Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1853, the resources are so good
"Driving~"

On the Great Plains, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin rode their horses fast, with more than 100 people closely following behind them. The ground was shaking slightly, and it looked like the grassland cavalry was sweeping the world.

"yu~"

Coming to a small hillside, Emperor Hongzhi stopped slowly and looked down at the vast grassland in front of him.

On this vast and open land, a group of tens of thousands of bison are grazing freely on the grass. These big bison of the Golden Continent are huge and can be said to be one of the largest cattle in the world. The weight can reach 2000 catties, and each of them is a walking tank.

Tens of thousands of bison cover a large area, all the bulls are in the outer area, and the middle area is the cow and calf.

The huge herd of bison completely ignores any existence. Even the wolves here can't deal with these bison. They are the real overlords here. They have lasted for thousands of years, and those who were slaughtered until later are almost extinct.

"It's amazing!"

"I used to never believe that there would be tens of thousands of bison herds. Seeing them today is an eye-opener."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the huge herd of bison in front of him, smiling all over his face.

Since ancient times, cattle have held a very high status in the hearts of Chinese descendants.

Almost all dynasties have legislated to protect farm cattle. Farm cattle cannot be killed unless they die of illness or old age. Farm cattle are absolutely not capable of accidents. Farm cattle are like people. The government has a special yellow side for registration and recording. Every cattle within the range will be inspected regularly and re-registered.

It is simply impossible for people who love beef to travel to ancient times and want to eat beef every meal.

Cows were the most important labor force in ancient times. The government valued them, and the common people loved them even more, because cows can help plow the land, and they can also give birth to calves to sell for money. Having a cow is the lifelong dream of countless farmers.

This shows the status and importance of cattle.

Even the emperor Hongzhi, he can eat whatever he wants, except that he can't eat beef, and if he eats it once in a while, he was often criticized by the ministers in the past.

Without it, what is good at the top is better than the bottom.

If the emperor's reputation for eating beef spreads, how many cattle will die down there.

Of course, the situation in Daming is different now. Although cattle still have a very high status in everyone's hearts, because Daming has obtained a large amount of grassland, the number of cattle and sheep has greatly increased.

In addition, many places now use machinery to cultivate land on a large scale, and the reliance on cattle is becoming less and less. Eating beef has become a relatively common thing.

For example, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, hundreds of cattle are slaughtered every day to satisfy the restaurants, restaurants, etc. in the Beijing-Tianjin area. These cattle are all transported from the northern grasslands, Hezhong, and Central Asia provinces.

These three places are the places where Daming currently produces the most cattle and sheep. The output is large, the price is cheap, the quality is good, and the transportation is convenient. Under the railway transportation, the cattle and sheep can be continuously transported to the mainland of Daming for sale.

"Your Majesty, I heard people say that there is an annual animal migration on the savannah in the interior of Africa. Every year, millions of animals migrate together. African bison, African zebras, antelopes, etc. It is estimated that the scene It must be very spectacular."

Liu Jin smiled and mentioned to Emperor Hongzhi the great migration of animals on the African grasslands.

The tens of thousands of bison in front of me are already very spectacular. It is hard to imagine that if millions of bison and wild horses gallop together, the scene will be even more spectacular.

"Millions of heads!"

"That scene is probably very spectacular."

"The world is full of wonders."

Emperor Hongzhi also shook his head in admiration.

The cattle, which are extremely precious to the people of Ming Dynasty, are still wild in this Golden Continent and Africa, let alone the wild ones, the key is that the scale is still so huge.

It's incredible to think about it.

If the people of Daming knew that there was a huge herd of bison here, they would have come here like crazy to get bison. After all, the status of cattle in the hearts of the people of Daming is too high.

Ordinary people dream of owning a cow.

The natives of Golden Continent and Africa don't know what's going on in their heads. It's a reckless waste if they don't tame the wild cattle and wild horses and don't cultivate the good and fertile land.

"Your Majesty, let's go hunting."

Liu Jin nodded, and immediately picked up a rifle, ready to hunt a bison to taste the bison.

Looking at this size, it is estimated that the meat must be very old and old, and I also want to hunt a medium-sized half-sized bison to try something new.

"Forget it."

"Hunting is just for fun for a while, but it hurts lives, just look at it."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and shook his head.

He doesn't like hunting, because he always feels that hunting is killing for no reason, and hunting when he is full and has nothing to do is killing.

If it is to survive, eat and hunt, then there is nothing wrong with it, there is nothing to say.

"Your Majesty is merciful, I am truly ashamed."

When Liu Jin heard this, he felt ashamed of Emperor Hongzhi's benevolence, and handed over the rifle to the guards accompanying the army. Thinking about it, there was no need to kill more for one's own whim.

Many Europeans and Americans in later generations have so-called hunting hobbies and traditions. Some even go to the African grasslands to hunt and kill lion kings, and even take pictures to show off, which is really infuriating.

"Haha, if you like to play, go and play by yourself, don't bother me."

Seeing that Liu Jin had stopped hunting, Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile.

"Forget it, these bison are also spirits of the earth, a gift from the creator, we should cherish and love them, and not kill them at will."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

"That's right, they are all spirits of the earth, and they should be taken good care of."

Emperor Hongzhi also nodded slightly.

Liu Jin looked at Emperor Hongzhi, then at the vast field in front of him, and at the huge herd of bison in the field.

At this moment, Liu Jin completely believed what was recorded in the history books. Emperor Hongzhi was a good man with a kind heart and a generous heart. This was the evaluation of him in the history books.

Now it seems that this should be true, there is no exaggeration, he is indeed such a person.

To serve such an emperor with his life, a courtier would naturally feel much more at ease. At least, he would not have to worry about losing his life for no reason.

"There are still a lot of deer."

Emperor Hongzhi looked around with a telescope, and soon found a lot of deer.

"Yes, this should be a local deer species in Huangjinzhou, and it's really big enough."

"Your Majesty, there are bears beside the forest over there, the big brown bear."

Liu Jin also looked through the binoculars, and quickly pointed to the side of a forest, where he saw several big brown bears looking for food freely.

The size of this big brown bear is also very large, and it is one of the largest bears.

"Really, this bear is really big."

"Your Majesty, this is one of the biggest bears in the world, and only the polar bear in the Arctic Circle can compare with it."

"I've also heard about polar bears, and someone gave me a polar bear skin. It's all white, without any variegation."

While searching for all kinds of wild animals, the two chatted non-stop.

There are too many resources here, and the resources are so good.

If you want to hunt, you can really have fun. There are bison, deer, bears, wild sheep, etc., which can be seen everywhere. There are a large number of them, and the population is huge. Occasionally, you can hear a wolf howling. Obviously, there are wolves. .

If these were placed in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that they could only be seen in the deep mountains and old forests, and there were no wild animals in the plains for a long time.

"This is really a treasure land!"

Liu Jin sighed as he watched.

Think about later generations, with more people and less land, scarce resources, all kinds of animal and plant resources have long been exhausted, and there are many kinds of things that have become extinct, such as the South China tiger and Xinjiang tiger have all been extinct, and the Siberian tiger The number is also pitifully small.

If the giant panda is not protected by legislation, I am afraid that it will not escape extinction.

There are even more extinct animals in the big rivers, such as finless porpoises, Chinese sturgeons, alligators, etc., are almost extinct.

Mainly speaking, there are more people, less land, and less resources. If people want to survive, everything will become extinct, and they will continue to cut down forests, destroy wetlands, and so on.

Looking at the Great Plains in front of us, maybe in the future, we still have to find a way to legislate to protect these wild animals, so as not to wipe out these natural elves after the population of Ming Dynasty increases.

PS: Thank you for your blessings, my baby is much better now, in this day and age, the body is the first thing, the hospital is a gold mine, it takes money and trouble.
