Chapter 213: Nature's Wealth
The city appeared at that time!
The reason for this was that the prey that had been caught had not yet died because there was enough food to eat, so the tribe of the Shennong clan tied them to the bottom of the tree house with a rope of bark. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The prey that can be left behind is some grass-eating prey, such as cattle and sheep.
But they didn't expect that raising and raising these animals actually raised and gave birth to cubs, and then they found out that in fact, domesticating animals is also a profitable business.
After all, what you eat is grass, but what grows is meat!
So they started a side hustle!
That was the beginning of animal husbandry, but the difference between this and nomadic people was that they were sedentary and raised.
From time to time to find a hunt, those who can't die are raised first, and then eaten, this full has food, and if you want to eat, you have meat, and you can live a good life!
After all, if you really want to say that hunting can't feed them, it's partly because if you can't finish eating the meat but can't put it away, it will spoil in two days.
After eating those carrion and eating dead people, the human race at that time did not eat the rotten and spoiled meat again, and they knew that this kind of meat was no longer edible.
That's why, at that time, there were often human beings hungry even though wild beasts were running all over the mountain.
After all, hunting is not something that can be fought if you want to, and in terms of the tools and human force value at that time, in fact, not every time you go out hunting, you can bring back prey that can be eaten by the whole group.
But it is undeniable that they always have good luck, and when they are lucky, they may be able to hunt wild beasts that they can eat for days, and this meat is wasted like this.
Now that they have discovered that the grazing animals can still be domesticated, the problem has finally been solved.
But one day, after they had a lot of livestock under the treehouse, a pack of wolves attacked their colony.
All the cattle were bitten and dragged away by the wild beasts that night, and man was worse than the wild beasts not by force, but by not being seen at night.
When the Terrans finally waited for dawn on the treehouse, they saw that their own tribe had worked hard for a long time, and all the livestock they had raised for a long time were bitten to death and dragged away, leaving nothing behind.
They were all stunned, saddened that their toils had been washed away by the water, and that they had nothing!
However, the elders of the Shennong clan and the clan were not so confused.
Things have already happened, no matter how sad they are, and what to make up for them, they don't know what the allusion is, but the truth is the same.
If they don't find out the problem and solve it now, then next time, their efforts will still be in vain, this time it was those livestock that were bitten to death, but next time it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be the clansmen.
Therefore, the wise Shennong, who has the Emperor of the Flood Desolation, and the old men who finally lived to the age of twenty, and those elders, sat together to find a way to solve this kind of thing.
So, after learning from many wild beasts that can't climb the tree, everyone unanimously decided to build a high wooden fence around their tree.
In fact, at that time, it was very difficult to cut wood, and in that era there were no knives, no axes, and no bronze weapons.
They had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, so they went directly to dig up small trees and planted them around the village, thinking that when those small trees grew up in a few years, they would be able to grow into a circle of trees to block the invasion of the beasts.
But the little tree is too small to stop the invasion of the wild beasts in the settlement, so can they only eat all the wild beasts they hunt now?
That's it!
They decided not to raise any more livestock until the wall had grown.
But as soon as this decision was made, when a group of wild boars burrowed into the cave where the grain was hidden, and turned over and ate all the grain they had worked so hard to grow for several years, they fell into contemplation again.
Hunt when you run out of food, but you can't stop farming until these tree walls have grown!
One day, a child used urine to water an ant's nest, which happened to be seen by Shennong.
Shennong was inspired by the reaction of the ants at that time.
After being watered, a group of ants thought it was raining, so they desperately moved the earth out of their nests, and circled around the mouth of their nests, and soon there was a circle of dirt at the mouth of the hole.
Is this the fence of ants? At that time, Shennong looked up to the sky and asked, and then he understood that since ants can use soil to build walls, of course that person can also.
So they piled up dirt in the circle of small trees, and after trying and comparing them, they found that the dirt was better when it was wet than when it was dry, and when it was dry, it would be stronger than the dry dirt that was already fluffy.
So, the first wall of the ancient people finally appeared, because the place where they dug was on the edge of that circle of small trees, just dug a ditch.
So when they built a wall that could stop the beasts, the ditch formed by digging outside the wall turned into a river after a heavy rain!
In fact, those ancient walls were not very high, because no one had learned how to build good walls at that time, so they were usually not very high.
It can prevent tigers, lions and wolves, but it can't prevent leopards and orangutans.
(Orangutans ate meat a lot of times in ancient times, including now, in fact, giant pandas used to eat meat, don't spray me!) )
It was good enough to be able to do this, but it was found that where a large ditch had been dug outside the wall and turned into a river, few beasts of prey came in that direction.
After observing them, they decided that water was also a way to stop the beasts, so they dug large ditches outside all the walls and connected them to the river.
This became the earliest moat!
"Oh! It turns out that the city walls and moats came from like this, and it turns out that all this is just a coincidence, otherwise the human race would not have a city wall and a moat! ”
One of the guards in the audience suddenly realized, and with his brain, he could only think of this.
"This guard is right, all these are coincidences, but these coincidences happen to you every day.
The hints given by God and nature are present in this world all the time, but you have not observed, understood, and compared!
Once you look closely, compare and think about it, you will find that there is actually great wealth in this nature. ”
And now these alliances that have come to attack the Shennong clan are facing the wealth that this clan has realized from nature.
It is also one of the wealth that agricultural civilization will rely on for tens of millions of years, that is, the city wall and moat!
These walls and moats were originally designed to protect against fierce beasts, but now it seems that they are also a good choice for guarding against people!
