Every two hundred and eighty-first chapter Zhongtai Plain
Rabbit is just that Renault saw the hare and had a whim. It was not easy to do this. It took a lot of time to choose the location alone. This is because Renault has the God of Wealth and can call the big map. If it is someone else, he will not be able to choose the location in a few years.
The convoy set off again, and this time it was much more purified. Whether it was the water charming or the Jinchuan mine slaves, they all seemed to have seen ghosts. Wherever the convoy passed, within ten miles, there was no living creature in the small village of the mine slaves.
After half a month, the convoy passed through Jinchuan, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and truly entered the Nanzhang. During this period, Renault was naturally not idle. He gave advice from time to time. Song Zhe took action several times and captured the escaped Aoshima masters, and the eight Aoshima masters, and finally escaped only one.
Renault really admires the escaped master. He is so powerful. Under the surveillance of the God of Wealth, he can't find anyone. Even if there is a sky-covering mine, it shouldn't be.
Fei Si was not only smart, but also a person with great perseverance. He felt that the secret master of Da Chu was not simple. He buried himself deep underground and entered the state of turtle breath. He hid for three months and was not ready to come out at all. Moreover, the distance he escaped was not far. The light of Renault was dark, and the search range of the God of Wealth continued to expand. He just swept past the battlefield. Who would have thought that Fei Si was so brave that he did not escape far.
Once you pass the Qinling Mountains, you can feel the changes in the climate, one word: hot!
The dense rainforest in front of you can't see the road. The mountains are green and lush in the distance. Looking around, all the places are green, the air becomes wet, and there are thick fallen leaves under your feet, with the freshness of the plants and trees, mixed with the smell of rotten and dead leaves.
It is difficult to walk on the road, and it is hard to reach the sky. There is no road in the traditional sense here. Most of the trees in the rainforest are unusable and unsuccessful, but they will soar. A big tree that is more than ten meters tall is said to only take ten months to grow to such a tall height, and their life cycle is only three years at most. Some trees will naturally die in less than a year.
There were too many carriages in the convoy. After crossing the Qinling Mountains, the speed immediately dropped. It was originally normal to have a hundred miles a day, but when you arrived at Nanzhang, you could walk thirty miles a day. Everyone had already tried their best.
Thousands of guards were driving the road in front with machetes and paved them with dead branches. Four strong horses still couldn't pull the cart, and they could only add the extra war horses to the cart. The horses in each cart were doubled before they could barely move the cart.
No wonder Da Chu has such a poor mastery of the Southern Palm. Even if you break the road, you can't run fast even if you ride alone. The speed of transmitting information is several times slower than that of the inland Da Chu. If the army sets out, then the speed...
Thinking of this, Renault shook his head. If he had commanded the legion, the result would not be much better. Thinking about the majesty of the Rainforest Legion in the South Palm a hundred years ago, Renault finally had an intuitive understanding of the Rainforest General who had mixed praises and critics.
Even if the Great Chu devoted his country's strength to build a 500,000 Rainforest Army, it would not be easy on this land. How did the Rainforest Army sweep across the Nanzhang? No wonder if it sent a 100,000 army, and 50,000 people would die in the rainforest.
It only took ten days to enter the Nanzhang, and less than four hundred miles forward. Six people had died in the convoy, and countless injured people were injured. Renault was fully prepared and the life-saving pill was scattered out like a money-free one. No matter what disease or injury you had, a life-saving pill would be fed immediately. In this way, people would still die.
Renault did not believe that the Rain Forest Legion had the conditions of the Shengong Hall. Even if the power of the Great Chu nationwide was gathered, the number of life-saving pills could not be greater than that of the Shengong Hall convoy.
"Ruan Ling, where are you now?" Renault called Ruan Ling and asked. From the camera of the God of Wealth, I felt like Mao had just entered the Nanzhang?
The two major prefectures of Nanzhang, Nanzhang and Shuangchengfu, are still so far away from the satellite map, which makes it feel like it is out of reach.
"Sir, we have just entered Nanzhang. The closest one is Ganba Tusi. If you walk southwest for another ten days, you will be Ganba Tusi City." Ruan Ling said.
"Yes." Renault responded and found the nearest city on the map...
Damn, what city is there? Nanzhang, the meaning of "city" is completely different from the city in the inland city of Dachu. A large village with only a few thousand people can be called "city".
To say that the land of Great Chu is vast and the population is sparse, that is the conclusion that Renault compared to the earth. In the eyes of the people of Great Chu, Great Chu is very prosperous, with people walking in a lot of sweat and sweating profusely, and it has nothing to do with the land of great and the population being sparse.
Look at Nanzhang, this place is vast and sparsely populated. It is normal to not see the crowds after walking a hundred miles.
"There are so few people in Nanzhang?" Renault asked Ruan Ling to sit opposite him. The RV in Nanzhang is really not easy to use. Not only is the road difficult to walk, but the weather is also very hot. Renault had to use saltpeter to make ice, and it felt more comfortable to put it in the RV.
"Sir, there are not a few people in the Nanzhang. The immigrants of Da Chu are more than 5 million, the ancestors of Da Chu are eight million, and the chieftains are more than 900, and the population is no less than 10 million. This is not counting the seedlings. No one knows how many seedlings are." Ruan Ling said in confusion.
The Nanzhang is very large, and the Nanzhang is just the name of the people of Great Chu. There is no obvious dividing line in the Nanzhang. If you have to say where is the border, you can only say it is the Maine border city and the Red River border city. However, these two border cities are not considered real border cities. Although they are among the nine borders, they are not controlled by the army of Great Chu, but in the hands of the chieftains.
Toast is a broad term. As long as you are in the Nanzhang area, all heads of all sizes can be called toast. As long as you feel that your strength is strong enough, you can build your own toast. Therefore, toasts often change. It is normal for more toasts this year and fewer next year.
Continuing to go west, it was still the chieftain, the rain forest, and until Qiang Du, and especially the Qiang Du, at this latitude, they were all considered southern palms and were under the control of the chieftain.
If you increase the latitude, you will find that this distance is much longer than the plateau where the forty-eight countries are located. It is an area with an area of more than 10,000 miles from east to west and more than 6,000 miles from north to south.
The southern palm mentioned by Da Chu is just to go west from Shunde Prefecture to Maine, the two border towns of the Red River, and crossing the Red River, it is not considered to be in Da Chu.
In fact, even the Nanzhangfu, the Great Chu may not be able to fully control it. It is entirely because of the remaining power of the Yulin Legion a hundred years ago that the local chieftains dare not refuse to recognize the leadership of the Great Chu.
Standard listening to publicity and not listening to the tune!
"What is seedling?" Renault asked.
"It is the natives of Nanzhang. Today's chieftains should be considered mature Miao. Hundreds of years ago, Nanzhang was divided into two major tribes, Li and Miao. They can be separated from each other from their appearance. The Li people looked similar to the people of Da Chu. Some immigrated overseas. The Miao people are powerful and have a larger number, black, thin and short, and can be seen at a glance. In the rainforest of Nanzhang, there are still many seedlings that survive. They are very ignorant, stubborn, xenophobic, and survive in clans. A clan usually has only a few dozen to a few hundred people. They are good at walking through the forest, jumping on trees like monkeys, using fire, wearing bark clothes, and using poisonous blowing arrows, which is very difficult to deal with."
"Oh..." Renault responded, with a little headache. He had known that the Nanzhang was very messy, but he only realized that it was even more messy than he expected.
During these ten days, Renault got off the car from time to time to see the land, and had lost the idea of growing food. The land of the rainforest is fertile, but it is precisely because it is too fertile that the grain cannot grow even in the rainforest. In the world of Great Chu, it is nonsense that man conquers nature.
If he gave Renault thousands of farm machinery, he would be confident that he would turn the rainforest into mulberry fields, but he could only rely on manpower and animal power here. Let's forget it. The roots of the tree are not cleaned up, and new trees have grown there, and there are still some hairy food.
There is also a harvest in the rainforest. You want to vomit when you eat all kinds of fruits. The water is fascinating. It is difficult to find fruits. The God of Wealth guides you. There are so many fruits you really need. But it’s not bad to eat this thing occasionally. If you really want to eat fruits as food, Renault couldn’t stand it first. After eating for a few days, he would rather continue to chew on the jerky meat.
With so many fruits, whether it is to make canned fruits, or to make fruit wine or juice, they are good choices.
Just forget it. Not to mention the technical difficulties, just a container can make people feel worried. It is impossible to use a clay pot. The clay pot is breathable. As long as it is breathable, it can enter the air. Once the air is in, bacteria can reproduce.
The container must be airtight, glass, fine porcelain, tinplate, stainless steel...
Renault knew that there were many materials suitable for containers, but when you looked at the materials of these containers, Renault was depressed. With these materials, they also produced rosy fruit wine. Selling materials directly is much more valuable than fruit wine.
In fact, Renault had never thought about developing the local economy. He only thought about one thing, that is, food, how can you play without food?
"Ruan Ling, where is the Nanzhang area produced grain?" Renault asked.
"Nanzhang does not produce grain, only fruits and fish. All the grain needs to be trafficked from Dachu or Zotye west of the Honghe River." Ruan Ling is not very familiar with Nanzhang, and her answers to Renault's questions can be found here.
"Zotye?" The map instantly locked an area and continued to go west from the Red River. The rainforest seemed to have been gnawed a few bites, revealing many small plains. When Renault decided to come to Nanzhang, he had already set his sights on this place.
"Yes, Zotye is composed of many small plains, rich in the best pearl rice, which is sweet and delicious, and is the best rice, and the yield is also very high. However, it is extremely difficult to transport it out. It is surrounded by rainforests. It takes one and a half months to transport it from the nearest Zotye Plain to the Red River Border Town. It takes two months to travel to the nearest harbor. Whether the pearl rice is sheathed or not, it will be transported to the place, it will be almost broken. The rainforest is different from the inland of Dachu. The climate is hot and humid, and whether it is rice and flour, it is extremely easy to corrupt."
Renault smiled. It seemed that he was right. What he was most afraid of was that the plains did not produce rice, and if the local toasts were causing trouble, it would be difficult for him to send people to plant them. After all, the distance was too far.
Several lines appeared quickly on the screen, marking the actual distance. The nearest Zotye Plain is only 600 miles away from the straight line by the sea, and the farthest is more than 3,000 miles.
Hot air balloons and airships must be made, distance is not a problem.
