Chapter 1852, Golden Continent Great Plains

In the north of Penglai Bay, on the vast North Gold Island Great Plains, more than 100 people are galloping on the vast Great Plains on horseback, with bows and arrows, and muskets.

The Great Plains of North Gold Continent can be said to be the largest plain in the world.

The land here is very fertile, one of the three largest black lands in the world.

In addition to the fertile black land, the terrain here is gentle, open and flat. The key is that the rain is very abundant, not only the Mississippi River (Mississippi River) in the middle, but also the precipitation itself is quite good.

Such a unique place has also created the world's number one powerful agriculture in later generations.

For agriculture, technology is very important, but what is more important is to have innate natural resources and climate. The strong and developed agriculture of later generations in the United States has a lot to do with occupying this treasure land.

The land here is fertile, flat and open, and is extremely suitable for mechanized farming and production. The food produced here is even enough to supply the needs of billions of people around the world.

Of course, the old Americans of later generations did not do that. They were very clever and only cultivated part of the land, and they continued to cultivate the land in rotation to keep the land laborious and allow the land to rest.

But even so, it is still the most important grain producing area and grain exporting area in the world in later generations, accounting for more than half of the world's grain exports.

Liu Jin rode a horse and galloped on this vast and fertile land, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

With this fertile plain, the people of Ming Dynasty can open their bellies to give birth to babies. Even if there are billions of people, they don't have to worry about starvation. This large plain is enough to feed billions of people.

Of course, the current Great Plain has not been developed much. Here is an endless prairie with lush water and grass. It is the North Golden Continent prairie that is as famous as the South Golden Continent prairie.

Only in a few areas along the coast and along the river, some immigrants from the Ming Dynasty opened up some farms here, and planted some corn, wheat, sugar cane and the like.

In addition, there are a few herdsmen who migrated from the grassland province. They graze cattle and sheep on this vast land. It is still a paradise for big bison and a hunting place for Yin and Shang tribes.

"This North Golden Continent prairie is really rich in water and grass!"

Emperor Hongzhi slowly stopped the horse he was riding. Thinking that he hadn’t come out to ride a horse for a long time, this time it was also very rare to be able to ride a horse to gallop on the grassland and hunt. They all feel refreshed.

"Your Majesty, although this is a grassland now, it is actually quite different from our Daming's grassland province."

"Prairie Province has limited precipitation, high latitude and low heat, so it is not suitable for the development of agriculture, only suitable for the development of animal husbandry, but the precipitation here is very abundant, and the latitude is low, and the light and heat are also sufficient. There is also a large river in the middle, the land is extremely fertile, it is black land, the terrain is open and flat, it is very suitable for the development of agriculture.”

"This great plain is said to be nearly 2000 miles wide and 6000 miles long. The area is extremely vast. If it is cultivated here, the grain produced in the future will even be greater than that of Liaodong, Hezhong, and Heitu provinces combined. many."

Liu Jin smiled and introduced the great plain under his feet to Emperor Hongzhi.

The descendants of the Shang Dynasty developed very slowly, and were still very backward and primitive. There was no way to form a feudal empire on such a vast plain, and they were still in the tribal stage of hunting.

If the Indians in history could rely on the favorable conditions here to develop a powerful empire, Europe may not be able to occupy here.

Of course, it may also be because the natural conditions here are so superior, the water and grass are abundant, and the prey is abundant, and they can live a good life just by hunting.

Naturally, the Indians here will also become comfortable, lack the sense of urgency, and their development will also become extremely slow, and naturally there will be no way to develop a strong civilization.

This is also evident in Africa.

The land in Africa is actually very fertile, and in most areas it can even be said that the climate is quite good.

Africa is extremely rich in products, and there are many kinds of wild fruits and fruits. In many cases, there is no need to plant them deliberately. You only need to throw the seeds into the land to reap a full harvest.

Such favorable natural conditions have also fostered the lazy genes of the native Africans, because they can live well without hard work, and naturally no one will work hard.

They just need to lie under the tree and live a leisurely life. This trip is thousands of years.

While people in other places are making continuous progress and development, they still continue the tribal stage thousands of years ago without any progress.

As soon as the age of great voyages came, they naturally became slaves. Even after following the Europeans for hundreds of years, they still remained the same without any progress and development.

The lazy gene in their bones can't be changed. They don't plant land when they starve to death, and don't dig wells when they die of thirst. This is their tradition.

In the new century, the population exploded, and when the natural output of the land could no longer meet the needs of the growing population, famines, diseases, and the like began to spread, and it became the least developed area in the world.

The situation here in Golden Continent is somewhat similar.

The conditions here are great.

The land is fertile and the rainfall is abundant, which brings excellent natural conditions here, so that there are many species here, and the scale is huge. These local aborigines can live a good life just by hunting, and naturally they rarely go back. Cultivated land to grow crops.

The Mayan civilization, the Aztec Kingdom, and the Inca Empire were all in the tropics, and the conditions in the tropics were much worse than here, where the land was barren and not open and narrow.

So where there is no way to play the hunting mode, you can only play the farming mode, and slowly develop civilization and empire, and begin to transition from a slave society to a feudal society.

In the history of mankind, the reason why any great civilization and empire can develop is because of its relatively difficult natural conditions. It needs constant use of wisdom to create and change its own environment in order to gradually adapt and survive. .

This place in Europe is undoubtedly a good place for future generations, but in ancient times, Europe is too far behind Africa and the Golden Continent?
First of all, the temperature in Europe is low, especially in winter, the temperature is cold, if you can't weave?You'll freeze to death, there's no way you can survive here.

Secondly, the products in Europe are not rich. People can’t survive by eating wild fruits, fruits, or hunting in the forest like the Golden Continent and Africa. So you have to cultivate and develop agriculture. be able to obtain food to survive.

Let's talk about our land of China, which is also similar. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and there are not enough rich products.

Therefore, our ancestors had to use their wisdom and hard work to continuously cultivate the land and weave cloth in order to survive and develop.

Coupled with the threat of nomadic tribes in the north, we must constantly find ways to improve our combat effectiveness in order to be able to defend our home and country.

Affected by the subtropical high pressure, either the south is flooded and the north is drought, or the north is flooded and the south is drought. This makes us have to maintain a unified empire at all times so that the north and the south can support each other, help continue and develop continuously.

Only then gradually developed a great and brilliant Chinese civilization.

Sometimes a civilization is just like a person.

It is actually a good thing to suffer a little bit and be tempered when you are young. It can exercise a person's willpower, endurance and ability to adapt, so that he can be more independent when he grows up.

If you have lived too comfortably since you were a child, and you open your mouth for food and stretch out your clothes for clothes, you don’t know anything, and you don’t know anything, and you lack tempering and exercise, it will be difficult for you to be independent when you grow up.

The truth is the same, and so is civilization.

The natural conditions of the Golden Isle are so good that it is extremely difficult for the natives here to develop.

Of course, it may also be because the time they migrated to this continent was too short, the population was too small when they first migrated, and it took a long time to gradually recover the population, but other continents have already entered feudal society, and technology The progress of the development of civilization and civilization has been much ahead of you.

"Yeah!"

"This piece of land is really a rich land that God bestowed on us Daming people. With this piece of land, we in Daming no longer have to worry about famine."

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Emperor Hongzhi nodded happily.

Such a fertile and vast wilderness, if the large-scale agricultural farming methods of Liaodong and Hezhong Earth are used, and mechanized large-scale farming is used, the food that can be produced here will really be terrifying.

Of course, there are still too few Daming people here.

There are very few Daming people in the entire Golden Continent, only a few million, and they are all distributed in the immigrant towns along the coast. What everyone is keen on is not farming, but looking for gold and silver.

"If this land is reclaimed, we, Ming Dynasty, will no longer have to worry about food."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded in agreement.

Daming now has a lot of places that produce grain. Liaodong, Hezhong, Nanyang, the mainland of Daming, and black soil provinces in the future have not yet been developed. The main reason is that the population is too small. Even under the mechanized farming mode, There is still not much land that has been reclaimed, but the grain production is already very large, and the Ming people simply cannot eat it all.

"Your Majesty, there is a large herd of wild buffalo ahead, the number is tens of thousands!"

At this time, someone hurried over to report.

"Okay~ Let's go take a look at the herd of bison in the Golden Continent."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately regained his spirits.
