"Ah~ It's another beautiful morning, the wind is warm, and people feel very lazy!"

Since the girl named Luo He joined, it was amazing that not only had all those wolves left, but Li Shushi and his party had not even been attacked by any wild beasts since then, so the quality of sleep during this time had also improved significantly. biquge.info Of course, the bad news is not without it, if you don't count the reduction in the experience that the soldiers can gain, then the biggest headache for Li Shushi is the hostility between Meng Lori and the beautiful girl, referred to as natural enemies.

However, two strange creatures who call themselves ladies certainly do not attack their opponents with things like shrews, and from a distance, they look as elegant as noble princesses or queens of the world, and it is impossible to find the slightest fault with them. Of course, this graceful gesture can only be seen from afar, not closely, unless your nerves are thick enough.

At least whether it is Dian Wei and Xu Chu with a simple face, or Tuoba Liwei with an innocent and ignorant face, they have all fallen under the powerful aura of the two people, so except for Li Shushi, who can also follow Su Xiaoluoli to avoid Luo He's eye attack, the others have taken the initiative to stay away from the two beauties, and there is no one else within a radius of three meters with the two beauties as the center.

Of course, the battle between the two people was not completely unhelpful to Li Shushi, at least after finding that the behavior could not distinguish the winner from the loser, the battle between the two began to spread to other areas. And one of them is the competition of cooking skills.

Su Xiao Lori's cooking skills are still very trustworthy after such a long time of testing, but although Luo He is also full of confidence, compared to Su Xiao Lori, who can make complex dishes with very simple ingredients, Luo He's barbecue and boiled broth ...... Although it can't be said that some "geniuses" can make such strange things as murderous hell dishes that normal people can't imagine at all, the victory or defeat is already very obvious, after all, Luo He is not a gloomy ** meat.

Although a certain beautiful girl thinks that Li Shushi is completely illegal black whistle on the grounds that the relationship between the original judge Li Shushi and Meng Lori is too close, but after more than a dozen people have tasted it, even if a beautiful girl makes a look of crying, it's a pity that there is an extremely confident cute Lori next to her to offset the aura of the beautiful girl.,Sure enough, this is an era with the highest Lori control.。

Therefore, Li Shushi's food level during this period has made great progress and improvement, and even the food with all the soldiers has also been greatly improved, on the one hand, because Li Shushi did not eat alone, and rewarded some of the delicious food as a prize to the winners of various interesting competitions on the travel road; On the other hand, it's because a certain girl who gritted her teeth and was unwilling to fail seemed to take it for granted, and she didn't know where to get a lot of ingredients to practice, although it was not as good as Su Xiaololi's level, but Luo He's level was actually still good, but Su Xiaololi as an opponent was too strong.

At this time, the group had already left Qiuci County and was walking south on the way to Shangjun Zhizhi Fushi County, Li Shushi was also quite surprised, after all, the location here was famous in later history in the Celestial Empire soil erosion was the most severe Zhòng Shaanxi Loess Plateau area, in Li Shushi's impression that this place has been strongly eroded, except for a few residual loess plateaus, most of the area has become broken hills. In the meantime, only a few bedrock low mountains protrude above the plateau, which looks like isolated islands.

But in fact, although the area in front of Li Shushi can also be regarded as a forest of ravines, it is very large because of the many rivers, although it cannot reach the legendary southern water network of Cheng dù, but the number of rivers is far beyond Li Shushi's imagination. Therefore, the mountains and ravines here are not as bare as imagined, but yellow.

A sparse green can be seen on many of the hills here, and although it is not dense, it is also thriving, and there is not much decadent gray and white color. If you can come across a relatively large loess plateau, you can also see a grassland on it that is enough for horses to gallop. Even further south, the more frequent this phenomenon becomes.

Looking at the magnificent but lonely scenery on the road, Li Shushi had to sigh that the area that was originally densely populated later was now so desolate. But who is to blame for this? Who said that there is far less land available for cultivation here than in the Central Plains?

You should know that although there is not necessarily a shortage of water here, first of all, this is a loess accumulation area. The large-scale glacial movement that erupted during the Ice Age brought sand and soil from the Hexi Corridor to the area, but when the glaciers melted, the sand and gravel remained, and the terrain was washed away by the meltwater, which was like a fault, and even terraced fields could not be cultivated.

Although there are more green spots here because of the birds, it is also not safe to cultivate. Because half of the year when humans grow food crops that are either left without a well-developed root system to fix the topsoil, or simply finished harvesting without even a few plants. In the face of the erosion of the winds and flowing water that often occur here, more and more of the already scarce arable soil will be carried away from the already barren soil.

Not to mention that the climate change here is very drastic, Li Shushi once remembered that some historical meteorologists once analyzed that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, for various reasons (only God knows what the specific reason) the area where this dimension is located began to become cold, which directly led to the reduction of vegetation and the increase of soil erosion. In the Han Dynasty, it rebounded, so it is estimated that the population of more than 10,000 households in Fushi came from this (forced relocation is also counted). However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it seemed that the weather had begun to get cold again.

It is said that the Han nation is a nation that lacks aggressiveness and expansion. Think about the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Han people, and the Yan Emperor, who was born in Dongyi, and the total is only in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. But what about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is about to fall? North Korea is the territory of the Great Han, and the northern part of Vietnam is also the territory of the Great Han, which is a country that does not like aggression?

But why does the big man give people such an illusion? Quite simply, interests.

Yes, it is the interests that are the fundamental reason why the successive Central Plains dynasties appeared conservative rather than expanding.

The Central Plains Dynasty was basically an agrarian society, and its main means of wealth were cultivation, a small handicraft industry, and land and inland water transport and trade, which were still impossible to ignore despite the blows. Well, the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors are all out.

Because of the development of science and technology, the secondary industry was not the main economic force in the ancient world, but even so, China's porcelain, silk and tea could still easily empty every penny of gold and silver in the pockets of the European aristocracy, and finally let the trade deficit red-eyed Europe and China start the Opium War (friendly reminder: be careful not to sit in the right seat~).

The most important economic lifeline of China is still the primary industry, which means that for the Central Plains Dynasty, land and population are the lifeblood of its development, and it is also one of the conditions for the demise that every collapsed dynasty will inevitably face.

So since the land is needed, why not invade? So let's take a look at the topography of China -- well, the whole of a four-stoppled land -- the north is an endless desert, although there are also areas suitable for cultivation such as Hetao, both water and soil, but there is a Loess Plateau in the middle, which cannot form an effective connection with the core area of the Central Plains, and it is still difficult to supply and deliver soldiers; The northwest is a desert in Central Asia, although there is a Silk Road, but because of the lack of enough arable land, it is very chicken-ribbed; Southwest, wow, so high, so high, so high! In the south, trees, trees, and trees, here are all trees. Of course, there seems to be a legendary thing called miasma (I think that miasma is supposed to be biogas produced by the fermentation of humus in the primeval forest due to the humid and hot weather), which is extremely lethal.

Let's see, this is the actual situation in China. Moreover, even in the later grain-producing areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the cultivation level was actually quite limited in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that the Han people were always driven south by the grassland peoples, I am afraid that it would still be unknown whether they could be effectively exploited. Another big granary, the northeast region, just look at Tuoba Xianbei, which is completely a primeval forest. Of course, without the abundance of humus provided by the primeval forest, the black soil would not be so black.

Thinking about Sima Yi's expedition to Liaodong and Cao Cao's northern expedition to Karasuma, both of which needed to pass through the large swampy area of the Western Liaoning Corridor, well, it can be seen that the situation in the Liaohe River Valley was not much better because of the lack of people to govern it at that time. What's more, although the Northeast is good, if there are no cold protection measures, it is estimated that people will become popsicles within a few years, how can it be developed?

So it's not like the Han Dynasty is not like expansion, opening up territory has always been the emperor's favorite thing to do and the most rewarding thing, but the problem is that it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country, and it is a matter of war to fight down, but the money and resources to defend the land are not replenished from the local land side, you say that these are good places, and it is too late to grab them after a thousand years, but the problem is that the Han Dynasty has been unable to defend it for a hundred years, and the treasury has been empty for two hundred years......

The lesser of the two powers, one is the threat of slapping the swollen face and filling the fat man and finally destroying the country and extinction, and the other is the appropriate shrinkage and then it can last longer, so we can only see on the map of the Three Kingdoms that the territory has shrunk a lot compared to the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the sage has a cloud: "Although the country is big, the warlike will perish, and although the world is peaceful, forgetting the war will be dangerous." So Clausewitz also said, "War is a continuation of politics." "It's not that we don't fight, it's not that we fight indiscriminately, but we will fight after calculating the pros and cons of gains and losses.

Of course, those who can do this are all strategists, Li Shushi feels that he is a fool and should leave this kind of work to the guy who calculates clearly, anyway, for him, as long as he continues to give a general direction. Look, how easy this leadership is.

What? Those steppe peoples, you say? Well, we are also very helpless about this kind of problem, the grassland is poor, and everywhere else is rich, so the grassland people have infinite motivation to conquer, especially the grassland people around the Han Dynasty. But it should also be noted that once these ethnic groups enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, they usually immediately become corrupt and degenerate, this is because the Central Plains region is rich in natural treasures, and the amount of wealth is far better than that of the grassland, but if they want to continue to create zào wealth, it is obvious that the grassland people are not good at it, so they can only learn the set of things of agricultural civilization, as a result?

As a result, the grassland peoples became the Central Plains Dynasty, and the wheel of history began a new round of progress......

In such nonsense, Li Shushi and his entourage finally arrived at the southern part of Qiuci County, an important supply point for Li Shushi's trip, and the county seat of Fushi County, the seat of Shangjun.

p.s. I don't know if I have cervical spondylosis, but the left back side of my neck hurts badly, and my head hurts badly......
