Two prairie horses run on the dirt roads on either side of the concrete road.

This is the case with the road system in Liaodi, with eight meters of cement pavement and two meters of muck roads on the left and right.

Nowadays, Liaodi travel mostly relies on horsepower, and the cement road hurts the hoof, so there is this peculiar road structure.

However, these roads are not yet in their final form, or they are only the foundation laid by Zhang Qi for the later road era.

Now it is used like this for the time being, and when the materials science is improved day by day, it will be upgraded by using the original road of the new material team.

Asphalt, modified asphalt, modified concrete are all good choice objects.

Two prairie horses galloped on the muck road, one of them holding a wolf corpse that was still oozing blood downward, and these two were naturally Huo Quzhi, who had changed his name, and his hunter partner.

The plains of the Northeast are pleasant, and with the use of steam engines and water pumps, large areas of wetland swamps have been emptied and the ground has been drained, and the roads are green as far as the eye can see.

"Huh, after the third reservoir, it's time to go to the Animal Husbandry Division, do you want Brother Jia to stop and rest?"

The young hunter Li Ming asked Huo Quai, who was beside him.

After the two hunted this wolf breed in their own mountains, which was completely different from the local wolf pack, they decided to report it to the Animal Husbandry Department in case a wolf pack from the north and south posed a threat to the cattle and sheep raised in Liaodi.

Huo Quzhi glanced at Li Ming's question, pulled the reins of the horse and slowed down.

He has been in the army for many years, and he has not done it once or twice, and the journey from the foothills to the animal husbandry department is not even an appetizer for him.

However, he also knew that his hunter partner was not from a military background, and the meaning of asking this was probably that he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Then take a break."

Piloting the steppe horses, they stopped on both sides of the road.

Li Ming smiled, led the horse over, and then reached out and fumbled in the saddle bag for a while.

"Brother Jia."

A hard rod with a beige palm was handed to Huo Quzhi's eyes.

After taking it, Huo Quzhi looked at Li Ming with some puzzlement.

And Li Ming smiled proudly, and he said proudly to Huo Quai.

"Brother A, this is the army's emergency rations, ordinary people can't eat it, this is what my brother left me for emergency use, I don't give it to ordinary people, listen to my brother, eat one, you have the strength all day long."

"So powerful?"

Huo Quzhi looked at the hard rod with the length of the palm and the thickness of two fingers in his hand, and he was a little hard to believe.

However, he had also learned Xuanqi in Liaodi, so he did not refute Li Ming's words.

"Who am I, Brother A, don't know yet? I'm not liaring! ”

"Brother A will know if you eat and see."

As he spoke, he took a bite.

"Woo my teeth."

Li Ming clutched his cheeks in some pain, and the bite just now almost shattered his teeth.

Seeing this, the corners of Huo Quzhi's mouth were slightly hooked, and with a lesson from the past, he took out a water bag from his saddle bag, and then took out another cup, put the energy bar in the cup, Huo Quzhi poured some water into the cup and put it on the ground.

On the side, Li Ming was still squatting on the ground with his cheeks covered.

"Hahaha."

In this regard, Huo Quzhi finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Taking out a handful of soybeans, he fed his horse, which was chewing and looking very sweet.

After feeding the horse, Huo Quzhi picked up the cup, and the end of the energy bar soaked in water softened slightly, and he took a bite.

Salty, sweet.

The two tastes are intertwined in the mouth, and they are a little greasy, but Huo Quzhi also knows why Li Ming would say that he has the strength to eat one all day.

This thing is really anti-hunger.

"Good stuff."

Huo Quzhi couldn't help but sigh, and after three or four bites, he felt that his stomach was a little supportive.

And Li Ming, who was on the side, also recovered from the toothache at this time.

Seeing Huo Qu's illness eating like this, he also learned the same.

"Oh, it's salty."

Li Ming took a bite, and his face became bitter again.

I thought it would be something delicious and I could ask his brother to keep it for him, but I didn't expect that this thing would not be as delicious as it was delicious.

The only advantage is that it is anti-hunger and has enough flavor.

After only one bite, Li Ming put it back in the saddle bag, and looked at Huo Quai, who was still gnawing, and asked.

"Brother A, don't you think it's salty?"

Huo Quzhi nodded: "It's really salty." ”

"And you still eat so delicious?"

Huo Quzhi glanced at him and put the rest of the energy bar back into the saddle bag.

"When marching, this thing can save lives, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, it can quickly recover strength and physical strength is the main use of this thing."

Li Ming looked at Huo Qubing with some surprise, and he understood a little in his heart.

"Brother A.. Was it a soldier before? ”

"No wonder, only a soldier can have such sharp archery skills."

"But Brother Jia, at your age."

Li Ming was a little puzzled, Huo Quzhi looked only a little older than him, judging from the registered hunter files, his brother A was twenty-one years old, and he was nineteen, only two years older than him, how could he feel like Brother A had experienced a lot of things.

"Oh, it's all a bit of the past, okay, it's almost time to rest, it's time to go."

"Oh, okay."

Huo Qubing diverted the topic, and the two got on their horses again and ran in the direction of the Animal Husbandry Division.

Continuing to gallop along the road, it only took ten minutes for Huo Quzhi to see the third reservoir that Li Ming said.

A reservoir like a lake.

Slowing down, Huo Quzhi looked at the mirror-like water surface below, and the tall embankment in the distance was still flowing muddy water into the reservoir.

Maybe it was because of Huo Qu's curiosity.

Li Ming came to his side and explained.

"Brother Jia, this is the third reservoir, originally a depression, the surrounding terrain uplifted, and later in order to improve the swamp and wetland, the king ordered the depression to be grabbed downwards again, one is to obtain clay resources, and the other is that the king originally planned to use this as a reservoir."

"Although the water system in Liaodi is developed, the king said that it is better to take precautions than to come temporarily, in case future generations and grandchildren suffer from drought, these reservoirs repaired by us may be able to save their lives at that time."

"Besides, with these reservoirs, it's much easier to drain the swamps and wetlands, and they can be used to raise fish and irrigate the land, not to mention that we can use them now."

Huo Quzhi nodded.

"The king's foresight is indeed clever, this is the third reservoir, and there are many reservoirs in Liaodi?"

"Many, just the large reservoirs that have been approved are dozens from Liaoning to Changchun, not to mention the ponds excavated in villages and towns."

"Listen to the future plan of the City Lord's Mansion, and when the repair of the Liaoze Railway is completed, what kind of north-to-west water diversion project will be carried out."
