Chapter 7: A Strange History
When I walked into the study, I found that the lighting here was very good, and the sunlight just shone the study clearly.
This study is not very big, in this study, there is a long table, in front of the long table is a picture of ink and bamboo. This ink bamboo picture was painted by the original owner, and the painting is not particularly brilliant, but the spirit of the bamboo is shown in a few strokes.
There is a row of bookshelves behind the long table, and there are about forty or fifty books on the bookshelf, most of which are similar to the ancient Four Books and Five Classics, and the poetry collections and scripture commentaries of Xiucai, Gongsheng, and Jinshi that were popular at this time, as well as a few history books and a few miscellaneous books.
The original owner usually reads the Four Books and the Five Classics, as well as scripture commentaries, but sees less history. Li Silai's purpose here is to look at the history books and see if the structure of this world is related to the real world.
After all, many things in this are the same as in the original ancient world, such as the written language is Chinese characters, and the imperial examination system is the same as in the previous life, and the human race is also the yellow race. Therefore, Li Si feels that this world should be related to the real world.
Li Si took a few history books and sat at the desk, and quickly flipped through them. He doesn't need to know specific things in history, he just wants to find the dynasties he wants to see in these history books. In the real world, he vaguely remembered that there was a poem summarizing dynasties, and he just had to find them.
"Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were chaotic.
The Qin and Han dynasties were unified, and the southern and northern dynasties were opposed.
The five dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the ten kingdoms, the emperors of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties rested. ”
However, when Li Si quickly finished reading the history books, he was desperate to find that the history here was completely different from the history of the real world.
In the history of this place, it was originally written that a country called the Kyushu Department ruled the world for 2,429 years. During these 2,429 years, the class has been solidified, and the people have suffered unspeakably, and they have been exploited and enslaved by the upper classes.
Finally, in the 2429th year after the establishment of the Kyushu Ministry, peasant uprisings broke out frequently in various places, and the rule of the original Kyushu Department was finally overthrown.
After 278 years of war, the situation finally stabilized, and the situation of the twelve kingdoms was in full force. This state of twelve kingdoms existed for a total of 329 years. In 607, when the Kyushu Province was destroyed, the Wei and Yao kingdoms of the twelve kingdoms showed a trend of swallowing whales within five years, and quickly destroyed the remaining ten kingdoms. Each occupied the territory of the five countries, presenting a situation in which the two countries were divided between the north and the south. It is now the 175th year since the destruction of the Ten Kingdoms.
What surprised Li Si was that the situation of the confrontation between these two countries was a little strange, although the two countries said that there were constant small contradictions, but there was no major war, and there was always no peace.
"Incredible." Li Si muttered, but what made him even more incredible was that the Kyushu Department had ruled this world for more than two thousand years, which seemed to him to be an incredible thing.
You must know that the longest feudal dynasty in ancient China on the earth, that is, the Zhou Dynasty, existed for 800 years, not to mention that the last 300 years of the Zhou Dynasty can basically be regarded as a nominal existence. There are almost no other dynasties that are more than 300 years old. And this Kyushu department has ruled for more than 2,000 years, which is completely abnormal.
Unless there is no shortage of food in the country, there are no natural and man-made disasters.
But this is simply impossible, he knows from the memory of the original owner that the grain output in this world is still about 200 catties per acre, and the yield can be said to be very low.
You must know that in the Ming Dynasty in China, the yield per mu of rice was more than 300 catties, and it was cultivated in two seasons. And this world has only one season of cultivation, and has not yet developed two seasons of cultivation, which is not as good as the Three Kingdoms period in China.
This kind of grain production, as long as it encounters natural disasters, will definitely kill many people. Therefore, the Kyushu Department ruled the world for more than 2,000 years, and there must be something strange. This history book must be hiding something.
"Smack!" Zhenqi was accidentally knocked down by Li Si and fell to the ground, waking up Li Si, who was thinking deeply. He suddenly remembered that the rice was still burning.
Li Si immediately put down the history book, bent down to put the paperweight on the table, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Let's think about these things later, the main thing now is to fill your stomach.
When he arrived in the kitchen, he found that the fire in the stove had been extinguished, and only some sparks remained. I opened the lid of the pot, opened the rice with chopsticks and tasted it.
No clipping.
Li Si wrapped the plate of rice and bacon in a sweat towel and grabbed his hand, and walked towards the hall.
Putting the rice and dishes on the table, Li Si sat down, picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy them.
Pick up the bacon and send it to his mouth, the salty bacon and pepper make him feel very comfortable. It's a pity that he doesn't have any ingredients, otherwise he can make other delicacies, and he doesn't have to eat so casually.
When Li Siwei picked up the second piece of bacon, he couldn't help but think of the corpse that was beheaded by him this morning.
The thin corpse, crumpled, really bears some resemblance to this bacon.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach. Some of them can't be eaten.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them and continued to eat as if he were nobody. Even faster. To waste food in this world is to thunder and thunder. What's more, he must have a stronger body to face the unknown dangers of the future.
Hypocrisy now is irresponsible for food and one's own life. Regarding the pros and cons, Li Si sees it very clearly. You can also be ruthless with yourself.
If in this world, he can't keep himself safe, then no one can keep him safe.
After eating, Li Si washed the dishes and chopsticks with the water from the previous steaming.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he then began to pick up the broom and dustpan again and began to clean. He didn't love cleanliness so much before, but since he didn't have a mobile phone network, he didn't have anything to do himself. I can only find something to do.
After cleaning, Li Si took some money from under the quilt and went out. He's going to get some money and buy something.
After going out, he first ordered a knife and a dagger at the blacksmith shop, and if the knife was to be made, he asked the blacksmith to make a Nepalese saber-like one, so that it would be better to cut the corpse in the future.
The dagger was relatively simple, Li Si made a gesture, drew a few times with a branch on the ground, and the blacksmith understood. But the Nepalese saber Li Si continued to talk and compare for a long time, but the blacksmith still didn't understand. Li Si could only say that he would bring the drawings in a few days.
Leave 1 tael of silver as a deposit, and give 3 taels when the weapon comes out. This is, of course, only the price of the dagger. This master blacksmith is very good at his work, so the price is more expensive than that of other blacksmith shops.
But Li Si thinks it's worth it, you must know that a long sword in the system mall is worth 1 soul point. And he only spent 4 taels of silver to buy a dagger, even if it is worse than the weapon in the system mall, even if it is discounted by half, it is at least 0.5 soul points, right?
How much is 0.5 souls? Half a year's life! 4 taels of silver buy half a year's life, and it's worth it.
Li Si's self-spiritual victory method is very successful.
