Chapter 602: Extremely Crazy
There have been great changes in Prairie City in the past two years.
It is not just as simple as upgrading from a village to a city, but more importantly, even the positioning has changed.
Prairie City was originally built as a military camp. The purpose was to train and store troops, and to serve as their stronghold in the grassland area and take root here.
But now there are military camps on the grassland, and due to the year-round garrison, the scale is quite large in the back, and the facilities are complete. You can also train and stockpile troops there.
In this way, the functions of Prairie City and garrison camp are highly overlapping.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu waved his hand and officially moved the general camp to the garrison camp, and transferred Ye Jinghong there as the commander-in-chief.
After that, Prairie City developed as a serious city.
Subsequently, some new people were transferred here to contribute to the development here. Nowadays, the main focus is on the development of animal husbandry.
Looking around, Zhou Xu is still very satisfied with the development of Prairie City in the past two years.
So far, the animal husbandry and related industries here are doing very well, in line with his expectations.
Stepping forward, Zhou Xu walked towards the last stop of this tour, the racecourse!
The racecourse can be said to be the most important facility here in Prairie City. After all, it is related to the output of horses by their Great Zhou cavalry.
Outside the racecourse, the news that Zhou Xu was coming was received in advance. As the owner of the racecourse, Ma Guotao was already waiting there.
When he saw Zhou Xu coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I see you, Your Majesty!"
"No courtesy."
Zhou Xu didn't need to say more after that, Ma Guotao made a "please" gesture neatly.
Due to the special nature of this racecourse, Zhou Xu often comes over to inspect the situation. After going back and forth, he and Ma Guotao have undoubtedly become thoroughly familiar with each other. After completing the necessary procedures, they get along well on weekdays. Not so formal.
Looking at Ma Guotao's enthusiastic look at this time, Zhou Xu knew that this guy was definitely eager to show off to him.
Of course, having said that, Zhou Xu himself was actually looking forward to it.
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty."
Walked into the racecourse and arrived at an open space. While Ma Guotao was talking, Zhou Xu saw two racecourse staff in the distance, one on each side. Two ropes controlled a yellow horse and walked towards them.
During this process, I don’t know if I noticed Zhou Xu’s existence. The yellow horse began to struggle. When it came to the back, even its two front legs were raised directly, and at the same time it let out a burst of "Xu" Law's neighing sound.
Watching this scene, Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Is his temper still so bad?"
Needless to say, this is the bad-tempered colt that Ma Guotao chose.
Hearing this, Ma Guotao smiled.
"Although this guy still has a bad temper, he wasn't showing his temper just now."
"Oh?"
"It was squealing, especially squealing, so crazy."
Ma Guotao revealed the answer with a smile.
Zhou Xu nodded in understanding.
From the perspective of status, as a sweat horse, this guy is basically like a horse king in this racecourse, and it is natural for him to play the ceremonial horse. During this period, Ma Guotao did not forget to continue introducing him.
"A white face and four white legs, we generally call this kind of horse with five blessings."
The four white hooves are very well-proportioned and comfortable to look at. The originally brown hair has become brighter now. Now, under the sunlight, the body showing perfect muscle lines actually glowed with a metallic golden luster!
Even Zhou Xu, who has never studied horses, can feel the power of this horse from this form.
"Your Majesty, please look at its trunk."
Following Ma Guotao's guidance, Zhou Xu focused his attention on its trunk, and then, along with the bloody horse's Breathing in and out, the outline of the ribs, which looked like shark gills, was completely displayed in front of Zhou Xu's eyes.
"The naturally aspirated engine with the panoramic sunroof can travel thousands of miles in a day and 800 miles at night. A hundred kilometers only requires a handful of grass."
The first words are quite serious, but when it comes to the latter part, Ma Guotao also played a trick, Made a joke with him.
Under Ma Guotao's signal, two staff members led the sweaty horse around twice in front of Zhou Xu's eyes, allowing Zhou Xu to see everything.
"Is it ready for breeding now?"
I have to say that looking at this extremely handsome horse, Zhou Xu was also very excited at this time.
Of course, his reason told him that this bloody horse was meant for breeding, so he had to calm down.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it for him in the spring of next year."
In the past two years, after catching a certain number of wild horses, their horse farm in Dazhou has also taken shape. It has grown in size and has successfully given birth to many foals, but the one Zhou Xu is looking forward to the most is obviously still this one.
“Have you found any potential stocks recently?”
“Yes.”
While talking, Ma Guotao led Zhou Xu to a fence. Inside the fence, a black pony was circling slightly anxiously. This scene really seemed familiar.
“This horse is also a sweat horse?”
“It has some characteristics of a sweat horse. It is probably not a pure blood, but it is raised, kept for breeding, or used as a war horse. Not bad.”
After giving a brief evaluation, Ma Guotao obviously did not intend to stay here longer, and quickly led Zhou Xu towards the next fence.
“The main event is here.”
While saying this, Ma Guotao presented the white horse in the fence to Zhou Xu's eyes as if offering a treasure.
At that moment, Zhou Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Different from the previous sweaty horse that had been raised since childhood, this white horse is simply dazzling. Under the sun, its silver-white fur glows with metallic luster, and there is also a little pink. Three hundred and sixty Degree, every angle reveals its extraordinaryness.
Before Zhou Xu asked questions, Ma Guotao could not wait to reveal the answer first.
“This is also a bloody horse! The people in Mustang City caught it half a year ago.”
They were able to catch the colt in the wild horse herd, which meant that there must be a sweat horse in the wild horse herd. Zhou Xu had already guessed this.
But even so, Zhou Xu was still very pleasantly surprised when he learned that they had successfully captured a bloody horse.
“When it first came here, it was not so handsome, it was much more sloppy than this. I put in the effort and raised it for half a year before it became like this.”
Speaking of which, Ma Guotao's voice paused.
“Based on my age, I will wait until the spring of next year to breed him with two and give birth to a purebred sweat horse!”
Hearing what Ma Guotao said, Zhou Xu's expectations also skyrocketed. Afterwards, he chatted with Ma Guotao for a while around the topic of breeding horses, and then left.
