    "A big village must have at least a hundred people and hundreds of acres of fertile land. Just horses are not enough." Dalang said.

    In his heart, he actually didn¡¯t have too many extravagant hopes for this big village.  After all, there are hundreds of people and hundreds of acres of fertile land, which is not easy to achieve.  Not to mention anything else, just reaching a hundred people is a big deal. Even if we can randomly pick people back, there is no guarantee that everyone will be good citizens, let alone that everyone is willing to work together to build Luwei Village.  .

    Besides, you still don¡¯t know how to feed so many people?

    Now outsiders in Luwei Village can feed themselves because the people who come from outside all bring food. Otherwise, it would be good to just rely on the little food they harvest. How can we feed so much more?  people.

    And although Luwei Village is large in scope, if you want to open up thousands of acres of fertile farmland, your power must expand outwards, and you can't just open up land near the village.  After all, reeds are the main species here, so we can¡¯t dig out all the reeds, and there is still water in many places.  How could it all be turned into fertile land?

    In fact, if the village is like it is now, and a few families can continue to operate it for a long time, in ten or eight years, the population of the village will naturally increase. There will be many boys in their teens. After getting married and having children, the population will increase.  More.  However, he knew very well that this possibility was unlikely.  Anyone who needs to leave will still leave.  However, he is very satisfied as it is now.  After all, I have a house, fields, horses and food.

    "Are you stupid? Why can't we have horses? Why do we have to open up hundreds of acres of fertile land? We might as well raise horses, raise a hundred and eighty, and trade the horses for food." Xinhu took the opportunity to propose himself  I have thought about the idea of ??raising horses for a living many times.

    "Raising horses?" Dalang's eyes lit up and his heartbeat immediately accelerated.

    He only thought about having a lot of fields, but he didn¡¯t think about it. Farming is not the only way to feed the population.  Horses are considered precious items, and the price of a horse is not cheap, at least twenty or thirty taels of silver.  In the eyes of ordinary people, an income of twenty or thirty taels of silver is something that they dare not even think about.

    "Yeah, you've seen it too. Horses eat reeds. We have just reeds here, and the horses can eat them as much as they want. One hundred and eighty horses can't eat them all." Xinhu said, striking while the iron is hot.

    Not to mention farming is really hard work. I get up early every day and stay late at night. Especially in the summer, I have to go to the fields to work even though I am half-baked to death. I also rely on the weather for food.  It was a drought this year, so we managed to keep the harvest thanks to everyone's hard work in watering.

    If there is a flood next year, it will be useless to have more manpower then.  The terrain of the entire Luwei Village is not high, and it belongs to the lake area. It is surrounded by wetlands on all sides. When the water comes together, it will be completely flooded. The only high ground is the hillside behind the village. By then, everyone is afraid that even everyone will be affected.  All moved to higher ground to settle down.  If this happens, when there is no harvest in the fields, what will a large village of people eat?

    But raising horses is different. There are reed forests everywhere and there are many wild grasses. The horses can eat whatever they want, and there is no need for too much manpower to take care of the horses.  Horses are not only strategic materials, but also an essential means of transportation for home travel.  Just like a modern car.  What man doesn¡¯t want to own a car? Not only men, but women too.  Xinhu loves cars very much.

    ¡° Take everyone in Luwei Village as an example, who doesn¡¯t like horses? Men, women, old and young all like horses. Horses are a necessity in everyone¡¯s life.  Although most people in this era did not own horses, their living standards and comfort were correspondingly lower.  This is really the same as modern people buying cars.

    Why don¡¯t rich people buy one or two cars to make it easier for them to go out on their own?  Even if people in Luwei Village can produce their own food, they still have to go out and buy some daily necessities, such as salt, oil, etc.  It's so convenient to have a horse. Riding a horse is much faster than walking. Moreover, the horse can carry heavy objects without the need for people to carry them on their own.  Therefore, Xinhu has always believed that raising horses is more cost-effective than farming.  At this moment, I couldn't help but list the advantages of raising horses and compare them with the disadvantages of farming, hoping to convince Dalang.

    "You have a good idea." Dalang stood up and walked around the room excitedly.

    He likes horses very much. Horses can also do a lot of work, and it is uncomfortable to go out without a horse.  However, although Xinhu¡¯s idea is good, how to implement it is not easy.  Horses have always been controlled by the government and cannot be traded casually.  There are rules for how many horses a certain kind of family can own.  Of course, selling horses is even more controlled by the government.  Even large-scale horse farms must have official background to operate.  But the government actually needs horses very much, especially during times of war, when horses become even more precious.

    Thinking like this, Dalang calmed down and said, "Don't talk to anyone about this matter yet. We have to plan slowly."

    "Why???, he hurriedly went to Mr. Xie and Jiang Dashan to discuss it.

    Neither Mr. Xie nor Jiang Dashan cared much.

    Mr. Xie said: "Don't worry, no one is here to care about it now. Besides, I can still raise a few horses."

    "That's right, we have thought about these things a long time ago. They will not bring trouble to the village." Jiang Dashan comforted.

    With his body, of course he can also own a horse.  Besides, there are two Jizi in the village who can also own horses.  A division of seventy-seven or eighty-eight has just over twenty horses, that¡¯s about it.  Although rules are dead, people are alive. At this time, who would really take it seriously?  Besides, they have so many adult men with strong martial arts skills, and their combined force value is already very terrifying.  As long as there are not tens of thousands of soldiers coming, just dozens or hundreds of people who want to come to Luwei Village to cause trouble, I will keep them safe so that they never come back.

    Dalang didn¡¯t say any more. He knew very well that Mr. Xie and Jiang Dashan must have good status. With them at the front, he wouldn¡¯t worry about it.

    Dalang felt relieved and went back to the house to look around. He didn't see Xin Hu, so he quickly went out to look for it.

    Finally, he found her in the open space behind the courtyard. "What are you doing? Go inside quickly. It's not cold outside." Dalang shouted, running over to pull her. As soon as his hand touched Xinhu's, she was cold  My hands are busy and the ice has arrived.

    "Okay, okay. Don't be angry anymore, look at you, you're almost frozen to ice." Dalang coaxed, covering Xin Hu's hand in his palm, bringing it to his mouth to breathe in the heat.

    At this moment, Xin Hu was still a little touched in his heart. Dalang was actually quite caring about others. His dissatisfaction with Dalang just now was immediately wiped away.

    "I won't talk about you anymore. If you don't like the soles of your shoes, just don't accept them. Anyway, there are more women in the village now. I'll ask them to do it for us. If it doesn't work, it's the same as going out to buy it." Dalang babbled, not yet  Forgetting to cover Xin Hu's hand, he went to cover the other.

    When he said this, Xin Hu felt embarrassed.  In fact, she had already figured it out that she shouldn't lose her temper with Dalang. No matter what, she was still an adult, so why should she lose her temper with a child?

    Back in the house, Dalang hurriedly brought hot tea and said, "Drink some hot water first to warm yourself up." Then he hurriedly added a handful of firewood to the kang hole and burned the house.  It must be warm.

    Xin Hu¡¯s body, which had been freezing cold, quickly warmed up. Xin Hu sighed comfortably, looked at Da Lang¡¯s concerned eyes, closed his eyes in embarrassment, and said, ¡°I want to take a nap.¡±

    Dalang walked around the room for a few steps worriedly, and then said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry about it and make yourself nervous. I will never say that to you again."

    Xin Hu laughed at himself in his heart, and didn't want a child to worry about him, so he nodded.  Dalang breathed a sigh of relief.  He was still a little afraid of Xin Hu's anger.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
