The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 841: The falling machine ignited a raging fire that burned for a long time. Emperor Xiaowu said: This is a punishment from heaven!
Suddenly, the sky was occupied by a blazing fire. Countless trees and houses in the picture were burned in the fire, instantly taking away the vision of everyone in the sky.

[The fire of the downhill machine is burning, the forest is burning, Sunset Boulevard is burning, the mansions of celebrities are burning, and half of the downhill machine is burning]

[Entertainment venues everywhere are closed, and millions of households have lost power or are facing power outages]

[The year 2025 started with fire, with six wildfires burning at the same time, covering an area of ​​more than square kilometers]

[This wildfire has been going on for two days, burning tens of thousands of buildings and is expected to cause more than $100 billion in losses]

The total damage and economic losses it causes could be as high as four percent of the state's annual GDP.

[This will be the natural disaster with the largest economic losses in the history of the United States]

[In the past, the biggest natural disaster for the United States was Hurricane Katrina, which caused losses of $100 billion, which is tens of billions of dollars less than this disaster.]

[It is worth noting that the estimated losses of this disaster are still being revised upward]

[The main reason why the wildfire caused such serious losses was that it swept through wealthy areas and burned down a large number of expensive mansions.]

[In the raging fire, the house was burning with crackling sounds, and the sky and the earth were burned red]

The large amount of fire in the video shocked everyone, and everyone looked at the sky in amazement.

They are no strangers to wildfires.

When the weather is dry, they occasionally encounter forest fires, but this is the first time they have seen a forest fire of this magnitude!
Ordinary people were just shocked by the unprecedented fire. The wealthy businessmen, looking at the burned mansions, couldn't help but empathize with the rich people whose mansions were burned down, and felt the pain in their hearts.

These houses are all expensive luxury homes!

Although they did not particularly understand how money was calculated in later generations, they could easily guess how big the loss was by calculating it in hundreds of billions.

Shi Chong stared at the sky, couldn't help but cover his chest and mutter to himself.

"This is like using a mansion as firewood..."

Even he felt heartbroken for these mansions.

When he competed with Wang Kai for wealth, he just used candles as firewood, used colored forgings to lay roadblocks for dozens of miles, and smashed two-foot-high corals.

None of them can compare to the several mansions that burned down here.

Shi Chong looked at his own house, which was dozens of miles wide and magnificent. If this house was burned down...

He covered his chest with more force and said hurriedly, "From today on, there will be people on duty day and night in the house to prevent a fire!"

……

[In fact, wildfires are common in California, where the mountaineering machine is located. It would be a miracle if there were no wildfires in a certain year.]

[This is because California itself has a "fire-prone" constitution]

[California has a Mediterranean climate, with typical periods of rain and heat, hot summers and particularly dry weather, and warm and rainy winters]

[Thus, in winter, California's vast forests were born, with a forest coverage rate of 50%, not to mention the large areas of oily low shrubs distributed around it.]

[It is simply a storage of a large amount of natural explosive "fuel tanks"]

[Especially last year when the El Nino phenomenon occurred, there was more rain in the winter and drier and hotter summers. There were only thunder but no rain in the whole of California.]

[Coupled with the strong winds in California this year, the winds have increased the intensity of fires, making it easier to cause wildfires.]

[However, the specific cause of this landslide fire still needs to be investigated later to be finally determined]

[Dry weather and strong winds are still accelerating the spread of fires]

"Devil's wind? This landslide fire is clearly a warning from heaven, a punishment from heaven!"

Emperor Xiaowu fell weakly on the dragon throne, staring blankly at the sky. No one knew the cause of these sky fires better than them, the Northern Wei.

These fires from the sky are God’s punishment for them and for those in power. Just like what happened to the Yongning Tower back then.

In the third year of Yongxi, heaven sent down a warning by sending down thunder that hit the Yongning Pagoda.

The Yongning Tower started burning from the eighth floor, and the fire was already extremely fierce when daybreak began.

He sent more than a thousand Yulin soldiers to put out the fire, but to no avail. He could only watch the nine-story pagoda, which was 49 meters high, reduced to ashes.

What was burned was not only the Yongning Tower, but also the destiny of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

From then on, the Northern Wei Dynasty declined rapidly.

Emperor Xiaowu was on the throne and could see clearly that the Northern Wei Dynasty would not last more than two months and would soon be destroyed, and he was powerless to save the situation.

He looked at the sky and said, "This mountain-falling machine fire is just like the Yongning Tower fire six months ago. It must be a warning from heaven, sending down fire from heaven as punishment."

It is no wonder that Emperor Xiaowu thought so, as this was almost a consensus among the Northern Wei royal family.

Although the Northern Wei regime had been in turmoil for a long time, it did not begin to decline rapidly until the Yongning Pagoda was burned down. Therefore, in their eyes, the heavenly fire was a warning and punishment.

Yongning was struck by disaster and Wei was no longer at peace.

Tang Dynasty.

Wang Yuanbao looked at the sky, then looked at his own fields and houses, and suddenly became worried.

He used much of the money he earned to build houses. The walls of these houses were made of gold and silver, the thresholds of the Lixian Room were made of sandalwood, the floors were paved with walnut, the column bases were made of brocade stone, and the floor tiles of the back garden were made of copper coins.

Every house is extremely expensive.

Even though he was so poor that he only had money left, he would be heartbroken if these houses were also burned down by the wildfire!
"No! This forest fire cannot be prevented, so I will make fireproof measures for the house. The wood will burn, so I will use gold and silver to make the house."

While Wang Yuanbao was busy preventing wildfires at his house, Tianmu's video continued:

[This wildfire also exposed many hidden problems of the Eagle Sauce and aroused the anger of the people]

【First, the issue of insurance. 】

[The largest insurance company in the United States said that last year, it canceled nearly 70% of home insurance in the community in the name of avoiding "financial losses"]

【So by this time in California, insurance companies had already run away. 】

[People whose houses were burned down in this fire may not even be able to find insurance companies to compensate for the damage to their houses]

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and roughly understood what insurance and insurance companies in later generations were about, and he sneered.

"Oh, these businessmen are just bastards who jump at the chance of profit. When they find out that they can't make money and even lose money, they run away immediately. They don't care about the lives of the people at all!"

These businessmen who only care about profit should be controlled by the court.
He looked at the burned mansion in the sky and didn't feel any pain for them at all.

Didn’t you hear Tianmu say that most of the areas burned were in wealthy areas?

Most of these people are businessmen, and they are the same as those insurance businessmen who ran away. Their mansions can be burned down.

If he were fighting wars in the south and the north, these people's houses would not be burned by heavenly fire, but would be looted by him!
Anyway, it was built with the people’s money, so it’s just right to burn it down!

Recalling the time of the uprising, the people were poor and destitute, with insufficient food to eat, while the wealthy businessmen ate meat and fish for every meal and enslaved and oppressed the common people.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not been concerned about the courtiers watching the sky curtain below, he would have wanted to slam the table and shout, "Well done!"
