This shameful title will probably follow him for a long, long time.
But to be honest, he actually feels relaxed now. It has been too long since he was called the "sage of the world". The almost perfect personality almost makes him breathless.
Self-deprecating appropriately.
Tell the world that you are not that perfect.
He is also an ordinary person.
We are human and we make mistakes.
They are people, not sages.
Time will make people forget some things.
Thinking of this, he continued to lower his head and started writing vigorously.
Because he knows that the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce is currently supporting too many large projects. The Grand Canal is still being excavated, and the Yinliang Industrial Corridor has just begun. These two are both money-burning projects. This time
, here comes another Liaodong Special Economic Zone.
The pressure on Liangzhou must be great.
fine.
Liangzhou's current industrialization process is rapid. Moreover, all the goods produced in Liangzhou are still in the most profitable stage. Liquor, perfume, soap, weapons, equipment, these things are all huge profits.
But Liu Zheng had to realize that there was a terrible problem.
That is, the impact of the Little Ice Age on the land of Liaodong in the seventeenth century.
The so-called Liaodong region refers to the three northeastern provinces in his previous life. In Liu Zheng's memory, the Liaodong region was quite active during the Little Ice Age. The Jurchens in the north, facing the problem of no food to eat, have been trying to
Going south. This means that these aborigines and ethnic minorities in Liaodong have been looking for a place more suitable for survival.
fine.
In the Longyan Dynasty, the Jurchens were not as powerful as they were in the previous life. Perhaps because of the Qiang tribe, the Jurchens were not allowed to rise. This also made Liu Zheng feel relieved.
There was no large-scale resistance from the indigenous people, which was a good thing.
But Liu Zheng must consider the Little Ice Age.
The Little Ice Age refers to the period from about 1350 to 1850 in history. At that time, the average annual temperature in many areas, including China, was lower than later. Severe droughts and floods occurred one after another in the summer, and the winter was extremely cold. And in the ten
The seventh century, which is now the juncture, also happens to be the peak period of this Little Ice Age.
In ancient times, bad weather could easily affect the stability of a country.
The people have nothing to eat, so why wait?
For example, during the Little Ice Age in the 17th century, Li Zicheng's uprising triggered by a severe drought in Chongzhen directly led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
In the 19th century, a severe drought in the southwest during the cold phase of the Little Ice Age triggered the Taiping Rebellion, which dealt a major blow to society at that time.
The Thames froze, strong winds flattened British communities, and thousands of farmers died of famine.
The most notorious fire occurred in London.
The Black Death swept through Europe.
Various storms began to engulf the farm.
Half the population of Norway and Sweden perished in the famine.
Parts of Ethiopia in Africa are covered in snow.
Lake Superior on the American continent begins to freeze.
Even the most famous Crusades in Europe were a massive war started because of the overpopulation and insufficient food in Europe at that time, in order to find a way for these people to survive.
certainly.
Opportunities also emerged at this time.
At this time, the Europeans were poor and wanted to change. In their predicament, they discovered pointed-bottomed boats that were more resistant to wind and waves. They took fishing boats and when they had no food to eat, they actually discovered two world-class fishing grounds -
—Labrador, Newfoundland. However, because there was no preservation technology at the time, they could only make canned cod and send it back to Europe, which saved many people's lives.
With the development of fishing routes, they discovered the West Indies and the American continent.
Thus, a large-scale colonial activity began.
During this period, European countries began to appear in person, such as Spain, Portugal, and so on.
By the seventeenth century, the Netherlands and Britain had become the two most powerful countries in Europe at that time.
Looking at the current situation, the decline of the Longyan Dynasty is actually closely related to the Little Ice Age.
Fiscal revenue has dropped sharply, and people cannot afford to eat.
Coupled with the backwardness of the system and various reasons, Long Yan is now dying and getting old.
so.
At this time, refer to the development history of Europe.
Reclaiming the land of Liaodong is a challenge, but it is also an opportunity.
The challenge is because the conditions will definitely be more difficult and the process will be difficult.
But what about the opportunities? If the reclamation is successful, it will greatly solve the food problem of Longyan Dynasty. During this climate disaster that is raging around the world, if Longyan can solve the food problem, it will definitely help Longyan continue to stand on top of the world.
Provided a solid foundation.
