Chapter 298 The Difference Between Horse Breeds
Guaizi Zhang ran over in a hurry, kicked Shang Ren directly, and cursed angrily, "I've blinded you, this is our grown-up here, how can he still be greedy for your gourd?"
Shangren felt pain, looked at the people around him, and had no choice but to take out the gourd hidden in his arms.
The gourd was all dark purple, with a faint flash of light. Yang Qian took the gourd and suddenly felt that his palm was unusually smooth.
"Huh? Do you have wine in it?"
"No, no, there's beeswax on the plug, it's still brand new after hundreds of years."
Yang Gan weighed the gourd with a sly expression. It was only the size of an ordinary gourd, so why was it so heavy? It weighed at least twenty kilograms.
Guaizi Zhang advised, "Sir, this gourd is very strange. It is obviously empty inside, but it is extremely heavy. I feel that this gourd looks like gold but not gold, iron but not iron, and not like wood. I am afraid it is a scam."
If nothing else, Yang Qian was quite interested in this wine gourd. It felt like he had encountered a love for handicrafts during his previous travels.
"Ten gold is unrealistic. If you sell it, no one will buy it until next year. Just tell me what you want?"
Shangren looked at the wine gourd in Yang Qian's hand and swallowed. He probably thought that if he wasn't going to come back, he might as well ask for some benefits.
"Actually, I want money. I just want to buy some land, build a house, get some slaves, buy some cows, and live a good life."
"She looks pretty ugly, but she thinks she's pretty."
"Hahaha, we don't have slaves in Yuntong City now, and the land cannot be bought or sold. It can only be sold to the government, or bought from the government."
Shang Ren was dumbfounded. How could he do this? The landlord originally wanted to live in peace and stability.
"Can you read?"
"Literacy and literacy."
"Okay, since you don't want to farm and want to live a good life, work with me. The jade pendant and gourd will be mine."
Shang Ren immediately became anxious, "Why is it so expensive to do something with you?"
The kidnapper Zhang said enviously, "Follow the adults, I hope your life will be good, you will not be hungry in the future, and you can make a lot of money."
"Who are you?" Shang Ren asked uncertainly.
"I will not change my name in business, but I will not change my surname in office. I am the governor of Yuntong County, Yang Qian."
"Ah? You are the murderer..."
"I'll give you a chance to organize your language again."
Shangren realized that he had made a mistake and immediately stopped talking.
Yang Qian handed the gourd to Guaizi Zhang and said, "Fill the gourd with wine for me."
"Hey, sir, what kind of drink do you want?"
"Nonsense, of course it's your family's rice wine. In the whole city, if your family's wine is second to none, no one would dare to recognize it as the first. It's so sweet."
"Okay~~~!" Guaizi Zhang immediately walked inside with the gourd in both hands, but he didn't expect the wine gourd to be so heavy that he almost broke his back.
I took off the beeswax and poured it with water three times in a row. I saw that it was very clean inside and there was no dirt at all. But the beeswax was dark, so it must have been a long time.
After pouring the wine, Guaizi Zhang said, "Sir, you should take it easy. This gourd is very strange and extremely heavy. I almost lost my waist."
Looking at the newly wrapped rope on the gourd, Yang Gan picked it up with one finger amid everyone's surprise.
Compared with other things, wine is not expensive, and Yang Qian pays for it directly on the spot.
"Guaizi Zhang, bring a jar of wine to my mansion, and transport several carts of millet wine to my farm. The corn wine brewed in my farm won't be as good as yours."
The kidnapper Zhang Xi smiled broadly

He weighed the money and said, "Sir, the wine in the gourd will be given to you."
"Hey, do you want me to break the rules I have set?"
The kidnapper patted his head and said, "I almost forgot. No wonder."
Yang Gan smiled, bought some more small items for Ran Jing to take, and then walked towards the mansion.
Several young masters who were wandering on the street happened to see this scene. They were very curious and asked a young man in surprise, "Young Master Guang, this, is this the governor of your Yuntong County?"
"That's right."
"Is it that Commander Yang who wiped out three tribes and guarded the border by himself?"
Young Master Guang smiled and said, "Of course, my father has a very good relationship with Commander Yang."
"It's a strange thing in the world that a county guard actually goes to the street to buy things and eats cakes on the street. He simply doesn't understand etiquette."
Young Master Guang's face gradually faded, and he said seriously, "I can tell you, if you are said bad things about the governor in Yuntong County, and if someone hears it, the consequences will be very serious."
A young young man laughed and said, "How serious it is. My father is working under the Prime Minister, and he is just a county guard..."
Suddenly, hundreds of people around them looked at them fiercely, and the young master suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
The companions were not stupid and suddenly shut up. If there was any conflict, there were only three or four of them. If these hundreds of people came together, they would be beaten to death.
The young master quietly moved back a few steps to avoid starting a fight and damaging the fish in the pond.
"Let's go, let's not stay here for a long time~~~!" After half a minute of stalemate, several dudes couldn't bear it anymore and could only leave in despair.
The sense of oppression is really too strong.
Mansion.
Yang Qian kept checking the black horses in his stable. They were as shiny as if they were painted. After looking at them for a long time, he couldn't help but touch them.
Ran Jing also kept attacking horses. Although he didn't understand horses, he could still read them. Just like in the previous life, you didn't understand Lamborghini, its price, or its performance.
But there is one thing that can be seen at a glance, that is, it is expensive.
"Do you want it?" Seeing Ran Jing's expression, Yang Gan smiled.
Ran Jing nodded, "Of course I do. This is the first time I've seen such a good and tall war horse."
Yang Gan thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. One for me, one for you, and the rest will be used for breeding. If this kind of horse can be bred, the combat effectiveness of our cavalry can at least be doubled."
"Sir, this kind of horse can't be bred if you want to, right?"
"Hey, it's okay if it's less. Look at the big and small generals at the border. I always have to give it to them. If it's less, it's just a gift. You're lucky today and get the first prize."
The more Yang Gan looked at these five horses, the more he liked them. He immediately took out a saddle from the warehouse and tied it to the largest horse among them, touching its neck.
I saw the previously unruly war horse, and immediately stepped back in fear, but was caught by him, unable to move at all.
"Ran Jing, let's go horse riding outside the city. How about we go riding?"
"good!"
Although it was almost dark, Ran Jing would never refuse Yang Qian. The two gradually got along with each other, and Ran Jing would never refuse Yang Qian's request.
On the first day when Yang Gan led the army, he focused on training officers and soldiers. Soldiers must take obedience to orders as their bounden duty. Generals can have the opportunity to ask questions and they can explain themselves. If it is inconvenient to explain, they do not have to answer.
The horses the Huns rode came from
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The horse on the grassland has a height of 120 cm to 135 cm and a weight of 267 kg to 370 kg. It is a small and medium-sized horse breed. It does not run very fast, is not strong enough, has long legs and short hooves, which makes its appearance look rather rustic and very... Not on camera.
But on the other hand, this kind of horse has strong limbs, strong adaptability and endurance. It is far superior to the Western war horse that looks like a horse. It can march 120 miles in four hours a day, and can continue for many days without lowering its standard. .
And it can eat very bad feed without getting sick. After a little training, it can be calm and deceitful on the battlefield, and it is extremely brave!
Therefore, although it is not a good race horse, it is a first-class war horse, especially suitable for light cavalry.
Nowadays, most of the cavalry in the frontier army are equipped with this kind of prairie horse.
While riding the war horse, another set of data emerged in Yang Gan's mind.
Hequ horses have an average body height of 132 cm to 139 cm and a weight of 350 kg to 450 kg.
The body is larger than the prairie horse and has a stronger load-bearing capacity, but the endurance is slightly less. It can generally travel a hundred miles a day. This kind of war horse is suitable for short-distance heavy cavalry acceleration. Only with this kind of physique can it carry the armor and heavy cavalry. Armor.
But the war horse under Yang Gan is over 180 centimeters tall. In terms of body shape, both explosive power and endurance are top-notch. This body shape is already comparable to European heavy draft horses.
We must know that few horses native to the Central Plains are over 1.5 meters tall, so Yang Gan seriously suspected that these five horses were genetic mutations.
Moreover, they were smuggled here. Otherwise, if they were to change places, as the King of Liao Kingdom, they would never let these five war horses be resold abroad.
The two of them rode tall war horses, and the rate of turning heads on the streets was astonishingly 100%. Some wealthy people even began to inquire about the origin of such horses.
After walking out of the city gate, the two of them ran wildly on the official road and on the land of the outer city. After all, they were both leading troops in war, and their riding skills were among the best.
According to Yang Gan's requirements, all the border troops are Polu troops, and all need to receive cavalry training. The Xuanjia cavalry are the elite among the elite.
Anyone who is a member of the Black Armor Cavalry must learn the endurance to run thousands of miles. If all the mounts of the Black Armor Cavalry can be made into war horses with a height of 170 cm to 180 cm, the speed and endurance will definitely increase a lot. .
The sun gradually went down, and blazing clouds ignited in the sky, dyeing most of the sky red.
The two of them galloped wantonly outside the city. The war horse was a little awkward at first, but after being beaten a few times by Yang Gan, it immediately became more honest.
The long mane swayed in the wind, and even when passing by many Guizhou heads, they only felt a black mountain lightning flashing past, and then their faces were confused and messy in the wind.
After running wildly for half an hour, the two began to walk slowly towards the city. Yang Gan took out the wine gourd from the saddle and drank a few sips of wine.
"Hahaha, so happy, this is life."
It is one of the great joys in life to wear bright clothes and angry horses, and drink immediately.
After returning to the mansion and setting up the two horses, Yang Gan specifically ordered his servants to take good care of the two horses and feed them fine food. There must be no mistakes.
After the sun went down, Yang Gan squatted at the door of the inner hall and kept drinking.
After taking a few sips, he started to wonder, "It's strange. The millet wine produced by Guaizizhang before was not so delicious. Why put it in the gourd? It seems to taste a lot sweeter, and even the bitterness is gone."
Ran Jing came over with a bowl of rice, "Master, where are they?"
"Huh, I saw them go out and don't want to come back." Yang Gan was not in a very pretty mood.
