Because the pasture was first built, for a long time, hundreds of people could eat enough, but they did not have meat to eat. Now that these species are available, it won't take long for them to meet the best diet.

To this end, Li Zheng also specially used the fusion function of the guò war riding hall, based on wild birds and wild animals, and after many experiments and spent a lot of money, he fused two kinds of 'special war horses' suitable for consumption.

The first kind of 'war horse' fused from birds was named the red jade bird by Li Zheng. The fused birds are crimson all over, and their coat is as smooth as jade, and they look like red jade.

Adult ruby can grow up to 30 catties, and its size is very huge. Moreover, the meat of this poultry is delicious (this has been tested by Li Zheng himself), the feathers are very warm, and more importantly, the female ruby can lay an egg weighing about half a catty every day!

It's full of treasures!

However, in comparison, the growth cycle of ruby is longer, at least half a year before it reaches adulthood. Another disadvantage is that the amount of food is too large.

Another type of domestic animal that was fused with the guò wild animal was named the echinoderm pig. I don't know how the system mutates it, through guò wild boar and bison, bison and wild sheep, wild sheep and wild boar, these three combinations, after several fusions, finally got this kind of thick leather, bumps all over the body, looks similar to fat pigs.

Echinoderm pigs are as large as bison, fatter than fat pigs, and have a pair of curved horns on their heads.

Except for the growth cycle is slightly longer than that of domestic pigs by two months, and the food is slightly more, the other qiē is perfect.

The meat is tender and has a good taste and is suitable for eating. The fat is thick and heavy, which provides lard. The leather is tough, and can be used as a raw material for clothing, and the curved corners can also be used to make bows, which can be said to be very useful.

Of course, after synthesizing these two kinds of 'war horses' for life, the monetary rewards that Li Zheng received for completing the basic tasks through the construction of the grassland during this period of time have basically bottomed out.

But Li Zheng thinks it's worth it.

The main battle has a green armor war horse, which can fully meet the needs in a short time, and the grassland does not need too many other types of main battle horses. As long as you can safely expand the Qingjia War Horse and expand the scale.

If there are too many other types of war horses, instead of much benefit, they will produce miscellaneous things, and it will not be easy to manage.

On the contrary, pasture life is too barren and in dire need of fulfillment. These two kinds of livestock just fill this void. You must know that the development prospect of Li Zheng's grassland is not just a place for the supply of war horses, but a comprehensive political force!

There can be no shortcomings in all aspects.

And after the fusion of these two kinds of livestock, Li Zheng has definitely felt the benefits - at least, the house slaves in the pasture have more hope - although the red jade and echinoderms cannot be released due to the small number of them now, this day will come, right?

Thinking about the hardships and hardships of the outside world, compared with the upcoming happy life in the grassland, won't this cohesion and happiness come out?

Time is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the wax moon has arrived.

Up to now, the temporary demand of the entire grassland has basically been completely achieved. All kinds of buildings, whether they are system carrier buildings or supporting facilities, have met the requirements.

More than 300 acres of farmland have been opened, of which 40 acres of wheat have been green, and the 10 acres of melons, fruits and vegetables have also begun to move to the dinner table. Although the remaining 250 acres were still barren because of the season, the house slaves had already done the work of fertilizing the fields—the ashes of the plants and trees, and the manure produced by the cattle, sheep and horses, were all piled up in it. I believe that in the spring of next year, after planting crops, there will be a good harvest.

At the same time, the carrier building required for the system has been fully completed, and the system functions have been loaded.

Just behind Li Zheng's main house, the War Riding Hall, the Food Research Center, the Armor Research Center, and the War Riding Skills Center, four magical huge buildings stand one after another.

Although up to now, because of the money in his hand, Li Zheng has only used the functional building of the War Cavalry Hall for the time being. However, with the recent completion of various basic buildings and the completion of the basic tasks of the system, his package has been enriched again.

Li Zheng plans to synthesize a super-grain crop through the Guò Food Research Center before planting seeds in the spring of the following year - the grain yield in this era is too low!

This is the result of divergent thinking.

Ever since Li Zheng's experimental Tong Guò War Riding Hall fused red jade and echinoderm pigs, he wondered if he could study a new crop through the Gu ò Food Research Center.

After loading the food research function, he deduced from the information given by the system that the idea was completely feasible.

It's like the Battlehorse Hall, which doesn't focus on results. As long as it is an animal, it can be used to fuse. The same is true for the Therapeutic Diet Research Center, as long as it is a plant, it can be used for research.

With a reference, like an initiation, Li Zheng's heart was completely alive at that moment.

In the case of the Warhorse Hall, the current fusion object is entirely land creatures. So, what about the aquatic ones? What about flying in the sky?

Can it also be used for fusion?

It's an incomparable thrill!

In the same way, the Diet Therapy Research Center can also complete his imaginative vision!

This prospect is wonderful!

Li Zheng couldn't help but fall into a fantasy. However, he has an advantage, he knows that he eats food one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step and down-to-earth.

Although he believes that the picture of brain replenishment will definitely be realized in the future, isn't it still far away?

The Chinese New Year is a joy.

Although the Chinese New Year has not been as enthusiastic as in the next few hundred years, it has begun to take shape.

Under the guidance of the old man in the grassland, Li Zheng led everyone to worship the god Taiyi, the god of the four seasons, the god of Hebo, the god of the mountain and the god of the land, and slaughtered a few spiny skins and some red jade birds, and spent a full and happy Spring Festival with everyone.

Although Li Zheng also wants to make the Spring Festival grand and lively, at the beginning of the development of the grassland, it is good to be simpler. When you are completely rich in the future, it is never too late to come back, after all, the days are still long!

After the Spring Festival, the whole grassland began to operate like clockwork. The most important thing is to wait for spring sowing, and all of them are developing in the best direction.

Li Zheng has been immersed in the food research center for the past two days.

One is to research high-energy food to meet the needs of war riders, and the other is super crops.

The study of war cavalry food is quite smooth.

Li Zheng used alfalfa as the base, added various Chinese herbs, and some slight minerals, and after more than ten experiments, finally obtained a new forage grass that was very suitable for war riders.

This forage has many advantages, the first of which is that it grows very fast. It is more than three times faster than regular alfalfa, which means that it only takes a third of the time for alfalfa to grow, and the grass can be harvested. And after cutting a stubble, it will grow again soon.

The second advantage is that it is rich in energy. The same amount of new grass contains more than seven times more energy than ordinary alfalfa! In other words, the war horse, which originally had a huge appetite because of the consumption of ordinary grass, only needed one-seventh or a little less after this kind of grass was produced, and they could be full.

The third advantage is the high yield. This new grass is a tall plant with long, thatch-like leaves, but the mesophyll is very full. The yield per unit area is three times that of alfalfa!

Combining these advantages, this kind of grass, which Li Zheng named as thatch, is of great significance to the pasture!

One can imagine how useful the high-yielding, fast-growing, and energetic thatch will be in future wars - at least, the logistical pressures will be reduced countless times over!

The same number of cavalry conquests, in the same time, the amount of forage required is only a fraction of that of the enemy! With fewer people and fewer tools, you can meet the needs of a war! It's so important that it can almost dominate the victory of a war!

But don't be carried away by surprises – unfortunately, this grass has drawbacks. It has too many requirements for water sources, and it must have abundant water resources in order to grow well. A little bit of drought will either reduce production or die outright.

But Li Zheng is already satisfied.

Besides, with the backing of the research center, these shortcomings will be improved sooner or later, won't they?

With the experience of Maoli, Li Zheng has great expectations for the future research of super crops. But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and the best varieties researched are not as good as thatched at all.

Seeing that the money in the package had bottomed out, Li Zheng had no choice but to destroy all the dissatisfaction, sighed, took the only crop seed that could still be eye-catching, and walked out of the research center.

The seeds of this crop are mainly wheat, with beans and millet as sub-products, plus some herbs, and are synthesized by research. The yield of this crop is undoubtedly higher than that of wheat, the energy contained in it is also much higher, and the growth cycle is similar.

However, compared to the various advantages of thatch, this crop named ginseng is much worse. You know, in order to fuse super crops, Li Zheng even used a lot of ginseng!

Ginseng wheat contains only three times the energy of ordinary wheat, while thatch is more than seven times that of grass. The growth cycle is about the same as that of ordinary wheat, while the thatch is one-third. Compared with the two, except that the yield is four times that of ordinary wheat, in other aspects, ginseng wheat is not as good as thatch.

At the same time, ginseng wheat also has the same disadvantage as thatch - a large demand for water and fertilizer.

"That's it for now"

Li Zheng walked out of the food research center with a little sourness.

The mixture of anticipation and disappointment left him a little exhausted. This is much more tiring than practicing martial arts for half a day!
