"Just like King Qi said just now, the further south you go, the hotter it gets, and this is true before crossing the equator."

He drew a line from the Yangtze River, and then went out to sea to the south to reach the Duwan Island, saying: "Starting from the cities on the Yangtze River, sailing south after going to sea, you can reach Liuqiu Island, which has fields, land, mountains and rivers, and is close to the South Sea, which is a good springboard." ”

The island of Taiwan said a few words, and from there again drew a line south across Luzon, and then drew a large circle around Southeast Asia.

"From Liuqiu Island to the south, all the way to the equator, many islands and lands centered on this sea area of the South Sea, including Funan, Zhenla and other countries here, this piece is the closest treasure land to Datang, where the climate is warm and the rain is abundant; Because of the abundant water and calories, the production of various foods is huge, and staple foods such as rice can be harvested three times a year; There are also a variety of exotic tropical fruits that are difficult for northerners to match. ”

"How would you describe the abundance of food here? Let's put it this way, the local people are still in the state of savages, because they don't need to wear, so they don't need to weave; Because they don't wear clothes and the sun is poisonous, people here are generally very dark and tanned. You can eat from the sky, and you don't need to plow the land to support yourself. There is no worry about food and clothing, and there is no pressure to survive, so civilization has not been formed. ”

In fact, the Indochina Peninsula is not as unbearable as Ye Jinyu said, not only does it already have a primitive regime similar to that of a country, but it can also farm; However, the productivity is indeed extremely low, and the historical records record that the natives of Southeast Asia did not know how to use cattle to cultivate the land until the thirteenth century.

As for the textile, in the third century AD, there were Wu people Kangtai, Zhu Ying sent an envoy to Southeast Asia, and saw with his own eyes that Funan "the people are still naked", it can be seen that the textile industry in this area at that time can be said to be basically non-existent.

Until the thirteenth century, the geographer Zhou Daguan of the Yuan Dynasty went to Southeast Asia, and also saw that the local "natives are not engaged in sericulture, and women do not know how to sew needlework and sewing, and can only weave cotton cloth, nor can they spin, but they are kneaded into strips by hand, and inorganic lemons are woven with inorganic lemons, but they tie their waists at one end and put one end on the window." ”

In Ye Jinyu's view, it is really a waste for the natives to occupy this land, and it is better to let the natives multiply here and eventually evolve into an anti-China force, but to let it become the backyard of the Central Plains people as soon as possible.

Therefore, he bewitched: "The peninsula and many islands in the Nanyang combined, the cultivated land area is at least a million square kilometers, if the farmers of the Tang Dynasty are allowed to develop, as long as it is properly managed, the output of grain should be no problem to feed one or two of the population of the Tang Dynasty." What's more, it's very close to Datang, taking this island as an example. ”

He pointed to the Luzon area, because he did not know what the island was now called, so he could only leave it by name: "It is sparsely populated, but it is rich in gold, copper, and spices; If you take the sea route from Liuqiu, it is a journey of ten days and a half months; What's more, there is no enemy, the only problem is the risk that may be encountered at sea, there are many typhoons in summer, and if the weather cannot be predicted, it is prone to disaster; However, compared with the Turks and Goguryeo, this danger can be ignored, as long as the early warning is strengthened to avoid encountering typhoons. The difficulty of developing Nanyang is relatively low. ”

"Once you have a stronghold on this island, you can use it as a springboard to continue to develop southward; All the way down, the ultimate goal is to reach the Tuzhou in the south! There are only a few natives on the Tuzhou now, the number of natives is far less than that of Muzhou and Shuizhou, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands, these hundreds of thousands of natives are guarding a huge piece of land, guarding this big treasure house, this is a real treasure house, gold mines, silver mines, iron ore, zinc mines, everything, it is completely a piece of land on the mine, it has been waiting for the Tang people to develop. ”

After a rough introduction to Australia's minerals and exotic animals, Ye Jinyu drew a line from Hainan Island and crossed down from Vietnam.

"The route to the island just now is because there are no natives along the way, and the advantage is that there will be no fights with the local natives, but the disadvantage is that it is not popular, and it is difficult to find a supply point, and everything needs to be done by the people who go to the expedition themselves;"

Ye Jinyu paddled down from Hainan Island and said, "From Hainan Island." Speaking of Hainan Island, he stopped and asked, "This place should be called Qiongzhou now, right?" ”

Emperors and princes, you look at me, I look at you, and for a moment no one could tell what this little island was called; However, the national teacher next to him said: "When Emperor Xiao of Liang in the south of this island, Yazhou was set up; Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed its name to Zhuya County in the third year of the Great Cause, and I changed the state to the province in the new dynasty, and took the county as the state; Zhuya County was changed to Danzhou, which belongs to Lingnan Road. It is now called Danzhou. ”

After listening to the introduction of the national teacher, Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Danzhou is not good, according to what the gods said, it is called Hainan Island!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, a broken island name, what the gods want to call, everyone just calls; Hainan Island, there are islands in the south of the sea; Although there is no literary level, it is important to be straightforward, and the words of the gods have always been very straightforward; Take the name of Hainan Island, which is in line with his setting.

"From here on Hainan Island, along the land all the way to the south, there is another route, and the advantage of taking this route over the previous route is that you can find ports or villages along the way to replenish; In case of storms, you can also take shelter from the shore. However, you will encounter a relatively large number of natives, and where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and if there are many immigrants, there will be conflicts of interest with the local natives. However, I believe that Datang's army will solve this small problem. ”

After pointing to the Strait of Malacca, he said: "Take a boat through this strait, all the way to the west, and you will arrive at Tianzhu; It is the western heaven of the Buddha. ”

As soon as the national teacher heard Xitian, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Go to Xitian!" Is there a land route? ”

By Road? Ye Jinyu looked at the map and said, "It can only be from here." "Stripes across the top of Burma." However, this road is high and densely forested, and it is not easy to walk; To build a road, I don't know what year or month I went. It's not as convenient as taking the sea route. ”

The explanation of the god made the national teacher groan for a while, and after a while, he waved at the three princes headed by the crown prince and said: "Your Royal Highnesses, one day which Your Highness wants to go to this western heaven for a while, you must bring the poor road." Go to this western heaven to preach, promote my Taoism, and count yourself as a poor Taoist! ”

Taoist priest actually wanted to go to the territory of Buddhism to spread Taoism, as a religious practitioner, his professionalism regardless of age, not far away, just to solve the spiritual shackles of the local people, is commendable!

How dare the three princes accept the gift of the national teacher, and hurriedly salute back: "Don't dare." "Well said!"

Seeing that they were polite, Ye Jinyu continued: "This western heaven is now full of states, a plate of scattered sand, easy to fight; As long as the logistics and supplies can keep up, any general can be sent to sweep with an army. ”

Then he pointed the stick in his hand to the Arabian Peninsula: "Further west, there is the great food; The Great Cannibal now has a huge territory and a strong national power. ”

From the Arabian Peninsula, Africa: "This is the Continent of Fire, and there are many black people on it; If the people of Nanyang are relatively dark, then the people here are as black as charcoal; Except for the teeth and eyes, everything else was dark, and no one could see it if they hid at night. If any of you go and see it, do not be afraid; The sun is too poisonous there, and the people here are tanned. ”

Several Tang natives were thinking about what kind of sun they needed to make people tan as black as charcoal; However, Ye Jinyu suddenly found that he could blurt out this gold, wood, water, fire, and earth after talking about it a few more times, and he would not be confused.

He also talked about some lions, giraffes, gold and diamonds in Africa, and then he went around Africa in a circle and came to Europe.

"There are a lot of blacks on the Fire Continent, in the north of it, it is the westernmost part of the Golden Continent, and here is the opposite of the Fire Continent, the people here are white, white and red."

Ye Jinyu originally wanted to focus on Niu B in Europe, but if you think about it carefully, Europe should still be a bunch of small landlords fighting village wars there; Nothing good to bull B.

"These white races are like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period in the Central Plains, divided into many small city-states and small countries, fighting all day long; In a short period of time, Datang should not be able to touch them, and by the time he contacts them, Datang should be strong enough to crush them. ”

There was nothing more to say, he concluded: "Okay, this world, I'm done with it!" This is the case, and you can discuss how to do it. ”

Although it was only a hasty introduction, Ye Jinyu felt that the aborigines of the Tang Dynasty should have been very shocked.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan asked him with a curious face:

"God-man, what about beyond this earth? Is there a wider land? Or is it already on the horizon? Beyond this earth, are there pillars that hold up the heavens? ”

One sentence turned Ye Jinyu down, and he was stunned for a while, Ye Jinyu felt that he might be wrong to bring a map, and he should have brought a globe; Tell the natives what it means that the earth is round.
