Chapter 932: Encourage Uncle Black to raise cattle?

The harmony between man and nature is actually very fragile. People love those animals only because they do not harm themselves. In modern times, it is actually people in the city who are more keen on protecting animals. Because no animals have been seen in the city. In this regard, the talents in the city are local turtles. Seeing those animals, naturally surprised.

When Marin was a child in his last life, he saw many children in the city who came to play in the countryside. They were surprised around the pigsty. They looked at the ugly domestic pigs like the pandas. Or curiously pushing chickens, ducks, geese ... Of course, the big white geese are not good, and the big white geese who dare to push one of the "three rural tyrants" must be taught by blood ...

All in all, for those animals, people in the city are naturally rarer because they see less. And those who advocate protection of nature and animals are mostly urban people. However, they will never see the abominable side of those animals ...

Such as little sparrow, petite and cute? People in the city may say that they want to protect birds, and sparrow chatter makes the business of nature alive. But to be replaced by a farmer in the countryside, I heard that you want to protect the little sparrow. You must vomit your face to protect you from paralysis. Do n’t you know that the sparrow eats the crop?

There is also a magpie known as an auspicious bird, which is actually a thief, who likes to steal the grain in the field. People in the city like scarcity, but farmers who have stolen grains want to kill them with shotguns.

In fact, these birds are much less harmful to crops. Because they actually prefer to eat pests. Only when the pests have eaten up, they will steal grains such as rice and wheat. Of course, we must control the amount, not too much. Otherwise, the crops must have suffered. However, in China, guns are banned, and the birds are too small, and it is difficult to shoot bows and arrows. It is necessary to use shotguns to easily hit them. Therefore, with the prohibition of guns and the protection of birds, many birds have gradually become more and more dangerous. For example, the legendary flower magpie secretly eats food, even bird eggs and eggs. This is mainly because there are more birds and the food pressure is also greater. The bugs ate up, so they had to steal food ...

Everything has a degree, not excessive. The same is true for birds. If there are too many, they will eat no insects. What will they eat if they do not eat crops? The fields are full of crops, how easy is it to come? No shotguns have hit them yet ...

People in the city do not have the pain of cutting skin when food is eaten. Of course, they brag about protecting birds there, but they do not harm them anyway. But in fact, birds sometimes need to control the amount. Otherwise, more is a hazard.

This is still the case with birds, not to mention huge herbivores? Birds eat one grain of grain at a time, like a chicken pecking at rice. And rhinoceros, elephants and other herbivores have one mouth, which is about eating crops ... An elephant eats 300 kilograms of food every day, which is 600 kilograms. If it runs into the farmland ... it is over, and it has not been harvested this year. ... Even though the Chinese farmers are usually timid and cowardly, but seeing the crops so ruined, they must be desperate to kill the elephants ... because, before the rise of working in the city, for farmers, the food in the field is The life of the whole family!

Therefore, in China, as long as it is a plain agricultural reclamation area, it is impossible to have a large number of herbivores that can harm the farmland, whether it is a rhinoceros or something. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were still many rhinos in the South. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a large number of Han people went to Jiangnan to flee and developed Jiangnan. Then, there were fewer and fewer rhinos in Jiangnan. In the Nanqi era, it was still possible to see the formed rhinoceros army. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no rhinoceros. Then, there are only rhinoceros in the mountain forest of Yungui Plateau ...

...

Marin sent a team to instruct black people in West Africa to hunt rhinos. For rhinos, it was a disaster, but for blacks in West Africa, it was a great boon.

Because, as long as these harmful herbivores are killed, the banks of the big rivers like the Senegal and Gambia rivers will inevitably become a rich place suitable for agricultural development.

In fact, Marin also moved to help local black people develop rice cultivation. For example, sending a few Indian pariah farmers in the past to instruct the old black men on how to grow rice can completely stimulate the development of the local economy and make it an area with developed agriculture. Or, plant sugarcane along the Senegal River.

However, Senegal is a theoretical colony in Portugal. Marin helped the black uncles to develop, and ultimately it was cheaper for the Portuguese. Therefore, he finally dismissed the idea of ​​guiding the black uncles to develop agriculture. Moreover, Senegal is indeed very close to Portugal. It is also easy for Portugal to send tens of thousands of troops. This kind of thing for others to do wedding dress, Marin does not do it.

However, there is an industry on the grasslands of Senegal that is very beneficial to Marin. That is the cattle industry ...

Senegal is a border region of the Mali Empire, and is naturally influenced by the economic culture of the Mali Empire. Therefore, along the Senegal River, there are simple rice and sorghum cultivation, as well as cattle breeding. However, because of backward agricultural technology and the destruction of large herbivores such as rhinoceros and elephants ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Local agriculture has never developed But the cattle industry has little effect. Why? The grassland is so big that there is always a place for cattle to graze. Encountered those Big Macs, it's a big deal to drive the herd away from chanting ...

These cattle, for the local blacks, are only used to eat meat and skin. But for Marin, it is of great significance. Because these are tropical cows!

Tropical cows can perfectly adapt to the tropical climates of Cuba and Grenada, without worrying about the heat of the cattle. Therefore, the introduction of tropical cattle from the grasslands of Senegal is more reliable than the introduction of cold temperate cattle from the Crimean Khanate.

Therefore, while instructing the black people in Senegal to hunt rhinos and elephants, Marin will also send several disciples of Mozhgen and Battle to teach local black veterinarians, mainly the prevention and treatment of cattle diseases. Then, it will also instruct local black people to raise cattle reasonably, and stimulate local people to develop cattle breeding to the greatest extent. Their cattle are raised much, and more can be sold to Marin by then. Therefore, this is a good thing for a win-win situation.

At the same time, Marin also intends to provide them with some horses for grazing, as well as bows, arrows and muskets to shoot lions and jackals. In this way, they can also ride horses to graze like Tatars on the grassland, instead of running barefoot like the current, like Bolt, to chase the sloping cattle ...

Running barefoot to chase the lost cows, of course, can train black people who fly like Bolt in the afterlife, but not everyone has Bolt's talent. Moreover, this is very inefficient. The Tatars drove the herds on horseback and shot the jackals with bows. They were far more advanced than the black natives of this era.

However, Marin did not know that his actions had cultivated a black uncle nomad who was good at riding and shooting on the grasslands of Senegal. His fighting power was powerful and he almost rewrote the history of West Africa ...
