Chapter 498: Agricultural Civilization and Marine Civilization

"In fact, these things can also be obtained around Datang.

It's just that Datang's current ability can't be arranged in place, because this distance is a bit far. ”

"Ah, Brother Xian, what does this mean?"

"You should also know that the place where we live is a sphere called the Earth.

The earth is so wide from east to west, north and south, and my Datang is just located in a corner.

To the north, there is the vast grassland, and in the north, you will reach the North Pole.

To the south is Lingnan, and to the south, it is to Da Viet.

In fact, after Da Viet, there is also the vast sea and islands.

Further south, there is another continent, which is half the size of my Datang Dynasty.

And these king crabs, this abalone, this lobster, mostly live around that continent.

And now that continent is also borderland.

There are some people on it, but according to their situation, they should still belong to the savages. ”

"Savage, virtuous brother, what is a savage?"

"What the savages mean is that they are all human just like us, but the speed of evolution is not so fast.

If no one bothers them, they will develop for tens of thousands of years, maybe that level can reach the current level of my Datang.

Of course, if the wind and rain had not been war, maybe thousands of years of development, they would have been the same as they are now. ”

"Ah, why is that?"

"If this person wants to keep evolving, he can't be comfortable.

Why is it that in our ancient land, dynasties change and fight constantly?

It's all because of the lack of food, on the other hand, there are many places in the world where people live very comfortably.

They have a lot of food there, and there is no pressure at all. ”

My obedient, Li Eryi's eyes widened when he heard this.

What is lacking in this Datang now? What is lacking is food, I didn't expect that there is such a fairyland in this world, this is simply my ideal country.

"I said Lao Li, there is a good saying, born in adversity, died in peace.

If this person has a very strong sense of adversity, the whole country and the whole nation will always move forward and work hard.

Just like my Central Plains, these 4 circles are full of strong enemies, and if you are not careful, you may lose the country and extinct the species.

Therefore, the people of the Central Plains are all thinking about hard work, and they must not think about comfort.

Maybe one day it will be attacked by the enemy, but I, the Central Plains, will continue to fight, resist desperately, and drive the enemy away.

So as to continue to stand up strongly.

And the ones I told you have no internal and external troubles at all, but their strength is weak.

However, now our technology is not so developed, if we can transport my Datang soldiers over.

It only takes 10,000 soldiers to be able to lay down several times the territory of Datang that is several times larger than mine. ”

Brother Xian, you're not kidding, what can 10,000 soldiers do?

For him Li Er, the 10,000 soldiers are not as many as the soldiers stationed in a city at the border pass.

No matter how weak their group of people is, no matter how weak their strength is, it will not be enough for these 10,000 soldiers to defeat several Datang territories, right?

Speaking of his virtuous brother, is it possible that I don't know how big my Datang territory is?

I shouldn't think about it, if no one else knows.

But it is impossible for his virtuous brother not to know, that is to say, these things he said must be true.

My God, Li Er was shocked again!

"So, our territory, this is one of the most advantageous places given by God.

Resisted the north-west and north-west separated by mountains, resisting this strong enemy.

If the enemy can reach it, we can also row the river and regain the lost territory with armaments.

In fact, the surrounding territory may not be able to be captured by the enemy army, and the main concern is the sea area to the east! ”

Sea area?

That's right, because all of us in the Central Plains think of food as the sky.

And with the idea of taking food as the sky, everyone wants to guard an acre of fertile land.

Guarding the land, but not having any idea of the sea.

We can be called an agrarian civilization, and the northern Turks are called the steppe civilization, and we will not talk about the steppe civilization.

The other civilization is the maritime civilization, the marine civilization is the expansion of the outside world, and the agricultural civilization is stubbornly self-contained.

In today's technology, it is better to say that the two sides will not collide together.

If there is a day in the future when agricultural civilization and maritime civilization collide together.

The farming civilization will be crushed strongly, and it may be able to defeat this group of marine civilizations one day, but the humiliation of this farming civilization will also be hundreds of years.

"Yes, Brother Xian, listening to your words today, it is really reasonable.

I didn't expect that we would just eat this one crab and lobster, since I can let Lao Li also see so many things? ”

"That's right, some things are like this, in fact, the sea area of my Datang can also be completely agricultural civilization, and the marine civilization goes hand in hand.

On the one hand, we will develop military strength on land, and on the other hand, we will develop military strength on the sea.

There are countless territories beyond the sea, and it is completely possible to actively expand to the outside world.

Lay more territory for our Datang, and at the same time open up the sea to commerce, so that the people can be more prosperous.

Encourage business, let these merchants transport these goods to distant places.

At the same time, the goods farther away from the surrounding area will be transported to my Datang.

Although today's Datang is among the best in the world, the cultural knowledge of the surrounding aliens also has a lot to offer.

For example, the set of glass I gave you before.

In fact, the first production of this glaze was in a place called Venice thousands of miles away from my Datang.

It was a city built on water, and Venice was also called the city of water.

There is a development of industry and commerce, and the development of industry and commerce has also promoted the improvement of their technology.

It also gave them the ability to be a hundred years ahead of the world at that time.

In fact, there is no shortage of capable people in Datang, nor is there a shortage of skilled craftsmen, what is lacking is such an opportunity.

If this is a private industry, commercial exchanges are frequent, and the so-called three stinkers are on top of one Zhuge Liang.

The more active the minds of the people become, the more ideas they have, and the more things they create.

At that time, I ask you, do you think my Datang's strength can be further improved? ”

After listening to this, Li Er nodded.

Yes, sometimes things are like this, you have to brainstorm ideas, and you can't just say what you want and do whatever you want.

There are times when a person's decisions are easy to make mistakes.

Hearing what the virtuous brother said, it was very reasonable, and then looked up at his son.

I saw that the prince was also sitting on the side and did not move his chopsticks, listening quietly.

Hey, Li Chengqian said that he was so miserable that he couldn't eat the abalone lobster in front of him.

On the contrary, he could only listen to his father and Uncle Zhao chatting and bragging.

Anyway, can the two of you not talk about these useful and useless things at the dinner table?

After eating, the two of you went to the front hall and talked as much as you wanted.

Don't you see my stomach gurgling?

But there was no way, the two of them were talking about some more important things.

If he didn't even have this rule and gobbled it up on the side, his father would definitely not have a direct attack.

But after Uncle Zhao leaves, he will definitely be cleaned up fiercely.

On the other hand, his sister and them don't have such thoughts.

The three of them should eat and drink, and everything should not be put in their hearts.

Especially this Changle, you should eat something else, don't just dry abalone.

Although it says it's delicious, you have to keep one for your eldest brother and me!

Looking up at his eldest brother, his eldest brother looked at his eyes, and Changle smiled, as if he already knew what he was thinking.

Give him a slight hint of a look, and then swallow the food in his stomach in front of him.

I can't help but sigh.

Wow, father, this food is really delicious, thank you Uncle Zhao!

Li Er smiled when he heard this!

"Okay, daughter, if it's fragrant, you can eat more, and Wan'er, you can eat more."

"Got it, father, thank you, father."

Turned around and glanced at the prince sitting opposite, and seeing his appearance, Li Er spoke.

"Okay, you can eat it too, don't wait until the food is cold before eating, it's not good for your stomach.

That virtuous brother, let's eat first, about those things, let's talk carefully after eating!

Let's have a drink first! ”

After a few glasses of wine, Li Er took matters into his own hands and filled the wine.

"Brother Xian, the wine I drank before was really tasteless, and I didn't feel like it tasted.

It was only by arranging your drinks that I felt that it was quite good to drink.

I won't say much else, I wish our business next year will be new and brilliant, and we will make a lot of money next year. ”

"Uncle Zhao, I also congratulate Uncle Zhao and my father in advance for making a lot of money in this business.

I will also go to Zhaojiazhuang more next year and follow Uncle Zhao to study.

I hope I can take my studies to the next level as well! ”

"Hahahaha, my stinky boy owes a lot of money to my virtuous brother for teaching him well."

"Don't worry, Lao Li, he Xiao Li is also very obedient in my Zhuangzi, and he is also very serious in his studies.

I'm sure he'll be able to be a pillar of the story. ”

"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good.

Come and eat, let's eat first, and talk slowly after eating.

At noon, everyone ate very delicious and satisfied.

It wasn't until the end of the luncheon that they left the house and came to the front hall, and the two chatted a few more words.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Mu left Chang'an City with Li Yue and rushed in the direction of Zhaojiazhuang.

Before leaving.

"Yue'er, next time you come to Chang'an City again, you must remember to do so in advance.

I must arrange for someone to go back to Chang'an City in advance and tell my father, so that I can also prepare in advance. ”

"It's my father, I know, let's go back, and I ask my father not to worry, my daughter will come back to visit you another day."

After speaking, under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Mu and his party left Chang'an City and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing their carriage leave, Li Er coughed lightly.

"Okay, Guanyin, you take people and Qian'er directly, and Changle and them will go back first.

By the way, arrange all those delicacies to the palace, and by the way, give a copy of the auxiliary machine to take back to eat. ”

"Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Auxiliary, you follow me to the Ordnance Prison."

This time he got a new weapon, and Li Er said that this time he must arrange it well.
