Chapter 995 New Year’s Plan


Chapter 995 Plan for the New Year

In horse breeding, one litter is basically one, and twins are rarely born.

These forty mares were not pregnant with twins. This wave of successful births of forty foals with the blood of the Horse King was just the first step in their breeding plan.

Don’t forget, there is also a probability issue here. These forty ponies may be exotic beasts, or they may be ordinary horses.

Ma Guotao initially tried to judge through his eyes.

In his opinion, there are hundreds or even thousands of foals bred under his hands. He can tell if the alien foals look a little different from ordinary foals.

But it turned out that it really didn’t work.

He looked at these ponies, and they all looked similar. Just by observing them with the naked eye, he could not tell at this stage which one was a strange beast and which one was not.

In this regard, Ma Guotao did not hesitate, and simply began to use the 'Peeping Eyes' to confirm the faceplates of these newborn foals in the simplest and crudest way.

During this process, fortunately, the forty mares gave birth at a time that was not concentrated, and there were staff who also had the 'Peeping Eyes' to help him share the pressure. This made their entire confirmation work go very smoothly.

But the result was that Ma Guotao's mood was slightly subtle.

The good news is that they successfully bred an exotic war horse!

Another piece of news that is not actually bad news is that there are only six foals that have reached the level of exotic beasts.

Out of the forty ponies, six strange beasts emerged.

Whether the probability is high or low, Ma Guotao has no reference at the moment.

It can only be said that the quantity was not as good as they expected.

But no matter what, these six alien-level foals must be trained intensively. As for the remaining thirty-four foals, of course they cannot be treated with ordinary foals. Mixed breeding of children.

Although they are not alien beasts, don’t forget that they actually also have Lord Ma’s alien gene in their bodies.

After they grow up, their physical fitness is likely to be stronger than ordinary war horses. It is even possible that during the growth process, the alien beast genes are stimulated, and they may directly grow into alien beasts.

In view of this situation, he has already marked key points in the plan he wrote in the past year.

At the same time, they have already prepared special stables and movable fences for these foals, and have marked each foal so that they can easily confirm their identity during the normal training process.

During this period, Zhou Xu, who was in the palace of Black Moon City, also received a report from Ma Guotao.

The number of six exotic-level foals is indeed a bit lower than expected, but Zhou Xu also knows that this matter cannot be rushed. Breeding like theirs basically from scratch is a long-term job. You still have to be calm in your work.

After confirming the report, Zhou Xu turned his attention again to the big map in front of him.

At this moment, as the director of the Geological Survey Bureau, Zhang Xuemei is cooperating with him in planning the next resource collection work.

The area shown on the map is the southern border of their Great Zhou Dynasty today.

And Zhang Xuemei’s work in recent years has been mainly concentrated there.

Although at this stage, most of their labor force is still concentrated in New Taipei District.

But according to the current work efficiency, the reconstruction project of the New Taipei District will be basically completed by the end of this year at the earliest, or at most by the middle of next year at the earliest.

By then, his southern border development project will begin.

Of course, this also includes further reconstruction projects for the coastal city. A large-scale construction project like this requires, in addition to labor input, a large amount of construction resources such as wood, stone, and metal.

If all these resources are transported from other regions, nothing else will matter. The transportation cost alone will not be small.

So from Zhou Xu's perspective, the best way is to collect materials locally. There are ready-made resource collection points nearby, which can save a lot of things.

“In this area, there is a high probability that there will be iron ore underneath...”

At this moment, Zhang Xuemei was pointing at the map and reporting to him.

As long as there is basically a mineral vein in the area, the stone problem can also be solved while mining the mineral vein.

At that time, a brick-burning factory will be built next to the mine. The mined stones will be transferred to the next door, processed and burned into bricks for use.

Listening to Zhang Xuemei’s report, surrounding the planning and construction of the southern border, various thoughts flashed through Zhou Xu’s mind quickly, and he took a pen to quickly record his thoughts so that he could organize them into A more complete solution.

After finishing the report, Zhou Xu directly gave Zhang Xuemei a short vacation, focusing on a balance between work and rest.

As for himself, he quickly threw himself into the work of organizing the plan.

At the same time, he did not forget to issue an order in advance, so that Zhang Xiaoshan could start to mobilize the labor force for resource extraction to the southern border.

Assuming that the large-scale construction project in the southern border starts next year, the resources required for the construction must be prepared in advance.

In this way, the related mining work will basically start this year.

For this reason, the labor force responsible for this work must also be in place in advance.

The best candidates at this stage are the miners and loggers who are already engaged in this work.

There are two mines near Black Moon City, as well as a forest land dedicated to supplying wood.

In the past two years, the development and construction in this area has reached a stage of saturation, and the demand for stone and wood has declined to a certain extent.

So removing part of the labor force will not have much impact on this side.

In addition, Zhou Xu has also made arrangements for the relevant transfer orders in the New South District.

Compared with Black Moon City, the New South District needs to provide some materials for the New Taipei District's reconstruction projects from time to time. The demand is relatively large on weekdays and requires sufficient labor force to support it. The labor force that Zhou Xu ordered to be transferred would be even smaller than here.

Considering the scale of construction in the southern border, this labor force alone is not enough no matter how you think about it.

Zhou Xu naturally considered this issue.

Don’t forget, now in the southern border, the war with the rat people can be said to be completely over.

In peacetime, at least one-third of the large lizard force currently pressing down on the southern border can be disbanded. At the same time, almost half of the human army headed by Bai Tu can be disbanded appropriately.

The remaining troops are basically more than enough to station in the southern border.

The disbanded soldiers are all ready-made labor force!

Needless to say, all of it was used directly on the construction project in the southern border, which just happened to save them from traveling back and forth.
