The more the natural environment is blessed, there is often no advanced civilization.

The African continent is fertile with soil and water, and the amount of precipitation is relatively abundant, and it is not as barren as people think.

It can be said that there are such abundant wild animals, and if the area of such a large fertile soil is according to the normal law of development, it should reach a period of prosperity, and the level of productivity will continue to increase.

But Africa has never had a powerful empire, not even a unified empire.

Coincidentally, the same is true of the Americas, where the Indians occupy the better land in the world, and for thousands of years they are still drilling wood for fire, fishing and hunting. Clothed in leaves, with bows and arrows that have not changed for thousands of years, they form tribes one by one.

It is precisely because there are more gifts from nature that they have developed a comfortable life, and they have also developed a kind of inertia of dependence. The soil of Africa grows and bears fruit by throwing a seed, but they would rather eat the soil than work.

After all, it comes down to one word, lazy.

Yao Qisheng has fought in Africa, and now he has attacked the Americas, and he has already felt this reason.

After a period of indoctrination, they had no choice but to let Chinese businessmen come to the Americas to build factories and recruit local natives for production.

Although they don't have this concept yet, Yao Qisheng actually occupies most of the land in northern America.

There are many birds and animals here, and the forest is full of treasures under the cover of various vegetation.

The Han Chinese have always been particular about their long history, so they did not go out of their way to plunder local resources like the Europeans in South America.

This relatively mild style, as well as the far leading technology, made the local aborigines worship and think that they were visitors from heaven.

Yao Qisheng walked on the road of the newly built governor's residence, listened to the reports of the officials around him, and said with a smile: "These days, there are more and more ships in Japan, and your Denglai sailors have a lot of contacts with Japan, and their domestic maritime commerce is also so developed?" ”

The military commander sent by the Denglai Navy Division this time, Xu Jing, wrinkled his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "Japan has always been favored by His Majesty because of its docility, especially the repeated sending troops to go deep into the barren, the north to the snow field bloody Rakshasa expedition, and the south to Java to catch the natives, it can be described as hard work and resentment, and the credit is not small. However, it seems that the emergence of domestic maritime merchants is a recent thing. ”

Yao Qisheng paused and said: "There are many capable people in Japan, and when I was lecturing in Wutang, I saw more than a dozen Japanese students. These people are the sons of Japanese officials and generals, and if they can still exercise such self-control, they will definitely be able to become a climate in the future. ”

Xu Jing smiled: "That's not right, the governor doesn't know, the Japanese soldiers have always been our pioneers, and they are as brave as eagles and dogs." ”

"It's not good to have a strong neighbor on the side of the couch."

The Sailors have a good sense of Japan, and every time they go out on a tour of Japan, they are greeted with great hospitality. Many sailors even had a few women in Japan, and they usually didn't see them, and they only enjoyed them for a few days after they arrived. These women are as docile as serving the emperor, and compared with the originally more elegant Central Plains women, they have become synonymous with pungency.

In particular, the officers and soldiers stationed in Nagasaki and Satsuma in Japan were even treated as a vacation when they went to sea, and they were treated like uncles wherever they went.

After Yao Qisheng finished speaking, Xu Jing disagreed with the boss in his heart, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Governor has never been to Japan, I don't know, the whole country of Japan is very respectful to our Chinese Dynasty, if you want to say that they will rebel, I'm afraid it's a little too worried, hahaha." ”

Yao Qisheng's eyelids were wiped and he lowered his head and said: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." The Hua Dynasty is now extremely strong, His Majesty is in the prime of life, the whole country is strong and strong, the naval warships are like clouds, the Jingbei elite horses are like rain, and the temples and fierce generals are gathered. But when the moon is full, it is a loss, and Meng Yuan was so strong that year, and he was driven back to Mobei after a hundred years. When the Ming Dynasty rises, who can stop it in the four seas. However, in the last years of the Apocalypse, a few hungry thieves in Shaanxi who couldn't eat could stir up the world with a wave of their arms.

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, Manchuria built slaves to be dogs, and they were not inferior to today's Japan. However, the Central Plains was in trouble, and they instantly became wolves, biting and gnawing, which was unprecedented in ancient times.

I once looked closely at the Japanese soldiers, who were docile but fierce and aggressive; conceited, unruly but elegant and polite; You can close the country to the outside world, or you can open the sea completely. This kind of person can't let him succeed, if the Central Plains declines, I am afraid that the fierceness of the Japanese rebellion is not weaker than that of Jiannu. In my opinion, there may be a war between China and Japan, and it cannot be avoided. ”

Xu Jing could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, and couldn't understand the governor's words, but felt that it was unreasonable.

The Japanese are so docile, how can they rebel, but those Koreans are obedient on the surface, but secretly they are constantly cautious and always want to get cheap.

The Japanese are different, they will give the best to the Chinese, and they will never complain.

Yao Qisheng watched coldly, and knew that the Denglai sailors were more optimistic about the Japanese people, so they would not say much if they did not speculate.

At this time, Japan had embarked on a very extreme path, and the Tokugawa family had actually controlled all the military and political power in Japan because of Hou Xuanyan's early support, in other words, he had all the conditions for dictatorship.

He took advantage of the most-favored-nation treaty signed between Gong Zifang and Japan to forcibly interfere in the domestic economy. Tokugawa Ietsuna ordered that all Japanese should work hard to contribute to the prosperity of Japan, and the state should pay for the purchase of merchant ships from the Hua Dynasty and the purchase of grain and raw materials from the Hua Dynasty.

The peasants were vigorously suppressed, and the land was enclosed and the slaves bought by the South Seas worked for it.

The livelihood of the Japanese people was forcibly changed, forcing them to work in Japanese factories, and the working hours were very strict.

Under high pressure, Japan is slowly changing like the Chinese and Korean models.

But this practice is infinitely harmful, and the road of the Hua Dynasty was under the guidance of Hou Xuanyan, and the people walked out on their own.

The state gave benefits to the people, the rise of maritime merchants, and the expansion of overseas lands eventually led to the Hua Dynasty becoming what it is today.

Therefore, the track of the Chinese Dynasty was in line with the will of heaven and the people, but Japan used the conquest to forcibly reverse it, and laid a lot of trouble.

This practice is extremely dependent on the Sino-Japanese most-favored-nation treaty, which was originally a constraint on them, and once the Chinese dynasty ends the treaty, they will be completely bankrupt.

If the purchase of things from the Chinese Dynasty required commercial taxes, their system would play themselves to death, and there would be no room for reversal.

At this time, the Chinese who were immersed in a prosperous era that had not been seen for thousands of years, enjoying unprecedented comfort and wealth, did not know anything about it, and only a few people such as Yao Qisheng, who had a unique vision, were only slightly worried.
