Chapter 454: The Unknown Reality
Is it so exaggerated?
Zhang Liuxian was the first to disbelieve: "I said An Ge'er, is the rest of the world a robber history? No way."
"Big robbers, small robbers, failed robbers, robbers who have the heart of robbers but cannot do anything. Let me give you the most typical example, Qu Yue. Jiaozhi is my land of China, and it has been since the Han Dynasty. The people there were farming, weaving clothes, medicine, copper and iron, all passed down from the Central Plains. So, why do they have to become emperors?"
"Continue." Kou Zhun must have his own ideas, but he is more interested in listening to Liu An's speech.
Zhang Qixian also signaled Liu An to continue.
Liu An said: "What Qu Yue's so-called royal family wants is nothing more than power and wealth. They proclaimed themselves as emperors, forged the so-called national justice, so-called pleading for the people, and so-called no longer being bullied by the Central Plains. What they want is not to be the emperor themselves."
"Then, while cursing the Song Dynasty, they took the opportunity to attack the south. What they were looking for was still wealth, power, and status. As for what the so-called people get, after making a fortune, they would give the people a few drops of oil-carried water."
Kou Zhun asked: "Liu An, what are you trying to do?"
"I am a robber. I want to snatch the whole world. Someone will stand up and scold me for a thousand years. Then cultivate etiquette, orthodox religion, spread benevolence, righteousness and rituals, reshape my orthodox civilization in China, and become a wise man and saint. And I, Liu An, is the one who steals the world and steals the tripod. It is not a country, but a mere Song Dynasty is not worth stealing. Song, the weakest dynasty of the Chinese Han Dynasty as the emperor, is no one, it is the only one."
Zhang Qixian touched his beard and smiled and nodded: "It sounds interesting. Then I ask, is there anyone in the world who can compare with our Chinese in cooking skills?"
"Hahaha." Liu An laughed loudly: "Look forward for three thousand years and then two thousand years. When it comes to cooking, we are the supreme people in the world. Maybe there are some ingredients we have not seen before, but we will definitely eat them when we see them."
"for example?"
"For example, two kinds of potatoes. One is very sweet and delicious when roasted, but if you eat too much, the stomach will be acid-removed. The other is both vegetables and grains. Even if you find it now, it is just ordinary. However, after generations of improvement, the former is in the north for two seasons a year. The first season is 12,000 kilograms per acre, and the second season is 7,000 kilograms."
"Just joking. A mu of 20,000 kilograms a year or two seasons. Will anyone starve to death in the world?" Zhang Qixian said he didn't believe it.
Kou Zhun didn't say anything, he had doubted it for a long time. Many of what Liu An said were ultimately confirmed to be true, but if you ask, there are real records and there are certainly no classics.
So, where did what Liu An said come from?
Even if Liu An started studying from the womb, he would not have accumulated so much knowledge.
What is the truth?
Kou Zhun was observing while waiting for Liu An to say it himself.
Zhang Qixian told Liu An about the per mu of all grain crops in the Song Dynasty, even radish included.
After hearing this, Liu An said, "Another type of product will be called potatoes in the future. I didn't believe it after hearing the highest yield per mu, but I know it is true. The yield per mu is 19,600 kilograms, and the fraction is nothing."
Liu An said it was true. Before he traveled through time, there was a news that a potato yield per mu in a certain place in Gansu was 9.8 tons.
How scary is this data?
Zhang Qixian stretched out a finger: "One acre of land?"
"Maybe a little larger than a mu, it's calculated to be one mu per cent. The amount may be a little different." Liu An knew that the acres in the Song Dynasty and the acres in later generations would be a little different.
Zhang Qixian shook his head: "One acre, twenty thousand kilograms?"
"Not less than 19,000 kilograms."
"joke?"
"real."
Seeing Liu An's seriousness, Zhang Qixian was about to debate again, but Kou Zhun asked, "Where is this thing?"
"I probably know the location, but even if I get it back, I can't reach this data. It will take at least ten years or even fifty years of improvement, and it also needs to study better fertilizers. Perhaps it can exceed ten thousand kilograms."
Kou Zhun asked again: "Where is this thing?"
Liu An stood up, his fingers stuck to water and began to draw: "From Liaodong, it is called Siberia, and then go east. There is a strait called Bering Strait, which will freeze here in winter. According to rumors, more than a thousand years ago, some people from our Shang Dynasty walked eastward from here."
"After crossing the strait, it starts to go south, and the journey is 20,000 miles. When you walk to the Caribbean, this location is on the north-south line and is on the same line as Temasek. From the east-west, it may be about 80,000 miles away from Temasek. Then, further south, there is a great country here, the Mayans, their iron and weapons, which may be far inferior to ours, but their astronomy and calendar are definitely worth learning from."
Liu An painted it with his fingers on water, and Kou Zhun and Zhang Qixian both belonged to the terrifying category with high IQ.
They will never forget it after seeing it, even if the water has dried up, the pictures they had originally drawn are not there.
Liu An continued: "Here, we can find more than a hundred kinds of crops, which are like sorghum, but have sticks on the poles and produce very high yields. There are also the two kinds of potatoes I mentioned, and..."
Kou Zhun interrupted Liu An at this time: "What's the name?"
“What is it?”
“What are these crops called?”
"this……"
"Say, what's the name?" Kou Zhun asked very urgently.
Liu An then replied: "Corn, then sweet potatoes, potatoes, as well as tomatoes in a fruit, as well as American peppers and tobacco. On the fruit, pineapple, and cherries are what I like. Further south, it is the real largest copper mine in the world."
Kou Zhun asked again: "Why are you calling these names?"
"I know that, it's just this name anyway."
After hearing this, Kou Zhun stopped asking because he heard that Liu An had already begun to avoid his questions, so it was not appropriate to force him to ask again and ask again next time he had the chance.
Zhang Qixian poured Liu An a glass of water: "By the way, what are you talking about tomatoes? What are the differences between our persimmons? By the way, is that all?"
Zhang Qixian pulled Liu An to talk about food, but Liu An talked a lot.
Kou Zhun listened as if nothing had happened, but when Zhang Qixian and Liu An were having a happy chat about tomato and egg noodles, Kou Zhun suddenly asked: "The Japanese are very disrespectful to me in the Song Dynasty in the next few hundred years?"
"They are still grandsons for hundreds of years." Liu An himself was stunned.
Kou Zhun pretended not to see it, and the second question came again: "That is, hundreds of years later and hundreds of years, I am very disrespectful to me, the Song Dynasty."
After asking, Kou Zhun stared at Liu An's eyes. Zhang Qixian realized it and sat upright and looked at Liu An.
"I don't know." Liu An shook his head: "Who knows what happened hundreds of years later, probably only Master Yuan Tian of Tang Dynasty."
"It's okay, just ask casually." Kou Zhun immediately started talking: "By the way, the wasabi roots on the Japanese island are used as seasonings, and the taste is really special. In this sweet soy sauce, the fish sashimi is very fresh. Let's go to the beach to see if there are any suitable fish, pick two."
