Lu Hao's eyes fell on the high platform of the school again, but he saw that Feng Yong had already disappeared.

His eyes were a little dull, as if he was answering, but also as if he was muttering to himself: "Compared with hundreds of talents, thousands of horses, what are they?"

"What is the minister talking about?"

"It's nothing. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first. You can take care of the matter of the war horse later."

Lu Hao shook his head and suddenly turned around and left. His figure seemed a little lost.

Qin Bo didn't know why Lu Hao behaved, but when he heard that the matter was left to him and others, he was overjoyed and put all his doubts aside on the spot.

These days, Liangzhou has given priority to examinations. Even if Lu Hao wanted to see Feng Mingwen, he could not get it. Qin Bo did not dare to act rashly, lest he leaked the affairs of the school affairs office.

At this time, I finally heard that the other party agreed to provide a good horse. Isn't this a great opportunity to meet Feng Mingwen?

"Qin Bo wants to see me?"

Before the ranking of candidates for the exam came out, Governor Feng had an additional invitation in his hand.

"Since he came to Liangzhou, I haven't seen him do anything. I thought he could keep his composure. It seems that he is more anxious than I expected."

It's a good thing for the other party to be anxious. In negotiations, whoever is anxious first will be at a disadvantage.

"Let him in."

Qin Bo, who was waiting anxiously outside, heard that Feng Jishi had agreed to see him. His face showed great joy, he quickly adjusted his clothes, and then followed his servants into the hall.

Seeing the tall figure at the top, Qin Bo saluted quickly without taking a closer look:

"Bo has met Junhou."

"Get up, there is no need to be so polite in school Qin's affairs, please sit down."

Qin Bo's heart skipped a beat when he heard Governor Feng reveal his identity:

Although the other party has never seen him alone, he made his identity clear as soon as they met, and he may have already investigated a lot of things secretly.

For Qin Bo, how to use the Han Dynasty, to be precise, how to use the Prosperous Han Conference to maintain the status of the school affairs office in His Majesty's heart is far more important than getting war horses from Liangzhou.

It's not that the war horse is unimportant, but that the war horse is only part of the purpose of his trip.

So when Governor Feng revealed his true identity, Qin Bo couldn't help but feel a little worried.

With this in mind, he quickly thanked her and sat down carefully.

After the servants served Qin Bo tea, Governor Feng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down, and then asked:

"I don't know if Principal Qin is here, but what's the important matter?"

"It must be related to the war horse trade..."

Feng Yong stretched out his arm and put three fingers on the lid of the teacup. Hearing this, he smiled:

"Isn't there a special person in charge of the war horse matter in the governor's office? Why do you bother Principal Qin to come and talk to me personally?"

Thousands of war horses are indeed a big event for Liangzhou.

However, the details of this transaction were not important enough for Governor Feng to come forward to discuss it in person.

If we say that a horse farm was opened in Longyou back then, and the horses bred from Hequ horses were used as both riding and pack animals, they solved the problem of spare horses and training horses for the cavalry.

So the beginning of mass breeding of mules was a sign that the mobility and logistics problems of the infantry were solved.

As for now, the Liangzhou horse is used as the mother breed to begin to solve the problem of war horses for heavy cavalry and elite cavalry.

To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty who controlled Liangzhou could not only cultivate horse breeds systematically, but the quality and quantity of the war horses they produced were much more stable than those of Wei.

After all, although the Wei State had Bingzhou and Youzhou, they often had to recruit qualified war horses from the Hu people.

What is knowledge reserve and technology accumulation?

That’s it!

Governor Feng has been keeping the Wu mission in the air these days, but it's not like he has done nothing.

Rather, he was deliberately testing Wu people's views on war horses.

After testing, the think tank of Liangzhou Governor’s Office came to a conclusion:

Does Wu, the man operating the ship, know a hammer-like war horse?

Governor Feng himself did not have enough of the fine war horses produced from Liangzhou horses, so it was certainly impossible to sell them to Wu.

But the first generation of war horses bred by the Han Dynasty, that is, the horses bred from the Hequ horse as the female stock, were picky and instigated by the Wu people, so there was no problem at all.

Anyway, that's what Governor Feng planned to do.

After understanding the details of the Wu people, Governor Feng's anger when he first heard about the Wu people's request for horses has turned into a calm state of mind.

The Hequ horse is awesome. It can be used as both a war horse and a pack horse. Its hooves are as big as bowls and its strength is not small. It’s very good!

It’s just that the horseshoe is a bit thin and easy to wear...

Governor Feng had no intention of telling Wu Guo about the little secret of the horseshoe.

A two-piece suit is almost enough.

When it comes to arms exports, it's basic to reduce allocations.

Horseshoes consume too much iron, so Wu State should not waste precious iron materials on such useless gadgets.

Besides, there is nothing else here in Liangzhou but Ma Duo!

When the horses in Jiangdong are not enough, you can buy them again at any time.

Everything was designed inside and out, and Qin Bo even came to tell Governor Feng about this matter. No wonder Governor Feng showed such a lack of interest.

Although Qin Bo's official position in Wu State was low, he was also a figure feared by many powerful officials in Wu State.

But in front of Governor Feng, he couldn't express his temper at all.

But seeing him accompanying him, he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, although I don't understand military matters, I have inquired a lot about war horses these days. These war horses cannot be immediately put into battle when they arrive in Wu."

"These days, I haven't seen much of the cavalry under your command. I found that the equipment of the cavalry is very different from that of the infantry. Raising horses is a big expense, not to mention that the cavalry has to be built separately.

ordnance."

"I, Da Wu, have been fighting with the Wei thieves for many years. The kings and princes are also people who know the military. I know that when the soldiers and horses move, money and food will be thrown out like water."

"So I, Da Wu, haven't had enough money and food in the treasury these past few years!"

Governor Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Qin School's affairs. The money and food in the Wu government's treasury are not yours. It's your Wu country's business. Tell me, I can't help you!"

"Besides, in the past few years, Liangzhou has been transporting grain from other places to provide relief every year. No matter how poor you are, can you be as poor as Liangzhou?"

"And this time, the war horses I gave to the Wu Kingdom were squeezed out by tightening the belt, but I lost all my money!"

It is impossible to bargain on price. When did I, Feng Gui Wang, ever do business at a loss?

If you make less money, it is already considered a loss. This is because the two countries are allies.

"Your Majesty is so humble! Who doesn't know that your Majesty is very good at amassing money? I have heard that in the past two years, your Majesty has sent troops outside the Great Wall and made a lot of money..."

Um?

Governor Feng's eyes turned cold and he glanced over, "Are you trying to ridicule me?"

Unexpectedly, he saw the admiration and envy on the other person's face:

"Zhuge Yuanxun is considered a young leader of our Wu Kingdom. He also pacified Shanyue last year. However, Xizai was unable to compare with the king's skill and magnanimity. He recruited more than 100,000 mountain people, but in the end, not even half of the money came into the treasury.

,well!"

When Governor Feng heard that "there are more than 100,000 mountain people", he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked subconsciously:

"How much does this cost? Why is there no money in the treasury?"

It took many years for Hanzhong to get more than 100,000 barbarians to fill the estates, and it was not easy for Hanzhong to prosper again.

In those years, Old Yao Zhuge was able to make a living just by collecting tolls, selling his membership in the militia, and selling dry food.

Not to mention the wave of sales after the Nanman were pacified.

But Qin Bo slapped his thigh:

"Otherwise, Zhuge Yuanxun is no match for the princes! He organized 40,000 young men into the army, but the remaining 60,000 to 70,000 people were secretly separated from the generals in the army.

Ku Na didn’t even get half of the money.”

Holy shit!

You generals in the Wu army are really happy.

If this kind of thing happened to the Han Dynasty, it would be a trivial matter if the generals in the army were fucked by the old demon Zhuge. Whether they could save their heads would be a big deal.

Hearing Qin Bo tell him such things, even belittling Zhuge Ke, Governor Feng's heart moved:

"So the reason why Principal Qin came here is not just for the horse transaction?"

Qin Bo moved his body and turned towards Governor Feng as much as possible to show respect:
Chapter completed!
