I can't say anything about this.

So Wang Ju just vaguely said a general trend.

"You worshipped Zhang Zai as a teacher, you should have heard that Xue Zhuan Envoy was presiding over Ma Zheng, right?" Cheng Kan sighed slightly, he had warned Zhang Zai at the beginning, but Zhang Zainai was an honest man, where had he played with this kid's heart, and he didn't think he was a treasure soon.

Wang Ju nodded.

"Ouyang Gong wants to set up a horse supervisor in Lanshi Erzhou, but horses are also earthy, and they can't put Xifan horses in Hedong to breed, so this official wants to buy a horse club and buy horses in Xixia, and at the same time, Hedong also buys a horse club and buys horses from the Khitan side, so that the horse supervisors in Erzhou can have horses."

Wang Ju also knows a little about this history.

Fan Xiang died, and Xue Xiang replaced Fan Xiang as the Shaanxi transit envoy, an official who was very good at financial management, and his financial management ability could rank among the top ten in the Song Dynasty.

Shaanxi transshipment, one is military spending, the other is salt, and there is another, that is, horses.

The Song Dynasty set up many pastoral supervisors in Hedong, Hebei, Kaifeng and Shaanxi, which were places dedicated to raising horses, and the largest pastoral supervisor in Shaanxi was in Shayuan between Weishui and Beiluoshui, in the Tongzhou area of northern Huazhou. The area is not small, 80 miles from east to west, 30 miles from north to south. It used to be an important horse breeding place in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The idea is good, but the times and the situation are different, just like the Dafei River, is it still a good pasture land covered with swamps? What was once a good pasture has now become a place where the pond is dry and the environment deteriorates frequently due to droughts and floods.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty lacked horses, so the horses came from a mess, including Sichuan horses, Western Xia horses, Khitan horses, Tibetan horses, Uighur horses, and even Dali horses and Guangnan horses. These horses are all in the north and south, can they be raised well in the sand garden?

Officials are greedy for ink or inaction, and even withhold feed, deliberately raise horses to death, and use dead horses for profit, horse meat, horse skins, horse tails, and horse mane can be sold for money.

Large households continue to encroach on farming, and the area of pastoral supervision is decreasing day by day.

Therefore, Xue Xiang went down to check, was dumbfounded, and immediately went to the book, Shayuan raised horses, occupied thousands of hectares of land, and spent 40 million per year, only 300 foals. With such a large area of land, it costs more than a hundred dollars to get a foal.

In the book, the imperial court was shaken, and Xue Xiang offered another strategy, renting the idle land to the people, so that the big families could invade the farm, and it was better for the government to get some rent. Then let the merchants of Qinzhou come to the capital, give them the passage fee and capital, and then go to the border to buy horses, and then buy horses in Weizhou and the Deshun army, and give them a salt exchange.

If the merchants want to make profits, they must carry the salt solution to sell to all parts of Shaanxi, expand the sales channels of the salt solution, and resist the impact of the green salt in the Western Xia. Instead of the southwest, the imperial court did not lack salt, but how to sell the salt, so the imperial court got a large number of war horses at a very small cost.

Second, the horses of Xijon are harvested in the west, and they do not lose their soil, that is, they will not be dissatisfied with the soil and water, resulting in the death of a large number of war horses. Third, there are many wastelands in Qinwei, which can be developed into pastures without encroaching on fertile land.

This is a good construction yì, so Zhao Zhen issued an edict, with Xue Xiang to lead the road supervision and horse buying business, still in Yuanzhou, Weizhou, Deshun military buy horse farms, his Tongzhou Shayuan supervisor and Fengxiang Mansion pasture as the envoy group of pastoral officials, and ordered Xue Xiang to sponsor to hear.

Xue Xiang wrote again, there were originally nine horse farms in the northwest, but Zhenzong said that although he bought the horses of the Tibetan country, he also recruited the Tibetan Ministry to serve the enemy, and it should not be taken lightly. As a result, there is only one of the nine major horse farms in Qinzhou, and most of them are Han merchants. It cost the imperial court about fifty or sixty thousand yuan to obtain a horse from them, but these merchants, in order to make a profit, sold the horses to the government were sick and weak, and the horses were sick and thin horses under four feet and two inches.

The court allowed it again.

Therefore, Wang Anshi and Cai Jing were ruthless to the merchants, and it is true that sometimes what they did was too unauthentic. For example, this horse, for example, mixed sand, gravel and mud into military rations.

It would have been a good thing.

But there are too many miscellaneous people, at that time Ouyang corrected the transfer from Kaifeng Mansion Yin to the herdsmen, this hole was opened, I felt that my face was dull, and I would forgive my sins, so I also wrote on the book, Tang Zhirandi, west from Longyou Jincheng Pingliang Tianshui, outside and the field of the river meander, inside is Qi, You, Jing, Ning, east of Yin, Xia, and east as for Lou Fu. Now it has not entered the Tibetan realm, and has fallen into the invasion of tenants, and cannot be recovered. However, between the east Lan and the stone of the river, there are many barren mountains, the side of the Fen River, the grassland is also wide, and the water and grass are the most suitable for shepherding, and this tenement building is annoying. If you push it here, you will be able to get the old land of the three prisons of Loufu, Yuanchi and Tianchi. In previous years, the minister sent envoys, tried to win the east and Liaozhou, and pacified the army, and its land rate was more idle. Hedong Road, the water and grass are very good, the terrain is cold, and it must be suitable for horse nature. Between the Tang Dynasty and Ru in the western part of Beijing, the wasteland is also wide. Please send officials to the Hedong and Jingxi transfer divisions to review, and if the prison can be established, then the Hebei prisons can be abolished.

Ouyang Xiu's construction is a little better, although with bad intentions, hindsight.

But the other person is funny, Xiao Song Song Qi.

He had also served as a herd envoy before, and Xue Xiang poked people out of the black holes, and his face was also dull, so he dug out his heart to write a recital.

The minister, who had served as a herd envoy before, once said that if the eunuchs bought 50,000 or 60,000 mares, they would get 50,000 or 60,000 horses at the age of one year, and within five years, they would get 250,000 horses, and they would be broken and killed by two-tenths, and they would get 200,000 horses, and then they would choose half of the horses to be pack horses, and they would also get 100,000 war horses. You can chase away with Yidi.

This is not raising horses, but raising sows, and old sows may not have this reproductive ability......

However, even Xue Xiang's Jianyì Wang Ju did not agree with it.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Cheng Gong, with the meaning of the kid, Xue Gong's move may not be appropriate. ”

"Oh."

"Cheng Gong, Xue Gong is still raising horses, but what is the goal of raising horses? It is to build a mighty cavalry. Why can't you raise horses, but profiteers make profits, collude with officials, and sell inferior horses to the imperial court. Xu officials are greedy for ink, deduct the cost of raising horses with greedy ink, and guide zhì horses to raise badly or even die. It also occupies a large amount of fertile land. Even if it is moved to Weizhou, these ills cannot be changed. It is better to simply hand over these horses directly to the army. ”

"The court will always be short of horses."

"I am destined to lack horses because of the loss of the Lingzhou Hetao and the river river." Wang Ju said categorically.

In fact, by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if the Song Dynasty occupied Hehuang, it did not really organize a strong cavalry. It was Ma Zhengshe's original quest.

"The same is true of Ouyang Gong's Jianyì, if you have the heart to herd horses in Hedong, it is better to hand them over to the people to raise, and raise them for profit, the court will save a lot of redundant expenses, and the people will try their best to raise good horses."

Wang Juzhen thought that Cheng Kan had purchased a horse buying club in order to cooperate with Ouyang Xiu, so he left.

Watching Wang Ju leave, Mrs. Cheng said, "Official, why don't you tell the truth." This little guy is clever, and maybe he will come up with a better way. ”

"What does he know?" Cheng Kandao.

However, he said two things, which made the officials think deeply.

Cheng Kan's mouth opened, and he was speechless.

This horse buying agency is part of Cheng Kanda's plan.

The area of Western Xia is not small, but the products are poor, mostly deserts and Gobi deserts, so many materials such as cloth, tea, copper and iron and even grain, must be suppressed in the Song Dynasty. Once interrupted, it will immediately cause crises, such as the Qingli Song-Xia War, in the Song Dynasty, the coarse silk that was not worth the usual money in the Western Xia actually skyrocketed to more than eight yuan.

After the invasion of the Quye River, the Song Dynasty interrupted the city, especially after Xue Xiang presided over the transfer affairs of Shaanxi, and sniped the circulation of green salt, and the prices in Western Xia began to rise again.

The people of Western Xia were persecuted, and the people of Hengshan were even more persecuted.

There is also a period of history, Li Jiqian's rise to power, the earliest was the support of some tribes in Yinxiayou's mountainous areas whose interests were damaged, including the Yeli tribe who supported Li Jiqian and married his daughter to Li Jiqian. The Song army came, fled to the Nanhetao Desert, withdrew and came back, and dragged the Song army alive to acquiesce to his acquisition of the Yinxia region.

This Qiang people are Hengshan Qiang.

But with the killing of Yeli Yuqi, even with Hengshan Qiang became low in Western Xia.

Feeling depressed and impoverished, many Hengshan Qiang became dissatisfied with Western Xia.

Therefore, the Hengshan Department wrote a secret letter to Cheng Kan on the side of the light mud Huai, and was willing to lead the department, and even gather some tribes, defect to the Song Dynasty, and cooperate with the Song army to directly take Lingxia and build an immortal foundation for all generations.

Cheng Kan was overjoyed to get the secret letter, and the fool also knew that if it was operated properly, it would also be a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Zhu Huan's buying of horses also gave Cheng Kan an idea.

Hengshan was poor, lacking food and clothing, and using some of the grain could lure the Hengshan tribes to sell private horses to the Song Dynasty.

But the Song Dynasty continued to ban mutual markets, how would the Western Xia side react?

As long as the Western Xia forbade it, more tribes would be dissatisfied.

Great things can be done!

But Cheng Kan now has to choose between three options.

The first option is to support the material weapons on the side of the light mud, and let the side of the light mud send troops to Lingxia. That would not be true, but it would give some heavy blows to Western Xia, and even cause a greater split among the various departments of Hengshan.

The second option is to take in, let the light mud Huai side escape to the Song Dynasty with the various departments, this is easy, it is at the border, if possible, the light mud Huai side can bring tens of thousands of people to the Song Dynasty. Hengshan Qiang is powerful, there have to be people, flee to the Song Dynasty together, where is there any Hengshan Qiang. Even if the Qiang people remained, the Western Xia was more vigilant and could generate more room for operation.

The third one is radical thinking. Let the light mud cooperate with the side and decisively send troops to Hengshan, it is impossible to occupy the entire Hengshan, but it can occupy one-third, and there is a condescending trend of this one-third, then it will be able to have a strict threat to Lingxia, how much initiative will the Song Dynasty occupy at that time?

The opportunity came, but Cheng Kan had no choice.

In fact, the biggest opportunity Cheng Kan missed.
