Chapter 1232 Reasoning on the Northwest

No matter how beautiful the scenery on the road is, it will seem a little boring after walking for a long time. Since crossing Yishui, everyone's interest has obviously weakened a lot, of course, it has nothing to do with the desolation of the northwest. The slowest recovery from the war was in the northwest, which was originally a bitter cold land, and after the great war, the number of people in the northwest provinces decreased by almost eighty.

Walking on this desolate land, sometimes dozens of miles or hundreds of miles out, I can't see a single person.

The climate here has also warmed a lot, although it is not as good as the Central Plains Jiangnan, but it is a rare good scene in the northwest provinces of the year, along the dusty official road carriage for a while, occasionally you can see small crops growing tenaciously. It's like the human heart, as long as there is hope, it will continue to persevere.

Fang Xie kept notes along the way, thinking about how to improve the lives of the people in the northwest.

Then Fang Xie suddenly thought of something.

This place is far more desolate and tired than the Central Plains, and even if the climate is good, the crops may not grow very well. He stopped the carriage, crouched on the ground, dug some dirt with his hands, and looked at it carefully, and it was difficult to see anything with the naked eye. But there was an idea in Fang Jie's heart that came out of nowhere, something he had never considered before.

"What are you thinking?"

Xiang Qingniu squatted next to him and asked.

"I'm wondering why the Northwest is so tired."

"War."

Xiang Qingniu gave a very casual answer.

But this ordinary and extremely ordinary answer made Fang Jie's mind suddenly brighten. The idea that popped up just now seems to have been confirmed.

"I think I can guess a little."

Xiang Qingniu said: "Don't sell Guanzi, hurry up." ”

Fang Xie and they returned to the carriage, and in the northwest, where water resources were extremely scarce, they also began to calculate, even if they were great cultivators, water was still an indispensable thing. After crossing the Yishui, I walked according to the standard map of the Great Sui, picking up the route with the most water sources, but even so, basically the number of times I peed every day was reduced a lot.

"You know, that Mr. Nine from the Moon Shadow Hall relied on this thing to make waves."

Fang Xie took out the thing that could take people through the void and said: "This thing is a product left over from the demise of the last civilization a long, long time ago, according to the normal development trajectory, it is an extremely long process for people to reappear after they have perished, it will take tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years and millions of years. It's a terrible number, scary enough to turn anything left over from the previous civilization to ashes. ”

Although Xiang Qingniu didn't understand Fang Jie's words, he still barely understood: "I know, it's like an ancient tomb, after a long enough time, open it and see that there is only a pile of bone powder left inside." ”

Fang Xie snorted: "However, now this thing is not only very well preserved, but also usable." This shows that after the demise of the last civilization and the resumption of human domination of the world, the time is not very long, at least not as long as 10,000 years. In other words, there may not have been extinction of humanity at that time, but there were very few survivors. ”

"These people are most likely those backward peoples who live in the most remote places."

Fang explained: "The war may not have affected these places, and those terrible weapons that can destroy the world have not killed everyone. But it destroyed the progress of civilization, and even those who survived had to face a barren world. So, they can only develop from scratch. And these backward peoples themselves are underdeveloped, and after a few generations, they have no choice but to return to the way of existence explored by human beings. ”

Xiang Qingniu thought for a while and said very seriously: "Is it okay for you to say a simple point?" ”

Fang Xie smiled and continued: "These surviving people have spent thousands of years, maybe three thousand years, or five thousand years, to make human beings gradually develop from the most primitive state of life to today's state of life. ”

"What does this have to do with the Northwest fatigue?"

Xiang Qingniu asked.

Fang explained: "There is nothing too directly related, but it has to do with the general environment. This place in the northwest, such an environment, if it were an era of extremely developed civilization, this place may have only one function...... Real yàn weapons. This place may be hiding a lot of extremely large institutions of real yàn weapons, which are used to develop those terrifying things that can destroy the world. So ......"

Xiang Qingniu suddenly understood: "So, once a war starts, this place will be the first place for the hostile side to strike." ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Because there are a large number of such institutions and facilities here, the enemy will definitely strike at the place where that kind of terrifying weapon can be launched first. Let's call it a weapon base, and generally weapons of this power have to be developed in uninhabited places. So, at the beginning of the war, the enemy's weapons of terror began to pour down on this place. ”

Xiang Qingniu said: "Then the environment in this place has been changed even worse? ”

Fang Xie nodded: "That's pretty much what it means, but any weapon of that kind of power naturally relies on a simple explosion, but a way to destroy the ecological environment." It's already a tired and desolate place, and with a large number of those weapons exploding here, the northwest may be a barren place for a long time. ”

"After hundreds of years and thousands of years, the influence on this place has gradually weakened. However, it is obviously impossible to become a fertile field. ”

This is a summary of the solution.

"It's horrible!"

Xiang Qingniu sighed and said, "I feel terrible when I think about it...... That's a very different way of developing now, and people nowadays want to be a practitioner that everyone admires, and just by being a practitioner, they can change their lives. But the people of that era were a group of ordinary people who dominated the world. It's just that those ordinary people have in their hands this kind of weapon that is far more terrifying than any great cultivator's full blow, and it can even reach a precise attack that can be hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, or even tens of thousands of miles away. ”

"It's horrible."

Xiang Qingniu shuddered: "If it is still that way of development, maybe the enemy will throw a terrifying weapon tens of thousands of miles away from us, and we will die so inexplicably." ”

"People are such a strange thing."

Fang Xie sighed: "In that way, human beings have developed weapons that can change nature, resist nature, and even destroy the great freedom. But after the way of development has been changed, people have been able to have another kind of vigorous development by studying their own potential...... Practice. ”

Xiang Qingniu said: "When you say this, people are indeed the most awesome people." ”

Fang Xie smiled: "Perhaps, there are other potentials in the human body that have not been developed. ”

……

……

The official roads in the northwest were originally built according to the standards of the Great Sui, but because of the war and lack of people for many years, many official roads have become potholes. Without the maintenance of the local government institutions, even the strongest roads will gradually be destroyed by the gale force in the northwest.

As the carriage began to move, it began to become unsteady.

Xiang Qingniu rubbed his buttocks and complained: "Actually, this kind of place can be completely abandoned, and in order to keep this buffer zone, the Great Sui spent countless amounts of money and food every year. But even so, the people of the Northwest Province live absolutely without a copper coin relationship with the four words "comfortable and solid". If you want me to say, no one is obliged to fall victim to the interests of the state here, and in the future, after you become emperor, will you consider completely abolishing this place? ”

Fang Xie nodded: "There is indeed no need for immigrants to come here and spend a lot of money to support the people, rather than spending all the money and food here, it is better to use it elsewhere." When I turn around and am idle, I will let Song regret organizing the people of the Northwest Provinces to withdraw to the east of Yishui. After the war, the number of civilians suffered greatly. Even Gangnam, which was not greatly affected by the war, had a decrease in population. Therefore, it is not a problem to integrate the remaining people in the northwest into the east of Yishui. ”

"But ......"

Wu Yiyi said: "This involves the problem of the location of the country, when Fan Gu was set up as a border city and sent 800 border troops to defend it. Fan Gu is the country...... If everyone in the northwest is withdrawn, then the country will become the first line of Yishui. For the territory of the empire, it was actually reduced by a large part. ”

"Nobody wants this place."

Fang Xie thought for a while and said, "This place in the northwest is just a symbol. It would be nice to go back and let the garrison rotate and garrison, so that the people don't have to stay. However, this kind of garrison is garrisoned, the supply line is too long, and the huge amount of materials consumed is also an unbearable number. ”

Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and then said, "It's better to let the Northern Barbarian come over." ”

He pointed to the north and said, "Although most of the barbarians have migrated to the grassland, they are fighting for territory with the Mengyuan people. But there are many barbarians who are not accustomed to the life of the steppe, and after the establishment of the country in the future, these barbarians must be subdued. When the time comes, force them to be vassals, and then let the barbarian team be stored according to our team system. Promise them some benefits, and give them the northwest. ”

Fang Xie didn't speak, noncommittal.

Although this place in the northwest is tired, it is also a place of recuperation.

"Let's talk about that later...... Let's talk about Fan Gucheng first. ”

Fang explained: "I suspect now that the underground palace under Fangu City is one of the weapon bases mentioned before. Because it is hidden deep underground, it is protected from damage. And for some reason the place is so sealed that the contents are even usable. The more I wondered, the better it was, what was out there. ”

"I'm starting to get curious, too."

Xiang Qingniu was eager to try: "You said that it is possible, I found a closed box, you open it, I will rely on it...... It's a great beauty who is still alive thousands of years ago. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Then I'll let you have multiple concubines...... Iron guy's, it's definitely cool. ”

Xiang Qingniu thought about it and shuddered: "Forget it, clip it for me again!" ”
