Chapter 756 Hidden History
Li Yuanfeng thought it was funny.
As expected, as long as you tell the truth, no one will take it seriously.
On the contrary, when he told lies, everyone listened with great interest...
The wisdom of mortals is limited to this.
The reason why he talked so much with this young man was just because he knew that the other person stayed in this weird place for a long time.
He might even be the first ones to come in and know a lot of things.
As for how to know this, he naturally has his own way.
Of course, those mysterious powers were not used.
After all, this place is too weird. How could a scheming person like him use those skills rashly to highlight his specialness?
As for saying he is the emperor, that doesn't matter, because no one will believe it.
Not even here, even if you put it outside, not many people would believe it.
When people live for too long, they can’t help but want to recall the past.
So he would occasionally let himself go, but unfortunately no one believed him and couldn't pretend...
After he let himself go, he still had to get down to business.
So he followed Han Xu's words, shook his head and smiled: "Young man is really smart. I did play the role of the emperor on the set, but it's a pity that my performance was poor, and that's why I ended up here. In fact, I did it on purpose, because I guessed that In a script, the emperor was about to fall into the water and be treated..."
"As expected," Han Xu snorted, but there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
For a moment just now, he really thought that the person was the rumored missing person, but it was not the deceased Yuan Feng Emperor.
If it was really that legendary figure, he would be saved.
His research and understanding of that emperor was very, very in-depth.
The other side is determined to make progress and is not bound by the thousand-year land strategy.
The other party was the first to point out that population increase is not a burden. As long as the population is transferred overseas, the dilemma of "sons beget grandchildren, grandsons beget children, but the land does not increase" can be solved.
But this only solution was fully attacked by the scholar-bureaucrats, who called him a tyrant, alienating other people's flesh and blood, and abandoning his people, which is extremely unkind...
As for this The answer, in Han Xu's opinion, is why he was attacked in this way. There are three reasons.
The first is to dig into the roots of scholar-bureaucrats. They can dominate and prosper by relying on the personal dependence relationship established on the land.
People have been moved overseas, so how can they rely on labor competition and involution to maintain their 50% or even 70% to 80% of the highland rent?
How to enjoy countless cheap human services, beautiful slaves, carriage drivers, thousands of slaves...
Secondly, feudal literati instinctively averse to risks, changes, and things they cannot control. sea.
They manage people, not help them. Naturally, it is better to do less than to do more.
It is best for everyone to stay on the land honestly and remain unchanged for a hundred years.
On land, the population is still under control. How do you manage it when you get to the sea?
If the other party seizes control overseas and initiates a revolt, wouldn't that mean you will lose your life?
Thirdly, those scholar-bureaucrats who rely on maritime trade will not be happy if the maritime ban is lifted, because that will create countless competitors.
It may seem like a simple overseas colonial strategy, but in fact, in order to be launched, it must be completely changed from bottom to top.
In order to solve these three points, Emperor Yuanfeng specially ordered a kind of "Hai Jinshi" after his rule was stable.
Because only one kind of people will support him, that is, children from poor families who originally had nothing.
For them, no matter what method, as long as they can win the Jinshi, it is a good method.
The other party issued an edict: Anyone who has experience in colonizing overseas and reclaiming overseas land, he and his family members can be given priority in the imperial examination. The more reclamation, the more points will be awarded.
This is extra points for the college entrance examination. As soon as the big drive is opened, everyone naturally competes for the first place.
The genuine Jinshi often disparaged these Hai Jinshi as "bandit Jinshi" and also launched a powerful counterattack.
This emperor fell into the water five times in his life, was assassinated by popular religious uprisings three times, and was poisoned six times in the harem...
Fortunately, he was shrewd enough to avoid them one by one. If it were another emperor, he would have died. undoubtedly.
Fortunately, the Jinshi who came from overseas colonization finally formed a new force in the DPRK, relying on the continuous supply of overseas resources.
Only in this way did the foundation of Emperor Yuanfeng's rule become stable.
This laid the foundation for his subsequent reforms.
If you look at it from the perspective of a feudal emperor, he made these reforms just to make trouble and make fun of the throne.
There were some emperors in history who wanted to open up sea territories, but they were all about showing off their power and promoting their achievements, and were rarely linked to actual interests. So within a few decades, the finances declined and then fell into disrepair.
At most, it is simply to seek trade benefits, and will never allow a large-scale exodus of the population.
But this Emperor Yuan Feng broke this law, which naturally caused many historians to study it.
But what most people don't know is that Emperor Yuan Feng is actually marching towards the alien world.
Han Xu spent a lot of money to learn this.
In the era of the feudal dynasty, the aliens almost monopolized all alien species. Even the rich emperor could not even imagine it.
It's very simple. The feudal dynasty had low productivity, weak control, and poor weapons.
Relying on swords, guns, sticks, bows and stones, how to deal with those aliens who are hiding their whereabouts and mastering illusion combat?
There are sieves and loopholes everywhere.
A alien occupies a hilltop, and hundreds of thousands of troops are helpless. Logistics and food alone can make them collapse.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Sovereign Society wants to return to that era.
The last emperor seemed to have reached a certain condition with the alien world and handed over the world to the newly established Yamen Dengxian Division, which later became the Inspection Division.
This laid the prototype of modern Dongzhou.
Han Xu thought about the piles of old papers he had studied and sighed deeply.
At this time, Li Yuanfeng saw that he had woken up and asked again: "Brother, it feels like you have been here for a long time?"
"How can you see that?" Han Xu closed his eyes. , leaning against the tree behind him, ready to take a nap.
"It's very simple. When those supervisors cracked the whip, you were not as angry as others, but got used to it and endured it." Li Yuanfeng said confidently.
Ordinary people can't see this little difference, and even many aliens can't do it.
Only he, an old guy who has been the emperor for a long time and is used to seeing the world, can spot it at a glance.
"You are indeed an actor, you are an experienced actor, right?" Han Xu opened his eyes and nodded.
There is nothing that cannot be said. After all, many people in the management know about this matter and it is not absolutely confidential.
"I don't know when did you come in? Can you tell me a little bit about it so that I can know more about it so that I don't have to die if I break a taboo." Li Yuanfeng looked sincere and looked honest. expression.
This was once the exclusive expression of a minister who was most loyal to him.
It's a pity that that guy, when his house was confiscated later, it was found that he had more than 200,000 acres of land, known as "Xu Ban City", and the three times he fell into the water were related to this guy. He deserved to be beheaded, and the whole family was exiled to an overseas place with the highest death rate.
Han Xu had no choice but to briefly describe his experience.
Of course, the fact that he was the first to enter should not be mentioned, because after all, it might attract ridicule.
…………
When Han Xu was telling about the past, a group of people appeared dozens of miles outside the town, in a lush green mountain forest.
Wen Rensheng glanced at everyone and saw that everyone came in using puppets.
Just from the looks of it, there are a few people whose faces are not very good-looking. Maybe they are fainting?
"Rest for a while, and then go out for reconnaissance."
He simply gave the order.
Of course the investigator had already made arrangements, it was Ouyang Tian.
Ouyang Tian nodded when he heard this, turned into a little spider, and without much rest, he chose a direction and walked away.
As it walks, it weaves a net. The fine mesh drags on the ground and is invisible to the naked eye.
This is the puppet spider's own skill - cobweb sensing.
Through the spider web, Ouyang Tian can grasp a lot of information about the places he passes through, which is equivalent to adding eyes to the map.
He needs to perform well so that he can show off to Saya when he goes back.
No, it's about showing your value as a man.
He had never thought of what motivation a perfect match could bring to him.
Now that he thinks about it, he feels that his previous eating, drinking and having fun are completely meaningless!
Those are low-level interests that only lower beings can indulge in. After meeting Saya, he gradually changed his mind and decided to become a higher-level being and only pursue high-level interests...
Saya The change in him was comparable to the moment he obtained the alien species and became a mutant.
