Chapter 608 413: Master Mars Visits, Large Pasture Plan
"Huh?"
"Why does this fur coat look familiar?"
"It resembles my treasured Bear Skin Coat..."
"Cough, cough..."
At this moment, Zong Shen awkwardly coughed.
"Master Mars, during this Boss Bang expedition, I did not fail my mission."
"Successfully brought back what your father left behind."
"Let's chat inside later."
Indeed, as soon as these words were spoken, Master Mars's mind flew far away again.
He couldn't be bothered to consider why Zong Shen was wearing a fur coat.
As soon as he thought about the wealth left by his father, he trembled with excitement.
Although he didn't know exactly how much money his father had left,
it definitely wasn't a small amount.
Even if he only got half, it surpassed the many years he spent running business in Sitanos Village.
"Alright, let's talk inside..."
"By the way, this time I brought another batch of prairie cows."
"All of them are cows pregnant with calves."
"Additionally, I brought along a few traveling merchant friends who are active nearby."
"This was part of our previous agreement."
Master Mars said to him with a wink.
According to the previous agreement, there was indeed such a matter.
At the time, it was said that Master Mars would fund and build a Large Pasture in Zong Shen's territory.
Zong Shen, as the host, only needed to provide the site and ensure the pasture's safety.
Master Mars would pay a certain lease fee each year and 10% of the pasture's revenue.
He would also introduce a few merchant teams.
"Alright, everyone, follow me."
"Master Mars, why don't you sit with me on this?"
Zong Shen nodded and pointed at the Burden-Bearer Mecha he had brought along.
Master Mars, naturally, had no objections.
Watching Zong Shen walk towards the Burden-Bearer Mecha, his walking posture seemed a bit peculiar.
At this moment, Zong Shen felt even more uncomfortable.
He tried hard to keep his pace, minimizing the effect of the snow on his posture.
Because the Indigenous People couldn't see the Frosty Winter Challenge.
So he couldn't act too oddly.
The fur coat could be attributed to a personal eccentricity.
But if he exposed too much, it wouldn't end well.
With the principle of being cautious and never taking risks without benefits,
Zong Shen once again entered his actor mode.
Finally, he got on the Burden-Bearer Mecha and patted the empty seat next to the driver's seat.
Motioning for Master Mars to hurry up and get on.
Despite his size, he moved with agility.
In a few swift movements, he sat in the passenger seat, with a curious look at the driver's seat.
Such goblin Magic Energy Mecha wasn't common.
There were similar ones in Giant City,
but they weren't mainstream vehicles.
Zong Shen started the Burden-Bearer Mecha and turned the vehicle around,
crushing through the path that had been cleared earlier, heading towards the Central District.
It was a somewhat contradictory feeling.
He and Master Mars were clearly in the same world,
able to communicate, hug, and shake hands.
Yet they experienced vastly different climate environments.
But no matter how awkward, Zong Shen could only press on undaunted.
On the other hand, Master Mars didn't have much power.
The ranks of those merchant leaders weren't very high.
Traveling merchants were divided into various levels.
Led by village-level units or even settlements, such merchant teams
wouldn't be considered large in scale or grade.
After witnessing the prosperity of Bang City, Zong Shen's perspective had expanded significantly.
He naturally wouldn't regard these people highly.
However, it's still a way to increase the territory's activity and communication.
Although he didn't hold much hope, he wouldn't shut them out.
Zong Shen drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha from the east to the northwest.
Planning to take them straight to the Agricultural and Livestock Area first.
Decide the location for the Large Pasture Building there.
All the way, Master Mars was clicking his tongue as he marveled at the changes in Zong Shen's territory.
Compared to his last visit to the territory, the most significant difference was the expansion here.
Buildings were arranged by location.
Plenty of vacant land was left aside.
Even several simple tamped roads were constructed.
It seemed Zong Shen hadn't lied, he was clearly gearing to build his territory to Bang City's standards.
Moreover, these changes occurred within less than a week.
The only difference is that this time, the territory seemed more desolate.
Throughout several kilometers of travel, there wasn't another soul in sight.
After spending a dozen or so minutes, Zong Shen brought the convoy to the northwest Agricultural and Livestock Area.
"Master Mars, this area will be the future Agricultural and Livestock Area."
"You can choose any piece of land within the planned pathways."
Zong Shen stopped the Burden-Bearer Mecha and gestured grandly.
Master Mars looked at the vast expanse of empty land, momentarily at a loss for words.
Especially when he saw the Small Ranch enclosed on all sides.
He was astounded, his mouth agape.
Zong Shen's territory gave him a sense of both normality and abnormality.
At least he couldn't understand the purpose of enclosing a pasture with wooden walls.
Moreover, he did not have the concept of a Lord's territory.
To him, the vast surroundings were unclaimed wilderness.
Thus, he found Zong Shen's words somewhat amusing.
The differences and gaps between Lords and Indigenous People were thoroughly exposed at this moment.
He took a look and casually circled a rectangular area about one kilometer long and wide beside the tamped road.
For Indigenous People, building a pasture doesn't require much consideration.
Just drive four wooden stakes into the four corners.
Then insert stakes every meter along, and nail wooden boards horizontally.
If feeling lazy, you can even replace it with Hemp Rope.
Establishing four kilometers of pasture fencing wouldn't be too challenging.
With a few dozen people, it could be completed in four to six days.
Of course, fences are just one part of the pasture.
Six to eight hay storage sheds need to be built inside.
Additionally, a slaughterhouse should be constructed nearby.
For preliminary processing.
There's not much else to concern about.
If the future looks bright, a meat processing workshop could be established.
Perform deep processing, directly turning prairie cattle into Dried Meat, sausage, or other preservable meat products.
Master Mars certainly has a certain commercial talent.
He and his subordinates used flags and wooden poles to measure, spending less than twenty minutes to determine the pasture's range and future development plan.
Actually, Master Mars had no other requests from Zong Shen.
As long as the pasture's safety is ensured, that's enough.
In Sitanos Village, his pasture was repeatedly raided by roving bandits and bandits.
There were many sneaky cattle thieves.
Every late night, some despicable figures would seize an opportunity to break the fences and steal prairie cattle.
The village's Armed Militia and Master Mars's hired Night Watchers couldn't completely prevent pasture losses.
Every year, stolen or looted prairie cattle amounted to over 15% of the annual number put out to pasture.
So he chose to invest in a pasture at Zong Shen's territory not just out of a whimsical decision.
What he valued was the military might Zong Shen's territory possessed.
With so many Professional Warriors stationed, ordinary roving bandits would have to think twice.
Besides, there are many Defense Arrow Towers here.
When it comes to cattle raising, he doesn't care about the location.
All areas around here are vast grasslands.
Just simple weeding is required, then sprinkle down some grass seeds.
It won't take long to grow pasture grass.
Meanwhile, the byproducts of rearing prairie cattle, which is cattle manure.
Can be fermented to make fertilizer, or dried as fuel.
In the field of animal husbandry, Master Mars is undoubtedly a seasoned expert.
Overall, he is quite optimistic about Zong Shen's territory.
He has already made up his mind, if the first batch of prairie cattle is raised successfully.
He will relocate the pasture from Sitanos Village completely.
At the same time, consider introducing a batch of dairy cows.
To explore the depth of the industry.
Master Mars stood spiritedly.
His entire focus absorbed in the prospects of the future.
