When returning to the north city of the town, Su Lun went to the Centaur city by the way. The construction area of the Centaur city is very large. 70% of the population living here are centaurs, and the remaining 30% are human. Compared with Jinghu City, the Centaur city is more primitive, and there are more animal pens here.
Centaurs are good at breeding, but not at farming. Outside the Centaur city is a large grassland. In addition to breeding cattle and sheep, it is also the origin of military horses in Zhenbei city. There are now 6000 or 7000 troops in Zhenbei City, but there are more than 20000 war horses. Now all the soldiers in the north of the town belong to horseback infantry.
Even some soldiers can fight on horseback, just like some half elves. They can ride and shoot easily. Compared with human beings, half elves are naturally agile and flexible, and because there are Druids in half elves, they are easier to communicate with animals.
Centaurs used to be nomadic, but now they have become semi nomadic. With the Centaur City, those Centaur herdsmen will return to the Centaur city to buy all kinds of materials. In the past, a large number of livestock of the Centaur tribe will freeze to death in winter, and many livestock will lose fat hungry without feed in winter, Every winter is very difficult for centaurs.
Now with Centaur City, these problems no longer bother them. The Centaur city blocks the wind and snow in the north. Now honeycomb briquette has been popularized in the north city of the town. It is very luxurious to install ground heating in the Lord's castle sulun. The same is true in the Centaur city. Coal stoves and chimneys are installed in all livestock pens. It is very safe for livestock to spend the winter here in winter.
Don't worry about orcs or jackals robbing livestock, and don't worry that these livestock will freeze to death. In the past, cattle and sheep lacked pasture due to ice and snow in winter. Now the north town is studying silage. Su Lun hasn't raised cattle and sheep in his previous life, but he has heard of silage, but he is also half a bucket of water. He only knows the name and some steps, But for the specific production method, it is also a half bucket of water.
Therefore, the Druids in the half elves can only study according to the few data provided by Su Lun. At present, these druids have developed some eyebrows, but they also need to use some natural spells to make silage. It is no problem for Druids, but it is difficult to promote them. After all, there are not many people who know natural spells, Not many casters will do this.
In addition to silage, Zhenbei city also provides a large amount of grain feed. Centaur city is inhabited by veterinarians, businessmen, humans who are good at breeding, and tax officials. All livestock transactions are limited to Centaur City, which is more conducive to tax collection.
Zhenbei city now has another job, that is, collecting wool. Not long ago, those semi elves in Zhenbei city developed wool textile technology. Now Zhenbei city can spin wool, silk, linen, cotton and other fabrics, but the output of other fabrics is not high except linen.
The annual income from the Centaur breeding cattle and sheep is still very good, so the life of these centaurs is much better than before. After all, when the Centaur tribe used to live, except that the chief of the Centaur could enjoy a good life, other centaurs lived no different from the orcs, such as salt, clothes, weapons, tea, pottery, wine and sugar, None of these centaurs can produce.
Now, after joining Zhenbei City, these things can be easily bought for a little money. Although the head of the Centaur tribe still has great power, it will be very difficult for you to let these centaurs betray Zhenbei city. The bottom centaurs don't want to go back to their previous life.
It's not just saying that from thrift to extravagance, from extravagance to thrift. In the past, we have never enjoyed such a sheltered City, with delicious food, warm clothes and our own property, which was impossible in the past. Now let those centaurs give up this life and return to the state of hunger and satiety, Mark, the half man at the bottom, won't agree.
This is also su Lun's intention. His way is completely Yang Mou. Even the heads of the Centaur tribe know it, but they can't blame or stop it. In this way, Su Lun now firmly ties the Centaur tribe to the ship of Zhenbei city.
Sulun didn't intend to completely annex the Centaur tribe, but let the Centaur become a vassal of the north town. From the current effect, it's still good. Mishen supported the change of the Centaur tribe. Before that, the Centaur tribe preferred robbery more often.
With four legs, fast running, accurate bows and arrows and strong combat power, the Centaur became the most famous robber in the wilderness. At that time, the Centaur was completely unwilling to trade. Later, they clashed with the orc tribe. Under the pressure of the orc tribe, these Centaur tribes began to try trading on a small scale.
In fact, if they had not traded with humans and received various supplies, the Centaurs would have declined in the confrontation with the orc tribe. Of course, the Centaurs suffered heavy casualties because they were too careless.
When Su Lun came to the Centaur City, cattle and sheep were trading here. The cattle and sheep raised by centaurs are now monopolized by Zhenbei city. Of course, when the number of breeding increases in the future, it will be gradually opened to other caravans. The number of cattle and sheep in this transaction is not large, and this season is not the time for cattle and sheep to come out.
"Welcome, Lord." the little mare mishen came to meet him with many centaurs, and then gave him a warm hug.
"How are you living here?" Suellen asked after breaking free from two towering balls.
"We had a good time. Just last week, there were several new lives in the tribe," said the little mare mishen happily.
"Thank you again for your help."
Su Lun waved his hand and said, "you're welcome. After all, the Centaur is already a member of the north town. As the master of the North Town, I have the obligation to make the people of the north town live better."
"You are the best Lord."
Sulun, led by Mishin, went to the largest house in the Centaur city. The Centaur tribe has no chief yet. A group of centaurs sit on mattresses made of linen and hay. In the middle of the room is a huge campfire. Several chefs are roasting sheep. Drops of oil fall from the whole roast sheep and bring clusters of flames. The chef is constantly brushing sauce while turning over the roast, This method was improved by Frodo. After all, the Centaurs used to eat only with salt.
Suron and mishen sat on the throne. In addition to more than a dozen centaurs, there were also some human beings who were tax officials and businessmen sent from the north town.
Although the banquet was very simple, the atmosphere was very good. These centaurs were still very satisfied with their current life. On the one hand, Su Lun's purpose of this inspection tour was to see the life of the centaurs, on the other hand, he was preparing to officially appoint the consul of the Centaur city.
The Centaur here is different from the Jinghu city in the north of the town. The main residents here are centaurs. It is impossible to shoot a person to serve as the consul, which will panic the Centaur, so the best candidate is mishen. However, in addition to the consul, more than half of the other officials in the consul hall here are human.
In particular, tax officials, market managers and material warehouse managers, even the city defense officials need human beings and centaurs. A team of soldiers will be stationed in the Centaur City, with a small number of only 100 people. These people usually maintain the security of the territory.
With these people in the Centaur City, they will not be completely controlled by the Centaur. The Centaur tribe is now the elder system. At the request of sulun, these centaurs began to learn human language.
In this case, the Centaurs in Zhenbei city gradually began to get rid of the primitive tribal form and slowly entered the era of civilization. Perhaps hundreds of years later, scholars studying the history of centaurs will call this the Enlightenment era of centaurs.
After staying in Centaur city for a day, Su Lun led the team to leave and returned to the north town.
The construction of Zhenbei city is still progressing steadily. As soon as it gets close to Zhenbei City, a cry comes from the sky. Su Lun looks up and sees a team of ice pterosaurs with wings of about three meters flying quickly. These ice pterosaurs have passed their infancy after feeding for half a year.
It takes three years for the ice pterosaur to enter his youth. At this time, he can carry out riding training. He is still looking forward to these ice pterosaur knights. In the last battle with the orcs, he saw the power of the orc bipedal Flying Dragon Knights. If the bipedal flying dragons didn't meet Alex, 3000 Eagle body banshees would die and be seriously injured.
The harpy Banshee can bully an army without air power. Once it meets a hornhawk knight, a pterosaur knight or a griffin knight, it will suffer heavy losses.
The biggest one in the sky is Su Lun's frost pterosaur. After seeing Su Lun, the frost pterosaur swooped directly towards Su Lun. The little guy Pu flapped his wings and wanted to fall on Su Lun's shoulder. It just seemed to forget his body shape. As a result, when he came down, he found that he had to fall on the ground next to him.
Unlike other ice pterosaurs, frost pterosaur has a thin layer of dragon scales on its body surface. Although its defense is not as strong as that of a real dragon, it is still much stronger than that of an ordinary pterosaur.
Su Lun rubbed his head and let the little guy play by himself. Although the little guy was less than a year old, Yalong also had dragon power. His legs were soft with fear. After sending the little guy away, it took a long time for these horses to recover, which also made Su Lun notice the weakness of the horses.
When facing the enemy's cavalry on the battlefield, it seems that you can rely on Long Wei to directly scrap the cavalry's horses. What's the difference between cavalry without horses and tigers without claws and teeth?
