A basket of carrots seduced nine sweat-blooded horses back. This incident swept across Xianyang like a tornado, and soon spread throughout Guanzhong with the coming and going business trips. In more than a month, this incident will spread to the Qin Dynasty and even the four barbarians with the newspapers.

Two days later, Han Xin, who had been seeing the dragon, didn't know where to run back to Qinghe Villa to ask about it. After learning that Chen Xu gave all eight horses that were hard to buy to Fusu, Meng Yun and others, he regretted that he fell and stamped his chest.

"How can I blame me? You don't go home all day long, I almost forgot you!" Chen Xu said while drinking tea without a smile.

"Oh, I regret it, I shouldn't have followed a group of guys from the Ministry of War to inspect the Liyang Arsenal!" Han Xin kept pulling his hair regretfully.

"Okay, OK, the yellow horse you are riding is also a rare horse of the Huns. It was sent to me by the King of Dai last year in autumn. Moreover, this sweat-blooded BMW has a strong temper and is very labor-intensive and it costs a lot of material to feed it on weekdays. It costs at least 50,000 yuan a year to raise one, and there is no other use except riding the cool wind. If you like it, go and discuss it with Yu Ji first, and let her lend you the black horse to ride for a while in a few days..."

"Hehe, brother, why don't you say it earlier?" Before Chen Xu finished speaking, Han Xin ran away. Soon after, Yu Ji pouted and hurried to find Chen Xu, saying that Brother Xin had Chen Xu's consent to ride the black horse away.

"Don't worry, he will send it back to you later..."

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, he saw a manager running in from outside and reporting: "Mr. Marquis, the second master was just thrown into the field ditch by a black man at the door!"

"Did you get injured?" Chen Xu stood up and asked anxiously.

"It seems... no, the second master got up by himself!"

"That's good, where is the black man? Running?"

"Uh, Wu Zhi didn't run away, he went to the vegetable garden to find carrots!" The manager replied with a strange expression.

"Let's go and have a look!" Chen Xu walked out of the living room, Yu Ji followed him. As soon as the manager walked into the yard, they saw Han Xin limping in with a dirt face.

"Brother, this black man has a very violent temper. I was thrown off as soon as I got on the horse!" Han Xin said with a wry smile, shook his head and rubbed his arms and calves.

"I'm so irritable. You ran away before I finished speaking. This Dayuan horse is a wild horse. It's wild and hard to tame the temper. Strangers cannot get close to each other. Otherwise, those Dayuan merchants would have bets with me for such a big battle. If they didn't have carrots, I wouldn't have won any of these horses back!" Chen Xu was amused and crying.

"Oh, forget it, this horse will have to be kept for a while!"

Han Xin went back to the room to wash and change clothes dejectedly. Chen Xu took Yu Ji to the vegetable garden. Sure enough, he saw that Wu Qi had found a piece of planted carrot and was eating happily.

Horses love to eat carrots, which Chen Xu discovered in the winter of the past year. In fact, not only horses, but also giant pandas on the two ends like to eat carrots. Therefore, last year, Chen Xu began to plant carrots on a large scale. Not only greenhouses, but also specially opened several acres of land to sow seeds in the vegetable garden.

Carrots contain a variety of vitamins and a large amount of carotene, which is a highly nutritious vegetable highly praised by nutritionists in later generations. In order to increase nutrition for several pregnant wives, carrots are also made in different ways, such as stir-fried carrot meat, stewed carrot chicken, stewed carrot pork ribs, cold-smoked carrot shredded carrots, carrot juice to make steamed buns, carrot porridge, and this sweet vegetable has also been unanimously loved by everyone. Chen Xu will eat one raw if he has nothing to do.

The vegetable carrot itself is produced in Central Asia, which happens to be in Dayuan Daxia. Therefore, it is inevitable that Dayuan horses eat wild carrots.

Along the way, I ate and hungry and stayed away from my hometown for thousands of miles, but I didn't expect that I could still eat the taste of my hometown. For these Dayuan horses, Chen Xu was simply their savior. A crisp and tender carrot directly destroyed their most stubborn and wild and strong will.

At present, Wu Zhi found that the new owner had planted a large area of ​​fresh and delicious carrots, so he decided not to leave and stayed honestly as a mount. Of course, the premise was to give the carrots.

Just now, a guy came over and put a saddle and stirrup on him. Because he didn't give him a carrot, he was thrown into the wheat field. However, because he was in a good mood these two days, he didn't kick him.

"Mr. Marquis, this black man can't just eat carrots, right?" A middle-aged man in a long blue gown came over and said with a little worried.

"No, Wuzhi is almost the same as a hungry ghost now. The food is out of food for too long. You need to have a good meal to satisfy your cravings. It will definitely be fine after a few days. You can feed them well on weekdays and put together a few young mares sent by Donghu from the Western Regions in the mansion with it. Maybe next year, you will get a few docile good horses. This Wuzhi has too strong temper and I am afraid that Yu Ji will not be able to control it!"

"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I will definitely take good care of the black man!" The middle-aged man quickly bowed.

The middle-aged man in blue shirt is named Wang Xun. He is a famous Xiangma scholar with a famous reputation in Xianyang. His ancestral home is Zhao State. I heard that his ancestors were also an awesome figure in the Xiangma world of Bole Jiufanglu, and his name is Wang Liang.

In the "Lüshi Chunqiu" written by Lu Buwei organized thousands of disciples, the reading table lists many celebrities in the Xiangma world from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and all kinds of schools are listed. Only Wang Liang of Zhao, Bole of Qin, and Jiufangliu are the most respected. This shows that these people have real skills.

During this period, Chen Xu also took the time to make up for the knowledge of horse training and horse raising, and also learned about the most famous figures in the Xianyang horse industry. He has indeed heard of Wang Xun, and even Meng Yun and others highly praised it.

Wang Xun claimed that his ancestor was Wang Liang. Although no one knew whether it was boasting, he was indeed very famous in the horse-eye world in Xianyang. Any good horse that he nodded and confirmed would immediately double its value. Therefore, Wang Xun was the guest of all the horse merchants in Xianyang. It would cost thousands of dollars to ask for it once. Moreover, if it were not for a real good horse, Wang Xun would not even bother to come forward, so he would give him a face.

Famous celebrities and low-ranking merchants are still incomparable in the current status of the Great Qin Dynasty.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Chinese civilization flourished and flourished, thus giving birth to a hundred schools of thought, and the Xiangma School was one of them. In this era when horses were equal to later automobiles, horse training and horse raising was an extremely huge market and industry.

Nowadays, with the increasing prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, the population is also growing explosively. At least 100,000 horses were introduced into the Central Plains from the Western Regions of Liang in the Liao Dynasty and other places in the Liao Dynasty. These horses were grazed in free-range grasslands outside the pass, and even had to grazed with wild horses in order to get good horse breeds. Moreover, the Hu people never set up horses and kept them naked. When they became adults, they would arrange for horse-setting masters to wave poles to chase and capture, and this custom is still the case after thousands of years.

You are majestic and mighty,

The speeding horse is like a storm,

The endless wilderness will wander with you,

Your heart is as broad as the earth

...

Every time I think of the galloping horses and herdsmen on the grassland outside the pass, this divine song will appear in Chen Xu's mind like a demon.

It is precisely because with the rise of the Qin Dynasty, the market for horses has become larger and larger, so the identities of Wang Xun, such as the famous horse masters, have become more and more popular. In the past, they may not have found a good job and live on the streets, but in recent years they have become high-end people, including Jiufangkui and Yangzao who I saw a few days ago. In the period of the seven countries' melee more than ten years ago, they belonged to the class that could not even eat enough.

Wang Xun was famous and also had a strong interest in Dayuan horses. Two days ago, he came to visit Chen Xu with Jiufangkui and Yangzao, a group of famous horses in Xianyang, and asked about the details of Dayuan horses. While he also wanted to get Chen Xu's support. Many people wanted to go to Dayuan to see Western horses and even wild horses.

All the good horses in the world were initially rebellious wild horses, while all the docile horses that have been reproduced and crossed through countless generations of human beings are almost ordinary.

There is an unwritten tradition in the world of horses, that is, only a real good horse can be found in wild horses, and a real good horse has another characteristic, that is, a bad temper is generally not for people to ride, so it will be disliked, because all people who use horses hope that their horses are gentle, eat less, run faster, and be durable. Therefore, many good horses in the world will actually be sold by their owners because of bad tempers. This is why there are many horses that are often found in thousands of miles and those that are not often found in Bole.

Chen Xu was quite enthusiastic about a group of famous horse-spectral scholars in Xianyang. He led Wuzhi to them for careful observation and discussion, and told them that he was preparing to write a letter to the emperor to open a Tianshan ranch in the Western Regions, preparing to introduce sweat-blooded BMWs, Donghu horses, Xiongnu horses and Yuezhi Wusun horses to cross them, and cultivate a new horse breed that is resistant to cold, heat, hunger, thirst, and long-term speed, to provide better mounts for the army and the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Xu's words made a group of famous horse celebrities excited, and they all said that once this plan was implemented, they would definitely join in and go to the Western Regions of the Donghu and Xiongnu and Dayuan to find the best horse breeds. Wang Xun expressed his willingness to stay in the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion to help take care of this black horse and find out the temperament of the Dayuan horse in advance.

Chen Xu was reluctant to ask for Wang Xun's request. It is not easy to find a good groom at the moment. For a sweat-blooded BMW like Wu Zhi, an ordinary good groom is not good. He must be a top groom who is very familiar with horses. Wang Xun is such a person who is hard to find in the world.

Chen Xu offered Wang Xun a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan. This salary was optional for Wang Xun, but he was willing to do so.
