Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

"They look so happy!" someone said with emotion. Yes, there is no smoke of war, no bloodshed, no hunger, only the fireworks of the world and happiness. What a prosperous era!

After seeing the buildings of the sky curtain, people from all dynasties could not help but exclaim: "Ah, how did the houses of later generations build so high? Aren't they afraid of falling down?"

Some generals in the war noticed a black box speeding past the side of the road. It was running so fast. If they had such a thing, it would be much faster than a horse. And look, it has lights in the front and back and can provide illumination. It is simply a magical tool for going on an expedition!

Some palace servants and others in the palace looked at this peaceful night market and couldn't help wondering, "Don't they have a curfew?" You know, you can't go out at will after the curfew. If the patrol finds you, you will be severely punished. Some may even be arrested as assassins. In the past, there were cases of people being hacked to death by random swords. After entering the palace, there were special people to remind them. But this later life seems really free. Aren't you afraid of encountering danger so late at night?

The emperors were all very curious about how the rulers of later generations governed. They had good food and warm clothes, but there were no government officials coming and going. Seeing so many people at night, wouldn’t there be even more people on the streets during the day?

Some red people with lofty ideals in the late Qing Dynasty understood that we had driven out the bandits, the people were happy and the country was prosperous, which was great, so they had to persevere no matter how difficult it was now, for the sake of New China, our motherland!

However, some Confucian scholars in later dynasties could not help but jump up and down, shouting angrily, "How can women in later generations be so immoral! And they are so intimate with men. How can women walk side by side with men? Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. How can they show their faces in public! And, um, um, how can men carry women on their backs? It's such a mess!..." Everyone around them stayed away from them. It was really a joke. All people in the world came from women, but they don't want women to have a chance to succeed.

Leng Xiaoyun didn't know what they were thinking. She only had one thought in her mind: I want to eat. A few minutes ahead there is a restaurant. It is an old brand here and the food tastes good. After arriving at the place, she ordered the food and waited at her seat. Looking at the street view outside the door, she thought about going to Mixue to buy a cup of milk tea after eating o(*￣▽￣*)o

Some officials noticed the store the woman entered. Not only was there something brighter than the lights on the street, but even the door to the store was made of colored glaze. It was really rich. But it seemed that every customer used that little black box when paying. I don't know what it is. Oh, it would be nice if there was an explanation. This half-understanding is too tormenting.

I opened my phone and saw a video push, so I clicked on it [“I was born to be useful, and I will get it back even if I lose all my money”]

[“I study for the rise of China, not for the so-called study is the only way out. They blocked all the roads, and then told us that study is the only way out. Originally, there were 360 ​​professions, and each profession had its top scholar. Now, everything is inferior except study.”]

"Study for the rise of China" someone muttered, someone cheered, and everyone applauded. In their era, studying and passing the imperial examinations brought honor to the family and ancestors, but I wonder if the study of later generations is the same as theirs. If you win the first place in the imperial examination, you can really serve the court, but ordinary people either pass the exam in one go or live a dull life, most of them are mediocre.

People after the Tang Dynasty would have their eyes light up when they saw the familiar line "I was born with talents that will be useful, even if I spend all my money I will get it back", because that was Li Bai, and his words could represent half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

[“I hope everyone will remember that we are born to be useful, and even if we lose all our money, we will get it back. The sky is high and birds can fly freely. Our youth, as passionate as gold, should not be defined. Young people, run hard. These are our shackles. You yearn for freedom more, don’t you…”]

Some poor students in ancient times said that studying was really difficult for them. Looking at the words on the sky curtain, they thought that maybe they could try to achieve success in other areas.

But the next video shocked the emperors [Counting the population and territory of each dynasty in China]

They were shocked to hear that China had a population of 1.4 billion. How much food would such a large number of people need to eat in a year? However, seeing that the people on the streets did not seem to be hungry, and there were not even any homeless beggars, they could imagine how rich and powerful the country was. In their minds, they could not imagine how terrifying such a huge number was, at least it was hard for them to imagine it now.

When Emperor Qin Shi Huang heard about the population of later generations, he was extremely envious. You have to know that his Great Qin had only about 3,000 households, and he was short of people for everything, such as fighting wars, building the Great Wall, and constructing military defenses. When he heard that the population of later generations was so large, he wanted to know how they did it.

Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty always pursued a policy of recuperation, which was to restore the country's population and economy. He was extremely envious when he heard about the population of later generations. You know, the number of Han people dropped sharply after the Five Barbarians Invasion of China, and now after the unification, the population is only more than 40 million, which is not even a fraction of that.

As music and a voice sounded, the video began:

[Qin Shi Huang unified the country. At its peak, the territory covered more than 340 million square kilometers and the population was about 3000 million.

By the Han Dynasty, the territory had a maximum area of ​​about 609 million square kilometers, and the population had increased from 1650 million in the early Western Han Dynasty to 5700 million;

During the Three Kingdoms period, due to years of war, the population dropped drastically, and at its peak it only reached 820 million.

During the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the territory was as large as 540 million square kilometers, and the population was as high as 1700 million.

The Sui Dynasty once again achieved great unification, with a territory of 467 million square kilometers and a population of about 4600 million, but it still did not break the record of the Han Dynasty;

During the Tang Dynasty, the territory reached a maximum area of ​​1237 million square kilometers and the population reached 8000 million, but after the An-Shi Rebellion, the population dropped rapidly...】

After the video starts, people in all dynasties began to write furiously. Later dynasties had paper for easy recording, and those around the Western Han Dynasty had rough but usable writing, while the early dynasties used stone carvings that sparked.

Even though it was already time to return home after court, the emperor was still there, and the court officials had no choice but to accompany their own majesty. Moreover, the information revealed by Tianmu this time was related to them. You know, the census is easy to say, but it is very troublesome due to the lack of communication and the incomplete information uploaded. This time, Tianmu was a great help.

Some founding emperors had just secured their throne when they heard about the dynasty that came after them. They felt very "wonderful". Although they knew that the change of dynasties was inevitable, it was hard to describe what they heard and saw with their own eyes.

The First Emperor was really happy and sad when he looked at the information on the sky curtain. The map on the sky curtain was more detailed than theirs, even mountains, rivers and lakes were marked. But he was not too surprised to hear that the Han Dynasty would come after the Qin Dynasty. Although he knew that the Qin Dynasty would not last for ten thousand years, he was still afraid of not being able to find the enemy with a more accurate map. However, he still had to discuss it carefully...

Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin couldn't help but get angry when he saw the words "Anshi Rebellion" at the end. These were all the wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty, but his descendants were not up to the task and the people were displaced again.

[By the Song Dynasty, although the territory was only 280 million square kilometers, the population had increased to 1 million;

By the Yuan Dynasty, the territory had reached a record high, but the population remained at only around 9 million.

With the introduction of new crops such as potatoes and corn during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the population reached a new high of 2 million.

By the Qing Dynasty, the number had exceeded 4 million.

After watching the video, the emperors of all dynasties felt that the population really has its ups and downs, but they were really envious of the later dynasties. They had food that could fill their stomachs, and those things looked delicious. They just wanted to see where they had them and why they didn’t have them now. They didn’t want to do anything, they just wanted to taste them~

Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to ask Tianmu, why don’t we see potatoes and corn in Ming Dynasty? Oh, the people can’t eat, where are the potatoes and corn?

But seeing that the Qing Dynasty came after the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but conspire, "It doesn't sound like the Qing Dynasty was founded by the Han people. Could it be that foreigners destroyed the Ming Dynasty?" He always felt that the Jurchen tribes here were not pleasing to the eye. What was going on?

In the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi looked at the information on the sky screen and was very proud. Their Qing Dynasty had the largest population, but when I think of the 1.4 billion people mentioned earlier, how come my Qing Dynasty only caught up with a fraction of that? I thought that the people in the video I saw didn't dress like my Qing Dynasty either. Could it be that the Han people took over the country later? But why did they disappear when it came to the Qing Dynasty?

When Leng Xiaoyun heard her number being called, she stood up to get the bowl. The video on her phone continued to play the next video.
