Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 39, Monsoon is the Dragon King

On the second floor of Wangyue Tower, following Liu Jin's explanation, people from the south and north all stood up and told about the climate in their hometown. When everyone said it, it was exactly the same as what Liu Jin said, and the explanation made sense.

Liu Jin looked at everyone and said something to you, and he also smiled and took a break.

"I understand why the rice here in Luzon can be grown three times a year, because it is located in the equatorial region, and it is summer all year round. It is warm enough, so it can be grown three times a year."

"In our Ming Dynasty, the further north we go, the lower the temperature. In the areas along the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River, although we can still grow rice, we can only grow rice once a year, while in the Jiangnan region we can grow rice twice a year. If you go north, because the temperature is not enough, you can't grow rice at all, you can only grow wheat."

Lin Shuhong seemed to understand something, and couldn't help saying it excitedly.

"Well, that's right."

Liu Jin nodded and said.

"Actually, our agriculture and geographical location are also closely related."

"The south is not only warmer, but also has more rainfall, so rice can be grown. The north is colder and has less rainfall, so only wheat can be grown."

"Everyone found out that the more you go south, the denser the trees on the mountain, and after arriving in the south of Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, the trees will not lose their leaves in winter."

"Trees in the north will lose their leaves, and the forests in the north are much less than those in the south. All this is related to precipitation. After passing the Great Wall, we entered the Tatar and Oala regions. These regions are not only cold, but also have less precipitation. Therefore, the vegetation in these places is dominated by grasslands, and there are not many forests."

"Our precipitation basically comes from the ocean. The continent where our Ming Dynasty is located is very large. The closer to the ocean, the more precipitation, and the farther away, the less precipitation."

"That's why we have our fertile Ming Dynasty. Going north and west, these places are deserts and grasslands, because there is too little water from the ocean."

Then Liu Jin also continued to talk about precipitation. In the Ming Dynasty area, a long line was drawn here, which is also the well-known precipitation dividing line, and it is also the dividing line between east and west.

"It turned out to be like this. No wonder our Shaanxi has little rainfall. It's because we are too far away from the sea."

Someone from the northwest nodded and said.

"The north-south distinction is actually related to precipitation."

Someone said suddenly when they heard this.

"In fact, where our Ming Dynasty is located, the precipitation in the north and south is very regular. The precipitation in our Daming is a typical monsoon season. The so-called monsoon season is closely related to the monsoon."

"Generally, our Ming Dynasty's annual precipitation starts from the south, and it starts from Guangdong and Guangxi at the earliest. They usually start to rain in March and April."

"Then the monsoon will start to go north. When it reaches the Yangtze River, it will be in May and June. We call it the rainy season at this time."

"Continuing further north, it will continue to go north as time goes by. The further north you go, the later the rainy season will come, and the further south you go, the sooner the rainy season will come."

Liu Jin continued to take out the brush and draw several horizontal lines on the map, marking the time respectively, so that people can see clearly at once.

"That's right, it rains earlier in my Guangdong side."

The man from Guangdong stood up and said.

"The same is true for the Jiangnan area~"

"It's almost exactly this time in the north, too."

Others also nodded one after another.

"If the monsoon moves according to the time point I mentioned every year, then our Daming will definitely have good weather in the north and south that year, and it will be a bumper harvest year."

"However, the monsoon is sometimes very abnormal. For example, sometimes it stays in the south for too long. In June and July, it is still in the south and has not moved north. If there is a disaster year of southern flood and northern drought, if it moves too fast and stays in the south for too short a time, and it comes to the north in May and June, then there will be disasters of northern flood and southern drought in Ming Dynasty.”

"Our Daming has a special geographical location. Once a problem occurs, it is not just a problem in one place. If there is a drought in the north, there will be a flood in the south. If there is a flood in the north, there will be a drought in the south."

"It's just that because the south is closer to the ocean, there is more precipitation, and there are more forests in the south, so the drought and floods have less impact on the south. The north is different. The north is plain and the vegetation is sparse. Once there is a drought or flood, the situation will be very serious. Throughout the dynasties, the disaster problem in the north has been much more serious than that in the south.”

Liu Jin looked at the crowd and continued talking.

Whether it is the Golden Continent mentioned earlier, Australia, Southeast Asia, or even the earth, everyone thinks it is relatively far away, and they always don't believe Liu Jin's words.

Now when it comes to the difference between the north and the south, the difference between the north and the south, and the precipitation in the north and the south, this is closely related to everyone, and what Liu Jin said is very accurate, everyone believes in Liu Jin's words a lot.

"It turned out to be so?"

"After you go back, you must check the information over the years and verify it."

When the middle-aged man heard it, his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something.

"Isn't this monsoon the Dragon Lord? The Dragon Lord is in a good mood. The weather in the south of our Ming Dynasty is smooth. If the Dragon Lord is not happy, it will be drought in the south or flood in the north, or vice versa."

Someone couldn't help but smile after listening to Liu Jin's words.

"Isn't it? It's really almost the same as the Dragon King."

When Liu Jin heard this, he laughed immediately. People in this era like to associate everything with ghosts and gods. When I mentioned Jifeng, someone immediately said that I was the Dragon Lord. It is really dumbfounding.

"It's no wonder that the problems in the past dynasties were first in the north. Every dynasty change must be caused by a severe drought. The Yellow Turban Uprising was due to the severe drought in the world and the lack of harvest, which eventually led to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"The uprising in the last years of the Tang Dynasty was also caused by severe drought and excessive taxation, which caused turmoil in the world; when the Taizu of my dynasty rebelled, it happened to be a severe drought in the northern region. In addition, the corruption of officials in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, excessive collection and excessive taxation made the people miserable. My Taizu Rising in the sky, this is how I, Da Ming."

Huang Jinquan was familiar with history, and when he heard this, he thought of the rise and fall of the past dynasties, and immediately widened his eyes, as if he had discovered some rules, and said it out loud.
