There is no snow here, but every time it rains, the temperature will drop a little further. People can only feel the arrival of winter from such rain. Zhang Ning stayed at Yao Ji for a long time and had dinner together.
The light outside gradually dimmed, and he never asked whether Zhang Xiaomei's attitude towards him had changed, and perhaps he was escaping her.
His mood became depressed inexplicably...
And sometimes he would be full of enthusiasm and feel like the fifteenth century.
It is a great era, with great potential, and I want to work hard to achieve something; sometimes just like now, I feel empty and fragile.
The family in the room talked about very restrained topics one by one, and occasionally fell into silence. He listened to the sound of drizzle and did not want to present his fragile side, even in front of Yao Ji.
At some point, Yao Ji talked about the prospect of reprimanding, and her tone was mostly pessimistic.
Zhang Ning has long known that she is a pessimist.
This time they came out of the mountain and robbed property worth more than 10,000 taels of money and came back, but they could not make people like Yao Ji blindly optimistic.
The waitress next to her lit the candle on the lamp holder, and the light in the room became brighter.
At this time, Zhang Ning said slowly: During the Tang Dynasty, Chinese envoys should have reached the Eastern Roman Empire as far as the distance, and this country is probably located further west of the Dashi...
Yao Ji thought he was going to change the topic first, but she seemed to think that Zhang Ning was making a fool of herself, but she still looked like she wanted to listen patiently.
Most of the noble ladies of the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Ning had seen had such cultivation and were a bit too polite.
He hurriedly explained: I am not talking nonsense. I have read it in history books and called it Fuhua Country.Moreover, the Eastern Roman Empire still exists in the world... Zheng He's ocean-going fleet has reached the East Africa region, and the north should be the position of this empire.
Yao Ji said: The Tang Dynasty has been around for at least five or six hundred years. How can a dynasty last for so long?
Zhang Ning smiled and said: The way of governing the country in distant countries is very different from ours, and their emperor is not a continuation of the same family.According to my understanding, because there are many races in the West for a long time, dynasties of different periods established by a race are collectively called an empire; according to this statement, the countries established by the Han people can be called an empire since the Zhou emperor because they have continued the same civilization.
Seeing that Yao Ji became interested in curiously, Zhang Ning continued: There is Eastern Rome, and there is naturally Western Rome.This Eastern Rome dates back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, a great empire was divided by Rome. Before that, there was a Roman Empire with a huge territory and a long time of existence. The founding of the country was around our pre-Qin period.What I want to talk about is the situation at the beginning of the founding of the Roman Empire.
Yao Ji changed her sitting position, gently placed her arm on the arm of the chair, and smiled and said: What do you want to persuade me today?
Zhang Ning paused and continued: There were two brothers at that time, and the legend was the orphan raised by a female wolf, who lived on a small peninsula.Then he recruited some fugitives and exiled prisoners who were abandoned by various countries. These people were not recognized by the world and had nowhere to go. So, under the leadership of the wolf children, a village was established between the two hillsides.Then the village continued to grow and eventually built a city and became a Roman city.The city of Rome gave the residents of the city a kind of power, called citizenship; then the people of this city were constantly conquering and expanding, forming a huge empire, with the area of the territory perhaps similar to that of our Ming Dynasty, but the terrain was even more complex.The most interesting thing is that because there are many ethnic groups in the country, the territory of this empire seems to be a country controlled by a city in Rome, and the number of people under its rule has far exceeded that of the "citizens" of the city of Rome...
After hearing this, Yao Ji sometimes pondered, sometimes shook her head gently, and looked up at Zhang Ning with some confusion.
There are many different paths in this world. There is no need to restrict ourselves to a customary rule. We can try new ways to fulfill our dreams.Zhang Ning said.
After a while, Yao Ji said softly: The emperor has sent someone here, and his attitude has changed... Maybe your approach is not bad.We don’t have to ‘go back’ for the time being, and we know that we can’t force us.
In this world, living space is all achieved by yourself. Instead of relying on others to seek survival, it is better to seek yourself.
Zhang Ning showed a sneer on his face, and then said, "You will be in charge of all the property I brought from outside the mountain, and you will be sent to withdraw it when you need it to calculate the expense account."There is another thing, the next strategic goal, I hope my mother can provide some help.
After Zhang Ning said that, he asked Xu Wenjun to bring a drawing and put it on the piano table, and pointed at Yongding Wei first: The established goal is to capture this place and open the door to the activities of the cultist to the Dongting Lake Plain to gain greater resources and strength.I had this idea at first, but there were many guards in Yongding, which made me feel difficult. Later, you sent someone to send me good news. The Miao people in Laer Mountain raised an army, which gave us another way to achieve our goal.That's why I withdrew from Shimen County, avoided the conflict with the government army, and led the government army's spearhead to the Miao people in the south.So there is a second strategic goal: to form an alliance with the Miao people.
Yao Ji frowned and said: We still have some contact with the Miao people in Yongshunsi, but it has nothing to do with the Miaojiang area in Chenzhou.I don’t know how to form an alliance and how to convince them?
Zhang Ning stood up and walked a few steps. We had a common enemy, all the imperial governments.The main reason is that I lacked staff and could not find someone who could be competent for the messenger. My mother has been in the church for many years. Maybe she could find two messengers to do this, try to contact them first and then try to connect with them.The Miao people were forced to survive and then rebelled, but they knew it was difficult to succeed. I believe that after establishing the connection, they would gradually become interested in us.
Yao Ji said: In two days, I will choose the right one and let him see you.She turned her head and looked outside the door and said, "It's getting late, you go back and take a break earlier."
Ning had no choice but to turn around and bow, and the son of the minister took his leave.
He came out of the upper room, walked on the corridor in the yard for a while, and finally asked Wenjun to take the gift he had prepared and leave the yard together.
The two of them walked on the road in the village with umbrellas, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk...
Perhaps some people will like the gracefulness of the light rainy weather. Most of them are literati and officials in the city. The road after the rain in the countryside can dispel all the poetry and painting, unless they don’t go out at all.
The two came outside the Chen family's house, knocked on the door and walked in. The owner kept saying compliments, and Zhang Ning echoed a few casually without much wanting to talk to him.
He first took water under the eaves and scrubbed his boots, then knocked on the door of his little sister.
Maybe she had heard the voices outside long ago.
The one who opened the door was Fang Ling, and the Taohua Fairy was also in the room.
The two came up to see the gift, and Zhang Ning gave them a few golden toys and said a few words.
As expected, Zhang Xiaomei was sitting in front of a table and ignored her, not even the basic etiquette.
Fang Ling winked at Xu Wenjun and said: Let’s go back to the room first, and Mr. Ping'an will come over to speak later.
Zhang Ning nodded, and the few people gently made a happy wish, and after going out, they closed the door.He walked over, because the little sister turned her back to him, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
The scene when he just woke up in this world flashed through his mind, and his innocent smile, and he felt a little disappointed for a moment.
Life is full of regrets, big or small, and he remembered the face of another sister who had already blurred in his previous life.
Ning couldn't help but sigh softly.
Suddenly, the little sister whispered: I have already recognized a lot of words, which was taught by Sister Fang.
Zhang Ning hurriedly turned around and saw a book on the table in front of her, so he tried hard to keep a calm tone and said: What are you reading?
Red Cliff Fu.
The younger sister said, and after a moment, she started to recite in a low voice. In the autumn of Renxu, when the seventh month was in sight, Su Zi and the guest were sailing under the Red Cliff.The breeze is coming, and the water waves are not stirring.Hold the wine guests, recite the poem of the bright moon, and sing the graceful chapters...
The nice Nanjing official accent sounds gently in the quiet night, very quiet and beautiful.Zhang Ning walked behind her and wanted to get close to her. He raised one hand and wanted to put it on her shoulder, but was afraid of scaring her.
The light outside gradually dimmed, and he never asked whether Zhang Xiaomei's attitude towards him had changed, and perhaps he was escaping her.
His mood became depressed inexplicably...
And sometimes he would be full of enthusiasm and feel like the fifteenth century.
