Gao Yue's request to set up the Mafang location is actually very meaningful. Wei Gao from Fengyang is his relatives, Zhu Li's Yingtian judge in Longzhou, and he is also an ally in the military palace. Needless to mention the Lingtai under his jurisdiction, it is an excellent place for half-agricultural and semi-animal Husbandry. It is not pleasant to repair the military and armored warriors while repairing the armies and preparing armored warriors? The other two places, one is located in Purun, of course, to take care of the emperor's Shence Army system, and the one located under Changwu City is to consider Li Huaiguang's emotions.

In this way, Simafang actually takes care of all interests in balance.

But why did Gao Yue build a "Ma Fang" instead of "supervising the herdsmen"?

Nonsense, Mafang is a place to accept the forbidden horses. The effect I, Gao Yue, wanted is of course: the emperor's forbidden horses are sent to me for raising them, rather than sending horses to the emperor.

Therefore, Gao Yue mentioned the key issue in his memorial. Now the court spends a lot of money to buy horses from the Uighurs every year, but the results are very small. The crux of the problem is not "no horses", but poor management. In the gardens of the imperial palace, most of the people hired to grow rice, wheat, fruit trees, and not those who are good at raising horses. Moreover, the capital of Guanzhong is densely populated, and most of the land has been designated as farmland, which is not conducive to breeding war horses. The habit of war horses is to eat more feed, drink more water, eat salt, and drive it to the green. Now in the Feilong Stable in the capital, there is no stretch, and when there is a disease, it will be transmitted to each other, and six or seven deaths per year. What I said is, "Qishan (Fengxiang) is near the dian, Lingtai Ze, Changwuling sweet, and Liyang is cold late, all have the beauty of abundant soil and grass, and there is no risk of horses and narrow land..."

As for the policy of horse fang, Gao Yue suggested that the "fangtian" and "fangtian" be separated. Now the western region is vast and sparsely populated. Choose fertile land as "fangtian" and the land of abundant water and grass as "fangtian" - for example, in Lingtai County, we can use military military farming to exchange land for the land - and give the 200 hectares of military farming that have been well-irrigated and have been buried to 300 Lingtai households to cultivate concentratedly, and do not collect their hukou rice. As long as the civil servants are allowed to reclaim an additional 120 hectares of good land as "fangtian". The fangtian only has the millet and beans eaten by the horses. If interplanted, at least nine dou of millet and beans per mu can be harvested, and the fangtian can be harvested in total for 11,000 stones per year.

Horses can be raised in horses. After April 10th, every year, you can "stop the feed and put them in the wild" (that is, you don't have to tie the horses to raise them, but grazing them in the wild and eating grass freely), so that they can go to the "farm" that is surrounded by a circle. As for returning to the stable on October 10th, it only takes half a year to supply horses and eat millet.

According to one hundred and eighty days of calculation in half a year, each horse needs to eat a dou of millet every day, and a total of 18 stones are required for half a year. If you are careful, you can "feed two and one left" (keep one third of the corn as reserved grain), and then a total of 27 stones are required.

Then the fields and fields of my Lingtai can be enough to shepherd four hundred forbidden horses.

In addition, if the horses in the Feilong Stable in the Forbidden Garden in the Capital include "tired, old, sick, barren, and unsupported", they can also be sent to the horse house. I ask the girl who is close to me to treat them well, which can also turn waste into treasure.

In this way, the court and the local government benefit, why not?

However, Gao Yue also specifically mentioned that in addition to a bucket of corn every day, he also needs six spoons of salt. If he raises 400 horses, he will also ask the branch office to allocate an appropriate amount of "Mafang salt" every year.

At the end of the memorial, Gao Yue made the significance of setting up a horse house very important, saying that "the land affairs, Kong Zhao, the army is well prepared, and if there is a horse like this, why worry about Rong?"

After reading it, the emperor was very interested, so he found Bai Zhizhen, who specialized in managing the Shence Army, and asked him about his views on this matter.

Bai Zhizhen was reluctant to send some of the banned horses out because the burden of this thing was too heavy. He skillfully calculated the accounts for the emperor, saying that if the horse politics were not reformed, the new horses sent by the Uighurs and the original old horses were confined in the Feilong Stable, and they would consume a lot of food sent from all over the country every year, plus the trash money and foot price. And now the mortality rate of horse raising in the palace garden is astonishing. Emperor, you must know that every dead horse is equivalent to smashing 160 stagnant of money into the water for nothing, and you can't hear a sound!

According to Bai Zhizhen's calculation, Your Majesty can first release 2,000 banned horses, including 400 each in Weiyang and Lingtai, while Changwu and Purun each have 600 each. Each horse is fed in the Mafang nearby, released and medical treatment every year, which can save 20 stagnant money, which can reduce the cost of the Six Army of the Northern Ya and the Shence Army of about 40,000 stagnant money every year. In addition, two or three thousand horses were originally killed every year, if the Four Horse House was set up, at least two thousand less could be killed. If the horse price was converted, the loss of 300,000 stagnant money could be avoided.

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "That's what Gao Yue said."

Then he said to Bai Zhizhen that I have learned from Su Dai Dynasty and no longer served as a central official. The "Inner Flying Dragon Stable Envoy" will be appointed to you. You will settle the matter of rebuilding the horse house with Gao Yue.

Bai Zhizhen was flattered. He is now the envoy of the city camp, the envoy of the military commander, the envoy of the military commander, and now the envoy of the idle stable commander, which can be said to be the city defense of the entire capital, the recruitment of the military commander and the envoy of the horse are under his control. He is really a high position and powerful person, under one person!

So Bai Zhizhen was so grateful that he would manage the Shen Ce Army and the stable outside the war, and would never let down His Majesty's trust.

He was not good at raising banned horses, but Bai Zhizhen was very good at sending banned horses out: he acted decisively and quickly selected 2,000 banned horses from the Feilong Stable. He first stamped the word "Fly" to indicate that the horse was my Feilong's envoy, and then he stamped the words "Qi", "Long", "Jing", and "Bi", and sent special personnel to Fengxiang Purun, Longzhou Xianyang, Jingzhou Lingtai (Yuanzhou Xingzai) and Binzhou Changwucheng.

After four hundred banned horses came to Yuanzhou, something big happened in the sister Qingfanluo.

Gao Yue gave Ming Huaiyi five thousand stag, asking him and his brother Ming Jingyi and Ming Weiyi to buy horses.

Ming Huaiyi and his two brothers went to Shizhou to buy it again, and they did buy another 400 horses. However, when they came back, they were looking for danger, so the three sisters and brothers returned to Jingzhou in separate ways. Among them, Ming Huaiyi and Ming Jingyi were on the Binning Road. Li Huaiguang did not make any trouble. Three hundred horses took a group of horse merchants and arrived safely and smoothly at Baili New City.

But the hundred horses driven by Ming Weiyi were affected. He was on Suizhou and Qingzhou Road. He was robbed in Dachangyuan, which bordered Qingzhou and Jingzhou north. All the horses were robbed. Ming Weiyi was smarter and ran away. However, seven horse robbers in his sister Qingfanluo were killed, and three horse merchants in the team were captured.

The younger sister Ming Weiyi rode a horse and was hit by two arrows. He ran back to Fanluo camp with blood.

Minghuai shouted angrily in the Baizi Tent, Who did it?

Ming Weiyi gritted his teeth and leaned under the tent. He told his brother that the enemy was not going to conceal their evil deeds. Four of us were shot and killed immediately. Three others were injured and fell off their horses. They did not leave any living mouths and cut their necks on the spot to kill them.

The target of Ming Weiyi's report was: "The pheasant Qiang in Qingzhou's elixir..."

After saying that, Ming Weiyi fainted immediately.
