137 Forest economy
When Majes saw these buffalo, wild horses and wild sheep, his eyes shone. He really didn't expect that such a small tribe of three hundred people not only planted its own unique crops, but also domesticated wild cattle and sheep.
There are now more than 20 people watching here. The leading ones are Toulon herdsmen, and the rest are natives sent by Xiao Feng to learn from their experience. Among them is a native named Nightingale, who tamed two wild wolves.
As well as the descendants of these wild wolves, they play a very important role in the care of these bison and wild horses.
"Sir, these bison, wild horses and wild sheep are a huge treasure!"
He has already figured out that he will live under the leadership of this adult in the future. Of course, this Majes wants to work hard at this time in order to make a good impression in the eyes of this adult.
"Oh? How did your tribe tame these wild animals in the past? How did you deal with them after they were tamed?"
"This is very simple. Just make sure they have enough food. These wild animals are indeed very wild at the beginning, but as long as you starve them for a few meals, when they are extremely hungry, you can add some simple ingredients to their food.
It’s enough to train for a long time.”
Majes' answer made Xiao Feng very satisfied. It was indeed the most primitive way to tame wild cattle and horses. Food control, and then the formation of conditioned reflexes. Over time, these wild animals will get used to living with humans.
"As for the domesticated mature wild horses, we will choose those with good bloodlines and continue to optimize them, and then we will get the best horses, and then sell these horses to the people of the Carter Wheel Empire. As for the cattle, it is easier, the milk can be made into milk
Bulls can be killed for meat or sold to other tribes and humans, and their wool can be taken from wild sheep to make felt..."
Damn, he's such an all-rounder! He actually knows how to produce dairy products, make felts, and improve horse breeds. This black elf is so damn awesome, and it means he hasn't developed yet in terms of military force.
If they are allowed to develop in terms of force, this group may be able to rule the entire continent. For example, the Toulon Empire and the Caterun Empire do not seem to know as much about farming and animal husbandry as they do.
This Majestic simply showed off some knowledge, and Xiao Feng felt as if he had picked up a treasure. He was definitely an all-around compound talent.
"Then tell me, how do you raise these cows and horses for the winter?"
"Well, Sir, it seems that you need to build a few horse pens, cattle sheds and sheep pens here. Then before winter, organize people to go out to cut grass and store fodder. If the reserves are sufficient, these livestock can be guaranteed.
Overwinter safely. When spring comes, the calves will be milked for dairy products, and sheep can be sheared..."
Just by the simple words this guy said, Xiao Feng knew that he was definitely a real expert in animal husbandry. Even if he had read so many books on animal husbandry in modern times, in terms of actual operation, he was probably not that good.
Guys know better.
"Very good, Majes it seems that you also know a lot about animal husbandry. There are not many people here who know about animal husbandry and domestication, so I will leave the domestication work of these bison, wild horses, and wild sheep to you.
Before winter, you need to build sheds for these livestock to survive the winter, and also prepare feed reserves. How about that? Can you do it?"
Xiao Feng looked at the black elf and asked, and this guy actually turned red with excitement. After all, he was entrusted with important tasks by this adult just after arriving, how could he not be happy?
"Don't worry, sir, if you leave this work to me, I will definitely finish it beautifully for you. Our tribe has been doing these tasks for decades, even hundreds of years. We are really very qualified in this aspect.
experience."
Majes was full of confidence in these jobs in his old profession, and Xiao Feng also patted him on the shoulder: "Well, I trust you, so I will give these jobs to you. I hope you won't let me down."
Majes nodded vigorously. This adult trusted him so much that he must do the things he told him beautifully this time. This meant that the black elves would be able to gain a firm foothold in this tribe in the future.
Although they lived a prosperous life in the past, they have always had shortcomings in terms of military force. They were often bullied by their neighbors. It was okay for the people from the Katrun Empire to bully them. Even some natives, dwarves, and even elven tribes came back to blackmail them and let them
I have always been very angry and have no sense of security in life. Even if I am wealthy, I am just a piece of fish on someone else's chopping board.
It's different now in this Lord's tribe. Bloom has told him before that as long as you are willing to work hard and gain recognition from the Lord, no matter what race or origin you are, you will be recognized by the Lord.
Treat fairly and equitably.
In such a troubled world where human life is at stake, having such a fair and safe living environment is more important than anything else.
Xiao Feng still didn't let Majes go. He wanted to get to know this guy thoroughly. He felt that this guy's abilities were much more than that. If all his potentials were realized, this guy would definitely be qualified to serve as the Minister of Agriculture.
Xiao Feng took Majessis up the mountain again. It can be said that there are countless treasures in this mountain. In addition to those towering trees that reach into the clouds, there are also many other economic tree species. Xiao Feng does not know the species of these trees very well. They
Xiao Feng didn't know if the fruits could be eaten, but he had seen native people sometimes picking some wild fruits to eat.
Majes said before that they have great knowledge about fruit trees, and they have domesticated some fruit trees and planted them themselves. If they can't finish eating the fruits they pick, they use them to make fruit wine. It is said that their fruit wine is very good.
Xiao Feng is very interested in these. You must know that the mountain forest economy is also a very good source of income. If done well, it can bring income that is not inferior to agricultural farming.
In particular, Xiao Feng wants to bring some ginseng fruits to plant. The soil in this world is too fertile. Xiao Feng wants to know what the ginseng grown here will look like? How effective will it be?
You must know that in his world, ginseng is a crop with very high economic value.
Majes followed Xiao Feng and the others into the forest, and soon found several fruit trees that he was familiar with. There was a fruit tree that was similar to apple trees on Earth, and its fruits were similar to apples.
Majes called this fruit Hongyang fruit because it is red in color and grows toward the sun. He also picked a few for Xiao Feng to eat. Xiao Feng took a bite and found that it tasted crispy, sweet and juicy. It was really
