Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 398: The Kingdom of Tao and the Kingdom of Wu: Dancing with the God of Death, a continent full of poisons

The King of Song soon became dissatisfied with firing porcelain.

Making modern handicrafts can at most seize the Ming porcelain market, but many vassal states may not recognize the porcelain of the Song Dynasty. Maybe the Ming Dynasty will know about it, and the Song Dynasty will have problems.

The King of Song Dynasty began to study the antique porcelain market.

Make porcelain distressed, aged, and imitate antiques.

The Song Dynasty dug many porcelain-making talents from the Ming Dynasty and recruited a group of counterfeiting masters, especially those from Nanyang, Henan.

In the past two years, a large number of imitations have appeared in the global antique porcelain market.

There are also many imitations in China.

But only the Song Dynasty could imitate porcelain to the point where it looked like the real thing.

A Song Dynasty porcelain vase displayed in the National Palace Museum was made by the Yanjing Porcelain Capital. It is a fake. It was hid from all experts and was openly displayed in the museum.

The first few are Taizu, Taizong, Renzong and Xuanzong.

What works first and what works next.

The King of Song loved antiques, and Yanjing was full of antique stalls.

Therefore, Zhu Youxu did not stay in the Siyi Pavilion of Song Dynasty, but lived in the diplomatic embassy.

The Song State has a vast territory and is located above the equator. It has a constant temperature of about 25 degrees all year round. It has a livable climate and thousands of miles of fertile soil.

The biggest impression that the entire Song Dynasty gave Zhu Youxuan was that the whole country revolved around the King of Song. The King of Chu had such a slim waist and many palaces starved to death. This was the case in the Song Dynasty.

When King Song first succeeded to the vassal, the land here was very ordinary and almost uninhabitable and unviable.

This is a small vassal state from the east clan complaining to the old emperor, otherwise his father would not scold him.

Song officials did not pay much attention to people's livelihood.

Beginning in the 50th year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty implemented the system of resident embassies. Honglu Temple had branches in various countries, and Ming officials were stationed in vassal states for a long time.

The island area is a little larger than Borneo, one and a half as big as Sichuan.

Anyway, King Song lived a comfortable life. He had more than a hundred concubines in his three palaces and six courtyards, which was the second most among the vassal kings after King Gu.

A single big island, an independent country.

It was only after thirty years of management that the land of garbage was turned into fertile land, and the uninhabitable environment was turned into a wealthy country.

After hovering for a few days.

Zhu Youjue's mission to the Song Dynasty was an official visit between countries. It was different from the mission of Zhu Youque's brothers. The latter's mission was more about personal friendship. This mission was a formal diplomacy.

The King of Song Dynasty was frail since childhood and developed a paranoid and unruly personality. He had a normal relationship with many of his brothers. His grandfather Chen Xianzhang came to the palace many times to teach him, but he just agreed and didn't listen at all. The old man was so angry that he beat him frequently. , he still doesn’t hold a grudge.

The King of Song was asked to abide by the rules and not light fires everywhere. He was asked to cultivate internal affairs and pay attention to people's livelihood.

The old emperor issued a formal edict to the King of Song.

But they are flooded in the antique market in large quantities.

Zhu Youzong hesitated again and again, but still went to the appointment.

I don’t know how many collectors have suffered from the imitation porcelain of the Song Dynasty.

Song porcelain was rarely exported.

The only disadvantage is that it is easy to become lazy because it is not close to anyone. Forget about fighting for hegemony. There are no natural enemies.

The King of Song was completely bullshit.

In the 62nd year of Jingtai, the King of Song Dynasty published a set of novels called Antique Bureau Middle Game, which openly described counterfeiting techniques. This book was also praised by the old emperor.

After the death of Emperor Jingtai, a message will be sent to all the countries. On a good and auspicious day, the princes will bring Emperor Jingtai's tablet to the Ancestral Temple for worship from generation to generation.

This is unknown.

Diplomatic officials from the vassal states were also stationed in Daming all year round.

He was taken to a separate courtyard by his servants.

I don’t know if it was the King of Song’s order or if some officials deceived the superiors and concealed it.

The geopolitics of the Song Dynasty was very advantageous.

There is an empty seat in the princes' temple.

There were no scoldings in the newspapers, presumably because public opinion was being controlled.

That empty seat was reserved for Emperor Jingtai.

No one in the world has discovered that the place where porcelain was counterfeited was the Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, he would not have stolen the Ming Dynasty's porcelain formula and still made imitations, disrupting the world antique market.

But he doesn't like to build museums and let people from all over the world come to visit. He likes to have fun alone.

Zhu Youzhu, the third son of the Song Dynasty king, secretly gave Zhu Youzhu a note and asked him to meet him at midnight.

Zhu Youzong didn't dare to persuade him, and he knew at a glance that Uncle Wang didn't dare to provoke him.

As a descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Youju wanted to choose an auspicious time to visit the princes' temples and worship his ancestors.

The Song Dynasty had high-rise buildings and gardens, as well as courtyard houses and small bungalows. Land management was not very strict, because the Song Dynasty had a lot of land and a large area of ​​rainforest area waiting to be developed.

Experts from the Ming Dynasty estimated that the maximum population of the Song Dynasty was 3 million. Anyway, 2 million people would be no problem.

The king of Song Dynasty only cared about his own preferences and did not care about the people's livelihood.

"Brother, please save me!" Zhu Youzhu knelt on the ground when he saw Zhu Youzhu.

King Zhu Jianyi of the Song Dynasty had nine sons. The eldest son died of illness in the 57th year of Jingtai, leaving no heirs. Logically speaking, it was the second son's turn to inherit the throne.

However, the King of Song did not like his second son.

Zhu Youzhu's mother-in-law wanted her son to succeed to the throne, and began to compete with her second son.

The drama of winning the direct lineage is very exciting.

As a result, the second child hit the bottom of the cauldron and almost killed Zhu Youshu.

Recently, rumors spread in Yanjing that Zhu Youzhu was not the King of Song's biological son. The rumors spread so well that the King of Song also began to hesitate.

Because his mother-in-law had indeed married before marrying the King of Song.

After marrying the Queen of Song Dynasty, she gave birth to her son Zhu Youzhu nine months later, so Zhu Youzhu's identity is very doubtful.

This happened when I was in Beijing.

In the past, when the heir was not taken away, no one found out, which made Prince Xiaoyao feel uncomfortable.

But now that Zhu Youzhen was involved in the heir apparent, old matters were brought up again, and he was pushed to the forefront.

The problem is that Zhu Jianyi doesn't like this son.

It's not that he doesn't like the second child, but he hates the second child, otherwise Zhu Youzhu wouldn't have thought of seizing the legitimate son.

The King of Song likes Lao Jiu, but it is impossible for Lao Jiu to surpass his seven brothers and ascend to the throne.

"Brother Zhe, I am on a business trip for my brother, so I can't take care of the affairs of the Song Dynasty." Zhu Youjue regretted wading into the muddy water.

"Brother, please return to the capital and report to Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang must have a way to prove my identity!"

Zhu Youzhu kowtowed and said: "As long as my brother helps me, after my brother succeeds to the throne, I am willing to set aside a piece of land in the Song Dynasty and give it to my brother to express my gratitude for my brother's help."

and many more!

Zhu Youzong understood that he wanted him to help win the heir.

"The land of our country, Song, is rich and fertile. Wherever my brother wants, he only needs to place his hand around it. My brother is willing to give it to me with both hands."

Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother, I don't know, but I have already participated in the fight for the heir. Even if I quit midway, I will die when my father is gone!"

"Brother, please help me, you can make whatever conditions you want!"

Zhu Youzhu is the third child, so he is willing to invest.

Zhu Youzhu was the second eldest son. Although he was a concubine, he was older than Zhu Youzhu, so he should succeed.

Moreover, the King of Song only had one legitimate son, and the other eight sons were all concubines, and the concubines competed fairly.

If it is an internal vassal king, a decree from the central government can determine who is the heir. But for an external vassal king, the power of a country is involved, and the imperial edict from the central government is probably of little use.

But Zhu Youxuan was the prince's son and could see the old emperor often.

The only one who could change King Song's mind was the old man.

Despite Zhu Jianyi's stubbornness and paranoia, he was extremely filial to his mother. When his mother died of illness, she cried her heart out in his palace. From then on, he paid tribute to the old emperor's body almost every month.

Therefore, when Zhu Youzhu approached Zhu Youzhu to cooperate, he hoped that Zhu Youxu could put in a good word for him in front of the old man.

Zhu Youzong was also looking for a foreign fiefdom, and the two hit it off.

Little did he know that Zhu Youzong's every move in the Song Dynasty was being monitored, and he had already been delivered into the hands of the King of Song.

"The fourth son of the prince's family is also restless and wants to seek a fiefdom in our country of Song, haha."

Zhu Jianyi sneered twice.

He has always looked down upon the boss.

When he was a child, he had the best relationship with Lao Qi. They were both members of the fourth master's party. He looked down on the boss's picky and fussy way.

Nowadays, looking at the prince's governance, he is far different from his father, which shows that this is his nature.

Let’s look at Feng Sheng Shui Qi, the king of Shang, who makes judgments.

"Your Majesty, you have colluded with outsiders to plot the throne of the crown prince, and you are not willing to sacrifice your own capital. If the throne is passed on to this person, how will the Song Dynasty be stable?" An old woman in cloth sat across the table with a sinister tone.

She is the queen of Song Dynasty and the daughter of Li Jin.

She was the daughter-in-law chosen by the old emperor himself.

She gave birth to the King of Song's eldest son, who was considered a virtuous and well-known man. Unfortunately, the eldest son died unexpectedly when he was thirty, leaving only four daughters and no sons.

This was the pain of her life. The good son she had trained so carefully was gone. She didn't even have a queen, and the throne was about to fall by the wayside.

Zhu Jianyi looked sinister.

Zhu Youzhu's mother was robbed by him through clever means. At that time, seeing that the woman looked lovely, he snatched her away and killed her husband's family.

The old emperor punished him by kneeling for three days and three nights. If his mother hadn't knelt with him, the old emperor would never have forgiven him.

At that time, his mother, Concubine Chen, had just given birth to her third son, King Yu Zhu Jianwo, and she knelt with him, which caused massive postpartum hemorrhage and ultimately caused his mother's early death.

This was a thorn in his heart.

To this day, he writes letters to his brothers Zhu Jianjin, King of Dai, and Zhu Jianwo, King of Yu, but they never reply, apparently hating him.

He wrote a letter of greetings every month, and the old emperor would never reply.

What happened back then is not over yet.

When the eldest son was alive, he didn't care about Zhu Youzhu's identity. He had hundreds of women in his three palaces and six courtyards, and he had long forgotten about this one.

However, when the eldest son passed away and his sons took over the throne, Zhu Youzhen's mother-in-law actually made trouble and wanted to get the throne of the Song Dynasty prince. The thorn appeared again.

"Gu is unfilial as a son, and fails to educate his son well as a father. Gu has really failed in his life."

Just as Queen Li was about to say something, Zhu Jianyi waved her hand: "Gu Xin knows it."

"The prince has been appointed, and the country is stable. It's time for you to take another step forward." With Queen Li's son gone, the palace has no support.

She actually wanted the second child to be adopted by her, so that she would be both a legitimate mother and a biological mother, and her power would not diminish.

Originally, the best partner was the third child, Zhu Youzhu.

But Zhu Youzhu's identity made her also suspect that a person with impure blood was destined not to be a king, and he would not be able to pass the test of the Ming Dynasty.

Then kill the second child's mother, and she will be justified.

Her father is still alive, and the mother clan's power can still be used.

"What did you say?" Zhu Jianyi looked at her with a faint look.

Pfft!
Queen Li was still imagining the future, when suddenly a ray of light stabbed her back, and she knelt on the ground in fright: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake."

"My father is still here, and Gu Yong will be the emperor."

Zhu Jianyi said seriously: "As long as my father is alive, there will be only one emperor in the world. Whoever dares to call himself emperor will be the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty! He is also the common enemy of all vassal states!"

"There can only be one emperor in this world, the only emperor! It's my father!"

"No one else is worthy!"

"Remember, no one is allowed to curse my father!"

"Get out!"

Zhu Jianyi looked disgusting. He suddenly came over and pinched Queen Li's neck, staring at her: "Did you hear that?"

"I know the crime, I know the crime!" Queen Li also realized that she had said the wrong thing. Although it was a normal conversation, it was somewhat like cursing the old emperor.

"Go away!" Zhu Jianyi let go of his hand and let her fall to the ground.

Then he rolled out and crawled out.

Zhu Jianyi's face was ferocious: "If it weren't for the sake of your father still being alive, you should go down and accompany my son!"

"I'm sorry for my mother, I can't make my father unhappy!"

"I am unfilial, so my eldest son will die early. This is retribution!"

"I have to bear it!"

"Come in!"

"Send two people to show the fourth son of the prince's family what color he has."

That night, Zhu Youzong was assassinated.

It scared him so much that he didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, when he went to the Forbidden City of Yanjing to ask for an explanation, he found Zhu Youzhen kneeling at the entrance of the palace. His heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and was about to go back, but was stopped by the eunuch.

Zhu You was sitting on pins and needles waiting for King Song to come to court.

He regretted more and more.

He had been cautious before, knowing that King Song was difficult to deal with, but he was deceived by Zhu Youzhu. He also wanted to fief the land and went crazy.

Only the princes of the outer vassals of the Ming Dynasty had titles, while Zhu Youzong didn't have any titles at all.

He is just a county king, a county king without a title.

He is not even as good as a marquis in the capital.

King Song arrived late. Seeing his nervous look, he laughed loudly and said, "I've kept my nephew waiting for a long time. Let's hold a banquet quickly. Let me and my fourth nephew have a good meal."

Zhu Youxuan knew that he had been played by King Song.

Resentment in my heart.

During the dinner, the King of Song was very disrespectful to the prince. He opened his mouth and shut up the boss. He didn't call him brother or prince. As the prince's son, he was on pins and needles.

"Fourth nephew, when you return to the capital, you will pass by Song Dynasty and ask the third child to follow you to the capital."

The King of Song poured him a glass of wine: "Uncle, let me tell you the truth. I miss your mother. When my mother was seriously ill, I did not fulfill my filial piety at the bedside. This has always been a regret in my heart."

"This time I let the third child come to Beijing to serve my father and pay homage to my mother."

"Only the eldest branch of the family in Beijing serves your grandfather. Uncle is worried, so he asked my son to serve the old man as well. He will fulfill his filial piety and make uncle feel better."

Zhu Youzhu thumped, and Zhu Youzhen was no longer destined to be the emperor.

Going to the capital to serve the old emperor is just a disguised form of distribution.

In the name of filial piety, no one can find fault.

Zhu You's dream of becoming a feudal country was shattered. He actually got drunk during the dinner.

"It's a solid eye."

"With this IQ, unless my father forces him to seal a piece of land."

"With his little thoughts, he will never get a fief in this life." Zhu Jianyi sneered twice.

Zhu Youxuan set off.

The next step is to go to Chengguo, take St. Paul, and directly arrive at the tip of Northeast Australia, Yinjinnuo.

St. Paul Island belongs to Chengguo.

In Chengguo, this island was called Wuwang Island to commemorate the first king of Chengguo, Ji Wu.

Next to Wuwang Island, there are small islands dotted here and there. There are disputes over these small islands. Both Cheng and Song claim them as their own.

Yin Jinnuo is the name of the first soldier who discovered this place.

After King Cheng succeeded to the vassal, his ministers persuaded him to change the name, but King Cheng ignored all opinions and continued to use the soldier's name, and even erected a monument to commemorate him.

Yijinnuo is an important military town in the north of Chengguo.

There are 20 navy and marines of the Cheng Kingdom gathered here. There are 20 largest treasure ships and three fleets. They are mainly used to intimidate the Song Dynasty.

In the past two years, King Cheng has been asking the central government to change the name of the country to Yi, and use the country of Yi instead of Cheng.

This time, Zhu Youzong brought an edict to change the country's name.

It wasn't given before because King Xi was Zhu Qiyu's former kingly title. He was given the title to Zhu Jianyu because he was worried that the prince would think too much about it.

After all, Zhu Jianyu was the third child, the same age as the eldest son, and they were only twins, so they were disqualified from inheriting the throne.

Now he can be named the King of Yin, and it will be a matter of course.

Australia is not a place of choice at all.

The desert here accounts for up to 40%, the desert accounts for 20%, there are countless mountains, plateaus, and the remaining flat plains are all in the central region.

Moreover, there is drought and little rain, and this is a country that is short of water.

Countries that are short of water in Europe and Asia can solve the problem by diverting water. This is a big island. Where can we divert the water?

Zhu Jianyu, the king of Tao, had exclusive access to the Cape York Peninsula, and shared the Gulf of Carpentaria with Zhu Jiansong, the king of Zhou. Each country occupied a peninsula.

It is divided from Wu State by desert. The two countries share the Australian Basin, which is the central plain, and each country has half of it.

The best part of Australia is the Central Plains.

The states of Yi and Wu each enjoyed half.

The bitter Zhou Kingdom monopolizes Western Australia, which is actually a vast desert. Except for the coastal areas, it is an endless desert.

In order to balance the suffering of Zhou State, the old emperor assigned all the Australian Gulf region to Zhou State.

The state of Zhou and Wu were divided by Spencer Bay.

The entire Australia Bay belongs to the Zhou State, and the cultivated land along the coast is an important part of the fragmented small plains of the Zhou State.

But for Wu Guo, it was dispensable.

Among them, Wu State has the smallest territory, more than one million square kilometers, but has the largest population in Australia, with a population of 2.4 million.

Because Wu State owns half of the central plain, plus the two river plains, its grain output not only supplies itself, but also exports to Zhou and He.

However, the reclamation of central Australia is not yet complete.

Botanists believe the Australian rainforest is the lungs of the earth and should not be severely damaged for planting.

At first, Wu State listened and really did not cut down the rainforest excessively.

But does the state of Xi care about that?

If you don’t even have enough to eat, why should you care about the earth’s ecology? Whoever wants to care about it has nothing to do with me.

After the Nin Kingdom occupied Northeast Ao, the area of ​​cultivated land soared and increased year by year, which confused the Wu Kingdom.

The country of Tao was the first of the three Australian countries to have a population of more than 1.7 million. As of the th year of Jingtai, the population of the country of Tao had exceeded million.

Then Wu State also began to reclaim the rainforest.

Pieces of farmland were born in the central plains, plantations sprung up after rain, and Australia's population soared. The capital of the country of Xi was located in Mount Isa, which was a completely inland city. This place was named Xianyang and its capital was established here because it was rich in gold and the capital was built on gold mines.

The reason why I chose this place is that it is close to the desert, with an oasis to the north and a desert to the south. There are rivers passing through it. Through the desert, you can reach the central plain, which is close to the grain production areas.

Especially after the train is built, it will only take one day for the train to deliver grain from the central grain-producing areas to Xiangyang.

The capital of Zhou State was established here. If Zhou wanted to attack, it would have to pass through a huge desert area. To attack from the sea, it would have to face the fleet of the State of Nian first. As for the State of Wu, it would also have to go through the desert to reach the capital, which was absolutely safe.

The two deserts in the east and west blocked the army. It seemed that there were no mountains to block it, but no one could conquer the capital of the country of Yi. As long as the country of Yi did not attack other countries, the country of Zuo of the country of Yi would never be destroyed.

But Xianyang also has a huge disadvantage: not enough drinking water.

More than 2200 years after its establishment as the capital, Xianyang has become an international metropolis with a permanent population of million, which is the same as the population of Yanjing.

Especially in the past few years, Nagyang has developed industry, and the siphon effect has attracted a large number of migrant workers. As a result, Nagyang, which is already short of water, is directly facing the depletion of water sources.

King Tao did not plan to move the capital, so he had to find a way to divert water to alleviate the problem of water resource depletion.

The Kingdom of Wu was rich in water resources, and King Tan hoped to divert water from the Kingdom of Wu.

In fact, Zhou State also wanted to divert water from Wu State, but it had to pass through eleven deserts before it could reach Zhou State, which was impossible.

Coupled with Australia's rapid population growth, the natural environment has been severely damaged, further causing soil erosion.

According to expert estimates, Australia's maximum population carrying capacity is 3 million.

Now it is well beyond the red line and the population is still increasing.

The food was sufficient, but the water was far from enough.

In the final analysis, the altitude of the Australian plateau is too low to form glaciers, and it is destined that no big rivers will be born.

Therefore, in the 55th year of Jingtai, the three kingdoms of Zhou, Wu and Han held talks to create artificial plateaus and rivers to solve the serious drought problem between Zhou and Han.

Wu Wang Zhu Jianhu expressed his objection, but the objection was invalid.

In the fifty-ninth year of Jingtai, Zhou and Yi launched an artificial plateau project. Zhou chose to artificially raise this low plateau in the western plateau area, while Yi chose the Great Dividing Range.

These two places were chosen to guard against each other. They were worried that they would create a plateau and provide water to each other, so they were separated, one to the east and one to the west, with no one next to the other.

This resolution was approved by the old emperor.

Construction started in the 60th year of Jingtai.

Zhu Youxuan read out the imperial edict to change the country's name in Xianyang. From that day on, Chengguo officially changed its name to Xiangguo, which was announced to the world.

The industry of the country of Ning was very good. After the Ming Dynasty built two railways, the country of Ning began to build its own railways.

The railway in the country of Ning ran through several deserts within the territory and was built along the Great Dividing Range to connect the coastal areas with the capital.

In the past few years, the economic center of the country was on the northern peninsula.

With the feud with the Song Dynasty, the center of gravity gradually shifted to the eastern coastal areas. Before there was a railway, King Tan was unwilling to invest in the construction of a good port because the Great Divide stood in the middle, cutting off the distance between the capital and the city.

Therefore, King Tan has been unwilling to invest in construction, but instead built around the capital.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty railway technology was shared with the vassal states that the Tao Kingdom began to build coastal areas and transfer its population to coastal areas, transforming it from an agricultural country to an industrial country.

King Tan's succession to Australia was nothing more than a race to occupy the land. The natives were easily defeated. The local natives were all savages and soon disappeared.

But it took thirty years to overcome the natural environment.

The creatures here have no natural enemies.

Spiders can grow as big as a human hand and are full of poison.

Like the first soldier who landed in Australia, he was bitten by a poisonous spider and died.

After landing here, you are always faced with attacks from crocodiles and poisonous animals.

Those beaches, before Mingren landed, were the habitat of crocodiles. There were not just one or two crocodiles, but tens of millions of them, all of which were highly venomous crocodiles.

It took thirty years to clean up all the beaches!

And on the shore, those poisons that have disappeared all over the world, poisonous flowers, poisonous insects, fish, and animals are everywhere.

In the first thirty years, the five kingdoms of Zhou, Wu, Tan, Song and Zheng were all fighting against indigenous poisons.

Australia before the discovery of Ming Dynasty was a raw land.

It took the Five Kings thirty years to remove every poisonous substance from the continent and kill all the overpopulated species, before this land began to become livable.

Such as red-headed mouse spider, Sydney funnel-web spider, Australian redback spider, jack jumping ant, burrowing bearded ant, Irukandji jellyfish, Australian box jellyfish, ground cone snail, blue-ringed octopus, poisonous stingray, short-tailed stingray, Platypus, inland taipan, coastal taipan, eastern cobra, tiger snake, southern spiny snake, hook-nosed sea snake, brown Io snake, amethyst python, bay crocodile, dingo, cane toad, red kangaroo, toothy Sharks, bull sharks, great white sharks, eye-spotted monitor lizards, Tasmanian devils, cassowaries, etc. Poisons from all over the world seem to be gathered here.

If you are not careful, one person will be gone.

In the thirty years of fighting against poisonous creatures, a total of 172 million people died in the five countries!

It is the contribution of these 172 million people that makes this continent livable.

In order to cultivate farmland, the Ming Dynasty destroyed tens of thousands of acres of tropical rainforest, and as many as 30 people died in the tropical rainforest.

Because the rain forest is full of poison, and one bite can kill you.

Now it looks like this continent looks a bit like it is home to more than 400 million people, all of which were acquired with the lives of our ancestors.

More people died in this ghost place than when the Ming Dynasty destroyed India.

But every day there is news about poisons hurting people, and every day there is news about death.

Folks are no longer surprised.

The pesticides produced by the country of Ning are number one in the world, and the medicines used to treat trauma in the country of Ning are number one in the world.

This is all in exchange for life.

Since the 55th year of Jingtai, the State of Ning has used pesticides every year in cities and rural areas across the country.

All residents were given guns to encourage them to hunt animals, and the court gave different rewards to different animals.

For example, all the twelve or thirteen-year-old children in the country of Ning can use guns.

After class, they go hunting.

Hunting is the most important thing in the country, ranking before education.

In the past few years, there were many rewards, which caused the people to go hunting instead of farming, leading to food shortages.

In recent years, rewards have been continuously lowered, which cannot mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.

Folk poisons, animals, birds, and fish are overrun.

But King Xi was very worried.

In the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the old emperor sent a secret letter to King Yi, which solved King Yi's big problem.

eat!
Develop the food industry.

Make the meat very delicious and let the people catch it and eat it. If the people of your country can't finish it, let everyone in the world eat it!
Build the country into a country of gourmet food.

Attract tourists from all over the world to travel to the country, and help the country eat these things!
Looking at future generations, crayfish are overflowing in the world, but only in China. There are not enough crayfish to eat, so how can they be overrun?

In China, there are no widespread species.

If so, eat him.

Make the food delicious and feed him any species to eliminate him.

No species can escape the stomach of the Chinese people.

But how can we make something delicious?

Technology!
What is chemistry for? Studying and eating.

The country of Tao set up a laboratory and began to study hard work.

Soon, various private food stores opened.

Then the food exploded!
All kinds of poisons appear on people's dining tables, and nothing can stop people from eating them to death.

Fifty-six years after Jingtai, the poisonous animals and fish in Australia have disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the 60th year of Jingtai's reign, the State of Tao took over the most polluting enterprise in the Ming Dynasty.

Discharge industrial wastewater into the sea.

Dead fish float offshore every day.

As this was not enough, the Tao Kingdom also sprayed poison into the coastal waters, causing fish to die in droves.

After targeting fish, start targeting birds.

Encouraging hunting is not enough.

Biologists studied what kinds of food birds eat, and the country of Nin poisoned these foods, causing large numbers of birds to die.

This kind of news was reported all over the world and directly aroused the anger of scientists around the world, claiming that the country of Tao was destroying the earth.

Even the country of Wu next door can’t stand it anymore.

Why do you kill fish and birds that are harmless and eat them slowly? Why are you doing such a stupid thing? It has also polluted our country’s oceans!

But King Yin scolded King Wu, and you did the same thing, why didn't you dare to say it?

In the sixty-second year of Jingtai, the state of Wu and the state of Xi went to court, and the two countries were at loggerheads.

The country of Tao has turned a country of good food into a country of demons. How can anyone hunt wild animals like this? This is completely destroying the natural environment.

Like Daming, these animals are protected and are not allowed to be killed.

As long as the country of Yi is open to food, the Ming Dynasty will soon capture the country of Yi. By then, the tourists will come and there will be no food.

But the country of Xi was on the good side, killing innocent creatures and attracting the same hatred from the international community.

Even the old emperor was angry and even said that King Xin was violent.

King Tan was wronged.

It can indeed be eaten up, but if the country of Xi wants to develop and does not expand into the rainforest, there will not be enough arable land. What will it eat with such a large population?

How can we develop coastal cities without cleaning up the coastal waters?

Crocodiles are everywhere. Who knows what poisonous fish there are in the sea? It would be better to go extinct directly.

Like the cassowary in the sky that specifically attacks humans.

How can people live without destroying them?

The problem is that this method of spreading poison has been used by the Tao Kingdom for more than thirty years.

It's just that it wasn't widely reported by the outside world.

For example, cities in the country of He must be poisoned once a year. How many creatures are killed by the poison?

In this incident, the Wu State took advantage of the Ning State to occupy the moral high ground and artificially created a hot spot.

That's right, Wu State took advantage of this east wind to attract a large number of tourists to Wu State to enjoy delicious food, and Wu State became the world's gourmet capital.

King Yin has really become the executioner, and there is no way to develop tourism. Tourists are afraid of being poisoned by King Yin.

Zhu Youzong felt that the food was no longer delicious even in the country of Ning.

Here, he tasted flavors not found in other countries.

It tastes delicious, but I always feel pain in my back.

It seems that uric acid is also high.

Zhu Youxuan hovered in the country of Yi for several days. The entire population of the country of Yi was Ming people, and the natives had long since disappeared, not a single one.

White women can occasionally be seen on the street.

The country of Tao likes women with white skin, so white women are very popular here.

Pure white looks are too sharp, and they don't like them very much. They like mixed-race people with whiter complexions, and such people are easy to marry in the Ming Dynasty, and they rarely get married here.

On the contrary, many women in Europe were resold here.

In the past two years, there were the most Ottoman women, and they were sold all over the world. Many of them were taken in here, and wealthy people took Ottoman women as concubines.

Along with these women, came the Islamic religion and the Christian religion.

King Tan is a Buddhist.

His mother believed in Buddhism when she was a concubine. He did not dare to believe in other sects behind her mother's back. Like many vassals, they believed in all five religions. He was different. He only believed in Buddhism.

This resulted in the country being full of temples.

There are very few other sects.

Like him is Zhou Guo. After all, they are twin brothers.

Zhu Qiyu's sons are all very filial.

After all, no one trained in traditional Confucianism is unfilial.

Two years ago, King Tan issued an imperial edict requiring all Bai Nu to convert to Buddhism. As soon as this edict was conveyed, it was refuted by the cabinet.

King Tan was even angry with the cabinet because of this.

In the Ning Kingdom, land was privately owned. In order to encourage immigration, the old emperor's policy was basically private land ownership in the vassal states except the Ming Dynasty.

In recent years, the population has increased. In order to ensure food supply, the country of Ning has completely eradicated the few remaining rainforests in the country and turned them all into cultivated land.

All roads will be paved with asphalt to ensure that every village has one road and every city has multiple roads.

The country has gold mines, iron mines, bauxite mines, coal mines, lead-zinc mines, and uranium mines, but no oil mines.

Oil must be purchased from Zhou State.

They had previously made purchases with the State of Wu. As the two countries went to court, the State of Ning completely cut off trade with the State of Wu and purchased all goods from the State of Zhou.

Nanyang was built on the gold mine.

The old emperor owns 20% of this gold mine.

The country of Tan is very eager for oil. This is the most important link in the development of heavy industry. All the five countries have it, but the country of Tan does not.

King Tan wanted to get the oil mines of Wu State.

But Wu State's oil mines are on the sea, on a small island near the capital. Heavy troops are deployed there. Unless Wu State can be destroyed, Wu State's oil deposits will not be obtained.

Don’t even think about destroying the Zhou Kingdom.

Zhou's strategic depth is too terrible. The desert seems useless. But when it comes to war, you will find that the desert is the best barrier.

Therefore, Zhou State never worried about being invaded.

The problem is that oil is the industrial blood of a country. Without oil, the country of Ning cannot dominate, and it is not even as good as the country of Wu.

When the old emperor divided Oceania among the five kings, he called this place the land of Zhou, which just showed that the overlord was Zhou.

But Zhou was dying of thirst, so the overlord had not yet appeared.

On the contrary, the wealthy Wu State is almost the dominant country here.

After Zhu Youxuan stayed in the country of Yi for ten days, he left the country.

There is no land transportation from the State of Yi to the State of Wu. The railway tracks in the two countries are not connected, so you can only go to the State of Wu by ship.

Wu State has a population of 2.4 million. In terms of population size, Wu State is the dominant country in Oceania.

Even though the territory is small, it is still a wealthy land.

Wu State has Australia's two most abundant rivers, the Murray River and the Darling River.

The State of Wu established its capital in Melbourne, called Jinling.

At first, the State of Wu established its capital in Sydney, because Sydney had the Darling River flowing through it and entering the sea. It was also a natural harbor and had the capital to build a capital. Sydney was called Meili, which was the name of the ancient capital of the State of Wu.

But in the fiftieth year of Jingtai, the capital was moved to Jinling.

There is no river passing through Jinling, but the State of Wu built an artificial river here. Because the water from the Murray River flows into Jinling, Jinling becomes livable.

There is another reason for choosing to move the capital here, because on the opposite coast is Tasmania, which is the territory of Wu State.

There is a large island on the left and right sides of Bass Strait, which can serve as two wings of the capital and protect it.

Zhu Jianhu gathered heavy troops on two large islands to defend Jinling. Enemies from the sea would not be able to enter Jinling.

Enemies on land are even less likely. The straight-line distance between Jinling and Xianyang is thousands of kilometers. Unless you can fly, you can't defeat them.

Jinling, like Xianyang, is an extremely safe capital.

The reason why he moved the capital here was because he was at odds with the country of Tao, and he was worried that the country of Tao would raid the royal capital.

Wu State has the richest territory on the entire continent.

It has two large plains, the central plain; the Murray River-Darling River, and the two river plains. The water from the two rivers is diverted through the Wu Kingdom to irrigate the entire plain, making this plain an important grain-producing area for the Wu Kingdom.

The Han people use water better than anyone else.

The state of Wu turned the two short rivers into inland rivers. Under the governance of the state of Wu, they became two very long rivers. It does not matter whether they enter the sea or not. What is important is to turn the entire plain into an inland river. of fertile farmland.

In the past two years, Wu has become a country of gourmet food.

Attracting tourists from all over the world.

In order to leave a good impression on tourists, King Wu Zhu Jianhu issued an edict not to hunt wild animals in front of tourists, and also enacted legislation to protect wild animals.

In fact, the wildlife in Wu State is disappearing rapidly.

Unless these things disappear, Wu will not be livable.

For example, if a tourist is playing, and a poisonous snake suddenly appears, if the tourist dies, will someone else come?

As for letting people distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic?

Crazy?

Before the distinction could be made, everyone was bitten to death.

In Wu State, hunting is indiscriminate.

But they won't show it openly, let alone use highly toxic poisons to kill them piece by piece, and then make them public. Isn't this unhealthy?

That's right, I'm talking about King Zhu Jianyu.

Wu State also needs to maintain its glorious image and receive tourists.

Since the 60th year of Jingtai, Wu has received tens of millions of tourists in cities such as Meili and Jinling, which are popular tourist destinations.

In order to allow tourists to experience the tropical rainforest up close, in the 62nd year of Jingtai, the State of Wu built the city of Canberra in the Great Dividing Range and named it Jianye.

When tourists come, they must have something to play with.

Australia is a new land with no history.

As soon as King Wu thought about it, he thought of setting up a poison museum, making specimens of all poisonous things, putting them in, and selling tickets.

Sure enough, the Poison Museum immediately became popular.

It is said that everyone in the country knew about this museum of poisons, and the King of Nie also wanted to build it, but as a result, no tourists went there at all. It is said that King Nie was so angry that he jumped off his feet.

King Wu thought again and decided to build a wildlife museum.

Wild animals are also made into specimens to allow tourists to get up close and personal.

I wanted to do some work, but it was too dangerous. If a few tourists died, Wu didn't want to ruin their promising future.

Then open the hunting ground and eat fresh food after hunting.

Wu has everything that is unavailable in China.

It’s better to open it up and eat whatever you want.

A series of operations have made tourism in Wu more popular.

In the 2300rd year of Jingtai, Wu State received a total of million tourists, setting a record for foreign tourism.

These days, foreign tourism is not developed because the country is so big and has everything, but there is nothing abroad, and domestic people are not willing to travel abroad.

Being able to attract so many Ming people to travel is enough to show that Wu State has two skills.
