Chapter 172 Southeast Asia is a good place(1/2)

When Liu Mingqi heard that "sabi" was their main grain, he became interested again: "Is it producing a lot?"

"Many, many! Cut a sago tree and you can get thousands of sago kilograms, which is enough for people in our village to eat for two or three days." Speaking of the familiar fields, Sadodo also said it smoothly: "There are sago trees everywhere on the mountain, and new things are growing every year, and you can't finish them! We poor people can survive because it depends on it!"

"Did you bring Ximi here?"

"Take it!"

"Okay, when you go back later, sell me some, and I'll have a look!" Liu Mingqi smiled.

"Ah?! How dare you let nobles eat such vulgar things?" Saduoduo shook his head quickly.

Of course he knew that this young nobleman just wanted to taste the freshness.

But no problem is fine. If he has diarrhea or something, can he still survive?

It doesn’t have much benefit to give it to a noble person, but if there are bad consequences, he will have to pay his life. How can this be done?

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll let the servants eat first. I'll eat it after they're fine... I'm not a fool."

"oh……"

Sadodo had no choice but to nod, "Okay then! But you'd better eat it after it's cooked."

"good!"

Liu Mingqi's first stance.

In fact, this kind of sago is equivalent to sweet potatoes, and you don’t need to take care of it. Just chop it when the time comes, and start making sago with precipitation and filtration.

Sometimes I feel that people in Southeast Asia are particularly happy. Not only do they not have the worries of coldness, but they also eat too much.

There are endless fish caught by the sea, sago, bananas, coconuts on the ground and in the mountains... and so on, and even bananas are not seasonal at all. They can be harvested all year round and can be cut from trees to eat at any time. Is it?

But why were there not many ancient populations in Southeast Asia?

The reason is that they are very backward in medical conditions and have very low birth rates.

In addition, the various disadvantages of the tropical rainforest climate, such as mosquito miasma, exist anytime and anywhere, and there is no qualified doctor, so it depends entirely on wizards and resistance, so naturally the life span is not high.

The lifespan is not high, the birth rate is low, and the chance of children die prematurely... When these conditions add up, their population is certainly not large.

Oh, by the way, and they often have wars between tribes.

What good population growth can be achieved if you fight and kill?

The real population growth in Southeast Asia was only after the suffering people in China took a boat to travel south, and developed a piece of fertile fields and brought medical treatment and various hygiene habits to improve.

Unfortunately, our Central Plains dynasty was not good at that time, and gave up so many good places in vain, and looked down on the "savage and desolate land".

I'm gonna be!

Just the land in the Central Plains, do you have the nerve to despise others?

If it were replaced by the land in North America, it would be almost the same.

There are only three plains along the coast, and most of the rest are China in the hilly plateau areas. It is fundamentally not suitable for large-scale human survival and reproduction.

The ability to build such a brilliant civilization is entirely achieved through the hard work of our ancestors with drops of blood and sweat!

Liu Mingqi wanted to eat sabi, but it was definitely not because she was greedy.

He wanted to see if the sago can be preserved and transported to Dakang.

If the cost is low and large-scale transportation can be carried out, it can be used to supplement the problem of food shortage.

I dare not say that it can completely relieve it, but at least it can work a little, right?

Just like what many travelers think, by buying rice from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and other places back to the Central Plains, it will be provided to the people of the country for food.

You have to find some way to help the people, otherwise you will be really ashamed of this time travel.

As for why Liu Mingqi had never thought about buying rice from abroad before and came back?

The reason is very simple. Now the people in these places are all the same as those in Southeast Asia. They do not care if they continue sowing, and the harvest depends entirely on God's will - just like the black African millets today!

Only some of them would have people who were farmed and taken care of, and then they would feed the food for the nobles to eat.

Just a little bit, their own citizens are not enough, so where can they satisfy the food of more than 100 million people in the Central Plains?

The same is true in the other world.

It was not until the Age of Discovery that these countries colonized by Europe and the United States, after decades and hundreds of years of "love and whip education", that they knew what intensive cultivation was and that they began to slowly develop agriculture.

Of course, the small countries close to our country are better. There are a large number of Chinese people who escaped from the Central Plains from the Central Plains. They brought advanced farming technology and have gradually made agriculture.

So for now, there is no luxury to buy rice overseas.

Otherwise, with such a developed marine trade as Dakang, it would be Liu Mingqi's turn to think of this method?

People would have done this long ago!

...

Liu Mingqi asked for Sadodo's sago, and his mood suddenly calmed down.

From a certain perspective, the two are familiar with each other.

Moreover, this noble man looks quite kind, much better than the land in his hometown.

Think about the situation just now, and the hundreds of guards and servants inside and outside when they came into this big manor... Is this probably the biggest nobleman nearby?

If you meet such a noble person, someone even invited you a cup of tea. Taking it back to tell your friends on the same boat is also a great show-off!

Sa Duoduo was thinking about it here, and Liu Mingqi signaled Dazhu to take a small bag for him.

"Come on, eat a candy." Liu Mingqi signaled him to open the small bag and eat the candy.

At first glance, Sadodo looked a little familiar with the packaging, but he didn't react.

Following Liu Mingqi's instructions, he peeled the candy paper outside and stuffed the yellow and white sugar inside into his mouth. Saduoduo suddenly felt a strong fragrance.

Sweet and fragrant!

tasty!

I bite it gently and found that it was not hard. After biting it, my mouth became sweeter!

After swallowing a few sips, Sadodo's mouth was full of fragrance.

He has never eaten this fragrance before, or it is impossible to remember it after all.

But in short, it's good, it's delicious!

He quickly looked down at the small bag in his hand and found that there were more than a dozen candies inside. Then he couldn't bear to eat it, so he tied the small bag up and put it in his arms.

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "This is the Big White Rabbit Milk Candy. Have you heard of it?"

"Big...Big White Rabbit Milk Candy!?"

Saduoduo suddenly stood up and his face became ferocious: "Did I eat the big white rabbit milk candy?"

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Qin tightened the hilt.

But Saduo obviously didn't want to rush up and beat Liu Mingqi. He immediately cried and said, "I... how could I eat the big white rabbit milk candy? How good I sold it!!"

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "What? Can you make a lot of money by selling it?"

"right!"

Sadodo gritted his teeth and said, "A bag of big white rabbit milk candy can be sold for fifty taels of silver in us!"

"So expensive!?"

Boss Su, who was rare to interrupt, opened her cute little mouth in surprise.

She didn't like eating candy at first, but she had a special liking for the White Rabbit milk candy. If Liu Mingqi hadn't scared her to have worms, she would have eaten one pack a day on weekdays!

But the Big White Rabbit Milk Candy sold only one or two taels of silver in the Yuwang Mansion store in Beijing!

Although there are purchase restrictions in Beijing, and basically not many people can buy it, it shouldn’t have risen to this level, right?

It's fifty times!!

"It's very normal." Gong Yuan, who was sitting next to her, explained to her, "Even in Jiangnan, they have to sell at least ten taels of silver per pack. This is still the case where the output has increased significantly now! Otherwise, around the Spring Festival last year, they would have to sell twenty taels per pack!"

After Tang Wu's cattle farm gradually got on track, milk production steadily increased.

When most of the output is intercepted to make big white rabbit milk candy, the output will of course increase.

Naturally, these wealthy lands are convenient for more quantity to be invested, thus reducing the price.

Gong Yuan said this and mentioned the increase in production. Liu Mingqi couldn't help but sigh.

Jin Chenbai’s thing this sunny thing!

Just now, the cows and war horses were traded in Zhangjiakou, and then the attack on the Datong Great Wall defense line was launched. At the beginning, it was a crazy attack, but it stopped immediately.

I don’t know what this bastard sells.

The 200,000 border troops, garrisons, and even the imperial guards on the defense lines of Datong, Zhangjiakou, Shuozhou, Yulin, etc., dare not move.

Hebei, which is adjacent to Liaoning and Shanhaiguan, is also on this line, so he dare not move.

This also made the Northeast Liaoxi Corridor, which is now hot, lacked support from the current fierce battle. Li Nanyuan lacked sufficient defense and could only transfer from the two lakes and Jiangxi in the central region.
