A small village, a group of poor women and children with no clothes to cover their bodies, and a pot of disgusting monkey broth, the whole village is full of weirdness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was no food, no rice, no fruits, no poultry and livestock, not even the most fish in the South Seas, and Wang Chen and the others found nothing except monkey broth, which no one dared to eat.

It stands to reason that if there is no gain, let's leave quickly, the time is very tight and the task is very heavy, but after Wang Chen saw the little girl who could speak Chinese, he didn't know how to suddenly burst out of compassion, he really wanted to hear the story that the little girl had to tell.

These Chinese soldiers never imagined that the entire Brunei region was already out of food at this moment, and after only half a year of war, the entire northern part of Bailayi had been exhausted.

All the villages were out of food, and the army took the last grain of rice, a bunch of bananas, some dried fish, poultry and livestock from each village, and the indigenous civilians at this moment could only starve to death at home, even the monkey just now, not from the forest, but the pet of the little girl's family.

As Wang Chen listened, he reviewed the Nanyang materials he had learned before, and gradually a large economic framework came to his mind, and he seemed to have comprehended something, a deeper secret beyond the surface of the war.

Borneo is a large island rich in natural resources, such as spices, rubber trees, forests, gold, the sea and an inexhaustible supply of seafood...... There will be oil resources later.

The life of the people here is much better than that of the people of the Qing Dynasty, they will not go hungry at all on weekdays, there are fresh seafood in the river and the sea, bananas, coconuts and various fruits on the trees, and you can fill your stomach with a little food.

Individual tribes will reclaim some farmland, grow rice and eat some rice, but strangely, none of the tribes will grow too much rice, they still put the guarantee of survival on the most primitive collection.

Fishing, hunting and gathering, this is the most primitive way of human survival, although it is easy to watch the sky and eat, but it is difficult to get safety. On weekdays, these tribeamen live an extremely leisurely life, spending only a small amount of time collecting food every day, and the rest of the time is entertainment and even lazy daze.

This is also one of the reasons why Nanyang Chinese do not like to hire natives the most, they are too lazy, because the fishing, hunting and gathering civilization will definitely raise a lot of lazy people, and they will be diligent when they are hungry, and as long as they are not hungry, they will immediately become extremely lazy.

If this way of life is compared with the hard-working Chinese, these natives are undoubtedly happy, and the Chinese, a nation that has come out of the agricultural civilization, must work most of the year, because the agricultural civilization has a very important attribute than the fishing, hunting and gathering civilization, that is, storage.

The life of the indigenous monkeys seems to be very leisurely on weekdays, but when it comes to emergencies, their resistance is also very weak, such as war.

These sultans and Turkish kings of Brunei actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos in this war, and if there was no early military invasion by Tsarist Russia, then they would not have taken the initiative to attack the Chinese reclamation area.

Originally, these earth kings only wanted to solve the war in half a month, they thought that the armed forces of the Chinese had been completely wiped out by Tsarist Russia, and at this moment the wealth of the Chinese was like a coconut falling from a tree, as long as you bent down to pick it up, you could get it at your fingertips.

But I never expected that the Nanyang Chinese had long been twisted into a rope, and the Bai Layi tragedy directly shook the Nanyang Chinese circle, and millions of Chinese began to concentrate resources to support this war.

The dog's mouths of the earth kings hit the big stone at once, except for the first few days to take advantage of a little advantage, almost every battle was lost later, which dragged the war on for half a year.

War is such a thing, in the final analysis, it is still to fight the economic strength of both sides, don't look at the Tuwang side of the people, but to say that the economic background is not as good as the Chinese.

On the other hand, these indigenous monkeys, in addition to the large population, the less money and food, and the more arms are consumed, the life of the natives is not easy.

All the warehouses were eaten, the poultry and livestock raised by the people were looted, and even a bit of jerky on the walls was looted by the army.

At the same time, the war also destroyed the natural environment of the entire region, and the chaotic war directly reduced the local law and order to a negative level, and the people did not dare to leave their villages at all, especially the women disappeared as soon as they went out.

It's not even safe to hide in the village, and God knows when a group of soldiers will come to vent ** and use these indigenous women as a tool for recreation.

Bananas rotted in the trees, fish in the river escaped the smell of blood, and wild beasts in the jungle hid as far away as possible...... This is the end of the hunter-gatherer civilization, a war directly exposed the biggest flaw in their civilization, and their ability to resist disasters is simply too poor.

"I see...... It turns out that even if we don't fight this battle, these indigenous coalition forces will fall apart......, but why can't these Nanyang monkeys enter the farming civilization?

"Sir...... We...... We don't store food, we don't have ships like you......" The little girl woke up from her dream.

Wang Chen's mind was like a lightning bolt, and some of the knowledge he had learned in school before was suddenly connected, and he had an epiphany.

Borneo has been in contact with the Central Plains since the Jin Dynasty, the Sui and Tang dynasties were more frequent boat exchanges, Zheng He reached the peak when he went to the West, such a long period of time, the Central Plains also came a lot of immigrants, it is said that the farming technology has long been passed over, why can't it be popularized, why can't it be officially upgraded to agricultural civilization?

It turns out that the answer is here, the containment of the natural climate!

The Nanyang region belongs to the tropics, the temperature is high and the humidity is mostly typhoon and rain! Such weather is undoubtedly suitable for the growth of rice, and the three seasons of rice a year are all lazy people's work, and there are diligent Chinese farmers who can actually do rice all year round and mature once in three months.

In fact, it is not that the indigenous people do not understand farming techniques, and they have seen and understood it for so many years, but they are not as diligent as the Chinese, because they can't get out of the cabin rice.

An important symbol of agricultural civilization is the barn, and human beings must have the consciousness of storage before agricultural civilization can develop.

And human beings have learned to store, which is to add double insurance to civilization, such as in the event of war, natural disasters, etc., the stored food can save lives and help everyone resist crises.

But how do you store rice here in the South Seas? In humid weather, it doesn't take more than a month for the rice to sprout, and these indigenous monkeys can't solve this problem at all.

But why can the Chinese solve it?
