Cavalry training is not achieved overnight. In addition to horses, cavalry also needs to have various equipment, horseshoes, and saddles.

This is just the most basic thing. Light cavalry is fine, and there is no need to prepare horse armor. Heavy cavalry also needs to prepare a full set of horse armor. However, Su Lun does not intend to train heavy cavalry for the time being. There is a group of powerful barbarian warriors who can replace heavy cavalry to a certain extent.

Now the territory lacks some light cavalry, which can be used to detect, harass, sneak attacks, and deliver messages, and are widely used.

The weather gradually became colder, and when I woke up in the morning, there was already white frost on the window. Just yesterday, Sulun met a wandering hero, Hunter, in the tavern.

This is a small caravan leader who once traveled to various places, knew the prices of various goods and was familiar with the various operations of the caravan. When Su Lun invited him, the small caravan leader agreed without thinking and then went to terminate the employment relationship with the caravan manager.

Sullen appointed him as the tax officer of Town North Fort to collect taxes on the caravans. Chris and Gene were responsible for these things before, but now they have been handed over to Marnes, but he still needs to think of Chris to report on his work every day.

Evaluation: This is a qualified tax officer, and he will notice any behaviors that want to evade taxes.

You need to pay him a monthly salary.”

With the tax officer, the taxes in the territory became clearer, and under the influence of Hunter, those who wanted to evade taxes were also punished, greatly reducing tax evasion. Sulun could already foresee that the tax revenue in Zhenbeibao would increase again.

In fact, the structure of the officials in Zhenbeibao is not reasonable at all. There is no staffing for positions such as the town mayor, the commander of the guard, the garrison officer, the castle housekeeper, etc.

In fact, Chris was in charge of the mayor and the castle housekeeper. As for the commander of the guard and the garrison officer, Johnson and the Shiro were temporarily appointed, they were not qualified. There was no diplomat in the territory, and no one came to serve as the diplomat, after all, the position of the diplomat is very important.

To a certain extent, he is the spokesperson of Sulun. Basically all diplomats are from nobles. After all, this era is a confrontation between nobles. If you do not understand the etiquette and way of speaking, you cannot become a qualified diplomat at all, so this position can only be vacant. Perhaps he can train one by himself in the future.

Because of the formation of cavalry, Sulun has been commanding slaves and refugees to build horse farms and stables these two days. The winter in the northern wasteland is still very cold, and the warmth effect of the stables must be kept up, otherwise, when a heavy snowfall in winter, these war horses will easily be frostbite.

The stable was built southeast of the town, with a large open space here. Sulun also specially attracted a canal from the Red Sha River, and also selected five spearmen and five archers from the Spirit of War to station them here.

Although it is only a team of ten people, these war spirits cooperate tacitly and are well-equipped, and there is no problem in dealing with small-scale zombies or bear goblins. If they enter the territory on a large scale, they will definitely be discovered immediately, and the territory's barbarian guards will go and solve it as soon as possible.

The stable was built very quickly, and Sulun took time to create mud and stone for the stable, transforming the walls of the stable into rock. Soon the stable was built.

[Stable: A place where war horses live and rest, a good resting environment can make war horses stronger. Clean and tidy + 3, restore energy + 2, energetic + 1, reduce epidemics + 2, warm like spring + 2]

After the stable was completed, the centaurs who came to trade also arrived. Sulun asked to prepare the two hundred iron armors and twenty cars for the trade to transport food, and then personally led them to the agreed location between the two parties.

The camel beast pulled the heavy car forward, and more than twenty cars formed a long team. Sulun led the barbarian guard to guard the side, and there were thirty war spirits next to him. It can be said that for this transaction, Sulun had brought out most of the power of the territory.

He wouldn't naively think that he had agreed to a deal with those centaurs last time and sent the things directly. There is no law on the wasteland, and it is the reason for the big fist here, and it is popular to convince people with reason.

If Su Lun was not prepared to have enough deterrent power, even though the two sides communicated very well that day, once a large amount of interests was involved, he believed that the centaurs would never mind playing a guest appearance as a robber. Twenty carriages of grain and two hundred sets of iron armor, such a huge amount of wealth was enough for those centaurs to take risks.

Don't think about what credit they will care about. The rise and decline of tribes in the wilderness, the alternation of new and old is too fast, and they have no time or right to look at long-term development. Su Lun will not use his own goods to test the credibility of the centaurs, because nine out of ten they can't stand the test at all.

The transaction location between the two parties is on a plain outside Sulun territory. The terrain is wide. As long as a few people are arranged to stand on nearby high ground, the radius of several kilometers is clear. There is no need to worry about being sneak attacked. Even if it is a centaur's charge, they have enough time to surround the convoy into a formation.

Soon, he was a scout and rushed over, and kicked off the horse neatly.

"Sir, you have already investigated it, and there are no ambush around you."

"Take it again!" Su Lun nodded and said, and the scout turned over and ran away again.

The convoy continued to move forward, and about an hour later, the convoy arrived at the agreed location. At this time, the centaurs also appeared on the other side. Su Lun looked from a distance and saw that it was dark. In addition to the war horses, at least three hundred of these centaurs came.

......

On the other side, the Centaur who had just arrived here also saw Sulun's convoy.

"Kain, is that the lord who trades with you? He only brought such a few people. Should we eat them directly?" A centaur with a naked upper body, tall and muscular body, and covered in various scars on his body came to Kane and asked in a low voice.

"Kanter, don't do it first. The ability of these humans to gain a foothold in the wilderness means that they are not weak, but you can try their depth first." Kane thought for a while and said. "If the strength is not good, you know what to do."

"I understand, I'll go now."
