Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2249, Three Treasures of Nanyun

"Woooo~woooo~"

On the west side of the Caucasus Mountains, on the railway connecting Black Earth Province and Northwest Province in Nanyun Province, a train is passing through the Caucasus region. The animals inside ran wildly.

Liu Jin looked at the mountains in the distance, the mountains were stacked with clouds and mist, the winding peaks, the dense forests, the green grasslands, the trickling streams flowing in the mountain canyons, and the flying springs and waterfalls on the cliffs.

The scenery here is really picturesque and beautiful. Even the best poets of Daming landscape painting can hardly describe one ten-thousandth of the beauty here.

This is a picturesque, beautiful place like a fairyland on earth!

So much so that Lian Liu Jin was stunned unconsciously, attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"It really lives up to its reputation!"

"I've heard for a long time that the scenery in Nanyun Province is picturesque. The Nanyun Mountain Range is a rare mountain in the world. The scenery is unrivaled in the world. Now I just sit on the train and take a quick look at it, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

Xu Wan'er beside Liu Jin was obviously also deeply attracted by the picturesque scenery in front of him. The scenery of Nanyun Province was very famous in the Ming Empire.

Many newspapers have reported the beautiful scenery of Nanyun Province in detail, and there are also a large number of literati who have come here to visit the mountains and rivers, leaving behind a large number of poems and songs. Poetry to praise the beauty of Nagumo.

There are three treasures in Nanyun, which are beautiful scenery, beauties and fine wine!

The so-called beauty is the beauty of the Nagumo Mountains area.

The Nanyun Mountains are the later Caucasus Mountains. The entire mountain range is about 1200 kilometers long and can be roughly divided into three sections: east, middle, and west. The overall trend is from northwest to southeast.

Because the changes in the mountains are very large, the hammer changes in the natural landscape are very obvious. The range from an altitude of 4000 meters to an altitude of 2000 meters is only a few hundred miles, so it also forms the unique nature of flying waterfalls and flowing springs in Nanyun Province. Landscape, as well as the rapid transformation of plateau mountains, boreal coniferous forests, and temperate broad-leaved forests.

There are many mountains and waters and clouds and mists, waterfalls and springs, birds and animals, the scenery is as beautiful as a painting,
A large number of dignitaries in the Ming Empire owned manors here. The main purpose of these manors was to grow grapes, brew wine, raise cows and produce cheese for the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty.

In their spare time, these powerful people can also come here by train, take a leisure vacation in their own manor, ride horses and hunt in this picturesque place, and have leisure and entertainment.

"It is indeed a well-deserved reputation. We can just live in our own manor in Nanyun Province for a while."

Liu Jin also deeply agrees, the scenery here is really beautiful.

Here you can easily enjoy the scenery of plateau snow-capped mountains, as well as the scenery of frigid coniferous forests, alpine grasslands, and temperate broad-leaved forests. At the same time, there are many flying springs and waterfalls. In future generations, those places will be circled for tourism development.

However, here in Nanyun Province, beautiful scenery is everywhere, with lush grasslands, cattle and sheep grazing on the grasslands, and you can also experience the feeling of grassland herdsmen.

"That must be!"

"Our family still has a manor here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen asked after thinking about it.

"Haha, of course there are, and they are the largest manors in Nanyun Province."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded.

Even his wife doesn't know exactly how much property his family has. Fortunately, Liu Jin goes to see it every year, and he still knows a lot about his family's property.

Because of the unique geographical environment, superior natural scenery and environment, Nanyun Province quickly became the most important wine producing area of ​​the Ming Empire.

To the north of Nanyun Province is the Great Caucasus Mountains. The Great Caucasus Mountains are higher in altitude, forming a unique alpine grassland. The alpine pastures here in Nanyun Province are very good, and can be said to be one of the best pastures in the world.

The temperature in the alpine pasture is relatively low, the water and grass are sweet and rich in nutrition, which is very suitable for grazing cattle and sheep, especially for dairy cows.

Because of the nutrient-rich pasture, plus the fact that it grew up with the snow-capped mountains and rivers, and it grows in the picturesque and sunny grasslands, whether it is the beef and mutton produced by this alpine pasture or the milk of cows, the quality is excellent. it's the best.

With good-quality milk and cheese-making technology imported from Europe, the quality of cheese produced in Nagumo Province is comparable to the best cheese in Europe.

The cheese produced in Nanyun Province has long been famous in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very popular in the Ming Empire, and can even be sold back to Europe, the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire and other places.

To the south of Nanyun Province is the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, which are parallel to the Greater Caucasus Mountains as a whole, and its altitude is only between 1000 and 2000 meters.

The altitude is relatively low, and the latitude is lower at the same time. The Caucasus Mountains in the north block the cold air from the north, which makes the south of Nanyun Province have a very good climate.

This place is very suitable for grape planting. The grapes grown here not only have a large yield, but also are of very good quality, making them the most suitable for winemaking.

There are also countless manors, large and small, almost all of which are mainly wine-making. The slaves bought from Europe brought the best wine-making technology in Europe.

In just a few decades, Nanyun Province has become the largest wine brewing base in the entire Ming Dynasty and even in the world. Not only is the output large, but the quality of the wine produced is also extremely good.

It was very popular in the Ming Empire. The famous families in the Beijing-Tianjin area of ​​the Ming Dynasty almost always used the wine brewed by their own manor when entertaining guests.

European wines are of good quality, but homemade wines are the best.

This ethos was actually brought up by the soldiers who fought in Nanyun Province back then.

At that time, Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, led 20 Ming troops to fight westward from the Hezhong area, crushing the Ottoman Empire and slaughtering hundreds of cities in the Ottoman Empire.

At the same time, the original Georgian Kingdom of Nanyun Province was easily destroyed, and finally the South Caucasus region was captured from the Ottoman Empire, forming the entire Nanyun Province.

According to the system of the Ming Empire, soldiers will be rewarded for their meritorious service in war, and the most popular thing among them is the land.

At that time, a large amount of land in Nanyun Province was rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and they basically chose to stay here in Nanyun Province after they retired.

Each of them established a manor on the land they were rewarded with, and managed it here.

Because in addition to the rewards of land, there are also rewards of cattle and sheep, gold and silver, and women, so these soldiers made use of these.

It just so happens that the manor also needs someone to take care of it, cattle and sheep can graze in it, gold and silver can be used to buy more land, and women can help with work and have children.

As a result, the current large and small manors blooming everywhere in Nanyun Province were gradually formed.

Of course, the Ming Empire did this intentionally at that time, because there were no Han people in Nanyun Province at that time, and the Ming Empire needed to move a large number of immigrants here.

It's better to simply place these Ming soldiers here and let them become the first batch of Han Chinese to immigrate here, and these Ming soldiers have undergone strict training, and they are all good at fighting.

If something happened here in Nanyun Province, it only needed an edict, and these retired Ming soldiers could be called up and armed again immediately, and everything could be put down quickly.

That's why there are countless manors and wineries in Nanyun Province, which slowly promote the development of the wine industry in Nanyun Province.

When these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty communicated with their relatives and friends, they naturally entertained them with the fine wine produced by their own winery, even Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, and the others.

The quality of the wine produced is very good, and everyone thinks it is still very good after drinking it, which makes them face a lot.

The fine wine produced by this family doesn't cost much, and it can still win praise, so it will naturally give more to relatives and friends.

Gradually, the reputation of fine wines in Nanyun Province gradually spread, and then began to enter the road of commercialization. Specialized wine merchants established estates here to brew wine.

Therefore, hundreds of wine brands, large and small, have formed here, and any one of them is quite famous. The high-quality wines produced are sold all over the world, bringing a steady stream of wealth to Nanyun Province.

In addition, the cheese produced here, because cheese is very good for the body, especially for children and the elderly eating cheese is very good for the body, so although the cheese is something from Europe, it is also rapidly becoming popular in the Ming Empire stand up.

Few Chinese people in later generations often eat this food, mainly because the price of cheese is indeed expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

But the current Ming Empire is different. Not only are European countries desperately exporting cheese and wine to the Ming Empire, but the Ming Empire also has a large number of pastures that can produce cheese.

The production of this cheese is large, its quality is high, and its price is relatively cheap. Even ordinary people in Ming Dynasty can afford it. This is the reason why cheese becomes popular in Ming Dynasty.

The double blessing of fine wine and cheese also makes manors bloom everywhere in Nanyun Province. There are dignitaries from Beijing and Tianjin, locals in Nanyun Province, etc. There are many large and small manors, each with its own wine and unique cheese. .

As the largest capitalist and investor in the Ming Empire, Liu Jin also has his own huge industry in Nanyun Province, involving many fields, including many large manors, large wineries, and large ranches that specialize in the production of fine wine, Cheese, grazing cattle and sheep.
