Chapter Seventeen Puyang

The Zhuxia civilization has been in the upper reaches of the river thousands of years ago. Some counties in Liangzhou are the source of civilization, such as Longxi, Hanyang, and Northland. With the development of civilization, the footprints of the Zhuxia people have advanced eastward along the river and expanded north and south, which has the current Shenzhou, which is now a vast and vast land.

The Xia peoples have descended from generation to generation. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Guanzhong was a heavy grain-producing place. However, as time went by, the excessive development of Guanzhong gradually made Guanzhong increasingly poor, and grain output moved from Guanzhong to Guandong, that is, Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

This is the Central Plains.

Dongjun should be considered as the middle position of the Central Plains.

Before the Yellow Turbans, this place was a large-capital county. The river was nurtured and nourished. There were more than 200,000 households in just one Dongjun, which was not much worse than Nanyang, the most populous county. However, with the rise of Yellow Turbans, the Central Plains was a severely affected area. The riots and wars were surrounded by wars for years, causing the population density here to drop rapidly. By now, when the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, the population of Dongjun was only one-third of the peak period, with a maximum of 80,000 to 90,000 households.

Cao Mengde has a poem: There are righteous men in Guandong, and they raise troops to fight against all evil spirits; in the early days, they met with the League, and their hearts were in Xianyang... The armor produced lice and the people died, and the bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles; the people were born and left alone, and the thoughts were broken.

The war fire at the end of the Han Dynasty has not reached its peak, but the horrifying scenes in this poem created by Cao Mengde in the future have been vaguely presented to people.

Three carriages creaked on the loess road, and the drought affected the entire Central Plains, and Dongjun was not spared. The wild grass with extremely tenacious vitality was also weak and lost its strength. The earth was deserted and covered with cracks. Some white bones were faintly shining with dazzling light under the scorching sun.

"The strong Han and the strong Han Dynasty will always be destroyed by weak countries, and the Han Dynasty will be destroyed by strong countries. They are all buried under this dry and barren land..."

The power of the Han Dynasty was almost incomparable to the dynasties in later generations. Even during the Three Kingdoms period, the population of the Han people was greatly reduced, and Cao Mengde could only suppress the barbarians from the north with his own strength. After the collapse and division of the dynasties in later generations, the princes often surrendered to the barbarians in the north to gain greed, and even led the barbarians south. There were many emperors and bullshits.

Only the Han Dynasty, even if it collapsed, was famous throughout the world.

However, it is probably this hard bone that leads to the tragedy in the future.

Anyway, if you don’t accept me, I won’t accept you. If you beat the Han people to death, they will be extinct, so the Five Barbarians will invade China.

After fighting for more than a hundred years, he became tired. The Sima family became a turtle with its head shrink, and no longer had the ability to restore the prosperous Han Dynasty. They hid in the southeast and survived and left a bad reputation.

Zhao Yu held the carriage and looked at the desolate and desolate in front of him, and thoughts were full of thoughts in his heart.

A later Romance of the Three Kingdoms turned Cao Mengde into a thief. However, who knows where Cao Mengde is in?

He occupied the north alone and seemed to be powerful, but who had ever thought about the threats from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other barbarians in the north? It was said that Liu Bei had threats to the Southern Barbarians and Sun Quan had threats to the Shanyue, but whether it was the Southern Barbarians or Shanyue, it might be better than the Xianbei of the Shangxiongnus?!

In fact, Zhao Yu even speculated that after the Red Cliff, Cao Mengde did not continue to launch a large-scale war of going south, considering the threat of the northern barbarians. He must have heavy troops to suppress the north, but he cannot be transferred.

Puyang is in sight.

"Where has Lao Dian been?"

Zhao Yu was not very happy and asked lazy.

"I have entered the Puyang territory." Dian Wei replied: "Will you pass by a big river ahead? Do you want to go and see it?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he felt spirited: "You have to see."

The carriage stopped by the riverside, and Zhao Yu climbed up the river slope. At first glance, it was sparkling.

In later generations, the Yellow River was already a hanging river. That is, the altitude of the riverbed was higher than that of the land on both sides of the river. Because the accumulation of mud and sand washed down from the upper reaches over the years has caused such bad consequences. Therefore, once heavy floods occur, the lower reaches of the Yellow River will definitely be a country in the lower reaches.

But in this era, it is much better.

At least the riverbed of the Yellow River is not higher than the ground on both sides of the straits.

However, the turbid river water still indicates the irreversibility of all this.

The over-exploitation of Guanzhong by the Han people is also one of the important reasons for the turbidity of the Yellow River.

In fact, this is exactly the same as in the new era of later generations, when polluting the environment for economic development, there is nothing we can do about it.

During the heyday of the Han Dynasty, 60 million people were born. In such an era of low productivity, it was only possible to feed so many people through such means.

Zhao Yu squatted by the river, held up a handful of light yellow water, and looked at the river with thoughtful thoughts.

He suddenly said to Dian Wei who was standing beside him: "Old Dian, do you think I can make the Yellow River clear and prevent floods, okay?"

Dian Wei's eyes were like bronze bells: "Boss, I know you have some strange skills, but this is unlikely, right?"

"I'll ask you if you're okay?"

"Okay, of course, of course! Sure!" Dian Wei said firmly: "If you can make the Yellow River better, the people along the river will definitely be worshipped like a god!"

Zhao Yu nodded and stood up: "Let's go, go to Puyang."

The consideration of governing the Yellow River was not a whim. He supported Cao Mengde, but he would not raise his sleeves and help Cao Mengde kill him naked. He thought that was a big hit. A monk was not a killing machine.

On the contrary, products such as crop cultivation, steel forging, and even waterwheels, glass, and soap are more attractive to him now.

Transform history from all aspects, not just changing the soup but not changing the medicine. This is what Zhao Yu hopes he can accomplish.

Only by changing and turning it around from every corner can we cause fundamental turmoil in time and space and achieve our own goals. Instead of just letting Cao Mengde establish a dynasty, everything will be fine. This is just a superficial skill.

The governance and transformation of the Yellow River are also under Zhao Yu's plan.

If successful, the impact on time and space will never be smaller than that of the dynasty and the impact will be greater.

What's more, the transformation of the Yellow River is also part of the plan to support Cao Mengde. The south bank of the Yellow River is Cao Mengde's founding place and the foundation. It is related to Cao Mengde's great cause. If the transformation of the Yellow River can be completed and the improved crops cultivated in the Chaos Pearl Small World, this area will definitely become the granary of the world, and the energy source will continue to support Cao Mengde's battles in the south and north.

However, it is not an easy task to transform the Yellow River.

Even in the modern world two thousand years later, productivity is extremely developed, it cannot fundamentally change the Yellow River.

To achieve this goal, Zhao Yu must use immortal methods.

And now is not the time. Even if the immortals are used, it will not be a short time, and it also requires certain human and material resources to support it. This plan will not be implemented until Cao Mengde has gained a foothold in Dongjun.

Before dark, Zhao Yu and his team of three carriages finally arrived in Puyang.

The house is ready-made, and it was where Chen Gong settled when he came to Puyang before. Now it belongs to Zhao Yu.

But on the surface, Zhao Yu bought it with money.

"Low, do you know?"

When Wang Po took two maids to clean up the yard, Zhao Yu said to Dian Wei: "Before Meng De entered Puyang, you must be low-key. But you can't do nothing."

Dian Wei was confused.

Zhao Yu helped out and said, "How much did you bring this time?"

"Uh, oh, 300,000 yuan." Dian Wei reacted: "'Buy' this yard, spending 15,000 yuan, and there are still twenty...twenty..."

"Twenty-eighty-five." Zhao Yu looked at Dian Wei with his lips pursed: "From tomorrow, you will learn mathematics from me. If you can't learn it for half a month, I'll let you see it."

"Ah?" Dian Wei's rough face suddenly pulled down, as if he had lost his parents.

Zhao Yu snorted coldly: "I have never seen such a useless servant in your family."

Dian Wei remained silent.

"Okay, you can go to the market and find me a business manager who can do business immediately. If you can't find it, don't come back."

Dian Wei ran out in a row.

Zhao Yu exhaled and sat down: "Well, Xiaochun, bring me a palm-leaf fan."

The weather is indeed very hot, but it has nothing to do with Zhao Yu. His current state is already inseparable from the cold and heat. But he has to pretend to behave. On hot days, it is not decent without a palm fan.

Two maids, one is named Xiaochun, and the other is named Xiaoqiu, and the other is named Xiaoqiu, and the melon-shaped face. They are both pretty and fifteen years old.

"Here's here."

He screamed, Xiaochun ran over with a palm fan, his little face flushed.

Zhao Yu said: "Let Wang Po stop busy and make dinner first. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"OK."

Xiaochun left in a flash.

Zhao Yu has no airs and his family is very harmonious.

At least two maids were not afraid of him, and occasionally joked with laughter.

Zhao Yu didn't care. Such a girl movie was still in junior high school after two thousand years.

When Wang Po prepared dinner, Dian Wei came back on the meal time.

Foodies have foodies’ inspiration, and Dian Wei never missed a meal.

"Boss." Dian Wei scratched his forehead and quietly looked into the room, saying, "I have found three, which one do you want?"

Zhao Yu looked up and looked at the three people who were back with Dian Wei with a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

They all look ragged, but their temperament is still somewhat different from ordinary people.

"Tell me, what did you do before?"

In times of trouble, life is like grass. People who cannot survive either join the army, rebel, or sell themselves. The market is the place where people sell people. It is called inserting a bid to sell the first one, which means inserting a straw on your neck, indicating that you want to sell yourself.

Who wants to sell himself? But there is no way, I can't survive.

The three of them rushed to tell their origins and stories about their origins like a slap in the air.

People are asking for money but not asking for anything. To be honest, nowadays, if you can give a bite of food, some people will work hard. Therefore, people's business is not good. There are people who are willing to sell themselves for free if they yell.

So, it is not easy to meet a buyer.

All three of them know that they all hope to be bought by Zhao Yu.

The three of them look like they are in their thirties and forties, and they all have families. It is precisely because of their families that they have to sell themselves. Otherwise, they will not be able to support their wives and children.

They are all locals from Puyang, and they all do small business transactions. However, small business transactions cannot withstand the storms and are prone to collapse. Once they collapse, they will lose nothing.

Qiao Mao was not a good official at first. Before attacking Dong Zhuo, he needed recruitment, and recruitment required money and food, so the people in Puyang City suffered. Those powerful families were not easy to mess with, so Qiao Mao, like the three people in front of him, became the best targets for exploitation.
