In fact, the average life span of people in ancient times was relatively short.
The main reason lies in the lack of medical conditions, including the lack of popularization of this medicinal material.
For most of these ordinary people, even a common cold can kill them.
On the one hand, there is a lack of medicinal materials, on the other hand, there is a lack of nutrition, and there is simply not enough to eat.
So the so-called resistance and the like are simply nonsense.
So at that time, many people's physical conditions were relatively resistant.
Of course, most of this kind of resistance refers to ordinary people who are working hard and doing hard work every day.
In fact, it can guarantee that they have a relatively healthy body.
But when this kind of body encounters a disease, especially the plague in ancient times, this change will almost wipe out some villages.
After every large-scale plague, almost every village was wiped out.
But the only advantage is that this kind of transportation was very inconvenient before. It can be said that many people, maybe not just many people, but several generations, have lived in these villages all their lives.
Never left these villages.
Therefore, the spread and contagiousness of this plague are relatively weak.
However, this situation is not completely applicable to these ordinary literati.
To know.
For these ordinary literati, they actually did not do much physical labor in the whole process, especially when they forgot to eat and sleep, or when they were studying with their heads hanging down.
In fact, most of the time, we are hungry.
Most of these wealthy people, even if they can study, will have relatively good conditions.
They are not perfect and expect to be able to become officials through their own knowledge.
Because for some wealthy households, for some landowners and aristocratic families.
There are many ways for their disciples to become officials. To put it bluntly, they can even directly spend money to buy officials in the end.
They don't need these processes very much, and they have been studying hard since they were young.
But for these children from poor families, if they want to change their lives against the odds, they need to study hard in this very poor environment.
After studying hard, they were made to undergo a series of physical and mental torture during the process.
Therefore, in fact, these scholars in ancient times were not much better than the working people at the bottom.
Although to be honest, their status is relatively valued in this world.
Especially for these people who are illiterate, in their opinion, as long as they can read, they are Wenquxing, gods, and ancestors.
It is in such an environment that for those literati who studied hard in a poor family, they generally have one problem, that is, they are not in good health.
So when Zhang Bao asked them to go to the west to carry out this kind of expansion again.
But I was shocked to find that many people did not go wrong because of the local conditions, but a small number of them died directly on the road.
And because actually for these people, after they had Zhang Bao's idea and Zhang Bao's arrangement, each of them actually wanted to prove themselves very much.
And in the process of proving themselves, they need to keep on going.
They just want to reach the vassal states they have planned as soon as possible.
However, they still underestimated the condition of their bodies.
This continuous journey would be fine if they were only on the Daxia side. The environments they passed through were all deserts.
In many cases, it is actually a situation where water and food are cut off.
They did not consider the harsh conditions of this environment, and while they were on their way, many people died in the Gobi desert.
To be honest, Zhang Bao actually didn't expect even this.
He made the mistake of underestimating the physical fitness of today's young officials.
At the same time, they also underestimated the desire and ambition of these young officials to do things.
But for this situation, this is actually a price that must be paid.
For these people, many of these poor scholars, when they just left, when they came to Daxia to watch, many of them were actually orphans.
Regarding their previous lives, many of them were actually those who had experienced previous natural and man-made disasters and previous wars, and had survived by luck.
And after they survived, to be honest, their full knowledge and the culture they had accumulated before were of no use at all.
Even they have given up on their previous goal of surviving.
Under certain conditions, he was selected and promoted by Zhang Bao.
It is precisely because of their selection and promotion that all of them are now very grateful to Zhang Bao.
But there is no way to express this kind of gratitude in ordinary ways.
They can only make up for it by doing the things they try their best to do now.
And when they found out, they actually realized the situation that they had disagreements with Zhang Bao, and when they really followed Zhang Bao to learn some new things about how to govern the country.
They discovered that when you are in such a high-level position, the previous theories are actually very useful and very conducive to dynastic rule.
But what can really benefit the people is when they actually climb up from the bottom, they realize these new changes brought about by Zhang Bao.
In fact, it is really conducive to the development of these people at the bottom.
Because speaking of it.
In fact, they are not like those previous officials who have never experienced this lowest level of life.
Their starting point is actually based on ordinary people, because the previous officials were passed down from generation to generation and all came from noble families.
During this process, they were naturally unable to understand the living conditions of ordinary people.
At the same time, the starting point of many things they formulated was to safeguard the interests of their nobles.
And since the interests of their nobles are protected, the interests of these ordinary people will naturally be lost.
