I'm relatively lucky, the injury on my foot was only sprained and not dislocated, and I almost recovered after two days of rest!

Thanks to Zuo Chengfu's grandfather, Uncle Zuo used a pack of herbs to treat me, which made the lump on my ankle dissipate quickly, so I can get better so quickly!

Their grandfather and grandson were just ordinary mountain people, and the old man used to be a cultural person, so he kept some poetry books for his grandson Zuo Chengfu and taught him to read and write. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut when I come to such a world, I naturally don't have much to ask about people like them, because they know so little, and I want to know more!

During the days when I was resting at Zuo Chengfu's house, I felt very bored, and I often went to a hill to meditate alone!

It's a hill in a col where you can see all the beauty of the valley, so I love to come here and think, but there's nowhere else to go but here!

After I nibbled a few mouthfuls of sweet potatoes this morning, I came here again to rest, that Zuo Chengfu went to the mountains to herd cattle every day, and I didn't bother to play with him, what fun is there for a broken child!

I've been looking at this valley for days, and I'm all too familiar with it! The pass faces east, and from here it leads roughly to the fertile land on the east side, and to the west to the depths of the mountains! From the towering mountains on the west side, the west side of this valley must be a dead end, otherwise it would not have become so barren and calm.

The ancients had a habit of liking to live near rivers and roads, which was to facilitate trade and travel between places, and these roads were naturally abandoned by the ancients!

In fact, the land here is not bad, although it is surrounded by mountains, but there are many valleys here, and the valleys are relatively wide, and the soil on the valley bottom and mountainside is more fertile, and the mountains are full of dense wild grass!

Suddenly, an old man's vigorous voice came from afar: "The little boy is so Yaxing, the old man has seen you sitting here meditating for three consecutive days, who knows what the little boy is worried about?"

When I heard the sound, I saw a gray-haired old man riding up the hill on a donkey, as if he had come here to greet me.

I got up and said, "Oh, it's nothing, just come here and walk around when you're idle!"

After hearing this, the old man strangled the donkey, he frowned and asked in deep thought: "The little boy speaks so strangely, what is the so-called blind turning? Could it be that there is something abnormal in the eyes of the little boy?"

I was stunned when I heard it, knowing that my vernacular had made him a little inexplicable, these days I always talk to Zuo Cheng's husband and grandson like this, which makes our conversation very difficult!

I think I am also a graduate student of the Chinese Department of Fudan University, and I am still engaged in paleographic research, so I can't lose my identity, how can I be embarrassed by this kind of thing!

I cleared my throat and planned to start earnestly being a qualified ancient person in the maze!

I bowed to the old man and bowed, and then replied with my hands and fists: "No, this is the meaning of distraction!"

After hearing this, the old man immediately got up slightly, he touched his white beard, and said with a loud smile: "Well, come here to climb high and look far away, the heart is relaxed, and it is easy to stretch your chest and stretch your thoughts! A few days ago, I came here, I saw the little boy sitting here quietly, looking at the mountains with a solemn expression, could it be that he is also thinking about my homeland of Great Qin, and I hate to kill all the Huns and recapture the rivers and mountains, so I am depressed?"

Although you are old, you may not be able to understand what happened to me, and I think I can only choose to perfunctory you! I bowed my hand and replied: "No, I look at the boundary of this place, there are many valleys and rivers, and the grass is flourishing all around, and its soil will be fertile! If the people can be relocated here to live and work in peace and contentment, this place will surely prosper in the future!"

The old man touched his beard and nodded repeatedly, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance on the north side, and said slowly: "Very good, just as the old man thought! There are six mountains to the north here, and there is an iron mountain hidden here!" Then the old man turned around and pointed to the mountain on the south side and continued: "Thirty miles to the south, there is a salt spring hidden on the ridge! Not only is the land fertile, but also the salt and iron can be mined, and the mountains are dense and forested, and there are countless wild things in the mountains!"

After speaking, the old man turned to the east again, pointed to the east side of the valley and said: "This valley goes out to the east, and it is also the only exit from this place to the outside world.

This old man seems to know the surrounding terrain very well, not only knows that there are brine salts on the south side, but also knows that there are iron mines in the mountains on the north side, and also knows the danger at the exit on the east side.

I thought about it for a while, and continued to ask tentatively: "Dare to ask my seniors, how many people can live here? Surrounded by high mountains, it is extremely wild, why is it a county?"

The old man smiled, touched his beard and replied: "Don't dare to say more, if you can support nearly 500,000 people, why can't you be a county?"

I think that if this area really has an area of 200 miles, it can indeed live 500,000 people, but this is not Hanzhong or Shangyong City, and it is inconspicuous in terms of geographical location.

The old man replied with a smile: "Yongguo has jurisdiction over Shangyong, Hanzhong, Ba County, Shu County, Baima and Southwest Yi, and the territory is more than 1,000 miles long, but there are many rocks and hills and little soil! The officials of the counties and counties only care about corruption and bribery to enrich their own pockets, and never care about the people's livelihood and governance.

I smiled and said, "However, there are only more than 2 million people in the Yong country, so why do 500,000 people live here?

The old man was so surprised that he opened his mouth so wide that he couldn't answer for a while!

I continued to smile and said: "Don't blame the seniors, Xiaosheng is offended, and I hope the seniors can Haihan!". After speaking, I respectfully bowed to the old man!

The old man smiled awkwardly, and then he also arched his hand and said: "It's easy to say! What the little boy said is very true, the country is weak only because the people are few, but it's a pity that most of my descendants of Qin are left in the realm of the Xiongnu, if they can all move west to join the Yongguo, why worry about not being able to strengthen the country and get rid of the Xiongnu!"

I smiled again and asked, "Dare to ask the old-timers, in this case, why did the clansmen stay in the Xiongnu, but abandon my Yongguo instead of vote?"

The old man looked at me, sighed, and said, "Hey! The so-called people regard food as their heaven, and it is enough to live and work in peace and contentment!

Although the two sentences answered by the old man were very concise, I could see from the words that the Yongguo was weak! With a population of more than 2 million and a regular army of 100,000, if it were changed to the Wenjing period of the Western Han Dynasty, this strength would only be one-twentieth of that of the Western Han Dynasty!

Although the Xiongnu invaded south, the population may drop sharply after the war, even so, it is estimated that the population of the area controlled by the Xiongnu is at least 20 million, and it is also only one-tenth of the other party!

So I continued to smile and said to the old man: "In my opinion, the people carried by Yongguo are less than one-tenth of the Xiongnu, and if you want to defeat the Xiongnu and return to your homeland, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!"

The old man looked at me dejectedly, and he didn't speak for a long time, maybe I got to the point at once, and it hit him completely, which made him a little disheartened!

The old man got off the donkey, sat next to me, sighed, and then looked at the mountains and rivers with me silently, with a thoughtful look!

After a while, I smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the old-timers, who is in power in Yongguo now, is it virtuous?

The old man shook his head and sighed, and said sadly: "The first emperor died early, and now it is the young lord who has ascended the throne and the queen is in power! The queen lives a luxurious life and does not care about political affairs, but she actually has an affair with Wang Chengxiang, and now Wang Cheng's power is leaning towards the government and the opposition and harming the common people, this is the image of the country's destruction! The little prince is indeed an extraordinary person, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything if I go to Yongzhou! If you are not a virtuous lord, even if you have a capable minister and a good general, it will not help!"

I suddenly thought of something, and asked the old man rhetorically: "Senior, why should my clan be named after Yongguo, and Yongzhou is not the mediocre?"

The old man nodded and replied: "Well, Yongzhou was called Shangyong in Qin, and it belonged to the boundary of Hanzhong County! After the Xiongnu went south to destroy Qin, the descendants of the Great Qin royal family fled to Bashu with Zhongxi, and after arriving in Shangyong, they rebuilt the Qin State, and later changed Shangyong to Yongzhou and set it as the capital of the new Qin State! Then the Xiongnu raised troops to continue to attack, and the new lord knew that it was difficult to resist, so he had to surrender and sue for peace, so he was able to preserve the throne. Subsequently, the Xiongnu Dadan ordered the country to live in the Qin State and gave the Yongguo a new country name, which was commensurate with the mediocrity! Since then, our Yongguo has been a vassal of the Xiongnu, and the tribute to the Xiongnu has never stopped!"

I continued to ask, "Since Yongzhou is the capital and it is also the boundary of Yongzhou, why can't there be no people everywhere?"

The old man said with emotion: "The country is not a country, and the future is not the queen, it is fortunate to be able to exist in the world, I just hope that my Yongguo can be passed on on behalf of the country, so that it will not end up being driven out by the Huns!

The old man sighed with emotion, and was very sad about the loss of the country, and he was not as free and easy as just now. Although he lives in seclusion here, he still has hot patriotic blood flowing on his body, probably sighing that he is a hero!

The ancients are the ancients, positive and melancholy, and there are countless people who have never met talents!

I think I have come to an era of troubled times, and I am very sad when I am born in troubled times, why not? Now I am in an extremely bad mood when I hear it, and I have begun to hate those Huns to the core, can I stay here and do something for everyone?
