The amount of grain produced from those acres of land was astonishing, and the amount of crops carried back by the baskets was equally astonishing. No wonder there were long-standing rumors that the people of the Ming Dynasty had no worries about food and drink.
This output value alone far surpasses that of other countries.
While people in other countries were still struggling to find food, the people of the Ming Dynasty had an abundance of grain.
Moreover, their food was not just ordinary rice, flour, and grains, but a much wider variety of foods, including all sorts of vegetables, many of which were things that the two kings had never seen or even heard of before.
Even the king of Zhu Zi Kingdom couldn't help but sigh:
"I had long heard that the people of the Ming Dynasty had a very high standard of living, but seeing it now is truly astonishing. I have to admit I'm impressed."
The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom said smugly:
"What do you think, Father? I wasn't exaggerating, was I? The crops that the people of the Ming Dynasty eat are so plentiful. The dishes they casually cook are even better than what some of our country's princes and nobles eat."
The King of Zhu Zi Kingdom had to admit this, and the newly appointed King of Che Chi Kingdom, who was accompanying him, nodded in agreement in secret.
He had to admit it.
And so it went. The new king of Chechi Kingdom and the king of Zhu Zi Kingdom were both very shocked when they saw all sorts of strange and unusual things from the Ming Dynasty along the way.
The prince of the Kingdom of Zhu Zi, having already been there before, appeared very experienced and began to boast, saying:
"Ah, these are just some bicycles and tricycles that are very popular in the Ming Dynasty, but it's nothing, I'm used to them."
And those delicious foods, I've eaten them many times already, but they're still delicious. You must try them if you have the chance!
"By the way, the medical technology in this daimyo is also very advanced. Father, didn't you say you were feeling unwell? We can have a doctor from the daimyo take a look at you; it'll be very inexpensive."
This prince from the Kingdom of Zhu Zi came to the Ming Dynasty and acted as if he were back home, showing off in every way.
He gave all sorts of introductions, making it seem like no one else understood, except him.
He even said to the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom and the new King of Che Chi Kingdom:
"In this Ming Dynasty, is there anything I haven't seen? If you don't believe me, ask me anything, and I can answer you."
The King of Chechi nodded, and then he saw a long train running on the tracks in the distance. So he pointed and said:
"What is that?"
The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom looked over with absolute confidence and said:
"Oh, that's... Oh my god, what is this thing?"
The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom stood frozen in place as he watched the train speeding past on the railway tracks beside the cement road.
The train was smoking and making a clanging sound; it was filled with many people and carrying a lot of goods.
More than ten carriages roared past them, leaving the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom, the new King of Che Chi Kingdom, and the Prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom completely dumbfounded.
Therefore, the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom also said:
"My son, what was that just now? I've never heard of such a thing in the Ming Dynasty. It didn't rely on manpower or horses, so how did it run? You know a lot, so please explain it to us."
This completely baffled the prince of the Kingdom of Zhu Zi. He scratched his head vigorously, unable to explain himself for a long time.
Because he didn't know what it was either.
This made him somewhat embarrassed for a moment, and he stammered for a while before finally saying:
"Father, this thing... I don't know what it is..."
Upon hearing this, the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom rolled his eyes, and the new King of Che Chi Kingdom also laughed.
The King of Zhu Zi Kingdom said:
"You brat, didn't you just confidently declare that you knew everything about the Ming Dynasty? How come there are things you don't know?"
The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom blushed deeply; he was indeed quite bewildered.
He had indeed seen a lot of things from the Ming Dynasty. He had just come here a month ago to discuss some business dealings with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he was very familiar with all of these things in the Ming Dynasty.
After all, he needed to conduct business with the Ming Dynasty, and these things could be purchased, so he was familiar with all sorts of things that appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
It ranges from coal mining, gun trading, and cement construction.
He knows everything from grain seeds and medicinal herbs to floral water and cooking methods.
But I've never seen that thing that ran past just now, the one that looked like a giant snake.
Has the Ming Dynasty created something new again?
It's only been a few days since I last came, how come it's changed again?
