I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

All in all, there are no clear texts on these distinctions, but they are indeed unspoken rules in the Ming court circle.

Therefore, although the Son of Heaven did not come in person, and did not even confer the title of Imperial Envoy of Yi Guobing, Mr. Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty still did not dare to entrust himself to this second-rank official. The etiquette is properly arranged.

On September 15, [-], at the Cape Town Stadium, the Sun and Moon Flag of the Great Ming Dynasty and the Partridge Flag of the Southern Tang Dynasty were raised gradually, and "The Great Ming Dynasty Punishes the World" and "Li Guogong Music" were played successively.

Chapter 876 Primary Industry

Winter and summer in South Africa are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere.

It was still a bit cold in South Africa at the end of September, but as the game progressed, the temperature became more and more comfortable.

Two months passed quickly.

Dewu's 15 years has finally come to an end.

The climate in South Africa is hot, and the competition is hot, but Fengdu is already covered in silver.

The climate around the world is much colder this year.

You must know that the Seattle area where Fengdu is located, although the latitude is very high, is farther north than Hegang, the legendary housing estate depression.

However, due to the influence of warm currents, the northwestern part of the North American continent, like the northwestern part of the Eurasian continent, has a temperate marine climate with warm winters and cool summers, with little temperature difference between the four seasons.

In previous years, even if it snowed in Seattle in winter, the snow would not be too heavy. It is completely different from cities on the east coast of the mainland like Beijing and New York.

Once in later generations, 20 centimeters of snow fell in Seattle, and the whole city was paralyzed as a result, which is enough to show that the relationship between this city and heavy snow is not close.

However, the first snowfall in Dewu in the winter of 15 was earlier and more intense than in previous years.

In fact, according to the statistics of the Royal Meteorological Bureau of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Shenzhou or Yinzhou, the temperature in Dewu in 15 has been low throughout the year.

There is a saying that factors such as whether the monarch is wise or not, whether there are competent officials, whether there are foreign enemies invading, whether the land annexation is serious, etc. are not actually the underlying logic of the ancient Chinese dynasty cycle law.

There is only one underlying logic that really affects destiny, and that is temperature.

Looking at the average annual temperature change curve for thousands of years, it is amazing to find that every time the temperature drops sharply, it is the time of troubled times.

On the contrary, if the climate is warm, then there is a high probability that it will be a prosperous time.

The Han and Tang Dynasties were warm periods. Not only was the food production in the Central Plains stable, but large tracts of land suitable for cultivation also appeared in the northern part of the country, especially in the Northeast, which attracted the Central Plains dynasty.

Therefore, the fighting power of the farming stalwarts in the Central Plains exploded in an instant, with one Han as the five Hus, and a long car going out to the north of the Great Wall.

And when the Ice Age came, not only were natural disasters and peasant uprisings continued throughout the Central Plains, but also the barbarians outside the Great Wall were forced to band together and go south to rob due to the extreme weather.

The Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are all like this.

Unfortunately, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was precisely the time when the average annual temperature in the history of the land of China was the lowest since the Yangshao Great Warm Period.

Therefore, the old uncle Chongzhen hanged himself on the crooked neck tree, maybe it was not his fault, but just God's will.

In fact, the Little Ice Age that started at the end of the Ming Dynasty has not yet ended. From time to time, there will be convulsions, and anecdotes such as the freezing of the West Lake will come out.

The great famine in India in the past two years was an abnormal climate, and it continued into this year.

The continuous low temperature has led to a reduction in global crop production, which is also the objective reason for European countries to speed up their brains.

The more food is scarce, the more war is necessary.

If you win, you will eat, but if you lose, you will have at least a few mouths to eat.

However, this global food shortage did not affect Daming.

After selling all the production equipment of a small chemical fertilizer factory on the verge of bankruptcy in a small county in Jiangxi, the grain yield per mu of the Daming Production and Construction Corps has continued to increase in the past two years.

Of course, Daming's industrial imitation ability is already quite good.

With the help of Mr. Guo, a special advisor to the Ministry of Industry, the engineers of Daming also opened up the road to imitation of these equipment imported from Japan at the beginning of the Kaikai period in the last century.

It doesn't matter even if the performance of the imitated machine is slightly worse, Daming wins by quantity.

Moreover, what Daming used to extract nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were rich ores, and the difficulty of processing was much lower than that of the small chemical fertilizer factory in Jiangxi.

These days, there are treasures everywhere.

Not to mention anything else, the guano on Nauru Island has not been developed yet.

Nauru hangs alone in the Pacific Ocean and was once an island under the name of the British Empire.

The Spanish Governor of Guam also claimed that Nauru was under his jurisdiction.

However, such a small coral reef island 60 kilometers south of the equator, in the center of the Pacific Ocean, with a diameter of only 6 kilometers, Britain and the West did not even bother to argue about it.

Historically, it was not until 1888 that the Germans secretly occupied it.

It’s all tears to say, the time for Germany to complete industrialization was too late, and it perfectly missed the colonial era.

So much so that such a small broken island was reluctant to give up, and specially sent someone to handle it.

However, soon the Germans were surprised to find that this small island that does not even have fresh water resources is full of treasures!

For millions of years, seabirds have bred and lived on Nauru, and their droppings have accumulated over time, forming phosphate ore.

This treasure house suddenly became the target of the great powers.

Even Japan once got involved, sending a full 6 soldiers to this 2000-kilometer-diameter island during World War II.

After the war, Nauru's per capita GDP once crushed a lot of oil tycoons and European powers through brainless mining of phosphate rock, ranking among the top few in the world.

They built highways and golf courses on this small island, and all the citizens lived a life of spending money like water, making it the country with the highest obesity rate in the world.

However, in just half a century, the phosphate rocks on the island were exhausted, and Nauru fell from heaven to hell.

In this time and space, Ming declared war on the Spaniards, allies of the French, in the Second Ming-French War.

Moreover, after Ming accepted the surrender of the three emperors, he never signed an armistice agreement with Spain, and the two countries have been in a state of war.

Two years later, father-in-law Li Chunfa, the soul of the Ming Navy and eternal Nanyang admiral, went to Nanyang for disaster relief and weight-loss trips. By the way, he bombarded Manila Bay and recovered Luzon Island occupied by the Spaniards.

When Li Chunfa father-in-law brought a 1.8-ton Bornean elephant, a 1-ton Javan rhinoceros, an 80-kg Sumatran tiger... When a group of younger brothers and beasts returned to Fengdu to present treasures to Long Live God, they passed through Nauru and Mark it as Ming's inherent territory.

But now, as Ming completely expelled all Western forces from the Pacific Ocean and turned the Pacific Ocean into an inland sea, the little Nauru naturally became an island actually controlled by Ming.

To be honest, Ming’s attitude towards Nauru is not much different from that of Nauruans in later generations.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui's order is to excavate the island's phosphate rock resources as quickly as possible and as much as possible without considering any environmental issues.

After all, even if a small island with a diameter of 6 kilometers is destroyed, it doesn't matter to Daming.

And the resources it contains are enough for Daming to not have to worry about phosphate rock within 20 years.

As for the aborigines on the island...

Now there are only three to five hundred aborigines on the entire island, living a primitive life of fishing and hunting.

From the perspective of ethnic analysis, Nauruans, like Polynesians, belong to the Austronesian race.

The Nandao people are also a branch of Dongyi. Although many primitive aborigines have merged along the way, they are still relatively advanced races, so they cannot be uneducated.

The Ming court is willing to give them a chance to work and become employees of the Nauru Branch of the Royal Mining Group of the Ming Dynasty, and directly obtain Zhuka and become citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

If this kind of treatment is given to the Japanese and Koreans, I am afraid that their eyes will turn red with jealousy.

But there is no way, the family does have a mine, and Daming is not a person who steals by chance.

There are only a few hundred aborigines, of course Daming is willing to support them.

Unexpectedly, however, it seems reasonable that the natives of Nauru are not very willing to participate in work, let alone obey discipline.

They prefer to play with coconuts in hula skirts.

In fact, later generations have never dug phosphate rock by themselves.

Instead, foreign capital and mining companies mine on their islands and share a little profit with them.

After all, Nauru itself has an average of two to three hundred catties per capita, so it is impossible to work at all.

This is almost a common problem of tropical people, and Da Ming has no good solution.

But raising the Nauruans as pigs, giving them something for nothing, and then letting these pigs fend for themselves after the resources on the island are exhausted, this also makes His Majesty Zhu Fugui feel unbearable, and it is very unfair to other Ming citizens.

Although my Ming Dynasty has fifty million citizens, there is absolutely no one who is idle. Everyone must support themselves, except for the elderly.

In the end, after research, Honglu Temple decided to respect the wishes of the leaders of the Nauru tribes and resettled them to the Tasmanian Primitive Tribal Reserve.

And according to the agreement, the Da Ming pilots will give their tribe extra care when they drop supplies every year.

Tasmania is larger than Tongliao, nearly two Taiwans, and many times larger than tiny Nauru.

Although there are already many primitive tribes resettled by Ming from Andaman, Borneo, Java, Papua New Guinea and other places on the island, the population density is still extremely small.

Nauruans are very satisfied with this place. Except that it is slightly colder than their hometown, other conditions are very good. After a while, there will be food and utensils bestowed by the sky. Nauruans call this "promise with the gods".

In this regard, Zhu Fugui can only say, 'Give you a chance, you are useless, you! '

In any case, just one Nauru can meet all of Daming's phosphate rock needs, and has made great contributions to Daming's grain production and income.

Zhu Fugui named the fertilizer produced by the Royal Fertilizer Factory [Jingkela Brand].

One thing to say, this name is really good, simple and clear, very down-to-earth, and also in line with the noble atmosphere of royal products.

The word [kela], many people will think it is Manchu.

There are many half-buckets of water in later generations, or people with ulterior motives say that a long list of words such as "hole", "roller", and "gata" are all Manchu.

Baidu Encyclopedia even pretends to be so popular.

It seems that whenever a word is disassembled and the individual words do not make sense, it is Manchu or Mongolian.

This statement is actually very wrong.

Words such as [洞], [轮形], and [Kela] are not only Manchu vocabulary, but even the lowest inherent vocabulary in Chinese.

For example, the word [wheel] is very old.

It is so old that it is even older than the Han nationality and the Huaxia race. This is a word that existed before the separation of the yellow and white races, at least the two heroes of the Zhuxia and Indo-European human races.

And its ancient pronunciation is called [轮罗], and the Chinese miraculously preserves its original flavor. Compared with other speakers of the Beifeng language family, the Chinese pronunciation is closest to the ancient pronunciation.

(Beifeng language was a common language used by the yellow and white races about 1.5 years ago. The differences between Chinese and English are far smaller than the differences between Chinese and black Africans, Australian aboriginals and other ethnic groups.)

Of course, this is nothing to be proud of, after all, the original is not necessarily good, and some other words may be better preserved in English than in Chinese.

However, from this point of view, it would be ridiculous for some people with ulterior motives to say that [轮轮] does not conform to Chinese habits, and that it is a foreign word.

In fact, there are still many words in Chinese that are variants of [轮形], which gradually evolved, such as [洞], [圆], [车], [路]...

The word [车] may seem unimaginable, but in fact linguistics is able to verify the detailed process of its evolution from [轮罗] step by step.

In Japanese, [car] can be called [轮轮马], and in Latin [car] is called [currus] (sound: Kulululusi). This is not a coincidence, but they themselves were called wheel-shaped in ancient times. The thing is the wheel.

In English, [轮轮] evolved into [cycle], [wheel], [colony], and [car] step by step.

So it is amazing that [圈] and [cycle], [车] and [car], [路] and [road] are all cognate words that have been lost for more than 1 years.

What's even more weird is that in Sanskrit in the Indo-European language family, [轮轮] also evolved a word that is close to the evolution direction of [car] - [cakras].

That's right, [cakras] is Chakra...

All in all, His Majesty Zhu Fugui has far-sightedness and is determined to use the noble name [Jinkela] as a gift to his people. I hope everyone will be full of chakra.

Jinkela also lived up to the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor. It provided nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium frantically for Daming's fine-grown crops. Under the normal rainy and hot conditions this year, it still guaranteed Daming's goal of 100% grain self-sufficiency.

And there is a large amount of rich food for raising livestock, brewing wine, making non-staple food, aiding vassal states, and exporting.

Of course, although Daming's own agricultural products were enough to eat, Zhu Fugui still imported a lot of agricultural products to later generations.

The reason is similar to the reason why later generations of rabbits imported Thai basmati rice and Indian broken rice.

Thai rice is used to adjust the taste, while Indian rice is too cheap, and it would be a pity not to buy it to feed livestock.

Of course, from an overall point of view, the Ming Dynasty still focused on exporting agricultural products to future generations.

Among them, seafood is the main force doing my part.

With the overfishing of the United States and Canada in later generations, the number of snow crabs that once spread across the North Pacific has become less and less, and the distribution latitude has become higher and higher.

As a large number of benthic organisms in cold waters, the growth cycle of snow crabs is much longer than that of ordinary freshwater crabs.

An adult snow crab takes 10 years to grow.

Overfishing by Americans and Canadians has made recovery of snow crab populations nearly impossible.

On the other hand, Europeans and Americans who claim to be environmentally friendly and protect wild animals, accuse the Chinese of eating shark fins, do not want to stop their consumption of this delicious crab.

In addition, when fishing for snow crabs in the colder Arctic, the working conditions of fishing workers are getting worse and the wage requirements are higher.
