Throne of Vientiane Civilization

In the past, Zhou Xu would ride a horse directly to go to Prairie City, focusing on high mobility efficiency.

But this time it was different. Because of the various tests he had conducted on the newly acquired mantra, his current state was not at its peak.

So this time, he directly changed to a carriage. While rushing on the road, he sat in the carriage and used meditation to speed up recovery.

After arriving in Prairie City, the first thing Zhou Xu did was to go to the Prairie Horse Farm.

He had not come since the Horse King successfully evolved into a strange beast, and he did not come when the strange beast horse was born.

Because he felt it was unnecessary.

As the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou, if he was really busy, he would have work to deal with every day, and there was no free time in the strict sense.

So when he went out, he basically asked Huo Qubing and Li Bowen to squeeze out time for him.

Under this premise, although the distance between Prairie City and Black Moon City was close, he would not be idle and run here every now and then.

Even this time, he came here mainly because he was going to the Northeast and passing by.

We're already at the door, there's no reason not to take a look.

By the way, at this point in time, because the breeding period has passed, Jie Liancheng and Ma Wangye are not at the grassland horse farm, but are wandering around the northeast.

It's been a long time since I last saw Ma Guotao and Zhou Xu. After a simple greeting, the two of them started chatting very enthusiastically.

While they were talking, they had already walked into the horse farm and came to the area dedicated to raising exotic horses.

Because the probability of breeding exotic horses when mating with ordinary sweat-blood horses is really low, the number of exotic horses at the grassland horse farm is only 18 at this time.

On the contrary, the number of sweat-blood horses with exotic horse bloodlines has now exceeded 100.

If it were an ordinary person, after all these years of busy work, they would have produced 18 exotic horses. This mentality would probably explode.

But Ma Guotao is different.

He is an old hand in horse breeding. As early as when he knew that His Majesty wanted to breed exotic horses, he had a rough idea of ​​the time investment.

At this moment, his mentality is more stable than that of an old dog.

However, when he talked about this topic with Zhou Xu, he showed obvious excitement.

Because the first batch of bred exotic horses can be bred in the spring of next year!

In fact, if you have to breed, you can do it this year.

But considering the time investment, Ma Guotao nowadays would not care about waiting for another year or two?

In order to ensure the quality of the first round of breeding, he must ensure that the first batch of exotic horses are fully mature.

For this reason, he specifically postponed the time of the first breeding to next year.

At the same time, the breeding of exotic horses is actually similar to the population growth in their Great Zhou.

In the early days, there was not enough base, and it was all up to the horse king to breed there, so of course the efficiency could not be improved.

But the situation is different now. For Ma Guotao, the most difficult days have been endured by him.

In the following years, more exotic horses will be put into breeding work.

During this period, those sweat-blood horses with exotic blood are also in his breeding plan, after all, they also have the probability of giving birth to exotic horses.

Following this trend, even if they continue to breed exotic horses with ordinary sweat-blood horses to compete for probability, the growth rate of exotic horses will be greatly improved.

In the end, the breeding of exotic horses and exotic horses will be formed, which can make the output of exotic horses further stable.

For this reason, starting from this summer, Ma Guotao is ready to start sorting out his breeding plan for next year.

After talking with Ma Guotao about the follow-up plan and seeing the newly born exotic horses and those sweat-blood horses with exotic blood, Zhou Xu rested for a night in the grassland city and continued to take the carriage to the northeast region.

In recent years, because Jie Liancheng was really idle, he gradually incorporated many primitive tribes here and expanded the territory of their Great Zhou in the northeast region.

Compared with the original, it is much larger.

But it is not a big problem. Compared with the territory waiting to be built in the southern border, this piece of land here is even a little insignificant.

In addition to the old god altar, the only important thing here at this stage is the oil factory of their Great Zhou.

After leaving, he never came again, and now he also inspected the situation of the oil factory.

"I, your subordinate Zhou Yifei, see your majesty!"

After receiving the news, Zhou Yifei, as the factory director, hurried out to greet him.

Unlike Ma Guotao, who had already been familiar with Zhou Xu, Zhou Yifei had only met Zhou Xu twice, and he was not familiar with the word "familiar".

The sudden arrival of their majesty made him nervous, and his whole face was unconsciously tense.

Seeing Zhou Yifei's nervous look, Zhou Xu smiled and looked him up and down at the same time.

"You've been living a good life. You've gained weight. You must be twice as fat as before, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yifei's face turned pale instantly, thinking that their majesty was pointing a finger at him.

"Your majesty, please understand! I have been running the oil plant for these years, and I have been working very hard. I dare not slack off for even a moment!"

While talking, Zhou Yifei couldn't help but bow down in panic, which made Zhou Xu laugh and cry.

But he probably realized that the other party was afraid of something.

"Why are you panicking? I didn't point at you."

At this point, Zhou Xu suddenly changed the subject.

"Or, did you do something wrong?"

"!!"

At this moment, Zhou Yifei's body, which had obviously become rounder, couldn't help trembling.

"No, no! I haven't done anything wrong! I have always been honest and dutiful..."

Zhou Yifei said while expressing his loyalty to Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu only believed half of Zhou Yifei's words of loyalty.

This guy is definitely not a loyal minister, but compared with the loyalty of only 60 points at the beginning, he should have lived a very comfortable life in recent years, and his loyalty has also increased to 75 points, so he can be regarded as a good citizen.

Under this premise, the identity of the time traveler is special after all, especially for a time traveler like Zhou Yifei who is not very loyal. Therefore, when the personnel were arranged at the beginning, Zhou Yifei was already monitored by the people of the Inspection Department.

In recent years, you can't say that Zhou Yifei has been conscientious, but generally speaking, he is honest.

No one is perfect. Zhou Xu would not bother with him for some trivial matters. He would just take the opportunity to knock him down.

After all, he is a three-star talent with professional ability, and it is impossible to deal with him because of a small matter.
