Many people in mainland Australia say that ancient China's maritime technology was so strong, why didn't it be discovered?

In fact, according to a local report, a well-preserved mahogany ship was found on the southeast coast of Australia. According to the analysis of carbon 14, about 600 years ago. At that time, only the Ming Dynasty in the world had the ability to build mahogany ships.

But why there is no record of Chinese people in the Australian continent? First of all, the Australian continent is not a good place. Before the colonists entered, Australia was actually a land that was not suitable for survival, especially in the northern region facing China, which is today's Darwin and Cape York. There are basically deserts and tropical savannas, and there are many ferocious beasts that are unheard of in China.

Even today, in northern Australia, only Darwin has a sporadic population, and most of the population in Australia is located on the east side of the Great Divide on the eastern coast and in h.

Before the arrival of colonists, there were crocodiles, poisonous frogs, etc. in the coastal swamps in northern Australia that like to attack humans. Even indigenous people near the Indonesian archipelago, there were few records of them reaching northern Australia and settling for a long time in history. Local indigenous people are mainly distributed on both sides of the Torres Strait, and their ancestors are more from Oceania rather than from Asia.

Another more important reason is that the Australian continent is lonely overseas, and the Chinese always have the idea that they are hard to leave their hometown. When sailing in time, they also walk along the coastline. Occasionally, if they are far away from the coastline due to storms or other factors, they may not be able to return, so they are even more determined that the sailors at that time did not go to the far sea.

Besides, the ancient Chinese looked down on any land outside China or the Central Plains. Even if someone discovered the Australian continent, they would not regard such a major geographical discovery as a matter of major. What the person thought in his heart was that there was such a place overseas, and people were indeed uncivilized barbarians.

Moreover, the ancient Chinese ruling class did not support the navigators to explore overseas. The person who had probably discovered the Australian continent had no chance to report the discovery of such an enclave, and even if it was reported, it would not attract attention.

Only Li Zhan will be interested in the Australian mainland, and only Li Zhan can make Li Shimin interested in the Australian mainland.

What Li Zhan said so well on the Australian mainland just now is actually to make Li Shimin interested in the Australian mainland. Li Zhan is for Li Cheng and also for himself, because developing the ship industry is the best way to keep pace with the world. If you vigorously develop the ship industry and sailing at this time, there may be a different result.

Li Zhan just made some effort to the future.

Li Cheng, who was on the other hand, also knew that it was difficult to go to the Australian mainland. What he said just now was to attract Li Shimin. If the Australian mainland was really so easy to go, what else would he do in business? Just drive a boat to get gold and silver.

Li Cheng and Li Zhan drew a big cake for Li Shimin, but it was difficult to eat this big cake. At least Li Shimin can't do it now. However, giving some bonuses to Li Shimin is OK, just get some gold and silver.

So Li Cheng looked at Li Zhan and said, "I also know that there is a place that produces gold and silver."

Li Zhan was about to leave, but after hearing Li Cheng's words, Li Zhan turned around and smiled: "My father-in-law, you know enough places. You even know that there is a place that produces gold and silver. Can you tell the son-in-law where it is?"

"Water Island!" Li Cheng said without hesitation.

"Watou!" Li Zhan laughed loudly. Waitou is a world-wide gold and silver producer in history.

The island of Wa was a small island that contributed about 5% of the world's gold before it was developed in the Americas. At the beginning of the Age of Discovery, one-third of the world's annual silver production was produced in the island of Wa. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, silver was imported (smuggled) from the island of Wa.

Since the gold and silver mining history of the Wa Island is very long, most of the discovered gold and silver deposits have been exhausted (some mines have been continuously mined for hundreds of years), the current gold and silver production of the Wa Island is not high. However, due to the natural factors of the Wa Island, if necessary, it is very likely to discover new gold and silver mines.

However, at this time, Li Zhan said: "My father-in-law, don't forget that there is a country on the Japanese island. If you go there to get gold and silver, it is smuggling. They have an army. If they don't want to give it to you, have you ever thought about these issues that can be killed directly?"

"These questions!" Suddenly, Li Cheng showed a mysterious smile at Li Zhan and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Clam!" Li Zhan was speechless and cursed the silly old man in his heart.

The next day, Li He's conviction came out. This guy, Li He, had not only sold weapons and armor for the Western Turks, but also bought weapons and armor for the Eastern Turks in his early years.

The most interesting thing is that Li He and the Lotus Club both have business dealings, and can be said to be a military weapon merchant.

All the crimes he convicted were the biggest and fastest killing. The red stamp painted by Li Shimin on the same day was killed.

As for Li Kong, he had many charges, but Li Kong sentenced him to kill the prison guard, and the prison guard was to start the execution in the autumn of the tenth year of Zhenguan.

Many people must want to know why ancient people asked for the death of the autumn. Haha, the emergence of this phenomenon is related to the values ​​of the ancients.

The ancients believed that disasters, plagues, auspiciousness and good fortune on the earth were given by God, so all people's behaviors must conform to God's will. Spring and summer are the seasons for all things to grow, and autumn and winter are the seasons for slaughtering and hiding. Therefore, the execution of autumn and winter is in accordance with God's will.

There were other members of the Longyou family. To be honest, none of them had clean backgrounds. After arriving at Dali Temple, they were casually coaxed and scared by Sun Fujia several times, and these people explained everything they could.

One of the groups was sentenced to five years at the highest and one year at the lowest.

There are also some relatively minor ones, which are fines, with the highest amount of 50,000 guan and the lowest amount of 3,000 guan.

At this point, the Li family in Longyou was finally reshuffled, and Li Cheng officially became the head of the Li family in Longyou. Moreover, Li Shimin added a county magistrate to Li Cheng because Li Cheng said he wanted to help him get gold and silver.

Li Cheng has such a county magistrate, and it is even more legitimate.

In addition, Li Cheng also did something that Li Shimin liked, and that Li Cheng strongly supported the poor clans of the Li family in Longyou. Because of the difference between the legitimate clans, there were many poor clans in a family.

Li Cheng didn't want to be a legitimate person, but instead supported the poor but talented Li family in Longyou.

This made Li Shimin think that Li Cheng had the same idea as himself, so he admired it very much.

Because of the huge case, the head of the Li family in Longyou was beheaded and the entire Li family in Longyou changed one, so this incident caused a long-term topic of the people of Chang'an.

Almost alleys, you can hear people talking about the Li family in Longyou.

And at this moment, the Japanese people who were originally headless flies finally saw a ray of light
Chapter completed!
