Chapter 67: History
After eating the last dried meat in Yao Changsheng's hand, he clapped his hands and looked at them and said, "Let's continue to talk about the ancients!" As he spoke, he picked up a burning stick and drew the Yangtze River and the Yellow River on the ground, so that the size of the map of the card position has a number, "Let's talk about the Song Dynasty today." ”
Yao Changsheng did not elaborate, from ancient mythology to the present, and smoothed out history.
Let the Tao family, who know nothing, have a clear and intuitive understanding of history.
After Tao Liuyi heard him speak, he couldn't help but say, "It turns out that we have such a long history!" ”
The bonfire reflected Tao Qini's face flushing, and her drooping eyelids covered her thoughts, it turned out that history had turned a corner from the Song Dynasty, and there was no Dayuan.
Tao Qini wondered if it was her own ears, or if there was a mistake in pronunciation, "Master Yao, haven't you told me what the national surname is?" ”
"Murong!" Yao Changsheng looked at her and said.
Tao Qini raised her eyebrows, gotcha! Now you can be sure.
There was no great unification before Dayan, and the people were struggling for years, until Dayan Iron Cavalry swept Liuhe and won the Central Plains, which has a history of 100 years.
From what Tao Qini saw, according to the history of the rise and fall of a dynasty, if it can't be prosperous, it will be the end of the period.
With a history of 5,000 years, one of the great things about it is that you can find a wide variety of scripts.
Some people say that history is a mirror, as if only by reading history can we understand society, see through life, and make the right choice in the real society. In view of the past, there is a wealth of governance. This is also the origin of the title of the famous historical book Zizhi Tongjian.
However, sometimes history has no reference significance for reality, because specific problems need to be analyzed in detail, and it is you who are unlucky in the end.
"Nil, Niel." Shen tugged at her sleeve and said.
"Hmm!" Tao Qini raised her misty eyes and looked at them and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm just going to ask you what's wrong? What do you think? So that you will not be silent. Shen looked at her and asked with concern.
"I'm fascinated by what I heard, what Master Yao said was so good." Tao Qini blinked at them and said.
Lie! Yao Changsheng's deep eyes looked at her with flames running from the depths, his eyes full of inquiry.
As if sensing his gaze, Tao Qini raised her eyes to look over, only to find that his eyes were as clear as water reflected in the firelight.
"Dayan's territory is so big! It seems to be larger than the previous dynasties. Tao Fifteen looked at the general territory he had drawn.
"yes!" Yao Changsheng said with emotion, the burning stick in his hand, along the winding line, outlined the territory, "Unprecedentedly big!" ”
"Does Grand Prince Yao know how much of the current population there is? It's been so long, not to mention ten rooms and nine emptiness, and there are not even a few villages here. Tao Qini looked at him with question marks in her eyes and said, "This is a prosperous and wealthy land in the world." ”
"Uh......" Yao Changsheng pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "What do you say about this?" In the early days of Dayan, the iron cavalry went all the way south, slaughtering and even slaughtering the city at every turn. ”
"Ahh The three members of the Tao family covered their mouths with a look of disbelief.
Tao Qini nodded when she heard this, then shook her head and said, "This is not right, they are all killed, whose king will he be if there is no one?" ”
"The important reason for the frequent massacre of the city in the early stage was to deter the enemy, reduce the casualties of the Dayan army, and humiliate and retaliate. Before the rise, I was bullied a lot, but now! If it is strong, it will naturally be ten times and a hundred times more profitable. Yao Changsheng looked at them with dark eyes and said.
"It's disgusting how innocent the common people are." Tao Qini's face was ugly, and her tone was slightly cool.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yao Changsheng's eyes, and he looked at them and said, "Actually, more people died not from the war, but because of the famine and plague caused by the war. You should know it by now. ”
Tao Qini nodded thoughtfully, even if it is necessary to eliminate such a large number of people by force in modern times, it is not possible, without machine guns, poison gas, and incendiary bombs, thousands of troops may not be able to kill a thousand pigs a day.
"And what is the population now?" Tao Qini looked at him curiously and asked.
"More than 80 million, less than 90 million." Yao Changsheng looked at them and said.
"So much." Tao Liuyi said in surprise.
"If you look at the territory, you can see that the population is not very large." The burning stick in Yao Changsheng's hand lit the picture on the ground.
"But our Central Plains has always been prosperous, why can't we see people?" Tao Fifteen looked at him with a puzzled face and said.
"It can't be compared with the south now, because of long-term natural and man-made disasters, the population loss is too great, and a large number of people have migrated south." Yao Changsheng looked at them and said seriously, "The Song Dynasty has not moved its capital to the south. ”
"But the tree dies, and the man lives. Didn't we also flee from the wilderness. Tao Fifteen nodded heavily when he heard this.
"Ahh Tao Liuyi stood up and looked at them in horror.
"Why are you so surprised?" Tao Fifteen looked at him beside him and said.
"Dad, let's not go to the capital, it's too scary anywhere." Tao Liuyi sat down and looked at him and said, "Kill people at every turn." ”
Yao Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, if only he could go south.
"But we promised Mr. Yao to send him to the capital." Tao Fifteen looked at Tao Liuyi, "You can't be a man without faith. ”
"There's no point in arguing about this now, the goal of the capital is too far, let's go to the provincial capital Bianjing first!" Tao Qini looked at them and said, her eyes fell on Yao Changsheng through the bonfire, and said meaningfully, "You should be able to get rid of the cheap in Bianjing City!" ”
Yao Changsheng's dark eyes flashed when he heard this, and when he heard this, he said stubbornly, "Yes!" ”
"But?" Tao Fifteen still said uneasily.
Tao Qini looked at him with innocent eyes, and said kindly, "Dad! When they arrived at the provincial capital, as long as Liang Ming, the eldest son of Yao, was identified, in order to tie up with the squire of the military department, many people sent money and horses. Officials protect each other! ”
These words sounded good vertically, but they were unspeakable, and Yao Changsheng rolled his eyes in his heart.
"When we arrive at the provincial capital, he will go north, let's go south, and in the future, this bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road." Tao Qini pointed to the north with both hands, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.
Don't be too happy about this, seeing that Yao Changsheng's eyes were a little dazzling, he smiled at her.
I slandered in my heart: I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you.
Tao Qini looked at him who was smiling but not smiling, and there was no trace of smile in her eyes.
What do you mean? I still want to stay on it.
"It's not early, let's rest!" Tao Fifteen looked at them and said, "Ming'er should hurry up early." ”
"I'll keep ......"
Before Tao Qini finished speaking, Tao Fifteen interrupted her and said, "Nier rested earlier, her body hasn't fully recovered." ”
