Chapter 36, The Huge Shock

On the second floor of the Moon Tower, Liu Jin is like a geography teacher popularizing global geography knowledge to his students. There are scholars in robes and scarves; There are also pillars of the country on top of the temples; There are also ordinary people who heard the news and came to join in the fun.

These people have always been immersed in the self-satisfaction of the great country, for the world outside the Ming Dynasty, they have heard very little, and they know even less, and they call the places outside the Ming Dynasty a place outside the law, and call the people outside the Ming Dynasty barbarians.

The so-called places outside the law do not refer to places that are not bound by law and have no moral jurisdiction, but refer to places that have not been indoctrinated and do not respect the sages.

Barbarians, barbaric and unreasonable, have not received the teachings of saints, do not know the teachers of heaven and earth, and do not know etiquette, righteousness and shame, they are barbarians.

Daming's bones are all thousands of years of pride, this kind of arrogance gives them strong self-confidence, everything is good at home, and the moon abroad is smaller than the moon at home.

In the same way, this kind of arrogance can easily turn into arrogance and complacency, and gradually blind oneself to the world outside the Ming Dynasty, and likewise to see the strengths and progress of other civilizations and countries, and eventually slowly fall behind the world.

Now, Liu Jin taught a lesson to the people present very systematically, telling the world outside the Ming Dynasty with pictures and texts, and at the same time, from multiple perspectives such as geographical environment, natural conditions, and human environment, for the first time, the world outside the Ming Dynasty was clearly shown to everyone present.

Let these people see the world outside the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and see that the world outside the Ming Dynasty is not only very vast, but also many places are more rich than the Ming Dynasty, and many civilizations and countries are as brilliant and powerful as the Ming Dynasty.

Similarly, through Liu Jin's words, everyone present clearly realized that the world outside the Ming Dynasty was full of endless wealth, the Golden Continent was full of gold, rich and vast land, and three kinds of grain crops that were said to be able to produce dozens of acres per mu.

The abundance of the South Seas, the natural climate that can be harvested three times a year, and the fruits that can never be eaten, can be planted with seeds, and then sit back and wait for a bumper harvest, such a farming method and rich output shocked everyone present.

You must know that since ancient times, we all know that 'hoeing at noon, sweat drops of grass under the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate, the grains are hard', the grain is hard-won, and the farmers need to work hard all year round to serve carefully, but also pray that the wind and rain are good to have a good harvest, and can barely eat a full meal.

But now, Liu Jin is telling you that in Nanyang, not far from our Ming Dynasty, people everywhere are sowing seeds and waiting for a bumper harvest, and three times a year, there are endless fruits and fruits everywhere, and food is nothing to them at all.

This is like a person who works hard and earns only a few thousand yuan a month, and now someone tells you that in other countries, people eat and drink every day, and they can earn tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, this kind of mood can be imagined, and the huge impact will also bring envy, jealousy and hatred, and the same will also make people have a huge impulse.

They are all human beings, why do we have to work hard to do things, but they can live a good life without worry?

The fertile land of India, Ceylon is a gem island, full of precious gems, and the Europeans, this silk and porcelain are worth as much as gold in Europe, and the people here do not like to bathe, and the spices can be used as gold when they are shipped.

The eyes of these merchants present were red, and for businessmen, as long as there was a 10% profit, it would be used everywhere; 20%, it will be lively; 50% of the time, it will cause positive risk-taking; 100%, it will make people ignore all laws; 300% will make people not afraid of sin, not even the danger of sand, and if unrest and strife will bring profit, it will encourage them.

Merchants are profit-seeking, as long as there is enough profit, there is nothing they dare not do, not the long distance, not the storm on the sea, not nine out of ten, if the silk, porcelain, spices can be turned into gold, nothing is a problem, it doesn't matter if there are thousands of mountains and rivers.

There is also Africa, in Liu Jin's description, this is a blessed land from God, but the Kunlun slaves here will not cherish it, they will not even smelt iron tools, they can't even build cities, and the gold, precious stones, ivory, and silver here are not just for anyone to ask for?

It's not just the businessmen present who are red-eyed, but the people who can come to the restaurant to consume, at least they are still worth a little, either landlords or businessmen, or scholars and doctors, the elite class, and so on.

For the landlords and magnates, this fertile and vast land is their favorite thing, and the more land the better, the more fertile the better, and the landlord class and the magnates depend on the land.

The land of this Golden Continent is fertile and vast, and the land of this South Sea is highly productive and can be harvested three times a year, the key is that it is extremely easy to cultivate, if you can do the same with your own land, and then plant high-yield crops from the Golden Continent.

Thinking of this, the breathing of these people present became thicker one by one, and their eyes began to redden, and profit is the root of everything.

"Is there really a place like Nanyang in the world?"

"Rice can be harvested three times a year, and it doesn't need to be managed, and the seeds can be sown, so why do we have to work hard to cultivate it?"

Someone muttered to themselves, hard to believe.

"Dozens of acres of grain crops per mu, if there are such crops, I will never have a famine in the Ming Dynasty, everyone can eat enough, and it can be expected for eternity~"

The middle-aged man's mind has been echoing the three crops of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn that Liu Jin said, and no one knows better than him the importance of high-yield crops to this country.

"A city built of gold, a silver mine of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, an island full of precious stones...... Is the world outside of the Ming Dynasty really so magical? ”

Lin Shuhong, one of the three talents who bet with Liu Jin, likes geography the most, and he also likes to travel the mountains and rivers the most, appreciate the magnificence of the great mountains and rivers, and see the world that he has never seen before.

Now when I hear Liu Jin's words, my eyes show infinite yearning, and I seem to want to go to these places now to see the golden city made of gold, the island of Ceylon, which has hundreds of millions of silver and silver mines, and is full of precious stones, as well as the legendary hometown of Kunlun Nu in Africa, and I want to go to Europe to see how stinky Europeans who don't like to bathe....
