Because it involves Kuroda Vocational High School, so Konoe Qianjiu's letter, after Kuroda Vocational High School reads it, you must sigh that Konoe Qianjiu has indeed done his best, otherwise he would never have been able to write such a beautiful article. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For Konoe's thoughts a long time ago, how could Kuroda Vocational High School not know, after all, he is also a person who has lived here for more than ten years, and he can accurately grasp many of the psychology of the characters here, otherwise how can there be a rumor that Kuroda Vocational High School is a monster and can read people's hearts!

After reading Konoe's letter a long time ago, Kuroda Vocational High School was not ready to pursue anything, after all, the two families had to maintain a good relationship, so he just smiled and said something about the old fox.

It's not okay for Arima Hidejiu to be moved by himself, there is no real idea that the farmer is older than his brother, and Kuroda Vocational High School can only shake his head about this, but then again, sometimes he is more human-oriented, and he will have a lot less trouble.

Kuroda Vocational High School was originally going to return to Kuroda Castle directly to obtain it, but because of the relationship with Ma Xiujiu, he still chose to solve the matter of the horse first.

At present, the Kuroda family already owns three horse farms, all of which developed from the mountain horse farms of the first adoptive county in Tajima Province.

The first is the Tajima Country Adoptive Horse Farm, which is the earliest, largest, and largest horse farm in stock. At present, there are 130 stallions, more than 400 mares, and more than 300 horses at two horse farms in Chizu County of Inaba Province and Asari-gun of Tajima Province, and the total number of horses of the Kuroda family has reached 1,100.

When Kuroda Vocational High School came to the adoptive father's county horse farm, he was received by Li Er, one of the three Ming horse breeders who had been redeemed from the Jurchens before, who was originally a Liaodong begging for a living, and did not even have a name, and was captured as a slave by the Jurchens, and then forced to learn to raise horses.

"Little Li Er has seen the lord."

"Hmmm! No need to be polite. ”

Then Kuroda Vocational High School was surrounded by Li Er, Hattori Masari and others, and slowly walked on the horse farm. Speaking of this horse farm, it was originally the site of Kuroda's vocational high school, but he just roughly pointed out a range and let the people below think about the specific location for themselves. Not to mention, his geographical knowledge really played a role, so he had the current adoptive father's county horse farm.

This is indeed a suitable location for horse breeding, first of all, because it is about the same location as the Jianzhou Department in latitude, and it is also affected by the monsoon, so the climatic conditions are relatively similar.

However, the mountainous area of Equestria is not suitable for raising horses, but because of its proximity to the sea, it can obtain more rain from the ocean, and the mountainous area of the adoptive county is relatively closed, making the area relatively humid and suitable for the growth of pasture.

At first, Kuroda Vocational High School had a misunderstanding that he thought that the mountains were suitable for raising horses, because the horses raised in the mountains were generally horses with good endurance, such horses were suitable for long-distance travel, and the weight of the camel was relatively large, and they were not picky eaters. In Kuroda's impression, such a horse is really good, after all, he is not a professional, and he thinks about things from the perspective of income and cost.

In fact, Kuroda's idea was very wrong, at least not at all in line with the situation of the cavalry in his mind. Kuroda's vision was to form an elite division with strong mobility and sharp combat. It is true that mountain horses are hard-working and stand hard work, but ordinary mountain horses lack the impact power when charging, and it is difficult to cope with the charging task in large-scale combat.

Relatively speaking, the war horses in the Koshin area may be more in line with Kuroda's idea of vocational high school, which has both stamina and preliminary charging ability.

According to the Enki Shiki, there were 14 Gomaki (Royal Horse Farms) in Shinano in the history of the Wa Kingdom, three in Koshu, nine in Ueno, and six in Musashi. During the koma holding ceremony held in August every year, the tribute horses from Shinano, Kai, Musashi, and Ueno were brought from east of the Osakakan Pass to the Kinai and inspected at the Imperial Palace, amounting to 80 Shinano, 60 Kai, 50 Ueno, and 110 Musashi, for a total of 300 horses.

This number is actually very good, although later due to frequent wars, many imperial pastors were abolished, or were privately owned by the daimyo family, but the foundation for the production of horses in the Koshin Ueno area is still there, which is also a guarantee that the Takeda family (including the Sanada family later) can form cavalry.

And Kuroda Vocational High School had a wrong idea before, but in the end it was lucky to hit the right one, why do you say that, because the area of a horse farm he demarcated seems to be a mountain, but in fact, because of the river that originates in the mountains, it has impacted a large area of piedmont impact plain, because of the abundant rain, so the low grass plants grow luxuriantly, which is especially suitable for use as a horse farm.

It wasn't until someone reported the situation later, and when he patted Kuroda's vocational high school horse and said that he was clever, he didn't know what to say, anyway, he accepted the sycophant with a smile.

"What is the current situation at the racecourse?"

"Back to the lord, everything is normal at present, and the small statistics show that the existing horses can produce nearly 200 horses per year."

Do not doubt that horses have a strong reproductive ability, generally mares start to give birth to ponies from about four years old, one a year, give birth to a pony needs to be pregnant for twelve months, and the horse can be mated half a month after giving birth, that is, the mare is pregnant all year round until about twenty-five years old. In other words, as long as conditions allow, a mare is a tool for giving birth to children almost all his life, and this is the case with the Kuroda family's horse farm.

"Then if the family wants to form a cavalry team of three hundred people, with your experience, as well as the actual situation of the current horse farm and foreign trade to obtain horses, how long will it take?" Kuroda asked.

"The lord doesn't know, although the horses have a strong reproductive ability, but the horse farm also has the responsibility to let them recuperate, even if the largest pregnancy, the annual output is definitely only three hundred, this matter has actually been told to the lord before."

"Then you say that it would be better to provide how many horses a year in the current situation, don't be afraid, you are a professional, I will choose to believe what you say."

"Based on the results of communication between the three people, it is believed that if it is a war horse that needs to be fought all year round, it would be more appropriate for the three horse farms to provide a maximum of fifty horses a year, and this will be a few years later."
