Chapter 389: Seeing is Believing

All this, Genghis Khan watched silently, and Qin Mubai's touch was greater than Genghis Khan, at least, Genghis Khan lived in this period, and the people on the grassland lived more difficult than the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, although they may wear more in winter than on the grassland, at least sheepskin, cowhide and other animal fur.

But there are no ones on the grassland who freeze to death? How is it possible? Even in modern times, when the snow disaster comes, cattle and sheep will freeze to death, let alone in ancient times. Although they were nomadic people in ancient times, it was impossible for Mongolians or others to go to the subtropical region in winter.

So even though they are nomads, life is also more miserable. I'm afraid this is also the reason why the nomadic people are strong, the difficult environment will naturally be strong men and women, because the weak have long died, I am afraid this is why the grassland people, the nomads believe in the survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle of the survival of the strong.

Qin Mubai felt that it was the first time he understood that in some film and television movies, such as these nomadic tribes fighting wars, they just kill men who are taller than horses, but do not kill women and children, and take them away directly. Qin Mubai has always felt that even a five- or six-year-old child can already remember, right? If you raise it like this, you are not afraid of rebellion? And those women, are you not afraid of those women rebelling?

For among the men killed were their husbands, fathers, and even sons. But now Qin Mubai suddenly understood, because these people had long been accustomed to such a scene from their bones, and in their opinion, it was normal for them to be killed and snatched away on the grassland.

Those prairie women who want revenge have already resisted directly when the enemy came, and if they resisted, they were killed directly, and those who didn't want to resist had already accepted their fate.

In other words, they all know very well that even if these people don't kill them, but they don't follow each other, when winter comes, they will have only one end, and that is death!

It was the cruel rules of the jungle that taught them and kept such principles.

Qin Mubai used to watch TV series, although he knew that this was the rule of that era, but the life of modern people just couldn't understand it, because Qin Mubai always felt that if it was him, he would definitely not be able to forget those hatreds.

But now, he suddenly understood.

Because, for these ordinary civilians, all they can do is live with difficulty, nothing more.

From the perspective of modern people, this is not as prosperous as some small towns when they are in the market, but in this era, it is already very, very prosperous, and it is even very much like Qin Mubai went to some ancient city scenic spots on holidays and tourists everywhere.

It's like here, because there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, but Qin Mubai also saw another point, that is, wealth, that is relative, for most ordinary people, for most ordinary people, it can only be said that in this era, they eat a little more than other poor dynasties, and wear a little warmer, that's all.

This is the so-called wealth, not as Qin Mubai thought before, everyone can wear warm clothes, and everyone can eat a full meal. I don't dare to say that I have done this in modern times, let alone this ancient time?

After walking in this Lin'an City for about half an hour, Qin Mubai saw that at least one-third of the people in the city did not have cotton clothes, and only one-fifth of the remaining two-thirds could wear those bright clothes, and the remaining four-fifths were ordinary cotton clothes, ordinary clothes.

And this very small number of people is that Lin'an City has gathered too many rich people in the entire Southern Song Dynasty to have this proportion, and I am afraid that in other big cities in the Southern Song Dynasty, this proportion is far lower than this number. In other words, the affluence of this era is relative.

"Great Khan, do you think this place is still more prosperous than you imagined?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but ask, because in Qin Mubai's opinion, life here, to be honest, is not even as good as the three years of natural disasters in China, although Qin Mubai has not experienced that period, but he has also heard the old people in the family say it.

"Of course. Genghis Khan nodded very dryly, he smiled and then looked at Qin Mubai and said: "Mr. Qin, do you think such a city is not prosperous? That's because you live in an era that can be said to be our dreams, no, even if we dream, we can't dream of that kind of life, because for us Mongolians, the best life we can dream of is the life experienced by people in the capital like the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, and this is the best life we dream of." ”

"These people are poor, but the grasslands are more brutal than they live. Genghis Khan sighed.

Qin Mubai was silent, Qin Mubai had always felt that he had understood these ancients, but at this time, Qin Mubai felt that he didn't understand them at all, or rather, he couldn't understand them.

"This city is as prosperous as it is legendary, and in fact I can suddenly understand why my descendants are here, because no one can afford such a temptation. Genghis Khan shook his head and said.

Qin Mubai nodded silently, such a very miserable life in Qin Mubai's opinion, even Genghis Khan felt that they could only dream of it, then I am afraid, as he said, such a temptation, these nomads can't help it.

Even if they knew that there might be a tragic outcome if it went on like this, but as Louis XV or Louis XV's Empress said, when I die, I will let it flood as long as I enjoy it, and if I die, I will all die, and what do I want to do so much.

Qin Mubai and Genghis Khan finally came to the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, this time is not the time of the last dynasty, and this palace is not so prosperous, at least compared with what Bauhinia City or the like, after all, this is not the original capital of the Song Dynasty.

But looking at the civil officials who walked out of the palace, constantly talking and laughing, complimenting each other, Qin Mubai sighed, if it is only the Northern Song Dynasty, such a situation, Qin Mubai can understand a little, after all, it has not yet reached that step.

But now, the capital has been forced to move to Hangzhou, and these literati and officials are still so chatting and laughing, and many people are dating each other to drink, going here, going there, no two people said that they were discussing the government and the current situation, Qin Mubai suddenly felt that those TV series were also bad.

On the way home, there is no situation where they gather together in twos and threes to discuss the government, even if they do not discuss the government, but discuss politics and how to frame their opponents in the court. That's just a fabrication made up by posterity.

These people don't care about those at all, perhaps, they have already begun to get drunk and dream of death, maybe many people are waiting or already thinking about how they should continue to live with their new masters if the Southern Song Dynasty perishes.

Strictly speaking, in this dynasty, are there any people who are willing to live and die with this country? Yes, people like Yue Fei were born in this dynasty. There are also a large number of people who are willing to follow this dynasty to die, but these people are really too few and too few.

In other words, the family interests represented by these courtiers and those gentry far exceeded the interests of the state, and these people didn't care about the court, they cared about whether their family could continue. Perhaps this was the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen lowered his voice, and even did not hesitate to throw away the emperor's face and ask for some support from those ministers and their families.

As a result, he only asked for tens of thousands of taels of silver, but when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, these ministers and families who said that they had no money and only gave Chongzhen tens of thousands of taels of silver could take out hundreds of thousands, millions of taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain to Li Zicheng in minutes.

Should this be said to be the sorrow of Chongzhen, or the sorrow of these ministers? Or is it the sadness of this era?

Qin Mubai actually couldn't figure it out, and walked around the city for more than an hour, and finally under the reminder of Genghis Khan, Qin Mubai and the others returned to the broken bridge.

"It's really prosperous here, but again, this country, if it doesn't have a Ming monarch and a group of knowledgeable ministers to fundamentally reform the country, even if it is not for us Mongolia, they will not last long. Genghis Khan said with a sigh.

Perhaps this is the answer to that sentence, there are only immortal nations, but there are no immortal dynasties, even if there is a civilization or a nation, I am afraid there is no immortal, immortal, only a continuous flow of time. Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said.

"It seems that Mr. Qin is probably very touched. Genghis Khan looked at Qin Mubai and asked with a smile.

"Yes, if you ask me the same question you asked me before, I think, I can say, I should do my best to help all those who need my help! Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said.

"Hahaha, I know that Mr. Qin is a person who does great things, and I have a gift for Mr. Qin. After speaking, Genghis Khan reached out directly, but he didn't see how he moved, only to see a scimitar appear in his hand.

This knife is not long, including the handle of the knife is only about 40 centimeters, and the decoration of the scabbard is not very ornate, but there is a ruby inlaid on the hilt.

"Give this knife to Mr. Qin. Genghis Khan handed the scimitar with both hands.

Qin Mubai hurriedly stretched out his hands and took the scimitar, this scimitar was slightly heavy, very similar to some Mongolian scimitar handicrafts that modern Qin Mubai took tourists to buy, but this is not a handicraft, but a real knife.
