Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Zhou Xu's movement of lifting the basket was relatively gentle, and at the same time, he lowered it a little bit. The little guy in the basket was not frightened at all. He turned over and landed firmly on all fours.

Then he raised his head and gave Zhou Xu an aggrieved 'ow~'.

Zhou Xuchun pretended not to notice, endured the soreness of his muscles, and stretched his muscles vigorously.

During this process, the patrol team in charge of patrolling the outskirts of Heiyue Village was undoubtedly attracted by the movement here.

"leader!"

Thanks to the blessing of Zhou Xu's innate ability, most of the members of his tribe had good eyesight, and they recognized him from a long distance away, and then hurried over.

During this process, their eyes often drifted to the horse.

No way, although these tribe members have seen cows, they have not seen horses, and it can be said that this is the first time.

For the tribe members who have never lived in the grassland area before, this is a novel animal, and it is completely normal that they can't help but look at it a few more times.

During the period, the existence of the little guy undoubtedly earned a lot of attention, so that the members of the patrol team didn't know which side to look at.

Zhou Xu handed out the rein and motioned for them to help hold it.

Seeing this, the members of the patrol immediately rushed up to take the reins.

One of them reacted quickly and moved quickly. While taking the reins first, he winked at his teammates beside him, quite embarrassingly.

Zhou Xu smiled, ignored them, and walked towards Heiyue Village on his own.

This place is already close to the patrol area outside Heiyue Village, and there is not much distance from the village. It is just right for Zhou Xu who has ridden all the way on horseback. He can take a walk to refresh his muscles and bones.

As a result, during this process, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind...

System prompt: Congratulations to the territory of 'Zhou Xu', the 'Salt Lake Camp' has successfully upgraded and reached the 'village' level!

This system reminder was tentatively expected by Zhou Xu. After all, he had already experienced the upgrade of Black Moon Village. After the upgrade of Black Moon Village was completed, the construction team went to the Salt Lake Camp to work on the construction project.

Zhou Xu was not surprised that the salt lake camp was successfully upgraded to a village. It was a matter of time.

After the engineering team completed the project in Salt Lake Village, the next engineering task was undoubtedly the grassland camp.

Compared with barren mountain camps in the mountains, grassland camps have a higher priority.

The upgrade was not prioritized before, because the grassland camp may be taken away at any time. At that time, the tribe members they left there will also be forced to evacuate completely, so there is no need to invest too much energy in construction.

But it's different now.

Today, they seem to have gained a firm foothold on the grassland. Under this premise, strengthening the construction of the grassland camp will allow them to stand more firmly on the grassland and have more confidence!

However, the engineering task in Salt Lake Village has just ended, and the construction team has not yet returned to Heiyue Village, so Zhou Xu is not in a hurry to squeeze their labor force.

After all, he is not some kind of devil, he must let people take a breath, right?

Walking all the way, as the distance from Heiyue Village continued to narrow, within Zhou Xu's field of vision, the layout and scale of the village became more and more clear.

At a glance, there are stretches of farmland, neat houses, and well-located farms and work areas of various departments!

As the person who established it single-handedly, he is really too familiar with this place.

And it is precisely because of this familiarity that Zhou Xu's sense of accomplishment in his heart at this moment can be said to be so strong that it cannot be increased.

Judging from the scale, architecture and layout of the village, it has already surpassed the level of the primitive era. In Zhou Xu's view, it is not an exaggeration to call it a small town.

But the system did not give this judgment, which made him ponder in his heart.

What is the gap between his Black Moon Village and ancient towns? That's probably the city wall, right?

But Zhou Xu didn't intend to build a city wall for Heiyue Village.

His territory itself was developing at a high speed. Assigning manpower to build the city wall at such a time would not only waste labor, but also restrict internal development and construction.

In Zhou Xu's opinion, this idea is really stupid.

Not to mention that Black Moon Village is located in the center of his territory, and the chance of encountering enemies is relatively small. If he wants to build defensive facilities such as city walls, he must first build them for the grassland camp, so the probability of being useful is higher.

As for whether to build a city wall, the system will not judge this matter...

He doesn't care.

He doesn't care whether the system recognizes his territory as a village or a town.

On the issue of the development of his own territory, Zhou Xu must give priority to following his own thinking, and will not do this thing just to get the title of a so-called 'town'.

Unless it's any good...

But so far, no.

He returned to Heiyue Village after a long absence. Although he was exhausted from riding a horse all the way, his energy was not bad.

After leaning back on the office chair in his residence, Zhou Xu began to summon the ministers of Heiyue Village while sorting out the follow-up plans in his mind.

The first person to be summoned was Zhuang Mengdie, the head of the equipment department.

"Mengdie, the rattan that you were asked to process before, should be almost processed now, right?"

"Yes, leader, follow your instructions, just take it out and dry it again."

"Very good. Taking advantage of the good weather these days, we can start this step. After processing, we will start making rattan armor."

Zhou Xu had already told Zhuang Mengdie about the concept of rattan armor.

In addition to the time-consuming processing of the production materials, the production of this piece is basically not a problem for the craftsmen in the equipment department today, and it is estimated that Zhuang Mengdie does not need to do it himself.

As for the specific design, considering the upcoming battle in the mountains and forests, Zhou Xu still values ​​flexibility and lightness. He didn't plan to make the rattan armor that covers the whole body, but planned to use a light armor design.

Each set of rattan armor is divided into eight parts: chest guard, shoulder guard, elbow guard, wrist guard, leg guard, knee guard, hip guard and helmet.

Under this premise, also considering the mountain environment, the polearm may not be easy to use in the mountain environment with many obstacles, so he plans to make appropriate adjustments to the weapon.

Using rattan to make a single soldier's round shield, and then pairing it with a copper one-handed sword is the most suitable configuration he can think of so far.

The round shield was still handed over to the equipment department headed by Zhuang Mengdie, and the one-handed sword was handed over to the equipment department.

Zhuang Mengdie and others who took over the task left in a hurry.

Although according to their leader, the time for this task is not tight, after all, he will not mobilize troops until the next spring, but this does not hinder the arduousness of the task, which makes them dare not delay at all, and hurried back to their respective departments to make arrangements.

As for Zhuang Mengdie and the others, they had just left and were also summoned. Now, Zhao Geng, who had been promoted to the Minister of Agriculture, had just finished his work, and before he had time to tidy up, he rushed here covered in stinky sweat...
