Chapter 911: What did Mr. Defoe think?
Sayo: "Well, actually speaking of it, this must be the author's weirdness..."
Qian Ai: "Well...I have thought about all the issues Makiko mentioned."
Qian Ai: "The reason should be that the author Defoe doesn't know much about real life on a desert island, right? So many places are unrealistic."
Yoshiyuki: "Uh... Actually, I've heard a saying that seems quite reasonable."
Yoshiyuki: "That is to say, the economic situation in Britain was very bad at that time, so it encouraged everyone to go to overseas colonies to work hard."
Yoshiyuki: "The government promotes the outside world, especially America, as a paradise."
Yoshiyuki: "Although it is true that there are richer products and a more pleasant climate than Europe. But they exaggerated too much. They said that if you just grow crops there, the price will skyrocket, there will be endless prey, and the climate will be pleasant all year round and almost
A paradise without disease."
Yoshiyuki: "Countless scholars have also endorsed the British government, saying that as long as they are there, anyone can start from scratch. If you bring enough money, you can buy slaves and start a plantation. The more slaves you have, the more money you can make. As long as you bring enough money with you, you can buy slaves and start a plantation.
If you continue to increase the value of your assets and buy more black slaves, you can become a master like the nobles."
Yoshiyuki: "As soon as these words came and went, many people who had dreams and whose careers were frustrated during the economic crisis were deceived into selling their belongings and boarding ships to America."
Yoshiyuki: "And Defoe was a famous and fanatical supporter of the colonial cause at that time. Therefore, he would beautify America and other places in his books. Even if it is just a desert island, it is rich in products. There are endless grapes to pick.
Endless goats to hunt..."
Sayo: "...Ah, speaking of goats, I remember in that book he kept dozens of goats in captivity. It was obviously a small piece of grassland, but he could just plant some shrubs and let the sheep multiply. It was really weird.
What about reality?”
Yoshiyuki: "Yes, I don't know if he really thought that the land outside the European continent is so fertile, or if he wrote it like this on purpose. In short, it is very unrealistic..."
Yoshiyuki: "In addition, Robinson lived alone in the wilderness where there were many mosquitoes and had no medicine at all. He only got malaria once in more than ten years, and he cured it by chewing tobacco leaves, which are not beneficial in treating such diseases. This is
It’s completely incomprehensible…”
Yoshiyuki: "Similar to what I just said, you can think that he has some misunderstanding about the outside world and the efficacy of tobacco leaves, or you can think that he deliberately made everyone think that there are no infectious diseases in America..."
Nao: "Hehe~ After all, the land in Europe at that time, except for France, was indeed very barren! And infectious diseases were also coming one after another~"
Qian Ai: "Well...I haven't even considered what Yoshiyuki just said."
Qian Ai: "...Even now, I don't know what Mr. Defoe is thinking."
Qian Ai: "However, his novels are very interesting! That's enough."
Makiko: "Well... I just listened to what Robinson was eating and it made me so hungry..."
Makiko: "Does anyone have snacks?"
Nao: "Speaking of which, I seem to have put a fish intestine in my schoolbag a long time ago... Let me see if it's still there... Ah, it is indeed there!"
Nao: "Here you go~"
Makiko: "Oh, thank you!"
The so-called fish intestines are fish and ham sausages.
Although pork ham sausage was also invented in Japan, it is rare to see it in Japan. The ones you can buy are basically fish-based ones, and most of them are cheese-flavored.
At this time, Makiko Kodera happily took the fish intestines.
However, as soon as I was about to open it, I saw the expiry date on the package, which expired three days ago!!
The so-called consumption period refers to the shelf life of food.
In addition, there is a much shorter best tasting period.
