Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 435 Make the Best Use of Everything
In the early morning of the next day, Pang De went to the State Shepherd's Mansion to formally report to Lantian.

Pound was born in the Xiliang Cavalry Corps, and he is best at commanding cavalry to fight. However, all the best horses in the world are produced outside the Great Wall, such as the famous Wuhuan horse and Xiongnu horse.It is not easy for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to obtain horses in the south, and basically they can only be captured on the battlefield and smuggled by the people.

Jiaozhou, where Lantian is located, used boats for travel. A small number of war horses were also captured on the battlefield. They were mainly used for emergency communications and cavalry patrols in the city. Most of the local horses came from Yizhou. Although they are short in stature, they have sufficient endurance and are often used as livestock. Used for farming.

The cavalryman Pound came to Jiaozhou, just like the commander of the Mongolian navy, so Lantian didn't know what to arrange for him.

"Lingming, I went to the military zone yesterday, what do you think of it?" Lan Tian asked.

Pound replied truthfully: "The neat barracks, perfect logistics, and the location of the arsenal are all properly arranged. This is something I have never seen in any city. In addition, the military area has a large open space, and there is no need to go out of the city for daily training. only."

"It's clear, but it doesn't matter." Lan Tian asked curiously.

"There are too few stables reserved," Pound regretted.

Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled: "There is a shortage of horses in the south and there are many mountains. We only have a few hundred cavalry. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice."

"If you have horses, you can reproduce. The general knows that the south relies more on ships, but the lord will definitely need cavalry in his future struggle to balance the Central Plains. The lord is a wise man, so he should understand the reason." Pound suggested.

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled wryly: "I tried it with someone, but many of the newborn foals died young, maybe it's because of the southern weather."

"The last general has domesticated horses in Liangzhou, why don't you let me have a try?" Pound clasped his fists and asked.

"That's very good. You can just talk to Boping about the place and house you need to raise the horses." Lan Tian ordered.

Pang De clasped his fists and turned around to salute Gao Shun, "From now on, I will bother General Gao a lot."

"It's easy to say." Gao Shun nodded.

Lan Tian pondered for a moment and continued: "Boping, turn over and hand over the hundreds of cavalry to Commander Ming, and the patrol of the inner city to him. General Pang can train those cavalry in addition to taming the horses."

"Wei." Gao Shun and Pound replied in unison.

The hundreds of cavalry that Lan Tiankou mentioned were not the reconnaissance battalion of Gao Shun's army, but cavalry drawn from Cangwu County to be in charge of patrolling the inner city of Guangzhou.

Some of these hundreds of cavalry belonged to Wu Ju, and some were left behind by Lu Fan. After Shamoke captured Cangwu County, the defenders surrendered. Their combat effectiveness was relatively low, let alone fighting the infantry of the fallen army. , even Shamoke's Wuxi Man is no match.

"Let's go..." Lan Tian wanted to take Pang De around the city, but suddenly thought of something after he said a few words, he turned to Gao Yuan and said, "Go and bring me Lu, since Ling Ming wants to tame war horses, Just give it to him as a seed."

"But that's you from Liu." Gao Yuan knew that Lu wanted to come from Liu Bei. He didn't ride all day and had to be taken out for a run, confessing like a guest, completely unaware of why Lantian was so precious.

"Let's go, make the best use of people and things." Lan Tian's tone was firm, and Lu, who didn't ride, also had his own difficulties.

Some people say that the end of science is theology. If you don’t understand it, it’s better to be careful. After all, Lu there is really mysterious. Without Liu Bei’s imperial life, who would dare to take risks easily.

"Wei." Gao Yuan turned and left.

Several people waited in the courtyard for a while, Gao Yuan walked in and clasped his fists and said: "Sir, the horse you want to use, and the Luma are outside the door."

Lan Tian nodded in relief. Gao Yuan had followed him for many years, and he hadn't said that he wanted to ride on the street, but the other party had already guessed it clearly. This is the so-called tacit understanding.

Lan Tian took the lead, followed by Gao Shun, Pang De, and Gao Yuan.

Walking out of the gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lan Tian pointed to the white horse by the wall and said, "Ling Ming, what do you think of this white horse? Can it be called a thousand-mile horse?"

Pound's eyes brightened, "This horse is tall and mighty, with a strong body and a white coat that is as shiny as snow. It's really a good horse. It's great to use it for breeding."

"I'll give you this Lu, but I don't recommend you to ride it." Lan Tian urged.

"But why?" Pound looked blank.

Gao Yuan snorted coldly at the side: "This white horse used to be General Zuo's mount, and my husband only rode it two or three times to come here. If General Pang used it for his own feet, wouldn't it be contemptuous?"

"Uh, so that's the case. It seems that the lord is reluctant to ride. Pang loves a good horse like a wife and concubine. Don't worry." Pound clasped his fists and made a promise.

Lan Tian nodded slightly, and then instructed Gao Yuan: "Ask someone to send Lu to General Pang's residence. We are going to patrol the streets now."

"Wei." Gao Yuan cupped his fists.

Horseback riding is prohibited in the Central Government District. Lan Tian led the horses to the edge, and then inspected the four districts with Gao Shun, Pound and Gaoyuan. Area.

The cultural and educational area in the northeast is relatively quiet. At present, there are only Guangzhou Academy, Lingnan News under the Administration of Books and Newspapers, and three medical offices under the Administration of Medicine. Except that the main road has been leveled, the rest are barren weeds and trees of different heights.

The temples, Taoist temples, large gardens and other facilities mentioned in the planning map of the Cultural and Educational District were temporarily put on hold due to the heavy construction tasks of the barbarians, because Lantian decided to stabilize the material conditions first, and then slowly improve the spiritual level of Guangzhou City. s things.

In the military area in the northwest, there are nearly 4 garrisons and their families. It is currently the most populous area in the city. The uniform houses and several football fields are very eye-catching.

The artisan area in the southwest corner includes hundreds of government-run workshops such as textile workshops, papermaking workshops, and printing workshops. It involves military, people's livelihood, culture, education, and politics. It is also a concentrated expression of Jiaozhou's scientific and technological strength.

The trade area in the southeast is the most noisy and prosperous existence among the four outer areas. People, ox carts, and carts are rushing through the streets, and the smell of money is everywhere.

The bazaar built by the government is simple and extensive, and is temporarily leased to ordinary businessmen. The bazaar is organized and orderly according to the transaction categories, mainly rice, noodles, meat, beans, melons, fruits, vegetables, etc.

The well-built shops are divided into government-run and self-built. The government-run shops sell furniture, cloth, farm tools, pottery, etc. from government-run workshops. Private shops are commercial firms that buy land and build themselves. As well as exotic curios and products from the Central Plains.

Lan Tian made such an arrangement. He wanted people from all walks of life to have the opportunity to find a living in the trade zone. The lower taxes and good supporting facilities were just to attract businessmen from all over the place. He wanted to build Guangzhou City into an important commercial center in Qingzhou.

During the inspection of the trade area, Lan Tian found Shi Zhi and others arguing on a street corner.

"Gao Yuan, go and invite Mr. Shi over to talk." Lan Tian ordered.

"Wei." Gao Yuan dismounted and walked.
