    "So many?" Chen Xi scratched his head. He only released 70,000 to 80,000 Mongolian horses back then, and mixed a lot of high-quality Dawan horses into them as stallions, and he didn't take care of them anymore after that.  After all, the size of the northern Xinjiang grassland was calculated based on millions of square kilometers after the Han Dynasty wiped out the Hu people. Chen Xi did not have a good control plan at the time, so he could only choose to herd war horses.  Chen Xi¡¯s mentality at that time was that since I couldn¡¯t get it, and there weren¡¯t that many people to set up a large ranch, it would be a waste to have the grassland barren, so it was better to use it to raise some things.  Anyway, it would be a waste to abandon millions of square kilometers. If it is used to raise some things, it will not be a loss at all, so Chen Xi raised tens of thousands of war horses.  Well, they don¡¯t count war horses, they are just ordinary Mongolian horses. Let them throw some Dawan horses into them and let them develop on their own. As for whether they can get fat, it is not Chen Xi¡¯s problem. They may even be bitten to death by wolves.  Chen Xi didn't care about anything.  If the northern grasslands are left alone, the horses will live on their own, chasing water and grass, and then naturally eliminate the weak ones among them. Those who remain should be good. As a result, after so many years, Chen Xi has forgotten this matter.  , I didn¡¯t expect to finally raise it.  "That's right. Back then, I raised 70,000 to 80,000 bad Mongolian horses, drove them out, and then stuffed hundreds of Dawan horses into them as the top horses." Chen Xi rubbed his chin and recalled the events of that year.  Looking at the situation, he thought about the time and calculated that it had been three years since Yuanfeng. You must know that he did not let the Xiongnu survive the spring. Four years have passed.  "This is really good news. I think we have reached the harvest season." Guo Jia said excitedly. It only takes four years for horses to reach adulthood, and now they are four years old, which means that the earliest horses can reach adulthood.  The horses have reached adulthood, no wonder there are so many of them now.  "It will only last three hundred thousand horses to death." Chen Xi touched his chin and said. Horses only have one litter per year. Counting the original wild horses on the grassland, they can produce their own babies in one year.  Sixty or seventy thousand, four years later, plus the original, Chen Xi was a little happy.  "This is quite a lot. We have captured the appropriate ones inside." Guo Jia rubbed his hands. This scale is already very large. I didn't expect Chen Xi to have so many of them. It is indeed a precautionary measure.  "It's okay to capture them." Chen Xi thought for a while. The horses earlier were all grown up, so it was time to capture a batch. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a waste, so he said in a tentative tone, "How about capturing 50,000 horses?"  , but this kind of horse cannot be used directly after being caught. It still needs to be raised well, otherwise, it will become too thin to run after a period of running. " "It's simple, catch 50,000 horses and stuff them into the pasture, and then start from there.  Wouldn't it be nice to catch 50,000 suitable horses in the ranch?" Guo Jia didn't take it seriously at all. "I will give the order to the north and ask those people to stop starting from the beginning of this year.  The Wei family and the Mi family who are in the horse business all sell horses from the north. I used to wonder where they came from! " In fact, many people know about the increase in wild horses in the north. Yuan Tan saw the ranch when he returned to the Central Plains.  , I have also seen large groups of wild horses, and I complained about this to the Yuan family, but no one thought too much about the wild horses in the north at that time, but now Guo Jia finally understands that these bastards are poaching the corners of their Han Empire,  You dare to poach the wild horses that are kept free in my Han Dynasty.  "No, that's a bit too much." Chen Xi frowned and said, "Are there that many? Probably not. There are millions of square kilometers in the north, so it's unlikely that they would be discovered." Chen Xi originally raised them freely.  At that time, it was just that the north was vast and sparsely populated. It was only a few million square kilometers, or even tens of millions of square kilometers. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of wild horses, it would not attract anyone's attention. What the hell is the situation now?  "Nowadays, groups of wild horses can often be seen in Jiuyuan border counties in the north, and large-scale wild horses can often be seen in the Liaodong area where aristocratic families migrated north. They can even be seen in the Hexi Corridor, so now many people  In the horse business, even the price of horses has dropped," Guo Jia said sadly, while Chen Xi was stunned, is it such an exaggeration?  Chen Xi flipped through the reports he had collected, and sure enough, several border counties had already claimed that they had captured hundreds of wild horses, and then asked to reduce part of the grain collection in the coming year to use it as food for the cavalry. What the hell is this?  Chen Xi didn't remember that he kept so many.  "Didn't I only raise 70,000 to 80,000? It shouldn't be such an exaggeration." Chen Xi said with a strange face, "Even if I remember to send some rain to the north on time, people will remember to scatter some grass seeds everywhere in the spring for easy growth.  "There shouldn't be so many." "Chen Xi is not a fool. Wild horses have been touched in several counties in the border counties, which means that the scale is already large enough to be encountered in the Yanbian area. The north is so big that it can be found in these places.  Encountered, that number is definitely not my own.It's estimated to be three to four hundred thousand.  "What's the problem?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia strangely and said.  "What's wrong?" Guo Jia asked in confusion.  "Impossible. I have calculated the situation at that time. It cost three to four hundred thousand to survive. Now I am afraid that the situation would have doubled before we encountered it. This is impossible. There are many wild horses in the north?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia and asked,  "It shouldn't be. I've never heard of so many before." "Isn't it bad to have too many?" Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said. He had only heard people say that there was a problem with missing horses before, but he had never heard of anyone saying that.  There are too many horses and I feel confused.  "That's not true. In fact, with the size of the northern grassland, and the fact that we watch over where it will rain from time to time, and remember to replant pasture every spring, there is no difference between 300,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan." Chen Xi shook his head.  Said, "I'm just wondering why there are so many wild horses. It shouldn't be. Normally, there were only 30,000 to 50,000 wild horses in the northern grassland back then." "Maybe they are the heritage of the Huns." Guo Jia replied casually, and Chen Xi said  Stunned, I realized in an instant that 80% of it was really the legacy of the Huns. The guy in Hu Yanchu obviously had the idea of ????making a comeback. It was impossible not to make preparations. The Huns who were killed by Yuan Tan when they went north mainly brought cattle and sheep.  , there are not many war horses.  You must know that Hu Yanchu took advantage of the situation to control almost the entire northern Xinjiang, and there were not only a few war horses. If you think about it, oh my god, it turned out that there was a horse farm that did not confiscate its own horses. No wonder when the state-owned ranch was established.  , I always feel that there are not many high-quality war horses, but I didn¡¯t expect that there is a ranch!  "It was probably the pasture of the Huns. It should have been a pasture where they were kept in captivity somewhere. After that, the Huns did not go back. These horses jumped out of the horse pen and turned into wild horses. In this case, they have multiplied into so many in the past four years.  It makes a lot of sense." Chen Xi said helplessly, "I was negligent at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to build only eleven large ranches." "It's not a loss. Now there are hundreds of thousands more.  The number of suitable war horses is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand," Guo Jia said nonchalantly.  "You don't understand at all. If I had taken those war horses back, we wouldn't have hundreds of thousands of war horses now, but so many every year!" Chen Xi said helplessly, but Guo Jia still had a playful smile and didn't care about Chen Xi at all.  Keep what you said in mind. What has happened cannot be changed. It is good for everyone to stay calm and calm.  "Organize a professional hunting team to recover the war horses, but remember to leave half of them in the grassland, and stop hunting wolves in the next two years." Chen Xi saw Guo Jia's expression and sighed and said, "Get more wolves, even if it's  The wild horses will suffer considerable damage, so don't worry about it. We need to control the number of wild horses." Guo Jia nodded repeatedly. He didn't listen to Chen Xi's ecological concept at all. He just turned around and planned to organize more people to catch more wolves.  The part eaten is also taken into account. Chen Zichuan is a man who is full and doesn¡¯t know how hungry he is. This is a horse. Even if it is not a war horse, it is still a good pack horse. You don¡¯t care about feeding the wolves with these. Don¡¯t you?  Heartache, I'm still heartbroken!  As for the fact that it doesn¡¯t last long because of eating grass, that¡¯s not a problem. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to transport it back and feed it soybean food, soybean food with bone meal and eggs, for a period of time?  Aren¡¯t things like fat produced by eating?  If we eat grass and don¡¯t gain weight, we can eat better.  "You, Chen Zichuan, must be going crazy if you have to feed good horses to wolves."  "Don't do this job of hunting wolves in the past two years, and also go and hunt a dozen rabbits and yellow sheep in the grassland for me. In the past two years, there have been fewer wolves, and there have been more of these two things.  Don't let me eat up the grassland." Seeing Guo Jia's disapproval, Chen Xi warned quickly.  After knowing that there were so many free-range horses on the grassland, Chen Xi would never eliminate the wolves. The ecological balance still needed to be maintained, but it was a pity that he did not know that at the time.  "Okay, I won't send people to hunt wolves." Guo Jia curled his lips and said. In Guo Jia's opinion, Chen Xi's approach was completely wasteful.  "Let's form an army to do it, and re-plan the ranch by the way." Chen Xi didn't pay attention to Guo Jia's expression. Generally speaking, as long as Guo Jia agrees, he won't cause trouble. This is much more reliable than Jia Xu and others. Although  Jia Xu and others also completed the task, but their result was that they did complete the task, but the way they completed it was quite surprising.  "That's right, it's okay to form an army to do it. You can capture the war horses yourself and use them yourself. This is very suitable for a place like the army. Well, there are a lot of places that are short of horses now." Guo Jia touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, "Forget it.  , let¡¯s stop this group of people from poaching my Han Dynasty.¡± ¡°Allow them to capture me.¡± Chen Xi glanced at Guo Jia and said, ¡°Getting something like an admission permit is a good industrial chain.¡±
