The old groom Xia Peng nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said one after another: "Get used to it, get used to it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info grass people, oh, no, no, it's a lower official, when the lower official was in the Qin State, he was just a lowly horseman, he never thought that one day he would be able to be an official, the Shangguan sympathized with me, and tried their best to take my family to enjoy the happiness together, now my wife and eldest son's family are also working in the horse farm, and the lower official has nothing else to think about now, just sleepless, and I have to raise the horse well, and breed the best horses for Your Majesty. ”

Luo Yi, the deacon of Qinggan Hippodrome who was a little farther away, was originally afraid that this colleague who didn't know much about the rules would say something inappropriate, but when he heard these words, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

What are the most comforting words? It's not the kind of impassioned expression of loyalty, it's not like kowtowing like pounding garlic, and sycophants are like the heavens not rolling in, as the founding emperor Qin Feng doesn't eat this set, but Xia Peng's heartfelt, but inadvertently revealed language, which can make people feel as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit.

"Why can't the groom be an official?" Qin Feng laughed, "As long as you have a skill, you can make the horses in this Qinggan hippodrome endlessly give birth, raise them, and raise them well, then you will have a great contribution to the country." Xia Peng, I have one more request I hope you can do. ”

"Your Majesty, please command, the subordinate must do his best." Xia Peng said.

"I know very well that you have your own unique skills, this horse raising technique, is also your Xia family's ability to eat, many people, secret skills are self-cherished, I just want to pass on from father to son, son to grandson, I don't want these stunts to be passed on. My request is that you bring more apprentices out, and let these apprentices be as good as you are. Don't be afraid that the apprentice who taught you will steal the master's job, the more good apprentices you bring out, I will promote you to a higher official, how about it? Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, now the lower officials are very satisfied. Xiaguan has no other specialties, he will only raise horses, breed, and do what His Majesty commands, Xiaguan must do, and he must bring many, many apprentices out to breed more good horses for Daming. Xia Peng said.

Qin Feng turned around, looked at the officials behind him, and said loudly: "This is the reason why Da Ming can continue to grow and become stronger and stronger." People do their duty, everyone works hard, and those who do practical things should be duly rewarded. ”

Behind him, a large number of people bowed down, and the praise of His Majesty Shengming was endless.

Turning his head, Qin Feng looked at Xia Peng: "You agreed to a request from me, and in return, I also promised you a request now, say, what do you want?" ”

As soon as Qin Feng said this, the people behind him, including the first assistant Quan Yun, were a little nervous, Your Majesty said that as soon as these words came out, they couldn't take it back. If Xia Peng made any difficult requests, it would be troublesome.

Xia Peng rubbed his hands nervously, his face was already a little dark, but at the moment it was purple and purple, "Your Majesty, Xiaguan doesn't have any other requirements, that is, even if my eldest son has entered the city a few times, I don't know who has said something, and when he comes back, he will make a fuss about sending my two grandsons to the school to study, Xiaguan's family, they have been raising horses for generations, what books do you read!" But my son and I got on the bar, I asked Lord Luo to inquire, there is a school run by the imperial court in Yuejing City, but the number of people has already been filled, and it can't be squeezed in at all, and those private ones are too expensive, and the lower officials' Yulu is a little unbearable. ”

"That's it?" Qin Feng was dumbfounded, and the officials behind him also widened their eyes, what a good opportunity, this old boy really doesn't know how to cherish it. Your Majesty doesn't say that you can see it, and even if you do, it is even rarer to let Your Majesty open your mouth to say this, as a result, Xia Peng actually proposed such a thing that is not a matter at all in the eyes of everyone, who can't do it to the people present?

"That's it, now the lower officials are very satisfied, they live quickly, they are well fed, they are warmly dressed, they have work to do, they have money to take, and there is nothing else to do." Xia Peng seemed to feel that he had made a big request, and looked at Qin Feng with some uneasiness.

Qin Feng nodded with some emotion, and turned around and said, "Horse Monkey, after returning to the city, you will make a special trip to arrange the two grandchildren of Lord Xia to the best school." Lord Xia cultivates talents for us to raise horses, so let's train these two little grandsons for Lord Xia, hahaha! ”

The group had a simple lunch at the Qinggan Hippodrome Farm, and then left here for Beidaying, that is, Fengtai Daying, in front of the racecourse, Qin Feng stretched out his hand to recruit Luo Yi, the steward of the Qinggan Hippodrome Farm.

"You are a good steward of the horse farm, the management is also well organized, and the horses in the horse farm are also very well raised." Qin Feng Dao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Luo Yi was a little excited.

"For technical talents like Xia Peng in the racecourse, you still have to pay more attention, they are the foundation of this racecourse, Luo Yi, this racecourse can still do a good job without you, but if these people are missing, then there will be problems, do you understand what I mean?" Qin Feng admonished.

"Understood, Your Majesty." After being excited, Luo Yi's vest began to swish and cool again, "Xiaguan must be the big housekeeper of this horse farm, not only the horses, but also the people." ”

"Well, it looks like you really get it. A leaf and know the autumn, don't look at this is just a small horse farm, but he reflects our Ming thirst for talents, as long as you have a skill, to our Ming Dynasty, there is definitely a place for you, eclectic to reduce talents, we even raise horses groom can be awarded officials, other people come, with the ability to get an official and a half position is not easier? Qin Feng turned his head to look at Quan Yun and smiled.

Quan Yun nodded knowingly: "Your Majesty, the minister understands, and the minister will greatly publicize this matter in the palace newspaper, so that the whole world will know His Majesty's thirst for talents." When it can attract more talents from all over the world to invest. ”

Qin Feng laughed: "What we want is talents, but don't let some indiscriminate people get in." Let's go, let's go to the Fengtai camp to see how Yu Chao's cavalry is training. ”

In the midst of laughter, Qin Feng spurred his horse and rushed towards the Fengtai camp like the wind.

Compared with last year, when Qin Feng came, the Fengtai battalion has undergone great changes, and as a cavalry battalion that Qin Feng paid attention to and focused on the construction of the Ministry of War, although it has only been half a year, its appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Rows of barracks of blue bricks and red tiles have replaced the original temporary shelters, the original wooden fences have all been replaced with solid walls, and the sentry towers have been towered, and this place has become a cavalry military battle.

Qin Feng was here, and he unexpectedly saw the skillful hand of the Ministry of Works.

"Your Majesty." Looking at the skillful hands coming over, Qin Feng was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is really a coincidence, I really didn't know that Your Majesty would come to the Beida Camp today for a review, I came specifically to send a horse lance to the Beida Camp." Skillfully said with a smile.

"Ma Shuo?" Qin Feng looked at the skillful hand in puzzlement: "Didn't you say that this weapon is difficult to make and will take at least a year to complete?" ”

"Your Majesty, it was true at the beginning, the horse lance is powerful, but the cost is high, and the production is extremely troublesome, but then after I went back, I thought of a problem, the sample that Your Majesty gave me, is used by the general, ordinary soldiers, there is no need to be so meticulously pecked, so I experimented a few times, reduced a few processes, time, and cost have been greatly reduced, and now the first batch of 1,000 has been made, I specially sent them over to try it, to see if there are still defects that need to be improved." The skillful hands are a little proud.

Originally, the cost of a horse lance was as high as a hundred taels of silver, but after a toss by him, the cost dropped by half, and more importantly, the production time was greatly shortened, and although the quality and power had decreased, it was enough for ordinary cavalry.

"How's it powering?" Qin Feng turned his head to look at Yu Chao.

"Your Majesty, compared to the spear used before, it is indeed much more comfortable, and more importantly, it is much more powerful." Yu Chao's face was full of excitement, "On the school ground, the soldiers are experimenting with the newly arrived horse lance, Your Majesty, please move and watch." ”

"Let's go, take a look, even if the cost has been reduced by half as the skillful hand said, but a horse lance is still fifty taels of silver, this is completely a weapon made of silver, and the court threw the money in, so you have to listen to it." Quan Yun nodded repeatedly.

Standing on the reviewing stand in the school field, below, thousands of cavalry stood on horseback, each horse lance shining in the sun, looking down from above, only the face of the outermost cavalry, inside, all blocked by the long horse lance blade. The formation of thousands of cavalry, but it is not chaotic at all, compared to the chaos seen when I first came to Fengtai Camp, it is really a new look.

The drums sounded, and the first row of horsemen rode out, first trotting, then accelerating, the long maules flat in their hands, and the soldiers holding their tails and stretching them forward.

The drums suddenly became excited, and the cavalry immediately accelerated, rushing forward, and the scarecrows in armor standing on the ground rushed forward. These scarecrows were tied to the wooden pillars of a cross, and the whole weight was not much lighter than that of people.

The sprinting cavalry shouted loudly, and the horse lance in his hand struck forward, with a bang, breaking the armor, piercing the wood, until the plot on the long blade of the horse lance, at this moment, the horse lance bent out of a great arc, and then collapsed and bounced straight, and the dummy standing on the ground had been picked up and flyed.

Dozens of people shot together, dozens of dummies were picked up and flew in the air, and with the sound of crackling and landing, Qin Feng showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He clapped softly.

"You get what you pay for!" He chuckled and said: "This horse lance is so long, the soldier holds the tail to keep it straight, but it doesn't take much effort, when it stabs the enemy, the lance bends, as much as possible to reduce the force of the counterattack but it is constantly strong, it can be seen that its tenacity, good horse lance, good cavalry!" ”
