Li Sheng got down to business step by step, and Li Er, Wei Zheng and the others suddenly became interested.
"This cassava grows in the southern half of America. Where is this southern half? I can only say..."
As soon as Li Sheng said these words, Li Er and others quietly opened their eyes.
Damn it, does Li Sheng even know something about a place so far away?
This level of erudition is simply beyond what humans can have...
That is completely the level of a god descending to earth.
However... Li Er and others are really curious about what kind of place the "southern half" of "America" is, and are looking forward to it in their hearts.
It must be a good place to have something like cassava!
Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"The landscape of South America is actually not much different from the temperate continents of the Northern Hemisphere. The main difference is that the seasons in South America...are completely opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere!"
"The seasons are...completely opposite?"
Li Er and Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui...
This time I was stunned.
How can things like seasons be completely opposite to those in ordinary places???
Damn... Is this a different world?
So shocking...
Li Er's eyes were opened at this moment.
If it weren't for Li Sheng, how would anyone know that there could be such a place in the world...
"Of course, although the seasons are special, the climate, biosphere, and landforms are also special. You all know that the southern border of China has always been called the miasma land of the south, where snakes and insects are rampant."
"But after all, China has accumulated so many years of development. No matter how wild it is, it can't be any more wild."
"But South America is different..."
Li Sheng squinted and smiled, "Those places are not only completely deserted, but also have abundant rain and extremely dense vegetation. Snakes and insects are often more than twice as big as those here in China, and spiders are as big as puppies.
Centipedes are everywhere, and there are also giant anacondas and pythons... Just think about their size."
When Li Sheng said this, everyone looked horrified.
Wei Zheng was even more worried. South America sounded a bit scary...
"If that's the case, then how can a place like this... be considered a foundation?"
Wei Zheng directly told Li Er, as well as the thoughts of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling around him.
As he said, the reason why China is called China is because the density of rivers and lakes in the core area of China is just right. There are enough water resources to use, and there are no frequent floods.
This South America... doesn't sound like a place that can be cultivated.
But Li Sheng smiled and said something surprising.
"Of course things are not that simple... In the past, there was no such thing as water conservancy projects in China, so they didn't dare to settle near rivers? It wasn't because they had developed water control techniques that they gradually gathered on the banks of rivers..."
"As your ability to transform nature increases, the ways you can play will naturally become more and more wild..."
Li Sheng did not elaborate on the social science logic involved, and then went back to South America.
"Although South America has huge rainfall, it cannot simply be regarded as a miasma land. On the one hand, there are snakes and insects everywhere in those places, and on the other hand, there are huge trees everywhere. These places where giant trees are everywhere are also called
The lungs of the earth..."
"The lungs of the earth?"
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others looked at each other in horror.
This name is too big for them to imagine...
In such a wild jungle where snakes and insects are rampant, there is a huge lung...
It’s so scary, so grand!
After talking about the situation in South America, Li Sheng then talked about cassava.
"This cassava is produced in that rainforest. As I said just now, this rainforest is densely populated with snakes and insects. Whether it is centipedes or spiders, they are several times larger than ordinary ones. All kinds of insects eat the crops in the same way. This
Cassava grows extremely quickly...it is precisely because of the pressure of insect bites, in other words, it is forced out."
"In addition to this, there is another point. There are huge trees in the rainforest, and the plants growing below are often extremely short of sunlight. In this case, once plants such as cassava are planted in a sunny place, their growth rate will also decrease.
Far better than when we were in the rain forest before..."
…
According to Li Sheng's description, Li Er, Wei Zheng and others were almost unconscious on the spot.
Good guy, this cassava is already more nutritious than potatoes and sweet potatoes, but now...
Li Sheng told himself again that if this thing were to leave the fiercely competitive rainforest, its growth rate would be even more exaggerated.
Then if you introduce me to the Tang Dynasty...
Doesn’t this really become a divine thing??…
Oh my god, this...
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others glanced at each other, and everyone saw the extreme excitement in each other's eyes.
Our Datang Dynasty must introduce this thing!
Almost without even exchanging glances, everyone recovered from the shock, and then they smiled playfully at Li Sheng in tacit understanding, and put their arms around each other...
"this……"
"Xiao Li, our brothers...have been treating you well for such a long time, right? So what..."
"no……"
Li Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, "You guys treat me badly, what the hell..."
"Hey, hey, hey! We're not doing this all for the Tang Dynasty, why are we so divided?" Li Eryi smiled playfully, and then talked about another matter.
"We, my brothers, are all small traders in Chang'an City... I have been worried about running out of projects recently. Brother, tell me..."
Li Sheng understood it as soon as he heard it, and curled his lips angrily, "No project to make money? No project to make money? You won't go to Lingzhou. There are plenty of business opportunities there, but aren't they enough for you to make a fortune?"
"Hey... Hehehe, isn't this place in Lingzhou a bit far away..."
"Um……"
Li Sheng shook his head angrily. To put it bluntly, these guys are still in Chang'an. They are used to living a comfortable life and don't want to move without big profits.
but……
Although Li Sheng knew that Lao Li and the others were just complaining, they mainly wanted to engage in cassava and try to develop business in South America... This is of course also a good thing.
But as they said, after all, South America is across the ocean and is still a bit far away. Moreover, even if we want to explore overseas, the development of Lingzhou and Anxi Protectorate cannot be stopped.
Li Er and these guys are already doing the whole job, let's see if they can get some more wool...
After all, this cassava is so tempting.
However, Li Sheng pondered for a moment and actually answered their complaints.
"What you said makes sense. Lingzhou is indeed a bit too far away."
"But... after a while, I can show you something. When you finish reading it, you will naturally understand."
Li Sheng said and smiled slightly, this "looking at something" is nothing else, naturally...
This is the "steam cattle" that Lao Li has been thinking about for a long time!
