After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Ang established the Wei Dynasty, and the Wei Dynasty first established a school system in various places, and set up schools to preach. Based on the theory of a hundred schools of thought, there are countless people who started the school and argued endlessly.
When the style of study was at its peak, the theories of physics, mathematics, literature, and history, and countless works passed down to the world, laid the foundation stones for later generations, and made Wei known as the beginning of learning for later generations.
On the west side, there is the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Along the Silk Road, the commercial convoys are connected by horses and horses, all the way westward.
Under the wind and sand, the bells hanging on the camel's neck echoed on the roads leading to the world.
When learning is at its peak, the national power is strong, and the technique of smelting iron and metallurgy is used to make weapons for use in the army, making the army strong and powerful. The ability of water conservancy and agriculture can be used to reform field plowing, match seedlings and raise seedlings, so as to double grain production. The principles of arithmetic and physics are used to investigate things to know the world and make the world wise.
Countless theories start from here, and countless creations first appear in people's minds from here.
Countless people saw the signposts pointing the way at the intersection, and walked towards the countless roads step by step. Those roads are different, but they lead to the same place, which is a better way of the world.
These are no longer the achievements of one person, but an era created by people of an era with their whole life's hard work, an era that can be passed down to future generations and is memorable, an era of China's heyday, a Han and local civilization An era of milestones.
Later generations said, Tongyuan flourishing age.
However, this is not because of the name of the country, the word Yuan has the meaning of beginning, the beginning, and the age of Tongyuan means the prosperity that leads to the beginning of everything. So much has started from here, though a lot is immature. But from then on, people began to understand the world more clearly.

No one likes to live outside the Great Wall, not to mention the endless yellow sand that can't be seen at a glance, it is really not worth seeing. Even the weather outside the Great Wall is not easy for people. It is hot in the daytime and people feel flustered, and at night they are shivering with cold.
Coupled with the fact that living in the frontier outside the Great Wall would always be harassed by horse thieves or Hun soldiers, it was hard to think that living here would be a good thing.
The only ones who will go to this kind of place are probably those peddlers who want money and don't care about their lives.
A few years ago, the Xiongnu invaded the south, and horse thieves often ransacked the nearby villages, which made people near the border panic.
Perhaps it is because there are rumors that the imperial court has begun to rectify the army and prepare to attack the Huns. In the past two years, their lives have become much more stable.
I hardly saw many horse thieves, and even the small Hun cavalry that was always running outside the Great Wall was much less.
However, there are still some rumors.
It is not because the horse thieves and the Xiongnu did not come because they heard the news from the court, but because there are ghosts demanding their lives in this desert.
It is said that the unjust ghost was originally a villager who was robbed and killed by horse thieves nearby. After his death, his grievances persisted and turned into a fierce ghost, swimming in the desert to be killed.
She often wears a black robe to block the wind and sand. When walking in the desert, she doesn't even leave footprints, as if she walked out of thin air. He always carried a black stick in his hand, some said it was a cane, some said it was a thin sword.
But anyone who met her, whether it was a horse thief with only a dozen people or a small Hun cavalry with dozens of people, none of them could come back alive.
It is said that someone has seen with their own eyes, a group of 20 or 30 horse thieves, all of them sealed their throats with a sword, and the blood flowed so that the nearby sand was red. When the strong wind blows, the sand blowing over will bury those corpses little by little, as if the desert has eaten these people.
When he looked around, he seemed to see a person from a distance, wearing a black wind robe, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared again.
People who have heard these rumors will feel terrified unconsciously, but not many people believe it. After all, this is not the old year that only paid attention to ghosts and gods.
Even in places like the border fortress, the Han people can read some characters. After reading the book for a few days, it is enough to listen to this kind of strange talk.
In a small village at the border.
"Squeak." There was a sound of wheels, and a car passed by the side of the road.
This cart looks strange, the rear looks like an ordinary trailer, but what is pulled in the front is not a horse or a mule or the like, but an iron frame with two wheels.
Sitting alone on the iron frame, stepping on the pedals on both sides, the iron frame moved by itself, and even pulled the trailer behind.
Passers-by on both sides of the road saw such a car but didn't even turn their heads, and continued walking on their own as if they were used to seeing it.
This car is called a pedal car, and it doesn't need to be pulled by animals. As long as someone steps on it, it will drive forward by itself.
I heard that it was made by students in an academy in the Central Plains. If it was more than ten years ago, they would have watched it curiously, but now some business people often use this kind of car, and they have seen it a lot.
Although this kind of car can save a lot of money without using cattle and horses, it requires a lot of manpower and cannot travel too long, and only small traders who can't go too far can use it.
Next to the treadmill, a person walked through the crowd and walked towards a stall on the side of the road.
She was wearing a wind-shielding robe, covering her mouth and nose so that people could not see clearly.
This kind of attire is very common for people on the edge of the desert. It feels uncomfortable to let the wind and sand blow into their mouths and noses. Many people will choose to wear a robe.
Under the man's robe was a brown-gray cloth shirt, and there seemed to be something hanging around his waist, but he couldn't see clearly under the robe.
Judging by her dusty appearance, she should be an outsider who just passed through the desert.
She walked to the stall. This stall is for dry food. Although this kind of dry food is not delicious, it can be stored for a long time. As long as you are full, a piece of cake is enough for one person to eat for a day or two. It is a long way A must-have for anyone.
She reached out and picked up four dry biscuits and asked the vendor, "How much is this?"
The vendor smiled and held out two fingers: "Four dollars."
The man handed out five copper coins and a water bag and said, "Give me another bag of water."
"Okay." The street vendor is a neat person. After taking the copper plate, he helped the man wrap the dry biscuits, and then went to fetch water with the water bag.
A man in a black windbreaker stood by the stall for a while.
"Hey, I heard that the imperial court is going to send troops?"
The passers-by on the road chatted and passed by. People near the border are talking about these days.
"Yeah, there are those Huns who look good."
In the third hundred years of the Wei Dynasty, the Xiongnu invaded the south, and the imperial court sent troops to the north.
