Chapter 32 Three hundred and seventy years of the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain
In the First Battle of Yincheng, 400,000 Turkic cavalry were defeated by the Sui army, and more than 100,000 people were killed in the battle, and as many as 150,000 soldiers were captured and missing, most of whom were later absorbed by the Sui army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After this battle, the Turks were greatly injured, and Shibi Khan was even more ill, and since then he was unable to launch an attack on the Sui army, so he could only send envoys to Luoyang to sue for peace, in exchange for Yang Guang's forgiveness, lest he raise troops to the north in a fit of anger, or cut off the border ports, and completely cut off the resources needed to sweep the Yuan.
Yang Guang is very proud, he has been in a bad mood recently, such as the failure of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the Sui army suffered heavy losses, and then there were rebellions in the country one after another, the Sui army was not going well everywhere, and it coincided with the Turkic people's army to detain the pass, this series of bad news hit him a lot, fortunately Pei Ju did not disappoint him at this time, and finally gave him a beautiful victory, which not only resolved a big crisis in the empire, but also greatly enhanced the influence of the imperial court, and also improved the confidence and morale of the army and the people.
Yang Guang has always been lenient to people of other races, so not only did he not punish the actions of the Turks, but also rewarded the Turks with a large amount of goods and cloth, without considering whether the treasury that has been unable to cover the current revenue can be handled, anyway, he just wants to reward, and he will reward it when he is happy in his heart.
Yang Guang, like many historical kings, is a typical type of good and great joy, and especially likes to show his mind in front of people of different races, he imposed all kinds of harsh taxes and heavy conscription on his Han people, forcing them to have no way to survive, they can only rise up, but on the other hand, he is very merciful to foreign races such as Turkic and Goguryeo, when sending troops to Goguryeo, it is stipulated that as long as the other party wants to surrender, the army cannot attack the city, and for the Turks, After the other party's attempt to subvert his rule was thwarted, he not only did not blame or hold him accountable, but doubled the reward.
This behavior completely chilled the hearts of the people and scholars in the world, letting them know that their emperor regarded them like a mustard at all, and did not pay attention to them at all.
"Pavilion Master, Du Fuwei of the Jianghuai generation asks to see you!"
I had just finished reading the war reports sent by the imperial court to various places, and at this time I was upset in my heart, and I felt very angry about Yang Guang's mentality of treating one's own people as not people and treating foreigners as treasures, which was exactly the same as the admiration of foreign countries by the Chinese in later generations, from top to bottom, from the government to the people.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guang is such a Yang Guang, although he is not a foreigner, but this differential treatment really makes Liu Zhi disappointed in him.
He was upset at this time, what Du Fuwei and what the generals of the righteous army, he didn't want to see it, but according to the rules of Langya Pavilion, but according to the rules of Langya Pavilion, the attendant still let Du Fuwei write down his own questions, went through a scene, and then sent him away.
There is no entertainment in this time and space, the diesel generator he brought from later generations is not oil, so it can't work, as for what wind power generation, hydroelectric power, it is a big project, he must not be able to do it alone, and he is not a professional, so he has no problem with the circuits and lines involved in a little more complex, so it is obviously unrealistic to bring the future science and technology power into the Sui Dynasty era.
So to pass the time, he brought a lot of seeds from the afterlife, including flowers and plants, and all kinds of crops, such as cotton and corn in the row on the left side of his yard.
There was no cotton in ancient China, so the clothing at this time was made of silk, linen, silk and brocade, of which silk needless to say, was the most expensive material, silk was also an important export material, the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty, has been an important channel for exchanges between the East and the West, and the reason why it is called the Silk Road, the main reason is because there is a large amount of silk flowing into the West.
With the exception of silk used by the upper class, most of the common people wore them made of hemp. There are many types of hemp, including ramie, jute, green hemp, hemp, flax, Luobu hemp and hibiscus, among which flax is used more, and the yield is relatively high, and it is widely used in garment.
Mai is too much worse than silk, not to mention anything else, just the texture, Mai is notoriously coarse, its fibers are very long and thick, so it is easier to weave, but this kind of thing is not comfortable to wear.
The cotton planted by Liu Zhi, if popularized, will become a new material, cheaper than silk, more comfortable than linen, and the processing industry is relatively simple, if promoted, it will greatly improve the people's lives.
At this time, there was no quilt, the Sui and Tang dynasties were fine, and the weather was relatively warm, but from the Song Dynasty to the middle and late Qing Dynasty, this period of time was a cold period, and before the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, this period of time also belonged to the cold period.
When people study history in later generations, they will find that whenever it is in the cold period, ancient China will be in a period of relatively turbulence, the national strength is not very strong, and foreign races frequently invade, so why is this so?
This question is very complicated, even in later generations there is no accurate answer, but Liu Zhi has read an academic article before, the point of view is: because of the arrival of the ice age, the temperature drops, crop yields are reduced, the main grain production locations in ancient China are in the north, with Guanzhong, Central Plains, Hebei and Bashu four places are the most, except for the location of Bashu slightly south, several other places are located in the north, as soon as the temperature drops, the grain production will be reduced, and a large number of farmers will suffer from hunger, Therefore, it is easy to have such things as peasant uprisings, which are undoubtedly fatal to the rule of the empire.
But there is another reason, that is, at this time, everyone is not covered with a quilt, at this time most of us just use a blanket, or a thin quilt covered, which is indiscriminately packed with some wadding, at this time there is no cotton wool, so most of these fillers are reeds and rags, and the southerners can also fill some straw into it, but the north is miserable, there is no straw, and you can't fill the wheat straw into it, right? Don't even think about sleeping that night.
In the warm years that are not the ice age, this is better to say, everyone squeezed at night, and it passed, but as soon as the ice age came, I dropped obediently, the temperature dropped by four or five degrees, the food was not eaten, and it was frozen at night, there was no way to live, so it was simply the opposite, so the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, for hundreds of years, had been chaotic, until the Sui and Tang dynasties were established, which created several dynasties.
