After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Ang established Wei, and the Wei Dynasty was the first to establish a school system in various places, and established a school mission. Based on the theories of a hundred schools, there are countless speakers at the beginning of the school, and there are endless contentions.

At the peak of the style of study, the theories of physics, arithmetic, literature, and history were passed down to the world, laying the foundation for later generations.

On the west side, there is the Protectorate of the Western Regions, along the Silk Road, the trade convoy is connected by cars and horses, all the way to the west.

Under the wind and sand, the sound of bells hanging from the camel's neck echoes on the roads leading to the world.

When learning is in its prime, the national strength is strong, and the art of smelting iron and smelting is used to make a blade with the army, so that the army and horses are strong. The energy of water conservancy and agriculture can be used to reform field cultivation and seedling breeding, so as to double grain production. The principles of arithmetic and physics are used to learn from things and understand the world, so that the world can be wise.

Countless theories began here, and countless creations appeared in people's minds for the first time from here.

Countless people saw the signposts at that intersection, and walked step by step to those countless roads, those roads are different, but they lead to the same place, and that is a better way to the world.

These are no longer the achievements of one person, but an era created by the people of an era with their life's work, an era that is enough to be passed on to future generations and remembered, an era of the heyday of China, and an era in which the Han and Turkish civilization has set milestones.

Later generations said that Tongyuan was prosperous.

However, this is not because of the name of the country, the word Yuan has the meaning of beginning, the beginning, and the meaning of the world of Tongyuan, the prosperous era that leads to the beginning of everything. From here started too many things, although many are still immature. But from this point on, people began to understand the world more clearly.

No one likes to live outside the Saiwai, not to mention the long yellow sand that you can't see at a glance, there is really nothing to see. Even the weather outside the fortress is not good, and people who are hot during the day are panicked, and at night they are shivering.

In addition, living in the outer frontier of the Seychelles, you will always be harassed by horse thieves or Hun soldiers and horses, which is really hard to think that living here is a good thing.

The only ones who will run to this kind of place are probably those merchants who want money and don't want their lives.

A few years ago, the Xiongnu invaded southward, and horse thieves often ransacked nearby villages, which made people near the border pass panic.

Perhaps it was because of rumors that the imperial court had begun to reorganize its military horses and prepare for the crusade against the Xiongnu. In the last two years, their lives have been much more stable.

There were hardly many horse thieves to be seen, and even the Hun cavalry, which was always running outside the fortress, was much less.

However, there are still some rumors.

It is said that the horse thief Huns did not come not because they heard the news of the imperial court, but because in this desert, there are unjust ghosts asking for their lives.

It is said that the unjust ghost was originally a villager who was robbed and killed by horse thieves nearby, and after his death, his resentment turned into a powerful ghost, and he swam in the desert to the fate of people.

She often wears a black robe to keep out the wind and sand, and when she walks in the desert, she doesn't even leave footprints, as if she came out of thin air. He always carried a black stick in his hand, some said it was a walking stick, some said it was a thin sword.

But no one who met her, whether it was a horse thief with only a dozen people or a small squad of Hun cavalry with dozens of people, no one could come back alive.

I heard that someone had seen it with his own eyes, a group of twenty or thirty horse thieves, all of whom sealed their throats with one sword, and the blood flowed so that the sand near them were red. When the wind blew, the sand that blew over buried the corpses bit by bit, as if the desert had eaten them.

When he looked around, he seemed to see a man in a distance, dressed in a black robe, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared again.

Anyone who has heard these rumors will unconsciously shudder for a while, but there are not many people who believe it, after all, this is not the old age when only ghosts and gods were paid attention to.

Even in a place like the border gate, the Han people can recognize some words to some extent, and after reading the book for a few days, it is good to know this strange power and chaos.

In a small village at the border.

"Squeak, squeak." There was a sound of wheels rattling, and a car passed by the road.

The cart had a strange appearance, and the back looked like a normal trailer, but instead of horses or mules, it was an iron frame with two wheels.

A person sat on the iron shelf, stepping on the pedals on both sides, and the iron shelf actually moved on its own, and even pulled the trailer behind.

Passers-by on both sides of the road didn't even turn their heads when they saw such a car, and continued to walk on their own as if they were used to seeing it.

This car is called a pedal car, and it does not need to be pulled by animals, as long as someone steps on it, it will drive forward on its own.

I heard that it was made by students from a college in the Central Plains, and if it had been more than ten years ago, they would have watched it in a new way, but now some businessmen often use this kind of car, and they have seen it a lot.

Although this kind of car can save a lot of money without cattle and horses, it requires a lot of manpower and cannot go too long, and only the kind of small traders who do not go far will use it.

Next to the pedalcar, a man walked through the crowd and walked towards a stall on the side of the road.

She wore a robe that covered her mouth and nose so that people could not see clearly.

This kind of attire is very common for people on the edge of the desert, and it is uncomfortable to let the wind and sand blow into the nose, and many people will choose to wear a robe.

Beneath the man's robe was a brownish-gray cloth shirt, and there seemed to be something hanging from his waist, but it was not clear to see it when it was covered in the robe.

Looking at her dusty appearance, she should be an outsider who has just crossed the desert.

She walked to the stall, this stall is to buy dry food, although this kind of dried food is not delicious, but it can be stored for a long time, it is full, a piece of bread is enough for one person to eat for a day or two, it is a necessary thing for people who travel long distances.

She reached out and picked up four dry cakes and asked the vendor, "How much is this?" ”

The vendor smiled and stretched out two fingers: "Four coins." ”

The man handed out five copper plates and a water bag and said, "Give me another bag of water." ”

"Okay." The vendor was a neat man, and after taking the copper plate, he helped the man wrap up the dry cakes, and then went to fetch water with a water bag.

The man in a black robe stood by the stall for a moment.

"Hey, I heard that the imperial court is going to send an army?"

Passers-by on the road are chatting and walking by, and people near the border gate are talking about these days.

"Yes, there are those Huns who are good-looking."

In the 300th year of Wei, the Xiongnu invaded south, and the imperial court sent troops north.
