Sweep the World

Chapter 962: :jealous

People who are obsessed with art don’t know whether they are born or acquired. Most people who play art will appear very simple and have no problem with their IQ, but their EQ is terribly low.

The current Wang Xizhi is not only a nationally renowned calligrapher and great poet, but his literary status in later generations is also very high. The prices of the writings left to later generations are all amazing, and calligraphy circles call it a calligrapher.

Chen Fei had the heart to speak more clearly, hesitating again and again, decided to hide the clumsy. He is only Wang Xizhi's subordinate, not a relative, nor a friend. It is already his duty to remind him, no matter how much it is, it is impossible or inappropriate to do it.

The Ministry of Rites of the Han Empire is infinitely close to the Hongxuanguan in the Western Han Dynasty. In addition to receiving foreign officials from various countries, it also took on the responsibility of spying on intelligence and planning wars.

If you look through the history books, you can find that the Hongxuanguan in the Western Han Dynasty was a warmongers concentration camp, the most famous being the Battle of Ma Yi. The mastermind of the battle of Ma Yi was Wang Hui of Dahongxu at that time.

After the Battle of Ma Yi, the Hongxuanguan in the Western Han Dynasty planned successive wars against Nanyue, Minyue, Zhenyue, Dian Kingdom, Ailao... and so on. Some were successful and some failed. Some wars were even led by Honghe. The army under the jurisdiction of the museum was completed independently, so in history, the Hongxuanguan and Shaofu in the Western Han Dynasty could actually be called "monster" departments.

The only difference between the Ministry of Rites of the Han Empire and the Hongxuanguan of the Western Han Dynasty is that there are no direct troops. In addition, the military needs the assistance of the Ministry of Rites to launch wars. It can even be said that the Ministry of Rites has a lot of influence on whether to fight against which country. Right to speak.

Liu Yan summoned Wang Xizhi to record and write a famous chapter in the evening of the next day, and learned of Julian and Xias’ request from Wang Xizhi.

Leapfrogging reports from the officialdom has always been a taboo. Liu Yan has not yet learned about Rome and Sassan’s request from Lu Yi, the official letter of the Ministry of Rites. Wang Xizhi is only the official system of the Ministry of Rites but directly reported, and such things have already been reported. It's not the first time it happened, and if it weren't for Wang Xizhi's title as a Ph.D., I'm afraid not only will he lose his office, but it won't be any easier.

"I heard that I miss the scenery of Kuaiji?" Liu Yan still saved face because of Wang Xi's post-generation status: "I will let Chang Shi Lang leave."

Wang Xizhi's fluent writing motion stopped, and he looked at Liu Yan cutely, his face full of puzzlement.

Liu Yan would not explain anything, saying that would mean that Wang Xizhi should go back even if he didn't want to go back to his hometown. As for when Wang Xizhi will return to Chang'an, let Liu Yan speak someday.

There were not many people in the side hall. Liu Yan was sitting upright and reviewing memorials. Cui Zong was standing on the side of the case table and was ready to wait on him. Wang Xizhi was sitting on his knees and waving a pen in the corner. The other female officials and court ladies were Stand quietly in the corner.

Cui Cong looked at Wang Xizhi who was writing again with an inexplicable gaze, thinking that Wang Xizhi was quite lucky.

In fact, being an official who did not enter Liu Yan’s field of vision and repeatedly did not abide by the rules of the officialdom. Not only did his reputation prematurely stinks, he was also destined to be in the bottom of the officialdom and was destined to be mediocre at the bottom of his life. Wang Xizhi still has at least a humble official position. Opportunity to enter the inner circle.

The Romans and Persians wanted to see the firearms with their own eyes. Liu Yan wouldn't be surprised at all. If his current status didn't allow him, he would want to go to the battlefield to watch the battle in person.

For those who do not comply with the procedures, Liu Yan's choice is to ignore it.

Julian and Xiasi were still waiting with anticipation. They went to visit Wang Xizhi two days later, but they got a reply from the host family who was packing up and saluting and unable to meet guests.

They stood at the door and froze for ten minutes, staring at each other and smiling constantly.

They can't take a shortcut, they can only go to the Office of the Ministry of Rites outside Miyagi again to ask for another official system in the class.

"The official will be honest." Zhang Qing actually doesn't want to see two crooked nuts. If it weren't for the royal family status, he wouldn't even want to see him: "Two of you, let's go back to the post and wait patiently for a reply."

There are hardly any secrets in the same office. Julian and Xias have just called on Wang Xizhi, but Wang Xizhi cleaned up and returned to his hometown. Not everyone knows the real reason, but it does not prevent them from treating Yulian and Ke, who caused Wang Xizhi to lose office. Xie Yasi respected Bumin.

Although it is not to be seen, Zhang Qing needs to record and report.

The submissions of two foreign royal families requesting to go to the northern Xinjiang to watch the battle were sent to Miyagi two days later, and went through the Shao Dian, Shao Jian according to the procedure... It took another two days before it fell to the court officer's desk.

The attendant is the second official in each department, and the attendant is under Shangshu. There are four servants in the etiquette department, each of whom is in charge of a different field.

Chang Wei is the attendant in charge of contacts with various countries. He glanced at the receipt and put it down.

Wang Xizhi is one of the officials belonging to Chang Wei's authority. When he reaches the rank of minister, he will know more things. It is clear that Wang Xizhi can be "leaved off" by Liu Yan himself because of such a thing.

"Record..." What Chang Wei didn't know was whether Liu Yan disagrees with Crooked Guoren's watching the game before allowing Wang Xizhi to return to his hometown, or simply because Wang Xiyi broke the rules of the officialdom. He pondered for a while, and ordered: "Transfer to Shangshu in three days."

Two days and two days later, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites was pressed for another three days, and it was already the seventh day to wait for the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Yi, to get the letter of submission.

However, Lu Yi had received instructions from Liu Yan a long time ago. The request of Crooked Nutrients to go to northern Xinjiang to watch the actual combat of the firearms has been allowed. As for when the Ministry of Rites will reply to Julian and Xiasi, it is again What kind of arrangement, everything is also preferential planning.

From the formal request to the response, it took a full 20 days.

"The Emperor Han agreed to our request." Julian was somewhat surprised. He thought he would be rejected: "The Ministry of Rites will send a commissioner to lead us."

They have never received a reply, and on the tenth day they dispatched personnel to the front of northern Xinjiang.

The reason is the same. Even if the Han Empire refuses, they will not really give up, but being able to see it in person is completely different from getting a description from others.

The Ministry of Etiquette dragged on for another three days before notifying Julian and Xias that they would set off on the next day.

The two people who knew the exact date were unavoidable that the administrative efficiency of the Han Empire was so slow, until they met with the team of the Ministry of Rites and really rushed to the north, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief.

"The efficiency of the Han Empire in some aspects is amazing." Xias and Julian were in the same car, riding a horse-drawn rail car with special wheels, and they were riding a gallop: "They were in Yuanshuo Nine The construction of this road began in 2000. I heard that most of the road from southeast to northwest has been completed? This road from northwest to northeast has also been repaired to a place called Taiyuan County."

The two national highways that cross the territory in a cross shape are planned for ordinary roads and tracks from the beginning.

The difficulty of road construction on ordinary roads lies in the fact that the road meets water and bridges are built on every mountain. Under the premise of sufficient manpower and the application of gunpowder to explode some sections of the road, it can be repaired much faster than using manpower alone.

It is not a simple matter to build a raceway even on a flat road. How to choose wood and how to make the track splice firmly, but it took a lot of energy and thought.

At present, the places with rail connections are all starting from Chang'an. The one leading to Jiankang has been repaired for less than 30 miles. The one leading to Liaodong has been repaired by nearly a hundred due to the fact that there is a war on northern Xinjiang. inside.

"It's a great invention!" Xias exclaimed as he looked at the scenery that flashed past the window: "How can the Han people have such a fantastic idea!"

Speaking seriously, the Persians are really behind in terms of infrastructure. There are no miraculous projects and epic buildings. I will not say anything. They have never cared about the construction of roads.

It is not without reason that the Persians will fall behind in infrastructure. First of all, they have been on the weak side in the war with the Romans for a long time, and the national money is not enough for the military. Where can the spare money be used for epic projects. Another point is that they are in a special geographical environment, and quite a few areas are either steep mountains or Gobi or desert.

Not to mention building roads in steep mountains and ridges, it is not an easy task even in modern times. In particular, most of the territory of the Persians is on the plateau.

Gobi and desert? Whoever is ill will build roads in that environment.

Various factors have also led to the Persians' inaction on infrastructure, not without love, but incapable of love.

When it comes to miracle engineering and epic architecture, Julian has a proud look on his face.

The Romans' love for infrastructure is beyond imagination. The country is full of roads extending in all directions, and magnificent arenas have been built several times, but the most obsessed is the construction of aqueducts.

The last time Wang Meng led a team to Rome, he was most impressed by the canals that can be seen everywhere, especially some elevated diversion canals.

Don't think that the construction of a canal is a simple matter. Even if the construction of the canal lacks a big picture, in addition to the messy layout, the damage to the river embankment is unimaginable.

The Romans built a lot of canals to show that they attached great importance to agriculture. Looking at them, they not only built various canals, but also built matching water storage tanks. What you can see is the same, but they also understood the water pressure. The original tap water facilities of the human beings on earth enabled the Romans not only to bathe with indoor running water, but also to create numerous sculptured fountains.

After arriving in Chang'an, Julian was most surprised by the scenery. It was definitely the water fountains in various parks or squares. He once suspected that he had come to the ancient city of Rome, not the country in the far east.

According to some records, during the heyday of the ancient Roman city, there were nearly 10,000 water fountains in private or public places, and there were tap water facilities every 100 meters above the street.

The Constantine family moved the capital to Constantinople, trying very hard to build a city like the ancient Roman city, but they seem to have lost some knowledge in the war, including how to build a perfect underground Water pipes (drains), not to mention recreating the splendor of the ancient Roman city with water spraying springs everywhere, that is, the Romans’ favorite bathing can only be supplied by the diversion canal, and you no longer see the tap water from the pipeline facilities.

"It's not difficult for them to drive like this..." Julian was only proud for less than three seconds, and put on a frustrated expression: "Constantinople tried to build according to the drawing, but I could only imitate it. , Cannot be put into practical use like the Han people."

If you want to learn how to cultivate the road, you must at least know how to choose wood, and then learn about physical assembly and power.

Of course, there won't be those clear subjects now, but the principle of knowing the relevant knowledge to do something remains the same.

They rode a horse-drawn rail car to the north, and it was the first time they saw what was going on in the north.

"The Han people are very happy." Looking at the turquoise landscape, Xiasi tried his best to conceal his jealousy: "You can see green mountains and green water everywhere, unlike most of us where there are Gobi or deserts."

For this, Julian chose to remain silent.

The place where the Romans made their fortunes is also good, and it can even be said to be much better than the Hans. They originated on the peninsula, and there is no lack of continents around the peninsula, so that civilization has followed a model of equal emphasis on land power and sea power from the beginning.

The environment of the Italian peninsula is also green hills and green waters. The Romans captured the territory of the Gauls and marched to Spain, occupying most of the flat terrain of Western Europe, and possessing the foundation to become the hegemon of the West.

The Romans were able to have the advantage for most of the war with the Persians for more than a thousand years. Not that the basic disk of Western Europe was not short of crops but also rich in minerals. If there is a grain-producing area like Egypt, if the Persians cannot be suppressed for a long time. , What is the point of incompetence?

"The Han people are indeed a nation that is loved and blessed by the gods." Julian did not feel that he was saying something against his heart or complimenting: "They are not short of whims and ideas, and they have the force to defend this civilization. What just makes me do not understand is that. , Why did they come to this generation to think about heading to the sea?"

Don't say it was Julian who didn't understand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't understand that many people are there.

It was only in this generation that Han people entered the sea, thinking that it was Ah San who was the hardest hit.

I don’t know how many Ah San cried and shed tears. They assumed that the Han Chinese entered the sea during the Maurya Dynasty or the Guishuang Empire. It is absolutely impossible for the Han to achieve the current results.

They took a horse-drawn rail car to Binh Duong County, and then changed to an ordinary horse-drawn carriage to continue north.

Julian learned from the courtesy officials of the same team that the firearms unit that had been launched in advance was stationed in Yanmen County.

"A long time ago, Yanmen County was a barrier to the north of the Han people." Julian really did his best to understand the history of the Han people: "I heard that it was the existence of Yanmen Pass that prevented the prairie people from going south?"

"What? Isn't the Great Wall resisting the invasion of the prairie people?" Xiasi didn't understand that Yanmen Pass was a section of the Great Wall. He didn't intend to entangle this question: "I heard that the Han army has entered the stage of fighting with the Rouran people. How could that firearms unit stop in Yanmen County?"

This question cannot be answered by Julian.
