- I enjoyed a delicious mutton feast here in Borut, the Mongolian. I have to say that this Golden Continent is really a chosen place. The cattle, sheep and horses here are all fat and strong, and the mutton is also extremely delicious. Delicious and no mutton smell.
After eating and drinking, Wen Yongzheng and Xiao Yan took their team and continued towards the outlet of the Xibi River, where they planned to take a boat back to Penglai City to rest for a while.
As we get closer and closer to the Sibi River and Penglai Bay, we gradually begin to see large tracts of cultivated fields, with faces stretching as far as the eye can see.
"I have been to Liaodong once, and the fields in Liaodong are similar to here. The fields are very large, and some fields often cover dozens or even hundreds of acres."
"I have also been to Jiangnan. Here in Jiangnan, the fields are very small. Even a large flat field must be divided into countless small pieces. The maximum is only one or two acres, and many even have one acre of land. They have to be divided into several parts, and they are often irregular.¡±
"The fields here and those in Liaodong are still more comfortable to look at. The roads are straight and the fields are large and straight, straight and square."
Holding a telescope and carefully looking at the vast fields in front of him, Xiao Yan also recalled the scenes he saw in the Ming Dynasty.
"You are young and may not understand very well."
"When I was a child, our Ming Dynasty had not yet expanded externally, so everyone was concentrated in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Many families, a dozen or so people, lived on a few acres of land, and they lived on those acres of land throughout the year. I work so hard that I don¡¯t even have enough to eat.¡±
"At that time, land was very precious. It was the lifeblood and something passed down from generation to generation."
"Whoever talks about selling the land inherited from our ancestors will be stabbed in the spine and scolded as a prodigal."
When Wen Yongzheng heard this, he also remembered his life as a child.
¡°At that time, I was really poor.¡±
"That kind of poverty is unimaginable to the new generation like you. It's so poor that you don't even have enough to eat. It's so poor that many poor families only wear one pair of trousers for several people."
"How can several people wear the same pair of pants?"
Someone next to me asked quickly, very curious. 强牺 hxjxs.com 读牺
"How to wear it?"
"Of course I wear them in turns. If I have to go out, I wear pants. If I don't go out, I stay naked at home."
¡°You young people have no idea of ??the poverty and suffering back then.¡±
Wen Yong sighed as he spoke, then pointed to the land in front of him and said: "Look at this great plain, what a wonderful land it is."
"The terrain is open and flat. The land here is fertile and deep, and the water is abundant. In the past, such land would not be wasted at all. It must be cultivated to grow food."
"But look at the farmland in front of you. It's already midsummer now. However, even though there are large tracts of fertile land that have been cultivated, no one has planted them. They are just deserted here." hxjxs.com Zhang Si
¡°If you look at the crops grown here, there are not many that grow food, and most of them grow sugar cane. Why grow sugar cane?¡±
"Because sugar cane can be used to make sucrose, and sucrose is expensive and easy to sell."
"As for food, the most indispensable thing in this Golden Continent is food. Look at those corn fields and wheat fields. They are overgrown with weeds and seriously lack of care. Because food is too cheap, farming is not profitable at all."
¡°If this had been done a few decades ago, in our own country of Ming Dynasty, we would have been scolded to death. If we wasted such a waste of natural resources, wasted the land, and did not work hard to cultivate, we would have been scolded to death.¡±
"The land at that time, even a little bit of land in the corner, had to be used to grow food, because food is the most precious thing and the guarantee of survival."
Wen Yongzheng also felt this. He recalled the scene when he was beaten when he was a child because he dropped a few grains of rice while eating. Then he thought about the children in his own family who picked food from one place to another, and half of them dropped half of the food.
Times have really changed.
The common people are really rich, because there is so much fertile land that can be cultivated, and the food produced is so much that the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot eat it all even if they open their bellies.
The grain produced in Liaodong and Hezhong in one year was enough to feed the entire Ming Dynasty for several years.
???Watermelon came to entertain the guests. "
Su Laosan was very enthusiastic and became excited when he saw the expedition team. He also quickly ordered his woman to prepare.
"Oil company?"
"What is this oil?"
While Su Laosan entertained them warmly, he also started chatting with Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others.
"Petroleum is a kind of black oil. It is mainly buried underground, so it is difficult to find. This kind of oil is very rare in our Ming Dynasty, but now it seems to be of great use, so our boss also established an oil company. Commercial Bank, let us come to Golden Continent to look for oil."
Wen Yongzheng also replied, "This gold The people in Asia are warm-hearted. Whether they are the nomadic Mongolians or the farming people of the Ming Dynasty, they are very warm and welcome you warmly when you come.
"Dark oil?"
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. When Su Laosan heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded, because not long ago he discovered some dark oil seeping out of the soil when he was in his own land.
At that time, Su Laosan and his family were shocked, thinking that there was something evil in this place, otherwise there would be black oil coming out of nowhere.
"This is actually oil!"
Su Laosan¡¯s eyes lit up, thinking about the oil underground in his home. If this was really useful in the future, wouldn¡¯t it mean he would make a fortune?
??In the past, people who explored and explored were looking for wealth, but they never thought that there was oil under their own homes
