105 Animal husbandry and the evolution of civilization
A wave of heat surged into his heart, then began to travel to his limbs and bones, and soon concentrated in his lower abdomen. Xiao Feng's drill seemed to be full of electricity, and his whole body was full of energy, ready to move. If it hadn't been for the last trace of reason in his mind that reminded him here
With so many people out there, he might really be tempted to do something outrageous.
"Cough cough cough!"
The sound of coughing and gargling from the side finally woke up Xiao Feng and the female elf, who couldn't help but wake up to their senses. Xiao Feng turned around and saw that at some point, Keira came to their side, looking straight ahead, not looking.
He looked at them, but his face was red.
Xiao Feng chuckled, and when he looked up, he saw Bloom coming to his side. He was covered in dust, but he was surprisingly in good spirits. His face was tanned a lot, and he looked even better.
Capable and neat.
It seems that a period of hunting in the wild is also a kind of exercise for him, and he can feel that his whole body's energy and spirit have been improved.
"What was the result of this victory?"
Xiao Feng asked Bloom with a smile, and Bloom looked at him piously and replied: "Great master, our results this time are very rich. Although we didn't go too far this time, we still can't go too far."
We hunted almost forty cows. Because the weather was a little hot, we were afraid that the meat would spoil, so we came back early. And during your absence, we went hunting several times and caught almost three hundred cows.
With the return of a wild horse, plus the horses from the original tribe, we already have almost 400 horses. We also captured more than 300 bison and 200 wild sheep..."
"What? You actually caught wild horses, bison, and wild sheep? Then why didn't I see them before?"
Xiao Feng was particularly surprised by Bloom's report. The last time he left, he had ordered Bloom and the others to capture some bison and wild horses on the grassland and raise them.
After all, the development of civilization is inseparable from the progress of human living standards. When humans start to learn to raise livestock and their living standards improve, civilization will naturally evolve, sublime and progress.
Raising livestock has many benefits for the development of human civilization. First of all, after raising livestock, humans can reduce the number of times they go out to hunt livestock, thereby reducing the number of times they face unknown risks in the wild, and their life safety will be greatly improved.
Assure.
After all, dangers are everywhere in the wilderness in this era. Wild beasts lurking for hunting, poisonous snakes and insects hiding in the grass, or invisible human-eating swamps are all threatening human life and safety at all times.
After raising livestock, human food sources will be more stable and the food supply will be more abundant. Only when people are full can they think about doing other things.
In addition, raising livestock will also promote the development of the leather industry and textile industry, allowing some humans to begin to transform into craftsmen, and prepare manpower reserves for the future evolution to an industrial society.
The most critical point is that raising livestock can not only provide food for humans, but can also greatly improve human work efficiency.
Especially large livestock such as cattle and horses can help human beings work. Horses can carry people and pull carts, and cattle can carry goods and cultivate fields. These large livestock can be said to have made a contribution to the development of human civilization in Xiao Feng's world.
Outstanding contribution.
That's why Xiao Feng told Bloom that when they went out again, they must capture some wild bison and tame them. But when he arrived at the territory yesterday, he didn't see any wild buffalo, so he didn't think much about it. Now Bloom told him
, they captured hundreds of bison and wild horses, and of course he wondered why he hadn't seen them before.
Bloom smiled and explained to Xiao Feng: "That's because there is not enough food suitable for them near the territory, and there is no place suitable for them to live, so these two times we went hunting, we brought only
We went with them. There are enough wild grasses in the wild for them to eat. Before winter comes, we will collectively kill the bison and leave only the domesticated wild horses."
Only then did Xiao Feng understand why he hadn't seen bison, wild horses, or wild sheep before. Indeed, if hundreds of bison and wild horses flooded into their territory, the wild grass nearby might not be enough for them to eat.
, after all, the weeds here are far less lush than those on the great plains outside.
Moreover, there are no fences around here, so bison and wild horses will inevitably run wild. If they rush into the crops he has just planted, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, Bloom and the others were thoughtful. This can be considered a junior nomad. Bloom led him to the left side of the platform, and then pointed to the flat land below. Xiao Feng saw a large area of black land below through the moonlight.
Figures, and the crowing of horses and the braying of cows could be heard from time to time. At this time, these giant beasts were quietly grazing and resting on this flat land.
"Aren't they going to run around?"
Xiao Feng asked Bloom, and Bloom shook his head: "It doesn't matter, there are more than twenty knights watching below, and the wild wolves we tamed last time will also help, so these animals will not
Running around."
"Oh? How are the two wolves?"
Xiao Feng thought of the two wild wolf cubs he had rescued in the cave before. They were taken away by a native who knew how to tame them. After that, he forgot to pay attention to them. At this time, Bloom mentioned them, and they must have been tamed.
It was so successful that it might have been domesticated into a dog, and dogs are also a major contributor to the evolution of human civilization.
"The nightingales have been very successful in domesticating them. Although they are still a little wild, they will not hurt anyone. They will also help look after these bison and wild horses. They also hooked up with several female wolves nearby and gave birth to several litters of wolf cubs.
They have grown up a lot and have already started working with their parents."
"Very good! Call the nightingale over during the dinner later. I will reward him well. He has done a very good job!"
The return of Bilodis and Bloom made Xiao Feng very happy. Not only did they bring back a large amount of cattle, but they also brought bison, wild horses, and wild sheep, which surprised Xiao Feng.
In the evening, Xiao Feng held a grand dinner as usual. The locals could not wait for this dinner, and many Tulun people who were already familiar with them were also very curious about what delicious food Xiao Feng would bring.
The last time Xiao Feng held a dinner, the Toulun people had just been rescued and were not invited to the dinner, so they could only watch helplessly as the natives ate and drank. To be honest, the smell of the food made them
