Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 191 [190] Zheng He entered the army due to crime
end of June.

Balanced road construction is busy.

After the road from the No. 6 metropolis to the main city is completed, it is heading towards the No. 2 metropolis, Sacramento.

There is a waterway connecting the main city to the No. 2 city. This river is also the birthplace of the California Gold Rush in later generations.

Today, the gold on the riverbed has almost been discovered by the people; as early as a few years ago, the gold mining team moved to other river basins and mountainous areas to explore.

The waterway flows westward and joins the Sacramento River.

Due to the hidden dangers of floods in later generations, a reservoir area was built in the middle of the river.

But now, it has become the first "water road" for equilibrium.

Tribes from the Great Lakes and the east coast of North America brought their shipbuilding techniques and combined them with each other.

Bark boats are popular in the Great Lakes, similar to primitive canoes; while the aborigines facing the sea have learned to use the wind direction to build miniature masts and sails.

And it is known that in order to enhance the balance, a balance bar is installed on the side of the hull to connect the floating objects and improve the stability of the boat.

Of course, these technologies are extremely backward.

In 1413, the fleet of the Sanbao eunuch set off for the fourth time, sailing to Southeast Asia and East Africa.

The treasure ship of hundreds of meters is the largest in the world.

However, the aborigines in North America are not as bad as imagined. The aborigines from "Florida" all know that there is a group of their compatriots living on the other side of the ocean.

The so-called other side, of course, is not the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, but Cuba across the sea from Florida.

There are records in the tribe that their ancestors took people out to sea to find a new homeland in order to avoid wars from other tribes.

After a few generations, there were indeed people who spoke the same language as them, drifting in wooden boats.

This can prove that the natives of North America already had the experience of ocean navigation.

It's just that they are "fighting for their lives" every time they come and go, and there is no organization of sufficient size to provide them with the background of technological research and development and technological improvement.

People are still running around for basic survival needs.

Under the surrender balance, everything is naturally different.

The monks of the law led the tribal craftsmen to carry out research and development for practical purposes. The former gave theoretical knowledge, and the latter put it into practical operation.

They spliced ​​the two boats together, replacing the balance beams to provide stability, and fixed the sampan between the two boats, which could carry the cargo.

Since the rise of the supply and marketing cooperatives, the northern part of the Kingdom of God has had prosperous shipping.

But now, dozens of boats are running on the river, carrying stones, building roads for the main city and No. 2 big city, and providing transportation support.

Greatly improved construction efficiency.

Ship development is not in a hurry, and there is no place for it to be used now.

After the Kingdom of God annexes China and the United States, it can set sail in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, land in Cuba, and complete the exploration of the Caribbean Sea.

It is not only for the enlightenment of the kingdom of God to conquer the ocean, but also for the visit of a distinguished guest named Columbus.

From mid-August.

A 60-kilometer-long stone road runs through it, adding up to the No. 6 Dacheng Road, a total of more than 230 kilometers.

The road will continue to the south for 70 kilometers, to the No. 3 big city Stockton, and finally complete the connection of the Ten Cities of the Kingdom of God.

Balance the main city.

It took Zhou Weiguo a month to finally complete the ten-city tour, and for the first time after his imprisonment was completed, he visited the Holy Land of Machinery - the oil factory area.

After returning to the main city, he meets Xiaohua.

"Is this a gift for me?" Xiaohua asked suspiciously when he saw him handing out a wooden box.

Zhou Weiguo became embarrassed, "Look first."

When the wooden box is opened, an oil painting is presented, which is constructed in three-dimensional geometry and filled with colors with dyes, making the entire oil factory area perfectly displayed.

The clerk and Zhou Ruonan on the side both expressed emotion.

"Worthy of the Dzogchen Art Principle, I'm busy with my affairs, and I don't have time to listen to your lecture tour in the No. 2 Great City."

Zhou Ruonan is indifferent to the laws of art.

She is still young, she didn't even enter the Temple Mount, and the law of Dzogchen assessment is even further away, so she doesn't care about this extra point.

She has lofty ambitions, and will imitate the chief and break through to the first rank with the power of the five laws and the laws of the earth. That is an admirable move.

Xiaohua took a deep breath, pondered for a moment and said: "The painting is good, but there is almost no practical use!"

"Unless you open a 'museum', but that will only see its historical significance after ten or decades."

Zhou Weiguo was dissatisfied: "If I don't paint now and keep my works, where will I find these works of art with historical value after decades?"

"What's more, don't forget, this is my lord's will. After the trial, we will gather cultural relics from the cities in the south and build museums."

Zhou Weiguo tossed out Wang Zha. Of course, Xiaohua couldn't say much, and handed the box back with a smile, "What are you in a hurry for? I didn't say you can't build a museum! Put it away carefully, and it depends on whether you can bring it back after your Trial Triumph triumphantly." what."

"It's mid-August now, what are your plans?"

Only then did Zhou Weiguo restrain his emotions and said, "Spend half a month to collect information with Didymar."

"In September, I should go to the No. 9 city to join the army for training. I heard from the Templars who guarded me that the armor is heavy. If it is not sharpened, it will be difficult to persist for several minutes."

"It is precisely because of this that the iron riders who have entered the balance are all the bravest warriors of the tribe!"

"Since I'm with the army, I can't hold back."

Those who fight for balance are all honored.

Even Xiaohua turned serious, and praised together with several people, "Praise my Lord, praise balance!"

"Equilibrium lies in..."

……

Didymar and Sin King's imprisonment becomes routine.

The two are used to life now.

Although not in contact with the outside world, the vast sea of ​​laws is far more fascinating than the vastness of the sky and sea outside.

Midsummer.

Three courtyards have been opened.

The early rice was planted in March, and now the ears of rice are swaying in the breeze.

"Is this the rice I'm waiting to eat?"

Didymar was amazed and found it incredible.

Since he was a child, the Sin King didn't eat fireworks in the world, so he didn't know the shock of the dense rice ears of this crop, he only knew its taste.

"The rice is soft, sweet, and has a special aroma. Compared with the corn eaten by the Aztecs and the City-State Alliance, I don't know how much better!"

"Worthy of being a creation of the gods, praise the balance!"

Didymar looked at the Sin King and said, "Did you know that the Aztecs also had rice?"

"What?" The Sin King was shocked and puzzled.

Didymar nodded seriously, "Because the result is shriveled and rough, it is more difficult to remove the shell, it is tasteless to eat, and it is quite choked, so it is eaten by most farmers."

"In the city's trade market, no one buys it."

"At the same time, I, the Aztecs, filled lakes to build fields, and paddy fields were the easiest to obtain. It took three years of sun exposure to 'make fields' before they could be turned into corn fields. Before that, rice was used as a substitute crop."

Sin King said: "Are you sure this is a crop?"

"Of course, I was born in a farmer's family since I was a child, and I ate these rice! The fruit is far less plump than this rice ear. You have never seen the real thing, so you can't make a comparison!"

"But you can imagine that just a few clusters of rice can produce a bunch of fruits, which can be the food for you and me for a day. If this courtyard house is removed and all of it is used to grow rice, how long can I wait to be full?"

Not to mention that the sin king's mathematical laws have not yet been introduced, but a rough imagination makes his head dizzy.

at this time.

The gate of the jail was opened.

A figure walked in and said with a smile: "The three courtyards have a total of two acres of land. Calculated based on the output of 'Yuan Shen Rice Seed', one mu can produce 800 catties of rice, a total of 1600 catties."

"The hulling is made, and the rice yield is about 960 catties."

"Based on the two of you eating 1 catty per day, you can be full for 960 days. Converted to conversion, one year's harvest can be used for 2 years and 6 months."

The words fall.

The two trembled, both shocked by the answer they got and delighted by his appearance.

"My teacher, why are you here!"

"In the punishment of imprisonment, outsiders should not be allowed to visit."

Zhou Weiguo said: "I have asked for the will to come to ask you two, and I will also teach you the profound meaning of the law."

After being instructed by Xiaohua, Zhou Weiguo asked for the order before my lord and the witch left.

The two have special identities and will be of great use in the future. It is best to practice the law.

Secondly, it is to obtain information and provide convenience for the trial.

Wait for Zhou Weiguo to step into the courtyard.

The door is closed again.

He glanced at the familiar environment, revisited the old place, couldn't help but feel emotional, sat down on the steps of the porch of the hut, and then pointed to the rice road——

"Continue to talk about the 'Yuan Shen Rice Seed' with a yield of 800 jin per mu. It is the result of our people's single breeding method and simple care. If we take good care of it, the 'scientific cultivation' yield can reach more than 1000 jin."

"Wait, can you know how many acres of fertile land there are in Equilibrium?"

The two had already sat cross-legged, listening to the teachings, and shook their heads blankly when asking questions, turning into expectant gazes.

Zhou Weiguo stretched out a finger, "The total of 10 cities is 100 million mu, and this number is still rising. Every year, new wasteland is reclaimed."

"Last year's "Supply and Marketing Cooperative"'s stockpiled grain statistics alone were as high as 5 million catties of refined rice. The Shenguo granary needs to be expanded every year, otherwise it will not be able to hold it at all."

"And the people of the Kingdom of God have not all been involved in farming affairs, and all walks of life are accompanied by hunting, gold mining, clothing making, and industrial development."

"The road is still being built, otherwise the output will only be more amazing."

"Furthermore, California is humid and rainy, and it is difficult to store in barns. Instead of storing excess stale rice and spoiling it, it can only slow down farming efficiency and expand other crop types, such as vegetables, melons and fruits."

At this moment.

The faces of the two sin kings were already flushed.

Listen.

Does this speak human words?
Mido can't be eaten up, any more will be spoiled!
Didymar took a deep breath and said, "If millions of people in the south surrender to the balance, can they still eat this delicious rice?"

"That's natural." Zhou Weiguo said, "I ordered you to move to the east for the big development of the east, which is to build the main agricultural city, reclaim the farmland, and feed yourself!"

"Only when everyone has enough food and clothing, will they be able to spare no effort to bring greater development to the scientific and divine laws of the Kingdom of God."

The Sin King said again: "Why is it called 'Yuan Shen Rice Seed'?"

Looking up at the direction of the temple, Zhou Weiguo praised: "My lord has something to say. In the deep space of the distant universe, there is a god of agriculture named 'Yuan'. The rice seed he created nourishes the life of the endless deep space universe. My lord is balanced."

"If it weren't for the coming of balance, we wouldn't have been blessed by such a god."

"Praise my lord, praise the equilibrium, and praise the great God of Agriculture!"

There must be my teacher when three people walk together, that's the situation.

Zhou Weiguo was their teacher, so they chatted about this agricultural matter...

Stay until sunset.

After making the meal, you will be full with wine and food.

Zhou Weiguo didn't shy away from it at all, and talked about business: "I need to know everything about the city-state alliance!"

"Two months later, the Judgment will start. I will supervise and supervise the investigation of the consequences of your alliance with the city-state."

"Chimal Popoca, you are a royal family, you should know that everything you have comes from the people!"

"No one knows better than you what you are waiting to loot and what you have robbed!"

"And my lord has understood everything. Your grandfather is the monarch of Tepanix, the largest country in the city-state alliance, and this is the culprit!"

"The Legislative Yuan of the Kingdom of God has a saying, to be lenient when confessing, and to be strict when resisting!"

"Whether it can save them depends on your testimony."

The young man looked astonished.

plunder?

Isn't it reasonable for the people to submit to the royal family and pay tribute?
Didymar immediately came to the rescue, "Sin King, you need to know that everything owned by the royal family is false prosperity!"

"The balanced happy country is simple, but everyone has food and clothing, and there is no need to worry about livelihood."

"As I said, no one eats the dry rice seeds, but only the poor farmers. If they don't contribute the plump corn, how could it come to this?"

"You have also experienced hunger on the road to redemption, and you should understand the truth of this."

With Didymar leading the way, the Sin King wept, confessed and told all he knew.

But in fact, they are all secret affairs of the Aztec court.

The person who needs to be inquired on this trip is Didymar, a great scholar.

The relationship between the city and the city, the historical origin of the city-state royal family, and the evil things they have done are all told.

In a blink of an eye, the sky came quietly.

And Didymar didn't intend to stop at all, and the sin king had already fallen asleep on the ground.

When Zhou Weiguo couldn't take it anymore, he finally interrupted him, "How much more?"

Didymar cried and laughed, "Every city believes in false gods, and there are great sacrificial ceremonies, and several living sacrifices are held every year. As far as I know, I'm afraid I can't finish talking about several days and nights in a row."

Zhou Weiguo looked down at the densely packed paper he had remembered, and felt terrified and even more angry——

"This is your crime!"

"No wonder the wrath of our lord, the true god, came with divine punishment, and he did not hesitate to send the army of judgment to march!"

With a howl, the boy was awakened.

Didymar lowered his eyebrows. He didn't feel anything when he was in the game. He only knew that this was the way the world should be.

But it was only when they came to Balance that they realized how wrong they were.

"My teacher, the two of us are sincere in our repentance, and we understand that the test of our Lord's salvation is for the supreme mercy!"

"I am willing to bear all the punishments, go through trials, and wash away my sins."

Seeing his sincerity, Zhou Weiguo knew that he had gone too far. He took a deep breath and said, "I can't describe it like this. I have a day off today. Starting tomorrow, we start every morning and end at sunset."

"While describing it, it is also teaching you the profound meaning of the law!"

In the next half month.

The three of them gathered together every day, gradually causing the fruits of sin to pile up, accumulating dozens of books.

When the last day is over.

Only then did Zhou Weiguo realize that this was the result of a crime, but it was also the truth of history.

Although the narration is cruel and inhumane, it is a process of the development of the times.

For example, among the various tribes in the past, which tribe's road to survival was not poured out of the accumulation of bones and blood?

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that our Lord bestowed mercy and gave them the way of salvation, freeing them from the sin of believing in false gods and harming living beings.

9 month.

Before departure, Zhou Weiguo exchanged some fresh fish, sugar milk and brand-new clothes from the supply and marketing cooperative, and came to the prison to say goodbye to the two.

"I will join the army to sharpen and set off in a month."

"At that time, I will not come to visit you anymore, and what I have learned in the past half month has made you improve your language skills, and you can practice the rest of the rules yourself in the future!"

"Wait for your relatives to migrate, and you can teach the profound truths and educate them to have a balanced will. You must not rebel against the true God, but follow Him, serve Him, worship Him wholeheartedly, and send out pious praise and repentance!"

The two were quite moved.

It was Didymar, who was in his thirties and respected the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

The two knelt down and said, "Praise my Lord, praise the balance! May the balance always cover and protect my teacher, defend the country and good ministers!"

After Zhou Weiguo left and went home to reunite with his relatives, he led his disciples and accompanied the Templars and set off for the No. 9 city.

Xiaohua didn't see her off, she looked at it from a distance for a while, then went back to the house and looked at the big atlas——

"Based on time, the presiding judge has led the new army to the 10th area! Start conquering and mopping up the tribes south of the area!"

"Brother Niu Shi led the army to set off at the end of October, and the journey took one and a half months."

"A total of three months is enough to lay the foundation for the main military city of Region 10..."

"At the beginning of Balance 14, the will of Balance will cover the southern land!!"

……

the present.

Zhou Li'an was sitting in the garden on the top floor of the villa on Huishi Island.

Facing the computer video, humbly ask for advice.

And on the other end of the screen is a professor from a certain university in China——

"So, when Zheng He arrived in Malindi, East Africa, we can only rely on calculations, and there is no exact time?"

The old bald professor smiled kindly: "Without the discovery of new historical documents, we can only rely on calculations, but you have to know that ancient navigation followed ocean currents and monsoons."

"Looking at the time when Zheng He's fleet set off and returned several times, you will find that the time points are very consistent. They all set off in the autumn and winter of one year and return in the summer and autumn of the next year."

"The route of Zheng He's fleet is in a significant monsoon area around the world. The subsequent fine-tuning of travel times also proves that the fleet is very familiar with the direction of monsoons and ocean currents."

"So, taking this as an inference, July-September 1414 should be roughly the time of landing in East Africa."

"This is already a very accurate estimate."

"Xiao Zhou, you are so interested in the history of Zheng He's fleet, why don't you come back to China, our society is very grateful for your donation to us, and we all want to meet you."

Xiao Zhou?

Xiao Zhou is also your name?
Zhou Li'an smiled and shied away, and hung up the video.

Then start the map calculation.

If you take off from the easternmost point of Brazil in South America, to Freetown in West Africa, the whole journey is 2900 kilometers.

Then go to the Congo Plateau for 3000 kilometers, stop for refueling, and then go to Malindi, Kenya, which is also 3000 kilometers.

Distance is not a problem, the problem is...

"Meet Zheng He, but have to wait for three months?"

"Besides, the calculation is not necessarily reliable, you may miss it a little later..."
