At this moment, Li Er's mouth was open as if it could hold millions of fists, and his eyes were so wide that they even popped out.
This ocean is so huge...
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling... all on the side also fell into a daze.
The surprise and excitement of getting a detailed map.
At this moment, I was completely shocked by seeing the size of Uuchi.
Looking at this huge map...
The war that originally seemed to be a matter of concern to the whole world seemed to have become extremely small and insignificant.
The real world is actually so huge.
The Tang Dynasty was only a small part of the country.
Simply shocking!
Incredibly shocking!
Li Er caressed the map absentmindedly...
"This blue... is actually the sea, so what's on the other side of the sea..."
"On the opposite side of the Tang Coast...what is this?"
Take a deep breath.
Li Er asked this question with a trembling voice.
Such a big two pieces of land...
"This is America. South America and North America are two continents."
"Two...two pieces?!"
Li Er was shocked.
Shock!
There are two continents, each of which is no smaller than the current Tang Dynasty.
It was even larger than the current Tang Dynasty, equivalent to the territory of two or three Tang Dynasties!
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Among the two continents, South America has deep and dense forests and magnificent mountains and rivers. It is infested with snakes and insects and is very dangerous, but it has first-class pastures, which is an excellent place for grazing, even better than Monan."
Even richer.”
"And North America..."
Li Sheng glanced at Li Er and said with a smile, "Almost all of it is plains. In other words, almost all of North America is arable land and good farmland."
Li Er:…………
Wei Zheng:…………
Du Ruhui:…………
Fang Xuanling:…………
Nima.
The entire continent is several times the size of the Tang Dynasty.
It’s all good farmland?!
How many people do you have to feed...how many people do you have to feed?
Oh my god, my god...
Shocking, so shocking!
Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling were all people who worried about the farmland of the Tang Dynasty every day.
They who are familiar with history books know very well that the reason why the Han Dynasty fell was not only because of powerful mergers, but also an important reason...
The boundless desert in the north, the deep mountains and old forests in the south, the vast sea in the east, the extremely cold snow fields by the stream...
Such restrictions have made it impossible for the people of China to find more farmland.
There is not enough farmland!
At this time, there is a famine, and there happens to be some powerful and powerful families in the land. When the people see that I am stinking of wine and meat, right? Then there will be a war all over the place!
There is a nationwide reshuffle. There is nothing to criticize. Everyone has to eat.
But every time the cards are shuffled, at what cost?
At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the end of the Han Dynasty, more than half of the population died each time during the national war.
As you can imagine...
This arable land, which is several times the size of China, was a big shock to Li Er...
Oh my god, this is all cultivated land, good cultivated land.
It would be great if China could own these cultivated lands.
After Li Sheng said the words "all cultivated land", Li Er's eyes immediately turned red.
Everyone was silent for a long time.
For a long time...
After that, Du Ruhui suddenly covered his face and sighed.
"well……"
His sigh seemed to be a signal.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and even Li Er also covered their faces and sighed...
"Naihe, Naihe..."
Everyone sighed and was disappointed.
This land is a good place for farming, but it is located outside the ocean!
I'm afraid the distance is more than ten thousand miles.
If we talk about the Forbidden Army surrounding Chang'an and the shores of the Wei River, it would take them thousands of miles to travel to Northern Xinjiang.
So according to this ratio, compared to riding through thousands of miles of waves...
The distance from Chang'an to Youzhou is probably even closer.
How could the people of the Tang Dynasty reach this distance?
I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it there in the next life!
As a monarch and minister of the Tang Dynasty.
How could Li Er and others not sigh!
However, when everyone kept saying they were helpless, Li Sheng's face was full of doubts.
"Naihe? Naihe what?"
…
Li Sheng's doubts made Li Er and others stunned.
"What the hell..."
"These thousands of miles of fertile land are certainly a good thing, but beyond the thousands of miles of waves, I'm afraid no ship in the world can reach it."
"well……"
"Yes, we can only look forward to it with excitement and sigh with excitement!"
Li Er's regret was very clear.
No matter how good something is, what's the use if you can't touch it?
And compared to being invisible and intangible, being able to see and not being touched is even more painful.
but……
Then, Li Sheng asked curiously, "What are you talking about? How come there is no ship that can arrive?"
"Old Li, your family is a shipbuilder. How big a ship can go and how far you can go? You don't understand this?"
When Li Sheng said this, Li Er and others were stunned.
Can it be reached?
There are ships in the world that can reach thousands of miles away????
Oh my god.
I'm afraid this is not a ship for gods in the sky!
How could there be such a ship!
Just kidding, absolutely impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
How the hell is this possible?!
but……
Amidst these incredible looks, Li Sheng smiled disdainfully.
"Look at how you guys look like these cannons. Aren't they just ocean-going ships? How much can this cost?"
"And let me tell you, this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. Both North and South America are rich in products. When the time comes to get it to China, it will be a huge profit. Once such ships are built, no one will even think about cultivating land.
.”
"How about it, think about it?"
Li Sheng chuckled, his eyes hinting at Li Er.
Li Er swallowed his saliva.
There is only one thought in my mind.
What the hell...
This world is so crazy...
Not only is there countless arable land, but it is also rich in products, and you can make huge profits from trafficking them...
Wouldn't it be easy to hollow out these aristocratic families?
So cool!
It feels good just thinking about it!
But just as Li Er was about to nod vigorously, Fang Xuanling on the side quietly yanked him.
Li Er was startled, and then became discouraged.
Mud, the war has been going on lately, and I really don’t have any extra money to build ships... Go ahead!
But even though he knew that the financial situation did not allow it, Li Er couldn't help but feel a scratching feeling.
So when can we set off?
Urgent to death!
Fortunately, Li Sheng also talked about some situations, which made Li Er calm down a lot.
"...So as you know, although this ocean-going ship is not a black technology, it still requires a lot of new technologies, which will not be available for a while. Of course, to do something less exaggerated, we will first go to Southeast Asia.
Take a look at the property, it’s still okay…”
Li Sheng remembered that there are a lot of fruit seeds in Southeast Asia, and the most important thing...
High quality rice seeds!
Li Er felt dizzy after hearing this.
Is this world really full of treasures??
Boat, boat, boat!
As soon as the war comes to an end, Datang must build ships immediately!
