Chapter 43: Madame Shexiang? Madame Curie!
[It's amazing, I found Madam Shexiang in the periodic table. After listening to it, I said, is this Madam Shexiang? No, this is Marie Curie! ]

[First watch the original version of Madam Shexiang:]

[.Across the endless mountains and across the endless sea]

[If the expectation is still there, spring will always come and flowers will bloom]

[Please stay gently and let the dream sweep away the dust]

[The fragrance wafts outside the study, playing beautiful natural music]

[Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach]

[Can anyone tell me, but the sky is calling you]

[A mountain crosses a river, and thousands of mountains and rivers will never make you lonely]

[You have been here for a long time and have been passed down as legend, the azaleas never wither in the hundred miles]

[Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach]

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

As Tianmu's simple yet catchy melody sounded, its unique style, catchy tune, and strong sense of rhythm quickly caught everyone's ears. Even those who heard it for the first time had a very familiar feeling.

The courtyard is full of spring, and a group of girls started humming along with the melody without knowing when, and each of them has her own unique style.

The red cotton girl has a carefree personality. She hummed along with the melody openly and generously, looking sunny, free and confident.

Miss Qingsha is a delicate and weak girl with a gentle voice, which sounds a bit like coquettishness and makes people feel warm.

Miss Gan Tang's voice was rather ethereal and sounded somewhat ethereal, as if it did not come from the human world.

In addition, there were a group of girls competing with each other for beauty. The madam, Mother Chen, looked at the scene in front of her with shining eyes.

In front of Tai Chi Hall.

The music on the sky curtain is very much to the taste of the generals. The style is heroic and unpretentious, and it is not confined to love affairs.

"The music is good, but the lyrics are uninteresting!" commented a civil servant. After listening to so many gentle and mournful music of that era, Tianmu's music seemed very exotic.

"Tsk, this song wouldn't be beautiful if it were paired with those whining sentences!"

"Master Wang is absolutely right!"

Li Shimin didn't care about the comments of his ministers. He was in a very good mood. At this moment, he followed the melody of the sky curtain and clapped his feet uncontrollably.

[This is the periodic table version of Madam Shexiang! ]

[Hydrogen, niobium, hydrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, selenium, rhenium, rubidium, manganese, curium, nitrogen, germanium, arsenic, astatine]

【.】

【.】

[Tungsten, manganese, samarium, phosphorus, germanium, samarium, tungsten, samarium, iridium, osmium, cobalt, strontium, tin, tantalum]

[After listening to this, I exclaimed, Wow, knowledge entered my mind in a despicable way! ]

In Nanjun at the end of the Han Dynasty, even Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others who had been prepared were all dumbfounded.

These words.
Everyone looked at each other. If they hadn't seen each other's awkwardness and embarrassment, they would probably have thought that they were illiterate.

“How come I don’t know these words?”

The so-called periodic table version of Madam Shexiang in the sky curtain is actually just a re-written lyrics using homophones in the periodic table.

But the speed is totally different from the previous videos. This time the rhythm is extremely fast and the subtitles flash by.
So everyone widened their eyes. Before the previous word was finished, dozens of words had already flashed across the sky.

Moreover, there is a number marked in the upper left corner of each word (element), which should be the so-called proton number, and nonsense is marked in the upper right corner, which no one can understand.

Like hydrogen (1 H).

Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched, and he remained silent as he looked at the hydrogen (1 H) he had written on the paper.

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

The clerks in charge of recording had their eyes wide open until they were dry, and they didn't know where to start when they picked up the pen. They were filled with resentment.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to do.

In this situation, the petty clerks would be happy if they could copy only a small half of it.

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead was throbbing with veins. He resisted the urge to throw his pen twice and only recorded three elements.

He looked up at the officials and clerks blinking their eyes below and suppressed his dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, at this time, the sky screen had already started playing again, and Zhu Yuanzhang could only place his hopes on the comment section.

"If I had known this song, I wouldn't have failed Physics [picking nose]"

Don't blame you, go and have fun

This is not Madame Shexiang, but Madame Curie [狗头]

《NiO + H2 = Ni + H2O, make nickel! ! 》

"Displacement reaction, I haven't said this word for at least 20 years"

Song title: Marie Curie, composer: Phoenix Legend, lyrics: Mendeleev

Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat helpless. These people in later generations were indeed more naughty.
But seriously, why do we have to create so many characters that are so difficult to write!!!
This song is quite radioactive

"The problem is that you have to recite them in order, otherwise it won't make much sense even if you recite them [cover your face]"

"Science students only remember hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, and calcium. They don't remember the rest."

Terribly Strong

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Hu Weiyong ordered hurriedly, and the clerks under him started copying quickly.

"These are the names of the first 20 elements!" Zhu Yuanzhang could tell at a glance what these difficult sentences were. Since hydrogen was the first, the rest were listed in order, because the people above also said that it was useless to recite them out of order.

"What a pity there are no elements left!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought regretfully.

In addition, the nonsense in the upper right corner of these elements is not marked, so I don’t know what it means.

"What are the functions of these elements?" Zhu Biao, who had already started copying them down, was also very confused. According to Tianmu, these were must-learn knowledge for future generations.

A number of civil and military officials also began to copy it down. Of course they knew the importance of this thing.

But I don’t know what’s the use of it.

The good news is that we have the key to the treasure house. The bad news is that we don't know where the treasure house is.
What a funny joke.
At the Hexing Tea and Snack Shop, the diners hummed along with Tianmu twice and had already learned the tune.

At this moment, the shopkeeper's mood was dancing happily to the melody.

Mr. Su, a short and fat man with a black mole on his chin, held a tea bowl in his hand, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the free and cheerful melody.

It feels so good to sing to your heart’s content!
During the Zhenguan period, in Chang'an City, Li Shimin looked at the twenty words written with the ink still wet, and was very pleased.

Although I don’t know how to use it for now, at least I have the key to the treasure house, right?

As long as he is willing to study hard, he believes that one day he will figure it out.

There's a lot to be done!

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty was optimistic by nature, which saved a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, if Your Majesty is really anxious to understand the meaning of these phrases, it will be difficult.

These twenty elements were only able to be seen thanks to later generations. A large amount of information is missing, and it is certainly impossible to understand the principles related to them at the moment.

【Why did Chang'an City decline after the Han and Tang Dynasties? 】

[In fact, the decline of Chang'an was a long process. The rise and prosperity of Chang'an was mainly due to the Guanzhong Plain]

[The decline of Chang'an, in the final analysis, is actually the decline of the Guanzhong Plain, or the Guanzhong region]

[In fact, with the development from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties for more than a thousand years, in order to accommodate the increasingly large population, the Guanzhong Plain can be said to have suffered almost irreversible over-exploitation]

[First of all, the forest resources were severely damaged due to excessive reclamation and large-scale urban palace construction.]

[The destruction of forest resources and excessive water use in agriculture and daily life have caused a sharp decline in water resources.]

[Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Guanzhong Plain, which was once known as the area where eight rivers surround Chang'an, has seen a sharp drop in river water volume, and even a dry-up of rivers. Important rivers such as the Jing River, Wei River, and Ba River have seen a sharp drop in water volume.]

[The serious depletion of forest and water resources in the Guanzhong region has brought about even more serious soil erosion problems, causing the Guanzhong Plain to fall into a vicious cycle of flooding when there is plenty of rain and drought when there is little rain.]

[According to statistics, from the Wude period when the Tang Dynasty was first established to the Kaiyuan period when the Tang Dynasty flourished for more than 100 years]

[Chang'an and its surrounding areas suffered 20 serious floods and droughts. In the 8 years of the 100th century AD, during the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there were 37 serious droughts, an average of more than one every two years.]

[The Guanzhong Plain, once a fertile land of thousands of miles, was known as the fertile land of 800 miles of Qinchuan. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, its ecological environment gradually reached the brink of a major collapse.]

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin's smile gradually faded. He had never really thought about this matter carefully.

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the decline of Chang'an had a profound impact on the country.

Guanzhong was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but the problems it faced were somewhat unsolvable.

At least after being reminded by Tianmu, Li Shimin couldn't think of any good solution for the time being.

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an will inevitably attract a large influx of population, which in turn will give rise to a large demand for housing, followed by a large amount of felling of trees to build houses and palaces.

In addition, the housing needs of a large influx of people will inevitably occupy a large amount of arable land, but people still need to eat, which is another sharp contradiction, that is, the arable land is greatly reduced while the demand for food is drastically increased.
And closely related to it is the water transport!

These are chains of conduction.

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned ugly. He looked at Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling, who was always known for his resourcefulness, also frowned.

[Although the collapse of the ecological environment is caused by population growth and agricultural over-exploitation, it ultimately affects agricultural production itself.]

[On the one hand, problems such as water shortage, floods, droughts, and reduced soil fertility have always plagued agricultural production and income growth]

[On the other hand, the growing population has led to an already harsh agricultural production environment, which has become even worse due to the lack of arable land resources.]

[What’s more, after experiencing the continuous wars from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in fact, even the original Han Chang’an City was in ruins.]

[And with the economic development of the Kanto and Jiangnan regions, the economic center of gravity gradually began to shift eastward and southward.]

[This also makes the Guanzhong region, once China's political, economic and cultural center, even more eclipsed]

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, as the subject on the sky screen was now Li Tang.

According to Tianmu, Li Tang's decision to establish the capital in Chang'an was, if not wrong, at least problematic.

The problems it faces are those mentioned above, as well as the problem of water transport.

The route from Luoyang to Chang'an passes through an extremely turbulent section of the river, which causes the cost of water transport to rise sharply.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was nothing wrong with the strategy of making Chang'an the capital. The problem mentioned by Tianmu at this time was nothing more than knowing the subsequent history. It was a bit like hindsight to criticize this decision from the perspective of a later comer.

[Chang'an's almost severe food shortage problem was a major problem that could shake the rule. The main approach taken by the Sui and Tang dynasties was to build the Grand Canal.]

[The grain was transported from Guandong and Jiangnan via Luoyang to the Guanzhong Grand Canal, thus becoming the lifeline for ensuring food security in Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong region.]

[As an important transit station for transporting grain from the east to the west, it ensured that the grain transported from the Grand Canal could be successfully transported to Chang'an]

[Luoyang was vigorously built during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was given the political status of a secondary capital from a national strategic perspective]

[Through Luoyang, the Sui and Tang imperial courts were able to continuously intercept the flow of materials from the vast Guandong and Jiangnan regions to Guanzhong and Chang'an]

[The canal transport route from the Grand Canal through Luoyang to Chang'an passes through the Sanmenxia section of the Yellow River]

[The Yellow River in Sanmenxia was dangerous and turbulent. According to records, it was common for seven or eight out of ten canal boats to be destroyed.]

[At the same time, due to the increasingly serious siltation, the river from the Wei River into Chang'an has become more difficult to navigate, and even has to dredge sand while sailing.]

[The increasingly high transportation costs made the Tang court begin to consider the possibility and necessity of regularly moving the capital to Luoyang]

[The Guanzhong region and Chang'an were in an inevitable decline. Chang'an had in fact lost its basis for being a capital, and the An-Shi Rebellion exacerbated this trend.]

【After that, the economic center began to shift eastward and southward.】

Nanjun in the late Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others could not believe that Guanzhong actually declined in later generations.

That is Guanzhong, a prosperous area of ​​800 miles, known as the Land of Abundance!
The shift of the economic center to the east and south corresponds to the climate change during the Little Ice Age.

It's a pity that it flourished and then declined.

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew what happened afterwards.

With the passing of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an's glory also disappeared, which is indeed a pity.

He actually had some thoughts about Chang'an, but they disappeared at this moment.

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Many scholars and literati in the various districts of Chang'an City also lamented this, and their feelings were extremely complicated.

On the one hand, Tianmu once mentioned that as the pinnacle of ancient dynasties, the splendor of Chang'an City during the Han and Tang dynasties was eye-catching.

On the other hand, it is booming and then declining, which is really a pity.

It's time and destiny.

In front of the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin asked for advice with a serious face, but there was only silence in response.

Fang Xuanling pulled out his beard one strand after another, wondering how he could ensure that with the influx of population, the problems of housing and living for these people would be solved without occupying arable land?
