Chapter 381 Follow the Rules
During this period, if we were to say which grassland elves lived relatively better, it would undoubtedly be the ones in charge of the silkworm farm.
Although the work efficiency of that group was very poor, they still had the advantage of "passing on experience", so they could receive an additional subsidy when their wages were settled. Among the grassland elves, they were considered wealthy.
Of course, their good days will soon come to an end.
At the beginning, Zhou Xu said that considering they were short of manpower, he specially arranged a group of staff to help them.
Are these staff members really just here to help? How can they help if they don't know how to help? As for the silkworm breeding, their little experience, based on the eagerness of the human race employees to learn, can basically be spent in one month.
By next month, you will do it, and they will do it, and under this premise, they will still crush you in terms of work efficiency.
It is completely predictable what the outcome will be.
This can't be regarded as teaching the apprentice and starving the master. This is just a master who is really disappointing! He has been playing badly and doesn't want to work hard to make money, so you can't blame them.
Zhou Xu, who arrived at the village with Ma Guotao, just confirmed this situation.
"Chief, is it really okay to do this?"
Relying on their inherent advantages, the potential threat of the grassland elves is still very great. They used to live a leisurely life, but suddenly they have to live such a life. Li Shitou is really a little afraid that they will accumulate dissatisfaction and then cause trouble for him.
On the other hand, Zhou Xu was not too worried about this.
"Don't worry about it, just continue to follow the rules."
The grassland elves are proud by nature, and each of them is more or less concerned about their reputation.
With this kind of personality, they will not have the nerve to cause trouble unless you are deliberately targeting them and are doing things according to the rules.
Because for them, this action itself is very embarrassing.
Of course, Zhou Xu also took some preventive measures in advance for possible hidden dangers. For example, he divided the already limited grassland elves into three groups and placed them in Grassland Village, Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village respectively.
After all, they just lived too leisurely lives in the past.
Born in adversity, die in comfort! These eight words are always true in any era.
After leaving Salt Lake Village, Zhou Xu and Ma Guotao successfully arrived at the neighboring Black Moon Village before dark.
“Oh my god!”
At a glance, looking at the vast fields and the scale of Black Moon Village, Ma Guotao couldn't help but swear.
The Salt Lake Village that looked like a factory area before was already incredible to Ma Guotao. Now the Black Moon Village before his eyes was of another style.
In Ma Guotao's opinion, in this primitive era when there was nothing, Zhou Xu was able to build several villages, and each one was bigger and better than the last. Such an initiative was something that ordinary people could not have.
After all, this kind of thing is always easier said than done.
By the way, from the perspective of modern people, although these are villages, if they were placed in Medieval Europe, based on the land and several hills that Zhou Xu occupies now, if the territories were connected together, he would at least be a king.
"Let's rest here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning. We will reach the grassland before noon."
Although Ma Guotao likes riding horses, he rode as much as he could in one breath during the journey. Now he feels like his body is about to fall apart.
He used to ride horses as a recreational sport and would stop when he felt tired.
But now it has become a task. Want to rest when you are tired? There is no such option!
During this journey, Ma Guotao, who had received more formal and professional equestrian training, obviously did not perform as well as Zhou Xu, who was a wild rider. After all, the long period of running back and forth had already made him accustomed to this intensity of riding.
After entering the village, Zhou Xu arranged accommodation for him as usual. Ma Guotao lay down and didn't want to move.
Around ten o'clock the next morning, Zhou Xu and Ma Guotao finally arrived at Caoyuan Village.
The weather was nice that day, with blue sky, white clouds and a large grassland. Ma Guotao felt indescribably happy.
Ye Jinghong, who had received the news in advance, hurried to the outside of the village to greet them after hearing the sound of the bronze bell.
"Ye Jinghong, meet the leader!"
"No need to be polite."
While signaling Ye Jinghong to excuse himself, Zhou Xu quickly dismounted from his horse and pointed at Ma Guotao behind him.
"The work related to the horse farm here will be handed over to the God's Chosen One I summoned."
"yes!"
Ye Jinghong simply took a quick look at this new chosen one and did not show too much surprise. After all, this was not the first one.
Zhou Xu arranged this matter in just a few words, and turned to look at Ma Guotao, who was excited.
"I see you're not in the mood to rest. Let's go to the stables."
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Unconsciously, Ma Guotao, who had been subjected to continuous attacks, had already started using honorifics when speaking to Zhou Xu.
Bringing Ma Guotao with him, Zhou Xu quickly came to the horse farm.
Originally, horses, cattle, and even sheep were raised in the same place, and all were managed by the farm.
However, with the large-scale capture of cattle, horses and sheep in recent times, the breeding farm was too busy to handle it, so after consulting Zhou Xu, they separated the horse breeding work and set up a horse farm.
After all, unlike cattle and sheep, horses have military value and are more important at present. The selection and training of war horses, and even the subsequent breeding of excellent horse breeds, are all a science.
Since Zhou Xu and his colleagues don't understand these things, they currently use the same operations no matter what they raise.
Whether it is bison or wild horses, they choose to desensitize them slowly first, and then let them adapt and cooperate with humans to do some work.
On the way here, Zhou Xu had nothing to do, so he talked about this with Ma Guotao.
In fact, Ma Guotao felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Xu's breeding and training logic.
But this is just the basics. Using this basic method, you can make wild horses gradually closer to humans and become rideable, which is no problem.
But for war horses, it is not enough.
War horses need to have many requirements, such as good physical strength, fast speed, and high obedience.
When a pony is brought to you, how do you tell if it is a good horse? How do you determine if it has potential? If it has potential, how do you cultivate it? How do you train it? There is a lot of experience involved in this.
Even if others are willing to teach you, you may not necessarily understand it.
After all, there is an old saying that goes, "There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers."
Horse judging is a science, and so is horse training.
From now on, this work will undoubtedly be handed over to Ma Guotao.
