Chapter 17 A History of Convergence
It's miserable for the corpse cremator, and it's even worse for the homeless camp.
News of the riots in the homeless camp spread throughout the dock early in the morning, and also brought the latest news.
The situation was even worse than Qin He estimated. The entire refugee camp ceased to exist, not even one out of ten refugees survived, and the rest collapsed.
The officers and soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties.
The emperor issued an order to appease the people, but under the operation of corrupt and incompetent bureaucracy, it ended in a tragedy of losing face.
People at the pier had mixed reactions, each with their own opinions.
Qiao Sanhuang, who sells sesame cakes on the street, clapped his hands and applauded: "Good kill. Why do these country folk come to Kyoto? Kyoto belongs to Kyoto people."
Grandma Huang, who sells vegetables, shook her head and said, "What a sin."
The boatmen at the noodle stall looked happy, because without the refugees, their wages might go up.
Liu Kuaizui of the teahouse prepared a new storyteller before dawn - "The Secret of the Riots in the Refugee Camp", and planned to divide it into five chapters and tell it twenty times.
But most people have no time to pay too much attention to this matter, because the pressure of life has almost drained all their strength. A few complaints and curses are over.
There are even many people who are completely indifferent, such as Yang Qiaoer, who sells tofu noodles.
Qin He used his ears to hear the voices of everyone within a hundred steps. Except for Yao Qiao'er, he never made a sound except to collect money.
Who is Yang Qiaoer?
It was Xu Changshou who came to help people grind tofu in the middle of the night and failed to "make friends". Instead, he was beaten out by the tofu beauty.
Yang Qiaoer was born into a fisherman's family. Although she has given birth, her figure is exquisite, with all the bulges that should be raised. She is full of honey and her charm is still there.
Ordinarily, someone with this look should marry into a good family and not have to make a living in public.
But Yang Qiaoer has been living on the water since she was a child and has never tied her feet. She has a pair of big feet and it is difficult to get into a wealthy family. She is well-matched and has no choice but to marry Mo Dou Fu Chu Lao San.
Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. Yang Qiaoer started a tofu business with her husband Chu Laosan. Although it was hard work, it was still better than the wind and rain on the water.
But the good times didn't last long. Chu Laosan might have been too excited about activities at night, so he farted without even lifting it up, leaving a baby girl in Yang Qiaoer's belly.
Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong. Yang Qiaoer has to shoulder the burden of raising a daughter. Her life is difficult but not bad. Even with her charming appearance, she will inevitably attract the prying eyes of some lustful people.
For example...Xu Changshou was sitting across from Qin He.
This guy stared at Yang Qiao'er with his eyes straight, and murmured soft tofu brains in his mouth. There was no need to guess in his mind, it was full of filth, and he was gasping for air.
Qin He looked at Yang Qiaoer and the little lolita who was almost exactly the same as her, and had the urge to slam the tofu bowl on this guy's forehead.
People don't have tails. If they did, it wouldn't look too much like them.
Out of sight, out of mind, Qin He lowered his head and took a bite of tofu curd, which was sweetened with honey.
The white flowers reminded Qin He of the leprosy that was shot in the head by the refugees, and he didn't even notice his appetite getting worse.
Sure enough, corpses will become metamorphosed if exposed to them too much.
After eating a bowl of tofu curd and a bowl of sour bean juice, Xu Changshou left the tofu stall still unfinished after Yang Qiaoer's stall was closed.
Qin He wanted to leave but couldn't, so he could only accompany him. After all, it was Xu Changshou's treat, and a bowl of licking tofu with honey was worth thirty copper coins.
"My lord, your breath seems a little restless."
Walking on the street, Qin He reminded in a low voice that he felt something was wrong with Xu Changshou, his face was red and his breath was messy.
Xu Changshou was stunned for a moment and said: "Hiss... what you said seems to be that I have been feeling a fire under my navel these past few days. It's burning so hard. I don't know what's going on."
"Maybe... I stayed up too late, why don't I see the doctor?" Qin He was not sure either.
Xu Changshou felt that it made sense and agreed.
After paying the money, Xu Changshou went to the pharmacy, and Qin He walked back leisurely.
The scenery of the Grand Canal is still beautiful, and the deaths of tens of thousands of people in the refugee camps have not had any impact on the place. The water is rippling with blue waves, and boats are coming and going, making it very lively.
Since the development of the canal in the Yu Dynasty, no matter how poor people's livelihood has been throughout the ages, it will not affect this golden waterway that goes from south to north unless the Grand Canal is cut off.
If that's the case, I'm afraid the ruling dynasty will have to change their surname.
The general trend of this time and space is basically the same as that of Qin He's previous life, but there are many differences in the details.
Let’s talk about the dynasties first. In the previous life they were Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming, but in this life they are Qian, Han, Yu, Song, Rong and Li.
Qian, Han, and Yu basically correspond to the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties when the Upper East was the most powerful, and the culture, system, and historical evolution are also similar.
In the previous life, the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms and ended the chaos of the Warring States Period. Here, the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Thirteen Kingdoms, ended the enfeoffment and opened up the system of counties and counties, and there was also the beginning of a great unification like Che Tonggui Shu Tongwen.
But the difference is also very big. For example, Qin only existed for thirteen years after its unification, while Qian actually existed for more than two hundred years.
It is a little pity that the Qian Dynasty has been suppressed by the nomads in the north, and the decline was barely restored by relying on the Great Wall. The construction of the Great Wall is so spectacular, just like this canal in front of you.
The canal in the previous life was just a river, but this place wished it was a river. At a glance, the canal on the other side was about as small as a paper boat.
After the Qian Dynasty came the Han Dynasty, which is quite similar. Even the names are the same. They are also divided into the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. The country is longer, with a total of seven or eight hundred years. It is a fierce battle to fight the nomadic people in the north. The races of the grasslands are all Changed it several times.
Maybe it was because the Han Dynasty had been strong for too long, and the subsequent Yu Dynasty, which corresponded to the Tang Dynasty, was a little less interesting, but it was still pretty good, especially in terms of cultural achievements. Guo Zuo was more than five hundred years old.
Then there is the Song Dynasty with the same name.
They were suppressed by the rising Rong tribe in the north. They persisted in the north for less than a hundred years before crossing the Yangtze River south and settling in Jinling.
It is worth mentioning that the Southern Song Dynasty actually survived for three hundred years and was not annihilated by the Rong people. Instead, the Rong people were forced to retreat to the grasslands. At the worst time, they retreated to Ryukyu. They were almost destroyed several times and then came back again. , he has an invincible Xiaoqiang spirit.
It was really destroyed at the hands of the current Dali Dynasty.
Different from the Ming Dynasty, the founder of the Li Dynasty was not a beggar, but a Rong Han general who rebelled. After gradually unifying the north, he raised the banner of the Han people and went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and then established the Li Dynasty.
Therefore, the Li Dynasty did not win the country righteously. Instead, it had a history of master-slave relationship with the Rong people that could not be washed away no matter how hard it was.
Therefore, in order to prove their legitimacy and completely distance themselves from the relationship with the Rong people, the Dali Dynasty made nearly a hundred expeditions to the north of the Great Wall after the founding of the dynasty, and fought with the nomadic Rong people for nearly three hundred years. At the same time, they moved the capital and raised the " The banner of "The Emperor Guards the Country".
After that, history converged again. The Dali Dynasty and the Rong tribe both exhausted their energy in the three-hundred-year-long fighting, which gave an opportunity for the rise of the "Dilu", a fishing and hunting tribe in Liao.
In recent years, the eight armies of the Dilu have been aggressively expanding their battles and winning streaks. The Rong tribe was forced to move westward, and the Dali Dynasty was also retreating steadily. It took more than two hundred years to seize the three states of Liaodong from the Rong tribe. In ten years,
Before the time was up, they were all lost to Di Lu. They lost their troops and generals, and hunkered down south of the Great Wall, not daring to take the lead.
In addition, the abnormal climate of the Little Ice Age caused frequent rebellions among the refugees in the Central Plains. The Dali Dynasty, which had persisted for nearly four hundred years, was repeatedly torn apart by Dilu and rebellions, and was on the verge of collapse.
