Chapter 555

Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "Lu Ergou, continue."

Wang Hua didn't know much about the history of the West, or only learned some knowledge from textbooks when he was studying.

Later, I got some information from my subordinates and Dashi merchants one after another, but it was like looking at flowers in a fog.

"Alang, the current caliph of Dashi is Walid, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, but not many." Walid I was the caliph five years ago and came to power at the same time as Li Xian. Wang Hua later came to Qinzhou to take office, and I heard some big food merchants talk about it, but Qinzhou and Guangzhou Still can't compare.So there is not much news.

"Alang, in fact, the current Dashi is different from the previous Dashi."

"Tell me."

"In the past, the Prophet Muhammad founded the Dashi, and the subsequent caliphs were elected by the electoral system. There are four major caliphs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Osman, and Ali. However, since Osman took office, he has vigorously supported him. His family, the Umayyad family, caused dissatisfaction among many people. Othman was assassinated, and his cousin Aviyah, the governor of Syria, opposed Muhammad’s nephew and son-in-law Ali to succeed as Caliph. Finally, Khalifa was defeated, which was also the last day of the Great Food A 'pure caliph', he became the new caliph. 31 years ago, he made his son Ye Zid I the heir of the caliph and began hereditary."

Lu Ergou circled several caliphs in a row, which made Axiu's head hurt from hearing it.

But the current Lu Ergou is not the former Lu Ergou, he knows that Wang Hua attaches great importance to news.Some information, I may not see the effect.However, in Wang Hua's ears, it may become extremely useful information.

In fact, this news gave Wang Hua a reflection.

Not for the eight states now, but for the future of the entire country.The imperial system is definitely not acceptable, just like this Umayyad dynasty.Wang Hua doesn't remember clearly. There were several famous caliphs in the early days, the most famous one is the Aviyah mentioned by Lu Ergou. However, due to the high concentration of power in the hands of one person, the last few caliphs were not very good. That's why this white-clothed food was finally defeated by the black-clothed food.

Wang Hua was not very interested in the rise and fall of the Great Cannibal, even if he became interested, he would not touch it now, at least until the Umali and the Abbasid Dynasty changed from old to new, and the whole Great Cannibal was in chaos. .

What caught his attention was this system. The original form of democracy in China was abdication.In Europe it was the Roman Council, and several "pure caliphs".But in fact, it also proves that in this era, if you copy the democratic system, you will die as fast as you want.

So what is a viable system that can maintain its great power and shine forever?
Lu Ergou continued: "From this Aviyah to this new caliph, there have been six caliphs in this Umali. In addition to Aviyah, there is also the previous caliph Abdul Malik , quickly quelled the civil strife, unified the language, and reformed taxes. This new caliph has a higher vision. I have a strange feeling, just like our Chinese Han Dynasty. This Malik is the second emperor Wenjing, and this Walid is the Han Wu Da Di."

Having said that, he carefully glanced at Wang Hua.

This is to remind Wang Hua to prevent Wang Hua from expanding blindly without knowing the inside information, and leading the army to attack Dashi.

Wang Hua smiled and said, "Continue."

"Although we have talked about the canal, I feel that the prospects are not good."

"It doesn't matter, I have my own discretion." Wang Hua replied.Wang Hua didn't know about this period of history, but he only remembered that the Umali family produced many caliphs, but they didn't last long.Moreover, in 30 or [-] years, he is only in his fifties. Looking at the whole world, this time can wait.

"However, this food system is very similar to Alang's theory. They also value agriculture, but they also value commerce and handicrafts. Their prophets said that businessmen are like messengers in the world, and they are God's reliable servants on the earth. Honest and reliable The merchant will be with the prophets, the righteous and the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection. That is what you call a good merchant. He also said that once you engage in illegal business, operate usury under other names, or seize Oxtail, when you are satisfied with agriculture and give up struggle, Allah will control you with humiliation. Allah likes skilled craftsmen and encourages the development of handicrafts. So Dashi was very backward in the past, and now many technologies are on par with our Tang Dynasty. Some places are even higher. Just like ships, now Dashi has begun to build two-masted ships, which are not much worse than our two-masted ships."

Speaking of this, Lu Ergou looked worried.

This ability to learn can be scary.

"It's nothing, let them learn," Wang Hua said lightly.Without strong theoretical knowledge, relying on practice, progress will not be as fast as you want.Once a few physical chemistry books are thoroughly understood by students in Oceania, within 30 years, they may not be able to advance by 300 years, at least 1000 years.

"By the way, this Walid has also built a powerful navy. Although the warship technology is not as good as ours, the combat experience on the water may be better than our fighters."

This news aroused Wang Hua's interest. If there is no mistake, this will be the beginning of the Spaniard's nightmare.

"Also, their horses are very fast," Lu Ergou said.

"That's right. In terms of long-distance travel, Dashi's war horse is the best, but the fastest horse is not the Dashi horse. It is on the island in the north of Europe. But you still remember what I said, all kinds of war horses are suitable for all kinds of horses. In different regions, the big food horse is the best in the desert, but in the north, the hard-working East Turkic horse is the best. The Tubo horse is better than other war horses on the plateau snow. But in the south of Kunzhou, it is the Yunnan horse. Best. But you can’t always be called Lu Ergou, let me help you with a name.”

"Thank you Erlang," Lu Ergou said happily.

"What's the name? By the way, it's called Lu Xiu." Wang Hua said when he saw Axiu who was standing beside him secretly looking at him curiously: "There is a sentence in the Book of Songs, there is a gentleman who is full of ears. It represents you. From a stone to jade."

"Thank you, thank you," Lu Ergou said happily. He thought it was Lu Xiu, but no matter whether it was Lu Xiu or Lu Xiu, the name Wang Hua chose for him was not too different.In the future, you don't have to call Ergou, Ergou, and you will be annoyed.

--------------------------

It was almost dusk, and the shadows of several trees in the courtyard began to stretch very long.

But there was a burst of laughter from outside the door.

Wang Hua came out happily.

He saw Li Hong, Mu Zili, and Wang Han. They hadn't seen each other for almost a year and a half. Under the sun in the southern hemisphere, their faces were slightly red.

Wang Hua stretched out his arms happily, and Li Hong was the first to meet him, throwing himself into Wang Hua's arms.

Wang Hua picked her up, twirled her, and said, "Can I get used to it over there?"

Li Hong nodded and said "En".

Then Mu Zili jumped into his arms again.

When it came to Wang Han, Wang Han was shy, and was pushed by Li Hong, who also pushed into Wang Hua's arms.

Wang Hua looked at her carefully, and Wang Han was most worried.It wasn't that he was biased, the main ones were that she was in the worst health. In this line of work, she was not only worried about whether she would fit in on the boat, it was not a day or two of travel, but more than two months of turmoil at sea.Not only worried that she would get seasick, but also worried that she would be in danger.

Even now that ships are getting bigger and bigger, and there are many life-saving measures, there is still an accident rate, but only relatively speaking, it is much better than before.

It was for this reason that when he arrived in Qinzhou, he kept Wang Han in Luoyang.

And after arriving in Oceania, will it be acclimatized?It is useless not to believe in evil. Some middle-aged people have very good physical fitness before going to Oceania, and there are serious acclimatization phenomena.

Others can toss, Wang Han's body can't afford to toss.

He asked, "Wang Han, how are you doing?"

Wang Han blushed and nodded.

Wang Hua quietly gave Li Xuejun a signal look. He really doesn't know Chinese medicine, but Li Xuejun knows a lot.

Li Xuejun made a gesture that you can rest assured.

After seeing Wang Han, she found a reason to take her pulse, but found that her illness not only didn't get worse, but recovered a lot than before.However, he has not fully recovered, so in order not to increase Wang Han's psychological burden, he did not speak out.

Wang Hua didn't dare to ask, but just looked at her. She was wearing a long violet dress with twisted golden belts, two chrysanthemum buns on her head, and two long hair hanging down. That noble elegance.Wang Hua couldn't see the body, but the original morbid pallor on his face gradually disappeared, and a layer of healthy red hung on it.

Wang Hua said: "I have been very worried, but seeing you like this makes me very happy."

Wang Han fell in his arms, and also let out a soft groan, but did not speak, and also felt very happy in his heart.

Seeing them happy with Wang Hua, Li Chiying's eyes were hopeful and gloomy.

It can't be said that there is no progress. Now that Wang Hua has taken her in, it is one step closer to confirming her name, but she has not expressed any further.It made her feel suspicious.

Li Hong and Mu Zili looked at her eyes in their hearts, they looked at each other, made a knowing gesture, and pushed Li Chiying over.

As soon as they arrived in Lingzhou, Zhu Dian approached them to discuss.

Wang Hua is not in his teens now, so it doesn't matter if he procrastinates.And it's not Wang Hua when he was a teenager.Not only is it related to the happiness of millions of people in Oceania, but it is also related to the happiness of more than one million people in Eight States.

Therefore, he hoped that Wang Hua would settle the family affairs as soon as possible, so as not to shake the hearts of the people and the army.So he revealed his arrangement, of course he didn't make too much fuss about his identity.It's just that taking this opportunity now, let Li Chiying take over immediately, so that Wang Hua can't get entangled with Li Gu'er anymore.

It's good if you don't get entangled, but if you get entangled, even all the soldiers in the blood camp may be very disappointed.

In fact, Li Hong and Mu Zili didn't have a good impression of Li Gu'er.Although Li Bao'er made concessions later and gradually brought the relationship between them closer, because of her mother, Li Hong and Mu Zili once again held grudges.

Zhu Tong also said another reason.

Now he is not very clear about Wang Hua's thoughts, really not, mainly because Wang Hua himself didn't think it through.But to replace the Tang Dynasty, one must have skills.You can't separate yourself from the Li family all at once. Now that the mistress is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is the king of Qin or the rebellion.It's King Qin, let alone make it clear.Anyway, life and death screwed together.The more confusing the better.After all, Wang Hua was originally just a courtier.

They didn't find anyone else. In Wang Hua's harem, these two women contributed the most. Although they came from a little humble background, they had the most say.

Fortunately, after listening to them, they all agreed.

Wang Hua hadn't heard the news of these people's small actions behind him. Seeing Li Chiying being pushed over by Li Hong, Wang Hua also stretched out his arms with a smile, and hugged Li Chiying in his arms.

After entering the house, Li Hong cooks in person.

But when the dishes were served, everyone felt very strange. Other dishes were better. Why are there so many leek mosses?Stir-fried screw meat with leek moss, fried pepper with leek moss, and shredded beef with leek moss.

Seeing Li Hong serving the last bowl of egg rolls with leek moss, Wang Han couldn't help asking, "Is Lingzhou leek moss famous?"

"No."

"Then why is this leek moss?"

"Want to know?"

Wang Han nodded.

Li Hong whispered in her ear, "Erlang said leeks are aphrodisiacs."

Wang Han blushed, and she whispered, "You little pervert."

"Don't you want to? Or, let Erlang execute you on the spot tonight."

Wang Han stood up and wanted to chase after Li Hong.

After laughing for a while, I sat down to have dinner.

However, Wang Hua said to Li Xuejun, "Mr. Xue, I want to trouble you with something."

"Erro, what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask you to go to Tianshan Mountain tomorrow to find some plant seeds."

"What plant?"

Wang Hua took out a few pictures from his pocket.This was his sudden inspiration after passing through the Gobi Desert. This is a newly emerging topic in later generations, called short-lived grass to control sandstorms.For example, plantain, which are mostly distributed in the area from Tianshan to Urumqi, because they are generally short and short-lived, they seldom attract people's attention.

But these kinds of ephemeral grasses have a very short lifespan, some only three or four months, but their vitality is extremely strong.Even if there is no water source for three or four years in the desert, the seeds will not die.Once there is a little water, the seeds germinate and grow quickly.

This undoubtedly has a great contribution to desert control.

In fact, the environment in the northern and southern Hetao has begun to deteriorate, and the deserts in the southern Hetao have begun to expand, and there is a tendency to connect them into a whole.Beihetao is also not much better, the middle distance from Lingzhou to Fengzhou has been blocked by a section of desert.

As long as Wang Hua is not here, he can't sit idly by here.

"Do you really want to be the Northwest King?" Mu Zili was a little dissatisfied.The sisters just got together, why did they separate Li Xuejun again.

"Without the support of the people here, we would not be where we are today. Let me do my duty for their descendants."

When Wang Hua threw out this sentence, Mu Zili couldn't make a sound.

After making jokes about Li Hong's leek moss again, Li Chiying couldn't sit still.

Li Xuejun looked at her and listened to some unscrupulous girls start to make nasty jokes, and whispered to Li Chiying: "It's not that you come over at night."

Li Chiying jumped up immediately, and said angrily: "Sister Xuejun, you let them lead you into trouble."

Then he looked at Li Hong and the others and said, "You are all little perverts."

"The little princess also knows about little perverts, and she has grown up." Li Hong said with a grin.

While eating, laughing and making noise, the room is full of spring.

————————————————————————

It was a long time since the sun had risen before Wang Hua woke up from the bed and looked at the beautiful bodies lying on the bed.

I thought to myself, no wonder Liu Bei almost stayed in Wu country back then and didn't want to come back.

Gentle township, how many heroes have fallen in this gentle township.

Li Hong woke up, looked at Wang Hua, and asked softly, "Erlang, what are you thinking?"

Wang Hua held her in his arms and said, "I was thinking how difficult life was in the past, and I never dreamed of today. In fact, what do I still lack now? Hegemony is not of interest to me. Wealth is extremely rich, and I don't even think about it today. With you guys by my side, I feel very satisfied now. I want to stop and take a good rest."

"Erlang, don't. There are millions of people behind you waiting for you to let them live a good life," Mu Zili called out.

Wang Hua scratched her face and said, "You, you only think of me as emperor, is it really that easy to do?"

"I don't think it's difficult. When the queen mother was the emperor, she still held a poetry banquet and took the officials to play. Now the emperor, it's even more over the top."

"That's so easy. Let's not talk about the emperor now. It's the empress dowager who is kind to me and the only real female emperor in history. However, she is not doing very well as an emperor. Besides, you can go wherever you want now. Go, once I become the emperor, if you want to be free like this, it will be impossible."

Mu Zili still has to talk.

Wang Hua had already pulled her over and said, "Take advantage of the good time, let's fight another three hundred rounds."

"Erlang, it's dawn."

"It doesn't matter, it's interesting when the sun rises."

Several other women laughed and joined in the fun.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Axiu said: "Master Zhu, Mr. Zhu is in a hurry to find you, saying that the imperial court suppressed all the food."

After Xiao Yaxuan conquered Yangzhou, he did not go north again, but withdrew his ship to the Yangtze River and began to cruise.

Then find the major grain merchants and force them to hand over the grain together.Of course, if you want money and food, you can also pay back the food, but it will take a few months to transfer from Oceania.In fact, this is just a play. Wang Hua has a good relationship with these families, and there is no relationship between forcing and not forcing.This is for the court to see.

Even when paying back the food, Wang Hua did not disappoint them and promised to pay a certain amount of interest.And this time Xiao Yaxuan broke through several cities, and he didn't touch a single hair of these big families.

In this way, 600 million shi grains were raised successively.

At exactly the right time, the Eight States War basically ended.Then transfer the grain to eight states.At this time, the imperial court was under coercion, so they could only watch helplessly as Wang Hua transported the grain to Bazhou.

But now the food has been detained by the imperial court?Could it be that Li Xian and Webster really want to fight to the death with themselves?

Wang Hua ignored Ruan Ruanxiang, and immediately got up.
