Yang Yinuan stood on a dirt slope at the foot of a thousand mountains, drinking water from a kettle while looking south.

Speeding all the way, he estimated that from the pass of the Thousand Mountain City, through the entire pasture, the distance could be more than a hundred miles.

And the distance between the east and west of this pasture is wider than this, and it can be about 200 miles.

The ranch is really big, and most of the place in the middle is flat, and there are many small streams in the middle, and the river runs through it.

In this way, the geological environment here can be described as unique.

And such land is by no means only suitable for animal husbandry, but also for farming, and it is absolutely fine.

If it is planted well, the output of this land alone will not be a problem to feed a city of hundreds of thousands of people.

It's no wonder that the Gao family regards this place as their forbidden place!

This is a cornucopia, as long as this basin is guarded, it can produce a steady stream of cattle, horses, sheep, and these high value-added livestock.

brought a steady stream of wealth to the Gao family, so it is no wonder that Gao Qiang wants to compete with Gao Peng for the position of the head of the family.

This Gao family has been sitting on this treasure land for hundreds of years, and must have accumulated countless wealth......

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Yinuan was a burst of heart.

But soon, he drove those crooked thoughts out of his mind.

He came to this world to do business, not to be a robber who kills people and extorts goods.

As long as he takes out some primary industrial products, he can already exchange enough good things with this Gao family.

Why bother with those crooked thoughts!

And along the way, in the process of talking with Gao Xin and Gao Quan, he also learned about the recent situation of this ranch.

"At present, there are more than 10,000 horses in this ranch, of which there are more than 7,000 adult horses and more than 3,000 young horses..."

"And more than 3,000 donkeys, more than 5,000 mules......"

"There are more than 5,000 cows, adult cattle, plus those who came back yesterday, there can be 4,000 heads, and calves can have more than 1,000 heads."

"6,000 sheep, 8,000 pigs, and more than 10,000 turkeys......"

Yang Yinuan picked up the binoculars and kept looking for the cattle looming in the grass on the huge grassland.

Now Gao Xin reported the account to him, and heard the number of the herd.

Yang Yinuan was also taken aback, not because there are too many cattle and sheep here, but because there are too few of them, right?

In this huge valley, there are more than 30,000 square kilometers of fine pasture.

According to the experience of animal husbandry on Blue Star, if it is stocked in the wild, the area occupied by each cow is generally 40-45 square meters.

Each acre of land can raise 16 cows, and the more than 30,000 square kilometers of grassland can be converted into 45 million acres of land.

How many cattle you have to raise, tens of thousands of heads can be raised, even if you add up the cattle, horses, sheep and pigs, you can raise them.

But they only have such a small thing?

That's a waste!

Gao Quan's next statement is to give an explanation.

"The main thing is that this stocking is too labor-intensive..."

It turned out that these cattle and horses were raised, and every day they had to send people out to follow.

Because these animals are very wild, if you don't send people to keep an eye on them, if you are not careful, they may walk into a mountain pass and get lost.

Moreover, there are a lot of fierce beasts in the Qianshan Mountain Range behind this, and from time to time there will be fierce beasts rushing to this pasture to kill.

Sometimes a pack of wolves comes in and can bite dozens of cattle in one night.

So don't look at the big pasture, but there are not many of them that can really be used effectively.

Even if the cowboys graze during the day, they don't dare to go too far.

Because if you are not careful, you may face an ambush by a fierce beast.

You must know that these hungry beasts will not only slaughter cattle and sheep, but they are so hungry that they even eat people.

Therefore, their herders will also have losses if they are separated by five mountains.

And no, it's going to be winter soon.

In a few days, it will be Eid al-Adha.

The so-called Eid al-Adha is actually that they will pick out some old, weak, sick and disabled people from the herd and take the lead in slaughtering them. 、

Otherwise, even in winter, the beasts will not survive, and there may be a plague for the population.

And every winter, it is also their biggest headache.

Because almost every year, there are several snowstorms on the pastures, and they have to experience a winter that lasts for five months.

During this time, forage was scarce, the weather was cold, and hungry beasts attacked.

will lead to a sharp decline in the number of beasts in the pasture, and it would be nice to have half of the beasts survive this winter every year!

Hearing Gao Quan say this, Yang Yinuan understood.

It turns out that this ranch is not perfect, no wonder the Gao family guards such a large ranch, but only raises such a small number of livestock!

"Then why don't you drive these beasts through the Handa Grassland to the warmer places in the south to spend the winter?"

Yang Yinuan asked again, and this time the two brothers Gao Quan and Gao Xin glanced at each other, and then smiled bitterly.

"Brother Yang, I'm afraid you don't know that there is another terrifying creature on the grassland this time!"

"It's the strongman!"

Yang Yinuan was stunned when he heard this: "Strongman clan? What is a strongman? ”

"That's a bunch of natural horse thieves, robbers. They are a nomadic group of people in the steppes. ”

"They are scattered on the steppe in the form of tribes, small tribes can have hundreds or thousands of people, and large tribes can have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people."

"Every year in the winter, when there is a shortage of food and grass, or when there is a snowstorm, they will plunder everywhere."

"The Iron City, as well as the Duofang City in the west, and the Sixteen Cities of Yanyun at the southern foot of Yunmeng Mountain, are all plagued by them."

"If at this time, drive the cattle to the south for the winter, it is undoubtedly sending sheep into the tiger's mouth!"

After listening to the explanation of the Gao brothers, Yang Yinuan understood at this time.

No wonder, the Gao family didn't get so many cattle and sheep from the prairie back, no wonder they didn't nomadic herding on the prairie.

FeelingsOn this grassland, it is really the same as the ancient Blue Star, there are a lot of nomads!

"Well, I see!"

"But you don't have to worry about it this year, Brother Gao, you can slaughter it with confidence."

"I've got all the beef, pork, and turkey meat from your ranch, and the more the better!"

Yang Yinuan patted his chest and said to the brothers, and as soon as the brothers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is that true?"

"That's nature!"

I was thinking about going back this time to make my burger restaurant bigger and stronger!

This time, I just came to make a big purchase, and I collected more beef and mutton, which naturally made a good reserve of materials for the family!

"Haha, that's great, we'll go out a few times tomorrow, and we'll at least get back tens of thousands of cattle and sheep before Eid al-Adha......"
