Chapter 169 Return to Black Moon Village
Zhou Xu’s movement of lifting the basket was relatively gentle, and he also lowered it a little lower. The little guy in the basket was not frightened at all. He turned over and turned his feet towards Come down and land firmly.
Then he raised his head and let out an aggrieved ‘ouch~’ at Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xuchun pretended not to notice, enduring the soreness in his muscles and stretching his muscles vigorously.
During this process, the patrol team responsible for patrolling the outskirts of Black Moon Village was undoubtedly attracted by the movement here.
"Leader!"
Thanks to the blessing of Zhou Xu's talent, most of the members of his tribe had good eyesight. They recognized him from a long distance and ran over quickly. .
During this process, their eyes often drifted to the horse.
No way, although these tribe members have seen cows, they have not seen horses yet. 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 to not be able to help but take a few more glances.
The little guy's presence during this period undoubtedly attracted enough attention, so that the members of the patrol team didn't know where to look.
Zhou Xu handed over the reins and motioned for them to help hold them.
When the members of the patrol team saw this, they immediately rushed up to take the reins.
One of them reacted quickly and moved quickly. When he took the reins first, he winked at the teammates next to him, which was quite embarrassing.
Zhou Xu smiled, ignored them, and walked towards Black Moon Village.
This place is close to the patrol area outside Black Moon Village, and it is not far from the village. It is just right for Zhou Xu, who has been riding a horse all the way, to take a walk and stretch his muscles.
As a result, during this process, the system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind...
System prompt: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu's' territory 'Salt Lake Camp' for successfully upgrading to a 'village' level!
This system reminder was expected by Zhou Xu. After all, he had already experienced the upgrade of Black Moon Village. After the upgrade of Black Moon Village, the construction team went to the Salt Lake Camp to work on the construction project. .
Zhou Xu was not surprised at all that Salt Lake Camp was successfully upgraded to a village. It was only a matter of time.
After the engineering team completed the Salt Lake Village project, the next engineering task was undoubtedly the grassland camp.
Compared to barren mountain camps in the mountains, grassland camps have a higher priority.
There was no priority in upgrading before because the grassland camp could be taken away at any time. By then, the tribe members they left there would also be forced to evacuate completely, so there was no need to invest too much energy in construction. .
But it’s different now.
Now they seem to have a firm foothold on the grassland. Under this premise, strengthening the construction of grassland camps will allow them to stand more firmly on the grassland and have more confidence!
However, the construction task in Salt Lake Village had just ended, and the construction team had not yet returned to Heiyue Village, so Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to squeeze their labor force.
After all, he is not a devil. He has to let people take a breath, right?
Walking along the way, as the distance to Black Moon Village continued to shrink, the layout and scale of the village became clearer and clearer within Zhou Xu's field of vision.
At a glance, you can see acres of farmland, neat houses, as well as orderly feedlots and work areas of various departments!
As the person who established it single-handedly, he is really familiar with this place.
And it is precisely because of this familiarity that Zhou Xu's inner sense of accomplishment at this moment can be said to be extremely strong.
Judging from the scale, architecture and layout of the village, it has already exceeded the level of the primitive era. In Zhou Xu's view, it is no longer an exaggeration to say it is a small town.
But the system did not give this judgment, which made him think about it in his heart. What is the difference between his Black Moon Village and ancient towns? I'm afraid it's the city wall, right?
But Zhou Xu has no plans to build a city wall for Black Moon Village.
His territory itself is developing at a rapid pace. Allocating manpower to build city walls at this time will 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 probability 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. This will come in handy. The probability is higher.
As for not building a city wall, the system will not judge this matter...
He doesn't care.
He didn't care whether the system recognized his territory as a village or a town.
When it comes to the development of his own territory, Zhou Xu must give priority to following his own ideas, and will not engage in this matter just to get the name of a so-called "town".
Unless there is any benefit...
But as of now, there is not.
He returned to Black Moon Village after a long absence. Although he was very tired from riding the horse all the way, he was still in good spirits.
After leaning back on the office chair in his residence, Zhou Xu began to summon the ministers from Black Moon Village while sorting out the follow-up plans in his mind.
The first person 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 and take it out again. Just dry it once.”
“Very good, we can start this step while the weather is nice recently. After processing, we will start making the 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 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 does not plan to make the kind of vine armor that covers the whole body, but plans to use a light armor design.
Each set of rattan armor is divided into eight parts: chest protector, shoulder pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, leg pads, knee pads, crotch pads and helmet.
Under this premise, and also considering the mountain and forest environment, long-handled weapons may not be easy to use in mountain and forest environments with many obstacles, so he plans to make appropriate adjustments to the weapons.
Using rattan to make a single round shield, and then matching it with a copper one-handed sword, was the most suitable configuration he could think of at the moment.
The round shield is still handed over to the equipment department headed by Zhuang Mengdie for production, while the one-handed sword is left to the equipment department.
After taking over the task, Zhuang Mengdie and others left in a hurry.
Although according to their leader, the time for this mission is not tight. After all, he will not mobilize troops until the next spring, this does not prevent the mission from being arduous. This makes them dare not delay at all and return quickly. Arrange their respective departments.
As soon as Zhuang Mengdie and the others left, they were also summoned. Zhao Geng, who has now been promoted to Minister of Agriculture, had just finished his work, and before he had time to clean up, he was covered in stinky sweat. Came here in a hurry...
