"In the second year of Shenlong, a fleet led by Gongsun Lin, a doctor from the Academy (also my deceased teacher), sailed on the endless sea for three months. Due to mistakenly entering a storm, the entire fleet finally drifted to a
On the island."
In the Supervisory Building of the Academy, Su Feng, a Ph.D. in Science, is sitting on the edge of the desk, teaching students a lesson in a chatting manner.
"When Dr. Xue Gong, teachers, disciples, and crew members of the Yu Kingdom disembarked from the ship, a massacre among the indigenous residents was taking place on the island.
A group of nine hundred brown-skinned Lemo people (as they were called in their own language) came across the sea in canoes, carrying spears, bows and arrows, and obsidian knives and axes.
Their opponents are the Morio people, the native people of the island, with a total number of 1,800. In terms of numbers, the Morio people have the advantage, and four days ago they discovered that they were gradually landing on the island. On the coast
The Limo people set up camp on the border, showing a warlike attitude.
If the Morio people, the indigenous people of the island, had organized effectively in advance, strengthened the town's defense lines, and mobilized the villagers, then they might have been able to repel the invaders.
However, the Morio people have always respected the peaceful resolution of any disputes. At the meeting, they jointly agreed not to launch a hostile counterattack, but sent envoys to the Limo camp, intending to peacefully share the island's rich natural resources with the other party.
.
On the way to the Lemorian camp, the envoy launched a full-scale attack. Within a few days, nine hundred Lemomen captured the town, brutally killed hundreds of Morios, and killed the remaining ones.
people become slaves or store grain."
Su Feng paused for a moment, glanced at the students in the audience, and said: "The main theme of this story is not all that you will perish if you forget to fight.
My teacher Gongsun Lin was a scholar with a Neo-Confucian spirit. He came forward to mediate the war on the island, or rather the massacre.
Using the force of the monks from the Cloud Patrol Realm, he ordered the invading Limo people to release the Morio people who originally lived on the pirate ship.
Of course, this kind of thing happens often. As you have heard, almost every few years, news comes back from Lingnan Road that the Xuegong fleet has discovered several new islands and the original inhabitants of the islands."
Some students under the podium laughed in a friendly manner. The successive emperors of Li and Yu perfectly inherited the characteristics of their ancestors who celebrated great achievements. Every year in large-scale celebrations, it was indispensable for foreign vassal countries to present rare treasures.
In the past, there was even a certain island king who vomited and had diarrhea on the spot during the annual tribute ceremony at the Daming Palace because he was not acclimated to the climate. It was rumored that he was a laughing stock in the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Xi Jing.
"Of course, the reason why this war is so special is because Dr. Gongsun Lin discovered a terrible fact after investigation. The Limer and Morio people have a common ancestor.
Their ancestors set out from Pori Island in a canoe five hundred years ago and found an archipelago along the ocean current. Several groups settled on each island.
Later, due to changes in the direction of the endless sea wind, fish schools migrated, and the waters of that archipelago were occupied by dangerous sea beasts, making it impossible for mortals to sail. Over time, the connections between the various islands were severed.
The island assigned to the Lime people was larger in area and had a mild climate. Due to the danger of the ocean, they were forced to use the crops left by their ancestors to plant crops on the island. As the population increased, nobles, commoners and slaves evolved - the nobles occupied the land
Separate kingdoms, train guards, and compete for limited farmland.
The Morio people's island has a cold climate and cannot plant the crop seeds left by their ancestors, so they have to return to a life of collecting berries and hunting wild animals.
Therefore, they do not have people who specialize in handicrafts, nor do they have armies, prisons, chief executives, or distinctions between nobles and civilians."
"He is indeed a barbarian."
Someone under the podium complained in a low voice, but Su Feng was not affected and continued: "The lack of large tracts of farmland means that there is a limit to the population.
Dr. Gongsun Lin judged based on the tombs of different periods on the island that the number of Morio people never exceeded 3,000, but always fluctuated between 1,000 and 2,000.
Such a small number of people means that they cannot withstand consumption. They are forced to learn to live in harmony, and always negotiate to resolve disputes when encountering them. To a certain extent, they do not pick up lost items on the road and do not close their homes at night.
Even in order to reduce the population and potential conflicts, they will not give birth to children, or kill some babies - just like Dr. Xuegong discovered that mice with limited resources will do the same.
Since the writing systems of the Morio people and the Limo people originated from the same ancestor and have not changed much, Dr. Gongsun Lin can deduce what happened based on the textual data.
The Morio people are a gathering and hunting tribe, while the Limer people are an agricultural tribe. The latter have stronger leaders, organizations, more advanced technology, richer war experience and a stronger desire to plunder.
Therefore, this group of brotherly tribes who had only been separated for five hundred years, under the influence of the natural environment, evolved into a tribal form that was completely incomprehensible to each other within five hundred years.
And there is such a big gap in terms of war capabilities.
So much so that if the academy fleet had not appeared in a dramatic way, the Morio people would have been completely slaughtered."
Dr. Su Feng glanced at the thoughtful students in the audience, cleared his throat and said: "When I was young at the time, my teacher told me this story and asked me to write a paper and submit it to him.
I have tried to interpret it from multiple angles.
First of all, it is a counter-evidence to the theory of small countries with few people in the "Tao Te Ching". The people are self-sufficient, the people do not interact with each other until old age and death, and there is no war disaster in the world. This is the ideal state of the sage. Only with one's own strength can others stop wars and people stop chaos.<
/p>
The second is the limitation caused by natural kindness. Morio people who have never experienced war hope that the other party can wake up and live in peace until the last moment before they die.
In fact, our academy has had this kind of debate before.
Some doctors believe that the exploration of the Endless Sea should be stopped permanently. The Endless Sea is surrounded by monsters and monsters that are incomprehensible, and there are many extremely dangerous alien creatures. There are also indigenous tribes on some islands that have given birth to monks whose practice systems are very different from those in the Central Plains.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
What if there is an extremely powerful and extremely warlike kingdom of monks at the end of the endless sea?
They also have monks equivalent to the Zhuxiao realm, maybe even more in number, and their monks are even more than just the Zhuxiao realm.
Maybe they are also exploring the endless sea in reverse,
Maybe when they know of our existence, they will attack at all costs,
Maybe we should close ourselves off, withdraw from the Endless Sea, seal off the coastline, try not to expose our existence as much as possible, and eliminate everything that can bring disaster."
Su Feng spread his hands and said: "In addition, there is the relationship between mortals and practitioners.
Examples from Hundred Thousand Barren Mountains and Endless Sea Islands have proven that a tribe with a small number of people can also produce powerful practitioners.
But only when the number of mortals is large enough, can there be a large number of hardcore monks who can pass on the knowledge of practice instead of ups and downs, and one generation is inferior to the other."
"Dr. Su Feng,"
Li Leling raised her hand and asked: "What was the content of the last paper you submitted to Dr. Gongsun Lin?"
"This is it."
Su Feng smiled slightly and said: "Environment determines everything.
It is the natural environment that prevents the Morio people from farming and is forced to gather and hunt, thus limiting their population limit.
It is decided that they solve problems through negotiation and do not understand the folk customs of war.
As a result, they lacked the ability to fight and were almost exterminated by the 'brother' tribe that had been separated for five hundred years.
At the end of that paper, I also tried to use the theory of environmental determination to explain the change of dynasties in the Central Plains.
Whenever the temperature drops sharply year after year, it will lead to intensive natural disasters and reduced crop yields.
The Central Plains dynasty will lack room for error and be prone to frequent turbulence. If you are not careful, you will lose everything, collapse completely, and usher in troubled times.
For example, the Han Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Even monks appear extremely insignificant in the face of the power of the climate and environment - they can't take care of themselves, but they can't take care of the vast number of people.
But this also shows the importance and greatness of our academy.
The academy means competing with the sky, the earth, and people. Even going against the will of heaven and changing fate, using technology to transform nature, so that disasters are no longer so terrifying to the people."
When the bell rang, Su Feng clapped his hands and jumped down from the podium. While packing up the class materials, he told the students: "Your homework for this class is based on what I relayed about Morio.
The story of people and Limo people, write an essay on the theme of environmental decision-making.
Angle of your choice,
This may be why there are always nomadic barbarian tribes in the northern part of the Central Plains, changing one after another.
It can be the correlation between difficult living conditions and the birth rate of monks,
It can even be a reasonable illusion, such as what will happen if a long winter comes and snow lasts for more than ten years.
It requires at least 5,000 words, and parallel prose cannot be used. You can go to the library to check more information, and submit it at the beginning of next month."
As soon as I heard that I had to write a long paper again, there was a cry in the classroom.
Li Wei, who was in the back row of the classroom, slumped on his desk - he really couldn't write the paper.
The last national history article used water essay techniques like "I wash the inkstone tree at the head of my house, and wash the inkstone pond next to my house" and "This is the situation. The specific situation depends on the situation."
Dr. Wang Wenlun, who taught Chinese history, singled out Dr. Wang Wenlun and criticized him, almost causing Li Wei's social death.
In addition, don’t try to get by by hiring someone to write for you, or by “borrowing” papers from students in previous academies.
First of all, the academic style of Xuegong is completely different from other academies in the world. It is not that Xuegong disciples would not be able to write such things.
Secondly, in the Dongjun Building of the Academy, I heard that there is an insect-shaped alien called "Sorabella".
It can permanently remember the text content of the book by swallowing it, and regurgitate the relevant information according to the user's needs.
Although I don’t know what the specific operation of [spitting out relevant information] is,
However, [Silver Fairy] is indeed used by Dr. Xu Gong as a huge backup library, a browser, and a paper plagiarism check tool. Multiple [Silver Fairy] can be connected in parallel to form a network called [Weaving Network].
Large-scale network, transfer data, exchange what is needed.
‘Xian Mingwei, weaving a net, you have committed a heinous crime!’
Li Ang didn't need to think about it to know the resentment in the hearts of the students around him. He himself didn't care about writing papers. There was too much written in the memory of the other world.
"Dr. Su Feng."
Li Ang put away the textbooks on his desk and caught up with Su Feng who was walking out of the classroom.
"Oh, the sun is rising."
Su Feng smiled and said: "Are you going to borrow books again?"
"Yeah."
Li Ang nodded, and the Academy Library lent out books. There were requirements for the type of books, the age, cultivation, grades, credits, and conduct of the disciples.
Ordinary freshmen cannot read many books at all. They must have a license written by Dr. Xuegong himself before they can access certain books or books.
Li Ang has a good relationship with Su Feng and often asks him for proof of borrowing books.
"Which one is it this time?"
Su Feng took out the form from the package with familiarity, filled in his name, and asked casually.
"Three books, "Fangyu Shenglan of the Southern Zhou Dynasty", "Geography of Tianzhu", and "A Detailed Study of the Inheritance Line and Existing Variations of Medieval Zen"."
Li Ang reported the names of the three books, and Su Feng, who was signing the book, raised his head in surprise, "Why did you remember to read the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Tianzhu map and Zen Buddhism materials?"
"Some time ago, I watched the debate between monks and Taoists in Chang'an City, and I felt a little unhappy that a great monk was talking nonsense."
Li Ang actually wanted to check the books and find out the origin and function of the dark lotus.
He immediately came up with the rhetoric he had prepared long ago and said without changing his expression: "So I want to see the spread path of Zen Buddhism from Tianzhu to Southern Zhou Dynasty and then to Yu State."
"Oh."
Su Feng smiled when he heard this and signed his name readily. As a doctor of science, he also disliked those monks who exploited the money of good men and women.
In fact, Su Feng has no good impressions of Monkism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism, etc., and he is not very pious towards Haotian Taoism.
This can be regarded as a tradition passed down from Dr. Gongsun Lin and the earlier Neo-Confucian lineage.
By the way, although Dr. Su Feng is disgusted with all religions, he never fails to attend the debates between monks and Taoists in Chang'an City every year.
Whenever a monk or a Taoist priest is at a disadvantage in a debate,
He would pretend to be a passer-by, stir up trouble in the audience, quote scriptures and classics to attack the dominant party, and make the atmosphere of the debate or quarrel more intense, and he would never tire of it.
If a monk or Taoist priest starts a fight on the spot, he will have a few more bites of dinner.
It can be said that he is a very stylish fun person.
"Mum, borrowing note."
Su Feng handed the form to Li Ang and said casually: "By the way Risheng, it's actually not good for you to read in the library every day after class.
Academy disciples always need to be active. Even if you don’t like fighting and fighting, you can still play Cuju or polo."
"This... Let's talk about it, let's talk about it."
Li Ang laughed and laughed. Cuju in the Academy is not just a simple football. You have to wear protective talismans. You can use flying swords, telekinesis, spells, etc. to attack, hinder opponents, and at the same time find ways to score goals.
It is a violent game that combines wisdom, strategy, operation, and teamwork.
A group of monks slashed their opponents with flying swords on the field, while using special materials to kick the ball that couldn't be broken. From time to time, some people chanted forbidden spells, released field spells, and summoned thunderstorms and fire rain...
p>
Don’t make the scene too chaotic.
Li Ang is not very interested in this kind of violent game, but it is indeed the most popular sport in the academy, and you can get extra credits by participating in the game. Li Wei's recent goal is to join the senior team to make up for his lack of time.
Lost credits from regular courses.
