105 Animal Husbandry and the Evolution of Civilization

A heat surged into his heart, and then began to swim to the limbs, and soon concentrated on the lower abdomen, Xiao Feng's drill bit seemed to be full of electricity, full of energy, ready to move, if it wasn't for the last trace of reason in his mind to remind him that there are many people here, he may really can't help but do something out of the ordinary.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The sound of coughing and gargling next to him finally woke up the sanity of Xiao Feng and the female elf, Xiao Feng turned his head to look, I don't know when, Kayla came to their side, her eyes looked straight ahead, and she didn't look at them, but her face was flushed.

Xiao Feng smiled, and when he looked up, he saw that Bloom happened to come to his side, he was covered with wind and dust, but his spirit was surprisingly good, his face was tanned a lot, and the whole person looked more capable and neat.

It seems that a period of hunting life in the wild is also a kind of exercise for him, and he can feel that his whole spirit has been improved.

"What was the result of this battle?"

Xiao Feng asked Bloom with a smile, and Bloom looked at him very reverently and replied: "Great master, our results this time are very rich, although we didn't go far this time, but we also hunted almost forty cattle, because the weather is a little hot, we are afraid that the meat will spoil, so we came back early." And during your absence, we went hunting several times, and we came back with more than 300 wild horses, and with the horses of the original tribe, we already have about 400 horses. And we also caught more than 300 bison, and 200 wild sheep... ”

"What? You caught wild horses, and bison, and wild sheep? Why didn't I see that before?"

Bloom's report made Xiao Feng particularly surprised, the last time he left, he instructed Bloom to go to the grassland to catch some bison and wild horses and so on.

After all, the development of civilization is inseparable from the progress of human living standards, and when human beings begin to learn to raise livestock, the standard of living will improve, and civilization will naturally evolve and sublimate progress.

The benefits of raising livestock for the development of human civilization are more, first of all, after raising livestock, human beings can reduce the number of times they go out to hunt livestock in the wild, so as to reduce the number of times they face unknown risks in the wild, and the safety of life will be greatly guaranteed.

After all, dangers are everywhere in the wilderness in this era, and the fierce beasts that are also lurking and ready to hunt, or the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects hiding in the grass, or those invisible swamps that swallow people, all threaten human life all the time.

After raising livestock, it will also make the food source of human beings more stable, the food supply will be more abundant, and people can think about other things when they have a full stomach.

In addition, raising livestock will also promote the development of the leather industry and the textile industry, so that some human beings will begin to transform into craftsmen, and make a good reserve of manpower for the future evolution to an industrial society.

And the most important point is that the livestock can not only provide food for humans, but also greatly improve the efficiency of human work.

In particular, large livestock such as cattle and horses can help human labor, horses can carry people and carts, and cattle can carry goods and plough land, and these large livestock can be said to have made outstanding contributions to the development of human civilization in Xiao Feng's world.

That's why Xiao Feng told Bloom that when they went out again, they must catch some wild horses and bison and come back to domesticate, but after he arrived at the territory yesterday, he didn't see bison and wild horses, so he didn't think much about it, and now Bloom told him that they had caught hundreds of bison and wild horses, of course he wondered why he hadn't seen them before.

Bloom explained to Xiao Feng with a smile: "That's because, near the territory, there is not enough food suitable for them to eat, and there is no suitable place for them to live, so we went out hunting these two times, and we took them with us, there are enough wild grass in the wild to eat, and before winter, we will collectively kill the bison, leaving only those domesticated wild horses." ”

Xiao Feng then understood, why he hadn't seen bison, wild horses and wild sheep before, indeed near their territory, if hundreds of bison and wild horses poured in at once, the wild grass near here may not be enough for them to eat, after all, the wild grass here is far less lush than the wild grass on the great plains outside.

And there was no fence around here, so it was inevitable that the bison and wild horses would run around, and it would be troublesome to rush into the fields of crops that he had just planted.

Fortunately, Bloom was thoughtful, this is also a rudimentary nomad, Bloom took him to the left side of the platform, and then pointed to a flat land below, Xiao Feng used the moonlight to see a large black figure below, as well as the sound of horses and cows from time to time, these behemoths were quietly grazing and resting on this flat land at this time.

"Won't they run around?"

Xiao Feng asked Bloom, and Bloom shook his head: "It's okay, there are more than 20 knights watching below, and the wild wolves we domesticated last time will also help, so these livestock won't run around." ”

"Oh, what happened to the two wolves?"

Xiao Feng remembered the two wolf cubs he had saved in the cave before, and then he was taken away by a native who could domesticate them, and then he forgot to pay attention to it.

"The nightingale was very successful, although it was still a little wild, but it didn't hurt, and they would help watch these bison and wild horses, and they also hooked up with a few she-wolves in the neighborhood, and gave birth to several litters of wolf cubs, all of whom have grown up to be very small, and have begun to work with their parents. ”

"Very well! Call the nightingale at dinner later, and I'll 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 number of cattle goods, but also brought bison, wild horses, and wild sheep to surprise Xiao Feng.

In the evening, Xiao Feng held a grand dinner as usual, and the locals couldn't wait for this dinner party for a long time, and many Tulun people who were already familiar with them were also very curious about what Xiao Feng would bring.

The last time Xiao Feng held a dinner, the Tulun people had just been rescued and were not invited to a dinner together, so they could only watch the local people eat and drink, to be honest, the smell of the food made them hungry for a long time.
