Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1124
Chapter 1136

Ran Ming smiled slightly, shook his numb arms, and said, "Go take a bath first, and then eat!" Lin Heishan and Ran Ming went to take a hot bath together, changed their clothes, and then began to eat.But as soon as Ran Ming picked up the chopsticks, Zhong Changshi came with a stack of documents.

"Old servant sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ten thousand words!" Ran Ming glanced at Zhong Chang Shi Youyi, who was haggard and haggard, with red eyes like rabbits, obviously he hadn't slept all night.Ran Ming said: "You old man, how many times have I told you that I don't need to wait for you when I'm resting. You can go to sleep when you should, and do what you have to do!"

You Yi hurriedly said: "Other people don't care about the importance of things, and I really don't feel relieved if I don't stare at the old slave!"

Ran Ming smiled and closed his eyes and said: "You don't understand, you don't understand... Rules are dead, people are alive, sometimes you can change it, Zhuge Liang is exhausted, you don't want to imitate Zhuge Liang? Bar?"

Hearing Ran Ming's words, You Yi's eyes became even redder.Ran Ming ignored You Yi, and said directly: "You came just in time, I haven't eaten yet, let's sit down and eat together!"

As he spoke, Ran Ming handed a fat chicken leg to You Yi, who took the chicken leg and knelt on the ground with a plop.This chicken leg was given to him by Ran Ming, which represents the holy grace.You Yi's lacrimal glands seemed to be very rich, and they flowed out all at once.Lin Heishan said: "Oh, Lao You, why are you crying?"

There are countless words of gratitude in You Yi's heart.He choked up for a while but couldn't say a word.

Ran Ming smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to him, he's just a bitch."

In fact, Ran Ming didn't like to eat greasy food in the morning very much, but he was an emperor, so the food was carefully selected.Looking at the fat chicken legs made Ran Ming lose his appetite. Lin Heishan, a carnivore, was only interested in beef and mutton.Ran Ming said: "It's just a chicken leg, don't think too much, just sit down and eat!"

Ran Ming didn't like eunuchs, everyone could tell that the imperial palace had been letting old eunuchs and maids out for more than ten years since the founding of Wei, but they didn't recruit them in.There are fewer and fewer eunuchs and palace maids around Youyi, Zhongchang Shi Youyi, and he is also worried that one day he will be kicked out of the palace.But when he saw Ran Ming treat him like this, he couldn't be more moved.Jun's kindness is like mountains and seas, this small bite of chicken leg meat enters the throat, it is really like Qiongzhi fairy liquid can nourish the internal organs, and You Yi was moved to burst into tears for a while.

After this episode, Ran Ming immediately opened up the information.Among the representatives of the 39 American departments, some are indeed descendants of Yin and Shang, and some are not related at all.After all, with the navigation technology of more than 1000 years ago, migrating to the Americas would definitely have a great risk. The 25 survivors died on the way, accounting for a very large proportion.Even if another archaeologist may migrate overland from the continental shelf of the Bering Strait, there will be many deaths.There are indigenous tribes along the way, as well as wild animals and diseases. Due to multiple factors, there must not be too many people who can successfully reach the Americas, and they are slowly assimilated by the indigenous people.

Ran Ming is very much looking forward to the arrival of the American delegation.

On the wide surface of the Yellow River, Hester, standing on the deck, said to the officials of Wei State: "We Wei State's territory is really too big, and we walked all the way for seven or eight days."

Hurst complained to Wei officials while looking at the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River.It's a pity that the territory of Wei State that Hearst passed was only a very small part.If you set off from Jinzhou (Sumatra), the southernmost part of Wei State's territory, if you want to reach Yecheng, you can't do it without two or three months.Of course, if the Central-South Railway in Wei State is completed, this time will be faster, but it will take more than half a month.If you start from Yecheng to Xinzhou, the whole journey is more than [-] miles, even if you take the fastest way in the army, it will take three to four months.However, now the main artery of the west line of the Wei State Railway has been repaired to Qinzhou.Can save months of time.

But for the ignorance of the American delegation, the officials of Wei State were unable to complain.The city-states in America generally have a radius of only tens of miles, and some large city-states can reach hundreds of miles.But their way of moving forward is on foot. Who would think of them, either by boat or by train, and occasionally by horse-drawn carriage.The speed is much faster than in the Americas, but Wei Guo deliberately took many detours in order to open the eyes of these American representatives. If you only pursue speed, the distance from Qu County to Yecheng is more than [-] miles, and it is completely possible. It took three or four days to arrive in Yecheng.

At this time, the vegetation on the Loess Plateau had not been completely destroyed, and the Yellow River was not as turbid and turbulent as it was in later generations. Especially in the middle and lower reaches, the river surface was relatively gentle, so ordinary large ships could sail on the river.During the time when Ran Ming came, Wei Guo adopted many inventions and changed people's living habits.In ancient times, people used to build houses mainly made of wood, which required cutting down a lot of trees.Coupled with the fact that countless people burn dry firewood to boil water for cooking and heating, the amount of wood consumed has doubled.In particular, Chang'an, the capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, increased the population of Guanzhong to more than 400 million.If you add the merchants from all over the country and the number of troops stationed in Guanzhong, this number will suddenly reach 500 million people.The consumption of as many as 500 million people is an extreme burden on Guanzhong's soil and forest resources.As a result, Chang'an, the capital of Tang, Sui and Tang Dynasties, was established for more than 300 years. The excessive development of Guanzhong resulted in the destruction of a large number of vegetation on the Loess Plateau, serious soil erosion, and more and more gaps in the Yellow River.

With the use of coal resources to replace firewood in a large amount in Wei State, and the wood of houses and buildings was replaced by reinforced concrete, a large number of forests in Wei State were preserved and even recovered.

"From Qu County to Yecheng is only a very small part of Wei State's territory. If you reach Chuzhou and Xinzhou in the far west from here, that is the western border of Wei State, but you will definitely not be able to reach your destination this year. It’s gone.” The Wei official patiently explained: “It’s true that the territory is too large and there is a problem of inconvenient transportation, but this is not without a solution. Now we, the Great Wei, are already solving the traffic problem. Our main transportation is to use high-speed For roads and railways, trains can run [-] miles in [-] hours a day. In fact, it only takes a little more than a day to travel from Qu County to Yecheng. Maybe in a few years, our trains can run faster. By then Not to mention going from Qu County to Yecheng, even if you go from Xinzhou to Yecheng, you don’t need to spend more than a month on your way.”

In fact, in addition to expressways and railways, Wei Guo also vigorously developed water transportation. Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal, the backbone of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in later generations, are all under intense construction.In order to dredge these ditches, the Wei State spent much more than the Sui and Tang Dynasties.First of all, the embankment of the ditch is constructed of reinforced concrete to ensure that no floods will be caused by heavy rain.It also protects against soil erosion.The second is the water and soil protection of the canal and river systems.The best way to protect water and soil erosion is to plant trees and grass. Excessive land reclamation will only increase the damage to the water and soil environment.It's just that the later celestial dynasties had too many people and didn't have enough land to support such a population, but Wei Guo didn't have this worry at this time.

Wei's navy is really capable. They are robbing food all over the world. Now the dependent countries of Pandya and Puli Kingdom in South India are mainly food production. Rice is harvested twice a year, and the fertile land can make the two countries Nearly 6000 million shi of rice are produced annually.Half of these grains were bought at a low price and shipped to Wei.In addition to these two vassal states, Wei State can also get about 3000 million shi of grain from Ningyuan (Java Island), Zhenyuan (Luzon Island), and Jinzhou (Sumatra Island).6000 million shi of grain per year can almost feed 1000 million young and middle-aged people.

Of course, these grains were not actually put into Wei's grain market, because this would destroy Wei's agricultural system.If it is really unprofitable to farm the land, I am afraid that no one will farm the land.Of course, the state of Wei will use these grains to feed the huge army of slaves, and the army of slaves who are working hard for the modernization of the state of Wei cannot let them just work without eating, otherwise they will rebel.

Hearst and others went upstream along the Yellow River, turned into Zhangshui, and gradually approached Yecheng.Yecheng is not so much a city as it is a prosperous economic circle.This is similar to the emperors of later generations, including Yecheng, Neihuang, Linli (today's Linzhou), Tangyin, Linzhang, Linshui, and Shexian all belong to this circle.

Landing at Jingyang Ferry on the Zhanghe River, there is a concrete road leading directly to Yecheng, but at this time, rows of flags have been erected on both sides of the road, asking Facebook to write: "Welcome home!"

Wei official said: "Your representative of the 39 departments in the Americas represents the 1000 people of one of our Huaxia branches more than 25 years ago. You have been living in foreign lands for more than 400 years. Your Majesty represents the 2000 million subjects of Wei. go home!"

Going home is a very unfamiliar word for people who live at home all year round.But for those wandering outside, this is not only a temptation, but also a spiritual shock and shock.Hearst and the American representatives have different ideas. Some of them are indeed descendants of Yin Shang survivors, and they all have extremely strong feelings for Yin.

Like a devout ascetic, Hearst kowtowed and bowed step by step, slowly moving towards Yecheng with his knees and head.In addition to Hearst, there are more than 100 descendants of the same Yin and Shang survivors who are also doing the same action.The other American representatives also felt embarrassed. Following the rhythm of Hearst, they paid tribute to Yecheng in their own way.

When ancient Egypt was conquered by the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, the ancient Egyptian civilization became a thing of the past.When the Two Rivers civilization was annexed by Japan, the most brilliant civilization of the day turned into a long yellow sand.The ancient Indian civilization was invaded by foreign countries, and it was also messed up.Only the Chinese civilization is still burning its China, shining candles on China and shining on China.Chinese culture is the oldest culture in the world and one of the sources of culture in the world.It stretches endlessly across the long river of human history. It has experienced a glorious period of development and has had a major impact on the progress of human civilization with its unique system.

The Chinese civilization is different from the other three ancient civilizations in the world, mainly because the Chinese civilization is very particular about inheritance.From a small point of view, there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no offspring.From a general point of view, "Zhuangzi. Health Preserving Master": "Referring to being poor for salary, the fire is passed on, and the end is unknown." Originally, the firewood can be burned out, and the fire can still be passed on.Passing on the torch is a metaphor that the body and bones are exhausted but the spirit is immortal.In history, Chinese civilization, like other civilizations, has encountered countless invasions. Sometimes, Chinese civilization can successfully resist the invasion and defend the country, and sometimes it is completely lost. However, the inheritance of Chinese civilization has never been cut off.

As descendants of Yanhuang and descendants of the dragon, the Chinese nation has a strong tradition of cohesion and unity.In the long course of history, many nations in the world have disappeared, and many of them have made outstanding contributions to mankind.For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has not disintegrated and prospered even though it has experienced severe struggles with nature and enemies. It is because she has a glorious overall image and a spiritual bond of unity and forge ahead. The role of the heart.

There is a book called "Wolf Totem", which tries to whitewash Mongolia.Familiar with the wolf culture of Mongolia, like countless nations in the world, it is only a flash in the pan.No matter how whitewashed it is, it cannot change the wolf's selfish, cruel, bloodthirsty and aggressive nature.Some people say that the Mongols are very united and will always be more united than the Han people.Facts make people who express this point of view either brain-dead or idiots.If you look through the history of Mongolia, you will find that they cut their own people much more fiercely than outsiders.From the unification of Mongolia, to the rapid split into four major khanates, and then to each other, nearly a hundred years of melee, if they are united, I am afraid that Comrade Zhu will not be able to drive the Mongols out.

But China's dragon totem is different: "Dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; big can make clouds and fog, small can hide its shape, rise can fly between the universe, and hide can hide in the waves." .Dragon rides on time and changes, just like a man who achieves his will and crosses the world. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world. Heroes are those who have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who have the ambitions of the world.”

In order to welcome the American delegation, Wei Guo not only hung countless "Welcome Home" pennants on both sides of the official road, but also countless dragon lanterns, dragon statues, and dragon flags on both sides of the official road.

When the high priest of Feathered Serpent in the American delegation saw the lifelike dragon lanterns and dragon statues, he was even more excited.The Feathered Serpent God is the common belief of all ethnic groups and tribes in America. Although their languages ​​and customs are varied and different, they all share the same belief.

The smart craftsmen of Wei State also made many mechanisms inside the dragon lantern and dragon statue. Not only can the dragon perform some specific actions, but it can also make the dragon lantern and dragon statue spit fire and fog from time to time.In terms of the ability to pretend to be gods and ghosts, Taoist priests are much better than these American priests. Those warlocks who are used to making alchemy indiscriminately created dry ice unintentionally. As long as the dry ice is released, it will form billowing mist. Spawned, these dragons are as if alive.Especially the fire sprayed from the dragon's mouth. This is a modified fire-breathing oil tank. One launch can launch more than ten catties of fierce fire oil to form a series of fire dragons.

From Jingyang Ferry on the Zhanghe River to the short [-]-mile official road in Yecheng, countless organ dragon lanterns and dragon-shaped statues, in conjunction with the collective roar of ventriloquists, spew out fire dragons and spit out clouds and mist from time to time. , Let the entire official road be filled with mist and flames soaring into the sky.Not only the American delegation was shocked, but even the people of Wei State were indeed taken aback.

The high priest of the Feathered Serpent God has worshiped the Feathered Serpent God for most of his life, and he himself has never seen the Feathered Serpent God appear. However, in Wei Kingdom, in this legendary heaven, dozens of winding dragons suddenly appeared. .This made the high priests of the Feathered Serpent God in the American delegation almost faint with happiness.

The representatives of the American delegation thought it was a miracle, and it was the favor of the gods for the kingdom of heaven.They passed it on by word of mouth, but where have they really seen the appearance of the Feathered Serpent God?If it's just these tricks, then I'm too sorry for the whimsy of Ran Ming, a later generation.Ran Ming remembered that when Spain conquered the Americas, one of the advantages was that the Aztecs had a legend about people from the sea, referring to some white-skinned, white-bearded people who came from the sea and taught them various knowledge , Helped them build temples, and later left from the sea, and promised to come back in the future. These people were called "Quesarcoatl" by the Aztecs.So when the Spaniards came to Tenochtitlan in the Aztec Empire, their white skin gave them a huge advantage.The Aztecs thought their god had returned to them as promised, so they held a feast to celebrate.Unexpectedly, these "gods" destroyed them.
