Due to the capture of more than 100 bison, sulun did not continue to go deep into the wilderness. He planned to take these bison back to the camp first.
Even if only half of the more than 100 bison can be turned into farm cattle, it is a great progress for the agriculture of sulun territory. As for the advantages of cattle farming as fast as horse farming and more farming, sulun's poor horses can't afford to buy it. What a fart horse farming. Besides, horses plough faster and more, but horses are much more difficult to raise than cattle.
Whether it is a military horse or a nag, the requirements for breeding are very high. Horses are very delicate animals and are easy to be damaged. A good military horse needs at least 30 ginals in kart City, and 40 or even 50 for better ones.
Moreover, these military horses need to feed refined feed and eat at night. It can be said that the feed of these horses is better than that of many people. The food consumed by such a military horse every year is at least ten jinnars. Although the nag does not need such good feeding, it needs at least three jinnars a year. You know, many civilians only earn about five jinnars a year.
In contrast, the cost of raising cattle is much lower, and there is only one horse skin when the horse is dead. When the cattle are old, the meat can be sold for money, not to mention the horn can also be used to make a bow. Naturally, it is more cost-effective for cattle to cultivate.
These bison brought back by Suellen are irritable and hard to tame. It is not easy for ordinary people to resist them, and they often hurt themselves, but these are not problems for barbarians. The barbarian tribes in the Northern Wilderness basically catch bison for feeding. Domesticating bison is basic for them.
What's more, Su Lun has the ultimate way to tame the bison, putting rings through the nostrils of the bison. The cow's nose is very sensitive. After putting on the ring, the bison, no matter how grumpy, will become a obedient baby. As for the strength of adult cattle, it is not good to wear rings? Two barbarian warriors can easily press it to the ground.
When he returned to the camp, sulun counted the bison. There were 97 adult bison, including 42 bulls, the rest were cows, and there were 21 calves about one year old.
These bison sulun is ready to let the barbarian women and children feed and cultivate. These women and children are the most suitable in the current camp.
Over time, it has been a month since Suellen came to the wilderness. After the hard work of more than 1000 goblin dog heads and jackal slaves, the camp is changing every day.
The wharf of Hongsha river has been expanded a lot, from only three fishing boats in the beginning to seven fishing boats now, and the berths of the port have also been expanded five times, which can accommodate more ships to load and unload goods at the same time.
At the lower reaches of the river, a row of four water tankers stand by the river. These water tankers are hydraulic machinery of blacksmith shop, including two hydraulic forging machines, one hydraulic blower and the other crusher for crushing ore or waste iron materials. However, there is no iron ore in the territory and this machine is not running.
The walls of the camp have all been made of stone. The five meter high and one meter thick walls surround the whole camp. Although these walls are far worse than kolenta City, even Blackstone City, they are enough to defend goblins, dog heads and jackals.
With this wall, the safety factor of the territory has been directly increased by 50.
In addition to the city walls, many roads have been opened up in the territory, from the establishment to logging yards, ports and farmland. Many of these roads are paved with stones. A large number of polished pebbles are scattered on the river beach. Su Lun specially asked goblins and dog headed people to transport them in bamboo baskets to pave the road.
To build this kind of road, first flatten the soil, then sprinkle water, press the pebbles in, and then roll back and forth with a stone roller. Finally, the built road is flat and solid. Even in rainy days, it will not become muddy, and in sunny days, it will not be dusty. It can be said that only in terms of roads, sulun is stronger than many large cities of human beings in this period.
On both sides of the road are drainage channels about one meter wide and half a meter deep. According to Su Lun's idea, the whole camp must have perfect drainage facilities to discharge all the domestic sewage of the whole city. He can't stand that his territory is shrouded in the smell of feces and urine fermentation like other cities in this era.
Outside the city wall, not far from the river, more than 500 goblins and koeheaded slaves are using tools to reclaim farmland under the supervision of several human mercenaries. A team of supervisors are urging them to work hard. If the slave dares to be lazy, a whip will soon crack his skin and flesh. These overseers are not human, they are also goblins and dog headed people.
After a period of enslavement, some flexible goblins or dog headed people took the initiative to take refuge in humans. Su Lun agreed after considering it. Anyway, the territory is seriously understaffed, and these goblins supervisors can just supplement it.
As for these goblin supervisors? This situation will not happen at all. With the self-interest, arrogant and timid personality of goblins, after they become supervisors, they bully their peers harder than humans. Once they do not do well, Suellen will not punish them. Just throw them back. The oppressed goblin slaves will treat these guys well.
Suellen also found a problem that those slave supervisors were systematically recognized.
[goblin Supervisor: improve goblin work efficiency by 20%. Reduce slave stability by 10%. He was originally a member of goblins, but in order to eat better food every day, he decided to be loyal to Suellen. He has good language talent. He has learned some human languages and can communicate with humans. At the same time, he is familiar with goblin habits and can better command goblins Make.]
In addition to goblins, there are also koeheads and even jackals who are willing to take refuge as supervisors, which greatly reduces the shortage of manpower in the camp.
Accustomed to the clean and tidy urban layout of his previous life, sulun's requirements for his territory are the same. In his urban planning, roads are neat, with dug drainage ditches on both sides of the road, and even reserved flower beds on both sides of the road.
In the interspace where the roads intersect, there are neatly divided lands. These lands, either houses or shops, give the impression that they are clean and tidy. Public toilets are also set up in the same location on each street. If they are built according to sulun's design, this city will definitely be the cleanest and tidy city.
