Chapter 441 Starting to Prepare for a Rainy Day

Cui Pu hurried back to the backyard, pulled Mu Jiaojiao and asked, "Is it true? They really know how to raise horses?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded: "I have asked them to try it in the stables, and Hu San also went to see it, and came back and said that their methods of raising horses are really good, much better than these rangers. In terms of horse training , Their methods are also unique. That's why I asked someone to tell you."

"That's great!" Cui Pu showed joy, "Where are those people? I want to meet them too."

"Just waiting outside!" Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly said.Knowing that he would definitely be excited when he heard the news, she wanted to ask them some more detailed questions immediately, but she didn't let them leave.

This man has a fanatical love for mounts, just like a modern man for a car. Once he gets it, he is more concerned about it than his wife. He takes care of it carefully, lest others will hurt it.

Cui Pu really said: "Let them in quickly!"

This time, a group of tall and strong men came in, and the leader was the one who almost stood up and quarreled with Mu Jiaojiao before.

After this group of people came in, they respectfully knelt down in front of Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao asked, "Has your little master's high fever gone?"

"Retreat, retreat!" The leader was named Batu, and he nodded quickly, "Madam, are you a fairy sent by the shaman? You are so beautiful, and your medical skills are so good. You are the only one who gave my little master After a few injections and feeding him a pill, his high fever subsided! In the past, in our tribe, we could only wait to see the shaman when encountering such a thing.”

So, now they are completely convinced by Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled indifferently: "It will be fine if the fever subsides. Let him rest for a few more days, and within half a month, he will be able to live like a dragon and a tiger... No, with the spirit of your little master, he should be able to go to the ground within three days." gone."

"Really?" Batu and the others were overjoyed when they heard the words, and fell down on the ground in a hurry, and began to babble nonsense again.

Seeing this group of people respecting Mu Jiaojiao so much, Cui Pu felt very proud - this is his wife!His wife has such a good ability!

Milkshake listened to the group of people chattering for a long time before Cui Pu slowly said, "By the way, can you tell me how you were defeated by the East Turks?"

"That's not called defeat, it's clearly their dirty trick!" Speaking of this, Batu became excited again, "Our leader is the most capable man outside the Great Wall. Under his leadership, our Rourou tribe has developed little by little. Big, we all have our own cavalry team! The Eastern Turks took a fancy to our strong and strong horses, and they had to spend money to buy them, but the price they gave was too low. Our leaders disagreed, and they even took advantage of our sleep at night. At the same time, they sent their warriors to surround our tribe. We fought to the death, but because of their numbers and preparations, we failed. If they confronted us head-on, we would not necessarily lose. !"

That Eastern Turkic tribe is really shameless, Cui Pu secretly thought.However, the East Turkic tribe seems to be the largest tribe outside the Great Wall, and An Lushan was born there.Over the years, the Eastern Turkic tribes have been in close contact with the Central Plains. They must have learned this trick from the Han people!
Thinking of this, he secretly stuck out his tongue again.In fact, he has done such things like beating people behind the back, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing so in the New Tang Dynasty.But looking at the group of righteous indignation in front of him, he still swallowed his words silently.

"In any case, you lost. The whole clan was captured and became slaves, including your little master." Cui Pu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Batu immediately softened like an eggplant beaten by frost.

This one-year slave life was enough for them to realize this fact.

Just accept reality.He was worried that this group of people would still think that they were the most powerful tribe on the grassland and would not bow their heads and surrender!

Cui Pu then spoke slowly again: "I know that you are still unwilling to let go of your little master. So now I will put the words here - your little master, we can save his life once, Then we can save him a second time and a third time. As long as you all work for me with peace of mind, we promise to bring him up well. If he is really capable when he grows up, the government will also recommend him to be an official and get rid of his slave status. "

As soon as this remark came out, Batu's group became excited again.

"Is what you said true? You can free our little master from slavery?"

"Of course. But I also said that the prerequisite is that you are all obedient and don't make trouble, and he is also able to make progress. Otherwise, the government will not waste a great opportunity to recommend someone who cannot be supported by mud." Cui Pu emphasized in a deep voice.

"No problem! We must be obedient and not make trouble! We will do whatever you ask us to do! The little master must be safe and motivated. He is the strongest and bravest little warrior in the tribe. Now he is in the Central Plains and he will not be bad! "

"That said, no matter where I arrange you, you will be obedient. It doesn't matter if you don't see your little master?" Cui Pu said again.

Batu and the others froze with excitement.But after thinking about it, they still gritted their teeth and nodded: "As long as we can be sure that the little master is safe and sound, you can tell us to do anything!"

"Well, you go back and prepare first. After your little master recovers from illness, I will arrange for you to leave Lingnan. From now on, you can send one person back to visit your little master every year, but only one person can come."

"no problem!"

Listening to what Cui Pu said before, they thought they would never see the little master again!But according to what he said now, they can still accompany the little master for a while now, and they can see the little master again every year in the future!Although they can only meet each other once, this is already much better than the life-separated picture they imagined at the beginning.

Hope comes after despair.They hastily agreed, and shouted that Cui Pu and his wife were sent by the shaman to redeem them, and they would definitely obey the shaman's will and serve them with peace of mind.

All right, why does this matter have something to do with Shaman again?
Cui Pu was puzzled.But anyway, this group of people chose to obey, so he was relieved and waved them back.

After the people left, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help frowning: "You plan to let them leave Lingnan? What do you want to do?"

"You also said that these people are masters in raising and taming horses, but the climate in Guangzhou is not suitable for raising horses. Putting so many people here is a huge reset and waste of human resources. Therefore, we only It is enough to keep one or two, and release the others, so that they can display their talents in a place that suits them." Cui Pu said.

Mu Jiaojiao immediately thought of it. "You want to open a horse farm?"

"As expected of my wife, you've figured out what you're thinking about your husband right away!" Cui Pu clapped his hands and laughed, "Didn't Brother San send me a letter a few days ago, saying that the atmosphere in Chang'an is becoming more and more treacherous?" The sage does not favor the three thousand beauties in the harem, and runs to the Taoist temple every day to have a tryst with the concubine Taizhen. The brothers have arranged a way out. It’s just that the eldest brother cannot leave because he is serving in the court, but the others are fine. The third brother wants to come to me, but there is really no suitable place for him around me, otherwise I would have called him here. Now , isn’t this an excellent opportunity? By the way, there are also father-in-law and brother-in-law, you just ask them to come too, don’t they just have too much money and no place to burn it?”

"You still plan to build two racecourses?" Knowing his thoughts, Mu Jiaojiao was shocked again.

"Of course!" Cui Pu nodded immediately, "I plan to build one in Guanzhong and one in Qilu. Both places will start with a small horse farm and then gradually expand the scale. With Dad's relationship in Chang'an, such an approval document is very important. It's easy to take down. It's just that I've been in the limelight recently. If I build a big one in one go, I will definitely be suppressed by others. Instead of this, it's better to pretend to be a small trouble and get away with it. etc. The third brother and father-in-law established a firm foothold in both places, and then they expanded the scope little by little. When those people found out again, the momentum was already unstoppable, and the effect of their suppression would be limited."

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched. "It's hard for you to come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds in such a short period of time."

"I can't help it. After being an official for so many years, I must improve a little bit!" Cui Pu laughed.

Mu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief: "However, your idea is not bad."

I have to say that she was once again shocked by the political sensitivity of the Cui family.

Although Anlu Mountain will take more than ten years to rebel, it will take no less than ten years to really raise a horse farm.Start now, the time is just right.And when the change happened, the racecourse just happened to be able to provide a large number of horses, which would be of great use on the battlefield!
The reason why Cui Pu is making such a plan now is because he is afraid that such a day will appear, right?

She never said a word to anyone about the future war, but these people had already guessed it, and started to make countermeasures more than ten years in advance.Such a keen mind is really astonishing!
"I knew it, lady, you must be on my side!" Hearing this, Cui Pu immediately put his arms around her and kissed her hard.

Mu Jiaojiao pursed his lips, and grabbed his ear with his backhand: "Tell me honestly, are you still determined to give up your dream of being shrouded in horse leather?"

"Uh, this... lady, let's have a good talk and don't touch your hands?" Cui Pu smirked, talking about him from left to right.

"Answer my question honestly first!" Mu Jiaojiao was not distracted by him.

Cui Pu could only answer honestly: "That's a little bit! But, go out and ask, which man doesn't have a great ambition to ride horses and swords and fight on the battlefield? I'm just thinking about it now. You know, it's just me Identity, how can I go to the battlefield!"

Not always.As long as you work harder, get a few more officials, and wait for the racecourse to be built, everything will be ready and you will only owe it to the wind.At that time, An Lushan will make trouble again, then everything will be logical!
But, how could she say such words?

Mu Jiaojiao let go of his hand and sighed weakly.

Cui Pu couldn't help trembling three times at her sigh.

"My lady, what's wrong with you? I don't seem to have said anything wrong!" He spoke cautiously, his eyes staring at Mu Jiaojiao even for a moment, lest he miss even the slightest trace of her expression.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. It's just a thought of some past events and a sudden emotion."

"So it's like this, that's good, that's good." Cui Pu patted his chest quickly.As long as she's not angry with him, then he can rest assured!
However, seeing Mu Jiaojiao's gloomy face, he still stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and lightly patted her on the shoulder a few times: "I know what you are worried about, but you are still gone now." What’s the matter! I’m just making some preparations based on my own judgment, so as to be prepared. If everything goes smoothly in the future, that’s good, our family will still live our lives in one place. We have already prepared for anything, and we will not be in a hurry when encountering situations."

"I understand what you mean." Mu Jiaojiao let out a light breath, and put his hands on his shoulders, "Maybe I'm too worried!"

"It's okay, I have everything!" Cui Pu hurriedly said, resting his chin on the top of her head, letting his warm breath surround her.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
