In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan has always been a special existence. After Qin Shihuang sent a large army to conquer Lingnan, a gap was finally opened in that narrow and closed barren land. 300,000 Han people poured in, causing fundamental changes in Lingnan.
Sexual changes.
Looking at the few cities on the Lingnan map, Yun Ye couldn't help but think of the famous proverb, "If you know Huguang well, the world will be enough." Those prosperous cities are still mountains and swamps, and the two lake areas are covered by
Officials regarded it as a dangerous road, not to mention the distant Guangdong and Guangxi. The imperial court's presence there was only in name. In fact, the local tribes and local kings ruled there.
Three miles have different pronunciations and ten miles have different customs. Each tribe is a small country. They have lived in the mountains and swamps for generations, isolated from the world, farming and growing by themselves, and are self-sufficient. If we say that Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty is already in this era of agriculture and industry
As for the most advanced area, Lingnan is still in the primitive society period of slash-and-burn farming.
The abundant water of the Yangtze River has created a large number of lakes in the two lakes area in this era. It can be said that there are almost swamps everywhere, and miasma permeates the wilderness. Not to mention that people are not suitable to live here, even wild animals will choose to leave here.
A small amount of places suitable for human habitation are also occupied by those short savages. If Yun Ye wants to develop Lingnan, he has to find another way. He will only go back to Lingnan when he is released. Who would go to that ghost place?
Guanzhong has long been overpopulated, and the land has become barren after thousands of years of cultivation. Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty's land distribution will carve up Guanzhong. Wei Zheng was the first person to propose the idea of moving the people in Guanzhong to serve as a frontier fortress. The result has just been
When he brought it up, he was knocked down and stepped on by ten thousand feet.
The fearless Wei Zheng gave up this forward-looking idea after failing to gain support from even one person.
The population of the Tang Dynasty was too small, with less than 2.8 million households, of which two million households were in the north, and the remaining 800,000 households were scattered across the vast wilderness of the Tang Dynasty.
Those local kings are very interesting. I don’t know where I learned that as long as you surrender to the emperor of the Central Plains, you will enjoy endless benefits. This is actually true. The emperor is always particularly gracious to surrender in good faith to areas beyond his control.
Ministers will also think that this is the result of civilized governance, which is far more glorious than conquering by force. It is said that the emperor spreads virtue widely and benevolent, and people from all over the world come to vote for him. Such strange words.
Although he did not know the meaning of the phrase "conquering the enemy without fighting" in the Art of War, Yun Ye knew that the final decision in the feudal dynasty must be a war. Conquering the enemy without fighting may be the highest secret of military strategists.
, but there are too few well-documented successful examples.
No one in the court would agree to such a retarded decision as sending troops to Lingnan. After spending a lot of money and lives, all that was gained was a vast wasteland that no one wanted to come to. Except for Qin Shihuang, who wanted to unite the world, no one was willing to fight for his ideals.
There was a war.
Li Anlan dreamed of having her own sky. In order to maximize her will, she did not hesitate to sacrifice everything she had.
If she didn't have Yun Ye to threaten, she actually didn't reject Mengcha. That thunderstorm night that frightened her to the extreme made her understand that she actually had nothing, and as long as there was someone who could help her realize her dream, she didn't want to miss it.
.
Yun Ye may be a smart man, but he is a smart man without great ambitions. He only thinks about his academy and would rather raise pigs in Yushan than take another step toward the court. This makes Li Anlan extremely disappointed.
Yun Ye couldn't give her what she longed for.
Since entrusting the matter to Yun Ye, Li Anlan has completely relaxed, and she and Xiao Lingdang have begun to prepare their luggage for the long journey.
While Yun Ye was looking at the map stupidly, Tang Jian was trembling, and the earth kings were angrily beating everything that could be thrown in the bedroom. The porcelain that they couldn't put down yesterday was broken into small pieces on the ground.
Mengcha shook the door and screamed loudly for Tang Jian to return the Wuyoucao he had snatched. His clothes were soaked with light yellow sweat, and his dark face became crazy and ferocious. (Just read the novel.)
Tang Jian stood in the yard with his eyes closed. Waves of dizziness made him almost unable to stand. He was swaying and was helped by his subordinates to sit on a low couch under the eaves.
The roars in the house gradually deepened and turned into pleas. From the interpreter's mouth, Tang Jian got the same information as what Yun Ye described. In order to get the worry-free grass, the earth kings did not hesitate to shoot a
There was a condition that Tang Jian never dared to dream of.
"I can't live, I can't die. This is a hell flower. This is really a hell flower. Only demons can cultivate such a terrible thing." Tang Jian's back was soaked with sweat, and the wind blowing through the hall made him feel cold.
He called his old family members and ordered: "Go back to your wife, put Mingyue Jue at home in the best box, and have Shanshi deliver it to Yun's house in person. The etiquette must be fulfilled, and no matter what, please ask Marquis Yun to accept it."
."
The old family members were very surprised. Mingyuejue had always been the sweetheart of her husband, and she never looked at anyone else, but now she had to give it to others respectfully. She looked up at her husband and saw that he had his eyes closed and said nothing, so she had no choice but to give it to others.
He bowed and hurried home to tell the old lady the news.
The old man didn't see that his husband's little finger was trembling all the time.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Jian packed a large piece of opium in a wooden box and ordered his officials to surround the post and not even a bird could fly out. He got on the carriage and hurried to the palace.
Looking at the opium in the box, Li Er didn't seem so surprised and said to Tang Jian: "Ai Qing, you are worrying too much. If you dedicated it to me, I would definitely use such a magical medicine whenever I have a headache or rheumatism.
There is no saying that such a plan will succeed, but if they find a few local monkeys to offer medicine, do you think I will let them get what they want?"
Looking at Tang Jian who was trembling with fear, Li Er warmly tried to comfort Tang Jian.
"This matter is the fault of Baiqisi and has nothing to do with the Qing family. The Qing family was able to reveal this matter despite their busy schedule. It can be seen that such careful comments are perfect for you. As long as Tang Qing is here, I have nothing to worry about.
That’s it.”
"Your Majesty really thinks highly of Wei Chen. Princess An Lan was the first to expose this matter. Wei Chen is just sitting back and enjoying the success. Your Majesty, please issue an order to encourage the princess."
Tang Jian is still very trustworthy. He promised Yun Ye and completed it meticulously.
"An Lan was the first to expose this matter? How is this possible? She has been in the palace for a long time, how could she know this thing? This is the first time for me to hear about it, how could she know about it? Tang Qing, you don't need to show your merit for others, what happened?
Things will come soon."
"It was Lantian Hou Yunye who came to Honglu Temple as a guest. He accidentally discovered this object and told Weichen. He also used this matter to threaten him and deceived Mingyue Jue from Weichen's family. Finally, he told Weichen that this was a princess.
What he discovered has nothing to do with him."
If Yun Ye were here, he would definitely strangle Tang Jian to death to vent his anger.
"Hey, I'm going to be a guest at your Honglu Temple? I'm afraid it's true that I want to strangle Mengcha to death. Does my idiot daughter know this thing? And you just put the credit on anyone's head, thinking it's my reward from the Tang Dynasty.
Can anyone pretend to claim it? Tang Qing retreats and leaves the matter to Baiqisi. You hand over all the prisoners to Hongcheng. Baiqisi is too lax these days."
After leaving Tai Chi Palace, Tang Jian let out a long breath. Li Er's intriguing words made him dare not hide anything just now. He said sorry to Yun Ye in his heart, but when he thought of the ancestral Mingyue Jue, he immediately felt a trace of guilt.
Overwhelmed by excruciating pain.
As an engineer, Yun Ye likes to see the busy construction sites the most, especially the methodical construction team of Yunjiazhuangzi, which is the most interesting to watch.
Yunjia villagers wear shorts and trousers made of coarse cloth and are busy at the construction site. Some are digging wells to prepare for water on the construction site. Due to some cement, building houses now requires a lot of water. Chang'an
The terrain is relatively high, so it is not easy to drill a well, and most of the well water produced is salty and cannot be drunk. Therefore, the price of a house with a sweet water well in Chang'an is much higher than that of other houses.
The Jinshui River that flows through has long been filthy after flowing through half of Chang'an City. People in Chang'an have always poured domestic sewage into the river, making half of Chang'an City smelly.
, comparable to the Longxugou in later generations of Beijing.
The scary thing is that many people still rely on the water from this smelly ditch for washing and cooking. Yun Ye saw with his own eyes that people upstream were cleaning toilets, and downstream there were people washing vegetables and cooking in the river water.
Covering his mouth, he looked back at the servants of the Yun family. The servants, who had long been familiar with their master's psychology, looked with disdain at the man washing vegetables in the dirty water. He held his head high and said to Yun Ye: "Master Hou, our family
If you are allowed to drink dirty water, the little ones should be dragged out and beaten to death. The water we drink is brought back every day by our water tanker from the spring outside the city. This is the water that the little ones drink.
, is also the well water at home. Our rule is that we don’t drink the water until it is boiled. They drink any kind of water. I’ve seen them even drink the rainwater from donkey’s hoof prints. They are a bunch of dirty ghosts.”
Now the servants of the Yun family have enough reasons to laugh at their former neighbors. They wear work clothes three times a year, which are linen servant clothes. There are spring shirts in spring, summer clothes in summer, and fur coats in winter. They are far from those who wear one set of clothes for several years.
It can be compared with that of poor small households.
In addition to the more rules, people are a little uncomfortable with it. For example, you are not allowed to drink raw water, you are not allowed to spit, and you must take a bath every three days. After punishing a few people at the beginning, the servants wanted to prevent their masters from taking back their copper coins.
, and gradually formed a habit. Now, no matter how thirsty you are, no one drinks the raw water, and no matter how tired you are, you still have to take a bath. Now when I see those old acquaintances with unkempt faces, I don’t want to say hello, for fear of losing the price.
.
This is not possible. No wonder the plague in Chang'an City has never been eliminated. There are as many as sixteen times in historical records.
Farmers in the Yun family do not have the habit of drinking boiled water. The family constantly delivers cold boiled water to the construction site. Each person has a large bamboo tube, which is enough to drink for a day. These country people have also begun to pay attention to what they used to need.
The people in the city who looked up felt contempt.
