"Of course, I have already received the order from the Governor's Office."
After the county magistrate said this, he suddenly understood.
"I understand."
"Is Liu Feng, a villager from Xiaohe Village, here?"
"Sir, I am here."
Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his difficulty was finally over.
Responded quickly.
"After careful consideration, this officer has concluded that this case has nothing to do with you."
"In recognition of your superior horse breeding skills, I, in accordance with the orders of the Governor's Office, order you to build a horse farm in Siwa Village to breed war horses for the court. You must do so without error."
"There are still over 300 fine horses at the county horse ranch. I'll hand them over to you. According to the governor's order, I'll give you 30 taels of silver per month for fodder."
"Also, if you can successfully breed a warhorse, you'll be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you can raise a warhorse that's fit for battle, you'll be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and so on."
No way?
Do you really want to raise horses yourself?
This is a good job.
In ancient times, owning a horse farm meant being a wealthy landlord.
Liu Feng was ecstatic. Raising military horses was a good job. He could make a lot of money from various rewards and fodder subsidies.
You know, if Monkey King raises horses, he will cause chaos in the Heavenly Palace. If he raises horses, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Such incredible wealth must be seized.
"I, Liu Feng, would like to thank the Lord Qingtian for his trust."
Seeing that Liu Feng was safe, Warden Chen waved his hand and several yamen runners hurried forward to open Liu Feng's shackles. Warden Chen stepped forward, showing his big white teeth and grinning, then put the brocade bag in Liu Feng's hand.
"Master Chen, are the items here really that important?"
"Haha, kid, don't ask me, I don't know."
"I don't have the guts to look at it. Looking at this thing will cost you your head."
Warden Chen pulled Liu Feng aside. He knew a little about some things, but only the basics.
Besides, some things cannot be said.
Now, only Wang Changsheng was left kneeling on the ground, trembling.
The county magistrate was so angry when he saw this guy.
"Wang Changsheng, you are so bold as to falsely accuse a fellow villager. Do you acknowledge your guilt?"
"As the head of a village, instead of recommending talented people, you resort to accusations out of jealousy."
"If I forgive you today, people will think I'm a corrupt official if word gets out."
"Come here, hold Wang Changsheng down and give him a hundred strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
"Also, Liu Feng is now building a horse farm in Siwa Village, so he will take over the position of village chief."
When Wang Changsheng heard that not only would he be beaten with a stick 100 times, but he would also be stripped of his position as village chief, he was dumbfounded.
I originally spent money to eliminate the hidden danger of Liu Feng, but in the end I ended up losing everything?
"Sir, please spare my life..."
"Sir, I am wronged."
Wang Changsheng was really anxious.
He knelt in the hall and kowtowed like crazy, his forehead was rotten, bleeding and crying, but he still begged for mercy.
But when the light wooden board in the hall fell to the ground with a bang, Wang Changsheng's fate was already sealed.
He was dragged out from both sides by two yamen runners and the execution began on a long wooden bench in the yard.
How could Wang Changsheng, who was already injured, endure such torture? After a few blows, Wang Changsheng was howling like a ghost, his skin was torn and he fainted while screaming.
If this goes on, Wang Changsheng will only be half alive when he returns.
Liu Feng arrived at the horse breeding site of the county government office and saw more than 300 war horses neatly arranged in the neat stables.
Military horses were originally raised by the imperial court's Military Horse Department, but now that the war has reached the border of Youzhou, in order to preserve this last important tax and military base, the emperor of the Dali Dynasty ordered all military horses in the country to be concentrated in Youzhou.
Youzhou gathered a large number of war horses, some of which had already gone to the battlefield, and the rest were either in poor condition or injured on the battlefield, so they were distributed to various counties for breeding.
Once the war horses are well-raised, they will all be sent to the battlefield.
Liu Feng could see clearly that these war horses were extremely skinny and the grass they ate was very ordinary.
It was obvious that the money for subsidized fodder was embezzled by the county magistrate.
Seeing these malnourished military horses, Chen Dianyu felt very distressed.
"How can such a force of horses compete with the Northern Barbarians on the battlefield?"
"Master Chen, these horses may look frail, but they still have strong foundations. As long as we put in the effort, they will be able to ride on the battlefield in no time."
"Liu Feng, as far as I know, His Majesty has ordered the first female general of Dali to lead the Fengling Army to the border of Youzhou. With the Fengling Army stationed there, Youzhou can rest assured."
"Fengling Army?"
"Yes, the Fengling Army and the Chiyu General were both named by His Majesty?"
Akabane?
Liu Feng was even more puzzled. A woman, and the first female general of the Dali Dynasty?
"You don't know that General Akabane is a skilled warrior. Everyone in the world only knows General Akabane, but no one has ever known his real name."
"When I was serving on the battlefield, I only saw General Akabane once from a distance."
"At that time, she was only sixteen years old, but she was already a general of the Fengling Army."
"I remember she was wearing blue armor with red decorations on her shoulders, but the cape behind her was pure white, and the red feathers on her head symbolized supreme power."
"Since ancient times, men have gone to war and women have stayed at home."
"But General Akabane is as brave as any man."
"Holding two Miao Daos, even I can't help but feel terrified when I see him."
Chen Dianyu kept reminiscing and patted Liu Feng on the shoulder after he finished speaking.
"You are young and have good martial arts skills. If you work hard, you may be able to join the Fengling Army."
