Chapter 5512 The natives of Lingnan are hard to accept
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "That's true. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you are a Han or a barbarian. When you leave the barbarians and enter the Xia, you should do as the locals do. This has been the rule for thousands of years. The so-called Central Plains China and the Han family are just accepting the Zhou Dynasty.
The Confucian etiquette system focuses on etiquette, laws and rules, while the barbarians, because of the harsh environment in which they live, the surrounding people and tribes also advocate force.
, barbaric and aggressive, and then slowly became barbarians. The important difference is that barbarians often only have tribes, and they rarely become cities and then countries, especially the barbarians in the north and south. The grasslands are covered with grass.
And living in the south, they build villages and caves in the mountains and forests. If they have anything in common, the most important thing is that they are not good at farming."
“Only for farming, we need large water sources and plains, so we have to leave the mountains and forests, stop nomadic herding, and settle down in a plain area. We also need large rivers with sufficient irrigation nearby to serve as water supply points for farming. Of course,
This also requires farming
Land must be reclaimed and planted. In addition to having seeds suitable for the local climate, water and soil, it must also have sufficient fertility. There are many places where the land is barren, or the soil is desertified, or the salt content is very high. These places are
Difficult to farm.”
“Since ancient times, the ancestors of the Central Plains have experienced thousands of years of reclamation and expansion in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, developing patches of hot grasslands, barren swamps, or dense mountain forests into
This is the result of the continuous development and expansion of mankind for thousands of years. In some places, even thousands of years ago, such as the land of Wuyue and southern Jingxiang, there were still
It is very desolate, inaccessible, barbaric tribes that drink blood from their flesh and blood. They are the people of the past in the Central Plains. They taught the local people farming and reclamation, and then slowly developed these places into the fertile fields they are now. With the further spread of Confucianism in Zhou Dynasty,
, turned the ancestors of these places from barbarians into Han people in our Central Plains. I have to say that this is enlightenment, this is civilization, and it is also the strongest place in our Central Plains."
Doupeng curled up his lips and said: "But why didn't the countries and powerful civilizations that existed in the ancient times, or even earlier, as you said before the ancient times, develop this southern land? Or
So backward?"
The ancestor said calmly: "The war between the gods in the ancient times, in order to punish those mortals who wanted to challenge the gods, not only destroyed these countries, but also cut off all the technologies and spells they once had, and everything returned
When Pangu opened up wasteland, Nuwa
In the primitive period when humans were created, the world was full of spiritual power. It was probably the humans who were destroyed in the ancient times, or the remnants of the ancient civilizations. If you get them, you can have abundant mana. Regarding these specific things, I
It may not be too clear,
But what I know is that God has enough power to destroy the entire world between heaven and earth. After the destruction, everything will become what it was like at the beginning of heaven and earth. Even those who survive will no longer have the same abilities as before.
, to return to the ancient primitive people
Of course, this will also greatly consume the power of the gods and demons of heaven and earth, and even cause many gods to dissipate between heaven and earth. Therefore, the gods are not willing to use this method unless absolutely necessary.
Come to create a new world."
The black robe nodded: "This is conceivable. Only by realizing the Ten Thousand Years of Peace Plan can we truly have the ability to master all the mysteries between heaven and earth, and can we know the truth of the past. However, now we can only defeat
Liu Yu can do this only by not letting him change the laws between heaven and earth, and between humans and gods."
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, what we are discussing here today is how to deal with Liu Yu. But having said that, some of the powerful Han people in the Central Plains were exiled to Lingnan for breaking the law, and some were with the army.
The descendants of the soldiers who went out to conquer and settled here are mainly the survivors of the Nanyue Kingdom. Many of them were soldiers of the Qin Army. After the Han Dynasty, most of the people who came to Lingnan were the nobles who had committed crimes and were exiled. They generally did not know much about the military affairs.
powerful
technology and farming level, and the climate, water and soil in Lingnan are very different from those in the Central Plains. Wheat, which is common in the north, cannot be grown on a large scale in Lingnan, and rice requires relatively high cultivated land conditions in Lingnan. The reclamation of paddy fields
,
It is completely different from growing wheat in dry fields. However, in the Lingnan area, water sources and large rivers are limited to the southern areas near Guangzhou City. In the northern areas of Lingnan, such as the Wuling area, it is often difficult to have large rivers needed for farming.
."
Doupeng laughed: "I understand, what the ancestor means is that the conditions here in Lingnan are not suitable for farming. Firstly, it is difficult to grow wheat. Secondly, there is a lack of large water sources. Unlike the Yangtze River and Yellow River areas, plus the people who come here
There are very few Han people. Unlike the Central Plains and the Yangtze River area, countless people from the Central Plains have gone south since ancient times.
It expanded and assimilated the local barbarians to achieve its current scale. The land of Lingnan is still a place that has not been fully developed, so the Han people who come here, especially those who do not live in cities, often have to enter barbarian areas.
, over time, like them, they went into the mountains and forests to build villages and caves, and became complete southern barbarians."
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, it's similar in Nanzhong. Because there is no big river, we can only rely on the mountains. The big Han families such as the Meng family and the Cuan family served as officials and officials in the local area, but in front of
In front of officials, regard yourself as a chief,
When Qu is handsome, the former personal guards have become their tribesmen. The same is true in Lingnan. In fact, as long as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Han people do not migrate to these places in large groups, they will be forced to
Burning mountains, destroying forests, and creating farmland
, and digging rivers to divert water for irrigation, it is difficult to turn these areas into farming. Just like on the grassland, it is even more difficult to turn the grassland into farming areas. No matter how many Han immigrants move there,
In the end, they all turned into nomadic tribes, too.
Because the grassland lacks water, it is impossible to irrigate. This is probably the environment created by the God of Creation between heaven and earth, so that the Central Plains is surrounded by barbarians from all directions, and is isolated from further overseas and into the desert.
Let’s expand outward.”
Speaking of this, the ancestor's eyes flashed coldly: "So, if these powerful Han people in Lingnan live in cities and ports, many of them specialize in trade and survive not by farming but by doing business, you are
How do you plan to control these people?" (End of Chapter)
