Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 36 The Great Wall, the soul of the Dragon Kingdom! !

Tang Yun's focus is different from that of architects.

He doesn't care whether this super invincible and huge project can be completed in ancient times.

He didn't care what method the people of the ancient dragon country used to build this terrifying and great miracle building.

He also doesn't care about the building's civil structure, architectural superiority, and the construction design that reflects the pinnacle of ancient architecture.

His concern goes straight to the source:

"Lin Xuan, can you tell me why such a Great Wall was built in the ancient Earth Star Dragon Kingdom?"

"Could it be because of the Northern Empire's southward movement?"

"But... this city doesn't seem to be able to stop the army from going south."

As a historian, even though the Great Wall never existed in Blue Star's history, Tang Yun could see at a glance that the Great Wall's function was not to stop the attacking army.

It is completely different from the walls of the city.

Ylent: "I have learned about some buildings in the ancient Dragon Kingdom. Those raised buildings between the Great Wall should be the evolution of beacon towers, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded: "That's right."

"More than 3000 years ago, people in the ancient Long Kingdom skillfully used beacon towers."

"The Zhou royal family used the beacon tower to notify the princes to achieve the role of dispatching troops."

"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the earliest people in the state of Jin built a wall between two beacon towers, and that was the earliest Great Wall."

Tang Yun nodded: "I have considered this issue."

"The beacon tower can spread the news of the enemy's attack thousands of miles away in a short time."

"However, even if it has the function of mobilizing the army, the Great Wall still cannot stop the army from going south."

Lin Xuan smiled: "The function of the Great Wall is not to defend the northern nomads from the northern imperial army going south."

Everyone present, including netizens, were stunned.

The Great Wall is not to resist the army of the Northern Empire going south, is it really to stop the monsters?

This is not nonsense! ?

Lin Xuan: "The Great Wall is the soul of the Dragon Kingdom people!"

"The Great Wall is the embodiment of the will and quality of the people of Longguo."

"In the Earth Star Dragon Kingdom, there are four great beings, which are the imprints of the people of the Dragon Kingdom who have penetrated into the soul."

"Yangtze River, Great Wall, Huangshan, Yellow River."

"The Yangtze River represents the pioneering spirit of Longguo people."

"The Yellow River represents the filial piety of the people of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Huangshan, named after the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom, represents the culture and self-cultivation of the Dragon Kingdom people."

"The Great Wall represents the bottom line of the Dragon Kingdom people!"

Tang Yun was puzzled: "Why does a building represent the bottom line of the people of Earth Star Dragon Kingdom?"

Lin Xuan: "Because the role of the Great Wall is not to stop the northern nomadic army from going south."

"The function of the Great Wall is...to prevent the northern empire from attacking the border people of the ancient dragon country on a small scale!"

"Protect the border people!"

"It's bitterly cold in the north. Once there is heavy snow in winter, and the cattle and sheep freeze to death, the northern empire, which lacks food, will go south to rob the border people of the Dragon Kingdom on a small scale."

"Assault on the border of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Burn, kill and loot."

"The army on the border of the Dragon Kingdom has no way to deal with these small teams."

"Three or five people, seven or eight riders."

"Two thirty people, one hundred riders."

"These people come and go like the wind. When the army came to rescue the border residents, they would have fled long ago."

Several people looked at each other listening.

The Great Wall is to prevent three or two people from going south to rob the border people?
How much manpower and material resources are needed for such a magnificent building, and how long does it take to build it?

Just to prevent small-scale robbery of border residents?
Is this... worth it?

This kind of math problem, the emperors of the Earth Star Dragon Kingdom, don't know how to calculate it? ! ! !
Didn't they learn math? ! ! !
[No, this is the rocket hitting ants! 】

[Is it worth it?In order to prevent dozens of border residents from being burned, killed and looted every year, is this horrible building built to block the border? 】

[This story is too fake. I don't believe that Lin Xuan is a person from Earth and Stars. I don't believe that such a country exists in the world. 】

Tang Yun asked in a daze, "Is it worth it?"

"A good deal?"

Lin Xuan was dumbfounded by the question.

What is cost-effective?

How can there be such a cost-effective thinking?
Lin Xuan thought for a while before speaking: "Since ancient times, the sages have said 'Love the people like a son', 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement, and the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries virtue with him'!"

"Three Kingdoms Han Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei once said: 'Don't do good things because they are small, and don't do evil things because they are small.'"

"Confucius said, 'The superior is the watch of the people!'"

Lin Xuan's voice gradually amplified, becoming more serious and thick:

"Jia Yi once said: 'Those who are ministers should take the rich and happy people as their merits and the poor people as their crimes'!"

"Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, once said: 'A sage has no permanent mind, but the mind of the common people is his heart'!"

"Whether monarchs or ministers, thinkers, educators, ordinary literati, or ordinary officials in all ages, one thing must be kept in mind. Any human life is a national event!"

"Once upon a time there was Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, who had to personally look over the files of all murder cases. He processed hundreds of memorial files every day, and he still got up at three o'clock every day to deal with government affairs in his 70s."

"There used to be Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, who had to personally judge any case of punishment of more than [-] sticks. He died in a heartbroken manner. In the end, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he really dedicated himself!"

"Song Ci, the criminal officer of the Great Song Dynasty, once said a famous saying to warn the world..."

"Human life! Greater than the sky!!!"

Lin Xuan: "Every border dweller is a compatriot of our Dragon Country."

"Every commoner is the foundation of the country that the emperor must consider."

"In history there are many foolish kings, but there are also many wise ones."

"These monarchs and ministers have deeply engraved love for the people like children."

"Is there a problem with building the Great Wall to protect border residents?"

All the people present were dumbfounded.

History, is this history?
Shouldn't history be dark, tricky, chaotic, and painful?

Yes, these are the most fascinating things in history.

But in real history, being diligent and caring for the people is the core quality of a ruler!

Lin Xuan: "If you can't make the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if you rule the world, you are not a wise king."

"Even if a library with a lot of knowledge can't hold it, as long as you don't know how to make a life for the people, you can't be considered a saint."

Why is it also the three immortal achievements of "contributing meritorious deeds and establishing words", Confucius and Wang Yangming are saints, and they can be counted as half if they have shaved their heads?
Because Zeng didn't understand what it means to love the people like a son.

As a result, there are countless people in later generations who treat this powerful man as a bastard.

Lin Xuan: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall has been built one after another. Finally, it took 100 years of concentrated construction to complete the greatest building in the world."

"In the Han Dynasty, when the territory was expanded to the Western Regions, the most important thing that the Central Plains Dynasty thought of was to build the Great Wall of Han to Lop Nur, thousands of miles away."

"In all dynasties, except for the era when the northern forces could be crushed, the rulers of any era have been building the Great Wall."

"The purpose is to let the border residents enjoy the same stability as the people in the center of the country."

"This kind of thinking has also been passed down from ancient times to modern times."

"In order to transport a patient, the owners of the [-]-kilometer expressway all gave up the life passage."

"At the moment of the fire, one after another firefighters rushed into the fire and gave their respirators to the victims without complaint or regret."

"During the flood, how many soldiers died under the mud in order to save the people."

"In the face of aggression, how many people slept forever on the monument in order to protect their compatriots they didn't know."

"Things like this, from small to large, are countless."

"Why do some people suspect that the Great Wall should not be built for a few, a dozen, or a hundred border residents?"

"Or, compared to a country, a hundred or so people sounds insignificant."

"Dozens and hundreds died in that year, how many died in a hundred years? How many will die in a thousand years?"

"If things go on like this, how will the abandoned border residents be sure that they are from the Dragon Kingdom?"

"The soul of my Dragon Kingdom is lost!!!"

The Great Wall is for this purpose.

It sounds like this function is worthless.

However, the value of human life cannot be estimated.

Perhaps, the construction of the Great Wall in each dynasty also took into account the reasons for arranging jobs for refugees, slaves, and surrendered troops.

But more, it is to prevent small groups from raiding, burning, killing and looting.

If Qin Shihuang, who beat the Huns to the ground, was not for this, why did he build the Qin Great Wall?

Zhu Di, who knocked off the heads of the Tatars, if it wasn't for this, why did he go to build the Great Wall?
Therefore, the Great Wall is the bottom line of the people of Longguo.

Whenever there is one sentence to remember, that is 'human life is greater than the sky'.

People who have lost this bottom line do not deserve to see the Great Wall.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath: "This is the greatest ancient building in the history of my Star Dragon Kingdom and the history of Earth Star - the Great Wall."

There was thunderous applause at the scene.

The barrage, all the [human life is greater than the sky].

Director Han Yang was deeply moved by the meaning of seeing the big from the small, but he still didn't forget his duty: "Lin Xuan, don't be in a hurry to end the first half of the live broadcast!"

"Let a few judges comment on the ancient buildings of Earth Star, let's chat!"

Hearing the voice in the headset, Lin Xuan said, "The following judges Tang Yun and several judges can express their opinions on what they saw today, or whether they can find my loopholes."

"What I have said and what I have shown are Earth and Star civilizations. If you have any doubts, you can raise them."

Leaving from the camera, Lin Xuan came down from the stage and walked to Han Yang's side: "What did you call me on the earphone just now?"

Han Yang whispered: "There is a task above."

"Ok?"

Chief Director Han Yang said mysteriously: "To be precise, I feel this is a test..."
