all in all.

The fourteenth century to the sixteenth century was an important period of rapid development in Europe.

America was colonized.

The local indigenous people were massacred.

Africa is in a stage of political chaos and so on.

Ye Xuan selected part of the content and told it to Zhu Xiongying and other emperors and grandsons.

"America has crops such as potatoes, corn, peppers, peanuts, pumpkins, sunflowers, guavas, cocoa, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. Among them, potatoes and sweet potatoes are high-yielding crops that can produce thousands of kilograms per mu."

“The Amazon River in the northern part of South America has the largest flow, basin, and most tributaries in the world.”

“The flow of the Amazon River is several times greater than the combined flow of the Yangtze River, Mississippi River, and Nile River.”

"The basin area occupies 40% of the total area of ​​the South American continent."

"There are tropical rainforests in its upper reaches, where venomous snakes and large carnivores are widely distributed."

These continents are rich in products and resources.

The United States colonized America, occupied the land of the indigenous Indians, and also occupied the place with the largest mineral resource reserves in the world.

The reserves of natural gas, iron ore, coal, oil and other mines in America rank among the top in the world.

The forest area is 4.4 billion acres.

Ten trillion dollars worth of timber storage.

Natural gas storage capacity is $3 trillion.

Total resources are valued at $45 trillion.

On the Eurasian continental plate.

The country of wooly bears spans across Eurasia.

Mineral and energy resource reserves are the largest in the world.

In the future, it will be the largest exporter of natural gas and oil.

Contains 25% of the world's freshwater lakes.

There are sufficient fresh water resources.

The timber storage capacity is 80.7 billion cubic meters.

Total resources are valued at $75 trillion.

Saudi Arabia is the "petroleum kingdom".

Crude oil reserves are 36.3 billion tons.

Oil production and reserves rank first in the world.

Natural gas reserves are 800 million cubic meters.

It has copper, iron, gold, aluminum, zinc and other mineral deposits.

The little dumplings’ eyes lit up when they heard this.

"I didn't expect that there are so many countries with rich products and sufficient resources outside the Ming Dynasty."

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts... they sound delicious. Sir, have you ever eaten these foods?"

"The Black Death, what is that? It sounds scary."

...

The emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying stood up, with short limbs, a slightly chubby body and a baby's fat and white face. He held his hands and asked:

"gentlemen."

"There is such a vast territory outside our Ming Dynasty. Can we conquer those territories?"

"Let those territories be included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty?"

Ye Xuan smiled.

This little guy has quite a bit of ambition.

"It's good to have such ideas and ambitions."

"But I'm going to tell you."

"It's hard."

Ye Xuan's words made Zhu Xiongying's little face full of doubts.

"My Ming Dynasty has powerful soldiers and cavalry, and countless talented people. My imperial grandfather and fourth uncle are even more brave and good at fighting. Why is it so difficult?"

"Please give me some advice, sir."

Ye Xuan said:

"Winning the war requires many conditions."

"Whether a country is strong or not, as well as national resources, etc., play a very important part."

"Now the Ming Dynasty has just brought peace to the world, and the people are living a peaceful life."

"If this kind of war to destroy the country starts again."

"The Ming Dynasty's treasury cannot afford it."

"People will also complain."

"Not to mention how vast the world is."

"With the current situation of Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to win over other countries."

Ye Xuan felt a little slanderous in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty could not even handle the surrounding countries, such as Tatar, Oara and other countries. There were still Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen remnants of the Ming Dynasty. How could it achieve external territorial expansion when it was suffering from internal and external troubles.

The national economic situation is worrying again.

Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to let the people of the country save together, but it would have to wait until the middle of the Ming Dynasty decades later for the Ming Dynasty to recover a little bit of the economy.

If the Ming Dynasty really wants to launch expansion at this time.

The economy will collapse.

Internal and external forces will cause chaos.

The entire Ming Dynasty will fall into chaos.

It may even perish.

Zhu Xiongying's chubby little face had a frown on his face.

Thoughtful.

"Sir, if that's the case, when will our Ming Dynasty be able to expand its borders and territories?"

Zhu Gaoxu Xiaotuanzi stood up and asked with energy on his face.

Ye Xuan glanced at the little dumpling.

I saw the eagerness on his face.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di have very similar personalities and are good at fighting.

In the future, Zhu Gaoxu will help Zhu Di on the battlefield many times.

Only then could Zhu Di successfully replace Zhu Yunzhen and win the Ming Dynasty.

"Based on the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, we will have to wait at least several decades."

"At that time, Ming Dynasty's national economy will turn around."

"You have all grown up to be feudal kings."

"The country has become stronger."

"Most of the internal and external worries have been resolved."

"That's when it's appropriate to expand our territory."

"So, you must study hard now so that you can be a good vassal king when you grow up, guard our Ming territory, and expand our territory."

Ye Xuan coaxed the group of little dumplings, and Yu Guang secretly glanced at Zhu Yunwen from the corner of his eye.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, what he did was to reduce the vassal status.

However, he was too hasty.

Five feudal kings were killed at once.

One of them was forced to commit suicide by setting himself on fire.

Precisely because Zhu Yunwen was too anxious, everyone in the vassal king was in danger, and Zhu Di could only rebel.

"There are actually some benefits to having more vassal kings. It allows them to guard our Ming Dynasty, and it also allows them to expand territory."

"We have such a vast territory outside the Ming Dynasty, which is just right for those vassal kings to expand their territory."

Ye Xuan said deliberately.

I hope that if Zhu Yunwen really ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will stop thinking about cutting down the vassal states and stop internal fighting, and just let the group of vassal kings attack other countries.

Ye Xuan taught the emperor and his grandchildren that if the day comes when the Ming Dynasty can expand its territory, it can use the Central Plains as the center and the other vassal kings as subordinate princes to fight for hegemony in the world.

The relationship between the two can be similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty and other princes.
