At the first month of the first month of the first year of the regency (October), Han Xin came to Xianyang Palace earlier than scheduled.

His position is one of the "Lang Zhong Ling" of the Nine Qings, and if you have to talk about it in detail, the Lang guards guarding the Xianyang Palace are all his subordinates. But obviously, this is only honorable, Lang Wei has all been replaced, mainly Anlu people, followed by the children of soldiers who died in the two wars of the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

Han Xin still had to go through a series of procedures to enter this place, and after confirming his identity, he was respectfully invited in and asked to wait here, because the regent was very busy, and set their own time for the ministers to meet with the minister, and now they are discussing with the second secretary of Zhisu and Shaofu.

"Lang Zhongling is coming early." Lang Guan reminded with a smile, but Han Xin said that he did it on purpose.

"I went directly from Yongdi to Shangjun, but I haven't even entered Xianyang, and the twelve gold people have been famous for a long time, so I just have time to take a closer look."

In front of Xianyang Palace, the tall twelve golden people are still standing, each 6 zhang 6 feet high, their faces are different, some have thick eyebrows and gray hair, some have three short beards, their faces are lifelike, six people wear a crown, six people wear a crown, all of them are armoured, or hold a golden halberd, or press the giant sword with both palms, or hold a wooden giant crossbow to shoot......

They were like twelve loyal guards, standing on both sides of the wide avenue in the palace, shocking the people passing by.

Han Xin was also shocked to the point that his scalp was numb, and he looked over one by one, until he saw that his neck was a little sore, and a voice sounded next to him.

"Lang Zhongling, what's the matter, these golden people are as strong as mountains?"

When I looked back, I saw a big fat man dressed as a secretary, with a red face and a smile on his face.

"Zhang Shaofu."

With this size, there is no one else except Zhang Cang, and Han Xin has to salute him.

Zhang Cang looked Han Xin up and down, and said:

"The regent has always regarded his niece as his own daughter, and can entrust it to you, Lang Zhongling is not an ordinary person, not only a talent, but also a military merit that crowns the three armies, in a few years, from a soldier to a prince of Jiuqing, the regent praises you as a national warrior, and it is not a lie."

"Warriors of the country? Is the Regent really saying that about me? ”

Han Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed, but immediately remembered the name of the regent who gave him "Yishan", and hurriedly warned himself not to be proud, and said solemnly:

"Han Xin is just a Huaiyin and has no line of Qian, if it weren't for the regent's appreciation, I'm afraid he would have died in Lingnan, and he would still be unknown to everyone, how could he have today's glory?"

Zhang Cang bowed his head, but pointed at this golden man: "I saw that Lang Zhongling has been ignoring this golden man for a long time. ”

"Han Xin has never seen such a huge thing since he was a small place."

It's like a child who suddenly stands at the foot of a snowy mountain, and that shocking feeling ......

Zhang Cang said with a smile: "The last time I was full of praise for the Twelve Golden People, it was a friend of mine from the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

The regent was still discussing with Xiao He, and Zhang Cang simply talked with Han Xin at the feet of the Jin people.

"My friend's name is Suhektel, I think his name is awkward, he is called Su, he has been in Xianyang for two years, I have learned Greek language from him, and I have heard him tell me about the deeds of Ctessy, and he told me that these twelve golden men can be compared with the seven wonders of Ctessy."

After Zhang Cang and Su Shi learned each other's languages, their communication gradually deepened.

"Su told me that in the west of Bactria thousands of miles, there is a great Greek name Ptolemy, and there is a mausoleum on its outskirts that is sealed with gold characters, made of stones, each dozens of zhang high, in groups of three or two, rising from the desert, I don't know what year and month it was built, anyway, it has existed since the Greeks ever lived."

"There is also a great lighthouse in the Ptolemaic kingdom, built near the port, first with rammed earth to build a three-story platform, and then built with the best stones, reflecting the sunlight with a giant sword during the day, and guiding the ships with fire at night, and the sea ships look from afar, as if they have seen the second bright moon, and there is no danger of getting lost......"

"On an island in the sea north of the country, there is a statue of the god of the sun. The limbs and heads are carved with stones, and the copper is covered, and the body reaches more than ten zhang, that is, twice the height of the twelve golden men. It takes two people to hug one toe, and the torch in the hand is used as a lighthouse, day and night, to navigate the passing ships, because they stand in the middle of two harbors, and the ships can pass under their crotches, but unfortunately a land movement more than ten years ago was destroyed......"

"And between Ptolemy and the Great Xia Kingdom, there is another great country called Tiaozhi, that is, the country that General Li Xin wants to help the Great Xia resist, and its country had a king in ancient times, who built a hanging garden for his concubine, built dozens of zhang of soil, and built arcades and hanging gardens on each layer of it, and raised strange flowers and plants."

The other three, there are the statue of the Greek god Hu Tian, the mausoleum of the ancient king of Tiaozhi, etc., Zhang Cang is not very impressed.

"It's all true?"

Han Xin was stunned, although he used soldiers like a god, he didn't have a lot of knowledge, he was in his twenties, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.

Zhang Cang said: "I don't really believe in Su's words, I think there may be exaggerations, but the regent said that it may be true." ”

"At least the 'pyramid' next to the desert is true, and it is said that the stones of the mountain can attack jade, and many of the skills of the Westerners are unknown to the people of Zhongxia. Wooden structure and lacquerware, I am his teacher, but if it is about stone structure and firing glass, then he is my teacher, especially when building a house with stone, when the world is peaceful in the future and the stone room of the library is repaired, it may be used. ”

"In short, even if the Su family, who has traveled through several wonders of Tiaozhi and Tuoguo, saw this twelve golden people, he was also shocked and inexplicable, and he loved it very much, and asked me if these twelve golden people could have a famous name, and I heard that there was no yet, so I privately named it with the twelve stars deduced by the Greeks after observing the stars in the sky......"

For example, the golden man who held a crossbow and shot strong was named "shooter" by the Su family.

Zhang Cang didn't think much about it at that time, but some time ago, after Heifu entered Xianyang Palace and continued to use this place as an office space, he talked about it, which made Heifu stunned and laughed.

Xia Gong, who was the regent of the great Qin and the Taishi and the captain, almost died of laughter.

Then, Heifu gave the twelve golden people official names, such as the Sagittarius golden man with a crossbow, who was named and said:

"Seiya ......"

Heifu also said that the twelve golden people and the main hall of Afang Palace, the first emperor made people mix things and skills, and the statue of the Queen Mother of the West (Athena in the Greeks) was a perfect match, and I don't know what it means, which made Zhang Cang confused and puzzled......

In short, when the Su family of Daxia entered the Xianyang Palace, he saw the twelve golden people and called it the eighth wonder.

When he saw Ah Fang, Su was shocked by its vast area and magnificence, and called it the ninth miracle.

It wasn't until he was taken by Zhang Cang to the vicinity of Lishan Mountain and overlooked the Mausoleum of the First Emperor that Su changed his words again, saying that there were ten wonders in the world, and Daqin occupied three of them......

Zhang Cang was just funny: "It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to go to the north to see Qin Yan and Zhao Great Wall connected as one, otherwise this wonder of the world will be eleven ......"

But when I think about it, I can't help but be shocked.

Zhang Cang now admits that the Tessie Greeks were also a civilization that was not inferior to the Central Plains, and their attainments in mathematics and astronomy were astonishing. From Tuoguo to Great Xia, the Greek countries combined, thousands of miles from east to west, and their population and territory were not even less than those of Great Qin. And those miracles, inherited from the ancient kings of the previous generations, or established by each country separately, were built after more than ten generations.

But the four wonders of Daqin, plus the galloping road, etc., have stood so many in one lifetime, which really hurts the people too much.

It is no wonder that in the year when Shaofu had the most, the expenditure accounted for two-thirds of the world's revenue and expenditure......

"Therefore, the role of Shaofu needs to change from serving the emperor alone to doing things that benefit the country and the people."

Like Qin Shi Huang, Heifu was also keen on centralizing power, in his words, "concentrating on great things."

However, after concentrating wealth with resources and manpower, the use of the two is different.

In a few years, tens of thousands of dollars were spent to build a great and useless spectacle, and if this money was used elsewhere, how many doctors could be trained who knew basic hygiene, how many looms could be made, how many crafts could be perfected, how many books could be printed, and how many children could be literate......

"The regent deeply felt that the first emperor was too busy to control the people, and after sweeping away the bandits of the six countries, he intended to save harsh things, thin endowment, and not take away the people, the Shaofu would focus on building water conservancy and roads, encouraging childbirth, so that craftsmen could improve their craft, so that everyone could have clothes to wear...... And the conquest will be completely stopped, and for the rest of his life, I am afraid that he will not send troops to the west again. ”

Zhang Cang glanced at Han Xin, who was looking up at the Jin people and was still unsatisfied: "When the time comes, how will the regent take over the military power of Han Xin, who is young and has made meritorious contributions, so that he can live a peaceful life willingly?" ”

Even if it is a bow hidden, it is too early to wait for the birds to shoot out, at this time, Han Xin asked Zhang Cang, where is the Su clan of the Great Xia man with a high nose and deep eyes and curly hair, he has never seen the Hu people of the Western Regions in his life, driven by curiosity, he really wants to take a look......

Zhang Cang only smiled and said: "The Su clan became the guide of the Western Expeditionary Army, and went west to the Great Xia Kingdom, I don't know where the Su clan took Li Xin and others?" Whether or not he had arrived in Great Xia, he had made an appointment with me to entertain me with Greek ceremonies in the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, when the world is calm, I really want to go to Tessie, copy the books and learning of the Greeks, and then see if those wonders are true......"

Unexpectedly, Han Xin answered:

"When the world is calm, Han Xin is willing to go with Zhang Shaofu!"

The young general who is full of great achievements and has established a great name is full of spirit:

"The regent once told me about General Li, and praised him as a first-class soldier in the world, and his military situation and skills are perfect, and Han Xin would like to meet with him."

"By the way, let's also take a look, the many wonders of the other half of the world, whether they are true or false!"
