I Popularized the Pokemons in the Three Kingdoms

"Yes, of course, there is!"

Are you kidding? How could a dynasty that lasted for four hundred years perish just because of this one thing?

"The question I just mentioned is only the first reason."

"The second reason is land annexation."

Lin Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Casey, what you said today is worth a week's worth of words.

"However, the problem of land annexation has existed in every historical dynasty since then. It is difficult to completely solve this problem and can only be suppressed as much as possible."

"To completely solve this problem, we can only do so after the level of science and technology has greatly improved like in later generations."

As an emperor, Liu Hong naturally knew what the term land annexation meant.

Not only did he know it, but he also felt it deeply.

In the present Han Dynasty, no matter whether it is relatives by marriage, eunuchs, aristocratic families, or powerful clans, every force is wantonly annexing land.

He had thought about solving this problem in the early days of his administration.

But later he found it was too difficult and gave up.

Unexpectedly, the situation had become so serious that it could lead to the destruction of the country.

At this time, Liu Hong's face looked very ugly.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who were following behind Liu Hong also turned pale.

As the two most powerful eunuchs in the world today, they have done a lot of land annexation.

But, didn't you expect it to be this serious?

But...

Who in this world who is powerful doesn't do this?

Well...

Should I tell the people below to be more restrained after I go back?

Judging from the situation, His Majesty is likely to make some big moves in the future!

The two of them have begun to become active in their thinking.

"The third reason is natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"This natural and man-made disaster was later called the Little Theo Period."

Lin Yu didn't care about the expressions of the few people and continued speaking.

"Young Theo?"

"What does this mean?"

Liu Hong understood all the man-made factors mentioned above, such as the internal strife between relatives of the emperor and eunuchs, the factional struggles among high-ranking officials from aristocratic families, and the annexation of land.

He really didn't understand this little Theo period.

Could it be that there is some hidden reason behind the frequent natural and man-made disasters?

"Theo Minor is actually a period of dramatic changes in weather and climate. The global climate will enter a cold period, and the winter will be colder than before."

"The climate during this period is extremely bad. In addition to the sudden drop in temperature, natural disasters will also occur frequently. In addition to the serious impact on plant growth, most crops will even be frozen to death, and social stability will be destroyed."

After hearing Lin Yu's explanation, the three people's expressions suddenly became a little strange.

You should know that the idea of the correspondence between heaven and man was very popular in the Han Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The emperor, bureaucrats, scholars, relatives and eunuchs all believed in this.

This leads to a very interesting phenomenon, that is, whenever there is a natural disaster, the three officials will be held accountable for the disaster.

As the saying goes, it means to take the blame.

This has become a routine.

Not to mention anything else, there is no telling how many officials were dismissed from their posts by Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, due to natural disasters.

Now you suddenly tell me that these disasters are actually caused by climate.

Is this really okay?

Liu Hong's mood suddenly became complicated.

"Why did this...little Theo period appear?"

"And why did you appear only in our dynasty?"

"Did I offend God?"

Although Lin Yu said that these natural disasters were caused by climate, Liu Hong still had to take them seriously.

After all, in this era, food is the lifeblood of a dynasty.

The climate determines the grain output.

"That's not the case. The period of Little Theo was not unique to the Han Dynasty."

"Whether before or after the Han Dynasty, there was a period of Little Theo."

Lin Yu immediately shook his head and said.

"After later research, it was found that before the Han Dynasty, from the end of the Shang Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a period called the Little Theo."

"Then, it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Secondly, some later dynasties also experienced the Theo the Younger period."

"This is not unique to the Han Dynasty."

"However, every time the Little Theo period appears, there will be unrest in the world due to reduced agricultural production and peasant uprisings, which will lead to the change of dynasties."

To put it bluntly, this is the standard for the demise of a feudal dynasty!

The demise of feudal dynasties was not necessarily due to Theo the Younger.

But little Theo will inevitably lead to the demise of the dynasty!

Having said that, Lin Yu picked up the teacup and drank from it in big gulps.

I have indeed said a lot today!

Although Liu Hong on the opposite side did not show it on his face, he was already feeling disgusted in his heart.

It turns out it was all because of little Theo...

This damn little Theo...

"In fact, this Little Theo period in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not the most serious."

"There was a Little Theo period in later generations that spanned three dynasties and several hundred years! That was truly tragic!"

Thinking of the Little Theo period that started in the Yuan Dynasty and ended in the Qing Dynasty, Lin Yu sighed.

"What?"

"Spanning three dynasties?"

"Hundreds of years?"

When Liu Hong heard Lin Yu say this, he immediately felt relieved about what little Theo was suffering at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I originally thought that I was the most miserable one, but I didn't expect that there were people who were even more miserable than me.

Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison!

"This problem actually caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion I just mentioned."

"When the weather is bad, the harvest will naturally decrease. At the same time, there will be plagues, droughts, earthquakes, locust plagues... As a result, countless people will starve to death or freeze to death."

"It would be fine if the imperial court could use it for disaster relief, but unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that the court has no money!"

"Land annexation caused the amount of money and grain the court could collect to decrease year by year, and the court was unable to make ends meet."

"In addition, the Qiang people in the northwest have been causing chaos in recent years. We have almost emptied our family's wealth just to fight against the Qiang people, which is even worse."

"Under such circumstances, where would the imperial court get the money to provide disaster relief?"

"But without money for disaster relief, these people will not be able to survive and will naturally become refugees or bandits."

"This will naturally evolve into a new problem: uprising!"

"Of course, the imperial court could suppress the uprising. After all, the Han army was very good at fighting, and the martial virtues of this dynasty were very abundant."

"But if you want to suppress the rebels, you need money! Once the army moves, that's money!"

"Since we have no money for disaster relief, we naturally have no money to suppress the uprising, unless we ask those noble families for help. But if we do that, can the power and the army still be controlled by the court?"

Having said that, Lin Yu looked at Liu Hong deeply.

Lin Yu likes the Three Kingdoms, likes those historical figures who are famous throughout the ages and likes their deeds even more.

Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang...

These characters are not only brave but also full of wisdom and strategy.

However, apart from these, this is also a tragic era.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, even those historical heroes are struggling to survive, not to mention the common people at the bottom of society, who are just numbers in the history books of later generations.

Those thrilling war scenes can certainly make people's blood boil and fascinate them, but behind them are the lives of countless civilians.

Not to mention the cannibalistic Five Barbarians who invaded China later.

And all this is not irreversible.

At this time, Zhang Jue had not yet made his loud call to heaven, and Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, was still alive.

There is still a chance for everything.

As for Lin Yu himself.

Lin Yu has not forgotten the mission he came here for.

He is here to popularize Pokémon...
