19. The she-wolf nurses her baby
Julia smiled and said, "That's pretty much it. After that! More than 600 years later, the Latin kingdom was already very powerful, and King Numitore ruled the country, but it was his younger brother Amulius who really expanded the country. And Amullius had military power and great ambitions, and finally usurped the throne and became the new king, but he was always worried that his brother Numitore would subvert his throne, so he imprisoned his brother in an extremely remote place, and gave his brother's only daughter, that is, his niece, to be a virgin, which means that the prince will always remain chaste and serve God for life. ”
"Oh! It seems that Amulius hoped that the princess would not be able to marry for the rest of her life, not be able to have children, and there would be no more blood of her brother to compete for the throne. ”
Amullius never imagined that the princess had already fallen in love with Mars, the god of war, and was betrothed for life, giving birth to twin brothers, namely Romulus and Remus. Later, when Amulius learned of this, he ordered his men to dispose of the two babies without them knowing. The clerk decided to throw the two babies into the Tiber in the middle of the night, and as soon as they reached the Tiber River, they saw a wolf running towards them, so they quickly dropped their baskets and ran for their lives, and went back to tell Amulius that the babies had been eaten by wolves. But what I didn't expect was that this was a she-wolf who had just lost her cubs, perhaps because of her motherhood, who actually took the basket containing the two babies back to her cave and fed them as her own children. Later, the brothers were brought home from the foot of Palatine Mountain by a shepherd, and when they grew up, they overthrew Amullius and decided to build a new city. After a dispute over the location of the new city and who would be the new king, the elder brother Romulus killed his brother Remus and became the supreme ruler of the new city, naming the city after himself, 'Rome'. ”
Li Xiang exclaimed: "The story you said is much more wonderful than the version I have heard before. ”
"The cave we are in now is the original site of the 'she-wolf nursery'."
"Wow! Then it will not become a tourist attraction in the future. ”
"Huh? What did you say? ”
"Oh! After listening to your story, I think it is better to add two nursing children under the sculpture of this she-wolf, which will make this history more understandable. ”
Julia nodded and said, "Your suggestion is really good, so that it can be seen at a glance." ”
"Of course!" Li Xiang boasted.
"Why don't you tell your father your suggestion tonight, and let him talk to the senators at the regular meeting of the Senate tomorrow, and add two nursing children under the belly of this she-wolf."
Li Xiang thought to himself: I really didn't expect that the future city symbol of Rome would come from his own unintentional words.

Li Xiang and Julia stand on the top of Palatine Hill with a panoramic view of the city of Rome.
As far as the eye can see, all kinds of buildings line the streets, but in the eyes of Li Xiang, a businessman, the house is not just a building made of stone, but a symbol of wealth.
Li Xiang looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at the city of Rome under the mountain, and suddenly felt that the unique "wealth nerves" in his body were shaking violently, as if he was on top of a huge treasure, so he was overjoyed: "Get rich!" Get rich! ”
"'Fortune'?" Julia frowned as she spoke.
"Julia, you know what? The place we are standing in is a treasure trove of feng shui in Rome! ”
"Really? In addition to being able to overlook the city of Rome, I don't think there is anything good about it, let alone any feng shui treasure! ”
"Huh! Anyway, I won't be able to explain it to you for a while, in short, I have obtained the golden key to open the door of wealth, and I will open it when the time comes. ”
Julia looked at the land beneath her feet and thought, "I have never heard of any treasure hidden in this Palatine Mountain!" Could it be that Li thinks he has divine eyes and can see through everything underground? Found a huge treasure left by our ancestors underneath?

After more than half a month of tiring cars, dozens of people, including "Senior Qincha" Li Xiang and "Princess" Julia, came to Athens, a metropolis located in the Attica Peninsula.
The city of Athens is a romantic and beautiful city surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, with the Kiphys and Ilisos rivers running through the city, and is known as the "Pearl of the Aegean Sea".
It is worth mentioning that Athens has had a significant impact on European and world culture, and has been known as the "cradle of Western civilization" since ancient times.
As a large city-state that existed as early as the 8th century BC and the center of ancient Greek industry, commerce and culture, Athens was rich and prosperous enough to become one of the four major cities of the ancient world.
According to legend, Athens was named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
N years ago, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, were at loggerheads for the position of protector of a city-state. After that, the main god Zeus decided that whoever could give humanity something useful, the city would belong to whomever it was.
The god of the sea gave mankind a war horse to symbolize war, while Athena, the goddess of wisdom, offered mankind an olive tree with lush foliage and fruit, which symbolized peace. Because the people were eager for peace and hated war, the city-state eventually belonged to the goddess Athena. From then on, she became the patron saint of Athens, from which Athens got its name.
Since then, Athena's priesthood has been adjusted accordingly, from the original goddess of wisdom to the god of the city, and later people also regarded Athens as the "capital of peace".

Since the establishment of "special administrative regions" in several provinces in Greece, that is, the Greek autonomous regions, and the election of Greek governors have been widely circulated throughout the Greek region, the Greek people naturally have a good impression of Li Xiang, the minister who put forward the bill of "Greek rule of Greece" in the Senate, and they are looking forward to it. Of course, the busiest are those wealthy businessmen who are "interested in politics", which can be described as "shrimp has a shrimp road, and crabs have a crab road", and they are all trying to inquire about the background and personal preferences of the Qin Cha through their respective connections and channels, in order to be able to do what they like and pave the way for their future careers.
Under the careful arrangement of Alberti, the governor of the Greek region, the main streets of Athens were repainted.
On the day Li wanted to enter the city, the city of Athens can be described as a sea of people, the grand occasion is unprecedented, the people are in the middle of the road to welcome, such a grand occasion, in the centuries of Athenian history, there have only been twice, the last time was more than 400 years ago according to the "chief general" (ruler) Pericles triumphantly returned, but Pericles was a Greek after all, and this time the whole city residents poured out to welcome the former conqueror, the Romans sent the chincha, This could not but surprise the governors and governors of the time, who were also Romans.
In fact, the thinking of the vast majority of people in this world is very simple, as long as anyone can give themselves "hope", they will "vote" for whom.
Regarding "hope", Alexander the Great of Greece once said during his expedition to Persia, "I keep my hope to myself, and it will give me infinite riches!" ”
