Chapter 346 The Key Pieces

"It is precisely because of the permanence of the sky that we can master the seasons, the solar terms, and the seasons of farming. With the help of this knowledge, our farmers can produce more food. It is precisely because we have mastered these laws that I can You know, if you see stars all over the sky at night, tomorrow will be sunny, and vice versa, Yuan Gong, isn’t this the sky?”

Yuan Huang was speechless.

"Since we can predict tomorrow's weather, it means that there is a law in the sky. As long as we master this law, let alone stop it, at least we can avoid the harm caused by natural disasters, right? Why can we only predict the weather tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? , instead of trying to predict the weather in the next few years? Don't stick to the sunshine and rain every day, but try to find the climate change every year!
Yuan Gong, I have read all over the ancient books, and I found a law, a law of the sky, whenever the ancient books record drought, cold weather, summer rain and snow, it is the peak time for the northern barbarians to go south, on the contrary, when the weather is good, It is often when we launch a counterattack against the barbarians in the north. Have you ever wondered why this is? "

"The weather is cold, and the barbarians in the north have no water and grass to raise their livestock, so they have no food to eat, so they have to go south to plunder. When we encounter a catastrophe, we don't have enough food to support our soldiers, so it is difficult to resist. The weather is warm, so the barbarians in the north don't lack food, so they don't need to go south. And our dynasty will forcefully mobilize troops to retake the populated territory, that's how it is."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Yes! This is a law of heaven, don't you know, Mr. Yuan? Also, it is precisely because of the warm and humid climate, the growth of food and livestock, and the abundance of food, that people can have children. will continue to increase.

And once the weather turns cold and the food production drops sharply, the large population before will inevitably face the danger of food shortage. If the food is not enough to eat, people will starve to death, there will be refugees, and then the barbarians in the North will once again Going south to plunder, we are powerless to resist, right?In severe cases, the country will be destroyed.

For example, Jin people went south, Liao destroyed the country, Song lost the north; Mongol and Yuan went south, Jin destroyed the country, Song destroyed the country, these people lived well in the north, why did they have to go south?Just because of the prosperity of the Central Plains?We are all the same people, we have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, so why do we have to fight?
Because of the cold climate, their original residence could not survive. In order to survive, they had to go south to plunder food, because the large number of people they gave birth to during the warm period also faced the dilemma of having no food to eat.

At this moment, the advantages of the northern barbarians being strong and strong and all the people are soldiers are reflected, and we have no combat power and no organization due to the chaos caused by the lack of local food, as well as the lack of food at the border and the lack of food for the soldiers. If you collapse thousands of miles, there will be a disaster of destroying the country!Everything recorded in the history books just proved that what the last general thought was the truth, not speculation and speculation!
The disintegration of the Central Plains dynasties in the past dynasties was not just because the land annexation emperor was stupid, but also because the climate turned cold, and a large number of people in the Northland could not survive. They had no food to eat and had to rebel in order to survive. When the climate is warm, there are a large number of people. They need To eat, the weather has turned cold, and they still have to eat, but at this time there is not so much food. In order to survive, they have to rebel, not only because there is no land, but also because there is no land to grow food! "

Yuan Huang has been completely shocked, if it is about the Four Books and Five Classics, ten Xiao Ruxun tied together is not his opponent, if it is about the current climate changes, ten Yuan Huang tied together is not Xiao Ruxun's opponent.

So Yuan Huang swallowed, and spoke with difficulty.

"So...Ji Xin, you mean, right now, we are experiencing a sudden cold weather?"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"The sky is so big, it is impossible for the temperature to turn cold suddenly, but it is certain that it will continue to turn cold. You can think about it, Mr. Yuan. I don't know if you have read those historical books. Those historical books record that the pre-Qin period, the Shang and Zhou dynasties , the Central Plains also has elephants, and merchants also have elephant soldiers, but now you see, only these sweltering places have elephant soldiers, and elephants can only survive in these places. The land is the same, it is full of dense forests, and the climate is hot and humid, but now?"

Yuan Huang suddenly realized, and slapped the table: "So it is so! It is so! So it is so! 2000 years ago, the Central Plains was the same as the current Nanman land, a sultry place! But later the climate changed, and the Central Plains became What it looks like now! The Central Plains back then was much hotter than the Central Plains now!"

"Yes! That's right! There are records in the pre-Han period that peach blossoms bloom in March in the land of Luoyang, and Chang'an is surrounded by eight waters, which means that in the pre-Han period, the land of Shaanxi was also warm, and peach blossoms could grow in March In the northern part of China, Shaanxi, which is short of water, is surrounded by eight waters, which means that at that time, the climate in Shaanxi was much warmer than it is now, and only when it is warm enough will there be enough water! After more than a hundred years, summer rain and snow, six Yue Feishuang, that was not a big injustice, it was because the weather was so cold that it would snow in summer, how could it be possible to grow food under such circumstances?

It is precisely because of such climate changes that the subsequent events were caused. The Hu people went south, the Jin Dynasty collapsed, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were separated for hundreds of years, and they were not unified until the Sui Dynasty. Yuan Gong, it may be said that the land was merged, the emperor was fatuous, Merchant hoarding, tyrants bullying ordinary people, government expropriation, these are like gunpowder, while natural disasters are like sparks, a spark falls, instantly igniting the gunpowder all over China. "

The more Yuan Huang thought about it, the more he felt that what Xiao Ruxun said was very reasonable, and when he thought about the present, he suddenly took a deep breath.

"Looking at today's season, Ji Xin, what do you mean to say that today's Daming has reached this threshold?"

"It's hovering at the pass, and it hasn't fully entered yet, so there is still a glimmer of life."

Yuan Huang heaved a sigh of relief, he thought it was Daming's hope.

In fact, Xiao Ruxun thought so too.

But at this moment, none of them expected whether the glimmer of life that Xiao Ruxun mentioned belonged to Daming, or if it belonged to the entire Han nation, not Daming.

Up until this moment, Xiao Ruxun had no idea of ​​rebellion. He wanted to inject new blood and vitality into Daming in tropical areas that would not be seriously affected by the Little Ice Age, and use the power of commerce and the power of the navy to give Daming new life. It was the way he found to save the country, using a vital chess piece to revitalize a game of chess, and Myanmar and Siam belong to this key chess piece.
