(Additional chapter for the book friend who has given a great reward)
The horse farm of the Qingque main tribe has been built for almost two months.
Long before Han Cheng brought people to the grassland to help Han Youliang and others build a new starting residential area, a group of people had been arranged to bring a group of horses and some cattle to start from the Sanxingdui residential area and transport them all the way to the main tribe.
At the same time, he also wrote down his idea of building a horse farm in a suitable place near the main tribe, as well as some specific requirements, and stamped it with Han Cheng's own seal, and asked those who drove the cattle, sheep and horses back to hand it over to the witch.
Then Wu, the eldest brother and other backbones of the main tribe began to work on this matter.
Han Cheng still has great confidence in the abilities of people like Wu and the eldest senior brother.
After all, these two people are already among the best in the tribe.
Over the years, it has continued to grow as the tribe has grown.
Having experienced so much, I am now extra steady when doing things.
However, despite this, after returning to the tribe, Han Cheng still wanted to see what the horse farm looked like.
After all, this is a very important thing and has great significance for the tribe.
It just so happened that people like Snow White and Little Pea were also in the tribe. They had been stuck there for a long time and had not gone out for a long journey.
At this time, you can also take the opportunity to take them out for a walk, to change the environment and change their mood.
After learning about this, Little Pea, Little Apricot and Little Yellow Bean all jumped for joy.
Even Sister Bai Xue's face showed a childlike smile.
It was obvious that they had high expectations for this not-so-long journey.
This is often the case, family members may be the easiest people to satisfy.
Some things and actions, not too many in number, can make them feel extra happy and touched, and can bring them happiness.
The horse farm is located thirty or forty miles southeast of the Qingque main tribe.
Starting from the main tribe, first move forward along the road from the main tribe to the Qinling residential area.
After passing the Yanshan residential area, walk forward for more than ten miles, then turn southeast.
After getting off the main road, the road becomes less smooth going that way.
There are only roughly constructed paths.
But it can still be passed through.
It was a bit bumpy when I was sitting in the car.
With just a quick glance, you can tell that this is something that was newly built by someone recently.
When the horse farm was not built there in the beginning, there was no road here.
Han Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at this seemingly simple path.
After all, Han Dashenzi has experienced too many benefits from road construction.
When I was walking back from the south, I was still thinking about the benefits of road construction and trying to find ways to build more roads.
Now there is another unbuilt road here. How could Han Dashenzi, who has always been thinking about this, not be happy?
Even Xiao Huangdou had been shaken and vomited once...
The people who came with Han Cheng felt guilty and worried when they saw Xiao Huangdou vomiting due to the bumpy road.
He felt that it was his and their fault, and was worried that the Son of God would blame him and them for it.
Unexpectedly, Han Cheng, the Son of God, smiled.
"It's good that the road hasn't been repaired! This means we can still repair the road!
When the road is being built, people from our tribe should not come! People from other tribes should come to build it.
We give them food, take care of their food and drink, and make sure the supply is good. In this way, when the road is repaired, these people will stay in our tribe and become members of our tribe.
This is more practical and less risky than using force and starting a war to rob other tribes.
We don't need to pay too much. Just some food and some care can bring a lot of people to the tribe, and they are the kind of people who are very cohesive and yearning for our tribe.
After these people join the tribe, they only need a little management to become qualified tribal citizens..."
Han Cheng said this to Wu, his senior brother, and some other people around him with a smile.
Those who can go to the newly built horse farm with Han Cheng this time are either the leading figures of the tribe or the elders of the tribe. Many things can be said directly in front of these people without worrying about any bad influence.
Sure enough, after hearing what Han Cheng said, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
A very senior trader in the tribe, Mao, even patted his chest and guaranteed on the spot that the task of finding these tribes would be his responsibility, and he would definitely be able to find very suitable people for the tribe to build the road.
Han Cheng believed Mao's words very much.
Because now, Mao, who no longer seldom goes out to trade, has begun to retreat behind the scenes and manage the caravans in the main tribe.
Moreover, this guy has very rich experience and is very familiar with the small tribes in this land that have had contact with the Qingque tribe.
Knowing which tribe you belong to, you can become a member of your own tribe through some efforts in the nearest time.
Building the road was almost the final hurricane.
As long as this fire is lit, some tribes that are about to mature will become ripe.
After the road is built, you will definitely be able to join your own tribe.
Han Cheng smiled and gave Mao a thumbs up.
Han Cheng has great confidence in Mao's ability, after all, this is Mao's expertise.
Han Cheng and others set out in the morning, but by the evening, they had not reached the horse farm forty miles away.
On the one hand, in order to be able to take some flat roads, they took some detours.
In other words, the actual distance traveled was more than forty miles.
On the other hand, after getting off the built road, the road is a bit bumpy.
Accompanying them were the elders from the Wu tribe, as well as children like Little Pea and Little Yellow Bean. They needed to be considered and their physical endurance needed to be considered.
On the other hand, Han Cheng took Bai Xuemei and others to the horse farm with the idea of taking the opportunity to relax, which was somewhat of a tourism purpose.
So when we are in a hurry, we walk slower.
You can spend more time and take in more of the scenery along the way.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Han Cheng and his party finally arrived at the horse farm.
The horse farm is quite large.
At this time, land is the least scarce thing.
Especially those lands that have never been developed.
Many of them are ownerless.
As long as you want, you can circle it and it will be yours. You can do whatever you want on it without having to pay for demolition or other expenses.
Of course, a prerequisite for doing this is that you have enough energy to do it.
You must also be strong enough to deal with challenges from people who may come and want to steal your things in the future.
The Qingque tribe is obviously not afraid of this challenge.
Moreover, they have enough energy and manpower to do these things.
If anyone dares to challenge the Qingque tribe, the people of the Qingque tribe will definitely be very happy to accept such a challenge.
Then those who challenged would be turned into slaves of the tribe.
For the people of the Qingque tribe, this is truly something they have been longing for.
Wu, the eldest brother, and the rest of the people in the tribe were very interested in the horse farm that Han Cheng mentioned.
After all, during this time, they truly experienced the benefits of horses.
Therefore, we paid special attention to its construction.
Not only is the horse farm large enough, the location is also very good.
There are valleys that can be used as shelter from the wind, as well as plenty of flat land and water sources.
At this time, many trees on this land have been cut down to prevent them from competing for nutrients with the grass.
This allows the grass to grow more vigorously and provide more fodder for the horses.
There are more than 200 horses currently raised in the farm. In a few years, the number of horses in this farm will increase significantly.
Han Cheng's eyes kept looking at these horses, and soon, his brows furrowed slightly.
Because he found that these horses were much thinner than when he had seen them before.
It's not just one or two pieces of hair, but the vast majority of hair are like this.
A poor man has low aspirations, and a thin horse has long hair. This saying is absolutely true.
The horses in the main horse farm have very long hair and look lifeless.
The same horse, but with those on the grassland, the difference is quite huge.
"What's going on? Why are these horses so thin?"
Han Cheng called the person in charge of the horse farm over and asked him questions.
The person in charge of this newly established horse farm is none other than Tietou, who is good at cutting grass and raising horses in the tribe.
The Tietou of today is no longer the Tietou who used to compete with Heiwa in the tribe to see who could last longer.
He hadn't done anything like this for a long time, and was often disliked by his spouse Ruhua for this.
It seems that some abilities cannot be acquired with practice.
If you do it more and get older, not only will you not become more skilled, but you will become worse than before.
Fortunately, Tietou's breeding techniques did not degenerate like his ability in this area, but became more and more sophisticated with the years of immersion.
In addition, Tietou is an old man in the tribe, one of the oldest.
It has sufficient capabilities and is safe to use.
So when Han Cheng was considering building a horse farm in the main tribe in the Sanxingdui residential area, he thought of Tietou and asked him to be the person in charge of the newly built horse farm.
Based on Tietou's abilities, Han Cheng felt that he would be able to manage the farm well, feed the horses to be very strong, and take good care of them.
But when I got here, I found that all the horses here were thin!
Tietou came to Han Cheng and seemed very uneasy.
After all, he is the person in charge of this horse farm, and these horses are indeed thinner.
“Son of God, I…I…I don’t…know what’s going on. It’s just that the food these horses eat…here doesn’t look very appetizing.
I thought of many ways, even using salt water to wet some grass and let them eat it, but they didn’t eat it very happily. They were far…far less than the cattle and sheep in the tribe, which were easy to raise…”
When Han Cheng called him over to ask such questions, Tietou was so nervous that he couldn't speak properly.
Han Cheng reached out and patted Tietou on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous.
Han Cheng had no doubt that Tietou would treat some horses harshly and not do his best to raise them.
This is not only because he is the veteran in the tribe, but also because of his performance in the tribe over the years.
There must be some other reason why these horses are the way they are.
"Don't be nervous, I know what kind of person you are, and I know you won't be lazy.
There must be another reason for this. Let's work together to see if we can find it."
Han Cheng said this to Tietou, whose forehead was already covered with sweat.
Tietou nodded quickly, and the big stone in his heart was suddenly put down, and his eyes were a little red.
Han Cheng quickly called over those people in the tribe who were helping to herd horses and asked about the condition of the horses.
The people who were mainly questioned were those who originally belonged to the Pegasus Tribe or the Mountain Tribe Alliance.
They are the main force in the newly established horse farm, grazing cattle, sheep, horses and other animals.
After Han Cheng called these people over, Tietou, who was usually not a very strict person, suddenly became angry when he looked at these people, and even gritted his teeth.
Because he thought of a possibility at this time. He felt that the horses in the tribe became like this because the slaves in the tribe did not do their best when grazing, and were taking revenge on the tribe through such things!
If the Son of God was not still here, questioning these people, this man who usually had a good temper would definitely pick up the whip and punish these people!
When these slaves saw Tietou's expression, they all became panicked for a moment.
These slaves, who have not yet escaped from the terrible gunpowder weapons of the Green Bird Tribe, often cannot help but feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts when facing the people of the Green Bird Tribe.
They were trembling and no one dared to speak for a while.
After a long time, someone finally said something that interested Han Cheng.
This is a woman who has only been an adult for a short time.
She is not too tall, nor too pretty.
But it was obvious that she was braver than the average slave, and her personality was more cheerful and innocent.
The learning ability is very good.
At this time, she was able to communicate in Mandarin quite fluently.
She said that the grass here looked different from the grass she saw on the grassland.
After hearing what this woman, who had just reached adulthood, said, Han Cheng reacted immediately.
He is also a person who has spent some time on the grassland.
At this time, I got the hint and looked carefully at the grass on the horse farm. I found that the grass growing on the newly built horse farm of my tribe was indeed very different from the grass growing on the grassland.
When people are used to eating rice, they will feel uncomfortable eating noodles.
Just like Han Cheng back then.
When I was in my hometown, I was used to eating white flour buns, which I had for three meals a day.
This is their staple food there.
As a result, when I went to school in another place, I always felt hungry if I only ate a bowl of knife-cut noodles without two bites of steamed buns.
This feeling lasted for almost a year before it slowly disappeared...
The reason why these horses in front of us are thin is that the grass here is different from the grass they usually eat on the grassland. It is not tasty, so they eat less.
After figuring out the reason, Han Cheng smiled, reached out, and patted Tietou on the shoulder again.
"This is the grass's business, not yours, so don't blame yourself too much.
Not to mention you, even I, Wu, Senior Brother and others didn't think of this.
If we hadn't come here today, we wouldn't have known that this would happen.
After being comforted by Han Cheng, Tietou felt much better.
"Son of God, what should we do now? We don't have that kind of grass here?"
Just when he felt a little better, Tietou started to worry about this matter again.
He is recognized as a good breeder in the tribe, and is also the person in charge of the newly established horse farm appointed by the Son of God himself.
At this time, when such a problem arises, he will naturally feel anxious and want to solve the matter quickly.
"If it doesn't work, let's move the horse farm to another place. Find a place with similar grass growing nearby and build a horse farm there. Anyway, if our tribe is far away, there is still a lot of vacant land there."
It was the witch standing nearby who spoke.
The witch is worthy of being the witch of the tribe.
Given the status, the solution provided seems to be grand.
The newly built horse farm was moved at will.
"Son of God, how about this? Let Han Youliang and others on the grassland collect more grass seeds when they are free, and then transport them over from there and sprinkle them on this pasture, and then plant the grass there on this pasture.
That way, the horses can eat the grass over there!"
Tietou is not only stubborn, but sometimes his mind works quite quickly.
After knowing where the problem lies, I quickly thought of a solution.
“Well, this is indeed a good idea.”
Han Cheng affirmed Tietou's idea.
"These horses are not used to the grass here, but you don't have to worry too much. They just came from over there and haven't gotten used to it yet.
I will spend more time here and slowly get used to it, and the situation will get better.”
Han Cheng said to Tietou and others with a smile.
At the beginning, he didn't know where the problem lay, so he was quite worried.
Now that I know what's going on, it feels easier.
This is not a big problem.
There is no wheat in the tribe. It would be nice if there was wheat.
Han Cheng looked at these horses with very long hair and thought with some regret.
Wheat generally needs to be ground into flour before it can be eaten.
In this way, there will be some wheat bran left.
These brans are too rough for human consumption and are best used to feed livestock.
Feeding more can help livestock grow fat.
But the tribe doesn’t have wheat now, only soybeans, millet and rice as staple foods.
Humans can eat all of these things, but using them for horses would be a pity and a waste.
In addition, the tribe has suddenly added so many people this year, and the demand for food is even greater.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Han Cheng to give orders for people to get millet and other grains mixed with hay to feed the horses.
Han Cheng, Wu, Bai Xuemei and others stayed here for three days. After three days, they left the horse farm and went to the main tribe.
During these three days, Han Cheng took Little Pea for many horse rides here.
When Little Pea was very young, he rode on the giant panda Tuan Tuan.
When I grew up a little, I started riding donkeys and had already mastered the riding skills.
At this time, when he got on the horse, he was able to control the horse very well, even smoother than Han Cheng, who had been on the grassland for some time.
This discovery made Han Cheng very happy. It seemed that what he had thought before was correct. If he wanted to get a group of really good cavalrymen, he had to train them from an early age.
After some inspection, Han Cheng had no objection to the horse farm built by Wu and others.
Because this horse farm is really good, better than he imagined.
The stables were also well managed, so of course he had nothing special to say about it.
During the three days, I mainly spent them playing...
“Let’s send those rascals in the tribe who have been in contact with sheep since childhood to the horse farm. We can expand the farm and build dormitories for them.
Send more food over there, and make sure they have good food."
The next day after returning from the horse farm, Han Cheng issued such an order.
If you want to train cavalry, it is not enough to have horses, you also need qualified people.
Cavalry Cavalry never refers to horses. Only when people have horses can they be called real cavalry!
After seeing Little Pea showing off his skills at the horse farm that day, Han Cheng suddenly remembered the thing he had previously overlooked.
Cavalry is the combination of horses and horses. Only by riding horses frequently can you train real cavalry.
So after Han Cheng returned to the main tribe, he gave the order to send the group of half-grown children who had been raised as cavalry to the horse farm.
Letting them live at the stable is, on the one hand, for them to learn how to take care of war horses, get familiar with them, and develop a good relationship with them.
On the other hand, I also want them to practice riding more there.
As Han Cheng's order was issued, the Qingque tribe became busy again.
Two days later, a group of energetic guys left the Qingque tribe.
Heading towards the horse farm forty miles away from the tribe.
These guys did not have the slightest sadness of parting. Instead, they were extremely happy, jumping around like river shrimps that had not touched water.
