Chapter 309 Arabian Horse

Since Marin officially ate Angela, her heart was like casting a little demon. In the past, Marin often worked very late. In fact, it was not that Marin was really busy, but that Angela, a little beauty, could not eat it before, which made Marin a little depressed. Therefore, she deliberately used her work every day to divert her attention.

Every day when he returned to the backyard of the palace, Marin was sleepy. He usually held Angela and fell asleep directly after getting addicted to it.

Now that he has officially eaten Angela, he doesn't need to control himself. So, now when it comes to get off work hours at night, Marin hurriedly returns to the living area of ​​the palace's front yard to find Angela to rub against it...

Angela is shy and always looks like she wants to refuse but still welcomes her, which further stimulates the desire in Marlin's heart... So, Marlin plays and sings every night every day...

You know, Angela is in her best years of 18 years old. In addition, she is beautiful and has fair skin and beautiful appearance, which attracts Marin. Marin was 28 years old in her previous life, and she has not married yet, so she can only rely on the fifth girl. Now, there is a genuine and beautiful girl who can do whatever she wants, how can she bear it?

So, after a few months, Marin clearly felt that his steps were a little sluggish...

After all, Marin was not a fierce man like Adler, and his body was thin. He had over-conquered over the past month, so he was naturally a little weak...

Angela, who looks slim and delicate, is becoming more and more energetic...

"Sure enough, there are only exhausted cows, and no broken land..."

For health, Malin rubbed his waist, ran to the palace clinic, and asked a Mongolian doctor to prescribe tonic...

However, Bartel smiled and told Marin that this is a normal phenomenon. Young people who have just come into contact with this kind of thing will inevitably have some ecstasy and are prone to over-conquering. But after a long time, after two or three months, they will not be so impulsive. At that time, the couple's life will enter a normal pattern, and this situation will not occur. Of course, during this period, it is necessary to make up for it to avoid being weak.

Then, at Bater's suggestion, Marin began to use some food supplement ingredients, such as bullwhip, leeks, etc. Originally, Bater wanted Marin to eat wolfberry and make mutton, but Europe did not have wolfberry.

However, Europeans do not eat such organs as animals. When Kohler learned that Marin wanted to eat a bullwhip, his expression was as weird as it was. Then, many bulls raised as beef cattle were miserable and were whipped... It was not right. These bulls were cut off after they were slaughtered. In the past, the bullwhip was thrown away directly. Now Kohler secretly sent someone to collect it and send it to Batel. After Batel handled it, he stewed it with herbal ingredients and then gave it to Malin so that things would not be rumored...

In order not to lose weight at a young age, Marin began to resume exercise and martial arts practice. However, the Orich Palace was too small and it was OK to use it for a round. If you want to contact Marin, Marin had to go to the horse farm in the north of the city.

When Marin arrived at the horse farm to practice his horse martial arts, he happened to meet Kohler's subordinates who sent a batch of Arab stallions...

This batch of Arab stallions was commissioned by Kerr's subordinates to Jewish merchants. The Jews wandered between Europe and the Arabs and were important intermediaries between Europeans and Arabs.

At present, Turkey has a very bad relationship with the Europeans due to the problems of Constantinople and the Balkans, and the two sides have no cooperation. However, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt still has many trade opportunities with Europe. Moreover, Jerusalem, the holy land in the hearts of Europeans, is also under the control of the Mamluk dynasty. If you want to go to a pilgrimage, you need the consent of the Mamluk dynasty. Therefore, the relationship between the Europeans and the Mamluk dynasty is not good, but it is not bad. Jewish merchants also wander between Europe and the area controlled by the Mamluk dynasty.

The batch of Arab stallions that Marin wanted was purchased by Jewish merchants from the Mamluk Dynasty, an authentic Arab horse from the Arabian Peninsula.

In fact, in the Arabian Peninsula, Arab horses are not worth anything at all. Even an excellent Arab war horse can only cost 20 gold coins per. Unlike in Europe, a casual war horse costs 100 gold coins or even more.

It’s no wonder that many tribes in the Arab era were still in nomadic era, with so many horses and camels. How can so many horses be sold at high prices?

Those Jewish merchants bullied Marin and did not understand the market. The Arab stallion, which obviously did not exceed 20 gold coins per, asked Marin for 100 gold coins per. These 50 Arab stallions directly blackmailed Marin for 5,000 gold coins.

Marin knew very well, but he didn't care much. It was just a batch of only 50 horses, so there was no need to turn against those Jewish merchants for this. However, this also strengthened Marin's determination to form his own chamber of commerce in the future and run the Egyptian trade routes by himself.

In this era, Barbary pirates had not yet emerged, and it was still safe to walk in the Southern Mediterranean. Only the coastal areas of Morocco need to be careful to guard against the Moorish pirates officially supported by Morocco.

However, if you use a level 250 armed merchant ship, two or three ships will definitely not be afraid of any pirates. Egypt produces a lot of horses, and natural soda ash and Glauber's salt. These are all needed by Marin in large quantities. Before, Marin entrusted Venetians and Jews to help buy them, but they were actually severely exploited. Therefore, Marin planned to hire a group of people in the future to specialize in this route.

Although he extorted Marin a sum of money, the Arab horses selected by the Jewish merchants were still very good. After all, in this era, people who know horses were everywhere. If Jewish merchants randomly chose some inferior horses to fool Marin, they would be prepared to be retaliated.

These Arab horses are very beautiful and bold. When Marin went to see those Arab horses, the lively Arab horses all stared at Marin curiously. If it weren't for being wrapped in reins, perhaps those curious Arab horses would come up to smell the smell of Marin, and maybe even Marin...

These Arabian horses are generally not tall, with shoulder heights generally only about 1.5 meters. If they are mares, they may be even lower, with shoulder heights of only over 1.4 meters. Unlike local European knights, they often have shoulder heights of more than 1.6 meters, and many stallions reach shoulder heights of more than 1.7 meters.

However, as a war horse, only those who need to wear full-body armor need to be so tall and strong. If they carry light cavalry, medium-sized horses like Arabian horses are just right.

However, Marin did not intend to use Arab horses as war horses directly. Because there is an important problem with Arab horses, that is, fear of the cold...

Purebred Arabian horses, born in the Arabian Peninsula, lived in tropical desert areas since childhood, are heat-resistant but not cold-resistant, and are passionate horses.

Marin clearly remembered that after the introduction of Arab horses, some local tyrants in the north would lock the Arab horses in a heated house to prevent the cold every winter. Unlike Mongolian horses, they still stayed in the horse shed in a cold weather, and there was nothing to do.

If the Arabian horse is placed in a place where the temperature is as low as minus tens of degrees in winter like Siberia or Mongolian Plateau, purebred Arabian horses have a high probability of freezing to death.

Even if western Europe is not very cold in winter, it can sometimes be as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, Arabian horses will be very uncomfortable.

Therefore, this time, Marin did not intend to introduce a mare at all, but directly introduced stallions to breed...

This is because although foals inherit many of the characteristics of their fathers, their physical characteristics are closer to their mothers. Therefore, when talking about bloodlines, horses often refer to mares first.

Mares are cold-resistant, and foals are mostly cold-resistant. However, they can also inherit many of the advantages of their father...

Therefore, when Europeans began to breed horse breeds in the 18th and 19th centuries, they chose to use local excellent mares that are suitable for the local area and excellent stallions introduced from abroad for breeding to cultivate new horse breeds with high quality and adapt to the local climate.

Based on this concept, Marin commissioned Jewish merchants to go to the Arabian Peninsula to buy 50 Arab stallions to breed local mares.

In the previous battle of Lyre County, Marin seized a total of 2,600 Saxony horses. Among them, more than 500 mares. Including his previous 30 French horses, Marin now has nearly 600 mares.

If all of them are used for breeding, this group of 50 Arab stallions has an average of 12 wives per horse...

An Arab stallion had to deal with 12 mares... Thinking of this, Marin smiled obscenely...

Even Angela made her waist sore. If she served 12 women, wouldn’t she foam? Then, he looked at the 50 horses with sympathy:

"Young guys, don't be excited. I will use 12 horses with a height of 12 (which is quite reasonable. Marin seized the horses and horses, including the French mares before, with no shoulder heights below 1.6 meters, and they are more than 10 cm taller than these Arab stallions) to squeeze your hair dry..."

After saying that, regardless of whether these lively and active Arab stallions could understand or not, they whistled happily and left...
