Chapter 11 Candidates

After discussing the matter of luring Luo River into the Bian River, we took a short rest and everyone talked a few words, and then the topic turned to the new horse breeding method on Xupingzhuang. This matter is more important than the previous one and involves more extensively.

Zhang Shixun first said: "In recent years, horse politics has been worse than one year. The horse prisons of all walks of life not only have difficulties, but few horses are suitable for military use. Two horse prisons were spent on Hebei Road because the horse supervision under his rule was useless, so he spent two horse prisons to farm for farmers as farmland. If this continues, the horse prisons will be abandoned in a few years. How can the horses needed by the imperial guards rely solely on horses from the northwest market? We must think of a good method."

Wang Deyong, who has never spoken, said: "According to what Xu Ping's memorial, it is a new way to breed thousands of mares with a small number of excellent horses. He is good at raising good horses in Zhongmu Zhuangzi, and the capital is well-known. This method should not be aimless. With the good method of raising horses, the horse supervision can maintain it."

Lu Yijian said: "I have heard of good horses coming out of Xuping Village. However, Wang Taiwei, have you seen the horses in his village? Is it really suitable for military use? The horses used by the imperial guards cannot be used casually."

"I have seen that many of them are good horses in the army, and they are no less than the foreign horses sold from the northwest."

After hearing this, Zhang Shixun turned to ask Xu Ping: "Your method is mainly based on excellent stallions. To be honest, is good stallions so important for raising good horses? In the northern desert grassland, I have never heard that they should pick up good stallions first when choosing good horses, just let the horses raise them naturally."

Xu Ping sighed secretly. Now he has only a vague understanding of genetics, and has not yet risen to the level of rationality. It is not natural for good father and mother to be needed for good offspring. It is precisely because of the lack of a clear understanding of this that he has doubts about the role of the new horse breeding method.

"The Grand Marshal of the Shumi often says that if you get melons, you get melons, and if you get beans, you also say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the sons of rats can dig holes. Why? What are the descendants like? They all come from their parents, and they are not lucky. Although no one chooses good horses in the desert grassland, every horse has only one horse. This horse must be the most majestic and strongest, and can defeat other stallions and run away. They are born to choose the best stallions themselves. Therefore, among the wild horses, the more numerous the horses there are, the easier it is to produce good horses. This is the reason. Horses are all small groups of horses, so where are there so many good stallions fighting and competing? Naturally, one generation is worse than the other."

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Zhang Shixun turned to ask Wang Deyong: "Wang Taiwei has been in the army for a long time and is familiar with the habits of horses. Is there really such a thing in the horse herd?"

Wang Deyong said: "The horses in the herd must be excellent, which can intimidate other stallions and make all mares obey. Xu Wai-chi's statement is indeed good."

In the natural selection, wild horses on the grassland can naturally select excellent horses through natural selection, so that horse breeds can be improved from generation to generation. However, horses raised by artificially raising do not have this condition, and can only make up for this shortcoming by artificial means. Of course, the characteristics of natural selection are not necessarily what humans want, but only horses in order to continue the reproduction of the race. From this point of view, manual selection is more conducive to selecting horses that suit human needs.

Wang Deyong joined the army when he was young, and no one was more familiar with horses than him. Since he said that this method was useful, it was useful. So he stopped discussing this issue and instead discussed how to promote the new horse breeding method.

Mei Xun held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister, I am in the Bachelor's Academy, and the affairs of the Maid Department are usually difficult to take care of. Now, except for Wei Chen, there is only one Maid judge, Han Ju, who is short of staff. If you want to promote the new horse breeding method, you should increase the staff first."

Speaking of this, Mei Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am Ci Chen, and I am really unable to catch these things."

After hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but look at Mei Xun curiously. Unexpectedly, he was honest and didn't want to do it, so he said it directly. The court found someone else to do it. Then he thought, where is the status of the Hanlin bachelor's degree? There is no benefit in this fact. Of course, he has to push it out if he has the opportunity to refuse. Why take it in his hands and cause trouble for himself?

Seeing that the rest of the people were not talking, Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, the new law has been pushed out, and it is indeed a lot of business, not just breeding horses. The groupings of horses, horse sheds and grasses, etc. are different from before, and the manpower must be increased. Dr. Taichang Wang Su returned to Beijing after serving as the Tongzong of Xuzhou and has been idle. I recommend him as the judge of the group. Wang Su came from a famous family and worked in detail. He had shown his talents before and had shown his talents in the local area. He would definitely be able to do this."

Zhao Zhen naturally knew that Wang Su, the former prime minister's precious son, had never been properly sent to Wang Su. As soon as Xu Ping finished speaking, Zhao Zhen looked at the prime minister present.

I saw Lu Yijian looking at his nose and his nose, and he remained silent as if he hadn't heard it. Zhang Shixun on the other side looked at Xu Ping deeply, then held his breath and closed his mouth.

Wang Su's court was full of relatives. If something happened, someone would help him. At this time, they had to avoid it, so no one would talk to him. Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun were even close relatives and definitely did not dare to speak.

Wang Zeng coughed lightly and said to Zhao Zhen: "I think it's OK, but Wang Su should be competent."

Li Zi also said on the other side: "I will discuss it."

Wang Deyong was a military general, and he was silent at this time and never participated in the appointment of officials from the court.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to look at Hanlin scholar Yan Shu and Mei Xun. The two of them thought for a while and said together: "I'm asking."

"That's it, let Wang Su be the judge of the group herds." Zhao Zhen nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, "But just adding one group herds judge is still not very capable."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Ping: "Xu Ping, can this method really improve the Ma Zheng? The major affairs of the court cannot tolerate any luck, so you must be sure to get it right!"

What could Xu Ping say? He had to hold the scepter and answered respectfully: "Reply to Your Majesty, it must be possible based on the horses raised by Weichen's own farm. And in theory, things should be like this, and there will be no mistakes!"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Okay, you have always been steady in your work, and I think you will not be wrong."

Turning his head, Zhao Zhen leaned forward after the case, looked at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "I think it's not enough to add a group herder judge for such a major matter. How about appointing a deputy envoy to the group herder?"

Under normal circumstances, the deputy envoy of the group herds and the group herds are not set up together. With Mei Xun as the group herds, according to the convention, there is no need to set up the deputy envoy of the group herds. Now Zhao Zhen proposes to set up the deputy envoy of the group herds, so the official position of the group herds and the rule will be emptied. Unless he is changed to the group herds and the rule will be followed. However, the group herds and the group herds and the level of Mei Xun is lowered again.

More importantly, looking at Zhao Zhen’s appearance, I’m afraid that there is a candidate in my heart.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Enzhou Assassin, Li Yonghe, a businessman in the Imperial City Company, is steady and reliable. I think he is the deputy envoy of the group herders. What do you think?" To be continued.
