The forest trail on horseback almost wanted to draw a knife and cut down the white horse. The cargo ran faster and faster after opening its legs, completely uncontrolled by the forest tracks, and left all the entourage behind before it ran far. Lin Ji hugged its neck all the way so that it was not thrown off its back.

All the way over, because he wanted to speak, Lin Ji didn't wear a helmet. Blown all the way by the cold wind, his tears and snot were pasted on his face and turned into ice slag. But there are still nearly 10,000 people here to greet him. This time, the image of the king must have been ruined.

"The king is mighty!" Lin Ji immediately sat down, and the people who rushed over were stopped by a few people in front of them, and they were led to salute and shout.

"Everyone's worked hard." Lin Ji raised his voice and waved his hand around, only to find that his voice had become sharper when he said it, and the hatred in his heart suddenly became even greater.

"My lord, where are the county magistrates of Wude?" A person in front of him came out in line and grabbed the reins of the horse in the forest.

This is the first time that a stork has brought forest traces to the tiger forest grouper. The young man who almost died of illness in the Pei Monkey tribe is now middle-aged, and has grown up to become the deputy county magistrate here. As for the old man, he has already passed away.

"My horses are running fast, and they're still behind." Lin Ji explained, turned over and dismounted.

The storks have also been to the forest to take lessons, and they are more familiar with the forest tracks. He saw that Lin Ji's face was frosty, and hurriedly asked someone to get hot water to wash Lin Ji's face. Another person led the white horse to feed. The white horse won the first place in the horse race, and walked all the way on his toes.

Lin Ji washed his face, and Wu De and Chen Licai were embarrassed to catch up. Naturally, the usual meeting and conversation followed, and by the way, we had a barbecue outside the city before entering the city.

After entering the city, Lin Ji checked some of the work of the tiger forest grouper, and by the way, the requirements for flood prevention and the relief of the panic of the large southern beasts were transmitted to Chaolin City on the radio.

The kingdom has a top-down disaster response mechanism. Flood prevention is already in the relevant response mechanism, at this time, it is only necessary to increase the risk level of floods, pay attention to flood control and drainage design in low-lying areas in ordinary construction, and should be able to minimize losses when floods occur. As for the propaganda direction of the Propaganda Department, this does not have to worry about Lin Ji.

After inspecting all parts of the city, he knew what he wanted to see, so after inspecting a few key places, he took the forest traces to the elephant house.

The elephant house in the city is a large house five or six meters high. The mammoth's elephant house has only three walls, and only the mother elephant with the baby elephant lives in a house with a door. Mammoths are not afraid of the cold, and the elephant hut is enough to keep them out of the wind on three sides. Only the baby elephant needs better warmth.

Wude led the forest trail straight to one of the elephant houses with the gate closed. Although there is no heating, this elephant house is also relatively tightly closed. There are even a few large pieces of glass installed on one of the south-facing walls to light the house.

The crowd entered through the small door, and there were two disgruntled cries from the elephant inside, as if they blamed them for bringing the cold air in.

The elephant house was kept extremely clean, and several elephant slaves were waiting inside. A few gray mammoths lay quietly on their stomachs or standing. Only one end was constantly looping around the bolt post.

The body shape of these elephants is different from that of later Asian elephants, and it is really the same as the common mammoths in China. Or rather, these elephants are what mammoths look like when they cut off their hair in spring and summer.

Waving his hand to let a few elephant slaves be exempted, Lin Ji reached out and touched the hair of one of the elephants, and even rubbed a few to take a closer look.

These elephant hairs are relatively short and thick, not much different from the hair of later generations of oxen, and they are quite dense. But there are no traces of pruning. Apparently these elephant hairs are innate. These elephants are really a new breed.

The forest trails look around an elephant in an attempt to see more of the difference between them and the mammoth, in order to judge how close they are to the mammoth. However, after looking at it for a long time, it seems that I only see that their shoulder bones are smaller and their tails are longer. Besides, the difference is not too big.

This gave Lin Ji some other expectations. The difference between these two elephants does not seem to be as great as that between the later generations of dogs. If they can produce fertile offspring, China may be able to breed a new species of elephant. Could this elephant be more weight-bearing? More stamina? Can adapt to the climate along the Yangtze River and thus better nourish?

"This one is almost going to give birth. There is also this one, which has been pregnant for about a year, and it is estimated that it will regenerate in the fall. He pointed first to the elephant in a circle, and then to the one standing behind him.

The gestation period of an elephant is extremely long, about twenty-two months. Huaxia has been raising elephants for more than ten years, so he has mastered the relevant knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth.

"Looking at the situation, it is estimated that I will give birth in the next two days." An elephant slave is so flattered that he can understand the language of the forest.

China is vast and has dozens or hundreds of languages. After several years of fusion, the most popular one now is the Ji Lin Human accent - that is, the Chaolin accent. As for the Mandarin promoted by Lin Ji, it is considered to be the voice of the kingdom of God, although it has received relevant attention, but only those who have gone to school can master it a little, and those who have graduated from primary school may not be able to speak fluently, and those who have graduated from junior high school can barely speak fluently. It is estimated that it will take several generations for the forest trails to become widespread.

Hearing the voice of this elephant slave general towards Lin, Lin Jigao glanced at him and asked, "Can you be sure that you will be born in the next two days?" ”

"Yes. Yes. I've been raising elephants for seven years. I have seen no less than forty elephants give birth. According to the king's request, we should do a good job of keeping records like before and after childbirth. I can't read, but I remember it clearly. Although the elephant slave craned his neck, he said this with great certainty.

Lin Ji looked him up and down and asked, "What's it called?" How many years have you been a slave? Where was it before? ”

In the envious eyes of the other elephant slaves around him, this elephant slave puffed up his chest slightly and said: "My name is Kuren, I used to be a deer, and I have been a slave for eight years. ”

"Are there any women?"

"The year before last, there were. It's ten-sided. There are also three children. Big smart, already in school. ”

In two years, all the people of the deer will be freed from slavery. Men who are positive will also be given a match. This person had a woman two years earlier, so it can be seen that his performance is still good.

People in this era have no taboos about being a father. As long as the child is brought by a woman, it will become her own after marriage. The policy of China is that the children of slaves are not slaves, so as long as they can meet the requirements of going to school intellectually, they can still go to school.

After a few small talks, Lin Ji asked about the mammoth again, and finally decided: "Then I will stay here for two days and wait for it to produce before leaving." ”

The itinerary of the forest trail is basically arranged, and the maximum time to stay in the tiger forest is one day. Now I arrived half a day early and waited two days before leaving, which made Tiger Lynbald quite excited. The king stayed, which is naturally the best affirmation of everyone's work.

The elephant slave Kuren patted his chest and said that he would definitely look at the elephant and let it produce smoothly.
