(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.
看来,某些能力,也并不是熟能生巧的。
做的多了,随着年岁的增长,不仅仅不能够越来越熟练,反而还会变得大不如从前。
好在铁头的养殖技术,没有如同这方面的能力一样退化,而是在岁月的沉浸之中,越来越精湛。
再加上铁头又是部落之中的老人手了,是最为老的那一批。
本身能力也够,用起来最为放心。
所以韩成当初,在三星堆居住区那里考虑在主部落这边建立马场的时候,就想到了铁头,让他来做这个新建立的马场的负责人。
依照铁头的能力,韩成觉得,他一定能够将这个马场给管理的好好的,将马匹喂养的非常强壮,照料的非常好。
结果来到这里之后,却发现,这里的马居然都瘦了!
铁头来到韩成的身边,显得很是局促不安。
毕竟他是这个马场的负责人,而且这些马,确确实实是瘦了。
“神子,我…我……我也不…不知道,到底是怎么了,只是这些马在这…这里吃…吃东西,看着都…都不太香。
我想了很多办法,甚至于给它们用盐水,将一些草给打湿了,让它们吃,它们吃的也不是特别的欢,远…远没有部落里的牛羊,这些东西好养活……”
被韩成叫到身边问这样的事情,铁头一时间紧张的话都有些说不好了。
韩成伸手在铁头的肩膀上拍拍,示意他不用这样的紧张。
韩成是丝毫不会怀疑,铁头会苛待着些马,在饲养这些马的时候会不尽心尽力。
这不仅仅是因为他是部落里的老人手,更因为他这些年来,在部落之中所做出来的表现。
这些马变成现在这个样子,一定是因为有别的原因。
“不要紧张,你是一个什么样的人,我心里面清楚,知道你不会偷懒。
这个事情一定有别的原因,我们一起来努力,看看能不能将这个原因找出来。”
韩成对额头之上已经冒汗的铁头这样说道。
铁头连忙点头,心中提着的那块大石头一下子,就放了下去,眼眶都有些泛红了。
韩成很快又将部落之中那些帮忙放牧马匹的人给喊了过来,询问这些马的情况。
主要被询问的人员,是那些原本的时候,属于飞马部落或者是山部落联盟的人。
他们是在新建立的马场这里,放牧牛羊马匹这些东西的主力军。
在韩成将这些人喊过来之后,铁头这个一向不怎么严厉的人,望着这些人一下子就生气了,甚至有些咬牙切齿。
因为他此时想到了一个可能,觉得部落里的马会变成这个样子,是因为这些部落里的奴隶,在放牧的时候没有尽心,在通过这样的事情对部落进行报复!
如果不是神子还在这里,对这些人问着话,这个脾气一向比较好的人,一定会操起马鞭,对着这些人进行一顿惩罚!
这些奴隶们看到了铁头的神情之后,一时间也都变得慌张。
这些还没有从青雀部落那种可怕的火药武器之中走出来的奴隶们,在面对青雀部落人的时候,往往就会忍不住的从内心深处,感受到一股的恐惧。
他们发着抖,一时间都没有人敢说话。
这样过了好一阵儿之后,才终于是有人开口说出了一些让韩成感兴趣的话。
这是一个才成年不是太久的女人。
个子不算太高,也不算太过于漂亮。
但很显然,她的胆子要比一般的奴隶要大,性格也更为的开朗。和天真。
学习能力很不错。
她这个时候,已经能够比较流利的用普通话进行交流了。
她说,这里的草看起来,跟她在草原时到草不太一样。
听到这个才成年不久的女人所说的话,韩成一下子也就反应了过来。
他也是在草原之上待过一段时间的人。
这个时候,得到了提示,再仔细的去看马场上面的草的时候,才发现,自己部落这个新建设的马场上面所生长的草,确实与生长在草原上之上的那些草差别很大。
人吃惯了大米,再去吃面饭的时候都会觉得不习惯。
就比如当初的韩成。
在家乡的时候,习惯了吃白面馒头,一天三顿都离不了。
这是他们那里的主食。
结果后来上学来到了外地,只吃一碗刀削面,没有吃上两口馒头的话,总是觉得吃不饱。
这种感觉,一直过了差不多快有一年,才算是慢慢的消失……
眼前的这些马,之所以会瘦,是因为这里的草,与它们在草原之上常吃的草不一样,吃着不顺口,所以吃的也就少了。
弄明白了这个原因之后,韩成笑着伸手,再一次到铁头的肩膀上拍了拍。
“这是草的事情,不是你的事情,不用太过于自责。
不要说是你了,这事情,就算是我还有巫跟大师兄等人都没有想到。
如果不是今天来到这里,我们都不知道还会有这个事情。
被韩成这样安慰了一番,铁头的心里变得舒服多了。
“神子,那现在该怎么办?我们这里又没有那种草?”
心里面刚刚好受了一点儿,铁头就再一次的为这个事情担心起来。
他是部落里公认的养殖好手,而且又是神子亲自任命的新建立的马场的负责人。
这个时候,出现了这样的问题,他自然会感到着急,想要快些把这个事情给解决了。
“实在不行的话,咱们再给马场给换一个地方,在附近找到有类似草料生长的地方,在那里建马场,反正咱们部落往远处去,还有很多的土地都在那里空闲着。”
这是站在边儿上的巫开口发了话。
巫不愧是部落里的巫。
地位摆在那里,给出的解决办法也就显得大气。
才建立好的马场,说转移就转移。
“神子,要不这样,让草原上的韩有良等人没事儿的时候,在那里多收集一些草籽,到时间从那边儿运送过来,洒在这片儿牧场上,在这片牧场之上种植那边的草。
这样的话,这些马就能够吃到那边的草了!”
铁头不仅头铁,有些时候脑袋转的也比较快。
在知道了问题出在哪里之后,很快就想到了解决问题的办法。
“嗯,这确实是个不错的办法。”
韩成对铁头的这个想法给予了肯定。
“这些马吃不惯这里的草,倒也不用太过于担心,这是它们才从那边儿过来,还没有习惯。
以后在这里多过上一段时间,慢慢的习惯了,情况也有会有好转了。”
韩成笑着对铁头等人说道。
一开始的时候,他不知道问题出在哪里,所以就比较担心。
现在知道了是怎么回事儿,也就变得轻松了。
这不是一个太大的问题。
部落里没有麦子,如果有麦子的话就好了。
韩成看了这些毛很长的马,有些遗憾的想到。
麦子一般都是需要磨成面来吃的。
这样的话,就会有麦皮留下来。
这些麸皮,人吃太过于粗糙,用来喂牲口最好不过了。
多喂上一些能够让牲口长膘。
只是部落现在并没有麦子,只有黄豆,小米儿以及大米这些主粮。
这些东西,人可以全都给可以吃了,用来为马的话,有些过于可惜,过于浪费了。
再加上部落今年,一下子又多出了这样多的人,对于粮食的需求更大了。
在这样的情况下,韩成是不可能下令,让人弄上小米之类的粮食,掺杂着干草喂马的。
韩成带着巫、白雪妹等人在这里停留了三天,三天之后才从马场这里离开,往主部落那里而去。
在这三天里,韩成带着小豌豆儿在这里骑了很多次的马。
小豌豆这个家伙,很小的时候,就骑着大熊猫团团。
长大了一些之后,就开始骑驴子,早就练就了一身的好骑术。
这个时候来到马背上,居然也能够很好的控制马,甚至于比韩成这个在草原上待过一段时间的人。更为的顺溜。
这个发现让韩成很高兴,看来自己之前所想的没有错,想要得到一批真正的好骑兵,还是要从小开始培育的。
一番的察看,韩成对于巫等人建设出来的这片马场,并没有什么意见。
因为这片马场,确实非常的不错,比他想象中的还要好。
马场管理的也很好,他当然没有什么特别好说的。
三天的时间里,主要都是用来玩了……
“让部落里那群从小就跟着羊接触的混小子们,去马场吧,将马场那里再扩建一下,给他们建设出宿舍来。
多往那边运送上一些食物,他们的伙食,一定要供养好。”
从马场回来的第二天,韩成就下达了这样的一个命令。
想要培养出骑兵来,光有马是不行的,还要有合格的人。
骑兵骑兵,指的从来都不是马,只有有人有马,那才是真正的骑兵!
那天在马场见到了小豌豆,一展身手之后,韩成这才一下子想起了这个之前被他忽略的事情。
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.
