Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

The calendar was developed by Chinese civilization to correspond to the agricultural season.

Spring, in people's eyes, is the busy farming period. In this season, the crops in the fields need to plant seeds and sow hope; autumn is the harvest season. At this time, every household has surplus food, and it is not so hard to make ends meet. This is also A lifestyle that many rural people take for granted.

But this is something that everyone has been accustomed to for thousands of years, but no one really knows the reason for planting in spring, ripening in autumn, harvesting in autumn, and storing in winter.

And today, Jiang Xinghuo made it clear!

It’s because of the monsoon!

It is because of the alternating warm and moist southeast monsoon in summer and the dry and cold northwest monsoon in China that this regular agricultural phenomenon is formed!

"He is truly a god." Zhang Yuchu muttered silently in his heart.

Just like the poems that Zhang Yuchu recited every day when he got up and Yuan Gong every time he appeared on the stage, there are also several poems in Taoism that are said to contain great sayings, which are considered to be used by ancient Feng Shui magicians to observe geography and make predictions. Celestial phenomena are used to infer destiny.

Zhang Yuchu once carefully observed ancient books and found that in the Han Dynasty, someone had mentioned a similar concept of "yin and yang harmonious, and the four phenomena are complete".

And Li Chunfeng is the most famous among Feng Shui masters!

Li Chunfeng was the first person in Chinese history to grade Feng. His famous book "Yi Si Zhan" is also the earliest recorded monograph on wind.

"The wind is the symbol of all things, the sun and the moon are bright and clear."

It is said that since the death of Li Chunfeng, six out of the ten top Feng Shui masters in the world have been Li Chunfeng's disciples. However, no one can use the things Li Chunfeng left behind to the same extent as him.

Today, the works of Li Chunfeng that he had read began to emerge, become familiar with, and be redefined in Zhang Yuchu's mind as Jiang Xinghuo continued to teach in depth.

"Could it be that what Li Chunfeng said is actually just what Jiang Xinghuo said?"

Thinking about it this way, it is very possible!

After all, in ancient times, these Feng Shui secrets were deified.

The "Tao of Feng Shui" is also regarded as the general outline of "Feng Shui".

The more Zhang Yuchu thought about it, the more excited he became. Under his calm appearance, his heart was already roaring crazily.

"What is wind? Wind is the symbol of all things!"

"Now listening to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture, this Heavenly Master has completely understood the meaning of this sentence!"

"The wind determines the four seasons of farming in China. Food is the foundation of the world, and then determines everything in the world!"

"This heavenly master has enlightened!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The more Zhang Yuchu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Because this is logical.

And according to the records in ancient books, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the things in ancient books were just superficial and could barely touch the threshold.

Compared with Jiang Xinghuo's truly thorough explanation of Feng Shui, it was nothing worth mentioning, not even worthy of carrying shoes.

The more Zhang Yuchu thought about it, the more excited he became. He finally caught up with a good opportunity!

Although I don't know if there is really a chance in this world to successfully overcome the tribulation and ascend to become an immortal.

But if Yuan Gong and Dao Yan's guesses are correct, there is someone standing in front of him!

Immortals, overlooking the mortal world, can live forever and look at it for a long time.

Becoming an immortal is the ultimate temptation that transcends all for all ascetics!

But even if there is only a glimmer of possibility in front of him, he must hold on tightly and never let go!

If I continue to listen and understand what [water] is all about, then I can use ancient books from the past to understand the true meaning of Yin and Yang Feng Shui and break through the bottleneck.

By that time, even the most famous Feng Shui masters in the world may not dare to compete with this Tianshi in this field, right?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuchu's breathing suddenly became rapid.

I have to say, this is a crazy idea.

If this thing is really done, I'm afraid the entire Feng Shui world will explode!

But Zhang Yuchu was not worried.

Because this matter requires unparalleled opportunities, and the rewards are huge!

Once he can really break through the limitations that no one has broken through in the past thousands of years, and understand the ultimate secret of Feng Shui, then Zhang Yuchu can use this secret to step into a realm that no one has ever reached before, and reach that place where he The level of dreams!

It took Zhang Yuchu a while to recover from the extreme excitement in his heart, and he muttered to himself.

"It's a pity that these all require time to review, study, and comprehend. I can only endure it for now! However, the most important thing right now is to finish listening to the remaining lectures."

Jiang Xinghuo paused and continued to repeat the key points.

"As we have just said, the characteristics of Chinese civilization farming are high temperatures and rainy days in summer, cold and dry winters, with hot and rainy weather occurring at the same time, and four distinct seasons."

“The wind determines the water.”

Jiang Xinghuo followed suit: "It is precisely because of the existence of these two monsoons that the seasonal changes in precipitation in China are large. The high temperature of the southeast monsoon in summer is basically consistent with the rainy period. The rain and heat are in the same period, which is very important for development." Farming is very beneficial because planting in spring is in the middle of harvesting in autumn, and summer is when crops grow vigorously and need water the most.”

"In fact, it is the difference in wind and water conditions that divides agriculture in China into suitable planting areas in monsoon areas and unsuitable planting areas in non-monsoon areas."

Zhu Gaoxu interjected and asked: "What are the suitable planting areas in monsoon areas and the unsuitable planting areas in non-monsoon areas? Isn't it true that all parts of China are affected by the monsoon?"

Li Jinglong also showed a confused look.

"It's really not."

Jiang Xinghuo started drawing lines on his text map again.

Look at the map.

Jiang Xinghuo said slowly: "As shown in the picture, this line is the monsoon dividing line, which is the boundary between the monsoon area and the non-monsoon area in China."

"The Greater Hinggan Mountains-Yinshan Mountains-Helan Mountains-Kunlun Mountains are generally the mountains that this boundary passes through."

“To the east of this line is the monsoon zone, and to the west is the non-monsoon zone.”

The two nodded clearly, so it seemed that the situation did not happen as they imagined.

Most areas of China, especially areas suitable for farming, are still in the monsoon zone.

"It's all desert Gobi, so it doesn't matter."

Jiang Xinghuo just shook his head gently and nodded again, only agreeing with a small part.

"If we only talk about farming, the food output and ability to support the population in these places are indeed of little significance."

"But the very existence of these places is meaningful!"

"Although China is huge, there is absolutely no useless land!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu quickly changed his words: "What I want to say is what Mr. Jiang meant, but farming is of little significance. Whatever the sun and the moon shine on is our territory of the Ming Dynasty. Not even an inch of these fields can be lost." of!"

Jiang Xinghuo nodded heavily this time, and then continued.

"Let's move on to precipitation."

"Just now we mentioned that the 400 mm precipitation line is the minimum limit for farming." Jiang Xinghuo paused and then said: "The reason why most nomadic peoples exist, grow, and grow in the north of China is that Because after crossing the line of the Great Wall, farming is no longer possible. Of course, nomads also have requirements for rainfall, which is three hundred millimeters, um, a little less than one foot. If the rainfall is less than this, they will be It’s called extreme drought. Once the pasture is eaten, it’s difficult to recover, so such places are generally called deserts or deserts.”

"Rainfall is actually very miraculous. If the precipitation level returns to many deserts now, it will only take a few years to miraculously transform from uninhabited land to green grassland."

"In the same way, the reason why the Guanlong area, which was once the foundation of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, is not as good as before is because the optimal precipitation line for farming has once again moved southward to the Huaihe River line. Coupled with the water and soil erosion in Guanzhong, agricultural output has declined. The national proportion is no longer what it used to be.”

The secret room next door.

Zhu Gaochi fell into deep thought unconsciously.

His uncle, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao, was ordered to inspect Guanzhong in August of the 24th year of Hongwu in order to move the capital. It was after returning from the inspection of Guanzhong that he died of cold.

At that time, some people said that it was because the dragon pulse in Guanzhong was pulsating and the feng shui was not good.

His imperial grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang even sent many Feng Shui magicians to investigate for this purpose.

Thinking about it now, in the Tang Dynasty, it was so hot in August and September that people had to hide in Guanzhong in Zhongnan Mountain to escape the heat. How come people can catch wind and cold in the same season now?

Although this is just an individual case, a glimpse of a leopard can also reflect the problems faced by Guanzhong.

To put it bluntly, this is what Jiang Xinghuo said. Guanzhong itself is on the edge of the monsoon zone, and part of it is still in the non-monsoon zone. With the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the temperature and precipitation have changed dramatically.

In this way, it is not surprising that an autumn rain and a cold wind killed the heir to the Ming Empire.

If not, if Zhu Biao was still alive, with Zhu Biao's prestige and ability, how could there be any peace battle? It's simply impossible.

It is even more impossible for him, Zhu Gaochi, to sit in his current position and listen to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture.

Even if we have to imagine that his father Zhu Di rebelled, then since Zhu Biao succeeded to the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to cleanse those famous generals of the Hongwu Dynasty. To put it bluntly, isn't it because Zhu Yunwen is young and junior, so is he afraid that he will not be able to control the situation?

If it were the famous generals of the Hongwu Dynasty, instead of Li Jinglong, who had no actual combat experience, and Geng Bingwen, who had insufficient offensive capabilities, how could Zhu Di have won even if he rebelled?

If this assumption continues, it is possible that he, Zhu Gaochi, will appear here, just as a prisoner.

And all of this was thanks to the Little Ice Age?

Monsoons and precipitation, in a true "feng shui" sense, became the direct cause of Zhu Biao's death.

Zhu Gaochi had a wry smile on his fat face.

What a joke God made.

There is one more chapter of 2,000 words. I will post it as soon as it is coded. I vow to start a new life next month and update 20,000 words every day. There will be no delay.
