Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 472 If management loopholes are not resolved, Ma's new policies will inevitably fail to be implemented
The atmosphere in the Fengtian Hall was solemn, as if even the air had become heavy.

Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting upright on the dragon throne, had a deep yet sharp gaze.

Liang Yexian, standing in front of the hall, had a serious look on his face, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, but he didn't care at all.

Liang Yexian said in a serious and somewhat anxious tone: "Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right!

This war horse is of utmost importance to our Ming Dynasty!

It concerns the country and people of our Ming Dynasty and is the key to defeating the enemy on the battlefield.

The imperial court must formulate a strict horse maintenance and breeding system as soon as possible, as the two complement each other.

Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty's war horses become more and more sophisticated.

In the future, our Ming cavalry will be invincible when they gallop across the battlefield."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and gently stroked the armrest of the dragon throne with his right hand.

He looked at Liang Yexian with sharp eyes, "Lord Liang, please tell me in detail, how should it be formulated?

We need to think carefully about this matter, we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest."

Liang Yesian hurriedly took a step forward, his expression becoming more serious.

He just bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, this system must be carefully considered from all aspects.

For example, there must be clear regulations for the horse's daily feeding and drinking, as well as daily training and epidemic prevention.

Every link is critical, and the slightest mistake may lead to disaster."

As Liang Yexian demonstrated the movements of mixing fodder, he said attentively, "Take feeding for example, Your Majesty, there are many tricks involved.

The type and amount of forage must be accurately adjusted according to different seasons, age groups and purposes.

Like spring when everything comes back to life, there is green grass everywhere and fresh green grass is growing lushly.

This food can not only supplement the horse's nutrition but is also easy to digest, so you need to feed him more.

But in winter, it is freezing cold.

There is no green grass outside, so the proportion of hay and concentrated feed will have to be increased.

This is just like us humans, who need to eat more warm and filling foods in winter.

Giving horses these things can help them resist the severe cold and allow them to spend the winter safely.

Most importantly, the daily feeding time should be fixed and the error must not exceed a quarter of an hour.

This horse, like humans, has developed regular eating habits.

Only when your body is strong can you be energetic and vigorous on the battlefield."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

He then asked, “Well, what you said does make sense.

What about drinking water?

This water is also related to the health of the horse, so there must be many things to pay attention to. "

Liang Yexian nodded hurriedly, his eyes firm and his expression serious as he replied: "Your Majesty is wise, drinking water must be clean and hygienic.

This cannot be taken lightly, it is of utmost importance.

The water must be changed three times a day, and it must be clean well water or carefully filtered water.

Every time the water is changed, someone must be assigned to watch it to ensure that no foreign matter is mixed in.

In addition, the amount of water you drink must be adjusted according to the amount of exercise the horse does. If the horse exercises a lot today, it naturally needs to drink more water to replenish its water.

After each drinking water, a special person must be arranged to carefully check the horse's condition.

Check to see if there is anything abnormal, such as abdominal distension, mental fatigue, etc.

This way, nothing can go wrong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang folded his hands across his chest and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking.

After a moment, he asked again: "What about epidemic prevention?

What good advice do you have in this regard? If the disease spreads among the horses, it will be a disaster. We can't let this happen."

Liang Yesian took a deep breath, his expression as serious as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

"Your Majesty, epidemic prevention is indeed the top priority, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

The horses need to be given a comprehensive physical examination by a veterinarian every two weeks.

The veterinarian must be experienced and skilled; you can't just find anyone.

Once a sick war horse is found, it must be isolated immediately.

Placed alone in a place that is remote but easy to care for.

Arrange someone to take good care of it and don't let the disease spread.

And the horse farm needs to be disinfected every day.

You have to use special epidemic prevention agents to spray carefully, leaving no corner untouched.

Kill all those germs that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin mentioned, so as to ensure that the Ming Dynasty has a continuous supply of war horses and that their quality is high.

Your Majesty, the current situation is critical, we must hurry!

I hope Your Majesty will consider and decide as soon as possible. If you delay for one day, the hidden danger will increase."

After saying that, Liang Yesian knelt on one knee with a plop, his face full of anxiety and anticipation.

His eyes were filled with worry about the Ming Dynasty and a desire for the smooth implementation of the horse policy plan.

He was thinking that as long as these measures were implemented, perhaps he could save the situation from crisis and provide assistance to the Ming Dynasty's military.

But Liang Yesian knew deep down that there were many difficulties involved.

But at this moment he had no other choice but to hope that Zhu Yuanzhang would grant his permission.

As soon as Liang Yesian finished speaking, the newly appointed Chief Censor Zhao Ren stood up.

His brows were furrowed like knots, and his face looked serious and anxious.

Zhao Ren took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted, and said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, although Lord Liang's idea is good, there are many problems that need to be solved now. I hope Your Majesty will understand.

This is not something that can be accomplished just by having good ideas. There are many practical problems that are like roadblocks standing in our way. "

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Zhao Ren anxiously, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"Lord Zhao, why don't you tell me more specifically?

We would like to hear what problems make you so worried?
Don't beat around the bush, just speak your mind."

Zhao Ren looked solemn, and he cupped his hands again, saying helplessly, "Your Majesty, the court's finances are as tight as a dry riverbed, and we really don't have much spare money.

The cost of setting up additional breeding grounds is enormous.

Not to mention the expenses of buying land and building stables, just the subsequent material supplies.

That was a huge sum of money, and the court really couldn't afford it.

Besides, training professional talents is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

You have to find an expert who understands horses and knows how to raise horses to teach you the skills, and you also have to find someone who can read and understand the rules to learn from.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but if it doesn't work then it will be a waste of effort and resources."

Zhao Ren sighed softly and continued, "Besides, the management of the horse farm is full of loopholes, and some officials of the horse farm have enriched themselves.

The good fodder that should have been given to the horses was secretly withheld and replaced with inferior one.

Some of them were negligent in their duties, and even the number of horses did not match, and the accounts were a mess.

If these problems are not solved first, no matter how good Lord Liang's new policy is, the situation will probably only get worse when it is implemented.

I think that the key to stabilizing the morale of the army and protecting the existing war horses is to rectify the existing horse farms, check the accounts, and severely punish those horse farm officials who have enriched themselves and neglected their duties. "

Zhao Ren shook his head as he spoke, his expression seeming to have seen the dire situation at the racecourse continue to be in chaos.
