famine and snowstorm,how will they survive

Seeing the inscription, Xu Lao's hands trembled, and he took out a glasses case from his bosom. He put on his reading glasses with trembling hands.

Looking closely, there are small words next to the seal.

"The Mo Family Prince's Mansion!"

Xu Lao excitedly said: "The Mo Family is the oldest noble family in the Great Qi Kingdom. The Queen of the Great Qi Kingdom is from the Mo Family, and all the descendants are famous people..."

"The Qi Kingdom was destroyed, but the Mo Family was preserved intact. Hundreds of years later, the Mohist school of thought became famous in the world!" Ye Mumu said in disbelief: "Is it that Mo Family? "

"Yes!"

She knew Mo Fan, and her impression of him was that he was a naive and frivolous young prince who was ignorant of the world.

But he gave a lot of money and was generous.

Except for Zhan Chengyin, he gave the most money!

"I want this bowl!" Xu Lao said generously.

Old Zhang also wanted it, "No, let's bid, whoever bids the highest will buy it!"

When the two were ready to bid, Old Mu came over with a smug smile and a flushed face.

Ye Mumu stood up suddenly, staring at him with wide eyes.

"How dare you come!"

Old Mu said, "I transferred the money to you, have you checked the account?"

Ye Mumu checked the text messages on her mobile phone and saw 2 billion in the account.

However, these were all given to her by Xiao Feng'er and her younger brothers and sisters. They were all taken away by the old man.

Seeing that she was still angry, Old Mu hurriedly comforted her: "If I sell it, I will give you another 10%!"

Old Xu looked at the platinum carved lacquer box in his hand and put down the bowl, "Open the box and have a look!"

After the box was opened, the bronze sword and the small porcelain animal ornaments were gone.

Only a Luban lock was left!

Luban lock is made of two kinds of wood, agarwood and golden nanmu.

Golden nanmu is very expensive in modern times, and there is a saying that one pound of wood is worth one pound of gold.

Because of its long growth cycle, it takes 600-800 years.

Mu Lao said: "I just ran it through the machine. The growth cycle of this golden nanmu has reached more than a thousand years. This kind of golden nanmu costs tens of thousands of yuan per pound!"

"What's more, this is an antique..."

What! Golden nanmu that is more than a thousand years old costs tens of thousands of yuan per pound.

In Daqi, craftsmen actually made it into children's toys.

So, is there a lot of golden nanmu in Daqi?

If it is sold until now, wouldn't it be rich!

Old Xu took the Luban lock in his hand and spun it around. "It is indeed golden nanmu. I didn't expect that the ancients two thousand years ago used golden nanmu to make Luban locks!"

"This toy has a high research value. Educational development toys are not only available when Lu Ban was alive. Children in Qi Kingdom hundreds of years ago started playing with them!"

"This kind of thing should be placed in a museum. It is very valuable!"

Old Mu said, "I asked Xiao Zhang to come here today. Let them take a look first. If they need it, they will be placed in the museum first!"

Old Xu put the lock down.

Ye Mumu heard this and didn't insist on taking the things back.

She boiled water to make tea for the three old men.

Everyone chatted while drinking tea!

Ye Mumu saw that they all had some research on the history of the Great Qi Kingdom. So

he asked, "Old Mu, what do you think would have happened if Zhan Chengyin hadn't died?"

Old Mu thought of the records in the wild history and recalled the descriptions of cannibalism in that famine era.

"The Great Qi Kingdom was destroyed and divided by Chu and Qi..."

"The two countries seemed to have won at the time, but they also paid a huge price to attack Zhenguan."

The Chu army was wiped out by an uprising army in Qi called the Yellow Flag Army."

"After Qi invaded the capital of Qi, they robbed money and immediately withdrew. The Yellow Flag Army did not stop them, but other uprising armies robbed them of all their money."

"It seems that Chu and Qi won, but they were also losers."

"Their attack on Qi weakened the country, and after about a few decades, it was replaced by civil strife."

"The Chu State is still called Chu, but the emperor is no longer the king of Chu of the previous generation."

"The Qi State was directly destroyed and annexed by the Yan State and the Yu State!"

"The barbarians are still a nomadic people. Many people in Qi were eaten by them and survived the famine."

"Does the history books record how long the famine lasted?"

"Let me think about it. During the famine, people were cannibalistic, and it lasted for about three years."

Ye Mumu's eyes widened, her voice became a little high-pitched.

"Three years? So long?"

Mu Lao said, "It's not over yet. Three years later, there was a snowstorm... which caused a sharp drop in the number of people in China, with only one in ten left!"

"Several countries were destroyed, but the Yu, Yan, and Chu countries survived, while the other dynasties were destroyed."

"You ask, what would have happened if Zhan Chengyin had survived? It would have been difficult for him to change history. Even if Zhenguan had not been breached, how would he have survived the three-year famine?"

"The Qi Kingdom no longer exists. It would have been difficult for him as a general to turn the tide, unless he became the leader of the Yellow Flag Army. After the Yellow Flag Army was founded, it would have tried to survive the famine and snowstorm!

Ye Mumu asked Mu Lao again, "What is the origin of the Yellow Flag Army?"

"The unofficial history doesn't say that the Yellow Flag Army established its own dynasty, called the Zhao Kingdom, but it didn't survive the alternation of snowstorms and droughts, and it was destroyed after only a few years! "

Ye Mumu was deeply shocked by Mu Lao's words.

It was far from enough for her to help Zhan Chengyin win the war.

The drought and famine lasted for three years, and one year had not yet ended. There were still two years to come.

After the famine, there was a snowstorm...

How long would the snowstorm last?

She didn't know!

With the alternation of severe drought and severe snowstorm, how could the ancients survive?

Mu Lao said that only one in ten survived, and this data is conservative.

Even though there were more than 100 million people in China at that time, less than a few million people survived to the end.

She saved Zhan Chengyin and allowed her to safely survive the siege of Zhenguan.

What about the future?

How will they survive the more severe and lengthy famine years?

In addition, the Yellow Flag Army actually successfully replaced the Qi Kingdom and established the Zhao Kingdom.

Although it only existed for a few years, it was not destroyed by internal and external troubles, but it just failed to survive the natural disaster!

Ye Mumu said to Mu Lao: "Can that unofficial history still be found? I want to know about that cruel history myself."

Mu Lao saw that Ye Mumu took the initiative to learn and was very studious.

He was very pleased.

"These unofficial histories are also from ancient books. They are kept in large state-owned bookstores or museum vaults, and cannot be borrowed by outsiders."

"If you really want to see them, I'll see if I can take a picture of them when I have the chance!"

"Okay, thank you very much!"

"No problem! By the way, your store is recruiting employees. I have two students who are about to graduate and need internship certificates. How about I introduce them to work in your store?"

"Don't worry, they are decent people. There won't be any problems with my introduction."

Ye Mumu nodded, "Okay, then you bring them here and they can start work tomorrow!"

"Okay, it's settled."

Mu Lao stood up happily and went to the corner to call his students.

Xu Lao and Zhang Lao saw that he had moved Ye Mumu's store next to his own store. This was not enough, and he even stuffed people into Ye Mumu's store.

Xu Lao asked quickly, "Mumu, your store needs a knowledgeable manager or store manager. I have a few candidates here who have all been store managers. Do you want to interview them?"

Zhang Lao was not to be outdone."Didn't you say last time that you needed a professional accountant? I just happen to have a suitable candidate. He graduated with a degree in accounting, worked in a large company, opened a studio, and represented the business of several large companies."

"If you think he's good, I'll ask him to come over tomorrow!"
