral supervisor of the five animal husbands is located in the city of Fengzhou, and a large warehouse of pastures is added in the city.

The grain, clothing, and horse essence needed by Wumu are all distributed here, and government-run iron melting furnaces and blacksmith workshops are built to supply the iron tools and horseshoe that Wumu will need in the future. In the future, these new facilities in Fengzhou will be under the control of the chief pastoral supervisor of Wumu.

There is also the General Administration of Veterinary Medicine of Fengzhou, which is set up as a director, a director, and a doctor of medicine. In addition, 60 veterinarians were dispatched from Taifu Temple, AMTD Bureau and the Horse Department, 10 were stationed in the General Administration, and 50 were rotated to patrol the five ranches.

In order to expand the plate in a short period of time, Changsun Run almost exhausted the adult horses in the pastures of Wuwei, Shazhou, Shengzhou and Youzhou, which were originally on the front line in the north, and put them into the five herds in the north.

On the surface, this matter is being implemented according to the meaning of Mabe Langzhong, but more or less, there is still some resistance behind the scenes.

It's just that Tang Jiqing and Cheng Chuli violated the order first, and no one dared to clearly express their displeasure. The shepherds all "smiled" and gave up the horses in their pastures.

Later, Shang Shuling had a word that the ranch where the horses were drawn, the rank of the pastoral supervisor and officials below remained unchanged.

Say it early! Why don't you just smoke a horse? It's not a blood draw, nothing is a problem!!

However, the chief shepherd said that those who were willing to ask for horses in the future would be returned in full according to the bottom account in a year, and if any ranch was not willing to ask for them, the horses would not be returned (the shepherds were dumbfounded).

However, Shang Shuling plans to transform the stables and supporting facilities of the original ranch into a breeding base, and in the future, all the horses that are close to the birth period of Wumu will be sent in advance to take care of them, in order to reduce the drag of Wumu.

(The shepherds plucked the abacus beads: pregnant mares and foals born are always better to wait for than adult horses that are like dragons and tigers, and people will use them less...... But just after giving birth, I will leave, and the horses will go away, so what is left of my pasture here...... ）。

However, Shang Shuling means that the ranks of the original officials at all levels in the Yukoma base will remain unchanged, and according to the scale of the base in the future, the chief officer may be promoted by one or two ranks (said earlier!). ）

In addition, the original intention of preparing for the establishment of the ranch must not be forgotten.

After the Jieli tribe moved to Xiazhou, the herdsmen's horses were given priority to the northern pastures.

The shepherds exchanged horses for status, and gave lower-level official positions such as group leaders and shepherds according to the number of horses, and then they could eat public salaries.

Even if only one horse is sent to the ranch, as long as the owner is old and physically qualified, he can also become a member of the ranch as a herdsman.

This account is very easy to calculate, a horse is worth four or five thousand yuan, and a shepherd's annual salary is more than seven thousand yuan. Almost all of the horses of the Jieli tribe in Xiazhou were grazed.

Subsequently, the original farmland in Xiazhou has reduced the trampling of herds, and the old and weak women and children who have moved in from the Jieli Department can also take agriculture and mulberry as their business nearby, and they are all happy.

From November to Layue in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, the major event of the empire was basically to build a northern pasture, Sun Run, the eldest of Mabu Lang, was busy in front, Shang Shuling was busy in the back, and Liu Yuru and others rarely saw Gao Jun sleeping on time.

With so many herds and the formation of the shepherd team, there are also a lot of things to do, and how to raise the essence of the horses is a major matter at hand.

Gao Jun asked the first-line state capitals of Liangzhou, Lingzhou, Xiazhou, and Bingzhou in the north to undertake the task of supplying five animal husbandry concentrates.

The corn wheat in the four states will be transferred according to the plan and imported into the Toyosu Livestock Warehouse on a quarterly basis, and then distributed to the five herds by the transport fleet from there.

Jingzhou is more than 700 miles south of Xiazhou, and it stands to reason that the errands related to the five ranches in the north cannot be compared with the eight poles of Jingzhou.

But Jingzhou is also bitter, just suffered from a major drought, the people's minds have changed, and the new Linjing County Commander Gao Zheng has just arrived, so he sent the assassin back.

Gao Zheng arrived in Chang'an in the evening, and he didn't care about returning to Xinglufang's house, and even his wife An's didn't see it, so he ran to Yongningfang, and when he arrived, Gao Jun hadn't returned to his house.

Gao Zheng didn't leave, waiting for his brother.

Before closing the door of the fang, Gao Jun returned to his house, the equipment of the five herding guards in the north had just been set, and the ordnance supervisor was in charge, each escort team had 300 longbowmen, 100 fast crossbowmen, and 200 long knife men.

The leather armor of the herding team is provided by the Tianshan Ranch, which will be supervised by the supervisor himself.

When Gao Jun returned to the house, he always felt that there was something else he hadn't thought of, so he lowered his head and handed the reins of the charcoal fire to the housekeeper and walked in by himself.

He saw at a glance that Liu Yuru and others were accompanying the third brother Gao Zheng to sit in the middle hall and talk, he was stunned for a moment, and listened to Liu Yuru say, "Jun, the third brother has something urgent to talk to you, and he didn't even care about Xinglufang." ”

"Hehe, the third brother is in such a hurry, and he is not afraid of being locked up in Yongningfang, it must be Jingzhou's official business."

Gao Zheng said, "Brother, it's business, if I don't go back this time, Lord Thorn Shi will not be able to sleep, and I will not be able to sleep, you must think about it." ”

Of course, Gao Jun knew the intention of the third brother to run back this time, and Jingzhou Assassin Shi asked him to use the relationship between Xinglufang and Yongningfang to talk about things. Although I don't know what it is, if Gao Zheng runs empty this time, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to his foothold in Jingzhou.

Jingzhou has no iron, no copper, and no salt, and its five counties: Baoding, Lingtai, Linjing, Liangyuan, and Panyuan, have a total of more than 30,000 households and a population of more than 186,000.

Jingzhou's specialties are not like Fengzhou, Fengzhou at least has wild horse skin, white wheat, Indian salt, camel hair, and Jingzhou has only one kind - the local people use buckwheat straw to weave mats, the name is very magnificent, called dragon beard mat.

Gao Zheng is here for the dragon beard seat.

This year, the buckwheat harvest in Jingzhou is almost gone, but there are a lot of wheat straws, but in addition to the limited quantity of dragon beard mats supplied to Chang'an, there is no good place to go, those wheat straws are idle, and people are also idle.

Just as the northern five animal husbandry expanded, Jingzhou Thorn Shi asked the newly appointed Linjing County Ling Gao Zheng to find a sales office for Jingzhou, if this thing can be done, then Jingzhou even the old man and the old lady can get started.

Linjing County Ling explained his intention with great emotion, and then looked at Shang Shuling, the expectation in his eyes was self-evident, if he was really rejected by Gao Jun, he would have no way.

Gao Jun said to Liu Yuru, "But madam, the third brother came all the way to the house, why don't you make a meal?" ”

When Gao Zheng heard this, his heart sank, and he usually came to ask for help, but people didn't say that they were taking care of the meal in advance, that is, they politely refused.

Liu Yuru said, "It's not that I don't show Luo, the third brother originally planned to go back to Xinglufang after talking here, and he will go back to Jingzhou at dawn tomorrow, so he is in a hurry." Who knew that you came back late, and the third brother waited for a long time! ”

"Isn't that what it is? The mats are easy to say, and the shepherds in the five pastures are also different from other places, they are in the field all year round, what do they spread at night? You must not lie on the grass, and you must not miss the felt in winter and the mat in summer. ”

Gao Zheng's eyes lit up, "So, brother, do you agree?" ”

Gao Jun said, "The third brother came forward to talk about Jingzhou, can I disagree?" And who can't say I'm favoritism in this matter, right? ”

Gao Zheng said happily, "Exactly! The dragon beard mat is refreshing, breathable, and moisture-proof, and it doesn't stick to the meat when you lie down, and you can take it away as soon as you go! ”

Shang Shuling sighed, "Isn't this it!" A small incident almost delayed the meal. ”

The wine and food were put on the table, and the two brothers finalized the matter of the dragon beard seat while drinking: each shepherd in the five pastures, from the end of spring to the beginning of autumn, was given two collars of the dragon beard seat in two seasons, all of which were prepared by Jingzhou and sent to the Fengzhou Pastoral Warehouse on time.

It turned out that the one thing that made Jingzhou Thorn Shi frown was difficult to solve, and Gao Jun solved it with a word.

Gao Zheng's face also had light, the big things were done, the amount of alcohol also rose, and Gao Jun drank a lot, so he stayed in the guest room of Yongningfang, and at dawn the next day, he didn't go back to Xinglufang, got up and went back to Jingzhou.
