Destiny Only Han

Chapter 902 Liu Ying: Doujin forced to kill the original...

"Now it's unbearable!"

After Dou Guangguo finished speaking, he drew his sword and slashed at the thick and simple table in front of him.

when!
The long sword snapped.

Wang Binggong: "..."

I really want to laugh, I have to hold back... Mrs. Fan bit her lip hard.

Dou Guangguo was stunned.

He originally wanted to cut off a corner of the case as the script said, but he never expected that the case was so hard that it even broke the long sword in his hand...

But after all, he has sat in the post of governor for a long time and is used to the storm.

In the next second, he said seriously: "I will not destroy this dormitory, and I will not seek justice for the soldiers who died in the Governor's Mansion. There is such a sword!"

Wang Binggong: "..."

Fan Kang gestured to Wang Binggong with his eyes: "Applause, what are you doing in a daze?"

So, the house was full of applause.

After all, it is his relatives, and it is reliable at the critical moment... Dou Guangguo glanced at Mrs. Fan gratefully, and sat down silently.

Well, Liu Qi, Dou Guangguo's nephew, wants to call Mrs. Fan his cousin. After all, Mrs. Fan's mother is Liu Ying's aunt, so everyone is relative...

Wang Binggong was silent for a while, and asked, "Does the governor mean to start a war against Numidia?"

Dou Guangguo did not answer Wang Binggong directly, but looked at the envoy from Carthage who was staring at him eagerly: "Your envoy has come all the way and worked hard, so let's take a rest first, and I will give you an answer later."

Although the Carthaginian envoy was very anxious, he knew that this was not the time to be anxious, so he saluted again and followed the two guards to leave the meeting hall.

Dou Guangguo waved his hand again, indicating that the rest of the people can leave too.

The "Book of Changes" says that if the ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers;Therefore, a gentleman is careful but does not come out.

The secrets of this kind of national affairs can only be concentrated in a small area.

When the meeting hall became empty, Dou Guangguo walked up to Fan Kang and Wang Binggong, and said in a low voice:
"It's not me who started the war, but Your Majesty wants us to take this opportunity to reshape the situation in the Mediterranean."

"Like Rome."

"Another example is Numidia at our doorstep."

"You must know that the granary of the Mediterranean is not limited to our Egyptian Governor's Mansion. Numidia's food production should not be underestimated, and this is because they are mainly nomadic. If they get the technology of the Romans and switch from nomadic to farming, I'm afraid it will be my rival!"

Wang Binggong nodded slightly in agreement: "I remember Your Majesty said that whoever controls the food controls everyone. Now we are able to make the Greek city-states and Macedonian bow their heads because we have mastered their crucible of food shortage... "

Fan Kang said: "That is to say, we need to break through that Asia first, and then go to rescue Carthage?"

Dou Guangguo nodded: "It's Numidia. But it doesn't matter if you don't remember, anyway, it's up to you whether they survived after the war...According to His Majesty's latest plan, there will be the Empire's African Governor's Palace..."

Wang Binggong wanted to say something, but when Dou Guangguo said that it was Liu Ying's plan, he kept silent.

After all, the construction and establishment of overseas government offices mainly depend on two points.

resources and locations.

Numidia is undoubtedly a resource-rich place, although some assistant officers in the Governor's Mansion who graduated from the Royal University of Geosciences said that the local desertification process seems to be beyond everyone's imagination.

According to them, in another one or two hundred years at most, the grassland there will be swallowed up by the desert, and there will be no farmland suitable for planting...

But it is not important.

Young people of Wang Binggong's generation had a mysterious trust in Liu Ying. Even though Numidia was completely covered by yellow sand, they firmly believed that Liu Ying set up a new Governor's Mansion there because it contained wealth that was extremely important to the Han Kingdom.

So he asked, "What do I need to do?"

Dou Guangguo thought for a while, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Maybe, I need you, the God of Wealth, to raise your hand..."

Wang Binggong's heart tightened, and he asked tentatively, "How do you hold your hand high?"

Dou Guangguo smiled: "It's the application of the Kingdom of Macedonia for a loan of 200 million silver dollars to buy iron farm tools... I know that they don't have any particularly good collateral now, but I will guarantee them, and you will give them the money in exchange for the phalanx infantry to join the war ..."

Wang Binggong was silent.

At this time, the land farming methods in Greece and even Rome were relatively primitive and backward, lacking advanced production tools, and the scale of water conservancy and irrigation projects was small. In particular, they did not master the skills of cattle farming and mainly plowed the land with hoes.

Well, to be precise, they also use animal power for farming, but they don't have proper, proper plows.

So the land was plowed with simple plows without coulters or moldboards.

This kind of plow can dig a furrow, but it can't plow the soil. It needs cross plowing, that is, plowing a second time from the vertical direction to achieve the purpose of plowing the land.

The important thing is that this kind of plow only plays a role in loosening soil and shallow cultivation, and cannot effectively cultivate land suitable for cultivation on heavy clay soil, which will naturally affect the yield of crops.

This is why no matter whether Rome is in the period of monarchy, republic, monarchy or division between East and West, it cannot do without the big granary of North Africa.

But the Eastern Treaty Organization led by the Han Empire is not the Roman Empire that sucked blood without restraint. The Eastern Treaty Organization's program is aimed at peace and development, so it does not hesitate to share advanced farming techniques with its allies.

But Han has too many good things and member countries such as the Kingdom of Macedonia are too poor, so loans are needed.

After all, the iron plowshare pulled by two horses is priced at 1999 in China, but after crossing the ocean and arriving in the Mediterranean, the price is as high as 19999...

So Wang Binggong thought for a while: "Can you guarantee that they will definitely send troops?"

Dou Guangguo nodded confidently: "Definitely. After all, they will always ask us, won't they?"

Wang Binggong smiled and agreed.

But Mrs. Fan asked curiously: "I remember you trained more than 4 local troops? Why do you have to use Macedonian troops?"

Wang Binggong remained silent, but the expression on his face was a little more playful.

Dou Guangguo said with a blank face: "When I came here by boat, I passed by the empire's plantation on Nanyang, and learned a word from there."

Fan Kang asked, "What are you talking about?"

Dou Guangguo continued to be expressionless: "Sugar cane is not as sweet as the two ends."

Mrs. Fan was a little confused: "What the hell? What does this have to do with the poor monk's question?"

Poor monk...the king has too many bows and slots to speak.

Dou Guangguo sighed and said: "You can't require local soldiers to be brave and good at fighting, but also have absolute loyalty to outsiders like you and me... Therefore, they can guard the country and suppress rebellions, but they cannot be used in foreign wars, especially with the Roman Legion. Contest head-on."

Mrs. Fan thought about it for a while, first nodded her head in agreement, but then smiled all over her face: "Amitabha, you are so kind... That's why the poor monk was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to come here from thousands of miles away."

Dou Guangguo frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Buddha said... no, it was His Majesty who said: Don't say it, don't say it!" Mrs. Fan shook her head, her face full of mystery.

Wang Binggong had some guesses in his mind.

After all, his father is Liu Ying's confidant, and so is he, and in order to make this relationship closer, marriage is usually accompanied.

He has no sisters, and Liu Ying has no sisters who can marry, so the only candidates for marriage are Lu's daughters.

In fact, he should call Liu Ying a big uncle.

The reason is simple, his fiancée is one of Lu Shizhi's daughters...

Therefore, he knew a thing or two about the new Buddhism created by Lu Chan.

The difference between the new Buddhism and the old Buddhism is that there are no taboos, you can eat meat, drink alcohol, and marry a wife. The only precepts almost overlap with the secular laws, such as prohibiting theft, prohibiting robbery, etc...

But the crux of the problem is that the new Buddhism preaches the bliss of rebirth, especially the description of the blissful world is far more exaggerated than the old Buddhism!
Such rhetoric as the pool of seven treasures, the water of eighteen merits, gold and silver glass, exotic birds, gems all over the ground, seven treasures everywhere, 32 signs, five eyes and six supernatural powers, etc. are outdated.

Today's new Buddhism mainly promotes the enjoyment of eating and drinking. For example, what flows in the river is not water but rum. People only need to think about it in the Paradise, and they can get silk and satin that only princes and generals can wear, and they can eat it in the world. There are delicacies that you can't eat at all, and you don't need to wash the dishes!
Therefore, Wang Binggong was not clear about how this new Buddhism was preached in the Han Dynasty, but in today’s Egypt, although Fan Kang’s arrival has been less than two months, the native Egyptians that originally enshrined Amon and Horus The temple has been replaced with a smiling Buddha statue.

Maitreya.

It's just that the more Wang Binggong looked at it, the more he felt that the face of the Buddha statue resembled someone...

But this is not important, what is important is that among the people who go to the temple to offer incense every day, there are many native Egyptians with high noses and deep eyes...

Wang Binggong couldn't help but think of a sentence Liu Ying once said.

Religion is an important phenomenon in the process of human civilization. It has a major impact on human world outlook, outlook on life, and values. It can bridge people of different races and nationalities...

So, let's take a step and take a step... Wang Binggong nodded secretly in his heart and asked, "Should we report the decision to send troops to His Majesty?"

Dou Guangguo nodded: "Of course."

Nowadays, as more and more colonies have established telegraph agencies, they no longer need to be stuck in the past to communicate with Chang'an City.

Therefore, Dou Guangguo wrote the resolution formed by the three of them on paper, and immediately pulled out a bell from the grid below the case table and shook it, and the second officer standing outside the meeting hall came in one after another.

"Telephone Chang'an, hurry up."

After the second official left in a hurry, Mrs. Fan looked at the cold fried rice noodles on the table, hesitated for a moment and continued to eat.

He is really hungry...
