My name is Yang Hong, I was originally a county magistrate, I thought that I would be able to climb to the sky in one step if I climbed the father-in-law next to the prince, if I hadn't been demoted to a county magistrate now, I would have almost believed it!

"Yang Xiancheng, what are you doing in a daze?" Sitting on the main seat, Zhong Xuan looked at Yang Hong with a smile.

"Huh? Hiroshi is rude, Hiroshi is rude. Yang Hong didn't dare to snub the "red man" beside His Royal Highness, and apologized again and again.

They are now in Mengjin County, and Liu Wei is not short of money now, and he uses a lot of gold and silver to move Zhong Xuan and Yang Hong here. Don't underestimate that it's just a county, the forces here can be described as intricate, Axiu's original mausoleum is here, and the descendants of Axiu's mausoleum are still breeding here, and they may throw down a brick, and the person who smashed it is the hero of Liu Xiu's world.

Moreover, this is an important ferry port of the Yellow River and the location of Mengjindu. The famous Xiaolangdi Dam in later generations is also here, and most of the Jingshi in and out of Caoyun are ferryed from here, and then transported into Jingshi, holding here, it can be said that it is choking the neck of Jingshi!

Zhong Xuan instructed with a smile: "Your Highness has specially ordered, the most important thing in Mengjin is the ferry!" Therefore, Yang County was specially ordered to be stationed at Mengjin Ferry to take charge of all matters! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yang Hong is overjoyed, it seems that although he has been demoted, this position will not be changed even if it is ten thousand gold! Cao Yun, think about it with your ass and know how much interest it contains.

Now that I have become the god there, as long as I hook my hand, I have all kinds of money and beauties!

Zhong Xuan looked at Yang Hong's smiling eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of His Highness's previous words:

"Mr. Yuan Chang, if you go to Mengjin, others will definitely think that my goal is Mengjindu. Their eyes must be on it with all their might. ”

"Although Yang Hong likes to drill camps, but in dealing with cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, three sects and nine streams, he is like a fish in water, and this kind of ability is really incomparable to others. Placing him in Mengjin Harbor should be the most correct. ”

"Then what are we going to do in Mengjin?" Zhong Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Good question!" Liu Wei stood up.

"Zi said, to govern the people in peace, don't be good at courtesy. But is that so?" Liu Wei turned around and asked.

As a disciple of Confucianism, Zhong Xuan naturally believed in this matter, and he replied: "Rites, the scriptures of heaven, and the people's deeds, although the world of etiquette and music is broken today, as long as self-denial and repentance, the prosperity of the king of Zhou will not ......be far away."

"Wrong!" Liu Wei immediately retorted: "Why did Zuo Chuan say that etiquette is righteousness, righteousness is profit, benefit the common people, and the great festival of politics!"

"Only the people are rich, they know the etiquette when they are rich, the people have food, the people have clothes, and the people have support! Talent and etiquette are born of abundance, and theft can only arise from poverty. ”

Liu Wei looked at a roll of bamboo slips on the table, his expression was very complicated, there was a great political commentator, writer and thinker in the late Han Dynasty. It can be said that if the people in the court and China pay attention to his thoughts, they may be able to skip the rule of the gate valve for hundreds of years, and even extend the life of the Han Dynasty.

His friend is also very good, a Dou Zhang, an official to the great Honglu. A Ma Rong, a famous scholar and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has two disciples, probably familiar to most people, one is called Lu Zhi and the other is Zheng Xuan.

The last friend, who is even more explosive, is Zhang Heng, the greatest astronomer, mathematician, inventor, geographer and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When I was in junior high school, I saw the geodynamic instrument in history textbooks, and the armillary sphere was invented by Zhang Heng, a top boss. He was even the first person in China to theoretically obtain the value of π.

To make friends with such a group of bigwigs, you have to have two brushes.

However, even such a person who has been famous in the local area for a long time, because he is the son of a concubine, was born in Liangzhou, where the Xiongnu and the Qiang people are mixed, but he has never been an official in his life. This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Eastern Han Dynasty and its doomed sorrow.

Liu Wei knew that when this person went to invite again, this 80-year-old man had already passed away for two or three years, and he was Liangzhou Wang Fu, Wang Jiexin.

Although Liu Wei did not get Mr. Wang Fu, he got the "Treatise on the Hidden Husband" written by him among his descendants, and the etiquette was born in wealth, and theft began in poverty. It's from that bamboo slip.

The world is impermanent, and the heavens are unfortunate, and it is Wang Fu's thought that prompted Liu Wei to start not taking the road of business, but agriculture.

People can't eat enough, and they talk about other things? The cultivation technology of the Han Dynasty can be said to be very backward, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is not inferior to that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so why can't it afford to support a population of 40 or 50 million Han people?

Just look at the population of the state, the thirteen states in the world, cool, harmonious, secluded, and sparsely populated, except for important cities, other places are either desolate, or all ethnic groups live together. Now there is no granary in the south of the Yangtze River,

Even the future Jingnan, where "the two lakes are ripe and the world is full", is also a wild place that scholars and doctors are unwilling to touch, and outside its city is the world of Wuxi Barbarian who has repeatedly surrendered and rebelled.

The reason why the Ming and Qing dynasties were able to feed so many people was that the Southern Song Dynasty and the subsequent development of the south could be said to have made great contributions.

At this time, the essence of the Han people's residence was still all north of the Yangtze River, Sili, Yong, Chong, Hebei, Xu, and Yang. These places were home to 70 percent of the Han population.

With this alone, we can know why even Shu Han, who owns the entire Yizhou, and Sun Wu, who owns half of Jingzhou, half Yangzhou, and one Jiaozhou, unite two vs. one against Wei and are still powerless.

Under the relatively stable political situation, the Wei State could flatten the two countries by relying on the population gap alone.

Therefore, the Han people cultivated not much land in a limited area, and besides, the cultivation technology was backward. Although there is a cow ploughing and horse ploughing technology, the mu of the upper field produces 100 stones of millet, the middle field is 50 or 60 stones, and the lower field is only 278 stones. Coupled with the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, natural disasters continued, and grain production continued to decline.

And the ancient Chinese technology tree is always uncertain, horse farming technology existed in the Western Han Dynasty, disappeared after the death of the Han Dynasty, and reappeared in the Tang Dynasty. Chrome plating technology, memory metal Warring States period, Qin Dynasty existed, and then disappeared.

In the previous Han Dynasty, wheat was always hated because the Han people had always used grain food, whether steamed or boiled, the taste of wheat was far inferior to that of "millet" (millet). In later excavations, it was found that stone grinding was unearthed in the Neolithic Age, and the grinding technology disappeared in this way.

The main reason for this is that the Han people are too fond of self-cherishing brooms, and have developed a superb technology, which is often hidden tightly, even if others learn from their teachers, their first thought is to "keep a hand". You keep one hand, I keep one hand, and a technology that may be great is left lame like this.

And as their own heirloom food guys, more than also pass on men but not women, wear inside and outside, after the Tang Dynasty, the status of craftsmen dropped significantly, the Han Dynasty had carpenters to seal the marquis, and the Tang Dynasty had Yu Wenkai to restore Chang'an.

After that, the Song Dynasty began to be inferior in everything, only the reading is high, Song Zhenzong's poems can be described as popular, and the book has its own golden house and its own Yan Ruyu in the book. He sang about the era when the scholar had the highest status, the scholar and the Son of Heaven ruled the world together, and also sang about the sorrow of the people in the world.

Di Qing was frightened to death by the literati, the tragedy of the Yang generals, the nonsense of Yue Fei, the self-exile of Han Shizhong, the world's scholars and emperors rule the world together, what are you martial artists?

This is true even now. You play politics more than technology. cough cough cough ...... Far from it.
