Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 42 The Wo Kingdom has Gold, and the Eastern Land has God Seeds!
Different from the domineering name, the "Kun Yu Wan Guo Tu" painted by Zhu Su is a bit shabby.The main body is made up of four pieces of rice paper, and because of Zhu Su's painting skills, there are even some dirty ink stains accidentally dripped on it.But these are not harmful to the overall situation. After Zhu Su put the four pieces of rice paper together on the ground, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were stunned.

Zhu Biao couldn't believe it, pointed to the area where "Da Ming" was written on the map, and said in disbelief: "My Daming is only so small?"

"how is this possible!"

"A little bit is too exaggerated. Daming is still very big." Zhu Su said. "It's just that this world is bigger than you imagined, brother."

"This Cochin and Siam are not big enough." Lao Zhu looked at the two countries in the south of Ming Dynasty, with a somewhat tangled look. "Although it's barely enough, I can grow some food..."

"But... why can grain be grown in Jiaozhi, but not in Lingnan?" Zhu Biao was still puzzled.

"Brother, the weather is not just divided according to the north and south." Zhu Su explained. "This involves subjects such as 'geography'..."

"Geography? What's the content? Tell me." Zhu Biao was even more puzzled.

"Geography is... uh. You don't understand even if you say it." Zhu Su thought for a while, how could a few words sum up an advanced subject, so he simply gave up and explained to Zhu Biao from another direction: " Brother, we said before that during the Little Ice Age, the weather would go from north to south, getting colder and colder, right?"

"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded. "What does that have to do with Lingnan?"

"Brother. Have you ever thought about it? It gets hotter as you go south, and the climate in the Little Ice Age has generally declined."

"According to this trend, Lingnan, which seems a bit overheated at this time, won't be..."

"Ah!" Zhu Biao woke up like a dream, and Lao Zhu also looked excited: "Old Wu, you mean, these lands in the south of our Ming Dynasty can become like Jiangnan, and all of them can be planted with food?"

"Uh, that's what it means." Zhu Su nodded.My heart said that anyway, I should dispel Lao Zhu's idea of ​​closing the door to himself first, so let's take it as such.

"This is called Dayue, can it be farmed?"

"can!"

"Bo Yi, what is this, can also be planted?"

"can!"

"Then India...India?"

"It's so famous, it's so vicious...how is this place?" Lao Zhu asked, pointing to a place on the map.

"Oh, this place is Tianzhu mentioned in the book!" Khan, the third brother's land boundary was accidentally mixed up. "It's hot all year round and there's plenty of sunshine..."

"Why so much nonsense, you just say whether you can farm the land or it's over?"

"Yes! And the grown vegetables are bigger!" Zhu Su made a "big" gesture.

"Okay, okay!" Lao Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at a large piece of land outside Daming on the map. "It seems that it's not time for Tiande and the others to rest."

"This large area of ​​good places must belong to our Daming!"

Even Zhu Biao, who just thought that "warrior will die", swallowed his saliva, and seriously began to think about whether he wanted to support his father's militarism.

"Father, don't keep looking at the south, look at this side." Zhu Su's voice was like a seductive and depraved demon, drawing Lao Zhu's sight to a crooked island country in the east. "Here, this place is rich in gold and silver mines. Thieves are rich!"

"Father, don't you think about it?"

"Money?" Old Zhu's eyes lit up.Money is good, money is as good as food.With food in hand, don't panic.If you have money in your hands, others will panic!Wasn't the reason why I took Zhang Shicheng as a serious worry back then because he was rich?

But, isn't that place Wa country?Meng Yuan tried to fight a few times, but all failed...

After all, across the sea...

"Father." Zhu Su continued to whisper in Old Zhu's ear. "Have you ever thought that if our Daming harvests so much land, we will not be able to plant it in a short time! For example, Tianzhu, although their land is fat, but people are very lazy! They won't even move with a whip."

"But the Japanese people are good! They had a lot of contact with the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty, and their ancestors have been used to farming for generations."

"It couldn't be more appropriate to ask them to farm for Daming..."

"Oh?" Old Zhu looked at Zhu Su. "But they are separated by the sea after all. How inconvenient it is to travel by sea..."

"Then build a navy and vigorously develop maritime affairs!" Zhu Su showed his fox tail.

"Develop maritime affairs vigorously?" Lao Zhu was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and then shook his head.

"The storms and waves on the sea are frequent and unpredictable. In the past, when Meng Yuan set off to conquer the Japanese kingdom, he was blocked by a typhoon. The army had not yet fought, and [-]% of them went directly to [-]%."

"It's nothing more than those countries in the south. Although they have teeth, they may still have a chance to swallow them if they plan carefully. But if there is a mistake in the expedition across the sea, we will have to use all the money and food for the development of maritime affairs and the army to go to the expedition. Like Meng Yuan, it’s all gone in vain!”

Old Zhu's reaction was within Zhu Su's expectation.Zhu Yuanzhang had always looked down on the sea, if not, he would not have left behind the ancestral motto of "sea ban" which has been criticized forever.

Seeing that the Japanese country could not lure Lao Zhu, Zhu Su decisively threw out his trump card: "Father, the development of maritime affairs is not just for the Japanese country."

"Look here..."

"Huh? Where is this place?" Following Zhu Su's finger, Zhu Yuanzhang looked further east, to the other side across the ocean.

"Well, this place is quite big, even bigger than our Daming. Why, this place can also be used for farming?" Old Zhu asked.

"Seeds can definitely be planted. But the most important thing is that there is a kind of 'God Seed'!" Zhu Su said deliberately mysteriously.

"God seed?" Old Zhu frowned. "Hmph, how amazing can you be?"

"The yield per mu is [-], isn't it amazing?" Zhu Su said.

"What!" Old Zhu stood up violently, taking the chair flying.The chair happened to fall on the American area on the map, and the thin rice paper was crushed.

"What did you say? How much?"

"One thousand and eight, just a little more!" Zhu Su said with a chuckle.It is not a problem to produce three to five thousand catties of potatoes in later generations, even if the variety is not as good as later generations, it should be possible to produce one thousand or eight, right?
"Also, there is a lot of gold in that area." Zhu Su continued. "The most important thing is that this place is vast and sparsely populated. At this time, only a few extremely backward tribes exist. They are like savages, almost no land. This is the land given to me by God. Take the blame, Dad!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu's face was flushed, he seemed quite moved.Zhu Su added to the fire: "Although there is no owner of this large piece of land now, it will be discovered by Western countries in a few years."

"This 'God Seed' was obtained by the West, and after the fall of my Ming Dynasty, it was passed on to the court of the Tartars."

"It is because of this 'divine seed' that the Tartars have gained a firm foothold in the aftermath of the Little Ice Age!" Zhu Su tried his best to fan the flames.

"Ah!" Lao Zhu exclaimed, his face full of anger. "You said, this 'God Seed' was finally obtained by the Tartars?"

"That's not right!" Zhu Su continued. "More than that, the western countries have obtained innumerable benefits from this continent!"

"In the future, a big country will rise here, and it will become a confidant of our Chinese people!"

"There is such a thing!" Lao Zhu had to pay attention to it.He quickly lifted the chair up and looked at the place crushed by the fallen chair with distress, as if he was afraid that America would fly away because of it.

"Westerners can cross, and our Ming Dynasty is closer, so of course Daming can do it too!"

"From this point of view, it is urgent for our Ming Dynasty to prepare for the sea and travel across the ocean!"
