Chapter 2286: Horse racing girl Lu Lingqi, the strongest female general Zhu Rong
The emergence of horse racing and gambling horses is naturally the result of Ying Hao''s intentional promotion.
The Central Plains is not a grassland. Apart from aristocratic families, ordinary people cannot access horses, so it is naturally very difficult to build a horse industry chain and it is definitely not something that can be done in the short term. However, the financial affairs of the Qin Dynasty obviously do not allow it to be delayed for too long.
It is naturally a good thing to have more horse reserves, which represents the strength of the country''s national strength, but too much is not a good thing, and it will cause a burden on the country''s finances. After all, raising horses also requires money.
The amount of horse reserves in Daqin far exceeds the military''s digestive capacity. The military cannot digest so many horses, so the entire society must share the pressure, so that the horse industry chain can enter a virtuous cycle.
But the Han people, it’s okay to ask them to raise cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs, but raising horses to save them is blind.
Moreover, with the increasing strength of the Qin Dynasty, the growth of productivity is even more visible. Whether the people farm or work in other industries, they are not afraid of starving to death as long as they work hard. Why should they take the risk of engaging in newly emerging horse-related industries?
Ordinary people lack enthusiasm for engaging in the horse industry, and the families of the aristocratic families want to intervene, but Ying Hao has a very tight control over this, which definitely makes the emerging industry of the horse industry controlled by the aristocratic families.
But this is not a solution. If the people join in and share the interests of the aristocratic family, even if Ying Hao intentionally does it, this industry will sooner or later be controlled by the aristocratic family.
The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. - From "Records of the Grand Historian"
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people, Ying Hao launched the horse racing sport and gambling horses, and used huge experience and benefits to induce the people to actively participate in the horse industry chain.
Ying Hao established four ascendances to the Marseille of the Qin Dynasty, namely: county, county, prefecture and country.
Even in the county-level horse racing with the lowest level, if the horse racing can win, it will at least get a prize of ten thousand yuan, while the prize of the highest national-level horse racing is even as high as hundreds of gold.
Money is touching. Compared with the income from horse racing, the little expenditure of raising horses is simply not worth mentioning. How can this not make the people excited?
As for gambling, it makes gamblers all over the world go crazy. If you are lucky, you can really get rich overnight.
Driven by interests, a large number of people were invested in the horse industry, which quickly improved the horse industry chain of Daqin and avoided the control of the emerging industry by the aristocratic families.
After years of implementation of the horse government, Daqin finally improved the horse industry chain, making the horse industry embark on a virtuous industrial cycle.
Now let alone one million horses, even two million horses will not become a burden to the country, but will also bring huge economic benefits to the country.
Nowadays, the income of the horse industry alone accounts for 8% of the total national income, and it is still on a trend of continuing to rise, and horse racing has become the most popular sport.
In the east of Luoyang City, Yezhaoyu Racecourse was led by the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty, and jointly funded and built by the eight families of Mu, Yang, Zhou, Wang, Hao, Bai, Li and Shen. It is named after her husband Zhao Yun''s mount Yezhaoyu Lion.
From construction, maintenance, to holding events, event bonuses, taxes, etc., it costs a lot of money, even Ying Liangyu is unable to bear it alone.
Although Ying Liangyu''s in-laws'' family is rich, she is already married after all, and the Zhao family''s family is obviously not very strong.
At first, Zhao Yun was very puzzled about his wife''s desire to organize a horse farm. After all, although he and his wife have a high status, they do not have much wealth.
But when Ying Liangyu said that the horse farm was built to support the lord''s Ma Zheng, Zhao Yun immediately stopped talking and devoted all his property to the wife to build the horse farm.
But even so, it is still not enough to build the horse farm, so Ying Liangyu and Muyang and six other companies invested in it, which allowed enough funds to build the horse farm.
With the support of national policies, the development of the horse industry in the Qin Dynasty is a general trend, and horse farms of all sizes have been built across the country.
Shortly after Ying Liangyu''s horse farm was built, it became famous through several events, attracting horse racing from all over the world to come to the competition, and a large number of local people watched the competition. It was a huge fortune and a daily gain of gold.
After making money, Ying Liangyu began to expand the scale of Yezhaoyu Horse Farm, which has been expanded three times.
From the beginning, it could only accommodate up to 3,000 viewers, and now it can accommodate up to 15,000 viewers, but it is still a bit crowded.
The people''s madness towards horse racing and gambling has made the horse racing in which the horse racing season are not enough to sell tickets, even 15,000 seats are still not enough, so Qin Liangyu is ready to perform the fourth expansion.
There are eight horse farms like Yezhaoyu Horse Farm in Daqin.
As for the Marseille that is currently being held, it was named the "Shenwu Cup" by Ying Liangyu, and she also intends to make the "Shenwu Cup" the biggest horse racing event in the Qin Dynasty.
On the platform, Ying Liangyu looked at the horse farm below and the people shouting in the audience, feeling that all the efforts were worth it.
With the benefits brought by this horse venue, the Zhao family suddenly changed from being frugal to being the most wealthy family, and life was finally no longer a tight end.
"Your Highness, this is the list of this competition. Except for the top ten horses in Luoyang, the horses behind are all from all over the country."
Hearing this, Ying Liangyu took it and frowned slightly after taking it, and said to herself: "Why is that little girl Lu Lingqi coming again?"
Ying Liangyu likes Lu Lingqi very much and thinks she has the potential to become the commander of the Detachment of Women, but she doesn''t like her coming to her own horse farm, because her income from Marseille dropped by at least 30%.
This is simply a robbery, but Ying Liangyu couldn''t stop it because Lu Lingqi won the final one by one through regular channels.
If Lu Lingqi had let Chitu race at full speed from the beginning, her odds would not be that high. The outrageous thing was that she asked Chitu to keep running, but she could still easily run into the top three every time. By squeezing into the finals with this method, she would naturally not become a favorite to win the championship. When the finals were allowed Chitu to go all out to the finals, and she would spend a lot of money to buy high odds to win.
The horses that can reach the finals are all fast horses that can be picked one in a hundred or even one in a thousand. But even so, it is impossible to run over the Red Rabbit at the Horse King level. Lu Lingqi contracted the championship in advance.
Lu Lingqi had already succeeded once before, and now she is going to come for the second time. How could Ying Liangyu bear it?
"Come on, go and reduce the odds of rider No. 9 from 1:7 to 1:3."
Although Ying Liangyu could not stop Lu Lingqi from participating in the competition, she could artificially regulate her odds to reduce the losses on the horse farm.
At this time, Lu Lingqi was already on the court, thinking about how to spend the winning bonus. She had no idea that her odds had been reduced by Ying Liangyu''s use of the rules. If she knew, she would definitely shout for cheating.
Lu Lingqi is sure to win this competition. After all, with the speed of Chitu, she dare not say that she swept the world''s famous horses. At least none of the horses present was an opponent, so she spent a lot of money to buy and win by herself, most of which were borrowed from someone.
A young lady like Lu Lingqi is naturally not short of money. The reason why she "borrowed" her father''s Chitu to participate in the competition was mainly because she wanted to help her father after winning the prize.
During the Guanzhong War, Lu Bu was ambushed by Li Shimin, and many cavalry under his command were killed or injured.
Although the soldiers who died in battle received pensions, Lu Bu felt that this time it was her fault, so he paid out of his own pocket to subsidize the soldiers'' families. This also caused the Lu family to fall into a financial crisis again, which made Lu Lingqi "borrow" the horses to participate in the competition again and earn bonuses to subsidize the family.
In fact, if Lu Bu wants to make money, there are actually many ways, such as agreeing to borrow seeds from Chitu. After the interest in the horse racing industry, after the aristocratic families realized the interests of the horse industry, many aristocratic families with strong capital joined in. Unlike ordinary horse households, they could only rely on themselves to raise horses and train horses, and they set their sights on those famous horses that have become famous.
The better the famous horse is, the better the offspring will be, and most of these famous horses are in the hands of the powerful generals.
For a powerful general, a mount is the second life, and it is impossible to buy a famous horse, so the better way for a noble family is to borrow seeds.
Let those famous horses be used as stallions and mate with their own mares, thereby optimizing their bloodline, giving birth to excellent young horses, and training them to become horse racing.
Famous horses such as Lu Bu''s Red Rabbit, Zhao Yun''s Night Zhao Yu Lion, Qin Qiong''s Hu Lei Leopard, Li Cunxiao''s Flame Horse, etc. are all the best stallions in the eyes of the aristocratic families. They even spend thousands of money to borrow, and this is just the money they borrowed from once.
Are all the aristocratic families stupid? So much money is spent to borrow crops for horses?
Of course they are not stupid, but they are still very smart. The reason why they are willing to give so much is because they know they will get greater rewards.
As long as they can successfully borrow seeds and get young horses of famous horse blood, they can cultivate more high-quality horses and make money for them continuously. This is an investment that will benefit generations.
Like Zhao Yun''s night-shot jade lion, when he was not fighting, he mateted with 155 mares in a year, becoming the most popular stallion with the largest number of breeds in the Qin Dynasty, earning tens of thousands of gold for the Zhao family.
Of course, once Ye Zhaoyu''s bloodline is out of place and is no longer unique, the cost of mateing with seeds will naturally decrease.
The night-zhao jade lion is not the stallion with the most mating. It is said that Cao Cao, the mount of Wei Gong, Huang Feidian, mates with more than 260 mares a year at most. This shows how much money Cao Cao is short of.
But some generals are unwilling to do this kind of good thing that is almost the same as giving money. It is not that they are stupid, but that they also realize the value of their own love of horses, so they naturally do not want their love of horses to flow out.
For example, Lu Bu, even if the Lu family is poor, he is almost unable to get out of the way, and he does not agree to let the Red Rabbit borrow seeds, just that he is not like the Red Rabbit''s bloodline.
"Chibudhu, you will definitely perform well later. After you win, you will be able to eat enough carrots."
Lu Lingqi stroked Chitu''s neck and murmured softly in her ears, while the psychic Chitu let out a long roar, her eyes full of invincible expression, as if she was extremely disdainful of her opponent on the horse court.
"Okay, the No. 13 racehorse racer is now on: Mebai McQueen. This racehorse is quite famous. It is the descendant of His Majesty''s mount, the Snow Dragon Cat, and its rider is the famous female God of Wealth, Miss Ye Qingmei..."
Me Bai McQueen didn''t call this name at first, but it was changed by Ying Hao after she gave it to Ye Qingmei.
In addition, Ye Qingmei also named Xue Longju''s other descendants: Golden Boat, Flying on Grass, Rice Bath, etc.
Ying Hao naturally had no objection to this, after all, it was just the name of the horse.
Looking at Ye Qingmei riding a white horse on the field, a flame ignited in Lu Lingqi''s eyes. This woman was her strong rival, whether it was a horse racing or anything else.
Ye Qingmei didn''t care about Lu Lingqi''s hostility, but instead greeted her with a smile, but Lu Lingqi proudly replied to the back of her head.
Soon, the competition began, Chitu and Megumi Makki rushed out almost at the same time, and the speed became faster and faster, leaving the rest of the horses behind, and the distance was getting bigger and bigger, and he really took the lead and lost all the horses.
The audience in the audience were shocked. They couldn''t believe that the No. 9 horse racing was so fast, but they felt that this scene was a little familiar.
Soon some viewers realized that this was the "Red Fire Flying Dragon" who won the championship twice by changing his name and retaining his strength.
Familiar appearance and familiar routines. After a year and a half, the nightmare in the hearts of horse gamblers has come back again.
The gamblers who felt deceived shouted, "Scammers, liars..."
Lu Lingqi was not affected at all, and continued to ride the horse and whip it. Finally, she threw away Mubai McQueen in the second half and won the championship of the "Shenwu Cup".
In the audience, Zhu Rong, who bought the No. 4 horse racing, was completely stunned at this time.
Cuiyu has been preparing for this horse bet for a long time. After multiple analysis, she came to the safest conclusion to buy No. 4, so she spent tens of millions of yuan to buy No. 4 to win, but she never expected that she would win the championship in the 9th.
"No, my analysis was wrong. Not only did No. 4 not win the championship, but he was not even second place." Zhu Rong murmured to herself. At this time, she suddenly remembered the advice given to her by an old gambler when she was placing a bet.
Child, listen to my uncle''s advice, the water in the betting horse is very deep and you can''t grasp it.
At this time, Zhu Rong only felt that the old gambler was too right.
"Young Master, what should I do now? The money you bet on horses is used to sell arms with Qin." Xian Chan asked with a sad face.
Zhu Rong endured the aggrievance in his heart, snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, but for a mere 10,000 yuan, I can earn it back in a minute."
“How to make money?”
After hearing this, Zhu Rong began to think about it, and then his eyes fell on Xian Gan and began to look up and down, making Xian Gan feel uncomfortable all over.
"Young Master, what do you want to do?"
"Gan''er, I''ll let you down first."

"Come and take a look, don''t miss it if you pass by..."
Streets of Luoyang.
Zhurong stood on the ring with a gong in his arms, with the four big words "Martial Competition and Martial Arts and Recruiting Kiss" written behind him.
Xian Chan sat in the chair with no desire to be happy. She was the target of Zhurong’s competition for martial arts and marriage, and martial arts competition for martial arts is the way Zhurong makes money.
