Ever since Marin officially ate Angela, it was like casting a little devil in his heart. In the past, Marin often worked late. In fact, it wasn't that Marin was really busy, but that Angela, a little beauty, couldn't eat just by looking at it, which made Marin a little depressed. That's why I deliberately use work to divert my attention every day.
Every day when he returned to the backyard of the palace, Marin was rather sleepy. He usually held Angela in his arms, and fell asleep directly after a hand addiction.
Now that he has officially eaten Angela, he doesn't need to control himself. So, now when it's time to get off work at night, Marin hurriedly returns from the office area in the front yard of the palace to the living area in the backyard, and rubs against Angela...
Angela is shy and shy, and always looks like she wants to refuse or welcome, which stimulates the desire in Marin's heart even more... So, every day, Marin sings and sings every night...
You know, Angela is the best age of 18 years old, plus she is beautiful, fair-skinned and beautiful, which attracts Marin very much. Marin was 28 years old in his previous life, and he hadn't married a wife yet, so he could only rely on the fifth girl. Nowadays, there is a real beautiful girl who can do whatever she wants, how can she bear it
So, after a few months, Marin obviously felt that his footsteps were a little vain...
After all, Marin was not a strong man like Adler, and his body was already thin and weak. The conquest has been excessive for more than a month, so it is naturally a bit false...
On the contrary, Angela, who looks slender and delicate, is becoming more and more energetic...
"Sure enough, there are only exhausted cows and no plowed land..."
For the sake of health, Marin rubbed his waist, ran to the palace medical clinic, and went to the Mongolian doctor to prescribe tonic prescriptions...
However, Battelle told Marin with a smile that this is normal. Young people who have just come into contact with this kind of thing will inevitably have a bit of taste and taste, and they are prone to excessive conquest. But after a long time, after two or three months, I am not so impulsive. At that time, the married life will enter a normal pattern, and such a situation will not appear. Of course, during this period of time, it is still necessary to make up, so as not to be empty.
Then, under Battelle's suggestion, Marin started to use some food supplement materials. For example, bullwhip, leeks and so on. Originally, Battelle wanted Marin to eat mutton with goji berries, but there were no goji berries in Europe.
It's just that Europeans don't eat such organs of animals. When Kohler learned that Marin was going to eat the bullwhip, his expression was as weird as it could be. Then, many bulls that were raised as beef cattle suffered miserably, and were whipped... Not right, these bulls were slaughtered before being whipped. In the past, the bullwhip was just thrown away. Now, Kohler quietly sent someone to collect them and send them to Battelle. After Battelle handled them, he stewed them with the ingredients himself, and then sent them to Marin, so as not to spread the rumors...
In order not to lose his health at a young age, Marin resumed his exercise and martial arts. However, the Aurich Palace is too small, and it can be used for running circles. Wanting to contact horse martial arts, Marin had to go to the horse farm in the north of the city.
When Marin arrived at the horse farm to practice horse martial arts, he happened to meet a group of Arabian stallions sent by Kohler's men...
These Arabian stallions were entrusted by Kohler's men to Jewish businessmen. The Jews wandered between the Europeans and the Arabs, and were an important intermediary between the Europeans and the Arabs.
Right now, Turkey has a very bad relationship with Europeans because of the problems of Constantinople and the Balkan Peninsula, and there is little cooperation between the two sides. However, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt still had 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 on a pilgrimage, you need the consent of the Mamluk dynasty. Therefore, the relationship between Europeans and the Mamluk dynasty is not good, but it is not bad either. Jewish merchants also traveled between Europe and areas controlled by the Mamluk dynasty.
The batch of Arabian stallions that Marin wanted were authentic Arabian horses from the Arabian Peninsula bought by Jewish businessmen from the Mamluk dynasty.
In fact, in the Arabian Peninsula, Arabian horses are not worth much at all. Even an excellent Arabian war horse costs only 20 gold coins. Unlike in Europe, a war horse would cost 100 gold coins or more.
It's no wonder that many tribes of the Arabs were still nomadic in this era, and there were too many horses and camels. So many horses, how to sell at a high price
Those Jewish businessmen bullied Marin, who didn't understand the market, and asked Marin 100 gold coins for an Arabian stallion that obviously didn't exceed 20 gold coins. These 50 Arabian stallions directly extorted 5,000 gold coins from Marin.
Marin knew it very well in his heart, but he didn't care too much. It is only a batch of 50 horses, so there is no need to turn against those Jewish businessmen for this. However, this also strengthened Marin's determination to form his own chamber of commerce in the future and run the Egyptian business route by himself.
In this era, the Barbary pirates had not yet risen, and armed merchant ships were still safe in the southern Mediterranean. Only the coastal areas of Morocco need to pay attention to the Moorish pirates officially supported by Morocco.
However, if you use a 250-level armed merchant ship, two or three ships together will definitely not be afraid of any pirates. Egypt is rich in horses, as well as natural soda ash and Glauber's salt. These are what Marin needs in large quantities. Before, Marin entrusted the Venetians and Jews to help buy them, but they were actually exploited severely. Therefore, Marin plans to hire a group of people to run this route in the future.
Although a sum of money was extorted from Marin, the Arabian horses selected by the Jewish businessmen were still very good. After all, in this day and age, people who understand horses are everywhere. If the Jewish businessman randomly picks some bad horses to fool Marin, he must be prepared to be retaliated.
These Arabian horses are very beautiful and bold. When Marin went to see the Arabian horses, all the lively Arabian horses stared at Marin curiously. If it weren't for the reins, maybe those curious Arabian horses would come up to sniff Marin's scent, and maybe even give Marin a bow...
These Arabian horses are generally not tall, with a shoulder height of only about 1.5 meters. Changing to a mare may be even lower, with a shoulder height of only 1.4 meters. Unlike the horses used by local European knights, which often have a shoulder height of more than 1.6 meters, many stallions have a shoulder height of more than 1.7 meters.
However, as a war horse, only those who need to wear full-body plate armor need to be so tall and strong. If it is to carry light cavalry, a medium-sized horse such as an Arabian horse is just right.
However, Marin did not intend to directly use Arabian horses as war horses. Because, Arabian horses have a very important problem, that is - afraid of the cold...
Purebred Arabian horses, born in the Arabian Peninsula, have lived in tropical desert areas since they were young. They are heat-resistant and not cold-resistant.
Marin clearly remembered that after the introduction of Arabian horses, some local tyrants in the north would keep them in a heated room every winter to keep out the cold. Unlike Mongolian horses, those who stay in the stable in cold weather are fine.
If the Arabian horse is placed in a place like Siberia or the Mongolian Plateau where the winter temperature is as low as tens of degrees below zero, the purebred Arabian horse has a high probability of freezing to death directly.
Even though the winter in western Europe is not very cold, it can sometimes be as low as minus 10 degrees. Arabian horses are very uncomfortable in this temperature.
Therefore, when introducing Arabian horses this time, Marin did not intend to introduce mares at all, but directly introduced male horses for breeding...
This is because although the foal will inherit many characteristics of the father, its physical characteristics are closer to the mother. Therefore, when horses discuss bloodlines, they often give priority to referring to mares.
The mare is hardy, and the foal is likely to be hardy too. However, he will also inherit many of his father's advantages...
Therefore, when Europeans began to breed horse breeds in the 18th and 19th centuries, they all chose to use local excellent mares adapted to the local area to breed with excellent imported stallions to cultivate high-quality horses that were adapted to the local climate. New breed of horse.
Based on this idea, Marin commissioned those Jewish businessmen to buy 50 Arabian stallions in the Arabian Peninsula for breeding with local mares.
In the previous battle of Lyle County, Marin captured a total of 2,600 Saxon horses. Among them, there are more than 500 mares. Counting his previous 30 French war horses, Marin now has nearly 600 mares and war horses.
If they are all used for breeding, this group of 50 Arabian stallions will have an average of 12 wives per horse...
One Arabian stallion has to deal with 12 mares... Thinking of this, Marin smiled wretchedly...
Angela alone made her waist sore, if she served 12 women, wouldn't she still be foaming? Then, he looked at the 50 horses with sympathetic eyes:
"Boys, don't get excited. I will use 12 tall horses (the description is quite reasonable. The mares captured by Marin, including the previous French mares, have a shoulder height of no less than 1.6 meters. 10+ cm taller than these Arabian stallions) 'hush chicks' come to suck your shit out... ”
After finishing speaking, regardless of whether these lively Arabian stallions could understand or not, they whistled happily and left...
Thinking of the situation when the short Arabian stallion was bred with the tall European mare, Marin was very happy. You know, even when mating, the horse is standing. The mare was so tall, Marlin thought—would those Arabian stallions be able to climb it? Do you want to make a high platform so that the Arabian stallion can climb on the mare...
