Chapter 1011 Travel
In the past, when Zhou Xu went to Grassland City, he always rode a horse directly, focusing on high mobility efficiency.
However, this time it was different, because due to the various tests he had conducted on the newly acquired mantra, his condition at the moment was not at its peak.
So this time he took a horse-drawn carriage instead. While traveling, he sat in the carriage and used meditation to speed up his recovery.
After arriving in Grassland City, Zhou Xu’s first thing was to go to the Grassland Horse Farm.
He has not come since the Horse King successfully evolved into a strange beast, and he did not come when the strange beast horse was born.
Because he felt it was unnecessary.
As the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou, if he is really busy, he will have work to deal with every day, and there is no such thing as free time in the strict sense.
Therefore, whenever he went out, he would basically ask Huo Qubing and Li Bowen to cooperate with him to squeeze out time for him.
Under this premise, although Grassland City and Black Moon City are close to each other, he will not be idle and run here every now and then.
Even this time, the main reason he came here was because he was going to the Northeast and passed by on his way.
You're already at the door, there's no reason not to take a look.
By the way, at this point in time, because the breeding period has passed, Xie Liancheng and Ma Wangye are not at the grassland horse farm, but are strolling in the Northeast.
It had been a long time since I last saw Ma Guotao and Zhou Xu. After a simple greeting, the two of them started chatting very lively.
As they were talking, they had already walked into the stable and came to an area specially used for raising exotic horses.
Since the probability of giving birth to an exotic horse when the exotic horse mates with the ordinary Ferghana horse is very low, the number of exotic horses at the grassland horse farm at this moment is only eighteen.
On the contrary, there are now more than a hundred Arabian horses with the bloodline of exotic horses.
If it were an ordinary person, after all these years of hard work, he would have created eighteen exotic horses. I'm sure his mentality would explode.
But Ma Guotao is different.
He is an old hand at horse breeding. As early as when he knew that His Majesty wanted to breed exotic horses, he already had a rough idea of the time investment.
At this moment, his mentality is not so much as as steady as an old dog, but rather he is more steady than an old dog.
However, when he talked about this topic with Zhou Xu, he showed obvious excitement.
Because in the early spring of next year, the first batch of exotic horses bred can start breeding!
In fact, if you really want to breed, you can do it this year.
But considering the time investment, Ma Guotao wouldn't mind waiting another year or two. In order to ensure the quality of the first round of breeding, he had to ensure that the first batch of exotic horses were fully grown and mature.
For this reason, he specifically postponed the first breeding date to next year.
At the same time, the breeding of exotic horses is actually similar to the population growth within their Great Zhou.
In the early days, there was not enough base and we had to rely on the horse king for breeding, so the efficiency certainly could not be improved.
But the situation is different now. For Ma Guotao, he has already gotten through the most difficult days.
In each following year, more exotic horses will be put into breeding work.
During this period, those Arabian horses with exotic beast bloodlines were also included in his breeding plan. After all, they also had the probability of giving birth to exotic beast horses.
If this trend continues, even if they continue to breed exotic horses with ordinary Arabian horses to try their luck, the growth rate of exotic horses will be greatly improved.
In the end, the breeding of exotic horses will be formed, which can enable the output of exotic horses to achieve further stable growth.
To this end, starting this summer, Ma Guotao has begun to organize his breeding plan for next year.
After chatting with Ma Guotao about the follow-up plans and seeing the newly born exotic horses and those Ferghana horses with exotic bloodlines, Zhou Xu rested for a night in the grassland city and then continued to take a carriage to the northeast region.
In recent years, because Xie Liancheng was really bored, he gradually incorporated many primitive tribes here and expanded the territory of their Great Zhou in the northeast region.
Compared to the past, it is a lot bigger now.
But it’s not a big problem. Compared with the area of territory waiting to be built in the south, this little piece of land here is even insignificant.
Apart from the altar of the old god, the only important thing here at this stage is the oil refinery in their Great Zhou.
He had never been here since he left, so he came to inspect the oil refinery.
"Your subordinate Zhou Yifei comes to see Your Majesty!"
Upon receiving the news, Zhou Yifei, the factory director, hurried out to meet them.
Unlike Ma Guotao who had already become familiar with Zhou Xu, Zhou Yifei had only met Zhou Xu twice, so he could not be described as "familiar" at all.
The sudden arrival of their Majesty made him very nervous, and his whole face was unconsciously tense.
Seeing Zhou Yifei's nervous look, Zhou Xu smiled and looked him up and down.
"You've been living a good life. You've gained weight. You must be twice as fat, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yifei's face turned pale instantly, as if his Majesty was ordering him.
"Your Majesty, please understand! I have been running the oil plant all these years and have been working very hard. I have never dared to slack off for even a moment!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yifei could not help but bow down due to the panic in his heart, which made Zhou Xu feel both amused and helpless.
But he probably also realized that the other party was afraid of something.
"Why are you panicking? I'm not pointing at you."
Having said that, Zhou Xu suddenly changed the subject.
"Or, have you done something wrong?"
"!!"
At this moment, Zhou Yifei's body, which had become noticeably rounder, trembled uncontrollably.
"No, no! I have never done anything wrong! I have always been honest and dutiful..."
Zhou Yifei expressed his loyalty to Zhou Xu as he spoke.
Zhou Xu only half believed Zhou Yifei's words of loyalty.
This guy is definitely not a loyal subject, but compared to his initial loyalty of only 60 points, he must have lived a very comfortable life over the years. His loyalty has also risen to 75 points, so he can be considered a good citizen.
Under this premise, the identity of the time traveler is special after all, especially a time traveler like Zhou Yifei who has low loyalty. Therefore, as early as when the personnel were arranged at the beginning, people from the Inspection Department were arranged to monitor Zhou Yifei.
You wouldn't say that Zhou Yifei has been working very hard over the years, but overall he has been quite honest.
No one is perfect, so Zhou Xu wouldn't bother with the trivial matters. He would just take the opportunity to give him a casual warning and that would be the end of it.
After all, he is a Samsung talent with professional capabilities, it is impossible for him to be dealt with just because of a small matter.
