The Dong family is a powerful man in Lintao. Although they are not as good as those aristocratic families, they also have more than a thousand private soldiers and slaves.

Most of these private soldiers lived in the Dong family for generations, and were even more loyal to the Dong family.

The entire Dong family's private soldiers were divided into two parts in total. Some of them were dispatched by Dong Zhuo, and many of them were met by Dong Zhuo when he was traveling northwest. No one except Dong Zhuo could control them.

The other part is composed of private soldiers from the Dong family and Baihao Qiang. Among them, the Qiang people were the dowry brought from the tribe by Mrs. Dong when she married Dong Zhuo. This part of the private soldiers was naturally controlled by Mrs. Dong, and Dong Zhuo had no choice.

Later, Mrs. Dong divided her private soldiers into three parts and presented them to the three sisters Dong Yu.

Dong Zhao has a gentle temperament and does not like fighting and killing, so after getting married with Niu Fu, she gave her private soldiers to Dong Yuan. This also led to Dong Yuan becoming the most powerful person in the Dong family except Dong Zhuo and his wife.

Of course, this does not include the old lady.

In fact, even Dong Qi, who is with the old lady every day, cannot figure out what power the old lady has. However, he could guess that the old lady's power will not be less powerful than Mrs. Dong, and it is even stronger.

Since childhood, Dong Yuan has never dared to stare at her due to the love between Dong Zhuo and his wife and the old lady.

Even after getting married, although Li Ru was the most capable strategist under Dong Zhuo, she did not dare to hang out with her.

This naturally developed Dong Yuan's willful personality.

As for Dong Qi, although it is ugly, Dong Yuan knows that this younger brother actually has a gentleness that is irresistible to women.

It has been ten years since Dong Yuan has never seen Dong Qi grit his teeth because of something. But unexpectedly, when he got angry, Dong Yuan, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, felt an indescribable palpitations. This feeling only occurs when facing his father Dong Zhuo.

Subconsciously, Dong Yuan immediately called the generals of the family.

Take out a piece of tiger-headed talisman made of black jade from your arms, "Immediately gather people and sweep the branch of the Taiping Road in Lintao. The two leaders must not be let go. If anyone dares to stop them, they will be killed without any explanation. Do you understand?"

"Here!"

The general immediately left with a horse and whip. Dong Yuan looked at Dong Qi again and found that he had become the dull look he had before.

Why should I listen to him? Why should I be afraid of him?

Dong Yuan suddenly felt extremely angry, and immediately stepped forward, grabbed Dong Qi's ear and cursed: "Damn Ah Chou, you dare to bare your teeth with me."

Dong Qi screamed and reached out to block it.

He didn't use any strength. But he didn't think about it. He could dance a 150-pound sledge hammer and pull out a three-stone hard bow. Even if he pushed it lightly, how could Dong Yuan bear it? What's more, Dong Yuan was also joking.

"ah……"

Dong Yuan almost fell down from the horse. Fortunately, Dong Yu quickly looked and held Dong Yuan.

"A Chou, why are you going crazy?"

Dong Qi blushed and scratched his head and said, "I didn't mean it. I was just thinking about things just now, but I didn't expect...ah, I remembered it."

In fact, since Dong Qi owned the first war horse of his own, he felt that something was missing. This feeling became more and more profound whenever he rode a horse. Dong Yuan's pinch reminded him of this.

Stirrup...

The legendary stirrup. Didn’t those novels say that there was no stirrup during the Three Kingdoms period? By the way, there is also horseshoe, and it seems that it has never appeared. Dong Qi was not very impressed with stirrups, and he was not very clear about the appearance of the horseshoe. After all, in his previous life, riding a horse was already very rare, let alone in the mountains.

"Luyi, do we have craftsmen in our family?"

"artisan?"

"Yeah, it's the blacksmith."

Dong Yuan was already on the horse at this time. When she heard Dong Qi’s question, she said, “Of course there is. Otherwise, how would we cast those armors in our family? How did you think your pair of sledgehammers were made? It wasn’t my grandmother’s order to craftsmen to build them.”

Dong Qi nodded, "Sister Four, can you find two craftsmen after you pick the horse and go home?"

"What's the difficulty? What are you going to build?"

Dong Qi was in a very happy mood, "Well... the mountain man has his own tricks."

"Shanren, you big-headed ghost!"

However, Dong Yu stared at Dong Qi with a very strange look, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Dong Qi did not notice Dong Yu's gaze, and sat on the horse and smiled out of the city. To be honest, among all the novels he had read, stirrups and horseshoes seemed to be just insignificant changes. What are crossbows and siege cars? Whenever he thought of those time travelers knowing that, Dong Qi felt extremely envious.

Unfortunately, he doesn't understand the method of crossbows and steel frying methods at all.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. Even slight changes such as stirrups and horseshoes will make him happy.

This is a small step for him, but perhaps a big step for history.

Unfortunately, when he was in middle school, the teacher never said anything about dipping the fire. After graduating from junior high school, he became a forest ranger and didn’t even know the door of the university was opened there. Sometimes I really admire him. High school and college people are so awesome. Not everyone in science and engineering knows how to dip the fire. If he also went to college back then, haha...

*******

Since the Dong family is a powerful man in Lintao, they naturally occupy a large piece of land.

Located at the junction of Lintao and Qiang people's residential areas, there is a vast pasture that belongs to the Dong family's property.

Originally, the old Dong family's pasture was not that big, but Baihao Qiang migrated and gave their best land to Dong Zhuo before leaving. This also made the Dong family's pasture span two large pieces of land, Lintao and Qiang people's residential areas, ranking first in the local pastures.

As soon as he entered the ranch, Dong could see herds of horses wandering in the ranch.

Of course, there are grazers who are guarding each other, and tall shepherds follow the horses.

Dong Qi likes dogs. When he was a forest ranger in his previous life, he once kept one, but later he was killed by a stealer.

After coming to this era, Dong Qi did not change his preferences.

But the old lady doesn't like dogs and likes purity. So much so that he can't raise a dog when he lives with the old lady. But even so, when he has the chance to come to the ranch, he still teases the shepherds.

Speaking of which, Dong Qi is famous for his dog training skills.

"Sister Four, have you asked someone to do what I told you last time?" Dong Qi stopped horses and asked.

Dong Yuan was stunned, "What's the matter?"

"Sure enough!" Dong Qi slapped his forehead and said distressedly: "I didn't tell you that our ranch is too big, so it's best to get some walls and fences and set up some Diao Douwang Towers. This is located in the area where the Qiang and Han live together, and the relationship is very complicated. My father's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable that some sluts will peek at us, which is also considered as prepared for any trouble."

"I, I forgot!"

Dong Yuzong immediately stepped forward and said, "A Chou, do you want to build a city here?"

Dong Qi shook his head and replied: "Of course not... it is troublesome to build a city, and it will cause misunderstandings among the Qiang people. There will be many things. I mean to set up a village here, which can face Lintao's horns, and it can also be regarded as protecting our family's industry."
