"Also, I want to raise horses in the future, so of course I can't make the stables look like this." Shao Xun added.

There are two ways to raise horses. One is to raise horses on pasture; the other is to keep horses in stables, which are "parallel horses that die in stables".

To put it bluntly, it means keeping horses in captivity and letting them out for exercise regularly, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the horse.

This method of raising horses is very popular in areas lacking large areas of grassland, and is a desperate alternative.

This was the case for the Nanzhao Kingdom in later generations.

The horses in Dianchi Lake and Yongchang are left in the wild and are not placed in stables.

Another few hundred Yuezu horses (Tengchong horses) were selected and sent to Dali. They were fed with rice porridge juice within three years. They were slightly older in four or five years and only matured in six or seven years. The horses fed in this way had high tails and were especially good at galloping.

Stable horses can be carefully managed and fed with grain, so the horses are of high quality.

When charging head-on, the wild horses can be dashed to pieces.

The cost is also really high. A horse eats at least three times as much food as a human. Shao Xun does not have such luxury for the time being.

But raising horses is a must.

Even if you don't form a cavalry unit, there are many other uses for horses.

A scout would need to take several horses out.

When setting up camp at night, a few horses should also be prepared in the dark bunk set far away, so that when the enemy is attacked at night, they can return to camp in time - change the horses so that they have enough horsepower to run at high speed and send back the news.

.

The battlefield messenger requires horses.

A small group harasses the enemy's rangers.

The baggage troops must draw horses or other draft animals.

Mid-level and senior officers should prepare several horses. One is for charging on the battlefield. When the horse power is insufficient, they can directly jump on the back of another empty horse and continue fighting. The other is to have horses to switch with when escaping to maintain high speed.

The personal soldiers of high-ranking officers also want horses, and more than one.

Pure infantry units are also equipped with a large number of horses.

"Fourth, build livestock pens near the farmland for convenience. If thieves come to attack, they can be moved again."

Shao Xun said several more things in one breath, finally clearing out the little inventory in his belly.

After Jin San finished recording, he showed it to Shao Xun for review. After making sure it was correct, he carefully put it away.

"If you have good ideas, you can also propose them. After they are verified to be effective, rewards will be issued." Shao Xun added.

After the writing is formed, it can even be collected into a book, copied and disseminated in the Wubao or manor under your own name, mainly for the owners of Wubao and farm plans who participate in actual management.

If other Wubao or farms have unique agricultural technologies, they can also be exchanged with each other.

He never dared to underestimate the manors of those wealthy families.

They have been managing for many years, some of them for several generations. In the long-term agricultural practice, it is impossible not to sum up experience. The key is that they cherish their own business and are unwilling to disclose it to outsiders.

This is similar to the so-called general family.

The knowledge of marching and fighting was only circulated within the family, and there was even a military book compiled by the family, which was kept secret and not disclosed to the outside world.

This is the foundation of the so-called aristocratic family.

If they were willing to share with each other, they would be able to greatly speed up the spread of knowledge, but no one is willing to do this.

When did flowering steamed buns become popular among the people?

Shao Xun was not from a wealthy family, but his heritage came from later generations and was very profound. In some specific fields, he alone was worth the accumulated knowledge of several generations of the tens of thousands of people in a wealthy family's estate.

His Wubao will not be worse than others, and it can even be run better.

This is his confidence.
