Chapter 1338 Journey to the West (Continued)(1/2)
"here..."
Chongzhen looked at the farmers working in the fields, and then looked at the peasant women who were busy doing handicraft work in the manor not far away. He looked strange. "The feeling is indescribable, but I feel very primitive and ignorant, and I have the urge to laugh."
Wang Xiao next to him followed, "You want to say that this place is so behind, right?"
"right."
Chongzhen clapped his hands hard and said, "That's what it means."
At this time, the Gaul Chicken had not participated in the Age of Discovery, but was still in the era of feudal division between kings and lords.
The people here are all serfs of lords of all sizes, and both men and women have to work for the lords.
Moreover, its production model is very primitive and outdated, at least in the eyes of the Ming people of this era.
"These people are so dirty."
When he came to the manor and looked at the people who lived in the same room as the livestock, Chongzhen raised his hand and covered his nose, "Why don't you build a cow pen?"
Wang Xiao spread his hands, "Because they are behind."
Shaking his head, Chongzhen went to check the extensive farming model of the serfs again. "Is this what to serve crops? Why don't you cultivate such a good land carefully?"
Wang Xiao spread his hands again, "Because they are behind."
Seeing the peasant women making handmade products, Chongzhen rolled his eyes and said, "I don't even have a spinning wheel, it must be because they are behind."
"That's right."
Wang Xiao laughed out loud, "That's it."
It is hard to imagine that hundreds of years later, proudly considering himself to be a top-notch Gallic chicken, and in this era, he is still living in the afterglow of the medieval times.
Illiterate everywhere, industry was just beginning to sprout, and the feudal lords resolutely resisted any form of change, and were even more reluctant to let their serfs go to the factory to work.
“By the way.”
Wang Xiao remembered something, "The ancient power of the first x is still being implemented here. When the serfs marry their wives, they also have to contribute their power of the first x."
Chongzhen was stunned by the sound of "Ignorance and barbarians!"
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, they are also improving. Generally, you can get exemptions by just sending a basin of coins that can hold your wife's xx size to the lord."
Chongzhen shook his head repeatedly, "Barish, too barbaric."
The two of them wandered around the manor, which naturally attracted the attention of the people here.
The manager wearing a small wide hat and leggings tied around his ankles brought someone to check.
Without saying anything, as soon as they saw Wang Xiao and the others' faces, they immediately shouted and called everyone around to come and arrest people.
Wang Xiao smiled casually, drew his sword and waved it over, and the nearby area immediately became quiet.
When he walked to the vineyard, Wang Xiao pointed to the grapes and said, "There is a very important income here, which is to make wine. These grapes are specially cultivated and cultivated from generation to generation."
"oh."
Chongzhen nodded, got into the vineyard and looked through carefully, wanting to see how these grapes were different from those from the Ming Dynasty.
First of all, the size is big enough, and secondly, the grape bars are very dense. Finally, Chongzhen pinched one and wiped it and threw it into his mouth, and then he simply vomited.
The grapes used for making wine are different from those eaten as fruits, which are sour and astringent.
While Chongzhen was still retching, Wang Xiao's voice came from outside, "Have you finished vomiting? After vomiting, come out to watch the fun."
Chongzhen, who had spitted a few times, came out of the vineyard.
Without Wang Xiao explaining to him, he saw that the gate of the castle not far away was opened, and a group of knights riding tall horses were trotting forward towards them.
"hehe."
Chongzhen sneered, "He came to seek death by overestimating one's own ability."
With Wang Xiao by his side, Chongzhen was full of confidence. In his eyes, those knights covered with iron armor were no different from chickens pecking at insects in the fields.
"That's the lord here. Look at his flag, he should be a baron. Well, he also has a dozen entourages. Pay attention to the pennant..."
When Wang Xiao explained to Chongzhen, the Baron Knight had already started to accelerate the charge with his entourage.
When there is no war, these are basically the armed forces in the castle.
To increase the strength of the troops, the peasant soldiers must be mobilized.
Wang Xiao and the others fell from the sky, so naturally they didn't have time to mobilize.
The Baron, who was training in the training ground before, learned that two foreigners had entered their manor, immediately rushed over with his entourage who were also practicing martial arts.
In the Baron's opinion, two foreigners who had no horses and no armor were completely good targets for their own skills.
As muskets and artillery gradually became popular, the status of these heavy armored knights who had been passed down from the Middle Ages was increasingly declining.
But they are still unwilling to give up their glory in the past, and they have to fight for it if they have a chance.
Wang Xiao reached out and picked a bunch of grapes from the vineyard beside him.
He reached out and stroked the grapes in his hand, and then threw them towards the knights who were already close to him.
Even if it is just a grape, its lethality is extremely terrible when it is infused with powerful power.
The Baron and his entourage were all knocked down by the grapes.
The huge impact force even broke their bones.
Looking at the horses running in front of him, Wang Xiao waved his hand. The horses were all very spiritually circling around Wang Xiao and the others.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here."
Summoned the flying sword, and Wang Xiao called Chongzhen to continue on the road.
A large piece of baron was obviously sunken on the strong breastplate. He lay on the ground and saw Wang Xiao and the others rising up from the sky with their swords. He spitted blood and fainted.
Go north and cross the narrow trench and arrive at the famous island of shit.
The first industrial revolution will take more than a hundred years before it will officially begin.
At this time, it only appeared in the bud, so it was similar to the other side of the strait.
As for the difference, it is that the shit-stumbling sticks are eager to join the Age of Discovery.
He challenged and defeated strong opponents such as Spain and Red Hair, and finally got the last laugh in the Age of Discovery.
Speaking of the Age of Discovery, the Ming Dynasty was truly opened. Europa joined it to find a route to the Ming Dynasty.
Because the traditional Silk Road was controlled by the Ottomans.
The silk tea and porcelain that made the Europa people crazy increased their prices in the hands of the Ottomans, and their increase was comparable to the price of x in later generations.
The Europa people who couldn't stand this price chose to go out to sea to find a new route to the Ming Dynasty. This is the true origin of the Age of Discovery.
Compared to the still closed Gaul chicken, the shit-stumbling sticks are much more lively.
At first glance, the sea was covered with sails of all sizes.
The stools focus on the ocean, which started from this era.
“So many ships…”
Looking at the endless fleet on the sea, Chongzhen was also surprised.
"Most of them are small boats, so don't need to pay too much attention for the time being."
Wang Xiao explained to him, "It is because of the strong support from the king to the officials, so it flourishes. However, the disadvantages of island countries are very obvious, from people to resources, everything is lacking. And mainland countries like the Ming Dynasty are different. As long as they can make up their minds, they can
The determination to enter the ocean. That powerful mobilization and productivity..."
He thought of a huge land country in later generations. When it walked towards the ocean, the productivity it burst out really scared the Japanese to cry in despair.
You finally found a ship here, but there were ten ships coming out there to fight you out, and there were still ten ships on the platform that were being built quickly.
No matter how crazy the Japanese are, they will have to despair when facing this reality.
A poor empire cannot beat a wealthy empire.
The sword flew into the city with its turn. The environment here made Wang Xiao and Chongzhen frown at the same time.
In the Ming Dynasty before Wanli, the city was very clean because there were special personnel responsible for cleaning and cleaning, and the people also understood what it means to pay attention to hygiene.
But here... Wang Xiao even saw a local man covered in hair with his own eyes, squatting on the roadside as if no one was around, feeling comfortable and unrestrained.
Because it was too eye-catching, Wang Xiao kicked a stone in one step.
Dirty, messy, bad.
It is synonymous with this city, and the grayness in the sky and the strange atmosphere filled with the air have greatly lost Chongzhen, who originally wanted to see the fresh and lively.
"I really don't know how the people here survive in this kind of place."
Hearing Chongzhen's complaint, Wang Xiao said to him seriously, "Don't underestimate them, because they are savage and ignorant, they are aggressive and combat-oriented. If you really wait until you start dressing up as a gentleman with a polite cane, you will become a mess."
"ah?"
Chongzhen, who had never been online, didn't understand, and Wang Xiao had no intention of explaining to him.
Since you are here, you have to look around even if you are bad.
