Chapter 207 to Mayi
"I am considered a man in the world now, right?" Cheng Chuliang still doesn't understand very well what the man in the world represents in this era, man in the world is not a good word, it means that you are a wandering person. Chinese people pay attention to root culture. In the minds of Chinese people, wandering people are definitely the most tragic group of people in the world.
"You are still far from that. People in the world. I am not considered a person in the world. How could you be considered a person? Also, a little brat, you'd better give up the idea of becoming a person in the world. Otherwise, your father and father-in-law will deal with you to death. You are a child of a noble family. Not like me." Song Bo pointed himself with his hand.
"You? No? Brother-in-law, you are a child of a noble family, right? Then why are you half a person in the world? Your old man hasn't dealt with you? It seems that every time he sees the old man in your family, he always has a stern face. No matter how you look at it, he is not a good person to talk to!"
"Ah, I ran away from home ten years ago. What you know is that our family has been a merchant since the day when there were people. The Shang survivors had no home more than two thousand years ago. You are different from us." Song Bo didn't know why he said that. In fact, he himself didn't believe this reason. The Shang survivors were such a good excuse. I have to say that this is a good topic in Chinese history. Because after the Zhou Dynasty won the world, they tried their best to slander it. The Shang monarch King Shou (King Zhou?) said nothing. Although there are only a few things coming and going, it is an indisputable fact that the Shang survivors were discriminated against. Even so, merchants were discriminated against.
It is said that most of the earliest merchants were survivors of the merchants, so merchants were discriminated against in ancient times (guessment, purely personal speculation)?
"Oh. The Shang clan's survivor? It's true! I remember seeing the clan emblem of the Song clan in Shangqiu, which seemed to be a royal family. But do you really believe in those? Every good thing that writes books." Cheng Chuliang was very famous in later generations. He was like an angry young man in front of Song Bo.
"Haha, too, none of those who write books are good things, they are all bastards." Song Bo was very moved. In fact, he felt this feeling in the past few days. Because when he was reading books, he found a problem, that is, writing pure fantasy of Jiu Astronomy novels or comics.
"Look, do you think so, too?"
"Uh, too, is it almost here? I think Mayi will not be too far away, right?" Song Bo really didn't want to get involved in this issue and could only find a better excuse. That's right, the border of Song Bo and his friends is Mayi, which is the modern Shuo County of Shanxi. If you go further north, you will be the one you are talking about.
No one can tell clearly about the earliest origin of the Turks, but what is certain is that this race should be a mixed race, with the blood of the Huns and the Seeds. The Huns are very simple, the ancient North Asian nomadic peoples, and the Seeds are said to be people from the Western Aral Sea. These nomadic peoples fought eastward and westward, and after defeating Rouran, they inevitably rose. After merging with the local nomadic peoples in North Asia, the Turks became truly powerful. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, the Turks unified North Asia and actually became the largest empire in the world at that time.
The second generation of the Sui Dynasty died, followed by the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which was not well-known but very terrifying. There were not many descriptions of this chaos, and many people did not care much about it. There were not many people who knew it. However, this chaos was one of the most terrifying chaos in the world. This chaos was only a few more than ten years, but there were almost 30 million people who died because of this chaos. According to records, there were nine million households in China at the end of the year. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were less than two million households left (anotherwise, 200,000 households). There were only 30 million deaths in a household with five people (not counting the escape or being captured).
In this chaos, the Central Plains Empire lost not only its population, but also its territory. Half of the chassis of the Sui Dynasty was lost. Dingxiang County, the Western Regions and other areas in the north of the empire were all occupied by the Turks. As far as Song Bo knew, the purpose of this war was to regain Dingxiang County. Therefore, in the northern border of the empire, there would definitely be sufficient equipment and food. So Song Bo led his team to Mayi. If he wins this time, the Cheng family's Anxi business will have.
"Yes, it seems that it has really arrived? This Mayi is really messy. Where is it? The wind blows and dust is flying!!" At this time, Mayi City was really not a good place. Although the war had been stopped for a long time, the city here still gave people a feeling of dilapidation.
"It's the wind blowing and clouds flying in the west, right? Why don't you study hard? Really," Song Bo was very angry. His brother-in-law was so ignorant.
"Of course it's dust flying. Look, aren't it dust all over the place?" Cheng Chuliang pointed to the distance, and the slightly gray-black land, and the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty were flying. In addition, the wars during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the woods in the north had begun to disappear in large quantities. The trees in Mayi had almost disappeared. But there were a lot of people coming and going, so a lot of smoke and dust were flying everywhere.
"That's true, but you guys are a bit talented. Of course, they are much worse than me, Song Da Talent, wow." Song Bo laughed arrogantly. That way, he was simply some idiots in cartoons (Mori Kogoro?).
"You? Talent?" Chung Chuliang didn't know what to say. Song Bo's appearance was really a shortcoming. "Cheng Yin, go to the front station, go to Mayi, and free up the warehouse in the shop." Change the topic, absolutely change the topic and then directly ignore Song Bo's performance.
"Why? Don't believe me? Tell, I'm a great hero Song Bo who shocked Chang'an." Song Bo was still thinking about the successful fu he had when he was two years ago.
"Yes, a fu shocked Chang'an, but on the third day, no one knew that the thing was called fu. Haha. Haha." Cheng Chuliang thought of this and found it funny. It was not easy to become famous in Chang'an. Even at the beginning of the year, Song Bo had so many things, both literary and martial. In the end, not many people knew him. Not to mention knowing him, not many people knew him, except for those who were telling books.
Song Bo has only realized now that when he read time travel novels, he found those awesome characters, and they always became famous in the world with just one stroke. However, Song Bo even showed his best murder skills, and not many people could remember him.
