i have a shelter.

Moss rode back a few minutes later.After such a short period of time, the racehorse was already a little out of breath, obviously because he couldn't bear the guy's weight.

After seeing this scene, George had completely labeled this horse as a 'commercial product', and looked at the last two horses with Moss and others.

The very tall horse was called the "Southern Wilderness War Horse" by Layton, and he was considered a representative of the Southern Wilderness.

According to Moss, the name of this kind of horse is 'Jakoni' - translated in Nanhuang dialect, it means 'a tough brave man who can endure hardship'.

Compared with the Maxima and the top racehorses, this horse is not as ostentatious in appearance, and some parts of its body are a little fatter, but Aji is full of praise for it.

This is a typical tall horse, because it has a mutant horse bloodline, it is 17 meters high at the shoulder!

George also knows a little bit about horses because he often exchanges ideas with Aji.The horse's skull is narrow in front and angular on the sides.The eyes are shining brightly, and the head and neck can be raised like a 'bow'. It is exactly the kind of excellent war horse that Aji said!

This is one of the specialties of the Moss tribe.During that special breeding, it was crossed with many mutated horses, so that it not only maintained its original advantages, but also greatly improved its load-bearing, endurance, and explosive power.

Among them, the environmental adaptability has also reached the level of 'superior', which can cope with the extreme environment in the war.

"Boss, you can see that the horse's chest is extremely broad, while its back and hips are broad and flat. This shows that it can have enough impact and stability during running. The thickness, length and body shape of the horse's legs are more It is the golden ratio, which allows it to consume less energy while having explosive power. But the strange thing is, judging from its nostrils, ears and thick and thick hair, it seems to belong to a horse in a cold climate."

When Aji said this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.He looked at Moss strangely, wondering if this guy was lying - isn't it hotter the further south you go?

George nodded and said, "Aggie, this should be one of the specialties of the Southern Wilderness—it does get hotter the further south you go, but it gets colder if you go further south."

These words are somewhat beyond Aji's common sense, but he has always believed in the boss's words.

But Aji smiled and said, "Big man, can this horse hold you? Our brothers, except me, are all very heavy in armor."

Hearing this, the big man glared, got on the horse impatiently, and said, "What are you talking about so much, you'll know if you don't see it!"

After speaking, he rode away.

In a blink of an eye, Moss rode his horse to the racecourse.Immediately afterwards, his obese body made several movements back and forth on the horse.In the end, he even stood on the back of a horse.

During his demonstration, Layton and Aggie's eyes twitched - the horse was not saddled!

Moss's riding skills are the main reason, but when the horse runs, it is also scary stable.It is conceivable that if it is a march, the soldiers consume very little when riding a horse. If the horsemanship is good enough, they can even sleep on the horse!

The big guy is really big, this horse, Moss only asks for [-] silver foxes - the price is the same as the war horse of the noble knight, but the quality is beyond a grade!

What surprised George and others was that the quality of this horse was close to that of a mutant horse, but its food intake was in the 'normal' range.Moreover, it can endure extremely difficult environments, not only with extraordinary endurance and load-bearing, but also in some extreme situations, it can fight by eating some grass.Even if you don't eat for a few days, you can still exert your fighting power!

It can be said that it is a high-end version of Qingfengma.And since they had this kind of horses, the people of the Southern Wilderness have eliminated all other horses as baggage horses.

In the Battle of Twilight, Nanhuang used this kind of horse to win the 'United Nations Army' of King Iberia.

The last remaining two kinds of horses, one is a large draft horse, and the other is similar to Qingfeng horse.

The shoulder height of the draft horse is only a head shorter than that of the Charvan horse, reaching 17!It weighs more than 900 kilograms!Although its strength is slightly weaker than that of the Charfan horse, its food intake is also much smaller. If it is marching and fighting, the logistics may not be able to bear it, but it is very suitable for farmers to plow the fields and pull goods.

This horse is not a mutant horse, but a specialty of Iberia.

Large draft horses like this are bred in large numbers in various kingdoms in the world.However, like the Charfan horse, this Iberian draft horse is somewhat famous.Because of their docileness and ability to endure hardship, they are loved by farmers.

However, although it is very tall and strong, it is very timid and difficult to be trained as a brave war horse-if there is a crowd in front of it, it may stop and even throw its owner out.Instead of being like a real war horse, even if it sees a group of corpses and spears, it dares to rush forward without hesitation.

Moreover, their bodies are very sluggish, and their sprint speed is not good enough, and they are not suitable for long-distance running.It is even more difficult to overcome obstacles.During the running, some stones or pits may kill the horse and the knight.

So although it has all the strength and endurance, it is only suitable for labor.

And if it is used to plow the fields, this kind of strong and large draft horse is not much worse than a cow.

The west is accustomed to using horses to plow the fields, while the east is accustomed to using cattle.Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but in general, horse farming is better in the cold weapon era-the country will not lack horses.

In fact, even with this kind of large draft horse, the arable land is not as deep as cattle, and it is not suitable for paddy fields.But the key point is that the staple food here is not rice, and the land here is sparsely populated.

The output of cattle plowing is huge, but the speed is relatively slow, and the output of horse plowing is slightly smaller, but the speed is more than three times that of cattle plowing!

Although the current farming plan of the shelter is much more detailed than before, it is not so strict.This kind of large-scale draft horse, with several heads tied together, can trot all the way, and one mu of land can be plowed!

On average, each horse can cultivate about 6 acres per day!

The cultivated fields in the Dome Eagle, the Valley, and the Basin occupy only a few percent of the land area, and the land reclamation is too impatient to wait, and the number of such horses is huge.

At present, there are only 24 horses in Qiongying, and there are only more than 6000 military horses.The gap with the 'France' in George's mind is far more than a world of difference

Not to mention the transportation in the subsequent war, these horses are a bit too few just for plowing the fields.

Now he can't wait to pull all the horses from the Southern Wilderness here, so that they can be used by the commoners

But [-] horses this year should be enough.With the current population and fields of Qiongying, an average of [-] mu of land per horse - war horses can't be used here too much, but cattle can be used instead.So this year's spring plowing can be satisfied.

The productivity liberated by these horses is huge, allowing more people to work on canals, waterwheels, and land reclamation.

For this kind of large draft horse, Moss' offer was much lower than that of a war horse - two hundred silver foxes.

Seeing that he was making an offer, George nodded his head directly. Moss couldn't help but opened his mouth and touched his slightly flushed face - he originally thought that George would counter the offer.

This kind of horse is now in the Southern Wilderness, and it is actually a 'meat horse'.In the past two years, when the food price in the Kingdom of Elda did not rise so much, the price of a cow was 40 silver foxes—24 copper plates for pure meat, and about 18 copper plates for a whole cow (500 copper plates per silver fox).Now the price of food and meat in Elda has tripled or quadrupled.However, although the price of food in Iberia has also increased, it has not increased so much.

Moreover, the prices of meat and dairy products in Iberia have not increased much.The price of a draft horse is slightly more expensive than that of a cow, but in Elda more than 100 silver foxes top the sky.

After seeing this horse, George looked at one last kind.

It is very similar to the Qingfeng horse, and it is a real specialty of the Southern Wilderness—Moss calls it 'Korfando', which in the Southern Wilderness language means 'hard work'.Layton, on the other hand, called it the 'Southern Wilderness Harness'.

According to Aji, this kind of horse may be the ancestor of Qingfeng horse.But in so many years of cultivation, there has been a big difference—since owning the 'Jakoni' Southern Wilderness Warhorse).This 'cole variety' is reduced to a draft horse.

If it is used for farming, it is an excellent small and medium-sized draft horse, used for pulling and transporting, and it is slightly smaller than Qingfeng horse - [-] kilograms.But their milk production is very good!And it is more fertile.

And they are said to be draft horses, but they are extremely brave.After training, they can be calm on the battlefield. The only disadvantage is that they have a low load capacity. With Moss's size, he must choose the specially bred and strongest 'Korfando'.And after riding, you can't wear armor.

The weight of Moss is equivalent to the weight of a noble knight wearing full body armor.Therefore, the ordinary 'Korfando' cannot allow the knights to wear heavy armor and ride.

And if it is used for plowing, although the speed will not be much different from that of a large draft horse, the depth will be much worse.

But considering their appetite, overall it is not bad.

Interestingly, compared with the Iberian draft horses, these 135 shoulder-high 'Korfanduo' have a stronger temperament.

Generally, people in the southern desert use 'Jakoni war horses' and 'Korfanduo' to breed together. When encountering wolves, the Jakoni war horses are brave and powerful, and can lead the horses to escape or attack the wolves. Dare to fight big beasts.And with the leadership of these war horses, the horse herd united by the 'Warriors' and the 'Auxiliary Soldiers' has also become very strong and vigorous.

In these two kinds of horses, some characteristics of the people in the Southern Wilderness are reflected-the people in the Southern Wilderness are the soldiers, and the slaves and slaves are the auxiliary soldiers.

The price of these 'Corfans' is 120 Silver Fox.

Looking at these 'Cole Fanduo' horses, George's eyes revealed an eager light, and he knew that in fact, this kind of horse was what they needed most now.

In fact, they can not only be used as draft horses, but also very suitable as war horses for light cavalry.
