Chapter 1093 Supervisor
Residents at the foot of the mountain can already wear summer clothes, but people on Tianheyuan still have to wear cloaks.
But this place was originally a barren land with high mountains and deserts, where only herdsmen raised sheep. How could it be so fertile and fertile now?
He Lingchuan said earnestly: "Master, times have changed!"
After driving Fu Shanlie away from Yuheng City and completely taking over Longchuan, another year has passed. The world has successively welcomed seven imperial streams, with an average of one in less than two months, which is a blessing for the world.
The sudden abundance of spiritual energy has driven the landforms of the entire Panlong Wasteland to undergo drastic changes. With abundant precipitation, grass grows and warblers fly everywhere, and even the wasteland is covered with new green clothes.
Even the high mountains and deserts like Tianheyuan have become high-quality natural grasslands after Panlong City has intentionally raised them for more than two years!
At this time, a group of horses passed by the lake, with as many as three or four hundred horses. They galloped and splashed pearls and jade, and startled the flocks of gulls and herons strolling by the lake into the sky.
The sky was full of white, like a heavy snowfall.
This was the fifth herd of horses they had passed by.
Sun Fuling asked He Lingchuan with a smile: "Headmaster He, how many horses are raised on this grassland?"
At present, He Lingchuan temporarily took over as the director of Tianheyuan Pastoral Supervisor -
Yes, after Zhong Shengguang transferred him from Yuheng City, he sent him here to supervise the pasture and the raising of war horses.
"Tianhe Ranch has a total of 9,716 war horses, and another 700 are being transported here. Commander Zhong hopes that the number can reach 20,000 by the end of the year."
Sun Fuling looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her: "Such a beautiful grassland, 20,000 war horses are too few."
"Yes, step by step, why rush?" He Lingchuan pointed to the west, "The original thousands of hectares of farmland there will also be returned to pasture and stocked with grassland. The residents will move to Tianhe City in the next two days. Alas, I've been busy with this matter recently."
Sun Fuling asked curiously: "The fields will also be returned?"
"Yes. Although the Panlong Wasteland has changed, the Maohe The soil fertility of the plain is better, and the grain output is much higher than that of the Panlong Wasteland. With this large granary as a backing, large areas of land in the Panlong Wasteland can be developed into pastures. For example, Tianheyuan is located in a high and cold area with long mountains and valleys, and there are beautiful grass and sweet springs, which can allow horses to gallop freely. In fact, this place was also a pasture two hundred years ago, but later it degenerated into a Gobi desert. "
"In the past, Panlong City did not dare to do this. The land needed to graze a war horse could at least feed thirty people if it was used for farming!" The Panlong Wasteland is not fertile enough, and there is not much land that can be cultivated. In addition to the population of the city in the wasteland, how can it be luxuriously turned into a pasture?
In the past hundred years, due to population and food pressure, the pastures in the wasteland have been continuously converted into farmland. People and horses compete for land, and there is no place to raise horses.
Why has Panlong City never dared to expand? In addition to the fact that the population has never been raised, the lack of war horses is also one of the balancing factors.
Without war horses, where would the cavalry come from?
Although the Chiba Plateau is fertile, the area is limited and the number of horses is limited.
Until the last few years, the frequent arrival of Emperor Liujiang finally changed the situation.
This world has become full of vitality, and Panlong Wasteland has also become full of vitality.
If this continues, Panlong Wasteland will soon be renamed Panlong Plain.
He Lingchuan patted the warhorse's neck: "This big guy is the horse king of Tianyuan East Ranch. His father is a black-barred beast. It took me two days and two nights to tame it. I was almost exhausted!"
Sun Fuling was curious: "Where do the horses come from?"
"Some are purchased from overseas and shipped from Baisha Port. The journey is long. Some are sent as thank-you gifts by small countries bullied by Baling. Some are offered by Jin Yao Country." He Lingchuan smiled, "Last year, Jin Yao Country was conquered by us. Among the compensations sent by Panlong City as required, there were more than 3,000 war horses. Haha, they have two good ranches and their horse breeds are also famous. We select the best ones and don't want the inferior ones until we have 3,000 horses."
"In the early spring, many foals grow on the grassland." With his current experience, he can compile a book, "Postpartum Care of Female Horses".
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Sun Fuling couldn't help but say, "Master Zhong transferred you, the great commander, to herd horses. Aren't you really angry?"
After defeating the puppet troops of Fushan Lie and Xiqie and taking over Longchuan, Yuheng City and Maohe Plain were safe.
Then the future development focus of Yuheng City would be adjusted from military to internal affairs in stages.
He Lingchuan's mission had been completed, so Zhong Shengguang transferred him back to Panlong City and temporarily assigned him to Tianheyuan to supervise the horse farm.
"Why are you angry?" He Lingchuan laughed, "I'm a jack of all trades, I can be used wherever I need it. Besides, war horses are so important to Panlong City that I don't need to say more."
As soon as Zhong Shengguang transferred him to manage war horses, he understood Panlong City's ambition.
How could Zhong Shengguang fulfill his ambitions if he always lived in Panlong Wasteland?
The incorporation of Maohe Plain and the outbreak of Di Liujiang were the basis for Panlong City's real external expansion.
But He Lingchuan knew that it was not time to make Zhong Shengguang's idea public.
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.
Raising war horses is just one of the preliminary preparations.
Besides, this experience will be of great benefit to He Lingchuan's future plans.
The Yangshan Guards trained by Qiu Hu are still mainly infantry.
The environment of the archipelago is not open enough and is not suitable for cavalry.
But he and his army will always return to the land. In the future, he will face the same problems as Panlong City.
Well, Bailie only has one horse farm. Where can he get batches of good horses in the future?
"Hey, are you still there?" Sun Fuling raised her hand and waved it in front of him. How could this guy be distracted while talking to her?
Are war horses important to Panlong City? Of course they are important.
But Panlong City is full of talents. Why did Zhong Shengguang send He Lingchuan to raise horses?
He Lingchuan won a great victory in Yuheng City, crushed Beijia's conspiracy in Xijue, and cut off the rotten scar of Longchuan bandits for Panlong City... He has made so many contributions. Did Panlong City, which has always been clear about rewards and punishments, reward him according to his merits?
No.
Zhong Shengguang threw the great commander to this vast grassland with few people to raise horses.
There is no doubt that this is exile and punishment!
Those who are interested can understand it. Sun Fuling was worried that he would feel uncomfortable.
"Yes!" He Lingchuan came back to his senses, not unwilling, "How is Yuheng City?"
"Very good, more prosperous, more than 20,000 people have been added in the past six months." Yuheng City is the bridgehead and barometer of the Maohe Plain. If the local economy improves, the grain harvest is good, and the trade is prosperous, then the surrounding population will move to Yuheng City in an endless stream. "Yuheng Academy has a lot of new students, and this spring enrollment is very busy. Master Liu went to get the teaching plan during the break, and the students waited for a long time but didn't see him. They sent someone to find him, only to find that Master Liu was sleeping in the corridor. Alas, fortunately, the newly recruited teachers will arrive in the next few days."
He Lingchuan sighed: "Mr. Wen is still amazing."
After the great victory of Yuheng City, the citizens and the elders jointly wrote to Panlong City, urging Wen Daolun to return to preside over internal affairs.
During Wen Daolun's tenure in Yuheng City, he made clear policies and listened to the voices of the people, which won the hearts of the people.
Zhong Shengguang would not go against the will of the people, so he sent Wen Daolun back to Yuheng City to continue governing.
The attitudes of the citizens towards He Lingchuan and Wen Daolun were completely different.
Sun Fuling looked at him for a few more times before patting the bag on his shoulder: "Mr. Wen knew that I was back to Panlong City for work, so he asked me to bring you a few boxes of Yunpian Cakes, some with sesame and some with peanuts."
"Mr. Wen is thoughtful, and they are all my favorites."
Sun Fuling pouted slightly: "He is always worried that you are angry with him."
He Lingchuan shook his head: "The people of Yuheng City hate me because I did not do well. What does it have to do with Mr. Wen? Why should I be angry with him?"
After the results of the battle in Yuheng City were reported back to Panlong City, he was not waiting for praise.
According to reliable sources, in the Hall of War, the senior officials of Panlong City severely condemned his battle plan.
The focus of the criticism was that he used Yuheng City as bait and took the risk of setting an ambush.
"Being greedy for merit and reckless, where does the safety of the people of Yuheng City lie!"
"If this battle fails, Fu Shanlie will massacre Yuheng City. How will He Lingchuan explain to Commander Zhong?"
The reason why Fu Shanlie attacked Yuheng City was very clear. Even if he took it, he would not be able to occupy it for long. What he wanted to do was to massacre the entire Yuheng City, let all the supporters of Panlong City pay the price with blood, and let the world know the consequences of offending Beijia!
So once Fu Shanlie succeeded in the sneak attack, he would most likely massacre the city.
Bejia did this in Yuan Kingdom, and that was a price that Yuheng City could not afford.
"It's a risky move, and Zhao Linyang is also involved!"
Zhao Linyang, who succeeded Wen Daolun, was meticulous in government and very capable, but he died in the sneak attack of the insect demon in the battle of Yuheng City.
"Panlong City has always emphasized the unity of the army and the people. If he can do this, should we do the same in the future? How he treats the people of Yuheng City, should we treat the people of Panlong City in the same way in the future?"
After the meeting, Zhong Shengguang transferred He Lingchuan to raise horses to calm the public anger.
Sun Fuling patted his face: "Are you really not angry?"
"I was a little unhappy in the first few days after being transferred to the grassland." After all, he saved Yuheng City. In real history, Yuheng City failed to defend itself the first time it was attacked by water bandits, and it was defeated repeatedly afterwards, and the residents of the whole city were in dire straits.
But he couldn't tell everyone that I helped you reverse your tragic fate.
Even if he won such a beautiful victory, the people of Yuheng City still didn't understand him and didn't like him.
"But I have been raising horses here for half a year, and I have gradually thought it through."
Sun Fuling looked up and listened to him say a sentence gently and calmly:
"I was wrong."
"As a superior..."
He Lingchuan smiled and took her hand: "As a superior, you can't easily admit your mistakes. I remember your words. But this sentence is said to myself."
He casually said: "There are still two days before the return journey, let's change a carriage."
He took Sun Fuling to ride a horse, just to let her feel the vastness and magnificence of Tianheyuan.
If you really want to ride all the way back, it will be very tiring.
