In addition to being restricted by the terrain, the biggest reason is that the agricultural technology is not developed enough, and the common people use the most primitive tools for farming, and the land that a single person can cultivate is very limited, and it is not as much food as hunting and fishing, so most of the people are not willing to engage in agricultural production, but prefer to hunt and go to sea to fish, and even directly become pirates and rob other people's property.

Whether it is hunting, fishing at sea, or even pirates, it is not very creative labor, and the intellectual development of people is not high, while agriculture is the most complex labor, and the labor tools involved are also the largest, and it is necessary to build water conservancy, fight against natural disasters, and so on.

Therefore, the intellectual development of the people engaged in agriculture is much faster than that of the fishing, hunting and nomadic peoples, and they are also more able to create a more splendid civilization.

The Tang Empire is a country with a long history of agricultural civilization, so the IQ and ability of the Tang people far exceed that of other countries, and they should have become the most powerful country.

The development of agriculture is inseparable from excellent tools, so that people can find ways to develop new tools, this process is the process of research and development, which can be regarded as a handicraft industry, and if you continue to develop more advanced agricultural machinery, it is an industrial category.

Therefore, when agriculture continues to develop without interference, it is entirely possible to develop industry, and with the advancement of agricultural tools and the increase of population, the proportion of agricultural population is bound to decline, so as to provide sufficient human resources for handicrafts and commerce, and the owners of handicrafts are bound to have the motivation to develop machinery in order to speed up production, thus unwittingly triggering industrialization that can change human history.

In the history of the Chinese nation, there have been many glorious times, the development of handicrafts is extremely advanced, if it continues to develop, it is entirely possible to develop industrialization.

However, the corruption and strife of the imperial court put the country in a weak situation, which led to large-scale invasion of foreign races, and the research and development of advanced handicrafts was forced to be suspended, or even completely lost, causing great losses to the Chinese nation, otherwise, China might have had an industrialization movement hundreds of years ahead of the West.

It is said that the textile machinery of the Song Dynasty has been very advanced, a machine has more than 2,000 parts, the production efficiency has been greatly improved, if it continues to develop, it is very likely to improve more advanced machinery, and even occur like the situation of Western industrialization.

But the barbarian invasion completely changed all this, and after the war disaster, all the advanced agricultural and handicraft equipment was destroyed, not only the research and development was interrupted, but even the original technology was lost with the killing of technical personnel.

After the barbarians were expelled, the new Chinese Empire was established, and in the later period, great importance was attached to the development and use of firearms.

Unfortunately, the firearms of this era were still in their infancy, and their power and reliability were not much stronger than cold weapons, so even if they were equipped with advanced firearms, the soldiers and horses of the Great Chinese Empire failed to defeat the domestic rebellion and foreign invasion, which eventually led to the complete destruction of the empire.

The barbarian people who enslaved the Chinese Empire, in the process of conquering China, found that the performance of firearms was not very good, so after the founding of the country, they did not pay any attention to the research and development of firearms, and still stubbornly used cold weapons, so that the gap between the empire and the West began to continue to widen, so that it caused a century of shame.

Therefore, the damage of the war is extremely huge, every critical moment of the rise of the Chinese Empire, because of the invasion of foreign enemies and into the interruption, resulting in the Chinese Empire has not developed industrialization, if it is not for the frequent change of dynasty, frequent wars, with the Chinese people's long-term labor IQ, it is completely possible to develop advanced industrial products, so as to stand on the top of the world one step earlier.

Sri Buddha is a typical backward country, agriculture is a mess, handicrafts are completely at a very low level, all kinds of tools are very primitive, the construction of ships does not exceed 1,000 tons, large fishing boats are generally about 100 tons, small ones are only 30 or 50 tons, and the risk of fishing at sea is extremely high.

The prevalence of fishing and hunting made Sri Buddha extremely rich in fish and game, and not only the common people regarded it as a staple food, but even the royal family used fish and game as the main food to show their support for fishing and hunting.

Historically, developed civilizations are in the temperate zone, the cold zone is not suitable for human survival, basically there are no human beings, and the tropics have always had indigenous humans, but because of the climate of the tropical rainforest, food resources are too abundant, so there is no need to spend too much energy to develop agriculture that requires the use of intelligence, just catch some fish, hunt some prey, and pick some wild fruits is enough to fill the stomach.

The temperate climate leads to less abundant food, and the change of the seasons makes human beings more in need of more confrontation with nature, so as to develop their own intelligence in the process.

Therefore, the same human beings, all living in the tropics have become monkey-like animals, basically always in the primitive stage, while human beings living in the temperate zone have developed a splendid civilization, successively from the primitive society to the slave society, and then the feudal society, and then the capitalist society.

In terms of tools, it has also entered the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Firearms Age, and finally the Great Age of Industrialization from the Stone Age.

Therefore, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, human beings living in the tropics seem to have sufficient living materials and do not have to worry about food and drink, but because of this, they have lost the opportunity to exercise their IQ, so they have been in a primitive state of life, and there is not much difference from the animals around them.

Of course, this is a situation that only occurs when tribes are in a closed state, and if the tribes in the tropics form a country and have a connection with the advanced Tang Empire, they will definitely not be in a primitive society.

Sri Buddha has long been in contact with the Tang Dynasty, and there are also contacts with the surrounding small countries, so this country is quite normal, although it is extremely backward, but at least it is already a kingdom, not a primitive tribe.

However, in the vicinity of Sumatra and Java, where Sri Buddha died, there were primitive tribes, not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the later Quantum Age.

These primitive tribes lived in the depths of the island, and because of the long-term lack of communication with the outside world, they slowly became primitive people, and had no communication with the kingdom not far away, and were even hostile.

Ang Lee has been in Datang for so many years, and he has never seen a wild man, and this time he came to Sri Buddha to pass away, but he had this golden opportunity.

Looking at the table full of fish and meat, as well as special fruits, Ang Lee suddenly felt that he was too cold, eighty percent of the dishes on the table were from Sri Buddha, and only two percent were from Datang dishes.

"Your Royal Highness, your breakfast is really rich enough, there are so many of them, you can't eat them all."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"No, we must finish eating, let's eat first, and give the rest to the servants, there are more than a hundred of them, maybe it's enough?"

King Sri Buddha said.

In ancient times, the subordinates did not have the opportunity to eat clean meals, and they could only eat the leftovers of the nobles to show the high status of the nobles.

Li An picked up a piece of fish balls, chewed it for a while, and praised: "It's a good thing to leave a mouth full of fragrance!" What kind of fish meatballs are made? ”

"These are the best meatballs made from sharks, with the finest condiments, carefully crafted."

Sri Buddha died and replied with a smile.

Li An nodded and said: "It turned out to be a shark, no wonder it's so delicious, what is this, well, delicious." ”

"Li Shilang, this is a whale's tongue, do you know how big a whale's tongue is?"

King Sri Buddha asked triumphantly.

Li An naturally knew that whales were very large animals, so he smiled and said softly: "If you encounter the largest whale, I am afraid that it will take twenty or thirty people to lift a tongue!" ”

When King Sri Buddha heard this, he was immediately frightened, he didn't expect Li An's answer to be so accurate, and he nodded hurriedly and said: "Li Shilang answered too right, the whale you eat is very big, and its tongue alone makes thirty strong men tired and sweaty. ”

In Ang Lee's cognition, the world's largest whale weighs 160 tons, and its tongue can have a maximum of two tons, that is, 2,000 kilograms, if 20 people are allowed to share it, each person will bear 100 kilograms, and if 30 people are responsible for carrying it, then there are also 66 kilograms per capita, that is, more than 130 kilograms.

For a strong man, this weight is completely bearable, and when it is not very easy, it is inevitable to be tired and sweaty.

"The size of the whale is very large, and I often appear along the coast of Datang, so this official is naturally very clear about the whale, if you want to lift the entire whale, I am afraid that it will take two or three thousand people, and it is very difficult, and the fishing boats in your country are relatively small, how can you catch such a big behemoth?"

Ang Lee asked very curiously.

In Ang Lee's mind, the huge whale is a very dangerous animal, and once it is angry, it can overturn a small fishing boat, resulting in the tragedy of boat destruction and death.

And the fishing boat that Sri Buddha died, in Ang Lee's eyes, is a small boat, at least, most of the fishing boats are smaller in tonnage than whales, where can this withstand the deadly attack of whales.

When King Sri Buddha heard this, his face suddenly overflowed with a look of pride, and he said: "To catch this huge whale, it takes more than a dozen small fishing boats to cooperate, each boat needs a dozen people, and a total of more than a hundred people need to act together to catch the whales, and it must be fishermen with experience in whaling, ordinary fishermen are not capable of catching whales in any case, and even their lives are difficult to preserve." ”

When Li An heard this, he nodded insightfully and said, "I see, but these fishermen who can hunt whales are heroes!" ”

Being praised by Ang Lee, King Sri Buddha was very proud, and in front of the powerful Tang Empire, he finally found a little face.

"The whales are too large to be transported, and after being dragged to the shore with ropes, they are slaughtered, and the best parts of the body are sent to the palace, and the rest is distributed by the fishermen themselves, so that such a whale is enough to feed a village for a long time."

Sri Buddha passed away and said happily.

After tasting the whale's tongue, Ang Lee continued to taste other breakfasts, and a piece of fresh meat caught Ang Lee's attention.

"What kind of meat is this, it tastes very good, let me guess, it's tiger meat."

Li Ang had eaten tiger meat, and he had a little impression in his mind, and he tasted the taste of tiger meat from the meat in front of him.

"That's right, this is tiger meat, it's our Sri Buddha deceased tiger meat, the tiger here is smaller than Datang's, but the taste is not as bad as Datang's tiger meat, Li Shilang eats more."

Very kind invitation from the king.

After eating a few bites, Ang Lee asked, "Your Royal Highness, did Sri Buddha pass away with a lot of tigers?" Will it be eaten up? ”

"No, absolutely not, there are a lot of tigers here, and they often appear next to the villages, and many people have died in the tiger's mouth, and they hate the tiger to the core, wishing that the tiger would be extinct? By the way, a hundred years ago, there were already more than a dozen tiger fighting teams, but after so much time, the tigers have not been defeated, and the number of people who died in the mouths of tigers has never decreased, and many hunters have been bitten to death. ”

King Sri Buddha said earnestly.

Li An understands this situation very well, after all, the current ecological environment is still relatively good, and the hunters who died in Sri Buddha can only use backward cold weapons, and when facing large beasts, there is no too high chance of winning, so the tigers can still survive, if these hunters are equipped with advanced snipers in later generations, it is estimated that the tigers here will be eaten out.

"Tigers eat people, people eat tigers, that's quite interesting! Ha ha! ”

Li An smiled and said softly: "Hunting is a very interesting thing, if you can hunt a tiger with your own hands, it will be worth the trip." ”

"What's so difficult about this, there are tigers in the mountains where our Sri Buddha died, if Li Shilang is interested, he can hunt them at any time, and Xiao Wang has not moved his muscles and bones for a long time, so he can accompany him."

Sri Buddha passed away and said happily.

Li An nodded and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired today, so let's do it tomorrow!" Early tomorrow morning, we will go hunting tigers in the nearby mountains, hahaha! ”

After speaking, he also introduced the breakfast products of Datang, and asked King Sri Buddha to taste them one by one.

Although the breakfast of Datang does not have the meat of Sri Buddha's death, the taste is also unique, and people who are used to eating meat and fishy occasionally eat some vegetarian food, which is also excellent for the body.

King Sri Buddha spoke highly of Datang's breakfast, saying that Datang's breakfast was very tasty and much better than their fish.

After breakfast, in fact, it was already lunch, everyone needed to rest, Li Ang took a group of people to the most noble room in the palace, the king was tired all morning, and he also had to rest, and in the evening, there must be a dinner.
