Chapter 413 Mr. Mars visit, big ranch plan
Zong Shen exchanged rare-level talents for farmers in order to reserve talents.
Now except for the blacksmith apprentice.
"Cooking Manual" and "Introduction to Pharmacy" were also distributed.
Those farmers with rare talents are very smart, and the most important thing is that they are all literate.
This provides the basis for independent learning.
Erya and Xiaoping, who were originally responsible for taking care of the farmland, were also learning.
They studied "Introduction to Farming", but because they were illiterate.
So I have been learning how to read from other farmers with rare talents these past two days.
The growth potential of these illiterate people is much lower.
Even if there are books for them to study, it still takes more effort than others to grow up.
Overall, the territory’s talent development plan is in full swing.
This is a good trend and a good sign.
Luna took the [Fire Ginger Candy] and nodded obediently.
Her riding companion, the sentinel panther Murray, was snoozing comfortably in a corner.
Luna stepped forward, reached out and patted the black panther on the head.
He led the black panther to the kitchen.
To others, the Sentinel Panther is a fearsome jungle beast.
But to Luna, the black panther Murray is just a docile big cat.
As for Vereesa, she quietly returned to the terrace on the fourth floor alone.
The cold outside did not make her feel uncomfortable, but she still enjoyed the time alone in the snow.
Zong Shen watched Veresa silently go upstairs.
Every step of her plump body is a sight to behold.
But he had no intention of appreciating it.
Anyone can see Vereesa's melancholy.
After she was recruited by Zong Shen from [Nature Altar].
Most of the time, she was not happy.
It seemed that to her, the world had completely lost its color.
Everything is meaningless.
Not only Zong Shen can clearly feel this melancholy, but almost everyone in the territory can feel it.
In normal times, Vereesa rarely communicated with other people in the territory except for issuing orders to the combat team.
If I want to say that the person I communicate with the most is Luna.
Zong Shen often saw Luna pulling Veresa and chatting quietly.
In addition to her melancholy, Zong Shen's relationship with her was also awkward.
We are in a relationship that is neither close nor distant.
The most embarrassing thing is that when two people are alone, there is always an ambiguous feeling.
Vereesa's husband, Ronin, had died in the dimensional war.
So now Vereesa is a widowed widow.
This made Zong Shen wonder in his mind whether to take Vereesa away.
Otherwise, it would be really unbearable to see her so depressed and unhappy every day.
Having a man take care of her and fill her emptiness may be able to help her get out of her depression.
Zong Shen stood there, looking in the direction of the stairs, slightly distracted.
After regaining consciousness, he shook his head gently and walked out of the lord's small building.
Opening the door, the cold air hit my face.
Take a breath and feel refreshed.
The heavy snow has almost stopped, and only sparse snow particles are still floating.
The thickness of the snow reached nearly fifty centimeters.
It almost reaches the bend of the knee.
Zong Shen walked out of the lord's courtyard, one foot deep and one foot shallow, one foot at a time in the snow.
He took out the loader mecha and headed towards the east of the territory.
After the snow became lighter, the visibility improved a lot.
After Zong Shen had traveled two or three kilometers, he met the carriage convoy that Vereesa had mentioned.
This convoy consists of eight carriages in total, all of which are large transport carriages.
Each carriage was pulled by two prairie horses.
The first three carriages are enclosed, and the last five are wooden palisades.
When Zong Shen stopped in front of them in a loader mecha.
The entire convoy also stopped.
In the first carriage, a fat figure opened the carriage tent and jumped out of the carriage with a smile on his face.
He walked quickly towards Zong Shen.
Now Zong Shenke understood why the territory's defense matrix would not attack the convoy.
Because the person who came was Mr. Mars.
Mariel's biological father.
During this period, his favorability towards Zong Shen also reached 65 points.
The territory's arrow tower has already determined him as a friendly force.
At this time, Mr. Mars looked at Zong Shen, and his face was about to burst into laughter.
He didn't come here this time to see Zong Shen.
Instead, he came to fulfill his previous agreement and invest in building a large ranch here.
At the same time, he also brought several familiar traveling business friends.
Let them include this place in their business travel routes in the future.
Finally, let’s take a look at his lovely daughter, little Mariel.
But I didn’t expect that I would meet Zong Shen right after I arrived!
Being able to see Zong Shen at this moment means that he has returned from Bosibon.
Then the wealth left by my father's generation...
Thinking of this, Mr. Mars' eyes towards Zong Shen became more and more fanatical.
He opened his arms and gave Zong Shen a hug.
Seeing such enthusiastic Mr. Mars, Zong Shen almost got goosebumps.
After the two hugged each other gently, Zong Shen hurriedly moved a few steps and distanced themselves.
Only then did Mr. Mars notice that something was wrong with Zong Shen's dress.
"Master Zong, why are you wearing such thick fur?"
“The style is quite nice.”
"But isn't it hot if you wear such thick clothes in this weather?"
Mars said with a smile, and as he spoke, his expression suddenly became startled.
"Huh?"
"Why does this fur coat look familiar?"
"A bit like the bearskin coat I treasure..."
"Ahem..."
At this time, Zong Shen coughed awkwardly.
"Mr. Mars, on this trip to Bosbon, I have fulfilled my mission."
"Successfully brought back what your fathers left behind."
"Let's go inside and chat later."
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Mr. Mars' heart flew away again.
He didn't even bother to think about why Zong Shen was wearing a fur coat.
Whenever he thinks about the wealth left by his father's generation, he will tremble with excitement.
Although he doesn't know exactly how much money his parents left behind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But it is certainly not a small sum.
Even if he only got half of it, it would be better than what he had been doing in Citano Village for many years.
"Okay, let's go inside and chat..."
"By the way, I came here this time and brought another group of prairie cattle."
"They are all cows with calves."
"In addition, we also brought a few traveling business friends who are active nearby all year round."
"This is our previous agreement."
Mr. Mars winked at him and said.
According to the previous agreement, there is indeed such a thing.
What was said at that time was that Mr. Mars would fund the construction of a large ranch in Zong Shen’s territory.
As the host, Zong Shen only needs to provide the venue and ensure the safety of the ranch.
Mr. Mars will pay an annual rent and 10% of the ranch's income.
At the same time, we will also introduce several teams of traveling merchants.
"Okay, everyone, come with me."
"Master Mars, just sit on it with me."
Zong Shen nodded and pointed at the loader mecha he drove towards.
Master Mars will naturally have no objection.
Watching Zong Shen walk towards the loader mecha, I felt that his walking posture was a bit strange.
At this time, Zong Shen felt even more uncomfortable.
He stepped as hard as possible to minimize the impact of the snow on his posture.
Because the indigenous people cannot see the challenges of winter.
So he can't act too weird.
Wearing a fur coat can also be attributed to personal quirks.
If too many telltale signs are exposed, it will not end well.
In line with the principle of sailing a boat with care and sailing for thousands of years, I will not make waves if there is no benefit.
Zong Shen once again entered drama mode.
Finally, I got on the loader mecha and patted the empty seat next to the driver's seat.
Signaling Mr. Mars to get in the car quickly.
Even though he is fat, his movements are very strong.
After three clicks, five divided by two, he got into the passenger seat.
He looked at the driver's seat with curious eyes.
This kind of goblin magic mecha is not common.
There are similar things in giant cities.
But it is not a mainstream vehicle.
Zong Shen activated the loader mecha and turned the body around.
Crushing through the path opened when they came, they headed towards the central area.
This is a slightly contradictory feeling.
He and Mr. Mars are obviously in the same world.
Able to communicate, hug, and shake hands.
But experience a completely different climate environment.
But no matter how embarrassing it was, Zong Shen could only bite the bullet and continue.
Anyway, Master Mars doesn't have much power.
The level of those traveling business leaders is not too high.
Travel merchants are also divided into three, five or nine grades.
This kind of traveling merchant team mainly consists of village-level units or even settlements.
The scale and grade are not too high.
After seeing the prosperity of Bangcheng, Zong Shen's horizons also improved a lot.
Naturally, these people will not be taken seriously.
However, this is still a way to increase the activity and communication of the territory.
Although he did not have high hopes for this, he would not turn them away because of this.
Zong Shen drove the loader mecha and headed northwest from the east.
Be prepared to take them to farming and pastoral areas in one step.
Let’s finalize the building location of the large ranch.
Along the way, Master Mars watched the changes in his territory in amazement.
Compared with the last time he came back to the territory, the biggest difference is that the stalls here are bigger.
The buildings are arranged everywhere according to their orientation.
A large amount of vacant land has also been reserved.
Simple tamped roads were even built.
It seems that Zong Shen did not lie to him. He clearly wanted to build the territory according to the standards of the state.
And these changes all happened in less than a week.
The only difference is that this time the territory seems to have become depressed.
For several kilometers along the way, I didn't see anyone else.
After spending about ten minutes, Zong Shen led the convoy to the farming and pastoral area in the northwest.
"Mr. Mars, this area is the future farming and pastoral area."
"You can choose any piece of land on both sides of the planned path."
Zong Shen stopped the loader mecha, waved his hand, and said very boldly.
Mr. Mars looked at the large open space and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Especially when he saw the small pasture that was fenced on all sides.
He even opened his mouth in surprise.
Zong Shen's territory gave him a feeling that was both normal and not normal at the same time.
At least he couldn't understand the operation of enclosing the pasture with wooden walls.
And he has no concept of a lord's territory.
To him, the vast areas around here are ownerless wilderness.
So he thought what Zong Shen said was a bit funny.
The differences and generation gap between the lords and the aborigines were completely exposed at this moment.
He took a look and casually defined a square area about one kilometer long and wide on the side of the compacted road.
For aboriginal people, there is nothing particular about building pastures.
Just drive four wooden stakes at four points.
Then insert the fences at intervals of one meter and nail them horizontally with wooden boards.
If you're a bit vague, you can even use hemp rope instead.
It is not too difficult to build a four kilometer pasture fence.
With dozens of people, it will take about four to six days to completely finish the job.
Of course the fence is only part of the pasture.
It is also necessary to build six to eight hay warehouses.
In addition, a slaughterhouse needs to be built nearby.
Able to do preliminary processing.
There is nothing else to pay attention to.
If the future prospects are good, you can also build a meat food workshop.
For further processing, the prairie cattle will be directly made into air-dried meat, sausages, or other shelf-stable meat products.
Mr. Mars still has a certain degree of business talent.
He took his men with flags and wooden rulers, and spent less than twenty minutes determining the scope of the ranch and its future development plan.
In fact, Mr. Mars has no other requirements for Zong Shen.
As long as the safety of the pasture can be ensured, it is enough.
While in the village of Citano, his ranch was repeatedly robbed by bandits and bandits.
There are also many sneaky cattle thieves.
Every night in the middle of the night, some nasty guys would take the opportunity to break down the fence and steal the prairie cattle.
Neither the village guards' armed militia nor the night watchmen hired by Mars could completely prevent the ranch from suffering damage.
Every year, the number of prairie cattle stolen and robbed can account for more than 15% of the total number slaughtered that year.
Therefore, his choice to invest in a ranch in Zong Shen's territory was not a random decision.
What he valued was the military power possessed by Zong Shen's territory.
With so many professional warriors standing guard, ordinary bandits would have to think twice.
And there are many tall defensive arrow towers here.
When it comes to raising cattle, he doesn't care about location.
Anyway, there are large tracts of pasture around here.
After simple weeding, a handful of pasture seeds are sown.
It won't take long to grow pasture.
At the same time, the by-product of raising grassland cattle is cow dung.
Not only can it be fermented to make fertilizer, but it can also be dried and used as fuel.
In the aspect of breeding industry, Mr. Mars is a well-deserved master.
Overall, he was still very optimistic about Zong Shen's territory.
He has already made up his mind, if the first batch of grassland cattle breeding goes well.
In the future, he will move all the pastures in Citano Village.
We will also consider introducing a group of dairy cows.
Explore the depth of the industry.
Mr. Mars stood in high spirits.
All the minds are devoted to the prospect of the future.
