West Garden, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youji, who was dealing with government affairs, couldn't help but sneeze heavily, reached out and rubbed his nose, and then turned his head thoughtfully to look east.

For some reason, he faintly sensed in his heart that something bad was quietly happening in the east, and even felt a long-lost melancholy.

At the end of science is metaphysics, and it seems that people can really perceive something.

If Zhu Youzhu had a pair of heavenly eyes, then he could see what was happening in the east at this moment, and his perception was not wrong.

Influenced by geography, even though they live together on the same earth, but due to the backwardness of transportation, the East and the West seem to be in two completely different worlds.

Even on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, human beings do not have a relationship between life and death, and even have a completely different view of money.

Taking gold and silver as an example, just as the human beings in the East are racking their brains to snatch precious metals openly and secretly, they don't know that the gold on the other side of the ocean is actually inferior to cocoa beans.

From west to east, we can see a civilization that is different from China.

The western coastline of the Pacific Ocean, after thousands of years, the Inca civilization that belonged to this land also appeared here.

In the southernmost part of South America, the north-south direction of the continent has led to the emergence of the famous Andes Mountains, which bisect the southern part of the continent in two.

To the east, a tropical rainforest is formed, and although there are many plants and animals growing here, this climate is not suitable for human life.

The western part of the country is close to the Pacific Ocean, but there are no plains suitable for growing rice or savannahs suitable for grazing, and the terrain is mostly mountainous.

If it is by the standards of Huaxia, this kind of terrain seems to be very chicken, and it has little economic value at all, and even if it is given to Huaxia for nothing, it may be disliked.

It's just that one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people. Although the people of this land were destined not to give birth to the civilization of the watershed, they were also blessed by the heavens - potatoes.

Although there are many kinds of wild potatoes, there is actually no wild variety of potatoes for human consumption, and even later generations of scientists have not been able to find the originator of eating potatoes.

Everyone knows that the ancestor of chickens is the original chicken, but the ancestors of modern edible potatoes have become an unsolvable mystery.

Like an excellent alchemist, nature uses the habit of hybridization of various wild potatoes to produce new varieties of potatoes through continuous pairing, and then new varieties of potatoes continue to be hybridized indiscriminately, and finally the cultivated potatoes are finally edible.

Not to mention that humans don't know how edible potatoes evolved, I'm afraid that nature that directed all this has been blinded, and I am afraid that it will not be able to do it all over again.

Regardless of where the edible potatoes come from, thanks to the presence of potatoes, a high-yielding and easy-to-grow crop, people here have not only solved the problem of growing food in the mountains, but also met their food needs.

Food, which is often the beginning of all civilizations, is also the most critical factor in their ability to go far.

In the 10th century, a small tribe called the Incas appeared in Peru and slowly rose to prominence.

In 1438, the Inca tribe expanded rapidly, and in just a few decades, the famous Inca Empire was created.

With a population of more than 1 million square hectares, a population of nearly 6 million, and a land length of 4,000 kilometers, the Inca Empire was the first empire in this area.

Empires are often created by force, like the Mongols who almost dominated the world with their iron horses, but an empire without its own script is destined to be full of ills.

The Inca Empire was actually somewhat similar to the Qin Dynasty in China, which established itself by force, but there was no unified book and text in China, nor did it have a county system, but it lacked the embellishment of civilization.

The Intramural city of Bilcabamba stands on top of a mountain, between two peaks.

It was early summer, and the Intramuros were smoky, the largest of all in South America, and were built with megaliths as the main structure.

Although the current Inca king Tupac Inca Yupanqui is nearly half a hundred years old, he is tall and has bright eyes, like an old lion king.

He carried his own sister out of the palace, and his sister, who was actually the current queen of the Incas, came to the high platform together.

"King! King! ”

Thousands of people below cheered loudly when they saw the Inca king appear.

They seemed to worship their king absolutely, and this call to the king was the most important way for them to boost their morale.

The Inca king raised a hand in the air, and the voices of the subjects below immediately stopped, and the whole square fell silent.

The reason why the Incas were able to rule completely from south to north in just a few decades was due to their fierce fighting style and absolute obedience to the king.

The Inca king Tupac Inca Yupanki had ruled the Inca Empire for twenty years, and the land area had increased by a small half, almost completing the rule of the western part of the continent.

As soon as the Inca king's face straightened, he said loudly: "Bring the people up!" ”

There was a commotion in the crowd behind the square, and a little old man in a unicorn suit was escorted up, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This is the expatriate?"

He ...... His clothes are so beautiful! ”

"Not only is his clothes beautiful, his weapon is simply a divine weapon!"

……

Seeing the Ming people who were escorted to the high platform, the Incas present immediately talked about it, and they were also full of curiosity about this human being from overseas.

"I am Liu Zhang, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and I have no bad relations with your country, and this envoy is also treated with courtesy. Dare to ask the Inca king, why did he insult the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and were he really not afraid of the thunderous wrath of the Ming Dynasty? Liu Zhang was caught in front of the high platform and accused loudly with indignation.

In the storm last year, although he had the intention of retreating, he finally chose to continue sailing. In order to be able to reach the other side of the ocean, they could only eat maggots for a while, and even lost a Mingyuan treasure ship.

They thought that they had gone through all the hardships to come to the other side of the ocean, and as long as they found three cash crop seeds to bring back, they would be able to give an account to the emperor. But they didn't expect that their real adventure had just begun.

They reached the southern continent and had not yet had time to complete the supply of water and food. As soon as the news of their landing spread, a large number of Inca troops rushed towards the area, and they took the initiative to attack as soon as they took a face.

Liu Zhang, adhering to the principle of not taking the initiative to cause trouble, decided to lead the fleet to the north.

The Indians of North America were predominantly social in the form of tribes, large and small, scattered in every region of the North American continent, and they survived by hunting.

Due to the language barrier, they experienced all kinds of risks in North America, and even were attacked by black bears at one point, and they were even better friends.

After all these difficulties, they also made contact with the Aztec Empire, and obtained the seeds of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes from the Aztec king, which they were looking for.

Although they found the seeds of the potato, it was not the best variety to the best of their knowledge, and the royal city of Bilcabamba, the royal city of the Inca Empire, cultivated the best potatoes in the world.

He could sail back to South America, but potatoes were never the best, so Liu Zhang finally chose to come to the Inca royal city in person.

The exchange did not go smoothly either, and the Incas did not seem to have the slightest idea of not beheading, but they surrounded the team that was ready to give gifts and ask for seeds.

In order to avoid unnecessary fighting, he chose to enter the royal city alone, wanting to ask the Inca king for potato seeds.

It's just that I didn't expect that these people didn't pay attention to etiquette at all, and the Inca king took care of him like a criminal, and now Liu Zhang knew that his death was coming when he saw the gallows on the high platform.

"Execute!"

"Execute!"

"Execute!"

……

When they saw Liu Zhang being escorted to the gallows, thousands of subjects in the square raised their arms and shouted, but they all wanted to witness the execution of the foreigners.

The Inca king ignored Liu Zhang's anger at all, but raised his arm again to stop the shouts of his subjects, and suddenly the whole square was silent again.

The two Incas pressed Liu Zhang to the gallows, and then put the noose on Liu Zhang's neck, and the words were still in their mouths, but the words were very indistinct.

"Barbarians, beasts don't know etiquette, how can they be like this?" Liu Zhang saw that these people really wanted to strangle his envoy, and he couldn't help but scold.

Not to mention that he is a dignified envoy of the Ming Dynasty, this time he set foot in the Inca Empire without even stepping on a single flower and plant, but as a result, these people robbed themselves of their gifts, and even wanted to execute themselves in this public.

The Inca king put down the golden scepter, which symbolized power, but made a hugging gesture with both hands towards the sun in the sky: "The ancestors of this king have learned from the revelation of the sun god father that after his descendants have passed through eleven generations of kings, some new people who we Incas have never seen will come here, and they will occupy all our kingdoms and other places and merge them into their empire. The king speculates that these people are the same people who are operating along the coast, and that all of these overseas people are going to hell! ”

Regardless of civilization, reverence for heaven and fear of heaven is the most common phenomenon, and conforming to the will of heaven is a consistent practice of human beings.

In their divination, they already knew that the Inca Empire was doomed. When they first learned that the expatriates had come to this land, they first panicked and then wanted to kill the expatriates.

Bang!

It was at this moment that a loud bang suddenly came from the mountain peak.

The Inca king and the others trembled in their hearts, and looked up sharply, but they saw smoke and dust billowing from the mountain peaks, and some rocks were falling, and they were smashing down towards their royal city.

"Heaven's punishment?"

"Run! Run! ”

"This is Thor is angry, please forgive Thor!"

……

The subjects, who had just been disciplined, bowed down one after another when they saw such a vision from heaven, hoping that this calamity would befall them.

Burst!

An Inca man was very unlucky, and just as he was about to flee, a stone fell from the sky and hit him in the head, splattering blood.

"What should I do?" The Inca princess was also panicked, this was a vision that she had never experienced before.

Although the Inca kings experienced countless wars, they relied on their own strength to annex other tribes, often with their bronze swords, and those tribes with wooden sticks only suffered death.

It's just that now in the face of the vision from the sky, my feet still can't help but tremble.

After all, the Inca king was still a mortal in the flesh, and when he saw his subjects kneeling down one after another, he also chose to kneel towards the sky, hoping that God would not punish them with the royal city of the Incas.

"My lord, let's get out of here!" Su Can had already led people into the royal city, and seeing that his rescue plan was going well, he took advantage of the chaos to untie the tied Liu Zhangdao.

When Liu Zhang saw Su Can who suddenly appeared, he suddenly had a feeling for the rest of his life: "Okay!" ”

"Catch them, overseas!"

The Inca king noticed the men who had come in to save Liu Zhang, and ordered loudly.

This voice was not small, many people looked at the high platform, and a group of personal soldiers immediately stepped forward to catch Liu Zhang, Su Can and others.

Bang!

It was at this moment that another loud bang came, and this time the movement was even louder.

Smoke and dust billowed from above, and rocks fell from below, and as a result, a stone landed right on the square, sending the Inca flesh and blood flying across the square, leaving a spurting pit of blood.

"Please, Thor's forgiveness!"

The faces of the Incas who wanted to arrest people just now changed greatly, and they couldn't care about the orders of the Inca king, so they knelt on the ground one after another to worship.

They thought that it was the act of arresting the overseas people that they had offended Thor, so Thor would send down an unprecedented divine punishment and execute a group of their compatriots.

"Good chance, let's go!" Su Can saw that all the Incas knelt down, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

Liu Zhang suddenly stopped, but made a decision and said, "Let's take the Inca king hostage and go back!" ”

"Yes!" Su Can's eyes lit up slightly, and he stepped forward with a knife.

The Inca king realized the danger, but before he could react, there was already a cold divine weapon around his neck.

Although he had never seen such a sharp divine weapon, he knew that as long as the other party used a knife, their lives would end here.

It's just that he doesn't want to die no matter what, not to mention that he has endless glory and wealth, so suddenly dying will definitely cause turmoil in the empire.

The throne of their Inca Empire was not a succession, but was entirely decided by him, the Inca king, but until now no heir has been appointed.

"Do you want to die or live?" Liu Zhang came to the side of the Inca king and immediately asked with a straight face.

The Inca king faintly felt the meaning of the other party, and seemed categorical: "Live!" ”

"Where are your golden potatoes, take us there immediately!" Liu Zhang has not forgotten his mission so far, and he asked viciously.

The Inca king nodded as if he didn't understand, and after being pushed hard by Su Can, he led the way.

The inhabitants of the Inca Empire looked at each other, but at this time they did not know what to do. But their king fell into the hands of the foreigners, and they did not dare to act rashly, but only hoped that their king would be safe and sound.

Led by the Inca king, the group quickly left the royal city and came to a valley behind the royal city. I saw that the golden light here was shining, and it turned out to be a realistic golden mountain.

This mountain of gold is quite magical, all of them are made of golden potatoes made of yellow finance, each of which is larger than the potatoes eaten now. It's not that the Inca Empire really doesn't understand gold, but that they all melt into golden potatoes, as if expecting to grow golden vines. (End of chapter)
