Liu Jin's family was sitting in the RV talking and laughing.
To be honest, Liu Jin is quite satisfied with the current way of traveling. He will not be tired wherever he goes, it is very relaxing and comfortable.
When you are tired from driving, you can take a nap in the car. When you wake up, you can sit by the window and look at the scenery on both sides of the road. There is nothing to worry about. When you encounter a place you like, you can also ask the team to stop and have fun.
These followers, servants, and servants under me will arrange everything properly so that my family can play comfortably.
This is life, this is enjoyment, this is travel.
The tourism in later generations is really far different from this.
The scenic spots are basically surrounded by people, and there are people everywhere. There are huge crowds of people, whether you want to see the scenery or to see the people.
There is also excessive commercialization, which makes tourists' travel experience worse and worse. Many people no longer like to travel, but choose to travel by car in a group, driving to unknown places by themselves, but they can experience different things.
Scenery and taste different delicacies.
It’s different now. There are scenic spots and beautiful scenery everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. You can look around and see them all for free. Even going to some well-known scenic spots in later generations is still free. Travel is still a big deal for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
A fresh vocabulary.
Only those who are really rich and those who are leisurely and leisurely will travel. For ordinary people, there is no such thing as traveling now. It is just driving around around themselves.
Of course, there are very few people who can travel as luxuriously as Liu Jin. Very few people can travel in a convoy. There are followers, servants, and servants. Everything is prepared. The key is
Yes, it's not bad money.
From the perspective of future generations, if you have such conditions, you will naturally be comfortable wherever you go, and you cannot compare them with ordinary people.
"Look, look!"
"Lots of horses, camels and sheep!"
At this time, Li Zhen looked at the horses, camels and sheep appearing on the vast grassland outside the window and shouted excitedly.
"parking!"
When Liu Jin saw it, he immediately became energetic and ordered the servants next to him. Soon, the entire convoy came to a slow stop, and the servants quickly prepared everything.
When Liu Jin, Xu Waner, Li Zhen and others got out of the car, tables, chairs, tea, snacks, etc. were all ready. Liu Jin and the others could drink tea while admiring the grassland scenery in front of them.
"This herd of horses, camels and sheep is quite large. It must be at least several thousand in size."
"Look at this, these are still wild horses, wild camels and wild sheep!"
Liu Jin held a telescope and carefully observed the horses, camels and sheep living carefree on the vast grassland in front of him.
After searching the surroundings carefully, no shepherds were seen, and there were no marks on these animals. There was no doubt that these were wild animals.
When such a huge group of wild animals gather together, it feels a bit like the scenes of animal migration in the African savanna shown in later documentaries.
Thousands of wild horses, thousands of wild camels, and thousands of wild sheep are carefree at this moment foraging on the grasslands with abundant water and grass.
At that time, Liu Jin led his army to sweep across the Western Regions and the Hezhong area. In the Hezhong area, the Ming Dynasty cavalry swept across all directions. Wherever they passed, rivers of blood flowed and countless people were killed. They directly killed and expelled the Central Asian nomadic tribes here.
As a result, the vast Hezhong area is deserted except for a few Han immigration points. In some places, there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles.
This gave the wild animals in the river area a lot of living space and resources, allowing these wild horses, camels, wild sheep, etc. to flourish and thrive.
As decades passed, the population grew larger and larger, gradually occupying the uninhabited grassland areas in the Hezhong area, forming the most distinctive wildlife community here.
These huge groups of wild animals can be seen from time to time on passing cars and trains, and they have become a major feature here.
“It’s better to have a vast land and few people!”
"If people live an easy life, even wild animals can live an easier life!"
Looking at this huge group of wild animals, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Think about future generations, with more people and less land, less resources, and wild animals are almost extinct, such as wild horses, wild camels, wild sheep, etc., their numbers are extremely rare, and they have even become extinct.
Wherever there are wild animals, there will inevitably be a large number of poachers, especially some rare and valuable ones. Poaching will become even more rampant, and even protected areas cannot protect them.
The current Ming Empire is different. There are only a few hundred million people, but they are spread over such a vast land. It can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated everywhere, and there are sparsely populated areas everywhere.
The people of the Ming Dynasty can live a comfortable and relaxed life, and the animals in nature can also live a relaxed life.
If there is not enough living space for such a huge herd of wild horses and camels, how can they multiply and grow to this extent?
It also shows how wealthy the people of the Ming Dynasty were. Faced with such a huge group of wild animals, no one even caught these wild horses and camels.
The people in the Hezhong area are very wealthy. It is considered the richest province in the Ming Dynasty, and is no worse than the Beijing-Tianjin area.
The river is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is fertile. From the beginning, mechanized farming has been implemented, and every household has tens of thousands of acres of land and breeding farms.
This is the most important granary and meat warehouse of the Ming Dynasty. Relying on planting and breeding, the people in the river can live a very good life. Who has time to catch these wild horses and camels?
In addition, the prices of horses, cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock in the Ming Empire have dropped significantly. The prices of beef and mutton are only a few cents more expensive than the prices of pigs.
Such prices can be said to be very cheap. The prices of horses, cattle and sheep are low. Naturally, no one has much motivation to catch these wild animals.
The price is low, it’s hard to catch, there are great risks, and life is rich.
Unlike later generations, ordinary people live under great pressure, so they will naturally find ways to make money and live a better life. Places with wild resources will almost always be swept away, and everyone is scrambling to be the first.
I am afraid that I will lose and not be able to grab it.
Just like the supermarket activities in later generations, as long as it is free or discounted, people will definitely rob it all in a very short period of time.
Many people say that this is a problem of quality and the bad nature of the Chinese people. Look at foreigners, they are not like this. There is no one to catch wild geese and ducks around.
This is actually very one-sided and discriminatory.
We have a large population and high pressure, so we naturally have to fight for everything. But places like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are different. They have vast land, sparsely populated areas, abundant resources, and high per capita income.
Therefore, they have less pressure to compete and survive, which naturally leads to a higher tolerance for everything around them. This is like the difference between the rich and the poor.
If we were to switch to other places with high competition pressure and high survival pressure, such as South America and other regions, the situation would actually be the same, or even worse than ours.
The current situation of the Ming Empire is similar to that of those developed areas in Europe and the United States in later generations. The people live a prosperous life, have high incomes, a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and little competition pressure. This naturally makes them more tolerant of nature, even if there are a large number of wild animals.
, and no one goes to capture and hunt.
That’s why this river area can have such a huge group of wild animals!
I worked so hard to build such a huge territory for the Ming Dynasty and seize most of the land and resources in the world, just for this day.
The reason is that even the dogs of the Ming Dynasty have to live a better and more comfortable life than people in other parts of the world.
Just like the later generations, why do many people worship foreigners and try their best to immigrate abroad? Even if they live like dogs in the past, they are unwilling to come back. In the final analysis, the gap is actually too big. It is easy to live abroad.
Can live a good life.
This situation lasted until the 21st century and then gradually improved. In the 1980s and 1990s, the salary of domestic university professors was not even as high as that of waiters and dishwashers in other restaurants.
"Ouch!"
When Liu Jin was lost in thought while looking at the huge group of wild animals, on a mountain in the distance, the wolf king was howling at the sky, followed by dozens of fat and strong adult wolves.
Liu Jin quickly looked over through the binoculars. At first glance, these wolves seemed to be alive and well. Each one was huge. It was obvious that there was no shortage of food here. There were huge groups of wild animals, and the wolves could live a good life.
These wolves feed on these sheep and horses, but it is also because of these wolves that humans are less likely to go deep into this vast no-man's land, and their rise in disguise is also protecting these animals.
"Not bad!"
“When you go to South Africa, you must go and see the African grasslands!”
