As soon as these words were said, everyone in the Heaven Tribute Hall could not help but feel a little suffocated.
Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden impulse to go to Jianzhou to clear the wasteland was obviously insignificant compared to this famine that was about to last for 500 years.
Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief and asked,
"Will the world really suffer a great calamity for 500 years? This, this…"
Li Shan Chang could not help but become somewhat incoherent. Even though he had been in charge of Great Ming for so many years, Li Shan Chang had never heard of a place that could sustain a famine for five hundred years.
The Great Ming Dynasty was founded on agriculture, and it was self-evident what a continuous five hundred years of cooling meant for an agricultural country.
At this moment.
Liu Bowen brought a few scholars from Hongwen Hall and strode into the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
At this time, Lee Shan Chang couldn't care less about his discord with Liu Bowen. When he saw Liu Bowen, he immediately asked,
"Bowen, is the 500-year famine that His Majesty said true?”
Liu Bowen's face was not surprised, he just nodded slightly and said,
"Duke Han, don't panic. This is a long story.”
After saying that, Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said loudly,
"I, Liu Ji, have already transferred the local chronicles from the first year of Shengong to the first year of Hongwu.”
"How is it?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that there is indeed such a thing.”
After saying that, Liu Ji took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I was ordered to go to Hongwen Hall to check. Before Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, Chang 'an had a total of 19 years without snow.”
"In the documents, I also found something interesting.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious that sweat started to form on his forehead.
"Mr. Liu, don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me!”
"Yes, I discovered that back then, Shu was rich in lychees, and there was even a ride in the world of mortals. No one knew that lychees came from poems that were passed down, but according to the reports of my Ming Dynasty in recent years, lychees have retreated to Lingnan.”
"Not only that, Chang 'an even produced oranges at that time. According to the records in Youyang Zazu, even during the Tianbao period, the Tang Palace still had a bumper harvest of oranges. This is enough to prove that the climate of the Tang Dynasty was indeed much hotter than that of the Ming Dynasty.”
During the Tang Dynasty, it was said that there was a lot of miasma in Lingnan mainly because the temperature at that time was too high. In fact, the climate along the Yangtze River at that time was already close to the average temperature of Lingnan in later generations. As for the climate of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time, it was only slightly lower than the climate near the equator in later generations.
"In addition, I also discovered that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the weather in the world has gradually turned cold.”
" Furthermore, I discovered that during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, there was still a large bamboo forest in the Central Plains. However, as the weather turned cold, the Song court had already abolished the Bamboo Bureau before the Jingkang rebellion…"
At this point, Li Shan Chang and the others were still confused.
They all knew about this.
But what did Liu Bowen mean by taking it out now?
Liu Bowen sighed.
"Don't you understand, Duke Han? From the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan twenty-nine years ago, then to the Five Dynasties and then to Jingkang again!”
Each time the temperature dropped, it represented the An Shi Rebellion, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion, and the Jingkang Rebellion.
Every time the temperature dropped, it meant that the world was in chaos!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Shan Chang's face instantly turned pale.
And this was what shocked Liu Bowen the most during the process of reading. The things that Qin Zhan talked about were actually seamlessly matched with the Fengshui Dragon Vein Technique!
During the early Tang Dynasty, the weather was humid and there was no snow in Chang 'an. The whole of Jiangbei was naturally full of vitality. All things flourished and the jungle was dyed red. Wasn't this the image of the Northern Dragon in the books at that time?
During the Song Dynasty, the temperature in Guanzhong gradually turned cold, the grass withered, and the wind and sand grew heavier. The place was desolate. On the other hand, the Kaifeng generation in the Central Plains gradually had the climate, vegetation, and environment of Chang 'an during the Tang Dynasty due to the drop in temperature. That was why there was the so-called Kaifeng Dragon Qi.
Until the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
As the temperature in the north dropped further, there was no longer any Dragon Qi in the north.
Compared to the north, which was gradually declining, the Jiangnan area, which was gradually losing its heat, seemed to have more of the so-called "dragon aura".
After much consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided to set the capital at Jinling.
At that time, Liu Bowen, who had figured this out, had a sorrowful expression on his face.
The Feng Shui divination that he had painstakingly studied all his life was actually inferior to Qin Zhan, who was only in his twenties!
Wasn't it sad? Isn't it a pity?
Could it be that he had really taken the wrong path?
Liu Bowen paused and continued.
"Your Majesty, I realized that every time the weather turns cold, there will be chaos. Therefore, I continued to search for the remaining historical materials of the various counties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties…"
At this point, everyone present could not help but hold their breaths.
He stared at Liu Bowen.
"During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the world was extremely cold. It was only at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty that it became better. Therefore, if we take the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties as examples, our Ming Dynasty should be at the boundary between cold and warm.”
The climate would not suddenly drop, but would gradually increase. It would not increase day by day, but it would definitely have its advantages day by day. Similarly, it would not decrease day by day, but it would definitely have its losses day by day!
