Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 59 [59] The fourteenth day has come!

seven o'clock.

Zhou Li'an and old Kenting rushed to the Stone Ranch. The Stone family had already woken up and prepared a simple sandwich for breakfast, and handed it to the two.

The Stones are practical people.

They sat down on the porch stairs, drank coffee, gorged their stomachs, and set to work.

"Yesterday, Andy and I screened the right-age horses in advance and drove them to three stables. Now we just need to load them directly."

During the loading process, Ben Stone carefully opened the horse's mouth one by one, so that Zhou Li'an could confirm the number of molars and check his health.

When a horse is one year old, it usually has 28 molars; when it is two years old, it will have four more molars.

So the deal is based on 28-32 molars.

For professionals who have been dealing with horses all the year round, they can know it at a glance.But Zhou Li'an still can't measure at a glance.

At this time, the value of old Kenting, a senior cowboy, is reflected.

Every time Benstone opened the horse's mouth, he would glance at it.

Stone noticed this scene, and waited for old Kenting to nod for confirmation before pulling the horses into the transfer cargo compartment.

Zhou Li'an's trust in their family is based on human kindness and respect; but if their family does not do their job well, it will be shameless.

The establishment of trust is mutual giving.

And the current situation makes each other feel very comfortable and decent.

From morning to night, there are six round trips.

All 320 horses were transferred.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the four men looked exhausted, but each of them had a smile on their faces, showing the joy and sense of accomplishment of completing the work.

"Zhou, go to my house to have a big meal tonight, and you and old Kenting can rest in the wooden house in the tourist area at night."

Stone invited.

But before Zhou Li'an could speak, old Kenting waved his hands and made simple gestures in sign language, but no one could understand.

Zhou Li'an could only ask, "You don't want to go? Too tired?"

Old Kenting nodded, and stopped using sign language at all, pointing to the direction of the stables and stables, indicating that the newly transferred horses still need someone to take care of them.

Zhou Li'an said: "Then I won't go either. I'll send you a ride and go to the town to buy some food and come back. Before I leave, I'll go to Stone Ranch to meet you again."

However, the father and son insisted: "Zhou, your order has helped us a lot. Even if you don't talk about business, you are still a friend of our family. Martina told us that when you come, you must be careful." Treat you."

Zhou Li'an hesitated.

Old Kenting walked into the house, went back and forth, and took a note: "Boss, I will take care of these horses. You should accept the invitation."

The kindness is hard to turn down, so Zhou Li'an could only agree.

But when he saw that there were only some bread and eggs in old Kenting's hut, he drove to the town first and packed him two large portions of Tomahawk steak.

When it came, old Kentine was flattered.

Zhou Li'an smiled and said, "You should still have some wine hidden, but as I said, don't drink when I'm here, can I trust you?"

Old Kenting nodded fiercely, and made a prayer gesture of the cross on his chest, probably saying 'you are a good person'.

Zhou Li'an said: "I don't believe in the cross, I only believe in myself."

After leaving a thoughtless sentence, Zhou Li'an started again.Stone and his son were still waiting in the town. They picked some drinks in the store to take back, and they would not go home if they were not drunk tonight.

Old Kenting probably only thought that Zhou Li'an was an atheist.

……

noon the next day.

Zhou Li'an woke up from a hangover, recalling the funny scene of hanging shoulders with Stone and his son last night, he couldn't help laughing.

When he went out, he happened to meet the father and son.

The three of them stared at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After a drunken madness, most people are ashamed of the previous day's behavior the next day.

Mrs. Stone stood by the door and joked: "Hey, it's not you who were so shy last night."

The three of them were exposed, but they laughed out loud.

Staying at Stone's house until the evening, Zhou Li'an chose to leave despite the kindness of the family, and brought back some dinner for old Kenting.

The family of three also said that when he leaves, he will definitely come to get together again; if you need help with the transfer at that time, just ask.

Zhou Li'an didn't plan to come again, and the transfer help didn't exist at all.

500 horses are in place, which has met the needs of the migration; after the southward migration is over, considering the formation of the Balance Knights and unifying North America, it may come to buy more horses.

After all, tribal breeding takes time.

Although it costs money to put in, it is more efficient.

The number of horse populations increases to more than 1000. If the [Time Flow Configurator] is accelerated, hundreds of cubs can be bred in one year.

However, time is gone forever, and the function of system time acceleration should be used with caution. Money can solve many things, but it cannot restore time.

……

three days later.

night.

The two completed a simple physical examination for 500 horses, opened the doors of the stables and stables, and released them to the pasture.

The short-distance transshipment did not cause stress to the horses.

Stone specially selects high-quality horses to sell to Zhou Li'an, which can be regarded as full of sincerity.

Zhou Li'an told old Kenting not to prepare food, he would go to the town to pack takeaway.

Then he said: "What kind of wine do you like to drink? I will bring some wine back. Your work has been completed, and my transfer convoy will arrive in a few days."

Old Kentine was on the verge of tears.

He hasn't drunk a drop of alcohol these days, and the withdrawal reaction makes him sweat all the time, and his spirits are listless.

He wrote a note, and specifically asked which one was more cost-effective to buy, and there was a profiteer who always liked to increase the price by 50 cents.

Zhou Li'an couldn't help laughing. Most of the communication between the two of them in the past few days depended on old Kenting nodding and shaking his head. Only things that were really difficult to understand would be written in a note, but they were expressed as simply as possible.

This note is definitely the one that old Kenting expressed the most.

He even drew a street map, marked the name of the store with a five-pointed star, and wrote: "After you go, report my name, and the boss will send a small packet of nuts, which tastes great."

Even after finishing writing, old Kenting was still worried, and pretended to go with Zhou Li'an.

Zhou Li'an didn't agree and asked him to look at the door carefully.

Arriving in the town, according to the old Kenting's request, he directly bought two cases of whiskey and loaded it into the car, and got several packs of nuts that came with it, which were Lin Qi's products.

Then he drove to the supermarket and bought a lot of frozen steaks, which he would leave for the little old man to eat later.

As the boss, Zhou Li An is benevolent to the end.The poor little old man chose his own life, so don't covet others to give him more mercy.

Finally, pack a sumptuous dinner at the restaurant and return.

When Old Kent saw the two large boxes of whiskey and a large amount of steak, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

Zhou Li'an dined with him in the hut, and because he couldn't communicate, he turned on the TV and ate and drank.

Feeling drunk, the old guy watched the wonderful episodes of the TV show, babbling and yelling.

He can drink really well.

One person got drunk after drinking two bottles, and drank half of the third bottle.

puff.

He fell off the sofa.

Zhou Li'an drank red wine, just for a drink.

He chewed and ate his dinner slowly, without seeing old Kentine move, turned and left.

Back at the racecourse villa on the opposite side, I observed the windows on the second floor before finally locking the door and preparing to pass through.

Today is September 9th.

The fourteen-day period has come, welcome the return of the true god! !
Whoosh.

His figure disappeared from the house.

……

On the land of primitive tribes under the moonlit night, there was solitude.

After the ministries returned, the noisy and boiling scene outside the valley was gone; in order to prevent the invasion of wild animals, the warriors of the Tushi tribe patrolled the living areas outside the valley every night, but they only lit a small number of bonfires.

The valley is still prosperous.

It's just that people no longer have joy.

These days, cow dung has been moved from the stone house in the valley to the tent outside the valley.

Back then, there were only three people who witnessed the coming of the true god for the first time, and they were the father-daughter siblings of Climbing Mountain, Snow Girl and Cow Shit.

Before my lord returned, Xue Nu was punished, and the responsibility of serving the gods fell on his shoulders; he prayed to the gods and called the name of balance all the time.

Even though he knew that the only one favored by the gods was his sister, he never gave up these days, and only hoped for a miracle to happen.

The night is dark.

He performed the last prayer ceremony of the day.

There are words in the mouth, and every setback of kowtow shows solemnity and solemnity.

Suddenly.

Whoosh.

He heard a rustling.

The moment he raised his head, a noble figure appeared on the originally empty altar.

Tears poured down unconsciously, and he almost instinctively knocked his head on the ground again, shouting loudly——

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

"O great master of balance, I, humble cow dung, your most devout servant, thank you for your mercy and forgiveness."

"The people of Balance are looking forward to your return day and night."

His cries alarmed the surrounding guards.

People came to watch, and the bodies of the strong warriors seemed to be frozen and stiff, and they murmured unconsciously:

"My lord..."

"It's my lord..."

"The true God has not abandoned His devout people!"

"My lord is back, my lord is back!!!"

Pieces murmured, intensified, and turned into crazily shouting.

The guards sprinted forward and prostrated themselves under the altar, constantly praising and prostrating.

The people at the entrance of the valley were startled, they just shouted into the valley, and ran to the altar impatiently.

In the valley, that cry still attracted people's attention.

The expectation of our Lord's return has almost become their recent nightmare; people will wake up from sleep, call out the name of our Lord, cry bitterly, and beg the true God not to leave.

No matter what happened outside the valley, just after the shouts, countless people got out of the tents, calling friends and running out of the valley.

More and more people gathered.

Hundreds and thousands.

On the altar, Zhou Li'an looked at the expressions of the people and knew that the effect he wanted had been successfully achieved.

Little goodbye is better than newlyweds.

That pair of fiery eyes almost burst into flames, igniting their bodies, willing to sacrifice for the true god of our lord.

Climbing the mountain, the elders are here.

The crying continued.

Zhou Li'an didn't stop them, but just looked at them quietly, his eyes were peaceful and deep.

Gradually, the praise subsided.

The two thousand people in front of them seemed to have reached a tacit agreement with Zhou Li'an, and they calmed down.

Immediately, Zhou Li'an's eyes fell on climbing the mountain.

When I climbed the mountain and felt the gaze of the gods, I immediately said: "My Lord is above, we humble people, obey all your words, and listen to your will."

"I ordered you to teach riding skills, are you negligent?"

Climbing the mountain hurriedly said: "My lord, I dare not neglect your will to climb the mountain! Now more than [-] members of the clan have learned riding skills. Even if they fall and get injured, no one has the slightest complaint. Sincere thanksgiving and worship to the Creator.”

Zhou Li'an nodded slightly.

There are more than fifty people, barely enough.

There are only 20 horses in the tribe, so they can only learn alternately, and the riding time is still short. Now that so many people can learn riding skills, it can be called efficient.

He never dared to make false reports about mountain climbing. The acquisition he said must be worthy of the name.

Immediately, Zhou Li'an issued a decree: "Starting tomorrow, the whole clan needs to be mobilized to cut down trees and build a shelter for horses outside the valley."

"I will give 500 horses to create the first balanced knight battle group!"

"Three days and nights, may you swear to me?"

As soon as the words came out.

Everyone around trembled.

They already knew the purpose of horses, and everyone in the tribe longed to become knights, but they were helpless because horses were precious and rare, and now my lord wants to create blessings again...

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

"My lord, I would like to make an oath to climb the mountain. If I can't follow your will, I will suffer eternal death!"

Zhou Li'an looked at the elder again.

The wisest elder in the tribe was inspired and said: "Report to my lord, each tribe has not yet returned, but when each tribe left, they all swore an oath to praise your grace, so as to become children of balance. people, to the highest glory."

The conquest of the war group is different from the migration of the tribe. The physical strength of the elderly and children is far inferior to that of men and women.

Zhou Li'an is not worried about rebellion.

Because as the Great Elder said, the twenty-sixth department has already returned.

this night.

Tu Shibu regains his joy.

They sang songs and danced to my Lord.

Zhou Li'an returned to the stone house not long after, and the scene outside the stone house made him slightly stunned. There were flowers, decorations, and even food piled up in front of the door; he suddenly remembered that there was a sleeping girl who was forgotten by him.

If Xuenv wakes up from her deep sleep, she will definitely become the first envoy of the Lord of Balance.

So, what kind of name should be bestowed?
