110 Estuary
Xiao Feng made a rough estimate of this grassland, how can it be millions of square kilometers, and the grassland is full of wild grasses more than one person high.
These weeds are all natural pastures that are very suitable for large livestock to eat, although I don't know what kind of breed they are, and I haven't seen them on the earth before, but seeing the herds of bison that will emerge from time to time in this grassland, Xiao Feng can know that this weed is very suitable as food for bison.
In five days, Xiao Feng has collided with, or discovered hundreds of bison herds through drones, the smallest of these bison herds are more than 10,000 heads, and the largest ones are more than 100,000 heads, and there are not only bison, but also a large number of wild horses, wild sheep, and many other unknown animals.
This grassland can really be said to be the paradise of these herbivorous animals, there are not many natural predators, and there is endless food, and the herbivorous animals living here are really happy.
Xiao Feng led the team, and in the past few days, he has also eaten and drunk all the way, and caught a lot of wild things that he had never seen before, such as a wild antelope the size of a domestic pig on the earth, although it is very large, but it has a docile personality, and it is very flexible, and the speed is also very fast, it can really be said that it is the most flexible dead fat man Xiao Feng has ever seen.
If you don't have a gun, just rely on a bow and arrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch such a prey, this wild antelope's meat is very delicious, there is no fishy smell at all, and the sheepskin and wool also have high economic value, Xiao Feng pondered that if large-scale captivity in the future, these sheep can also bring him very rich returns.
Not to mention anything else, in the future, the main menu of his fast food restaurant may be braised mutton noodles and other delicacies.
There are also some wild deer, which also brought a lot of surprises to Xiao Feng, the body size is about one and five times larger than the sika deer on the earth, and the temperament is also more irritable than the sika deer on the earth, but the meat is also delicious, and the economic value is very high.
There are also pheasants bigger than ostriches, wild ducks bigger than flying cranes on the earth, wild geese twice the size of swans on the earth, and the animals here are all about a circle larger than their counterparts on the earth, and they may be wild, but the meat is very delicious, and there is no peculiar smell of large-scale captive poultry on the earth.
These are endless resources, if they can be used rationally in the future, Xiao Feng will be developed, and even if he is a farmer in another world in the future, it will be enough for him to make money.
And the main purpose of his trip is not these wild things, but mainly this big river, the natives say that this big river eventually leads to the sea, and the main purpose of his trip is to find the end of this continent and see the sea of this world.
Finally, on the seventh day of departure, Xiao Feng led the guards and found that the continent along both sides of the river in front of him was getting narrower and narrower, and there were endless plains on both sides of the river bank before, but now the undulating mountains can be seen in a few thousand meters on both sides of the river.
The mountains are not too high, and the air is getting more and more humid, across those hills, Xiao Feng seems to be able to hear the sound of the sea, as a child who grew up in a seaside city, Xiao Feng is quite sensitive to the smell of the sea, and the air has begun to be filled with the smell of the sea.
This made Xiao Feng very excited, and when he should have set up camp that night, he didn't stop moving forward, and kept leading the guards forward until midnight, and finally came to the mouth of the big river, and then stopped.
The guards behind were already sleepy and tired, Xiao Feng asked them to quickly set up camp and rest, but he was excited but he didn't feel sleepy, and he began to explore at the mouth of the big river alone.
The terrain here is very similar to the terrain of his British island in the world, the seaside is all tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high cliffs, only near the mouth of the great river, is a slope that stretches for several kilometers, slowly descending, and the great river flows down this slope and joins the sea.
Looking at the terrain here by moonlight, Xiao Feng became more and more excited, this is very suitable for building a castle, the confluence of the river and the sea, if it is well managed, this is the birthplace of the future marine civilization.
The most important thing is that there must be countless wealth in this sea, waiting to be developed with him, as a child who grew up by the sea, how could he not understand the wealth in this sea.
The gifts of the sea are endless, and any little of this seafood is enough for his tribe to eat, but after a period of contact with the natives and even the Tulun people in the tribe, he also discovered the weakness of these natives, that is, they are afraid of water.
After all, this is an era of extremely backward productivity, even the Tolonian people with a high degree of civilization and civilization will not build too large a ship, according to the information he learned from Kyle's actual side, in the entire Toulon Empire, it seems that the territory of the Starbucks family is close to the sea, and it is also a family that has more contact with water, and has been operating water transportation and fish fishing, but I heard that it is in the river, and the sea does not dare to go, after all, the navigation technology of this era can be said to be at all.
As for the other nobles, not to mention the natives, not to mention the sea, the big river is a very dangerous existence for them, and it is okay to catch some fish by the river, build a boat to go to the river to cast nets and fish, then don't even think about it, there are few who can swim.
They have a natural fear of water, which may have something to do with the frequent flooding of the area in ancient times.
So if you want to guide and cultivate his tribe into a marine civilization, Xiao Feng knows that there is probably still a long way to go, so take your time.
Xiao Feng tossed until the early hours of the morning before going back to rest, and when he woke up the next day, he saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, but there was no movement outside, and the sky was still very dark, so he opened the tent and took a look.
It turned out that it was raining outside, and the warm current floating on the ocean and the cold current of the continent converged, which would bring abundant rainfall, maybe because he had been in a hurry for the past few days and was too tired to walk, maybe because it was cloudy and rainy to fall asleep, anyway, no one in his guard got up, and the snoring in other tents could be heard from far away.
Xiao Feng didn't wake them up, put on his jacket and came out, and began to calculate the amount and time of the rain, the rain did not stop until the afternoon, Xiao Feng estimated that the rainfall must be twenty millimeters, and then look at the nearby terrain, as well as the land on both sides of the river, although his geographical knowledge is relatively shallow, but he can also see that this is another piece of feng shui treasure.
Relying on this estuary alone, if a human city were to be built here, combined with offshore fishing and farming, it would be no problem to feed millions of people in this sharp part of the peninsula.
