Chapter 50, Souvenirs of Medieval Travels "How do you say this?
You don't have to blame yourself like this, Doraemon.
Everyone has his own destiny.
As long as he survives, there are infinite possibilities.
No matter what, these people are saved because of your and our efforts.
After getting rid of the slaughter of the Black Death, as for how to live next, it depends on their own abilities.
After all, we are not their parents, and we do not have so many unshirkable natural obligations."
Seeing Doraemon's tangled expression, Wang Qiu couldn't help but come up to comfort him and said, "Although you often act as saviors with Nobi and the others, it doesn't mean that it is your responsibility and obligation to save every world.
If If it is stipulated that to save a person's life, you have to take care of him for the rest of his life, then I can guarantee that everyone will only care about themselves in the future, and no one will dare to help others anymore."
"Yes, I think so too."
Professor Guo took a sip of wine and agreed, and then came up with an idea, "Remember when we were in the late Northern Song Dynasty, didn't you come up with a very magical method?
Can crops be used again in Europe at this time?"
When Doraemon and Professor Guo traveled through the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty and contacted various forces to besiege the Jin soldiers, it happened that the remnant army of the Western Liao Dynasty in Yelu Dashi was trapped in the grassland and lacked food and grass.
Therefore, Doraemon took out two The twelfth century high-tech crop of seven-day quick-growing wheat was supplied to the Khitan people in Mobei This kind of seven-day fast-growing wheat is sown on the grassland.
It is a cold-resistant, drought-resistant and barren-resistant super crop jointly developed by scientists from various countries through genetic engineering in the early days of the development of the Antarctic continent in the future world.
It can adapt to a variety of harsh climates, and is especially cold-resistant and drought-resistant.
It is known as It can grow on icebergs.
Relying on this incredible high-tech crop, the remnants of the Khitan army quickly harvested a large amount of food from the grasslands, thereby alleviating the shortage of military rations.
However, the situation in medieval Europe was slightly different.
What caused the food supply crisis was not natural factors in climate or soil, but the disappearance of agricultural labor and the collapse of agricultural production caused by the Black Death: without solving the plague that raged in rural areas, no matter how good it was, Improved seeds are also useless.
"I'm afraid it won't work.
No matter how good the crops are, people need to sow and cultivate them.
In the era of the Black Death, even this was difficult to achieve, because governments in various countries had disintegrated and collapsed, and even order in the cities was general.
It’s out of control, and no one can organize agricultural production in the countryside.”
Doraemon thought for a moment, but finally shook his head, "Although seven-day fast-growing wheat grows quickly, the yield per unit area is actually pitifully low.
It may not be as good as the oats and barley grown by Europeans in the Middle Ages.
It is particularly noticeable on grasslands where crops could not be grown originally.
Eye.
If it is not used for reclamation, but is sown on mature land, it is simply a waste of cultivated land.
Moreover, this thing is not resistant to heat and waterlogging, and it will lose crops if it is flooded. , so it is not suitable for the relatively humid maritime climate of Europe at all.
In fact, given the situation in European countries in 1348, rather than introducing any new species, it would be better to continue with the original routine.
But the question is, when the Black Death continues to spread and cannot be extinguished, who has the ability to resume agricultural production under the scythe of death?"
Although the Black Death spread in Europe in 1348, there were no particularly significant natural disasters, and the original water conservancy and irrigation facilities were not abandoned.
As far as agricultural production and food supply are concerned, the real test is actually the governing ability of the ruling authorities and the organization of the country.
If the Soviet Union in Stalin's era or New China in Mao's era could deploy the human resources of the whole society in a highly effective manner and organize the surviving urban population to "go to the mountains and countryside" at the first time, then it might be possible to restore part of the food supply.
Production can nip the impending famine in its bud.
After all, the mouths that need to eat have been wiped out by the plague.
However, if the political system of medieval Europe, which was loose, stacked, and divided, wanted to organize the urban population to go to the countryside to reclaim land and resume production, not to mention whether the pampered nobles wanted to do this, even if Thinking about it, those abandoned cultivated lands also have their own owners.
Just issues such as land ownership and feudal inheritance rights can cause a lot of armed conflicts, and citizens with personal freedom may not be willing to farm the land obediently.
Because they have been in the city for too long, They probably no longer know how to farm.
How to find "agricultural technicians" to teach them farming skills is even more of a disaster.
In short, whether it is the church, the nobility, the royal family, or the city council that presides over this matter, because there are too many troubles involved, the result will inevitably be thankless.
Therefore, even if the rulers have anticipated the impending famine, they will most likely choose to wait for it to break out and then see how many people can survive.
Anyway, no matter how many paupers starve to death, they will not be able to starve "noble people" like them.
"no Even so, they still think the best of human nature.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Based on the conscience and love of money of those Venetian profiteers, maybe they are already planning how to use this famine year to hoard and wildly increase food prices to make hundreds of times huge profits.
"Hey, is it such a trouble?
In fact, maybe you can try reverse thinking."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Ma Tong opened her mouth and bit a wine glass in a drunken state, lying down on the Tatami rice in a sloppy manner, letting a wisp of sake flow along her lips onto the tatami, "Dora a Meng, as long as you rely on your magic encyclopedia dictionary to invent a kind of fasting or hibernating technique, so that those who can't eat can temporarily be like hibernating snakes without eating, then the problem will be solved."
Well, since we have no food, let’s hibernate together.
Senior Sister Ma Tong, your reverse thinking is really weird.
This weird idea was so offbeat that there was a brief silence in the box: everyone felt that something was wrong with this idea, but they couldn't tell what was wrong and had to remain silent for a while.
Finally, the little girl Shizuka Minamoto, who was still very eye-catching, laughed a few times and took the initiative to change the topic: "Haha, anyway, things like famine cannot be solved in a short while.
Today is the day to celebrate Doraemon paying off the loan shark.
Let's talk about some happy things.
For example, by the way, you are here this time Europe traveled to so many places in the Middle Ages , I also went to such a romantic place like France, why didn’t I think of bringing some souvenirs back as souvenirs for everyone?
Japanese tradition, when you come back from a long trip, you want to bring gifts.
When you think of France, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely perfume and wine.
"Yeah," she said deliberately irritatingly.
"Miss Shizuka of the French Perfume Poyuan, it was 1348 when we went there.
The legendary French perfume has not even existed yet."
Wang Qiu spurted out the sake in his mouth and shook his head repeatedly, "Perfume was first invented in ancient India and Persia, and in medieval Europe, it was the Italians who established the first workshops to produce perfume.
But.
French perfume technology has always been very backward.
It was only later that the lavender fields in Provence suddenly became prosperous.
The lavender fields in Provence also appeared very late in history.
The reason why the French devoted themselves to the study of perfume was because they mistook bathing for the source of the disease after the Black Death, so they actually closed it down.
Never take a shower in the bathroom.
But people will stink if they don't take a shower, and Europeans don't seem to be perverted enough to regard stinky beauty as beauty.
Such a harsh living environment naturally makes perfume a necessity in life.
The French first imported perfume from Italy, but later felt that this was not cost-effective, so they managed to poach Italian perfume craftsmen and set up their own perfume workshops, laying the foundation of the French perfume industry.
During the Napoleonic Empire, Emperor Napoleon, who loved science, encouraged French scientists to invest in the research of organic chemistry, so that the French perfume industry began to lead the world trend until the 21st century."
He wiped the wine stains at the corner of his mouth with a tissue and explained to Minamoto Shizuka, "During the era of the Black Death, due to the narrow consumer market and backward technology, even Italian homemade perfumes were rare and of poor quality.
Very inferior.
From what I saw, the European courts at that time The high-quality perfumes used in it are basically imported from India and Persia, and Indian products with aphrodisiac effects are more popular.
If you really like it, I can get you a few bottles, but with all due respect, it is not for you.
For my age, it’s really too early to use that thing.”
"It's too early for me to import from India, oh my god"
In response to this, Yuan Shizuka blinked her eyes first, and then her face turned red suddenly, "Could it be the legendary Indian divine oil?"
"Yes, it's almost the same thing.
The smell is very pungent and weird.
Most modern people won't like it.
It's better to take a flower petal bath."
Wang Qiu shrugged and replied to her, "As for French wine, you can get as much as you want, and it is absolutely natural and green and pollution-free.
It is not the kind of sugar water mixed with alcohol and pigments.
Next time I go back there, I will Let Levi get a few barrels for you all to try.
Hey, speaking of it, relying on the money collected from him, we are eating, drinking and celebrating here, but Levi wears the title of Paladin and stays alone in that backward world with no one around him.
Now that he has someone to talk to, even his pregnant wife, who has been together for several years, has been sent to the future hospital of the 22nd century to wait for delivery.
He must feel very lonely now that he is not around." oshow7:
