Chapter 997 New Year's Arrangements
In the blink of an eye, it is a new year again. The completion time of the reconstruction project in Xinbei District was two months later than Zhou Xu expected. It was basically completed in the spring of this year.
After confirming the news, Zhou Xu immediately began to mobilize internal labor.
During this process, Zhou Xu certainly couldn't just simply and crudely move the labor force involved in the reconstruction project in Xinbei District to the southern border in large numbers.
On the one hand, the distance from Xinbei District to the southern border of their Great Zhou is too far. It is spring now, but it will take until late summer or early autumn for this group of laborers to get from Xinbei District to the southern border.
Several months in between were wasted on the road, which was undoubtedly not a good choice for the Zhou Dynasty, which was short of labor.
In addition, the workers in Xinbei District had just finished the reconstruction project in Xinbei District after working on it for several years. Before they could even catch their breath, they were immediately transferred to participate in the construction project in the southern border. This was somewhat unreasonable.
Catching a bunch of people and trying to rip them off? That's not the way to play it.
In this way, while avoiding this problem, we must also reduce time waste as much as possible. The most reasonable way is to rotate.
Because the three areas within their Great Zhou are connected by the waterways of Qingshui Lake, the closest places to transfer labor to the southern border are Black Moon City and the New South District, and the waterway can go directly to the factory port in the southern border.
In this way, he can directly transfer a large number of labor forces from Black Moon City and the New South District to the southern border.
Then use the labor force freed up in the New North District to fill the labor vacancies in the New South District and Black Moon City.
This rotation was basically completed in the first month after the beginning of summer. Over the past six months, a large amount of construction resources had already been collected in advance in the southern border, and work basically started as soon as the labor force arrived.
The first project was the construction of a border fortress.
The location of the city ruins was good and no further adjustments were needed. They could simply be reinforced on the basis of the original city walls, and then the interior could be constructed.
During this process, another batch of foals were successfully born at the grassland horse farm. According to reports, among the 40 foals in this batch, only four were confirmed to be exotic war horses, two less than last year.
Judging from this situation, they were probably lucky that six exotic animals emerged from the forty foals last year.
This is obviously not good news.
During this period, Lord Ma continued to carry out the important task of racial reproduction.
Unlike the initial situation where it was required to stay in the grassland horse farm the entire time, after the first batch of exotic horses were successfully born, the Horse King was given a certain degree of freedom.
After the breeding period, Xie Liancheng can ride it to the Northeast region to exercise, run around, or raid the surrounding primitive tribes or something.
By the way, let's see if they can find any extraordinary creatures. After all, according to their plan, for the sake of safety, they now need to obtain another drop of blood from an extraordinary creature.
But after winter, we have to return to the stable to prepare for next year's breeding work.
Recently, Lord Ma has gradually gotten used to this kind of life and has been very cooperative overall, mainly because he was scared by Zhou Xu before.
That kind of crushing on a purely spiritual level is, to some extent, even more terrifying than overwhelming it with force.
If you use force, it can at least try to resist a few times, but Zhou Xu attacked it on the spiritual level, and it didn't even have the strength to resist, and it was directly traumatized psychologically.
During this period, the first six exotic horses that were born are now basically one year old, and each of them has grown extremely strong and healthy.
Among a herd of horses, the Arabian horse is already considered a BMW, but if you put an exotic horse among a herd of Arabian horses, you can still spot it at a glance.
Its handsomeness and strength are almost visible to the naked eye! The advantages of its bloodline gradually begin to be exerted as they grow.
As for the thirty-four ordinary Arabian horses with the bloodline of the Horse King, the difference is not that big, but they still have advantages in physical fitness compared to ordinary Arabian horses, but it is not as obvious as that of the exotic horses.
You know, even among the Ferghana horses there are good and bad ones, and these Ferghana horses with the bloodline of the Horse King are basically ranked among the top in quality among the Ferghana horses.
According to the previous standards, only generals leading an army were qualified to be equipped with these weapons.
But according to the current situation, as long as Lord Ma is diligent enough, in a few years, BMWs of this level will be able to form a certain scale within their Great Zhou.
Although they have not reached the level of exotic war horses, they are definitely more powerful than the existing war horses when deployed to the Xianzhen Camp.
At the same time, the most important thing is that these Arabian horses with the bloodline of the Horse King must have higher potential than ordinary Arabian horses. They may have the opportunity to evolve into exotic war horses in the future.
Of course, at this stage, Ma Guotao has only made a simple plan around the breeding and domestication of these war horses. The specific details will have to be discussed later.
Under this premise, influenced by Lord Ma's bad temper, many of these descendants have bad tempers.
It was easy to clean up when he was young, but after he turned one year old, his size started to grow rapidly as if he had been injected with hormones, and his mental strength also started to grow, which has been giving Ma Guotao a headache recently.
In the past two years, he has practiced "beast soldier control" a lot.
In order to better breed exotic war horses, he basically practiced whenever he had free time.
But the more he practiced mantras, the more Ma Guotao felt that his qualifications were indeed limited.
As for this point, Ma Guotao, who is also the Chosen One of God, doesn't even need to guess. In his personal attribute panel, the spirit of the two stars is clearly there, and he is definitely not that kind of material.
Recently, when he used "Beast Soldier Control" on those one-year-old exotic war horses, although he was still able to control them, he could feel that he was getting more and more exhausted.
This is obviously not a good thing.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu reminded them of this situation, that is, they could try to cast spells together.
It means that several people lock onto the same exotic beast horse, perform "Beast Soldier Control" together, and issue the same command.
This will create a stronger suppressive force, which was learned from the Wood Elf Mage Group.
There are actually not many particular requirements for the specific execution of this spell. It mainly depends on the tacit understanding between the two parties and the need to grasp the timing of casting the spell.
In this way, the staff members in the horse farm who have mastered the mantra now have a new project of training in joint spellcasting in addition to their daily work. Their days can be said to be a mixture of pain and happiness.
