The place where Zhao Hutou and others built Xinye City should be near Mexico City in later generations.
The wheel of history is really amazing. In history, Tenoch, the first big city built by the Aztecs, was here.
Of course, there are practical reasons for this, because the Anahuac Valley, where Mexico City is located, has a mild climate and is suitable for human habitation.
And because it is a valley, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Especially this small island located on Lake Texcoco has unique defensive advantages and can defend itself well against incoming enemies.
At the same time, there is a very large alluvial plain surrounding Lake Texcoco with fertile land.
The rivers flowing into Lake Texcoco brought abundant water sources, which not only facilitated the development of agriculture, but also made transportation very convenient.
In terms of China, this is the Hanzhong Plain with a slightly higher altitude.
Therefore, an experienced tooth general like Zhao Siwan fell in love with it at a glance.
As for the powerful civilization in the southeast discovered by Zhao Hutou, Zhao Siwan and others, if nothing else, it must be the Mayan civilization on the Yucatan Peninsula.
However, the current timeline is an important period for the Mayan civilization to transform from the middle period of classical culture to post-classical culture.
The famous city of Chichen Itza would usher in its final glory in the following decades, and then rapidly decline.
Generally speaking, the Mayan cultural city-states at this time were falling into a period of decline and chaos, while new glory was still brewing.
Correspondingly, if crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, and cotton are God's gifts or even preferences for the Native Americans.
So syphilis, known as bayberry rot, was a curse given by God to the Native Americans for this preference.
This piece of shit is famous in the history of mankind, mainly because of its method of transmission. In the era without condoms, it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it.
Not only because the mode of transmission is relatively secretive, but also because when it first starts, the symptoms are not as severe as cholera, plague, or smallpox. By the time you realize you are sick, you don’t know how far it has spread.
At the same time, in the later stage, the external manifestations of this piece of shit were very strong, with sores all over the body, decay and pus, blindness and hair loss, etc.
Not to mention the pain caused by the disease, the external manifestations alone are enough to make a person die or even lose the desire to live.
Therefore, I, Saint Zhang, have been extremely vigilant about this thing, for fear that it might infect the Middle-Earth at this time.
Especially whenever he thinks of the word syphilis, Zhang Shengren can think of a time before he traveled through time, when he encountered a seven-cent beauty.
At that time, I felt that I was very lucky, and after many heated skill competitions between the two parties, I suddenly learned from others that this person had worked hard in Dongguan for several years.
That's scary!
After reading Baidu for a while, I was almost frightened to the point of losing all functions on the spot. I was in constant fear for more than a month.
This disease is so damn hateful!
Therefore, when Zhao Hutou set out, Zhang Shengren gave him countless instructions and not only drew a sketch to teach him how to identify it, explained the symptoms and how to spread it, but also asked Zhao Hutou to strictly control the crotch of his expedition warriors.
This is not to say that you are not allowed to have relationships with Aboriginal people, because it is impossible, but all selected Aboriginal partners must carefully check whether there are any problems in this area in advance.
After confirming that it is not the case, you must also fix the circle. You will not go out and have sex, and you cannot let the female natives do it. If anyone is going to get it, just stay in Dongsheng Shenzhou. There is no need to come back.
In fact, Zhang Shengren still overreacted a little, because syphilis at this time was not as scary as it would be in later generations.
The reason why later generations were so terrible that they were able to put down all the French troops who entered Italy was thanks to the 'good' living habits of the white-skinned gentlemen at that time.
This group of guys has never been able to control their crotch very well. From kings and queens to street vendors and farmers, their private lives are very chaotic.
So much so that syphilis, a disease that was only moderately contagious among Native Americans, reached Europe and spread faster than the Mongolians could throw plague with a trebuchet.
Secondly, the sanitary conditions in Europe at that time were not to mention public toilets, which were also big cesspits. They had no knowledge about physiological hygiene and did not care at all.
In this dirty environment, after the exotic dragon syphilis arrived in Europe, it was very likely that it would quickly integrate resources with the local local snakes.
As the saying goes, I will use the AK, and you will use the AK to make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.
Finally, bed politics was very popular in European royal families at that time. It was normal for a European nobleman to have dozens of bed partners on average. In addition, they often held bank parties.
This cross-arrangement and combination of geometric indices quickly allowed syphilis to complete its final evolution in Europe.
Of course, this does not mean that syphilis is not severe today.
At least among the indigenous Mayan culture, a large number of city-states continue to disappear. In addition to desertification caused by wars, water sources, and poor farming techniques, syphilis also accounts for a large proportion.
The indigenous people in the early slave society did not have much concept of morality and etiquette. Even if the original syphilis at this time was not ferocious, after spreading for tens, hundreds or even hundreds of years, the number of patients in the towns increased sharply, and healthy people appeared. If people keep leaving in panic, and another foreign enemy invades, everyone will be alive immediately, and the town will basically be waiting to be abandoned.
. . . .
Under the dim sun, Zhao Hutou was seizing the time to write quickly.
Well, Dongsheng Shenzhou is still too backward, and lighting at night basically relies on torches, so Zhao Hutou usually gets things done before dark.
Zhao Hutou is writing a memorial to Zhang Yan, because they have been in Dongshengshenzhou for more than a year and have a basic understanding of the situation.
Now it is time for a group of voyagers to try to return to Middle-earth from the Canglang Water (North Equatorial Warm Current).
'The minister, the second class of Longtao Academy, graduated from the Holy Emperor Shaoming in the seventh year, and his disciple Zhao Yihu reported to the saint in Xinye City, Dongshengshenzhou, thousands of miles away:
The disciple was born in April of the tenth year of the Shaoming Dynasty. He set out from Xiantai City, Xiantai Prefecture, Chaori Province of the Yan State, and climbed the Cangming River to the southeast to find Dongshengshen Island.
Thanks to the saint's advice and His Majesty's blessing, despite strong winds and high waves, dark sea and sky, 80% reduction in personnel, and almost all the warships lost, we finally arrived at Dongshengshenzhou, and soon met the monk who went to sea in the seventh year of Shaoming. Extend life.
It has been eighteen months since the disciples arrived at Dong (Sheng Shen) Continent, where they cut off the rebellious people, cultivated the fields, recruited warriors, and opened up all directions.
The sage asked that the treasure of Dongzhou must be found, and the disciples basically completed it.
One is corn, which has four subspecies and is the staple food that the natives of Eastern Asia depend on for their survival.
Its grain yield is about the same as that of Champa rice. It can be grown on sloping land or dry land, no matter whether it is fat or thin. It is heat and drought tolerant. It can be grown in Andong with falling snow and Lingnan in the scorching heat. However, it likes water but cannot tolerate flooding.
During the four years that Master Yanshou was in Dongzhou, he planted a total of 634,000 acres.
Among them, there are 90,000 acres of farmland, with an average yield of 611 pounds per mu.
There are 350,000 acres of Zhongtian, with an average yield of 493 kilograms per mu.
There are 190,000 acres of fields, with an average yield of 327 pounds per mu.
In addition to its high grain yield, its stem and core are of great use. The disciples have tried to cook it. It is slightly bitter but edible. Although it has poor satiety, it is far better than wild grass and bark.
Since people can eat it, it would be great to feed livestock, so the disciples believed that, all in all, the yield per mu could be at least another fifty kilograms.
Based on this view, the sage said that this thing can alleviate the hunger of the people in the world, and he sincerely speaks the truth.
It is expected that when corn reaches China, it will completely replace millet, millet, black millet, etc. and become an important weapon of the country. '
After writing this, Zhao Yihu, also known as Zhao Hutou, the emperor's disciple, stopped writing with a sigh.
Comparing the comprehensive yield of corn with that of Zhongtu, the average yield of 460 kilograms per mu can easily crush the 230 kilograms in Helong, Ningxia, and Hedong, and the 270 kilograms in Guanzhong.
It is also far better than the three hundred kilograms in Shu and Henan and the three hundred and twenty kilograms in Jianghuai.
Even compared to Champa rice, it weighs twenty to thirty kilograms more, and it is not as easy to squeeze out the fertility of the ground as Champa rice, and the taste is far superior.
In this way, when the corn arrives in the Central Plains, it is basically equivalent to giving Da Zhou an extra one-third of its land out of thin air.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hutou's excited hands began to tremble. He thought that in the future, there should be a shrine for Zhao Hutou in some small rural temples.
Of course, Zhao Hutou still doesn’t know that corn has extremely huge potential. In future generations, the yield per mu will not be a problem, and it can be at least 1,400 to 500 kilograms.
Now that it has reached the hands of Chinese people who are talented in farming ahead of schedule, production should increase faster than in history.
After being excited for a while, Zhao Hutou continued to write:
The disciples also found the sweet potatoes mentioned by the sage. However, although the yield per mu is higher than that of corn, the descendants of the local Yin people rarely regard it as a staple food and use it mostly to make sugar.
After careful inspection, the disciples found that although the food was delicious and the stems and leaves were good vegetables, it could not withstand hunger.
At the end of Shenshi (five o'clock in the afternoon), I ate more than fifteen pieces, which was enough for two huge bowls. Then at dawn, I was definitely hungry and panicked. This must be the reason why the descendants of the Yin people in Dongzhou did not use it as a staple food.
However, with such a huge output, even if it does not relieve hunger, it is still very useful food. Although it is useless in good years, it is life-saving food in disaster years. '
Well, Zhao Hutou hasn't realized yet that the biggest function of sweet potatoes is not to be eaten by humans in good years, but to be eaten by pigs.
When there are stems and leaves, they eat the stems and leaves, and when there are no stems and leaves, they eat the fruits. With this thing, pigs are qualified to be the first of the six animals.
Because in ancient times, few people raised pigs. The most important reason was not because they couldn’t undergo castration surgery, nor because they were dirty and full of parasites. Pigs actually love to be clean.
In the final analysis, it is because pigs are in conflict with people in the diet.
Pigs can eat, like to eat, and grow meat after eating things, such as radishes, various vegetables, corn, etc. These are generally things that people also like to eat.
But at this time, the food that people can eat is so precious. Needless to say, how can they be willing to give it to pigs?
But if you don’t give these pigs to eat, but let them graze like cattle and sheep, well, then you will find that after you have worked hard to raise this pig for three or four years, it still weighs sixty, seventy, seventy or eighty pounds. It's a complete waste of manpower to cut the grass and raise it for him.
Therefore, before there were crops such as sweet potatoes, pigs were the kind of people that could always produce some meat if raised in good years and killed quickly in bad years.
Only when there is an adequate supply of sweet potatoes and the pigs have a stable source of relatively high-nutrition food can they become fat in a relatively short period of time.
Instead of looking like now, when I usually gain 60 or 70 pounds, I lose weight and have no more than 20 pounds of meat.
'As for other crops, the disciples have also discovered the taste of chili peppers.
When Zhao Hutou wrote this, he stopped writing and hit his mouth again. It seemed that the burning feeling that made his lips painful and numb came to his mouth again.
If the sage hadn't repeatedly asked him to bring the pepper back and explained it in detail, Zhao Hutou would have thought that this thing was poison, and he didn't know how the sage could be so obsessed with it.
'Tomatoes are sour, sweet and juicy. Students think they are better than Ringo, apricot and other fruits, and they can also be used for cooking. Whether they are stewing meat or making soup, they are the best.
After roasted or deep-fried, peanuts can be compared with walnuts (walnuts) and can also be squeezed for oil, making them a good addition to tea after meals.
In addition, the disciples also found a huge melon (pumpkin). When it grows up, it starts out green and then turns orange-red. It has a faint sweet taste when eaten. It tastes bad when eaten raw, and it is also average after cooking.
However, it does not occupy arable land and has abundant yields. It is also a treasure that benefits the country and the people.
Thinking about the scene after these six kinds of precious crops arrived in the Middle Earth, the disciples should congratulate the saints.
Although the potatoes have not yet been found, the above-mentioned items alone are enough to benefit all people in the world, far more than the prosperous days of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and make the Zhou Kingdom last for tens of thousands of years.
In addition to these precious crops, the disciples also found out the situation of the descendants of the Yin people in Dongzhou, and now presented them to the sage for review.
In terms of customs, these barbarians can only be compared to the savages north of the Xianbei Mountains in Anton and south of the dense forests of the Chu vassal in Yunnan.
The appearance is similar to that of the barbarians Shi Wei and Sheng Nv Zhen near the Xianbei Mountains. They are not like people from the Middle Earth, but they are not Kunlun slaves or blond barbarians.
These descendants of the Yin people now mainly live in the southeast of Shengzhou in Dongshengshenzhou. Their farming technology is extremely backward and they cannot make ironware. They have a small amount of copperware, which was obtained naturally and occasionally, not from large-scale smelting.
They didn't even know how to raise animals at all, and they had no cattle, horses, sheep or other livestock. Therefore, they had no cavalry for fighting, no cattle for farming, and the people were impoverished.
They travel without a frame, because what is extremely strange is that they do not know how to make wheels, and the boats are basically hewn from huge trees, which can easily capsize.
They were brave and brave, and often dared to fight bloody battles, but they had no armor, no iron weapons, and no horses, only wooden clubs and bows and arrows.
Warriors polished the Tokachi Stone (obsidian) sharply and fixed it on sticks to make stone axes, stone spears, and stone daggers.
Such weapons are very sharp to damage those without armor, but they cannot break through my armor, so they are all vulnerable.
According to the information received by the disciples, there are dozens of descendants of the Yin people living here in Fang Kingdom. It was originally under the jurisdiction of the royal family, but it seems that the power has been lost. Now all the countries are attacking each other, just like after King Ping moved eastward.
Among the various countries, there are small ones with more than a thousand households and tens of thousands of people, and large ones with 20,000 to 30,000 households with nearly 200,000 people. The disciples estimate that there are 150,000 households and more than 800,000 people.
They speak the same language, have close exchanges with each other, have great men and martial arts, and have strict order at the top and bottom.
The disciples are here to report to Your Majesty that although their weapons are vulnerable, their numbers are large, so the disciples did not attack rashly.
We should follow the example of the pre-Qin Dynasty in making distant and close attacks, and not easily expose whether we have indestructible iron weapons or strong and indestructible armor. Wait until the saint's next supply arrives and there are three to five hundred armored men, then we can defeat and conquer them.
Therefore, the disciple asked the saint to send out the third fleet, carrying 500 fine iron spearheads, 100 sets of piercing armor, 100 sets of chain mail, 300 brave men, and 50 households each of stonemasons and carpenters. .
In this way, the disciple expects that within ten years, he will be able to conquer the descendants of the Yin people here for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Two or three hundred years from now, when navigation technology is fully developed, even though Dongsheng Shenzhou is thousands of miles away, it can become a paradise for future generations to live and work in peace and contentment.
If this is the case, it is not in vain for the disciples to be carefully cultivated by the saints, and it is not in vain to walk in this world. The great Zhou Dynasty is very lucky, my family is very lucky, and the world is very lucky! '
When Zhao Hutou wrote this last word, his mood was extremely agitated.
Compared with Zhongtu, Dongsheng Shenzhou has a less hot climate and less plagues. It is not even as good as the Rinan Marquis of the Nong clan in Guangnan.
A protégé of the emperor like Zhao Hutou is still the most proud protégé. Even if he wants to go out to the Xiajun Yimin, whether it is the Yan vassal state of King Murong or the Chu vassal state of the emperor's eldest son Zhang Xiancun, they will all have to break his head to rob him. .
Lelang, North Korea, Asahi, Penglai, Yunnan, any place is a hundred times better than Dongsheng Shenzhou.
But Zhao Hutou is willing to stay here, not for his own immediate glory and wealth, but to use what he has learned in his life to realize the great achievements that the sage entrusted them to complete, to colonize the world and to benefit future generations.
Come to think of it, in a hundred or two hundred years, the descendants of Zhao Hutou will be able to ride tall horses, wear silks and satins, hold stunning beauties in their arms and say with great pride:
"Efforts of hardship? I'm sorry, my grandpa Taizu had to endure all the hardships our Zhao family had endured for hundreds of years!
If you can live and work in peace and contentment in Dongzhou now, you have to thank my great grandfather! "
"General, Tutaika Barbarian King Yividimo has sent people again. They hope that we can dispatch five hundred warriors to join them in plundering the villages near Chichen Itza."
Just when Zhao Hutou was in agitated mood, the guards came to report.
The Tutaika people mentioned by the guards were the Toltec Kingdom in history, and Yividimo was the second Toltec king Yividimal.
Historically, it was the Toltecs who first entered the Maya cultural area before the Aztecs controlled it.
They occupied Chichen Itza and revived the declining classical Mayan civilization, which had a considerable impact on both Mayan and Aztec cultures.
This event will happen about thirty years later. Therefore, at this time, the Tutaika people do not have the ability to enter the core area of Mayan culture. They are still barbarians in the north.
So, because this northern barbarian was not strong enough, he began to deliberately invite barbarians further north to launch attacks with him.
Zhao Hutou chuckled, "The Tutaika people are standing between us and the Mayans. Even if we send troops, all the benefits we get will have to be transported back through the Tutaika people's territory. Will we lose people and money by then?" It’s hard to say.
He is Yuan Benchu inviting Gongsun Zan to join forces to attack Jizhou, hahahaha! "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present laughed. It is good to have a deep history. There is no need to explain it. Just give an example to let everyone know what happened.
"Secretly send someone to Chichén Itza and report the situation to the king of the Mayans." Zhao Hutou said to the longevity monk beside him:
"As long as the Tutaika Yuan Benchu falls, the weak and incompetent Han Fu of Jizhou will be nothing more than fat on his lips and not at our mercy."
