58. Pan fire kang, dig cellars, pack schoolbags for next year
"Master has become so diligent recently. I have never seen him so busy after working with him for so many years. I remember that he never worked so hard when he was repairing us three brothers."
Xiao Zhao, who has suffered from being neglected by his master and suffering from beautiful girls recently, complained feebly with two big dark circles under his eyes. Speaking of Xiao Zhao, he didn't do any strenuous exercise at night, so why couldn't he still sleep well?
Could it be that...
Zhao Yun looked at Li Shushi's expression of being lost in his thoughts, and couldn't help but secretly sighed, saying that everything about this man was fine, but he didn't know why there were so many weird things in his head, and he always liked to think wildly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Brother Zilong, it's wrong to be jealous~ And you really hope that Old Man Tong will be more forceful when he teaches you a lesson. I don't see it, you are still an authentic M. (Quietly) Could it be that the legendary Ma Chao
My sister Zhao Yun’s wife Ma Yunlu’s little friend is
An S? But as an M, why doesn’t Xiao Zhao Tong Shoe enjoy himself for a long time before defeating the enemy like the Super M Five Xiaoqiang? Could it be that although Xiao Zhao Tong Shoes really hopes to become an M, he can’t see blood because of hemophilia, so he becomes more
Aggravated his M’s psychological needs?”
"So, Xiaoyun, you are just a shou, a top-notch fake shou." After finishing his thoughts, Li Shushi patted Zhao Yun heavily, who was already frozen by the cold air.
"Hey, Fengxian, what kind of impostor is that?" Dian Wei Tongxiao, who was very shameless and inquisitive, poked Lu Bu next to him with his elbow.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. It's usually better not to be too clear about the things that come to my mind at this time." Lu Bu, who had a beast-like intuition, taught his junior Dian Wei Tongxie very seriously.
There are colors of yellow, yellow and green along the way. Now is the season of wheat filling and harvesting. Whether you can have a peaceful New Year after a hard year depends on how God behaves during this period.
This year, everything in the Central Plains is not peaceful. A severe drought at the beginning of the year in Nanyang in the south led to locust flooding, and floods in the Huaihe River Basin were monstrous in the summer. The Sili area also experienced many hailstorms in the summer. Heavy rains in Qingzhou also triggered mudslides in some areas.
The Wuyue area has been severely affected by typhoons. A large-scale plague broke out in Youji and Hebei states. This has had a great impact on this year's harvest.
But as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, the people will not let it go. Looking at the smiling farmers on the field ridge watching the satisfactory growth of their crops, Li Shushi had to lament how great a group of agriculturists headed by Yuan Longping will be in the future.
Great, maybe they were the only group of scholars in that era when there were as many barking beasts as dogs roaming the streets, but their consciences still remembered where to put them. They used their thin shoulders to support the fragile backbone of the nation.
"Perhaps it's time for the big man to stir up trouble." Li Shushi really couldn't stop saying nothing.
"Why does the book say that there is no king and no father?" Compared with Lu Bu, Dian Wei's indifference and Zhang He's slightly thoughtful silence, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun's reactions were a little excited, but Zhao Yun was beaten by two
The big loli pestered her, but Tai Shici took the lead.
"Ziyi, do you know how many people there are in Han Dynasty now?" Li Shushi was not angry. This kind of thing is indeed a bit unacceptable.
"Ci, I don't know."
Although he was dissatisfied with what Li Shushi said just now, this did not prevent Taishi Ci from listening to Li Shushi's opinion on what he said. After all, in this era, there was still a debate between modern classics and ancient classics in Shang Dynasty, and although his openness of thought was not as good as in the pre-Qin period
But it was far better than the later Ming and Qing Dynasties. What's more, Tai Shici believed that Li Shushi was a master in knowledge, and he was not as knowledgeable as him. Maybe the other party knew something hidden.
"During the reign of Emperor Huan, the population of the Han Dynasty exceeded 10 million, with a population of over 50 million. This does not include the runaway slaves concealed by powerful powers in various places, so the actual population is probably close to 60 million." Li Shushi said based on the research results of later generations of scholars.
There was a number that shocked everyone.
"But the most productive land in the country is southwestern Youzhou, most of Jizhou, northwestern Qingzhou, western Yanzhou, most of Yuzhou, northern Jingyang and central Yizhou, as well as the Guanzhong Plain and the Gyeonggi region of Henan Province. Other places are not mountainous.
Hilly means some undeveloped barren land or mountain forest
Yanze. Most of those fertile lands have now been concentrated in the hands of local powerful people. The people who have lost their land have to pay a huge price to rent the land that originally belonged to them, or they must leave their hometowns and be displaced. These two types of people only need a little time.
A slight disturbance can cause serious trouble."
After saying that, Li Shushi smiled and looked at Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, who looked thoughtful. Before the two of them came to their senses, he continued his deception.
"What should we do if we want to change this situation? The answer is two ways. First, let the landlords give up the land in their hands and return the land to the people who have lost their land. But do you think this method is feasible?
? Putting aside the greedy nature of people, let’s just say that even if you return the land, the population will still be so large. In this era of low productivity, the resistance of a single family to disasters will still be very low. As a result, as long as there is a natural disaster**
It will still provoke civil unrest."
"What about the second one?" Tai Shici, who asked the question, swallowed unconsciously, because he felt that his question might be the answer to Li Shushi's subversive issue just now.
"It's very simple. Since it can't be digested, then let the excess population die."
Li Shushi said it easily, but everyone was stunned by this bloody speech.
Li Shushi curled his lips and thought to himself that if it weren't for those agriculturists who doubled the production of grain regardless of quality and the almost inhumane family planning policy, the country might have collapsed long ago. The big man now is just
It is just a preview of the future country with a population of more than one billion. If it were not for the joint efforts of the government and scientists, today's Han Dynasty and the decline history of the previous dynasties in the Central Plains would be a reflection of the future government.
As for the black gold and others, it’s just a trivial matter. Apart from the Qin State during Shang Yang’s reign, which other country in the world has been able to do this? Are you talking about Singapore? Come on, look at the A Bian case where they paid half and deducted half.
behavior and behavior
Do you think they are clean because of their central position as a capital transfer station? Of course, they are already considered good. Don’t those dwarfs in our neighboring countries to the east prefer black gold? There are endless similar cases. But which country?
Has it collapsed? No.
"By the way, Shushi, what did you say about our low 'productivity' just now?" Zhang He raised his hand and asked.
"To put it simply, productivity is the ability to produce things. In terms of farming, it means how much grain you can harvest from one acre of land. A certain book that is said to be a heavenly book said that we can produce thousands of kilograms of grain per acre in the future, so the population at that time was more than one
Thousands of households.”
Li Shushi felt that he had gone too far, so he broke out in a cold sweat while explaining.
"Book of Heaven, what Book of Heaven?" Zhang He is really a good classmate who loves learning, but why is he coming after us? Li Shushi felt that the coffee table in his heart was piling up more and more, and he could hardly lift it anymore.
"Because we can't understand it either. Do you know what 'gene' is? Do you know what 'hybridization' is? Do you know what 'adenine' is? Do you know what 'hereditary traits' are?"
"Poor Jun Yi, doesn't he know that Shu Shi likes to say some weird words that no one can understand?" Lu Bu and Dian Wei whispered.
"Yes, yes, I don't understand what he is talking about at all." Lao Dian nodded repeatedly at Lu Bu's statement.
"Tch, that's just because he doesn't know how to make it up." Su Xiaololi's complaint was very sharp.
"In short, it's time for us to go home and prepare for the winter." Li Shushi ended the topic, but...
"It's been perfunctory..."
"I hastily dealt with it..."
Xiaodouzi, aren't you and Fan Juan enemies? How come you are so synchronous with your rants?
"But we really need to be well prepared, otherwise it will be a big problem for a large group of people to eat and drink." Su Xiaoluoli, the chief housekeeper of the Li Mansion, saved Li Shushi at a critical moment.
"So as the master, you have to lead by example." But in the blink of an eye, Li Shushi was killed alone.
"Yes, yes..." Su Yu, you changed your mind so quickly. Li Shushi was full of confidence at this time.
However, although the topic caused by Li Shushi was diverted by Zhang He, everyone knew what he was going to say in their hearts. Although they talked about killing superfluous people, who in this world would think that he was superfluous?
What about people? For personal survival, for the survival of family members, and for the survival of clan, everyone will do whatever it takes.
No wonder someone once said that the struggle for living space is one of the most brutal games in the world.
There was still laughter and laughter on the way home, but a seed of restlessness was planted deep in everyone's heart.
