Lenggong Prince Farming Story

Chapter 14: The Disappearing Person

For almost a month, Xiao Xiao cleaned the place where he lived, not to mention clean, and furnished it warmly and comfortably.Especially the second floor.Although the space is a bit larger, it doesn't look so empty after the screen is used to isolate it from the cabinet.And because I found a hook on the wall, I hung up the curtains directly.

Those desks, cabinets, Arhat beds (?), and stools are heavy, but because they are all empty and the floor is smooth, they can still move slowly bit by bit.

Therefore, the current second floor has been divided into two spaces, the bedroom and the study, by wooden screens, bookcases and wardrobes.

On the second floor, open the door and enter the study room. The four bookcases are arranged in a row from the front wall to the back wall, like a screen, and become a partition wall separating the bedroom.

In the front of the study near the window, according to the habits of modern people, there is a table case, and on the back wall is the simple arhat bed with railings and six big boxes that are somewhat obtrusive after the things are taken out.

Through the partition wall of bookcases and screens is the large bedroom.Xiao Xiao likes to see the sun every morning when he wakes up, so the big bed is naturally close to the window on the front wall.

I don't know that when this furniture was built, the craftsman knew it was for the cold palace, so most of the furniture here is very simple.Not to mention the unique patterns of the Xia Kingdom in the image of the little prince, what can be omitted is omitted, and what can be replaced by a frame is only a frame.

Therefore, this big bed only has railings on one side of the headboard, and the other three sides have no obstacles like modern beds. The frame for hanging the mosquito net is also made of four simple logs to form a frame.However, what's the point of this? For Xiao Xiao, something is better than nothing, as long as he can hang a mosquito net.

What's more, we are modern people in spirit. We are not used to it if you get a carved bed. Such a simple bed is better. Although there is no Simmons cushion underneath, it doesn't matter. The same goes for drying thatch mats.Hey, it's thanks to my grandma's thoughtfulness when I lived in school for the first time.

In order to harmonize the big bed with the surrounding environment, the size of the bedroom must obviously be large. Although there is no way to do it, compared with the city suites that were too big and big, we are considered extravagant.

Apart from the big bed and a few wardrobes used as partitions, the bedroom still looked a bit empty, so someone simply used a screen to separate the bedroom into a small space.There is a spare space for getting up at night in the future.

As of now, the cleaning of the house has finally come to an end.A certain person looks at his grades, ignores the anxiety and loneliness in his heart, and decides to reward himself.

It's still early in the sun outside, which is just right. After dinner, I can relax.

Xiao laughed and went downstairs, went to the kitchen and cooked pumpkin and taro, fried pumpkin cakes, taro cakes, and fried vegetables with garlic.The three dishes are served with a bowl of salted pumpkin soup. This is the most sumptuous time for Xiao Xiao since he came here.

I ate early, put the unfinished pumpkin pie and taro cake in an iron basin and put them in a jar filled with cold water. One advantage of this stone house is that no matter how hot it is outside, it is very cool here, so pumpkin pie and taro cake The taro cake can definitely be put in tomorrow morning in such weather.

After tidying up the kitchen, Xiao Xiao took a pot and ran to the lychee tree to get half a pot of lychees for himself.After washing the lychees, he closed the door, went upstairs, found a few books in the study, sat at the desk and ate lychees while reading.

In fact, in addition to eating lychees recently, he is eating the newly found wild grapes. He has long been a little tired of these fruits.So, after eating a few, I stopped.

What he was holding in his hand now was a book about the history of this world.Judging from the history in the little prince's memory, this book feels a bit unofficial.But overall, it's still on track.

Xiao Xiao has almost finished reading this book.From this book, he also knows the current development and crisis of this world.I also figured out why I have always felt that certain parts of the world are weird.

Whether it is the memory of the little prince or the records in the unofficial history, the only thing in common is that before the Kingdom of Xia, the world had always been in a relatively barbaric primitive state.

However, speaking of the primitive people, they already knew the written word, had books, and had their own group system.An army will also be formed.It can be said that they appear to be tribes on the surface, but in their hearts they already have a national system.The cultural level has probably reached the Xia and Shang era similar to the previous life.

Of course, they are still more advanced than the Xia and Shang era, whether it is culturally or socially, when they belonged to the tribal era, the world as a whole was connected.This also laid the foundation for the emergence of the nine great powers.

At the beginning, Xia Kingdom was just a tribe.This tribe has developed very well, whether it is culture, life, military and so on.

And why do people say that people at that time were more barbaric? Because although people had culture, powerful tribes at that time often felt jealous because other tribes had more people than themselves.It might sound funny to hear that, but it's true.In order to attract more people to their own tribes, the leaders of each tribe will work hard to strengthen their own cities, develop their own culture, entertainment, crafts and so on.If it doesn't work, just fight over and kill the tribal leader of the opponent, and capture his subjects to expand his city.

Of course, this is just the beginning. The development of culture quickly changed the thinking of tribal leaders, so kings appeared, then classes appeared, then nobles appeared, then common people appeared, and slaves appeared...

Culture and communication are the greatest driving force for human development.Human thoughts have also been enriched due to the establishment of centuries and millennia.The barbaric aggression was abandoned, and the size and population could no longer satisfy the ambitions of the rulers.

So the big tribes fought and the small tribes were captured.

In the end, more than a dozen large tribes formed their own cities and saw each other, just like the battle of princes after the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in the present world, but the time may be longer, and the area has also expanded due to the large-scale exchanges between the entire world.

Xia Guo's historian defined this as 150 years.This number is not comparable to those of the princes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. One can imagine how exciting the battle of wits and courage among the chiefs of the tribes in the middle is.

Of course, this figure only refers to the time of tribal wars on the continent occupied by the Xia Kingdom.

Others like the Northern Kingdom have only been around for 100 years, because before that, the surrounding small tribes were captured because of the war between the big tribes, so in the end there were only six or seven big tribes.Of course, their unification has also stimulated the tribal countries that continue to see each other.

It took 160 years for the Southern Kingdom, which is about the same as the Xia Kingdom. The material-rich Southern Kingdom has a large population, and of course there are many tribes, so it took a long time for the final unification.

Jin Kingdom 150 years, Oasis Kingdom 100 years, Zhongtu Kingdom 100 years, Juluo Kingdom 100 years, Sang Kingdom 100 years.Thousand Islands is said to be the largest of the nine great powers in terms of area and the largest population. They are not the same as other countries. Anyway, they are on the same piece of land. This country passed through the Sang Island when other countries had already started the final tribal war. China is connected with this continent, and it took only 200 years for them not only to achieve cultural unification with the culture on this continent, but also military.It discouraged Sang Guo, who wanted to develop towards them at first.

After the unification, the Xia Kingdom was not actually named Xia Yu at the beginning. The surname Xia Yu only started 100 years ago.

Whether it is the little prince's memory or the unofficial history, there is no specific writing, only an incident that almost destroyed mankind happened.

What event is it?Xiao Xiao couldn't find it after reading the whole book.However, there is one statistic worth noting.

That is, 200 tribes participated in the [-]-year war before the Xia Kingdom. It is said that at that time, each of these [-] tribes had a population of more than one million.

So after calculation, the total population of the fifteen tribes must be tens of millions.

After the reunification of the Xia Kingdom, when it was the most prosperous, the historian said that there were more than 5000 million people.

However, the total population of Nanhai City, the capital of Xia Kingdom, is said to be more than 300 million, but this population accounts for one-tenth of the entire country.Counting the number of people, it was just about the same as the total number of fifteen tribes hundreds of years ago.

Where did everyone else go?This question made Xiao Xiao feel numb all over.Not only the Xia Kingdom, but other countries as well. The historian said that when the Southern Kingdom was most prosperous, the population of the Xia Kingdom was five times that of the Xia Kingdom, that of the Qiandao Kingdom was four times that of the Xia Kingdom, that of the Jin Kingdom was three times that of the Xia Kingdom, and that of the Juluo Kingdom was that of the Xia Kingdom. More than three times, the North Country is on par with Xia Country, but now, the teacher told him in the little prince's memory that Xia Country is the country with the third largest population among the Nine Great Powers.In front of it is the southern country and the largest thousand island country.

As if overnight, two-thirds of the world's population disappeared.
