Chapter 199: Political Marriage
Zhang Xun had to admit that this girl's words seemed to open a window for him.
And it's doable.
In the history of Europe, there have indeed been examples of succession that the people of the republic find strange to see.
This is indeed a non-aggressive way of occupation that does not require the use of swords.
If Ying Yang wants to expand, it is absolutely impossible to defend only his own barren land, which is the smallest of the five countries.
It is not only a problem of agriculture, but also a small country that can hardly support an independent and powerful country.
The small size of the country means that the resources within it are limited, and the Eagle is not only limited in resources, but also very single, almost all ore.
This structure cannot be sustained, and Zhang Xun must get more land area.
The bridgehead was not big, but it gave him a taste of sweetness, but how to get the land was a major problem.
As a pacifist, he did not want to invade, besides......
According to Yingyang's financial situation, even if he wants to invade......
I also have a weak heart.
Otherwise, it would not have won only a mere bridgehead in the event of a big victory.
In this case, if more land can be peacefully won through other means, Zhang Xun is never willing to let it go.
"If there was a blood connection between the two kingdoms before, then it would only be necessary to let the other royal family member die completely, and then he can take over in the name of it. When the short-haired girl said this, Zhang Xun was reminded of the casual monk walking the dog in Jing'en Temple.
It's all ruthless.
"What if there is no blood relationship?" Zhang Xun recalled the history of Xia Yingyang and asked humbly.
"Then it can only be a marriage. ”
Marriage.
The word is easy to understand.
Marriage is a reliable way to achieve alliances of power and exchange of power and wealth, which has been done all over the world since ancient times.
Zhang Xun couldn't help but fall into thought.
At this moment, even Xu Xiandong's class on the stage could not attract his attention, and Zhang Xun found that this girl who claimed to be Xu Xiandong's assistant and student did give him very useful inspiration.
For a while, my thoughts were surging, and I really wanted to have a desire to enter the other world immediately.
Zhang Xun took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, turned his head to stare at the other party seriously, and thanked the girl, this inexplicable thank you made the girl confused.
“…… You're welcome. ”
That's all I can say.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. ”
A moment of confusion flashed on the short-haired girl's face, and then finally said, "Cheng Cheng." ”
"Feng Chengcheng, the one on the beach?"
“……”
The girl was speechless, took out a piece of paper, and wrote "Cheng Cheng" in bold and large letters.
The words are very good-looking, but they don't look like they're written by girls, and they're not showy at all, like spiders crawling out.
"It's ugly. ”
Zhang Xun swallowed this compliment, didn't say anything, then politely put away the paper, and then gave her a business card of his own.
At this moment, it is time for the end of the class.
The middle school students in the big classroom left their seats one after another, and it was noisy for a while, and Zhang Xun also gave up the idea of visiting Xu Xiandong first, after all, he was presumptuous.
Cheng Cheng didn't communicate with him more, and got up and turned to leave the moment the class ended.
Zhang Xun wanted to stop her, but he hesitated, but he didn't, seeing that Cheng Cheng naturally stepped forward and started to help Xu Xiandong get something, and that Professor Xu was immediately surrounded by a group of middle-aged men and left with a smile.
The whole process was very close, and there were a few studious students who seemed to want to ask for advice, but they were immediately stopped, Xu Xiandong saw it, but he didn't pay attention to it, and left on his own, a class of people has a class of people's concept of time, and not everyone who is called a teacher has the obligation to popularize knowledge for you.
Well, it's true that the needle can't be inserted.
Water can't be splashed.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xun suddenly felt that his worth was indeed not enough.
Some people, it's not like you can get acquainted if you want to.
Leaving the teaching building, Zhang Xun walked on the campus in late autumn, and in the distance, the factory was spitting out a rich white mist, hovering thick like a dragon snake.
Everything is lonely, the weather is cold, and even people are in a hurry.
In late autumn, the sky is also extremely high, the gray sky is as solid as no clouds, but there is no end in sight, most of the northern cities are rough, the buildings are less high, and the line of sight can be seen far away.
Zhang Xun thought about his thoughts, and simply walked, walking aimlessly, thinking about the marriage.
As a natural person, Zhang Xun is naturally very disgusted with political marriages, but if the subject of this kind of thing is Luke, he feels that it is not so difficult to accept.
For the other world and reality, he has always been clear, Luke is just a carrier for himself to play the game of this kingdom, just like the character in his hand, so even if he doesn't like it, but if he wants Comrade Luke to sacrifice for the development of Yingyang, it seems that there is nothing to hesitate.
"Anyway, it's not me going to get married. ”
Crossing a low threshold in his heart, his thoughts became lively, if it was about annexation, the most delicious ones were the southern and eastern borders, and the eastern frontier was obviously the best choice.
Eastside ...... There's a queen.
Thinking about it, Zhang Xun suddenly found himself unconsciously walking to the White Elephant Bookstore.
He raised his eyebrows and walked in happily, and sure enough, he found the round middle-aged man in the familiar old position by the window.
Gao Shen was holding tea with his eyes closed, and suddenly opened his eyes and saw the young man sitting in front of him.
He was immediately happy and smiled: "How are you so elusive." ”
Zhang Xun smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Let's not talk about anything else, Comrade Gao, what do you think it feels like to marry a queen?"
"Clams?" The expression on Gao Shen's face was wonderful, like a deep-sea catfish.
……
……
When he came back from the bookstore, it was nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xun washed up, first used the black book to imprint a part of the machine tool knowledge he needed to transmit, and then burned a furnace of incense and closed his eyes to practice.
He had recently discovered that he had been able to meditate and enter the Otherworld at the same time as he had trained his meditative breathing skills.
That is, meditation replaces sleep.
He was pleasantly surprised by this new discovery, not because it was not a matter of having more time to meditate, but because it allowed him to spend more time in Eagle Yang again.
After all, meditation can replenish mental power.
Cross the plane again and reach Eagle Fly.
Today, the weather in Eagle Yang is very bright, the summer is hot, and the palace and castle have special cooling devices, and there are even ice cubes, but it is not yet time to use ice cubes.
The Imperial Garden is already full of life, with green grass and colorful flowers.
Not only plants, but with the arrival of summer, the people of Eagle Yang also have a more relaxed demeanor.
Wear thinner clothes.
Especially the palace ladies, even more so.
Different social forms have led to the fact that there will never be a harem Zhen Huan in this world, scheming behind the power and scheming, and the republic will throw off the hard-working and simple Yingyang people for hundreds of streets.
It's a pity that Zhang Xun really doesn't have time to waste on flirting with girls.
He's on a tight schedule.
However, when Prime Minister Levi was quickly summoned to the palace again, the conscientious Prime Minister never imagined that he needed to answer such a strange question.
"Lao Li, do you know that...... Queen of the East, she ...... How old?"
