Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Construction in the mountains is far more difficult than on flat land.

To build a stable and strong building on uneven mountainous land requires the construction engineering department to invest more energy and time.

But as long as they have this cement, the difficulty of building a stable and strong platform on the mountain will be greatly reduced, thereby clearly improving the efficiency of the engineering team's subsequent work and improving the firmness of the building.

This is indeed the case. After getting the cement and confirming its effect with his own eyes, Wang Dachui regarded it as an "artifact" and believed that as long as cement was available, many of the problems he had encountered at work before could be easily solved.

Now that with the help of this 'artifact', the construction of the new village will be a piece of cake, right?

With such confidence, the engineering team headed by Wang Dachui soon set off aggressively.

Zhou Xu also went to Prairie Village afterwards.

During his absence, everything was fine here in Prairie Village.

Today, Ye Jinghong has basically adapted to the current intensity of work.

Regarding Ye Jinghong's ability, Zhou Xu, who had seen the opponent's faceplate, would certainly not doubt it. At the same time, the opponent was also one of his subordinates who gave him the most peace of mind.

After Zhou Xu returned to Prairie Village, after briefly understanding the situation, the first department he went to was the racecourse that Ma Guotao was in charge of.

After all, no matter which angle they consider it, there is no doubt about the importance of war horses to them.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhou Xu's arrival undoubtedly needs to be welcomed personally by him, the owner of the racecourse.

However, because Zhou Xu's arrival was so sudden, Ma Guotao had no time to prepare. One second he was bathing the foal in the racecourse, and the next second he took off his apron and rushed over. .

He looked really embarrassed right now.

Looking at his scrawled appearance, Ma Guotao smiled awkwardly.

"I was busy just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter, I came unexpectedly and disturbed your work."

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the biggest reason why Ma Guotao dared to come here like this was because he already knew Zhou Xu to a certain extent.

I know that Zhou Xu is actually a person who doesn't stick to trivial matters. As long as you control yourself and don't make mistakes in serious matters, he will basically not take trivial matters seriously.

Ma Guotao, who knew that Zhou Xu would randomly come over to inspect the work every once in a while, was familiar with this set of procedures, so he took Zhou Xu directly towards the inside of the racecourse.

Compared with the last time I came here, there were far fewer horses in this racecourse. At first glance, it even seemed a little empty.

Zhou Xu knew that this was because the war horses that had been domesticated in the winter were now at the garrison camp on the border. Those remaining at the racecourse, except for the old horses, ponies and injured horses, were the newly captured horses. Arrived and sent the wild horses over here.

Added together now, there are only more than thirty horses in total.

But don't think this is easy.

In fact, taking care of injured horses and ponies is not an easy job.

As for those old horses, they are actually not the kind of horses that are too old to move.

However, in Ma Guotao's opinion, they are not suitable to be war horses, or they are not suitable for high-intensity training.

If you continue to practice, it is very likely that not only will you not be able to achieve any results, but you will also easily injure yourself.

Even in modern society, once an excellent racehorse is injured, there is a risk of retirement, let alone in this primitive era with poorer medical conditions.

Rather than that, it would be better to use them as farm horses or for carriage transportation.

Of course, there is also the option of breeding.

In fact, at this point in time, Ma Guotao has already begun to work on horse breeding. If everything goes well, the first batch of foals bred by their racecourse will be born by this time next year, which also makes his recent work become more complicated. Busier.

"I heard that among this batch of newly captured wild horses, there is one that you are very optimistic about?"

While inspecting the racecourse along the way, Zhou Xu casually chatted with Ma Guotao.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ma Guotao immediately became excited.

"Yes, I have a hunch, this is definitely a good horse!"

Immediately afterwards, Ma Guotao involuntarily pulled Zhou Xu outside a separate open-air fence.

The fence was set up very high to ensure that the horses inside could not escape.

"This is it."

Following the direction pointed by Ma Guotao, Zhou Xu glanced at it. Soon, a small brown pony came into Zhou Xu's eyes, and then Zhou Xu's expression became subtle.

"Um……"

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because the brown colt in front of him really didn't make any sense, and from his layman's perspective, he felt that the horse was a little too thin and didn't look strong at all. It doesn't look like a war horse.

In addition, there are still patches of hair on his body, which makes him look very sloppy and miserable.

When he came over, the brown colt was obviously a little anxious and began to rush around the fence, as if it wanted to escape.

"Why not tie it up in the stable?"

"It is quite stubborn and has a bad temper, so I put it in this separate open-air enclosure every day to get some air and let it get in touch with nature and relax."

At this moment, Ma Guotao could probably guess what Zhou Xu was thinking about this little pony that looked very sloppy at first glance, so he started to explain directly.

"This little pony is currently in the embarrassing period of shedding. As for the fur, it will be fine after this period of time has passed. Don't worry about it. Its body shape and lines are actually very good. More importantly..."

While talking, Ma Guotao put on the armor placed at the entrance of the fence, and then slowly walked into the fence.

From the time the foal was captured until now, Ma Guotao has always taken care of it personally. Therefore, its wariness towards Ma Guotao is relatively not that strong.

The reason why it suddenly became anxious was because of the arrival of a stranger named Zhou Xu.

Under Ma Guotao's patient comfort, the colt's mood calmed down a little, and then Ma Guotao put the reins on it and led him over so that Zhou Xu could look more carefully.

"Although I'm not 100% certain, in my opinion, the appearance and characteristics of this horse are very similar to the Akhal Tekin Horse in our original world..."

Having said this, looking at Zhou Xu who looked confused, Ma Guotao quickly reacted and slapped his forehead.

[Your Majesty has not studied this before, so how can he know what the Akhal Tekin Horse is? 】

As this thought flashed through his mind, Ma Guotao quickly explained.

"In China, we generally call this horse a sweaty horse!"

The update is sent, and I would like to thank the book friend "Xian can meet but cannot seek - Da" for the reward!
