After Zhao Hao led people to subdue the last group of wild horses that had been discovered for a long time, he led people to repair them on the spot, until all the cavalry teams that sent the bison herd, the wild sheep herd and the wild horse herd were all gathered, and then he continued to set off with the team.
In order not to miss the beasts, bison, sheep, and horses as much as possible, he specially sent dozens of groups of scouts to fan along the edge of the jungle on the grassland in front of the team.
He also tried to control the speed at which the group was advancing, and every two hours or so he would order everyone to stop and rest, until all the scouts sent out had turned, and then he would order them to continue their departure.
In the beginning, they harvested a good harvest, basically, an average of one beast and a herd of bison, sheep, or wild horses every day, and the number of livestock with salt was almost doubled, and all the cavalry received more and more livestock.
Everyone was excited, and the search was getting more and more vigorous.
Unfortunately, this kind of good thing cannot last endlessly, and after more than ten days, the weeds on the grassland have become increasingly thin, and the herds of exotic beasts, wild cattle, wild sheep, and wild horses are becoming more and more difficult to find.
After about fifteen days of travel, a series of mountains appeared in the distance, and the mountains were so high that they reached into the sky.
Zhao Hao looked at the snow-covered snow on the top of the mountain and understood, here, it should be the end of this grassland, even if there is a grassland behind the mountains, it has nothing to do with this grassland, and under the existing conditions, it is almost impossible for them to climb over such a high mountain.
After more than 20 days of exploration in the western part of the grassland, it was finally over, Zhao Hao did not hesitate to order, everyone turned their horses' heads and returned to the salt station.
This time, he didn't just want to explore the west side of the grassland, he also wanted to explore both the east and the north side.
The journey back was quite fast, for they had already packed up all the beasts and the herds of bison, wild sheep, and wild horses along the way, and there was nothing that they needed to stop at, so they could have galloped at full speed.
After about ten days, they returned to the settlement of the Salt Ministry, which by this time had become a sea of joy. Fastest update Desktop::/
Because, these days, almost every day or two, cavalry drives back herds of bison, wild sheep, and wild horses, and the number of livestock in the salt department has multiplied by four or five times, reaching more than 200,000 heads, and most of them have been distributed to the cavalry who went with them this time.
That is to say, there are more than 1,500 cavalry from the Salt Department and the Black Stone Department, and there are more than 100,000 head of livestock, plus the original Zhao Hao distributed to the ordinary people of the Salt Department, at this time, almost every household with the Salt Department has hundreds of livestock, and they don't have to worry about the problem of meat, and they can also use meat and even leather goods to exchange a lot of useful things from the Black Stone Department to make their lives better.
At this time, Zhao Hao was also very happy, because in the past 20 days of hunting, he had hunted more than 10 foreign beasts, and he had eaten all the way, and his strength had reached more than 19,000 catties, and he still had a lot of foreign beast internal organs left in his hands that he hadn't eaten yet, if he ate all the foreign beast internal organs that he had left behind and didn't have time to eat, his strength would definitely exceed 20,000 catties!
Therefore, he decided to let all the cavalry now have a few days of repairs near the salt settlement, and wait until his strength exceeded 20,000 catties.
Of course, he didn't just have to be busy with this, because he also got a lot of livestock this time, although he only got about thirty percent of the livestock every time he hunted, but he couldn't stand the large base, at this time, the livestock in his hands had reached forty or fifty thousand, comparable to the number of livestock in the entire salt department before departure!
With so many livestock, it is natural to ask someone to take care of and raise them, and the people of the salt tribe basically can't even take care of their own livestock, what should I do?
There was no way, he could only fight the idea of the Blackstone tribesmen!
For this reason, he took Ah Yue and the three of them on a special trip to Salt Stone City, on the surface, he was sending foreign beast meat to Cangwu and Ah Xing, but in fact, he was preparing to give the Black Stone tribesmen a big sweep.
He is going to hire five hundred Blackstone tribesmen to watch over and herd his cattle, sheep and horses!
After Cangwu and Ah Xing received hundreds of catties of smoked beast meat, they were naturally very excited, and even Ah Xing shouted that he wanted to go hunting on the grassland with them, but Cangwu didn't stop him, and he was allowed directly.
However, his plan to hire the Blackstone tribesmen ran into unexpected problems.
He really didn't expect that a sheep a month or a cow a year was no longer attractive to the Blackstone tribesmen, and after he announced that he would hire the Blackstone tribesmen on this condition, no one would come to him to sign up!
At this time, he realized that the living standards of the people of the Blackstone tribe had also improved significantly, and they didn't have to worry about meat, just a sheep a month or a cow a year could feed them, and now, they could eat whatever they wanted!
In desperation, he could only raise the price, and he doubled the remuneration directly, two sheep a month or two cattle a year.
Now, it's always attractive, right?
To his surprise, after the salary was doubled, no one came to him to sign up directly, and there were quite a few people who came to him to hear the news, but most of them asked him if the salary could increase again or if the number of his livestock would increase. : :
This is simply an unbearable price for ordinary tribal leaders, just kidding, a month to pay people thousands of sheep, a year is tens of thousands of heads or thousands of cattle, who can withstand this!
Only Zhao Hao can withstand it!
Moreover, he doesn't care about this reward, anyway, he has more cattle and sheep, not to mention, he has to go hunting next, and the number of cattle and sheep will definitely skyrocket.
He can't eat tens of thousands of cattle and sheep alone, even if Ah Yue and they all eat desperately, it can't be eaten, the Blackstone tribesmen have high requirements for remuneration, which may be a bad thing for other tribal leaders, but it is a good thing for him, because this proves that the living standards of the Blackstone tribesmen are constantly improving, and his encouragement of trading is completely correct.
Two sheep a month or two cows a year isn't enough, right?
Well, if it goes up, it will go up, three sheep a month or three cattle a year, and after doubling the number of livestock, the reward will also be doubled.
At this moment, the clansmen of the Blackstone tribe were finally moved, and there was an endless stream of people looking for him to sign up, and soon, he recruited five hundred people.
Next, it's time to arrange the grazing grounds.
At this time, the grasslands around the Yanbu settlement have been occupied, more than 200,000 head of livestock, that is not a little grass can be fed, the people of the Yanbu tribe have even driven their livestock to the grassland near the Black Stone Department, when he came here, basically everywhere you can see tents, cattle, sheep and horses.
He had no choice but to move all his livestock to the west of the Blackstone Tribe, and equip all the hired Salt tribesmen and Blackstone tribesmen with horses, so that they could easily take care of and raise cattle, sheep and horses, and at the same time, it was convenient for them to return to Salt Rock City to visit relatives.
