Chapter 28: Eastern View
Yuan Yao took Yu Shi and several guards to run all the way in Luoyang City, looking at the surrounding houses that were burned most of the houses on the way, Yuan Yao's mood felt very sad for some reason. In his previous life, Yuan Yao lived in a peaceful era, and most of his knowledge of disasters came from information transmission, and he did not have personal experience. Therefore, although Yuan Yao knew that war would bring endless disasters, it was only after Yuan Yao experienced it himself that he understood what kind of disaster it was.
As for why Yuan Yao is riding a war horse now, it is because on the way to participate in the Princes' Alliance, Yuan Yao can only ride all the way because he can't ride a horse, and later after participating in the Alliance, Yuan Yao began to practice equestrianism, although he can't gallop freely in the war horse, but he can also walk at will.
It's just that Yuan Yao felt that this speed was still too slow, so after running for a short distance, Yuan Yao asked Yu Shi to take himself and ride with Yu She, although this was very uncomfortable, but at least he could increase the speed. And after Yu Shi got Yuan Yao on top of his war horse, his speed was indeed much faster.
Yuan Yao had been following Yuan Shu before, although the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Route was also a big war under the two Xiongguan of Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, but it did not affect the people, until now, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang City, forcibly moved the people of Luoyang to Chang'an, and saw Luoyang City that had been burned by fire, Yuan Yao only clearly realized at this time how much impact a war would have on the people.
During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the population of the Han Dynasty was roughly about 50 million, but after the three-legged establishment of Wei, Shu and Wu, there were less than 8 million people left. Although Yuan Yao knew about this before, after all, it was only data on paper, and Yuan Yao's feelings were not very deep. But at this moment, after seeing the tragic situation in Luoyang City, Yuan Yao sounded the sharp reduction in the number of people in the world in the past few decades, and a colic came from the depths of his heart.
Yuan Yao in his previous life had never experienced war, although he knew the horror of war, but those were all known through things on paper, at this moment he was running in Luoyang City with Yu She, and seeing the tragic situation in Luoyang City, Yuan Yao's heart was unspeakably uncomfortable.
At this moment, Yuan Yao desperately wanted to end the war and let such a tragedy never happen again.
Yuan Yao was naturally not a saint, but seeing such a tragedy happening in front of his eyes, it was impossible to make Yuan Yao indifferent.
Yu Shi naturally didn't know Yuan Yao's mental activity at this time, but this did not prevent him from feeling Yuan Yao's changes. When Yuan Yao and Yu Shi stopped in front of a building, Yu Shi suddenly felt that Yuan Yao seemed to have changed something. This feeling came very abruptly, making Yu Shi even wonder if it was his own delusion.
But looking at Yuan Yao, who looked indifferent at the moment, Yu Shi suddenly realized that his feelings did not seem to be an illusion, and the feeling that Yuan Yao gave Yu Shi at this moment was very different from before, which was an indescribable change in temperament, which made Yu Shi unable to speak.
Yu Shi naturally didn't know that Yuan Yao had already made a decision in his heart just now, when Yuan Yao first came to this world more than two months ago, he didn't have a clear decision about what he wanted to do in this world, whether to go to one of the princes to live a stable life for a lifetime or compete in the world, Yuan Yao didn't make a decision.
Even if Yuan Yao later decided to help Yuan Shu change his life against the sky, let Yuan Shu leave the doomed road and embark on a bright road, Yuan Yao still had some hesitation in his heart, because this was not destined to be a smooth road.
Originally, according to Yuan Yao's idea of coming to this world, he was based on his vision beyond this era to let himself live a stable and prosperous life, but it was not until this moment, seeing the tragic situation of Luoyang City being burned by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Yao's heart was settled, and now he finally decided what to do.
He wants the people of the world to be free from the suffering of war. At least in the land he ruled.
He Yuan Yao may not be able to control the world now, to be precise, Yuan Yao can't control anywhere now, but Yuan Yao swore that one day he would let the people in the region he rule not be affected by war.
It was precisely because of such a decision in his heart that when Yuan Yao arrived at the destination with Yu Shi and several guards, Yu Shi felt that Yuan Yao had changed, because Yuan Yao had indeed changed.
In the past, Yuan Yao wanted more to let him live well in such a troubled world, but now Yuan Yao wants not only to let him live well, but also to let the people he recognizes live well and live and work in peace and contentment.
Yuan Yao didn't care what happened to the people in the other people's ruling regions, but as long as he or the people within the rule of his cheap father Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao would let them live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from war.
"Let's go!"
Yuan Yao took Yu Shi and several guards into a building, looking at the flames that were still burning, Yuan Yao with a cold face ordered Yu Shi and the others to go down to put out the fire, and be sure to snatch out all the books in this building.
Dongguan is the place where archives, classics and school books and writings are stored in the court of the Han Dynasty, and there are five classics, Zhuzi, biographies, and hundreds of arts, which is almost equivalent to the national library of later generations.
The place where Yuan Yao and Yu Shi are now is Dongguan, and after entering Luoyang City, Yuan Yao first thought of Dongguan. In addition to books or books, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and took away all the things he took with him, and Dong Zhuo didn't have the extra mind to bring these books to Chang'an. In Dong Zhuo's heart, it is better to take these books with him than to make a little space and bring more gold, silver and jewelry.
In this era, even if it is possible to cultivate, some basic things have not changed, for example, in this era, knowledge is still in the hands of a few people.
If you want to acquire knowledge, you need books, but books in this era are very precious, and if anyone has a book at home, it will definitely be regarded as a family heirloom and passed on.
Why does Guan Erye like to read Spring and Autumn at night, because Guan Erye only has such a book at home, so he naturally reads it like a baby, and he slowly likes it when he reads it. Even if it is not a problem to get some books as Guan Erye in the future, Guan Erye still likes to read Spring and Autumn.
In this era, if there is really a bookshelf collection at home, then it can really be called a scholarly family, it is rumored that Cai Yong has a collection of thousands of books, which really makes Yuan Yao envious, with Yuan Yao knowing, Runan Yuan's family is the first family in the world, and the number of books seems to be inferior to Cai Yong.
Of course, this is just what Yuan Yao knows.
