Chapter 1221 The Significance of the Great Geographical Discovery
"According to Mr.'s doctrine, I stayed for a year, and found that their totem stone carvings have some similarities with those of the pre-Qin period, and even their sacrifices are quite similar to those recorded. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update" Bo Zhang said with a little excitement, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light.
"Tell me about it." Wang Xiu was quite interested, compared to the filthiness of those scholars, he was more interested in the great discovery of nautical geography, which was a godsend! If you can take the lead, you can imagine the impact on future generations.
Bo Zhang did not shirk, he used the most concise and simple words to describe the journey from the Three Buddhas to the sea, and described it in 1510.
Everyone was almost attracted, to say that Wang Xiu also said that Bo Zhang explained it from another angle, which is an immersive statement, which makes people feel different.
Li Changsheng's eyes flickered, and he said to himself: "I thought that I was crisscrossing overseas, the sea and the sky were wide, but I didn't want the world to be so big, but I became a frog at the bottom of the well!" ”
"Hehe, third brother, you are so emotional, but you don't know between life and death of the sixth brother, I don't know how many times you have come and gone from the ghost gate, if you go, you will know that the turmoil in the South China Sea is not worth mentioning compared to the ocean." Wang Xiu said with a smile.
"But I'm shallow, sir, since the world is so big, there are so many borderless lands, then I have to conquer them." Li Changsheng's eyes flickered, he was different from Zhang Guo, Zhang Guo was a master of tactics, and his use of troops was strange and brutal, but he focused on strategy, had a deep understanding of Wang Xiu's strategy, knew Wang Xiu's immigration policy, and Bo Zhang's voyage did not taste like an expedition.
Wang Xiu glanced at Li Changsheng with great admiration, but did not agree, and said calmly: "The Dongshan mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the place where the heirs of the Yin people live, and it can be regarded as owned by China!" They should be allowed to see their homeland. ”
The corners of Liu Renfeng's mouth twitched, what he said was too unreasonable, it was clearly naked possession, and he had to say it so nicely.
He is also deeply influenced by Wang Xiu's theory, but he has his own unique theory, which is more inclined to the theory of science and science, because he wants to make the land of China a vast country, why keep occupying the barbarian land, what he has done in the South China Sea is a bit excessive, and he still thinks about the barren land thousands of miles away.
What if it is the heir of the Yin people? Confucianism is orthodox to Zhou.
"The vast sea is more dangerous than the inner lakes of the South China Sea, we are running Nanzhou, and we can't do anything about that land for the time being, but we also have to pay attention to one or two."
Li Changsheng slowly bowed his head, and Wang Xiu made a conclusion that it was time to extend the overseas strategy of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it could not be taken into account for the time being, it was necessary to make a long-term deduction.
"Sir, the South China Sea is unpredictable, look at the map of the ocean thousands of miles of waves, I'm afraid it 。。。。。" Liu Renfeng disagreed very much, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly because of Bo Zhang's hard work.
"To the west, if we want to break the powers of the West Sea, we must first manage the South China Sea, which can only be completed in hundreds of years. To the east, it is the real Fusang Tang Valley in ancient times, no matter how you want to take it, it is no less rich than China, and no Chinese Miao descendants must be allowed to live in other places. ”
Bo Zhang nodded seriously, and said, "What Mr. said is that the climate there is warm and the four seasons are distinct, and I have brought a lot of seeds. ”
"Oh." Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, how could he forget this stubble, seeds, corn, potatoes, sweet potato seeds, this is definitely epoch-making.
If large-scale cultivation can be carried out, the population pressure can be solved, and the poor conditions in the region can be improved, and even if the farmers have only three acres of land, they can harvest a large amount of food, instead of just making ends meet.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the conditions were harsh, although it did not have the vast territory of the Han and Tang dynasties, it was a blessing in disguise, and it had an advantage that the great unified dynasty did not have.
It got rid of the northwest and north, which had been seriously damaged by strategic and excessive reclamation, and occupied the rich Central Plains and Jiangnan, which allowed the entire dynasty to avoid being dragged down by the harsh areas, and the wealth of the rich areas was able to stay in the interior to circulate, rather than to relieve the poor areas, and the small land also made people look at the ocean and broaden the horizons of the Chinese people.
Now, the imperial court has recovered the difficulties and taken the entire Hexi, the Northern Expedition is imperative, and the expansion of the north and west is also included in the imperial court's major policy, which has the pressure of reality, and the burden of bad areas and populations is placed in the temple calculation.
Although he increased the protection of the damaged areas of water and soil, and even did not hesitate to slow down the development of Ma Zheng, but also to protect and restore the vegetation in the northwest as much as possible, it was not a project that could be achieved overnight, and these recovered homelands would sooner or later become the source of turmoil, which was not determined by the clarity and mediocrity of the rulers, but by the natural climatic conditions.
There is also the agricultural mulberry on the barren land, which cannot be solved by a large number of immigrants, which is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In order to solve the problem of barren land in Northwest China, we can only consider ecological restoration, and vegetation conservation and land rest are very important.
The contradiction comes, people always eat, and the place must also develop, and the rich military state is financially tilted, or the value of the residual land is wantonly exploited, which is tantamount to fishing for the best of the water. Not only did the northwest be completely destroyed, but also caused the people's antipathy to the recovery of the homeland and lost land, and now there are some signs, everyone says that the recovery of Yanshan, the actual action, how many will be sincere? It's hard to say.
It can be said that the return of Bo Zhang, with the great geographical discoveries brought by the Great Voyage, allowed the Chinese people to expand their living space, then these precious seeds are the means to alleviate the restoration of the environment, and even affect people's eating habits, the Great Song Dynasty no longer has the pressure of expansion, at least to ensure that people in remote areas are fed.
However, it still takes a long time for a crop to be introduced and developed, and he intends to let the government promote it, rather than the private sector slowly. There was a painful lesson in another time and space, the sweet potatoes introduced in the Ming Dynasty did not enjoy the dividends, and were finally enjoyed by the Manchurians.
"Yin people grow corn, the harvest season is festive, this kind of food has a high stem and big fruit, rice grains are edible, the inner pulp is crushed and fed to pigs, the straw can be burned on the fire, and the whole body is full of treasures, well, the roasted corn has the best flavor." Bo Zhang said with a smile.
Wang Xiu recognized Bo Zhang's words, corn is indeed a high-yield crop, and sweet potatoes are even better things, he wants to play a roasted sweet potato and fried corn, these are two kinds of delicacies! I couldn't help but laugh and said, "How many seeds did you bring?" ”
"There are quite a few, in addition to being eaten at sea, there are still a lot left, which can be cultivated as seeds." Bo Zhang is proud to be authentic.
"Well, let's let Xie Zhai take a look tomorrow, and by the way, let the people of Sinong Temple and Dushui Jian gather the old farmers to choose the right climate land for trial planting, and Taifu will definitely supervise it." Wang Xiu showed great interest, even impatience, and understood that the great opportunity contained in it made even more sense than controlling the gold and silver mines.
