Fanwai - the second China
The lush Tang family garden, under Tang Yi's careful care, is verdant and flourishing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but today Tang Yi did a thing of burning the qin and cooking cranes, the precious flowers and plants were bulldozed, and the vacated land was divided into three parts, one was planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes, one was planted with corn, and one was planted with eggplant, radish, and cabbage.
After working for more than 20 days, it took him to fill the garden, and holding on to his old waist that was about to break off, Tang Yi sighed.
Thinking that Hai Rui was planting vegetables in the mansion, he kept laughing at him, but he really didn't expect that one day he would have to learn from Hai Gangfeng. People are old, their hearts are old, and even Wang Yueying doesn't like bright flowers and plants very much, but prefers to tinker with crops. Maybe this is something that has been planted in the bone marrow for thousands of years, and it can't be pulled out.
Wang Yueying and Liuying worked together to plant peppers, daylilies, and sunflower seeds around the corner. When autumn comes, there are ripe melon seeds to eat.
When it was harvest season, Wang Yueying personally harvested the huge sunflowers, exposed them to the sun, then removed the full seeds, carefully fried them, wrapped them in oiled paper, and added small bags of lime to absorb water and avoid spoilage.
He fried the white sugar he bought into syrup, wrapped it in peanuts planted by Tang Yi, turned it into authentic peanut candy, sealed it together, and handed it over to the ocean mail ship.
Like Wang Yueying, many elderly parents gathered at the dock, stuffed the clothes sewn out by stitch and the letters full of handwriting, into the hands of the sailors, and repeatedly told them to be sure to deliver the things.
The cold wind blew red on people's faces, and soon snowflakes fell.
Since the beginning of winter, this is the third heavy snow in Suzhou, and the power of the Xiaoice River period is getting stronger and stronger, even if you are in Jiangnan, you can feel a strong threat.
There has been a marked reduction in field yields and an increase in food prices.
Many families follow Tang Yi's example, in front of the house and behind the house, try to grow as many vegetables and grains as possible.
I heard that not long ago, the empire established an academy of sciences and began to study chemical fertilizers, and planned to produce fertilizer powder within ten years. In addition, the cabinet of the empire also decided to overhaul roads, build tracks, use trains, and transport coal in the north.
With underground fuel, it can withstand the bitter cold of winter, at least the north will not freeze to death in a large area because of the cold...... At least Tang Yi has been away from the center for ten years, and the empire is still stable, and it can even be said to be developing at a high speed.
The Yangming Society has long been unified in their understanding, they are facing an unprecedented crisis, with the strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties, they cannot break the cycle of chaos, they must go all out, in order to be able to defeat nature and make the empire prosperous forever.
In the latest cabinet, the prime minister fell into the hands of Gu Xiancheng, the finance minister fell to Li Sancai, who had been in charge of Cao Yun for many years, and the old minister Xiao Daheng was in charge of military affairs.
This is Jiajing's forty-one years of Jinshi, many of his friends in the same department have been in the picture, Zhishi returned to his hometown, Xiao Tycoon is still old and strong, sharp and enterprising.
After he entered the cabinet, he advocated the establishment of provinces in the vast north, from Liaodong, to the grasslands, to Central Asia, and even the Ural Mountains.
First, it is necessary to strengthen local control, second, it is necessary to prevent the barbarians from the north from rebelling and causing chaos in the south, and third, it is necessary to choose opportunities to expand the territory.
Xiao Daheng also proposed to deal with the problem of the bitter cold and lack of population in the north, vigorously immigrate from the Japanese state, and use the relatively hard-working Japanese people to develop the vast Siberia.
Everyone knows that development is just a nice saying, but in fact, it is forcing them to die and take their lives to open up the territory. Gu Xiancheng did not hesitate to support Xiao Daheng's proposition.
Millions of Japanese were relocated to the Far East, and about twenty years later, the number of Han people in the four islands of the Japanese kingdom reached as much as 40%, while the Ezo people occupied 20%, and as for the Japanese people, it was less than 40%.
Subsequently, the Wa kingdom was divided into three provinces and incorporated into the territory of the empire.
After officially becoming the territory of the empire, the development of the four islands ushered in a spring, and a large number of Han merchants poured into the Wa Kingdom to dig for gold and silver, and every year a whole shipload of gold and silver was shipped back to China.
The gold and silver exploitation of the Wa Kingdom dried up, and the farther land came into everyone's sight...... Americas!
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty have long known that Xiyi's gold and silver come from the Americas, and they have also organized manpower to cross the ocean, but the Pacific Ocean is too big, and Xiyi has seized the opportunity, and it is too difficult for them to seize the land.
However, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are very resilient, and the North and South Ocean companies worked together, and they established a complete supply line along the small islands in the Pacific Ocean like a string of pearls, and in the process of operation, they discovered the vast Australia.
Within five years, 300,000 people had arrived in Australia, establishing a series of villages and towns along the coast.
They were not satisfied with this, and after occupying Australia, the road into the Americas was completely opened, and Tokugawa Ieyasu and Wild Boar Skin, two mercenaries were sent out, and they acted as pioneers and seized the foothold respectively.
Ping An led the fleet across the Pacific Ocean, first taking Hawaii, and after half a year in Honolulu, officially entering the San Francisco Harbor.
A beautiful coastal city with a pleasant climate, and even a gold mine!
The gold rush that has just been ignited in China is burning more violently, and countless young people chasing the dream of gold have embarked on a journey, and they have flocked to San Francisco.
This place, originally occupied by Spain, has been driven away. Only a slightly ugly military fort remains, with bullet holes in it, showing the fierce battles of the past.
Ping An personally nailed a boundary monument here - conquer the distance!
The vast and rich American continent made him salivate, with herds of bison, rich timber, and endless mineral resources. Geologists have even discovered huge oil fields in the coastal direction, thick black liquid, capable of acting as fuel and helping them withstand the cold.
Fertile land grows enough food.
Many young people who have failed to pan for gold have chosen to live and work here, and villages and towns have sprung up one after another.
But this was not enough, Ping An felt that he could do it faster.
It took him a lot of effort to figure out that on this continent, not without human habitation, the primitive Indians, who lived a life of fishing and hunting, have been living for thousands of years.
Knowing that a hundred years ago, the influx of Xiyi broke their peaceful life.
Xiyi killed the Indians, grabbed the land, and promised that a skull could be exchanged for a gold coin. The abominable Xiyi is like a pack of man-eating monsters, greedily devouring life.
Not only did they bring with them the killing, but they also brought the terrible smallpox, and the isolated Indians were quickly attacked, and death spread, and countless people wailed loudly in pain.
Finally, one day, they met the Savior.
A group of black-haired and black-eyed people who brought a way to prevent smallpox, as long as they were vaccinated and had cowpox on their bodies, they could avoid the terrible smallpox.
The grateful Indians knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude in the most reverent gesture.
These respectable people, who were humble and kind, invited the Indian chiefs to their homes, and brought out ancient scrolls, which had symbols similar to those of the Indian frescoes, but were innumerably more complicated, and the chiefs were puzzled.
Those who saved their lives told them in a sighing tone that thousands of years ago, there was a large-scale battle in the Central Plains.
The majestic monarch, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, he sent a large army, conquered the Yi people of Lianghuai, opened up the territory, and made brilliant achievements.
At this time, the princes in the west, King Wu of Zhou, suddenly sent troops and took the world of the Shang Dynasty, and the soldiers loyal to Emperor Xin were unwilling to submit to King Wu of Zhou, they chose Yang Fan to go to sea, and after sacrificing countless people, they rushed to the distant American continent, and settled here and multiplied.
That's where the Indians come from, and we have the same skin color, black hair, and black eyes, which are not at all the same as those red-haired and blue-eyed barbarians.
They brought out rusty bronze and scratched tortoiseshell bones, with symbols similar to those used by the Indians.
After thousands of years of separation, there is finally a time for reunion!
The leaders of the Indians were not allowed to take them to the temple that had just been completed, where the statue of the ancestor of China, the Yellow Emperor, was enshrined, and the loess brought from the distant Central Plains.
"My brothers, reunited, we are reunited!"
The officials from the Central Plains warmly embraced every head and treated them warmly.
The goods from the Central Plains, a dazzling array of relatives, graceful and luxurious, brilliant civilization, let the Indians find their true belonging, they cry like children, heartbreaking.
It only took a few days to be convinced that they were descendants from the distant Central Plains.
Enshrine the two emperors of Yan and Huang, learn Chinese, read Han history, and restore the clothes of the Han family.
A hurricane that swept across the American continent.
More and more Indians gathered under the dragon banner and launched a fierce offensive against Xiyi, with the weapons provided by the Chinese Empire, and a large number of imperial soldiers involved, Xiyi's power quickly collapsed, and they could only retreat to the east coast, surviving for a while, waiting for the fate of destruction.
Ping An is not without pride, and the stupid Xiyi will never understand the power of assimilation, nor will he understand what a united front is.
Chewing the peanut candy made by his mother, Ping'an's eyes were red, and he was convinced that in a few decades, the vast Americas would become the second China! (To be continued.) )
