By the way, with Xu Xiake here, he studied karst landforms earlier than Europe, and there are Jinnige and Deng Yuhan as witnesses, so it can't be called the name "karst" in the Balkans in the future.

Deng Yuhan heard that the two of them had seen this kind of landform, so he hurriedly walked over and asked.

Xu Xiake was still in the early stage of Yunyou at this time, and there were not so many sums of summaries, and when he was about to introduce from experience, Wang Hongyu coughed lightly and introduced it first:

"Ahem...... This landform is a landform formed by limestone and other rocks that are impacted, eroded and deposited by water flows, as the name suggests, called karst landform, or Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan-Guizhou landform. ”

You didn't seem to be called that?

Xu Xiake and Deng Yuhan's doubts only stayed for a moment, and they were attracted by the content introduced by Wang Hongyu.

"Karst landforms are caused by the impact and melting of rocks by water, and the name of Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan-Guizhou landform is because this landform is more common in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi in my Ming Dynasty."

"That's exactly ......" Xu Xiake also understood this from experience, and now immediately began to record the origin of this landform and record it in detail.

And personally close to the karst landform to observe carefully, and even look for a cave to crawl into.

With the assistance of Wang Hongyu, a sample of the washed out was obtained, and the washed rock was compared for future research.

After Xu Xiake's observation, it is estimated that there are many sinkholes here, and the surface water and groundwater of the entire forest area are washed and gathered in the limestone, and enter the underground dark river through the sinkholes, and after several twists and turns, they gush out at the source of the blocked river, forming waterfalls and streams.

】

The eroded terrain is the karst landform, or the "Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou landform" that Wang Hongyu just called. ”

Deng Yuhan kept exclaiming: "Amazing! Amazing! ”

As a scientist, he has always been very curious, and although he is in his 40s, he is still as excited about new things as he was as a teenager.

"The plants in this terrain are very different from the plants in the mountains and forests not far away!" As a botanist and a medical scientist, he was ecstatic and frantically painted, leaving his servants to collect samples before he could do so.

"Be careful!"

Zhou Yijie, the guide and others reminded loudly, and everyone caught a glimpse of a spotted yellow figure flashing by, leaving in an instant in the stone forest, and disappearing into the mountain forest on the other side.

South China Tiger ...... Of course, it can't hurt so many of us, I hope to do a good job of research at this time! Leave more content for posterity. ”

Wang Hongyu knew that there were no South China tigers in the wild in the future, but there were still many in the late Ming Dynasty, and the scientific expedition personnel in the future must be careful.

Although he is a master of linguistics, he was surprised to see so many views that it was difficult to describe in words.

On the animal side, there were some creatures that were not found in Europe, especially the tiger, which was different from the species he had heard of, and seemed to be smaller but more agile.

He glanced at Deng Yuhan, and Deng Yuhan also said that he had never seen it.

"A few people, this time the journey is so far, the sample should be collected a little less, because there is still a lot of wonderful content behind~ Please rest assured, in the future, I will also establish a scientific research station affiliated to the academy, please contribute more."

"Good!"

Wang Hongyu's tone was light, and he led everyone to the edge of Shennongjia, just to further convince them. It's just now, and the effect is very good~

Make directions and markers on the map, take a break and continue with your guide.

Finally, in the depths of the karst landform, I saw a stone village built in the middle of the stones.

After the guide greeted him, dozens of men, women and children came out of the stockade and knelt down to greet him: "General, we are all people of the Ming Dynasty, and we are willing to provide materials and pay taxes......

Wang Hongyu hurriedly said: "Don't kneel, everyone, the government didn't do what it should do before, and it can't satisfy everyone, and now this general must be satisfied with everyone, so he dares to include everyone in the government to collect taxes."

personally helped up the uncle and aunt who took the lead, and sighed that no one touched porcelain at this time, so they dared to do this kind of thing~

This small village, in fact, occasionally does some trade with the outside world, and most of it is cultivated by itself in the mountains.

Behind this karst landscape, they have cultivated a small terraced field, which, together with the fruits and prey of the mountains and forests, and the aquatic products of the streams and rivers, can feed these dozens of people.

From time to time, he traded some mountain goods for salt, and lived a life that could barely survive.

Of course, it's not a paradise, but it can be sustained.

If they defected to the government, they would have to leave the mountain, and they might not get good fields and tools, but they would have no mountain goods, so they would live in seclusion and not go out of the mountain.

Wang Hongyu asked Lei Ming to be a witness, and there were two development choices.

First, it was promised that only a guide would be provided to lead the way, and in the future, there would be a school for those who had the opportunity to learn, and there would also be industrial and mining and expeditions to participate. There is no need to forcibly evict this part of the mountain, but you have to pay taxes on the acres of land, and the poll tax and miscellaneous taxes are reduced for three years.

Second, if it becomes part of the construction of the military camp, it is possible to change the place of residence as needed, and there will also be people who will open mountains and build roads with the army. But the treatment will be very good, not to mention no tax, and there will be wages in the case of providing basic food.

Meaning, it is directly counted as the construction of the military tun. In this way, there is no need to measure the land and collect taxes, and there is no very troublesome poll tax, and the task of building military cantonments needs to be carried out.

In other words, it is better to lose a certain degree of "freedom" and gain an identity recognized by the imperial court than the status of an exile.

And after listening to the treatment of the construction of the military camp, these people hiding in the mountains couldn't believe it.

"Choose two! Choose two! ”

Being able to directly recruit into the construction of the military camp is actually more fortunate than others, because they have to be used as guides and contributions, so they are directly approved to join.

Other people are not open to joining freely for the time being.

Some soldiers who joined the construction of the military camp from the displaced people directly explained the changes in their lives in the past month or so, and the people in the village were so excited that they shed tears.

If you can live a good life, you can work hard to cash in on the preferential treatment, and everyone wants to work hard for Daming~

The people in the stone village were officially included in the construction of the military camp, and they also introduced the surrounding situation.

Along the periphery of Shennongjia, to the edge of Zhuxi and Zhushan, there are still some villages, some Han people, some Miao people, all have some their own specialties.

Wang Hongyu plans to include them in the construction of military tuns, responsible for exploring roads and looking for mineral deposits, as for the current problem of grain production, there are Zhushan County and Zhuxi County to support the construction of military tuns, and they are not hungry.

This frees them all at once.

Wang Hongyu arranged for the eldest brother's nephew, Zhou Gui, to take a few people from the Zhou family and 3 guides to implement the matter, specifically to survey resources, and if there are a few villages that are too remote and have fewer resources, they plan to withdraw and merge.

In this way, villages and towns can also be established in a centralized manner, and industries can be developed in a concentrated manner.
