Chapter 370 Updating Equipment

Shi Huai ate the carrot in his hand and said, "It tastes good. No wonder the horses like to eat it. Did you grow it?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "Well, I grow some vegetables on the land at home. I wanted to ask you how much land area is needed to grow alfalfa."

Shi Huai: "You want to grow alfalfa, but this kind of grass is not easy to get."

Xia Wanniang: "I know. I'm planning to order a batch of horses. If they all rely on buying grass or eating soybeans and carrots, I'm afraid it won't work. I thought it would be good to grow some alfalfa."

Shi Huai looked at the horses in the stable and said, "You only have five horses here, so you don't need to grow alfalfa specifically. It will be enough to grow some in the horse farm."

Xia Wanniang: "It's not prepared for them, but for the government office and the soldiers guarding the city."

Shi Huai was a little surprised: "Are you buying horses for them?"

"Yes, so we need a lot of grass." Xia Wanniang said with a smile.

Shi Huai thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to grow alfalfa, but I'm afraid there isn't enough land in the village to grow it on such a large scale. You may need to go and see the county magistrate."

Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll have to trouble Old Man Shi to teach them how to plant, harvest and dry the crops."

Shi Huai readily agreed: "These are all small matters."

Xia Wanniang asked Chai Song to find Xu Li and talk to him about horses and pasture, as well as her plan to plant alfalfa on a large scale.

When Chai Song came back, he brought her the land deed, which was outside the large livestock trading area and covered an area of ​​about two hundred acres.

This area is enough for Xia Wanniang to use.

She has to go to the government office tomorrow, so she has to deliver the horse to him.

Shi Huai personally went to see the 200 acres of land and put forward his own suggestions.

Xia Wanniang started to hire someone to do the sorting according to his suggestion. If it couldn't be completed before winter, she could only ask Yin Yuanxun and others to help look after it.

Xu Li waited for her at the government office until the evening when he saw her coming: "I thought you were not coming today."

"I can't conjure up a horse for you in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that the people in the yamen will become suspicious?" Xia Wanniang said that she was also helpless.

Xu Li thought about it and took her to the stable. Although there were many horses here before, it was still empty.

Xia Wanniang looked at the situation in the stable and asked: "Have you told Banyan?"

Xu Li: "Yes, he knows you want to replace their equipment. He is so happy that he has even cleared out a lot of warehouses today. He will be waiting for us there in person."

Xia Wanniang didn't waste any time and put more than a dozen horses into the stable.

These horses are not top-quality horses, but they are good enough for the yamen runners to travel. However, they are still good horses.

Xu Li looked at the horse that suddenly appeared in the stable and said, "Your ability is too amazing. Can it turn into money? I don't want to struggle anymore."

Xia Wanniang rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I could turn it into money, why would I work so hard to open a shop?"

Xu Li raised his hands to cover his face: "What a pity."

Xia Wanniang really didn't want to talk, so she prepared all the food and fodder for them, and then went with him to find Banyan.

Banyan had been waiting outside the military camp warehouse. When he saw the two people coming, he hurried to greet them.

Xia Wanniang looked at the storehouse and stable behind Banyan and said, "No one is there!"

Porphyry nodded: "No one, I sent them all away."

Xia Wanniang: "You guys should go too. Just come here tomorrow morning. From now on, you city guards will be responsible for the area where alfalfa is planted."

Banyan: "Okay, I will arrange it." After saying that, he didn't ask any questions and took Xu Li away.

Xia Wanniang walked into their warehouse and took a look. There were still quite a few weapons and armors piled up inside, but most of them were damaged over time.

She raised her hand and collected the scraps of copper and iron. These things could be exchanged for a lot of other things.

The new armor and weapons and equipment were piled up in the warehouse, and they should be able to change into new equipment tomorrow.

There are quite a few horses in the stables here, but some of them are also old and can only do simple things now and can no longer run.

She replaced all the horses and increased the number several times to ensure that they would not be without horses when needed.

They were also provided with sufficient food and fodder.

Xia Wanniang looked around again, and when she saw anything that needed updating, she updated it for them.
