Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 681 Poetry and distance

  Writing is the cornerstone of a civilization. The reason why farming culture finally defeated nomadic culture was not because of how brave it was in force, but because it climbed higher on the big tree of civilization than nomadic culture.

  The quality of a civilization does not mean how much it can explode within a certain period of time, but whether it can maintain its vitality and support a larger population in the long years.

  Like the Han people and Hu people in the Han Dynasty now.

  Yu Fuluo and Rinagu were thinking, and Feiqian was also thinking. For this aspect of cognition, Fei Qian only has a more profound concept until now.

  Why is China in the Central Plains heading for unification despite the turmoil?

   Popular opinion?

  Hehe, let’s count.

  But something deeper is the production and living mode on this land, that is, the farming culture is finally at work.

Farming civilization is deeply dependent on the land and needs to guard the crops all year round. Therefore, it will dig holes and build houses in places suitable for farming, and build long-term living places. In this way, villages are gradually formed, and then expanded into cities and towns. Neighborhood and family ties were formed.

The central feudal centralized state easily divided counties and counties based on such geographical relations, and then managed them, levying taxes and apportioning labor labor according to the land, and because China's farming areas are relatively concentrated, most of them are in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River The watershed, this kind of closely connected regional relationship, even if it splits out for a short period of time, will cause further hunger for land due to the continuous expansion of the population, and eventually lead to no matter how many disputes there are in this connected land, eventually there will be Form a unified pattern.

  In this sense, in this area, the land has always belonged to the country, but the form is slightly different...

  China's thousands of years of civilization has ushered in the rise and fall of one dynasty after another in such a reincarnation.

When the land is more than the population, the dynasty rises. When the land starts to fall short of demand, the dynasty reaches its peak. When the madness for the land starts and a large amount of land is concentrated in the hands of a few classes, the dynasty goes to end...

  Han, Tang, Ming, and Qing are basically such routines.

   Except for meta. The Yuan Dynasty was the only peak dynasty of the good neighbor nomads in the north, and the Qing Dynasty's pigtails just picked up a little bit of wisdom.

  So, Fei Qian thought, since there is a chance, why not try it out?

   "Shan Yu, Hao Shuai, the two of you should know the Northland better than I do. I don't know if you remember the last time you opened a border market like ours?" Fei Qian asked.

  Linagu thought about it for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "I don't know the year name of Zhonglang and you Han people, it was almost ten years ago?"

  U Fura on the other side nodded slightly.

In fact, it was the Western Qiang rebellion, and when Xianbei led the Eastern Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan brothers to take advantage of the fire to loot, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty cut off the trade with the Hu people, so Yufuluo and Linagu also did not will speak clearly.

Fei Qian smiled and said, "Shanyu, Haoshuai, tell the truth, do you think it is better to live in the past when you came to China to plunder, or is it better to live a life of mutual exchanges and trade like this? ?”

  Linagu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course it's better to trade like this now!"

Fei Qian laughed and said: "The hero is telling lies! You don't need to spend money when you rob, and you don't need to exchange things. If you grab one, you get it for nothing. How bad is it? Right, Haoshuai? Right, Shan Yu?"

  Rinagu laughed twice, not knowing how to respond.

"That's true, but...cough cough, this looting," Yu Fuluo also coughed dryly, always feeling a little embarrassed when talking about these looting of Han people in front of Fei Qian, "...one of them is not sure. To get something, the other one is basically an old thing even if it is looted, and the key point is that it will kill and injure a lot of sons... How can it be better than trading with Zhonglang!"

  Rina Gu Wenyan nodded again and again in agreement.

  In fact, the ancient capitals of Fura and Rina concealed another aspect of the barbarians' looting. In addition to goods, there is also population. Strictly speaking, how many pure-blooded Hu people are there in the Hu tribe near Han? I'm afraid it's less than one-tenth.

Fei Qian didn't say anything, just nodded, then patted the table lightly, gestured around, and said: "I'm afraid the two of you know what Pingyang City looked like at the beginning, and what it looks like now. , This kind of change, is there no effect of our mutual trade? The benefits brought by trade are shared by both parties, just like Pingyang City, like the brocade on the handsome man and the caravan under his hands, like a single Yu's canon..."

"We have tens of thousands of people following us. Naturally, we also need to consider these people and take responsibility for the future. In addition to Pingyang and Shangjun, I have also added the prefect of Shangdang. Yu is about to return to Meiji to rebuild the royal court, and with the expansion of your caravan, your reputation in Xiqiang will surely increase..."

   "Doesn't Shanyu want to build a royal court in Meiji that is bigger than Pingyang City? Don't Haoshuai want to build a white stone city on Jinwei Mountain?" Fei Qian said with a slight smile. If the aristocrats of the nomads, that is, people like Yu Fuluo and Rinagu, began to settle down and enjoy a comfortable life, could they still be considered a nomad?

  Yu Fuluo raised his head slightly and did not speak, but Rinagu smiled and said: "What Zhonglang said is good, but... this is not easy to say..."

"It's nothing more than the words 'people' and 'things'! If you find it difficult and don't take action, you will never succeed! People are great because of their ideals. What is the difference between a person without ideals and a piece of bacon jerky?" There are quite a lot of chicken soup in later generations, and Fei Qian poured a few bowls for free, "Why do people's eyes grow on the head instead of the feet? It is because it tells us not to just stare at the square inch of the feet Instead, look into the distance. There are some things that can never be solved by squatting in a tent, but as long as you stand up and look into the distance, you can see a wonderful future."

"The problem of manpower, hehe, the concentration outside Pingyang City...well, what is the camp of the Xianbei people for? The problem of supplies, as long as you two need anything, I will definitely get a fair deal with me. What's there to worry about?" Fei Qian said slowly, her voice full of temptation...

"Shanyu, to the north of Yinshan Mountain, was originally the grassland of the Huns, but now it is occupied by Xianbei, and Xianbei is still a vast land to the north, hundreds of times larger than the area of ​​Pingyang, even if you run on horseback It may not be possible to reach the end last month..."

"Haoshuai, beyond Hexi, even west of Xiqiang, there are countless countries. As long as you cross that mountain, you will be called a land flowing with honey milk. There are shining gems, gold everywhere, and Gentle beauty..."

  There is a pasture in the north of Yinshan Mountain. Yu Fuluo still knows about this, but Linagu finds the description of the west of the Western Regions a little inconceivable. He said suspiciously: "There really is such a place in the west? How did Zhonglang know about this?"

  Fei Qian raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "So this is the benefit of having written inheritance! The ancient sages have been there, and they left records... If you also have written inheritance, maybe you can know this too..."

   Just bullying you for being uneducated, what can you do? As long as there is a need, believe it or not, Feiqian can also reorganize the Shan Hai Jing, and of course describe in detail that life is not only about the present, but also poetry and the distance...

   Well, poetry and distance...

   The author Jun is actually very envious of people who can live in poetry and distant places...

Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom…

   Pay attention to party sentiment and automatically give in...
