The main reason why Panama is well-known to the world is probably the Panama Canal connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

But in fact, even if there is no canal here, it should be remembered by the world.

Geographically, the North American continent gradually shrinks here, leaving only a narrow land bridge that is 100 kilometers wide to connect to South America.

In addition, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are also divided into two places. To the west, you can go deeper into the Pacific Ocean and reach Australia and East Asia; to the east, it is the closer West African continent and the Mediterranean. It is an important strategic node.

In fact, Zhao Wei decided to give up the fertile North American plains and choose this place after a long time of struggle.

The reason is that for the remnants of Song Dynasty, which has only 170,000 people, no matter how big or fertile the land is, it does not make much sense. As long as the problem of arable land is enough, it is good.

Anyway, that piece of land is there and you can't escape, so you can take it at any time in the future.

However, Panama's advantages are not available in North America, and there are people here first.

From the perspective of American history, Panama is definitely a magical place.

You will find that it is right at the center of the most civilized Indians and the greatest American civilizations.

As Zhao Wei said, a little upward is the Aztec Empire located in western Mexico in later generations, while the mysterious Mayan city-state occupies the vast jungle of eastern Mexico and Central America.

The birthplace of Pirates of the Caribbean is in the east, and the Chibucha and Inca civilizations to the south are the richest and most developed existences among the Indians.

There is another reason why Zhao Wei firmly convinced his husbands to come here, that is, the old man Toltec said that there were almost no Indian tribes here.

The Mayans and the Chibcha people tacitly left a buffer belt here, but occasionally the Chibcha merchants crossed the continental bridge and took their long cloth to the Mayan city-state, then brought the rubber and Aztec pottery back to South America and handed it to the hands of the Inca king.

In other words, this is almost a homeless land, and the Song Dynasty took root here, which would save a lot of trouble.

More importantly, 80% of the Indian population in North and South America is concentrated in this area.

Secondly, there are resources here.

Potatoes and corn are all produced here, and natural rubber comes from here.

More importantly, Panama is a little further south, the hometown of gold and silver.

Hundreds of years later, the whites used the huge amount of silver produced here to rob the Qing Empire.

Well, I admit it. The reason why Zhao Wei, a local bully, chose this place has nothing to do with potato, corn, and rubber, is that he came for gold and silver.

But Zhao Wei didn't know that his very petty citizen's idea helped Song avoid a "giant pit", which was the North American Plain.

Many people think that the fertile land and rich resources of the North American plain are suitable for the Han people. In fact, that is the solidified thinking of later generations. For the ancients of this era, if they really settled there, the Song Dynasty would be completely disheartened.

Because the ancients more than a thousand years ago could not control the geographical environment of North America.

Unlike the Central Plains where most of the mountains, rivers and rivers travel east-west, the North American water systems and mountains are travel north-south.

Later generations of the Abala Chisse Mountains in the eastern United States and the Rocky Mountains in the western United States were arranged from north to south. In summer, the water vapor from the Gulf of Mexico would not block northward, forming an endless large plain terrain, and the land was fertile and suitable for cultivation.

This natural advantage is unmatched by the Chinese region and looks mouth-watering.

Unfortunately, it is precisely the mountains, rivers and rivers that travel north and south that lack east-west mountain barriers, which makes the North American plain unable to block the cold air from the Arctic in winter.

Once the cold air beats the warm and humid airflow, it will immediately become low and severe cold, and it is easy to cause major natural disasters.

Moreover, North America has the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and the Gulf of Mexico in the south. It is almost three sides facing the sea, but it lacks an island chain barrier like the coastal areas of East Asia.

After a hurricane from the ocean is generated, it will not be weakened by the island and will directly land in North America, which is extremely harmful.

This kind of disaster that will occur every other year at most a few years is fatal to agricultural civilization and has no solution.

Even after a thousand years, in order to preserve the agriculture of the Great Plains, the United States had to develop weather control technology to control the direction of hurricanes to a certain extent.

This is also the main reason why most agricultural achievements in the Americas are concentrated in Central and South America, while Indians on the North American plains have always survived by fishing and hunting.

For the current Song people, once they step into the great plain and start to cultivate and plant them without knowing the truth, and once the disaster comes, there is no harvest, it is not a problem of moving and finding a place to go, but they all starve to death on the road to migration.

In short, Zhao Wei was lucky to choose Panama, and it was also the luck of the Song Dynasty. The blind cat met a dead mouse.

However, Zhao Wei had his own plans and came for the yellow and white things, but the husbands didn't know why they chose such a place.

After logging in, after a brief survey, Lu Xiufu shook his head repeatedly: "It's over, let King Ning fool you."

This is definitely the most painful place. At first glance, there are mountains, waters and fertile fields, all of which are enough.

But, it's too fragmentary.

Simply put, the terrain here is like a ridge, with high mountain forests in the middle. The closer you get to the two sides of the shore, the lower the terrain.

During this period, the isthmus rivers are divided into staggered areas, making forests, fertile fields, lakes and mountains mixed together, making it difficult to find a place where more than 100,000 people can cultivate and live.

This made Zhang, Jiang, Lu and other husbands who were silently asked by Ning Wang and learned from their mistakes at sea and studied their development strategies for more than a month completely ruined.

There was no way, the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty had to temporarily set up camps on the coast like they were in Seattle.

The husbands have been discussing things for days in order to come up with a strategy as soon as possible.

Zhao Wei agreed with this.

At least this spirit is worthy of praise, otherwise it would have really become a fugitive.

On this day, Zhao and Luo had a rare leisure time and called Zhao Wei to their tent for supper.

At the dinner table, Zhao Wei was a little angry when he talked about the affairs of the court.

"Damn it! That old bastard Chen Yizhong, don't make a fuss about a family, and you'll find this place sooner or later."

In theory, Zhao Wei is definitely qualified to participate in the deliberations, whether it is title or contributions along the way.

However, Chen Yizhong said that if he is not me, so in order to take care of Mr. Chen's emotions, Empress Dowager Yang had to sacrifice Zhao Wei and let him do it himself.

And he was given privileges, and others could not go out at will, but Zhao Wei could. He also had freedom of entry and exit, and there was no need to report.

After hearing his son's bastard words, Zhao Yuluo did not rebuke them at all, and said softly: "Chen Yuquan's mind is still for the country."

Well, King Cheng also had some complaints about Chen Yizhong. However, if he could leave his wife and daughter behind and accompany the emperor to travel far away to America, he would not mention those small flaws without mentioning them.

Instruct Zhao Wei: "Seeking an opportunity to say something nice to Chen Yuquan, he is not a narrow-minded person either."

Zhao Wei waved his hand, "Don't! You are my real father. Let me speak softly to Chen Yizhong? Let's do it for the next life!"

Not to mention the old man, "By the way, can the court discuss the regulations?"

Zhao Yuluo nodded, "Just settled today."

"Oh?" Zhao Wei immediately felt enlightened when he heard this, "What charter?"

Zhao and Luo said, "Didn't you say before that you should concentrate your craftsmen to manage the households in a unified manner?"

"Yes." Zhao Wei responded.

The previous strategy is indeed like this. To put it bluntly, it is to concentrate on doing big things, manage the craftsmen brought by unifiedly, and reserve military weapons. The rest of the people and the army are united and work together to cultivate farming.

However, Panama is obviously not suitable, so there are variables.

"Now, it is natural. Lu Prime Minister and Jiang Dian Zheng advocate adapting to local conditions. In addition to retaining 30,000 regular soldiers, shipbuilding, and military craftsmen in the imperial front, the remaining soldiers and the people were divided into more than 200 scattered teams, each looking for land that is suitable for farming and forestry, and establishing military camps."

"Military camp?" Zhao Wei suddenly realized. He thought to himself, my husband was indeed still my husband, and there was still a way to do it.

In fact, before, he didn't know that Panama was so fragmented, and it was very difficult after coming, so it was not conducive to collective efforts.

Split military camps is indeed the best solution.

In this way, more than 100,000 people were divided into several small groups, blooming everywhere, and setting up camps, which could solve the problem of fragmented terrain according to the local conditions.

For example, if some places are suitable for cutting trees, they will focus on logging; if some places are suitable for farming, they will only grow grain. All outputs will be given to the court.

In this way, it can not only ensure the lives of more than 100,000 people, but also maximize the savings and surplus, and accumulate strength for the future.

You must know that these tens of thousands of people no longer consider their personal gains and losses. Only by uniting, working together, sleeping on firewood and tasting gall can we return to Song Dynasty.

He couldn't help but say, "At this time, everyone is selfless!"

"When will the division be divided?"

Zhao and Luo nodded in agreement, "If you have selfish intentions, it is difficult to save the danger!"

"When will the military camp be divided?"

"tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"The sooner the better. Today, Prime Minister Lu has brought all civil servants into the people's camps to count craftsmen, good farmers, etc. In the evening, Jiang Shuai also reported all the supervisors of each town. Just wait for tomorrow to distribute soldiers and towns as needed."

"Oh." Zhao Wei said secretly, the movements are so fast and the efficiency is so high!

Just as he was thinking, my father said, "You are also among the guards."

"Ah?" Zhao Wei was stunned, "Me?"

Zhao and Luo smiled, "It's not just you, but also Chen Yizhong, and Su Liuyi, as long as there are no actual ministers and lords in the court, they must take the post of guarding the garrison. Even His Majesty leads the people in order to set an example. He also needs to take the lead of a village as a father."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Wei with a smile, "Aren't you angry that King Lu is taking the credit? Everyone is not convinced and only praises him, don't you? This time, he and King Lu each have hundreds of people's livelihoods, but he has to compare!"

Zhao and Luo are not without the intention of provoking the general.

Although the bastard is a prodigal son, he still makes people feel sad when he occasionally acts like a bastard. It is time for him to do some serious business.

"Don't be able to do anything, you kid. If you are compared by King Lu, you will be embarrassed to your father!"
