    Chapter 1,232 Reasoning about the Northwest No matter how beautiful the scenery is on the road, it will become a bit boring after walking for a long time.  After crossing the Yishui River, everyone's interest in traveling has obviously weakened a lot. Of course, it has something to do with the desolation of the northwest.  The slowest place to recover from the war was the northwest, which was originally a bitter cold land. After the war and chaos, the number of people in the northwest was reduced by almost 80%.  Walking on this desolate land, sometimes you can go dozens or hundreds of miles without seeing a single person.  The climate here has also become a lot warmer. Although it is not as good as the southern part of the Central Plains, it is a rare good time of the year in the northwest roads. If you run along the dusty official road for a while, you can occasionally see small patches of crops.  Growing tenaciously.  Just like the human heart, as long as there is hope, it will continue to persevere.  Fang Jie took notes along the way, thinking about how to improve the lives of people in the northwest.  Then Fang Jie suddenly thought of something.  This place is far more desolate and exhausted than the Central Plains. Even if the climate is very good, crops may not grow well.  He stopped the carriage, squatted on the ground, dug some soil with his hands, and looked carefully. It was difficult to see anything with the naked eye.  But Fang Jie had an idea in his mind that popped up unexpectedly and naturally. It was something he had never considered before.  "What are you thinking about?" Xiang Qingniu asked squatting next to him.  "I was wondering why the northwest is so exhausted." "It's a war." Xiang Qingniu gave a very casual answer.  "But this extremely ordinary answer made Fang Jie's mind suddenly brighten.  The idea that suddenly popped up just now seems to have been confirmed.  "I think I can probably guess something." Xiang Qingniu said: "Don't be too pretentious, just tell me quickly." Fang Jie and the others returned to the carriage. In the northwest where water resources are extremely scarce, they began to make calculations. Even if they  He is a great practitioner, but water is still an indispensable thing.  After crossing the Yishui River, I walked according to the Sui Dynasty's standard map, picking the route with the most water sources. But even so, the number of peeings every day was basically reduced a lot.  "You know, Mr. Jiu of Yueyingtang relied on this thing to make waves." Fang Jie took out the thing that could take people through the void and said, "This thing is a product left behind when the previous civilization died a long, long time ago. According to the  According to the normal development trajectory, the reappearance of people after their demise is an extremely long process, which may take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. This is a very scary number, scary enough to make the previous civilization.  Anything left behind becomes ashes. "Although Xiang Qingniu didn't understand Fang's words very well, he still managed to understand: "I know, it's like an ancient tomb. After enough time, you open it and see what's left inside.  A pile of bone powder." Fang Jie sighed: "However, not only is this thing well preserved, but it is also still usable. This shows that it was not that long after the demise of the previous civilization that humans regained control of the world.  At least not as long as 10,000 years. In other words, maybe human beings were not extinct at that time, but there were very few people who survived. "These people are most likely backward ethnic groups living in the most remote places.  " Fang Jie said: "The war may not have affected these places, and those terrible weapons that can destroy the world have not killed everyone, but they have destroyed the progress of civilization, and even those who survived have to face a desolation.  The world. Therefore, they can only develop from scratch, and these backward peoples themselves are not developed, and they have no choice but to return to the way of survival of human exploration after a few generations." Xiang Qingniu thought for a while and said seriously:  "Can you speak more plainly?" Fang Jie smiled and continued: "These surviving people have spent thousands of years, maybe three thousand or five thousand years, to transform human beings from the most primitive living conditions.  It has gradually developed into today's living conditions. "What does this have to do with the exhaustion of the northwest?" Xiang Qingniu asked.  Fang Jie said: "There is no direct relationship, but it is related to the general environment. This place in the northwest, with such an environment, in an era of extremely developed civilization, the role of this place may only bean experimental weapon. This place  There may be institutions hiding many extremely large experimental weapons, used to develop horrific things that can destroy the world. So" Xiang Qingniu suddenly understood: "So, once a war breaks out, this place will be the first place where the enemy will attack.  "Fang Jie nodded: "Because there are so many such institutions and facilities here, the enemy will definitely attack the place where such terrorist weapons can be launched. Let's call it a weapon base.? Generally, such powerful weapons must be developed in desolate places.  So, at the beginning of the war, the enemy's horrific weapons began to pour towards this place.  Xiang Qingniu said: "Then the environment in this place was changed to become even worse?"  " Fang Jie nodded: "That's pretty much what it means. Any weapon with that kind of power naturally relies not on a simple explosion, but on a way to destroy the ecological environment.  This place is already very desolate, and with the large number of weapons exploding here, the northwest may be a barren place for a long time.  " "After hundreds of thousands of years, the impact on this place gradually weakened.  However, it is obviously impossible to become a fertile field.  "This is Fang Jie's summary. "It's terrible!  " Xiang Qingniu sighed and said: "It's scary to think about it That is a very different way of development. People nowadays want to be a practitioner that everyone respects. As long as you become a practitioner, you can  Change your life.  But the people of that era were a group of ordinary people who dominated the world.  It's just that those ordinary people have this kind of weapon in their hands that is far more terrifying than any great practitioner's full blow, and can even achieve precise attacks hundreds of miles away, thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles away.  "    "terrible.  " Xiang Qingniu shuddered: "If the development continues in that way, maybe the enemy will throw such a terrifying weapon tens of thousands of miles away from us, and we will die inexplicably.  " "People are really strange things.  " Fang Jie said with emotion: "If we develop in that way, humans will develop weapons that can change nature, resist nature, and even destroy freedom.  But after the way of development was changed, people were able to achieve another kind of vigorous development by studying their own potentialcultivation.  Xiang Qingniu said: "If you put it this way, people are indeed the most awesome existence."  " Fang Jie smiled: "Maybe there are other potentials in the human body that have not been developed.  ¡± ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ The official roads in the northwest were originally built in accordance with the standards of the Sui Dynasty. However, due to years of war and lack of human habitation, many official roads have become bumpy. Without the maintenance of local government agencies, no matter how solid and compact the roads are,  It will be gradually destroyed by the strong wind from the northwest. As the carriage moved, it began to become unstable. Xiang Qingniu rubbed his butt and complained: "In fact, this kind of place can be completely abandoned. In order to preserve this buffer zone, the Sui Dynasty spent a lot of time every year.  Countless money and food were spent.  But even so, the lives of the people in the northwest are definitely not related to the words "free and prosperous".  Let me tell you, no one has the obligation to become a victim of national interests here. In the future, after you become emperor, will you consider completely abolishing this place?  " Fang Jie nodded: "There is indeed no need to immigrate to this place and spend a lot of money to support the people. Instead of spending all the money and food here, it is better to use it elsewhere.  When I have some free time, I will ask Song Zihui to organize the people of the northwest roads to withdraw to the east of Yishui River.  After the war, the number of people suffered great losses.  Even in Jiangnan, which was not greatly affected by the war, the population has decreased.  Therefore, integrating the remaining people in the northwest into the east of Yishui is not a problem.  " "But" Wu Yiyi said: "This involves the issue of the country's gate. At the beginning, Fan Gu was set up as a border city and eight hundred border troops were sent to guard it.  Fan Gu is the gate of the country If everyone in the northwest is evacuated, then the gate of the country will become the front line of Yishui River.  For the territory of the empire, it actually shrunk a lot.  " "No one wants this place.  Fang Jie thought for a while and said, "The northwest is just a symbol."  Just let the garrison be rotated and garrisoned, so the people don't have to stay.  However, the supply line for this kind of garrison defense is too long, and the amount of materials consumed is unbearable.  " Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and then said: "It is better to let the Northern Barbarians come over.  " He pointed to the north and said: "Although most of the barbarians have migrated to the grasslands and compete with the Mongolian people for territory.  However, there are many barbarians who are not accustomed to life on the grasslands. After the establishment of the country in the future, these barbarians must be subdued.  When the time comes, force them to surrender, and then let the barbarian team exist according to our team structure.  Promise them some benefits and give them the northwest.  " Fang Jie said nothing and did not comment. Although the northwest is a tired place, it is also a place for trouble. " Let's talk about these things later Let's talk about Fan Gucheng first.  Fang explained: "I now suspect that the underground palace under Fangu City is one of the weapons bases mentioned before."  ?Because it is hidden deep underground, it is protected from damage.  And for some reason this place was sealed so that the things inside were even usable.  I'm getting more and more curious about what good stuff there is down there.  " "I started to get curious too.  Xiang Qingniu was eager to give it a try: "Do you think it's possible to find a sealed box? If you open it, you'll see holy shit it's a beautiful woman from thousands of years ago who is still alive."  " Fang Jie nodded: "Then I will let you have multiple concubines It will definitely be very cool for the iron guy.  Xiang Qingniu thought for a while and shuddered: "Let's forget it and pinch it off again!"  "
