Chapter 201: Pastor, release the horses!
Yan Zhe followed his memory and returned to his home, which was a small courtyard.
There was no one at home. My mother fell ill and passed away early, and my father was also a soldier and died.
When he got there, he was alone.
He remembered that before the original owner's mother passed away, she told him to have more wives and more children, so as not to let the Yan family's bloodline be cut off.
Yan Zhe felt that he needed to obey this will.
After all, the dead are greater than the dead, and I am just occupying someone else's nest.
After cleaning the house, I felt tired, so I went out to buy some buns and ate them, then went to bed early.
I woke up very late the next day. Just after washing my face, I heard someone knocking on the door.
"Is Yanzhe at home?"
"Here I am!"
Yan Zhe quickly ran to the door to check and saw that it was a soldier.
"Brother Yan, your transfer order has arrived. Come with me quickly. The Supervisor is waiting for you."
Soon, the two arrived at the place.
It is the military horse depot of Yanxi City.
The Shang Dynasty had extremely strict management of horses.
There is a very detailed division of officials in charge of horses.
The border army set up a "Military Horse Supervisor" with one supervisor, a fifth-rank official, in charge of local horse affairs; under him were the pastoral supervisors, who were divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, based on the number of horses raised, with rates of 5,000, 3,000 and 1,000 respectively.
Among them, the upper pastor is of the seventh rank, the middle pastor is of the eighth rank, and the lower pastor is of the ninth rank.
There is also one deputy abbot each, who leads his subordinates and assists the abbot.
Under the pastoral supervisor, there are also minor officials.
Although they were minor officials, they were also members of the imperial court. Each pastor was in charge of two horse herders, who in turn were in charge of ten horse soldiers.
In other words, a horse herder has to maintain fifty war horses.
The abbot that Yan Zhe met was named Wang Yong, a middle abbot, an official of the eighth rank.
After Wang Yong saw Yan Zhe, he praised:
"He was a brave man, a warrior of the highest rank. It's a pity he was injured. My dear brother, from now on you will be the Lower Supervisor of the West Sixth District. Here are your official uniform and token."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhe immediately thanked him and said:
"Thank you for your consideration, sir. I will do my best to help the army raise good war horses!"
Wang Yong asked someone to take him to work and take him to his jurisdiction first.
Yan Zhe took the token and checked it, and it was indeed the ninth rank official position of Lower Supervisory Pastor.
Although Zhao Kai was a general, it was already very good that he could give an ordinary soldier he casually assigned a high-ranking official position. At least, there was a hope of promotion.
Moreover, he is the main one. If he is the deputy, he will be checked and balanced by others.
The person who took him there was a horse herder under his management, named "Ruan Tong". He was a smart man. Along the way, he described the personnel and horse conditions in the West Six B District.
In the military horse prison, although the number of horses managed by everyone is similar, the quality of the horses varies.
There are monsters in this world, and among horses, there are also war horses with special bloodlines.
In the military horse depot of Yanxi City, all war horses are divided into five grades. The lowest grade is the fifth-grade horse, which is an ordinary war horse. If they encounter a powerful war horse with the bloodline of a monster, this kind of war horse will be frightened and shrink back, or even crawl on the ground.
Above them are fourth-grade horses. Such war horses have the blood of monsters and are equivalent to warriors at the first level of the Blood Refining Realm. Not only are their endurance, explosive power, and speed greatly improved, they are also ferocious and difficult to tame.
Fourth-class horses would not be given to ordinary soldiers, but would be given to officers at the rank of sergeant or to the vanguard battalion.
Third-class horses are for warriors at the second level of the Blood Refining Realm and can only be used by captains and above, or in heavy cavalry teams.
Second-class horses can only be owned by generals at the level of deputy general. They are at the level of warriors at the third level of the Blood Refining Realm, and ordinary soldiers cannot tame them at all.
As for first-class war horses, there are only a few in the entire military horse depot.
They are equivalent to warriors at the fourth level of the Blood Refining Realm. They do not eat grass but meat. They are themselves a kind of monster beasts and are extremely ferocious. They are all looked after by individual people.
The one thousand war horses in the prison area managed by Yan Zhe are all just the most common fifth-grade horses. War horses above the fourth grade are under the jurisdiction of special prison areas.
Yan Zhe was very happy about this.
He didn't know whether he could forcibly tame a warhorse of the first level of the Blood Refining Realm, so he was still not sure if he could take good care of it, but he had already tested it on an ordinary warhorse on the road.
When they arrived at the place, the adjutant Song Yu did not come out to greet them.
Come to think of it, the person who originally held this position died of a stroke a few days ago, and the deputy pastor was about to take over, but Yan Zhe was parachuted in. It's understandable that people are angry.
Yan Zhe didn't bother with him.
"Come on, take me to see the horses!"
Ruan Tong immediately took him to the stable.
There didn't seem to be many horses here, only a dozen or so, and they looked injured.
"Sir, it's time to let the horses roam free. Sir Song should have gone to let the horses go. These horses are injured and cannot go out."
Ruan Tong hurriedly explained.
Yan Zhe nodded, walked towards one of the horses, activated the beast-taming bead, and suddenly, a stream of energy in his body was consumed and transferred into the horse's body, then a connection was formed. Yan Zhe seemed to be able to directly perceive the horse's thoughts.
He waved his hand and said, "Come closer."
The horse immediately came closer, knelt down, and stretched out its head for Yan Zhe to pet.
Ruan Tong was extremely shocked and said in astonishment:
"Could this horse be your lordship's warhorse?"
Yan Zhe waved his hand and said, "I'm just an infantryman, where would I get a warhorse? It's just that it seems to be destined for me."
The energy in his body is enough to activate ten ordinary contracts. Once the energy is used up, he needs to eat and practice to replenish it.
He then immediately completed the contracts with the other nine war horses.
According to the feedback from the Beast Taming Pearl, it takes ten days for an ordinary warhorse to give back one breath of essence to itself.
This amount of essence is equal to the amount of essence consumed in one contract.
The ten days and one energy mentioned here refers to a warhorse. If there are 10 warhorses, a complete energy can be accumulated in one day for him to use or absorb.
Simply put, each warhorse can produce 0.1 Dao of essence every day.
Although it doesn't seem like much, as the number of horses controlled by Yan Zhe continues to increase, the amount of energy he obtains every day will become a huge number, greatly improving his personal cultivation speed.
After completing the taming of ten horses, Yan Zhe felt very weak and had no strength left.
Just take a walk and then go to your office area to rest.
It is called an office area, but it is actually a house with two separate rooms divided into two rooms. One is for the chief pastor, which is larger, and the other is for the deputy pastor, which is smaller.
Yan Zhe entered his room, looked at the objects and documents, and then fell asleep on the table.
He didn't wake up until someone called him.
Ruan Tong said, "Master Supervisor, Master Song has returned."
