Continental Australia... Many people say that ancient Chinese navigation technology is so strong, why has it not been discovered.

In fact, according to a local report, a well-preserved mahogany shipwreck was found on the southeast coast of Australia, and according to carbon-14 analysis, it was about 600 years ago, when only the Ming Dynasty in the world had the strength to build a mahogany ship.

But why there are no records of Chinese on the Australian continent, first of all, is that the Australian continent is not a good place, one is that Australia was actually a fairly unsuitable land for survival before the colonists entered, especially the area facing China in the north, that is, today's Darwin and Cape York. It's mostly desert and savannah, and it's home to many ferocious beasts that China itself has never heard of.

Even today, in northern Australia, only the city of Darwin has a sporadic population distribution, and most of Australia's population is on the east side of the Great Dividing Range on the eastern coast, Melbourne and Perth.

Before the arrival of the colonists, there were crocodiles, poisonous frogs, etc. that liked to attack humans in the swamps along the coast of northern Australia, and even the indigenous people of the Indonesian archipelago near Australia rarely reached northern Australia and settled for a long time in history. The indigenous people, mainly on both sides of the Torres Strait, have ancestors who are more likely to come from Oceania than from native Asia.

There is a more important reason that the Australian mainland is isolated overseas, and the Chinese always have the idea that their homeland is difficult to leave, and going to sail in time is also along the coastline, and occasionally there is a possibility that they cannot return because of storms or other factors that are far from the coastline, so it is more determined that the navigators at that time did not go to the far sea.

Besides, the ancient Chinese did not look at any land outside China, or the Central Plains, even if someone discovered the Australian continent, they would not regard this kind of geographical discovery as a big thing, what that person thought in his heart was probably that there was such a place overseas, people did beast language, and it was really an uncivilized barbarian.

Moreover, the ruling class in ancient China did not support the voyagers to explore overseas, and the person who may have discovered the Australian continent did not have the opportunity to report the discovery of such an enclave, and even if it did, it would not attract attention.

Only Li Zhan will be interested in the Australian mainland, and only Li Zhan can make Li Shimin interested in the Australian mainland.

And just now Li Zhan said so well about the Australian mainland, in fact, it is to make Li Shimin interested in the Australian mainland, Li Zhan is for Li Cheng and for himself, because the development of the shipbuilding industry is the best way to connect with the world, at this time, if the development of the shipbuilding industry and navigation is vigorous, maybe there will be a different result.

Li Zhan is just trying to make a little effort in the future.

Li Cheng on the side also knew that it was difficult to go to the Australian mainland, and what he said just now was also to attract Li Shimin, if the Australian mainland was really so easy to go, what business would he do, just drive the boat directly to get gold and silver.

Li Cheng and Li Zhan drew a big cake for Li Shimin, but it is difficult to eat this big cake, at least Li Shimin can't do it now, but it is okay to give a little dividend to Li Shimin to believe that it is okay, just get some gold and silver.

So Li Cheng looked at Li Zhan and said, "I also know that there is a place rich in gold and silver. ”

Li Zhan was about to leave, but after hearing Li Cheng's words, Li Zhan turned around and smiled: "Lord Yue, you really know enough places, and you actually know that there are places rich in gold and silver, can you tell your son-in-law where it is?" ”

"Wajima...!" Li Cheng said without hesitation.

"Wajima...!" Li Zhan laughed, Wadao was a world-class gold and silver producer in history.

Before the development of the Americas, Wajima contributed about 5% of the world's gold to the world, and at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, one-third of the world's annual silver production was produced in Wajima, from which silver was imported (smuggled) during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Due to the long history of gold and silver mining in Wajima, most of the discovered gold and silver deposits have been exploited and depleted (some mines have been mined continuously for hundreds of years), so the current gold and silver production in Wajima is not high. However, due to the natural factors of Wajima, extensive exploration is likely to uncover new gold and silver deposits if needed.

However, at this time, Li Zhan said: "Lord Yue, don't forget, there is a country on Wadao, if you go there to get gold and silver, it is smuggling, people have an army, if they don't want to give it to you, they will kill you directly... Have you thought about these questions? ”

"These questions...!" Suddenly, Li Cheng smiled at Li Zhan and said, "It doesn't have much to do with you." ”

"Clams...!" Li Zhan was speechless, and scolded the stupid old man in his heart.

...........................

The next day... Li He's conviction came out, Li He didn't just sell weapons and armor to the Western Turks, this old man was very powerful, he actually bought weapons and armor for the Eastern Turks in the early years.

The most interesting thing is that this Li He has business dealings with the Lotus Society, so he can be said to be an arms merchant.

All the crimes he convicted were the largest and fastest executions, and the red charge painted by Li Shimin on the same day was beheaded on the same day.

As for Li Kong, he also has many crimes, but Li Kong sentenced him to beheading the prison waiter, and the beheading of the prison wait is to be beheaded in the autumn of the tenth year of Zhenguan.

Many people must want to know, why did the ancient people ask for beheading after the autumn, hehe... The emergence of this phenomenon is related to the values of the ancients.

The ancients believed that disasters, plagues, auspicious fortunes, and good years on the earth were all given by God, so all people's actions must be in accordance with the will of heaven. Spring and summer are the seasons for all things to grow and grow, and autumn and winter are the seasons for slaughtering and hiding, so the execution in autumn and winter is in accordance with the will of heaven.

There are some other clansmen of the Longyou family, these people are honest, there is no clean foundation, after arriving at Dali Temple, they were casually coaxed and scared by Sun Fujia a few times, and these people will explain everything they can explain.

One of them was sentenced, with the highest being five years and the lowest being one year.

There are also some relatively minor fines, that is, fines, the highest is 50,000 guan, and the lowest is 3,000 guan.

So far... The Li family in Longyou was finally reshuffled, and Li Cheng officially became the head of the Li family in Longyou, and Li Shimin added a county uncle to Li Cheng because Li Cheng said that he would help him get gold and silver.

Li Cheng has such a county uncle... Li Cheng is even more justifiable.

And Li Cheng also did something that Li Shimin liked, then Li Cheng vigorously supported the poor clansmen of the Li family in Longyou, a family also has many poor families because of the difference between the outside and the outside.

Li Cheng didn't want to be a grandson, but supported the Li family of Longyou, who was poor but talented.

This made Li Shimin think that Li Cheng and his own thoughts were the same, so he appreciated it very much.

Because this case is very big, the head of the Longyou Li family was beheaded, and the entire Longyou Li family was replaced by a family head, so this matter has caused a topic among the people of Chang'an for a long time.

Almost in the streets and alleys, you can hear someone say that this is the matter of the Li family in Longyou.

And at this very moment... Originally, it was a group of headless flies, but finally saw a glimmer of light.
