Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

Each dynasty also realized that there would be a period of rest after the later generations, but while the later generations were resting, they could not rest.

The emperor and his ministers not only had to solve their own immediate difficulties, but also had to find ways to plan for the future.

As for the prodigal son mentioned above, the emperors as top ancestors do not want to admit it, but the fact has happened and it should be avoided if possible.

During this period, the potatoes planted in the fields of various dynasties had matured, and the emperors took out their tools for reclamation, especially those dynasties that had not had high yields before. They wanted to be the first to eat potatoes!

What a joke! What's the point of being an emperor if you can't even eat hot good things? Although people in later generations lived much better than them, food is better than nothing, especially for dynasties that were in disaster periods.

Looking at the potatoes that were constantly being dug out, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Great, that’s great. With such good seeds, the people will finally not starve to death.

……

Having systematically observed the development of each dynasty, he also knew that the people at the bottom suffered the most in feudal dynasties.

The supremacy of the monarchy cannot be reversed overnight. It took a long time for the situation to improve from the late Qing Dynasty to the new China.

As long as those in power are not really incompetent, expanding territory is their achievement, and it is also an important basis for future generations to study dynasties.

Although war is unavoidable and the change of dynasties is inevitable, with the information provided by the video, perhaps this dimension will have new breakthroughs and past regrets will not have to happen again.

Thinking of the merit power he had obtained, the system smiled happily. A worker’s soul is a worker, and a worker is a superior person.

Let’s see if 001 and the others can still laugh at it for being a rookie after it completes this mission!

Switching planes, 438 felt a little emotional when he noticed that group of special people were charging bravely under the gunfire.

They fought entirely on the basis of their faith. Who could guarantee that they would really win? But history has proven that their sacrifice brought about a brand new China.

438 felt a little painful as he used part of his merit to exchange for a special medicine. This medicine is much better than those so-called panaceas, and it works quickly and has no side effects.

There was a flash of golden light.

The military doctor at the camp cried with joy when he saw the medical supplies and winter clothes that appeared. The weather is bad now, the soldiers need warm clothes, and some of the wounded are almost unable to hold on. This batch of medical supplies is simply a timely relief!

Although people in later generations don’t know, they are very grateful in their hearts, thanking them for the supplies!

……

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and all dynasties had settled down and could finally take a breath.

The emperors usually watched entertainment videos of later generations. When there were major events, they would summon court officials to discuss them, and the people below would also take active action.

Everything is going in the right direction.

The common people did not have so many worries. They just felt that since the skylight was installed, their lives had become a little better than before. They had surplus food at home and their lives had more hope.

The plain language of later generations also makes them feel very familiar. When watching the news and programs, children sometimes can't even walk when they see cartoon clips. They want to watch them every day.

The emperors were both happy and afraid. They wanted to see if there would be anything good for them in the future, but they were also afraid that something bad would be exposed. After all, uncontrollable things were difficult for them to grasp. They had no idea what was going on, but they couldn't stop it. They were so worried!

Watch new images emerge.

Clerks who kept records of various dynasties: Here comes another job.

After swinging his arms and warming up, he sat down and started studying again.

The emperors couldn't help but light up when they saw the title below.

[As one of the four great inventions of ancient times, "papermaking", do you know how it is made? 】

Ying Zheng had long coveted the paper of later generations, but they were really penniless at that time.

The invention of papermaking really solved their urgent problem.

The emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties were all extremely surprised. It was great! It finally touched their hearts.

[Paper is a medium for recording and writing, and it has gone through a long process of polishing to become what it is today. For example, the daily paper sold at a discount in supermarkets for more than ten yuan a bag would have been a treasure in ancient times. ]

Ancient emperors: I suspect that you, Tianmu, are implying something about us!

[Then let’s first take a look at how our ancestors recorded events before the invention of papermaking?

Before paper was invented, China already had materials for recording events, such as oracle bones, bamboo slips, and silk. However, as time went by, many drawbacks were exposed, which is why papermaking was born.

Early Dynasties: That’s right, this method of recording is too laborious.

Talented scholars of various dynasties also thought that since there was a method to make paper for the sky curtain, they could try to make it at home in the future. However, the special rice paper was really daunting.

[In the Shang Dynasty, people carved words on the plastrons of turtles and the skulls of animals, which formed the oracle bone script we are familiar with.

With the development of handicraft industry, people cast characters on bronze ware, forming bronze inscriptions or Jinwen. Since then, bronze ware has become a common material for recording events.

It is said that in ancient times, people used materials such as stone and jade to write text, which theoretically could be preserved forever. 】

[But think about it, if you need to take notes when you go out, you have to carry dozens of kilograms of oracle bones or stones, which is too inconvenient. We can only say that our ancestors have been innovating, which is why civilization continues and industry develops. ]

When the audience saw the words on the stone, they thought that paper was indeed good and much lighter.

Ordinary people thought that since Tianmu talked about papermaking, they could try to make it at home in the future, which would be great for daily use.

The emperors had already prepared their benches, waiting for Tianmu to teach them the method.

Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han and others were even more anxious. With practical and lightweight paper, maybe they could even sell it. It was exciting just to think about it!

The disciples of the Mohist School had been looking forward to it for a long time, and could not wait to see the pure white paper of later generations, but since they had no way to contact the sky curtain, they had to endure it.

It is filled with densely packed words and is double-sided. How is such a thin paper made?

[Oracle bones and metal and stone are heavy and hard materials. They are not convenient to carry around. They are also large in size and difficult to store. If they are slightly rubbed or damaged, the writing cannot be preserved. Therefore, they are not suitable as writing materials.

Later, ancient people used bamboo and wood to make bamboo slips as materials for writing and recording events.

Bamboo slips, abbreviated as bamboo slips, are rectangular smooth pieces of bamboo that have been sorted.

The bamboo slips were written with lacquer or ink, and then woven together piece by piece with leather strips or strings to form a book or a document.

For a long time, it was the main writing material. The material is cheap, and it is more convenient to read and carry, but it also has disadvantages, such as taking up a lot of space and being heavy.

The ancient saying "rich in learning" is really a true portrayal. Therefore, the emperors had a heavy workload. For example, Qin Shi Huang did not use paper but bamboo tubes. He reviewed 120 shi of memorials every day, which is equivalent to more than 30 kilograms in today's measurement unit.

Our ancestors worked so hard every day.

If the scholars at that time had taken these "books" with them, it would have been a heavy burden to carry on their journey. 】

Many people nodded in agreement, but because of reading, there was no other way. There were books on silk, but they were only used for exchanges between nobles. Ordinary people could not afford them.

To pass the imperial examination, one must study. Without money and study materials, sometimes reading a book is a luxury, let alone a precious book. It is difficult.

Now, I only hope that Tianmu will be kind enough to give them the opportunity to read, learn to read and gain knowledge.

The First Emperor also sighed. Books and documents were so precious. It was a tragedy of their time that talented students were buried because they had no chance to learn to read. He hoped that this hidden danger could be eliminated in the future.
