Chapter 7 Reading History on a Moonlit Night
Back in the bedroom, Yu Le saw two bookcases full of books, and remembered the afternoon poetry.
He knew that his understanding of the world was still too superficial, and he had to read more books and become familiar with the world, especially the characters who appeared in history and literary history.
Because his literary knowledge in his previous life may itch the world at any time, whether the world trembles or smiles, he must be clear, not confused.
Yu Le spent two hours quickly flipping through the five volumes of "A Brief History of China", and his neck was a little sore. Rubbing his tired eyes, he moved his stiff neck and emptied his brain for a while.
After resting for a while, Yu Le recalled the historical knowledge of his previous life, and then compared it with the summary of the country and the historical figures in this set of brief histories, he couldn't help but sigh, and sighed: "The country is not a person, and the country is not a person!" ”
Closing the book, Yu Le's expression was a little confused.
Due to physical reasons, in the first few days of his arrival in this world, he and the villagers of Qingshan Village did not meet each other, and they were not familiar with each other, even his grandfather and grandmother. Therefore, the world was foreign to him.
"A Brief History of China" gave him a different feeling, and the introduction of the Chinese Federation in the book was both familiar and unfamiliar.
It is familiar that the ancient mythological characters until the early Warring States period were the same as the records of the earth, such as the early Warring States period, and finally there were ten kingdoms left, namely Yan, Qi, Song, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin, Zhongshan, Yue, and Chu, and most of the other princes perished. The borders of each country are more or less than in previous lives.
The peculiar thing is that the hundred schools of thought are basically the same as those in the previous life, and what is even more peculiar is that the representatives of the hundred schools of thought actually attack each other, each with a set of skills. The survival of these ten vassal states is also the credit of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
At the initiative of the representatives of the hundred schools of thought, the ten countries jointly founded the Huaxia Alliance Cultural Academy, which was responsible for cultivating all kinds of statecraft and various technical talents for the vassal states, and Huaxia entered a period of temporary and stable development.
With the rise of the ethnic minorities in the frontier, the vassal states close to the frontier often faced severe war tests, and sometimes in order to protect themselves, they did not hesitate to close the city and defend themselves, causing the border wars to invade the Central Plains countries.
After repeated times, the vassal states of the Central Plains could not sit idly by and watch the tiger fight, and the establishment of an alliance was proposed, and one member of each of the ten countries was sent as a member of the alliance, and finally decided on the rationing of foreign wars, troops, and food.
At the same time, it is also stipulated that the territory of each vassal state is clear, the newly occupied territory is jointly occupied and managed by the alliance, and the tax is shared among the countries in proportion.
In this way, the territory of the ten kingdoms remained unchanged for thousands of years, but the territory of the alliance continued to expand to maintain the arrogant and lascivious life of the royal families, and finally the land area reached more than 20 million square kilometers, expanding some areas of the surrounding countries in the previous life, and becoming ten vassal states, and eighty-one states.
Until modern times, all countries in the world have developed, and there are not only military collisions with each other, but also economic exchanges.
As many powerful countries in the world entered the capitalist era, the vassal states of China despised the capitalist system due to the constraints of traditional culture and clung to the traditional governance model that had lasted for thousands of years.
After thousands of years of development, the Huaxia Alliance Cultural Academy has not only opened branches in various vassal states, but also established branches in newly opened states.
With a vast territory, long-term and stable social development, and the talents cultivated by the college are favored by the states and are very well paid, so they maintain an open-mindedness, worry, and a sense of responsibility.
The ten vassal states had a heavy tax burden on the newly established states, but they did not bear the public expenses of the states, which led to the outdated and backward facilities of the states, and the people's lives were poor.
Not only that, but the people of the vassal states did not benefit at all, and all the wealth they collected was wantonly squandered by the major nobles and powerful people of the vassal states, making them live a life of arrogance and lasciviousness.
All strata vigorously criticized the disadvantages of the division of feudal feuds among the princes, and actively promoted the deposition of the power of the princes and monarchs in the vassal states.
After nearly a hundred years of struggle, the monarchs of the vassal states maintained their high-pressure authoritarian rule through bloody repression and speech control, but their national strength was gradually withering, and the people were struggling to make a living.
In the face of the economic invasion and war plunder of the Western powers, the vassal states had their own selfish intentions and could not unite against foreign enemies, resulting in invasions similar to the Opium War and the Eight-Nation Alliance, which put the Chinese nation in danger of extinction.
The political and economic crisis of Yan zhòng finally forced the Huaxia Alliance Cultural Academy to emerge, gather the strength of all students to promote social change, and finally establish Hua. Xia Lian. Bangmin. Governance. system, the Prime Minister's Cabinet system is implemented, and the President is the head of state.
The magnates of the vassal states were not willing to lose power in politics, and with the wealth accumulated over thousands of years, they actively formed various political parties or political groups, and at the same time established various lobbying groups to consolidate their political position and develop their economic strength.
With the passage of time, with the efforts of the political elite, the Chinese Democratic Alliance finally gradually changed from a state of fragmentation, internal and external troubles, rampant corruption, and extremely low government efficiency, and introduced various laws to restrict the financial monopoly giants, so that the family industries of the former princes were separated, thus prompting the emergence of various new industrial giants.
At the same time, in the face of conflicts and contradictions in various interests, a set of balanced policies and regulations have been promulgated one after another.
When Yu Le read about these historical events, he was shocked and at the same time glad.
In his previous life, as a master of law, he was very fond of law, after all, he had always relied on his legal knowledge to eat.
In this world, we should learn more about the law. Only by being familiar with the law can you better use the rules to plan your own future development path!
Fortunately, the world he came to has a familiar cultural source, and he has read a lot of classics from the hundred schools of thought, and there will be no deviation in cultural identity, and the knowledge of his previous life may give wings to his development.
Yu Le put down "A Brief History of China" and planned to read this series of books carefully this summer. At the same time, he picked up a copy of "Appreciation of Ancient Chinese Poetry", trying to find out if there were any familiar masters and masterpieces.
Flipping through the catalogue, I have some impression of the poet's name but the content of the poem is different, and I roughly looked through dozens of familiar authors and their works, but found that all of them are plausible.
Yu Le pondered this change—the same origin but different flow of cultures. That is, the cultural source of this world has not changed, all countries in the world have the same cultural heritage as the previous life, and the four ancient civilizations are still the same as in the previous life, but in the specific historical development process, many historical events and historical figures have become plausible.
It is impossible for one person to step into the same river, and no two leaves are the same. Yes, even though the two worlds that Yu Le experienced have the same cultural origin, but the specific process of cultural development and historical development has undergone various unknown changes, but why did he come to this planet with the same culture?
Yu Le has all kinds of speculations, but there is never a clear conclusion.
He didn't know whether this cultural change was good or bad, but he gave Yu Le a little solace after all.
After all, he has mastered the leftovers of another world culture, and based on the same cultural source, he can create a zào lightly and make the earth civilization shine in this world.
Yu Le doesn't want to think about these things, many things can be understood and explained, but it doesn't necessarily work out as he wants. After all, his understanding of the world is still too superficial, and he can always find his own development path by thinking and observing more in the future.
Standing in front of the shelves of comic books, magazines, and children's stories, Yu Le picked up two comic books and a children's story book to flip through.
The two comics tell the growth story of a basketball teenager, the story setting is not as exciting as "Slam Dunk", but it is also quite inspirational, hot-blooded, and beautiful and youthful love, the story is not over, but there are these two books in the bookcase, and it is estimated that they are still serialized.
The children's story collection is rich in content and has many whimsical ideas, but the language and story structure are too simple, which brings a lot of joy to Yule. Perhaps, Yule's reading habits should be cultivated from comics and children's stories.
An hour passed, and Yu Le closed the book in his hand and took a breath. Looking at the curtains of the windows on the north and south sides tightly covered, and the light flowing throughout the room like water, Yu Le squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and seemed to be in a daze.
Hehe, in fact, Yu Le is tired of reading and pretending to be deep.
"Well, the harvest is huge!" Putting away the comic books and children's stories in his hand, Yu Le said with a very stern look.
Wash and sleep, naïve teenager, you can continue to read this children's story tomorrow.
Yu Le walked out of the bedroom to the bathroom and finished washing, seeing that the light in his grandfather's bedroom had been extinguished, he went back to sleep.
