Chapter 2642

After all, An Wenbo had experience studying abroad, and he quickly figured out the stakes involved. When dynasties change, it is human nature for some people to want to leave a boat that is about to sink into the water to survive.

When the current dynasty becomes the former dynasty, the identity of the royal family member may not be easy to use, and may even become a burden. Zhu Zian wants to be the first to eat crabs. Although this choice is risky, it is also possible.

It will bring huge benefits. Shi Chengwu will take him with him to perform diplomatic missions, which shows that Haihan attaches great importance to him.

An Wenbo had already ordered someone to set up a banquet to welcome Shi Chengwu and his party. At that moment, everyone took several carriages and headed to the government office in Seogwipo Port. In addition to the local Korean officials and squires on Jeju Island, those who accompanied him at the reception banquet were also

There are several people in charge of various industries here from Haihan.

During the dinner, An Wenbo took the initiative to ask Shi Chengwu: "Brother Chengwu rarely comes to Jeju Island once, why not stay here for a few more days?"

Shi Chengwu said: "Brother An, I'm afraid my schedule doesn't allow it... Before I set off from Zhoushan, I had notified Seoul in advance to arrange relevant diplomatic activities. After arriving in Seoul, I will meet with the king of your country, the government, and the Liucao Yamen

, the two departments of Xianjian, Chengjun Hall, the fifth military camp, and the three inner halls all have corresponding meeting arrangements. If you waste time here, all your schedules will be disrupted. You will have to return from the west early the day after tomorrow.

Depart from Pupu.”

After An Wenbo heard this, it was no longer easy to persuade him. Shi Chengwu's next meetings were all central government agencies. Of course, the meeting schedule was not allowed to be modified at will, not to mention that there was also a meeting with the king, which would be delayed.

He alone cannot be responsible for the mission's schedule.

Shi Chengwu continued: "However, during the next fleet's journey north, An's immigration fleet will temporarily stay in Jeju Island to rest and regroup when we return south. I hope Brother An can take care of it."

An Wenbo responded: "It doesn't matter. I have ordered people to make corresponding preparations for this matter. Some temporary residences have been built near the port, and the required food has been purchased. Public security and medical care have also been arranged with corresponding manpower.

You can rest assured."

The immigrant group going to the North American colonies this time has no diplomatic or military mission, and of course there is no need to follow the mission throughout the entire journey. Therefore, before departure, it was decided to arrange for them to rest and standby in Jeju Island, and notified them to prepare in advance.

Since the Hirado War, Seogwipo has been used as a supply base for the Haehan Army. It has complete facilities and sufficient supplies. In addition, Governor An Wenbo is personally watching over it, and it is necessary to provide food and accommodation for one or two thousand immigrants in the short term.

Naturally, it was not a problem, so he was confident in this work and issued a military order in front of Shi Chengwu.

Zhu Zian was not interested in the reception banquet here or the Korean songs and dances arranged during the banquet. Although he was a down-and-out noble, he was still a nobleman. When he was young, he went to Beijing to attend the imperial banquet hosted by Chongzhen, and he was considered to have seen the world.

In his opinion, the hospitality provided by the North Koreans was completely inferior.

There seemed to be a lot of food on the table, but they were all small bowls and small dishes, and most of them were pickled vegetables with a weird taste, which was really hard to make people want to eat. The wine was said to be soju made from rice, but it smelled nothing like it.

The aroma of the wine made Zhu Zian put it down after only one drink. In his opinion, this thing couldn't compare with the Shaoxing Huadiao he drank in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, let alone the "Haihan Special Brew".

As for the young women dancing in the hall, they all had round faces and narrow eyes. Zhu Zian was too lazy to take a second look. He had seen the map before and knew that Jeju Island was actually an enclave of North Korea on the sea, far away from the sea.

It is reasonable for the real center of power to have relatively poor material culture. However, looking at the appearance of Governor An Wenbo, it seems that he is proud of being able to entertain guests with such lavishness.

Fortunately, the place where they stayed at night was not bad. Zhu Zian was assigned to a separate room. It was not only clean and tidy, but also had hot water for bathing. However, the group of them stayed in a guest house under the Haihan Army. This was different from An Wenbo.

But it doesn't matter.

Early the next morning, Shi Chengwu and others left the station after breakfast and went to inspect the military horse racing farm, which is only a few miles away from Seogwipo Port.

This horse farm is located at the southern foot of Halla Mountain, covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 acres. It has been in operation for more than ten years. It is the largest horse farm operated by Haihan in other countries. It is affiliated to the Military Horse Division of the Equipment Department of the Ministry of National Defense and is considered a military authority.

party’s assets.

Among Shi Chengwu and his party, the one who is most familiar with military horses is Ha Jianyi. The first cavalry unit in Haihan was founded by his father Harugong, and the first horse farm was also founded by him.

It can be said that all of Haihan's horse-related industries so far are inextricably linked to Harugong. Ha Jianyi inherited his father's business and is now responsible for supervising matters related to cavalry and military horses in the army.

When the military chose Jeju Island to set up a military horse racing farm, it was also Harugong's suggestion. The business results of more than ten years since then have fully proved that Harugong's original decision was correct.

Although Harugong has lived in Nanhai for a long time and is in a semi-retired state, and is no longer personally involved in military affairs, the racecourse here is still inseparable from him. Hao Zhixing, the current person in charge of the racecourse, studied under Harugong.

In terms of seniority, he is still Ha Jianyi's senior brother.

Although the group of visitors to the racecourse were all much younger than Hao Zhixing, their status and background did not allow Hao Zhixing to be negligent. Hao Zhixing prepared his mounts early and took them inside the racecourse to watch and introduce the situation.

Today, this horse farm employs more than 120 people and raises nearly 2,000 military horses. It provides the military with no less than 200 qualified military horses every year. Of course, in addition to the war horses used as cavalry mounts, there are also

One part is the draft horse responsible for pulling vehicles and artillery, as well as the pack horse responsible for transporting supplies.

"Raising military horses is not just as simple as keeping them well fed. We must ensure the pedigree of excellent horse breeds during the breeding process of military horses, and we must also conduct targeted training for military horses for different purposes. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in every link.

detail."

While introducing, Hao Zhixing took everyone to a warehouse dedicated to storing grain and grass, and introduced them to this knowledge: "In addition to daily forage, these army horses also need to eat beans, wheat bran, grains, salt, stone powder and other foods.

, feeding according to a certain ratio. We also have very strict storage requirements for the warehouse, which must be moisture-proof, mildew-proof, insect-proof, rodent-proof, fire-proof, and poison-proof to ensure that the food and grass are foolproof."

Everyone heard that what he said was very clear and logical, and all kinds of feed in the warehouse were also packed very neatly. They all nodded in approval.
