Chapter 39, Monsoon is the Dragon King

On the second floor of the Moon Tower, with Liu Jin's explanation, people from the south and the north all stood up and said the climate of their hometown.

Liu Jin looked at everyone, and when I said it, I also smiled and rested a little.

"I understand why the rice here in Luzon can be harvested three times a year, because it is located in the equatorial region, and it is summer all year round, and it is warm enough, so it can be harvested three times a year."

"We are in the Ming Dynasty, the more north the area, the lower the temperature, to the Qinling Huai River line, although you can still grow rice, but it can only be harvested once a year, and the Jiangnan region can be harvested twice a year, and then to the north, because the temperature is not enough, you can't plant rice at all, you can only grow wheat."

Lin Shuhong seemed to have figured out something, and couldn't help but say it excitedly.

"Well, that's right."

Liu Jin nodded and said.

"Actually, our agriculture is also closely related to our geographical location."

"Not only is it warmer in the south, but it also has more rainfall, so you can grow rice, and in the north, it's colder and it has less rainfall, so you can only grow wheat."

"You don't find it, the further you go south, the denser the trees on the mountain become, and after you get to the south of Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, the trees will not lose their leaves in winter."

"Trees in the north will lose their leaves, and there are many fewer forests in the north than in the south, and it is all related to precipitation, after the Great Wall, into the Tatar and Warat regions, these areas are not only cold, but also have less precipitation, so the vegetation in these places is dominated by grasslands, and there are not many forests."

"Our precipitation basically comes from the ocean, and the continent where our Ming is located is very large, the closer to the ocean, the more precipitation there is, and the farther away it is, the less precipitation."

"That's why we have our fertile Daming, to the north and west, these places are deserts and grasslands, because there is too little water from the ocean."

Then Liu Jin also continued to talk about precipitation, and divided a long line here in the Ming Dynasty, which is also known as the precipitation dividing line, and also the east-west dividing line.

"So that's the case, no wonder we have scarce precipitation in Shaanxi, this is because we are too far from the sea."

A person from the Northwest nodded and said.

"This division between north and south has something to do with precipitation."

Someone suddenly realized when he heard this.

"In fact, where we are in the Ming Dynasty, the precipitation in the north and south is very regular, and the precipitation in our Ming Dynasty is a typical monsoon monsoon, and the so-called monsoon season is closely related to the monsoon."

"Generally, the beginning of our precipitation in the Ming Dynasty starts from the south, the earliest from Guangdong and Guangxi, and they generally start to rain in March and April."

"Then the monsoon will start to move north, and when it reaches the Yangtze River, it will be in May and June, which is what we call the rainy season."

"Further north, it will keep going north over time, and the farther north it goes, the later the rainy season will come, and the farther south it will be, the sooner the rainy season will come."

Liu Jin continued to take out a brush and draw a few horizontal lines on the map, marking the time respectively, so that people could see it clearly at once.

"That's right, it rained relatively early in my Guangdong region."

The man from Guangdong stood up and said.

"The same is true for the Gangnam area~"

"It's about the same time in the north."

Everyone else nodded.

"If this monsoon moves according to the time point I said every year, then that year our Ming Dynasty will inevitably have good weather in the north and south, and it will be a bumper harvest year."

"However, this monsoon is sometimes very abnormal, for example, sometimes it stays in the south for too long, and in June and July, it is still in the south, and it has not moved north, so that year we will have a disaster year of flooding in the south and drought in the north, if it moves too fast, staying in the south for too short a time, and it will come to the north in May and June, then we will have a famine in the north and drought in the south."

"Our Ming geographical location is special, once there is a problem, it is not a simple place to have a problem, there is a drought in the north, there must be floods in the south, there are floods in the north, there must be droughts in the south."

"It's just that because the south is close to the ocean, so there is more precipitation, and there are more forests in the south, so the impact of drought and flood on the south is smaller, and the north is different, the north is all plains, the vegetation is scarce, once there is a drought or flood, the situation will be very serious, all dynasties, the disaster problem in the north is much more serious than in the south."

Liu Jin looked at everyone and continued to talk.

Whether it is the Golden Continent, Australia, the South Seas, or even the earth, everyone thinks that it is far away, and they always don't believe Liu Jin's words.

Now when it comes to the difference between the north and the south, the difference between the north and the south, and the precipitation of the north and the south, this is closely related to everyone, and what Liu Jin said is very accurate, and everyone believes Liu Jin's words a lot.

"Is that so?"

"After you go back, you must check the information of the past years and verify it."

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to remember something.

"Isn't this monsoon the dragon lord, this dragon lord is in a good mood, our southern Ming Dynasty is in a good mood, if this dragon lord is unhappy, this is not a drought in the south or a flood in the north, or the other way around."

After listening to Liu Jin's words, someone couldn't help but smile and said.

"It's not, it's really similar to the Dragon King."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately laughed, people in this era like to associate everything with ghosts and gods, and when he said monsoon, someone immediately said that he was the dragon king, which really made people cry and laugh.

"No wonder the problems of the past dynasties are the first problems in the north, each dynasty changes, it must be caused by a great drought, this Yellow Turban Uprising is because of the great drought in the world, there is no harvest, and it eventually led to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"The uprising in the last years of the Tang Dynasty was also because of the great drought at that time, coupled with the tyrannical expropriation, which caused turmoil in the world; When I rebelled against Taizu, it also happened to be a drought in the northern region, coupled with the corruption of the Northern Yuan officials, the tyranny of extortion, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes caused the people to be miserable. ”

Huang Jinquan is familiar with history, and when he heard this, he thought of the rise and fall of all dynasties, and immediately widened his eyes, as if he had discovered some law, and said it loudly.
