Chapter 23 Primer

Since Dai Zong was sensible, his elderly grandfather told him that horses are more expensive than people. Of course, horse legs are definitely rarer than human legs. Dai Zong's family of seven has a few mu of poor land, and after deducting government taxes, there is not much left every year, and life is difficult. The Dai family's hopes were placed on the reddish-brown stallion. This is the best stallion in a hundred miles. It is fat and strong, and has a strong reproductive ability. All the mares in the nearby villages have taken aim at Dai's horse for mating. The government has also spoken, take good care of your horses, and you will be exempted from taxes for a year.

That's not a horse, it's the life of the Dai family.The whole family worshiped like an old man, reluctant to ride or fight. Once, little Dai Zong took his red-brown horse out to graze in the mountains, but the red-brown horse rushed towards the cliff like a ball of fire, and fell into the bottomless valley. Little Dai Zong couldn't catch up, and watched his beloved horse fall off the cliff, and couldn't help crying, not knowing how to explain to his parents when he got home. Little Dai Zong fell asleep in a daze after crying so hard. In his dream, he saw a fairy with white beard and said, don’t cry, baby, you are the star of the sky, and that horse is your mount. Now that you are favored by a certain great god and transferred to a more important position, I will give you a baby to replace it.

The white-bearded fairy gave Xiaodai four armored horse bolts and taught him how to use them. When Dai Zong woke up, there were many gifts from the gods in the dream around him. Dai Zong used the method taught by the gods in the dream, and he walked like flying and traveled thousands of miles a day. Dai's family lost a good horse, but since then they have gained a great treasure. With this unique skill, Dai Zong joined the civil servants and became a judicial officer (at the festival level of the two courts). Later, he went to Liangshan with Song Gongming and ranked No. 1 among the 108 heroes. Twenty people became the leaders of Liangshanbo's intelligence department.

Song Jiang was recruited, and Dean Dai was originally an official in Yanzhou Prefecture, but when he got off the mountain, Tong Guan, the boss of the imperial military circle, came to him and asked if your four armored horses could be contributed to the country, so that relevant personnel could study it. , See if mass production can be implemented in the army, so that the imperial army will no longer be short of horses. Back then, the horses were ordered by Dai's family, but now these four armored horses are ordered by Dean Dai, how could they be sent out. For this reason, Dai Zong simply did not even become an official, and applied to accompany the hall in Tai'an Yue Temple, and spent his life.

As long as the baby is by his side, he can sleep peacefully wherever he is. As for the lack of horses in the empire, it was none of his business.
