Chapter 158: Environment

Zhu Biao naturally didn't get angry because of this, and it can also be seen from the conversation that the second and fourth have ideas, but they know that they can't do anything and have no chance to take the initiative to do anything.

Zhu Biao's travel has always been vast, and he doesn't know how many people are protecting him, not to mention that the princes have any manpower available, doing things for the prince is nothing more than asking for a fortune, who would risk the harem of the nine clans to do stupid things.

What's more, when they talked to the third brother just now, they could be betrayed by one of them and pass the news to Zhu Biao, so you can imagine what others would choose if they wanted to find someone to conspire.

Zhu Li is completely in line, and the third child has known his weight since he was a child, he can't compare with the second child in terms of eldest and youngest, and he can't compare with the fourth child in terms of ability, so he can't take his turn, so he naturally has to hug Zhu Biao, the most secure thigh.

The three of them are most worried about the problem of cutting the feudal domain that Zhu Biao originally told them, and what they resist is to be escorted back to the capital to be an idle prince, spend their lives empty, and their descendants will be unknown to the public after a few generations.

However, Zhu Biao didn't plan to explain anything to them, the only people in this world who could make Zhu Biao deliberately explain were his father and queen mother, and his younger brothers were just courtiers, and they all had to endure the thunder and rain.

And compared with going back to Beijing to be a pig, it is obviously better to go to Goryeo Dongying and other places to be the king of Zhu, and they will go happily compared to each other.

Liu Jin outside walked in and reported: "The slave maid personally handed over the letter from Goryeo to the monk, and arranged for the guards of the East Palace to take strict care of it. ”

Zhu Biao nodded and asked Liu Jin to take out a piece of rice paper and began to wave the painting, thanking the geography teacher.

After a while, the work that was full of beauty in Liu Jin's eyes, but did not know what it meant, took shape, Liu Jin first habitually flattered a few words, and Zhu Biao marked the name of the country on the map according to his approximate memory.

Daming is really small now, and Zhu Biao doesn't care, after all, it's just getting started, not to mention that the best place in the Central Plains has begun to restore people's livelihood.

Looking at the somewhat rough world map, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh: "If you are born, you will have it in this life, if you are not born, then you will not have it in this life." ”

The geography of China is really good, especially compared to other countries, it is simply a perfect novice village, China's geography is characterized by high mountains and seas on the outside, but the interior is full of rivers and plains, especially suitable for agricultural production.

To the east is the Pacific Ocean, to the west is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, before the advent of the Industrial Revolution, China's east-west direction was basically an unsurpassable moat.

To the south is a bunch of small Southeast Asian countries, which are basically negligible, and the only external threat comes from the Mongolian plateau, and looking through the history books, China has no threat except for the steppe cavalry.

Such beautiful geographical conditions give us the best environment for the development of productive forces, and if we want to develop, we need fertile land, abundant river water resources, suitable for taming livestock, enough population, and so on to form an agricultural civilization.

The recognition of the collective in agricultural civilization is particularly high, because it is difficult for individual strength to resist internal wars, foreign aggression, natural disasters and other difficulties, and only the collective can unite countless individuals to ensure the safety and continuation of agricultural life.

For example, even before Qin Shi Huang in China, there were three emperors and five emperors, as well as the Yellow Emperor, Yao Shunyu, Zhou Tianzi and other candidates, and there would always be a leader who had the final say.

However, there are still many shortcomings, because there are too many internal wars, so Qin Shi Huang appeared, and only a centralized big government can quickly allocate agricultural resources to develop production, protect national security, and maintain social stability.

The concept of China's great unification is deeply buried, which is the inevitable choice of civilization, even if there is no Qin Shi Huang, it is inevitable that Chinese civilization will move towards unification, but it will be much later, which is also an example of the great man to promote the times.

Zhu Biao never intended to let the Ming Dynasty move towards a democratic parliamentary system, because this was not in line with the national conditions at all, and foreign countries have advocated democratic election and civil rights since the beginning of Greek civilization, etc., but these are not to say that they are more democratic and civilized, but they are forced to be helpless.

Greece is mountainous, and no matter how you look at the map, you can't find large plains, and occasionally there are some places suitable for agriculture, and small places are divided into pieces by mountains.

Therefore, it is difficult for Greece to become a unified centralized country, but because of geographical division, a series of city-states have been created, and everyone plays their own game, but they all have the name of "Greece", so what if they don't engage in democracy?

Each city-state is very small, so there is something to discuss, not to mention that the slaves and women, who make up most of the population, do not have the right to vote, and the so-called free people with property are only a handful, and everyone is about the same, so why find a person who can control their life and death.

The same is true in Europe, where the population is isolated due to the overabundance of mountains, and in an age when they walk on their own feet, they have formed ethnic groups that are hostile to each other.

Therefore, the political system of outsiders is suitable for outsiders, and the system we have formed ourselves is the most suitable for us, and in the vast land of China, only the great unification and centralization of power is the king, at least in ancient times.

Zhu Biao will not allow such a thing as a democratic parliament to be produced until his death, and now is not the time to need it, perhaps after industrialization, telephones, railways, and other things that can allow the people to cross geographical restrictions will be produced, and the people will no longer worry about food, and they will have a certain level of knowledge, and then they will decide the next path of the country.

Zhu Biao closed the map and asked Liu Jin to put it away, it was a lot darker outside, Zhu Biao told Nuan Yu to prepare for a bath, and he now felt that his body was exuding the smell of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

However, horses and livestock are good things, generally speaking, agricultural countries must have big animals, not tigers and elephants, but need to have enough physical strength to work, the character can not be too fierce, otherwise it is not easy to domesticate, but also to breed fast and long-lived, preferably more developed brains.

Don't think these are insignificant, this is also a crucial factor in the development of Chinese civilization, it just so happens that China has cows, horses, and donkeys.

The Chinese use cattle, horses and donkeys to plough the fields, which greatly saves manpower, gives farmers the ability to cultivate more land, produce more grain, and ensure that productivity can be gradually improved.

Cattle, horses, and donkeys can also pull carts, which has developed the transportation industry, goods can circulate freely, commercial trade can continue to prosper, and it is also convenient to use post stations to transmit information.

These are the basic construction of the survival and development of the country, without big animals, the country can only stay in the era of self-sufficiency, and can never develop into a big empire.

Just like in the Americas, where there are too few wild animals that can be tamed, dogs, turkeys, alpacas, guinea pigs. Dogs and turkeys ** food and small size are not suitable for being meat animals and not suitable for camel beasts, guinea pigs eat vegetables and do not compete with people for food, but the leaf size is too small and not suitable for camel beasts.

There are only alpacas, which eat grass and make camel beasts to provide wool, but this animal is too bad at plowing the land, and it has little strength to pull the cart, let alone ride around, and it is a good hand to spit, but it is a little too difficult to let it bear the fate of the country's farming.
