The Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south, is the main artery of water transportation, and there is an endless stream of boats and boats on the canal every day. The canal situation in the Xuanyuan world is much better than that in the real world, and the local governments have made special efforts in water conservancy and transportation because they can borrow the magic power of heaven. The Grand Canal twists and turns, connecting the northern and southern provinces, and the riverbed is both wide and deep, and the boats on the river are on the river.

Ye Xingyuan took the Caoyun Wuya big ship, which was rebuilt from an old warship and could carry more than 800 people. Now half of the cabin is filled with grain, and the other half is specially vacated for the cockpit of the special envoy of Xianxiangrui under the tripartite envoy of the governor of Dinghu Province, the political envoy and the envoy of the inspection department.

Originally, Caoyun had strict rules, and even if it was empty, he would not take idle people and wait, but the three ministers came forward together, and the governor of Caoyun had to give this face.

Ye Xingyuan rode on the official ship, only feeling that the cockpit was stable, smooth sailing, faster and more stable than ordinary civilian ships, and knew that this was also a miracle.

Tang Shiyan stood on the deck, looking at the scenery on both sides of the canal, and saw that the more he walked to the north, the less green he became. Even above the water, you can feel that the air is much drier than in the south.

He sighed: "I don't know the scenery everywhere without going out, I originally thought that the north of Dinghu Province was already a barren land and lacked rain, but looking at this northern loess, I really don't know how the locals crop their crops? ”

Tang Shiyan has just done the provincial test, but he can basically only be regarded as an old otaku. The footsteps have never stepped out of Dinghu Province. The northwest is arid, and he has only one idea, but now that he has seen the northern terroir with his own eyes, he feels that his previous strategy is superficial.

was able to get away with it, purely because Ye Xingyuan passed on the original rich thirteen chapters, so he was even more grateful in his heart. He sighed.

Ye Xingyuan said in a deep voice: "Where can this be regarded as the real northwest? This place is close to the Central Plains, and it has gone through generations of canals, so it can be regarded as rich in water and grass. If you go two or three thousand miles to the northwest, it will be full of wind and sand, and you can't imagine it.

The cycle of 300 years of chaos will be divided for a long time. Although the northwest is a barren land, it often becomes a key place. The reason for this, why don't the gentlemen of the court and the central government know, but they are just helpless. ”

In the Xuanyuan world, Ye Xingyuan also has limited knowledge, but although he has more magical powers, the geography of this world is not much different from the previous life, and there are also two rivers that run through the entire continent from east to west, and the terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It's hot in the south and cold in the north.

If the Xuanyuan world is similar to the earth, then the territory occupied by the imperial court should be in the northern hemisphere, with the ocean in the east and the plateau and desert in the west. The map of all countries that Ye Xingyuan could access was not enough to explore distant places, and the locations of overseas countries were mostly just guesses and not accurate.

But it can be roughly assumed that the situation in the world is similar to that of the earth. As a matter of fact, there are many people of insight in the government and the opposition who have begun to speculate about the situation of the whole world, and some people have put forward the theory of the circle of the earth. But it can only be regarded as a hypothesis and has not been confirmed.

In the previous life, Ye Xingyuan once drove around the northwest, but he saw the desert Gobi, the yellow sand was long, the eyes were full of green, and there were often no people for hundreds of miles. The world of Xuanyuan is because of the support of supernatural powers. In order to make this geological environment still support a large number of people.

But it is precisely because of this that once the vitality of heaven and earth is reduced, and the supernatural powers cannot adjust the rainwater, the vulnerability of the ecological system based on the supernatural powers will be clearly reflected, and once it collapses. It will drag down the whole country.

The death of the Great Qian Dynasty in the Northwest Rebellion seems to be accidental, but in fact it also has its inevitability.

In fact, this dynasty also faced the same dilemma, three hundred years of peace and prosperity, and the population naturally multiplied. According to the statistics of Emperor Longping when he ascended the throne, there were more than 100 million people in the country, and for an agricultural society, even with the support of supernatural powers, it was extremely stressful.

Almost the same territory as the Qing Dynasty on Earth, the arable land is much smaller, but it feeds more than twice the population. This is certainly the merit of the power of supernatural powers, the blessing brought to mankind by the sages intercepting the heavenly opportunities and the efforts of thousands of scholars, but it also brings about a deep crisis.

Because of the teachings of the saints and the miraculous power of heavenly feedback, the operational efficiency of the agricultural society has been brought into full play, and almost every bit of output of the land has been fully utilized.

In the spring and autumn when the prime minister was in charge of the country, he supervised and regulated one side, and the government and county officials and the people were able to run the place. If the Heaven and Earth Vitality is abundant, this is naturally a thriving and prosperous era, but once the Heaven and Earth Vitality fails, this will make this high-load precision machine unable to withstand it.

The Northwest is one of the most vulnerable links. What Ye Xingyuan gained in the provincial test was not only a solution yuan, but more importantly, he had a global vision in the decades of deduction and fantasy. Now that he is thinking about the problem, he is no longer on the same level as Tang Shiyan.

The reason why there has been a change of dynasty in the past 3,000 years under the education of the saints is probably here. This is the case with the Mandate of Heaven, where the vitality of heaven and earth declines, coupled with the growing population, challenges the bottom line of the imperial court's ability to govern, and eventually leads to national change.

Even with supernatural powers, this is still just a strengthened version of the classical society, and it is still in a predicament. However, the good thing is that because of the interaction between the Heavenly Machine and the Mandate of Heaven, the Han people in the Central Plains are blessed with unique talents, and there will be no disasters such as chaos in China, which can be regarded as a fluke.

But now the demon clan and the barbarian clan have also begun to be ambitious, but the officialdom of the Central Plains is dim, and the scholars are bent on just getting ahead and glorifying their ancestors, how can there be a few saints who have passed on the heart of saving the people?

It seems to be a peaceful and prosperous era, but the crisis contained in it is more serious than what Ye Xingyuan had realized before.

Ye Xingyuan decided to send Xiangrui to Beijing, taking this credit, and even did not hesitate to get a reputation of "fortunate to enter", one reason is that he feels that time is running out and seizing the day.

Objectively speaking, he did not want to save the country and the people, but first of all to save himself. Sage Yu Ze for three thousand years, although it seems that he can still barely sustain himself, Ye Xingyuan always faintly feels that he has reached a threshold.

Since Ye Xingyuan has traveled through and brought with him the insights of another world, in a sense, it can also be regarded as the return of the "Mandate of Heaven", if he does not use these insights that transcend time and space to change this world, it seems that he will come in vain.

Ye Xingyuan's mentality and goals have changed, which can be regarded as one of the far-reaching effects of the provincial trial deduction illusion on him.

Tang Shiyan was a little thorough, and said in shock: "What the virtuous brother means is that this dynasty has also encountered the same predicament as the Great Qian Dynasty, so how can that be good?"

But taking history as a mirror, wise people can see the clues, not to mention that the previous dynasties are only three or four hundred years, what merit can this dynasty have to prolong the national fortune?

Ye Xingyuan was silent in thought, looking at the mighty canal, and only after a long time did he whisper: "The rolling rivers are passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

This Linjiang immortal poem fits Ye Xingyuan's current state of mind, if he has just crossed over before, Ye Xingyuan is more of a struggle of people who have been caught in the whirlpool, to find a life-saving straw and a foothold. But when he really went ashore and gained a firm foothold in the Xuanyuan world, he was more like a spectator standing on the long river of time, nostalgic for the past and the present, and there was a sense of melancholy.

Tang Shiyan was about to shoot the case and applaud, but he heard a cheer from behind him, "Okay! ”

Ye Xingyuan was taken aback, he thought that there were only two people on the deck of the big ship, he and Tang Shiyan, so they could speak freely. Otherwise, although it will not be a crime to raise people to discuss the government and politics, but commenting on the national fortunes of the court will inevitably be regarded as a malicious curse, and even if they don't bother them, they will have to be put into a separate book.

Fortunately, when Tang Shiyan asked just now, Ye Xingyuan didn't say it too explicitly, only chanted a poem that he was touching, and he couldn't find something to explain. When they looked back, they saw a thin teenager standing at the door of the cabin, looking at them with a smile.

It is not the attaché who came to offer auspicious rui this time, nor is it the person who was arranged by Futai, Fantai, and Zhentai, but is it a person from Caoyun? But how can he be so young, and who is carrying his family?

There is a Gong Cao on the ship in Caoyun, but with his rank, he is not qualified to drag his family in the Caoyun mission. Even if you want to go together, you can score the boat, and you can't get on this big boat.

What's more, there is Xiangrui on this boat, and the management along the way is even stricter, how did this idle person get on the ship through the security check? Tang Shiyan stopped in front of Ye Xingyuan angrily, and shouted urgently: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Ye Xingyuan tugged at the corner of Tang Shiyan's clothes, signaled him not to worry, and smiled politely at the young man: "This virtuous brother doesn't need to panic, this Tang brother is just a little nervous because of the heavy responsibility, and he can't help but ask more when he sees a stranger appearing on the boat, please forgive me." ”

The big ship of Caoyun is guarded by supernatural powers, how can people who are not qualified to board the ship appear here? Ye Xingyuan can clearly see that this young man is dressed luxuriously, and he is definitely not a child of an ordinary family. Since he was able to stand up in a grand manner, he was obviously not afraid of them finding out, not to mention that he also knew that it was Ye Xingyuan on the ship, so he was obviously prepared.

The luxurious young man stretched out his folding fan and said arrogantly: "Xie Yuangong is really Xie Yuangong, much more knowledgeable than any seventeen or eighteen people, and he has a calm atmosphere when facing things, but he is a great talent." As for who I am?"

His eyes rolled, and his expression suddenly changed, and he smiled: "I am Dong Gongcao's distant nephew, who took a hitchhiker back to Beijing, and has been hiding in the cargo hold. How can I live with so much moldy grain and I am really depressed, so I went to the deck to relax, I didn't expect to hear the poetry and magic sentences, it is really a blessing for three lives!"

Ye Xingyuan secretly complained in his heart, but he had a more terrifying speculation about the identity of this young man. (To be continued......)
