"Tell the imperial chef to prepare a banquet, and the palace will entertain the Norman emperor!" A few people next to him saluted slightly, and then left.

"But the necessary security work is also needed, after all, we are different."

"I agree with it."

Randy, who always felt that the emperor of Weifu's private interview was brain-dead, nodded and said: "Willful or casual indulgence, that kind of thing should not happen to us, and we should always take our own life safety as the highest priority." ”

"Randy, you're very good in every sense of the word, but accepting the invitation of another country's ruler and coming alone doesn't seem to be quite different from what you said before."

"Who said that? I also have a very good bodyguard! ”

Sonya, who was lurking in the grass, was slightly surprised when she heard this: "Could it be that Your Majesty has already noticed me?" ”

"Is that so?" Lilianu was skeptical.

"Of course, I trust her completely, so I dare to relax the question of my own safety, otherwise at this moment, Your Highness the Princess, you will not only see a Randy, but a Norman Emperor under the protection of hundreds of heavily armed guards."

"Hahaha...... Randy, you're really kidding, but anyway, you listen to me play a song before the food is ready? ”

"Listen up!"

Lilianu began to play elegant music, which spread from one string to another as the princess's slender fingers twitched, allowing even someone like Randy who knew nothing about music to perceive the beauty contained therein.

It was a feeling of nobility and solitude, pretentiousness, and a heart higher than the sky, as if those wonderful sculptures, picture scrolls, and magnificent palaces belonged to the voice of a princess.

Randy secretly admired in his heart: "It is impossible for such a person to make an empire strong. ”

Although Randy doesn't understand music at all, Randy understands a deeper truth.

Randy understands people's hearts and can understand Lilianu's personality from the tunes played by Lilianu, just like Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya back then, Zhong Ziqi is just a woodcutter who can't read big words, but he can understand the meaning of Yu Boya's playing, because what he is listening to is not ordinary music, but something of a higher level.

Sima Yi, who had an army of 100,000 in his hands, thought he understood the artistic conception played by Zhuge Liang, but in fact he fell for Zhuge Liang's strategy, Sima Yi thought he was extremely smart and absolutely believed in his own judgment, so that he suffered a big loss, which would make Randy also very conceited, but he didn't know whether he really understood Lilianu's artistic conception or fell for Lilianu's strategy.

"It's just an ordinary banquet, it's impossible for the other party to use such a scheming!" Randy thought as the dishes kept coming up.

"It's just an ordinary banquet, there's no way the other party can guess that I used a scheming, right?" Lilianu on the other side also thought while eating.

"Hehehe......" The two young people, a man and a woman, laughed unconsciously.

"I once heard that music can cleanse people's bodies and minds, I didn't believe it at first, but today I have listened to the music and ballads you play, and I believe that the legend is true, Lilianu, you are like an angel by God's side, an angel who has landed in the mortal world."

"Your Majesty is too famous!" Despite saying that, the smile on Lilianu's face could not be concealed in any way, and she was very happy with Randy's appreciation.

The two sides then began to chat......

Just now, Randy thought about the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, so with a sense of mischief, he asked Lilianu: "Her Royal Highness is well-informed, experienced, and knowledgeable, I have something unknown now, and I want to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Of course!"

This will not mean that the West does not understand the meaning of the East, and even less understands that there is something unclear and wants to ask, which is not to say that I really don't know and want to ask for advice, but to sell a pass to test the other party, not to expect the other party to tell you the answer, but to expect the other party to not be able to say it, and then publish the answer by myself, so as to enjoy that superior sense of achievement.

But Lilianu didn't know this truth, and she was quite happy to hear Randy ask this, thinking that the previous conversation was dominated by Randy, and she could only have some upper hand in art, so when she heard what Randy said, Lilianu suddenly became excited.

"This world is not our unknown territory, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to comment, which prince can afford the title of hero?"

"Do you count as infidels?"

"It's not about beliefs and positions, it's about ability."

"Since you say so, is Suleiman, who has clashed with the Eastern Roman Empire several times, won and lost each other, and at the same time developed the Turkish power to its strongest stage, considered a hero?"

"Suleiman is not ambitious, he is short-sighted, he doesn't understand the big picture, and he is not a hero."

"The Eastern Roman Emperor Basil fought in the south and the north, with a lot of achievements and impressive momentum, is he a hero?"

"Basil II was a reckless soldier, a waste of national strength, a lack of flexibility, and a non-hero."

As Randy said this, he observed Lilianu's face and found that the Greek princess not only didn't care at all when she heard Randy comment on her father, but on the contrary, she could see a little happiness between her eyebrows, which made it even more certain that the relationship between Lilianu and Basil II's father and daughter was not harmonious.

"Then the sultan of Egypt, the Sunni caliph Saladin sits on the wealth of the two river valleys, the longevity of Egypt, the prosperity of Damascus, the land spanning three continents, the vast territory, and now it is a holy place of contributions, and the prestige is as high as the sky, this person can be regarded as a hero?"

Randy laughed: "Soon it won't be, this crusade, I must marry Saladin's dog." ”

"There is a character, although not a pod of ours, but enough to be called a hero, this man crisscrossed the steppe, unified the originally scattered centaur tribe, marched west to Moscow, almost destroyed it, and fought a series of fierce battles with the Normans, and finally retreated, how about Ayujie Khan?"

"The Centaur Khan is indeed a temporary choice, but Ayujie Khan has a lot of concerns and indecisiveness, and the Centaur tribe is even more scattered, unorthodox, and not a hero."

"Attila, the king of Hungary, has been in power for decades and has traveled all over the continent with iron horses, can he be called a hero?"

"However, the hero is in the twilight, and his courage has dissipated, so there is no need to worry!"

"The Pope of Rome is called the co-lord of the continent, the spiritual teacher, can he be called a hero?"

"There are only two of you and me here, and I will tell you that the Holy See is only the lord in name, and the territory is scarce, and the army and civilians are poor and weak, which is not enough to undertake great affairs, and I will ...... one day."

Randy laughed and didn't say anything when he said this, but Lilianu's heart was beating in horror,

"At that time, the three great powers of the European continent, King Philip II of France in Western Europe, King Albert II of Germany in Central Europe, and Charles the Bold King of Burgundy in between, can these three be called heroes?"

"Philip II was cunning and suspicious, Albert was arrogant and talented, and Charlie was irascible and irritable, and they were not heroes."

Randy evaluated the kings of the three major European powers one by one, and then Lilianu said that Alfonso, King of Leon Castile, Sultan Arslan of Córdoba, Barbary Pirate Chieftain, King Hayreddin of Algiers, and Archduchess Catherine of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were also vetoed by Randy one by one.

As a result, Lilianu was anxious: "You are not satisfied with all this, you actually want to say that you are the hero, right?" ”

"I can't judge myself!"

"So who are the heroes in your mind?"

"This man is not famous now, but I believe that in some time he will become known to the whole world, the so-called hero of his side, my revenge, the place where this man passes will be bloody and terrifying, and his name will be accompanied by calamity, fear and death throughout the continent."

"Who the hell is he?" Hearing Randy say it was so terrifying, Lilianu was even more curious.

"He is the Great Khan of the Mongols, Genghis Khan, and his son is only a kilogram of Temujin."

"Mongols? Genghis Khan! Lilianu struggled to chew on the awkward-sounding word as she pondered what Randy was talking about as a nation.

"I'd like to hear some merchants from the East vaguely mention that that nation has a certain amount of power in the East."

"Do they claim that their country is the strongest in the East?"

"That's true!" Lilianu nodded.

"It's useless to talk too much, you'll know in a few years." Randy was a little bored, he also thought about establishing diplomatic relations with the Tang State, and even reached an alliance to fight against the Mongols, but this idea was eliminated at the first moment, the Central Plains Dynasty's division of the four years of China and its psychological superiority were hundreds of times stronger than the Romans, and if you establish diplomatic relations with others on an equal footing or something, people must think that you have taken the wrong medicine.

"Then Hongu will wait and see!"

Lilianu's completely inappropriate attitude made Randy understand that this guy probably didn't take what Randy said to heart, but it's no wonder that before it happened, this was a basic phenomenon shown by human beings, slow to act, and lack of judgment, just like a huge bouncy ball that bounced up and was ready to hit the ground The moment people saw it, some tried to dodge, some wanted to resist, but they all only wanted to do it and didn't really do it, it was just a small mental activity.

In fact, the most common thing people do is to stutter up at the sky, wait for the huge orb to fall, and secretly pray that the damn thing doesn't fall on their heads.

Perhaps in the future, Her Royal Highness will be more attentive to the things of the East, and when the time comes, it will further affect her father, and with a little more effort, she will be able to understand what a terrible people the Mongols really are, and maybe the Normans will have one more ally at that time.

After Randy said this, he changed the topic again, told some jokes, told a few interesting stories and rare things, and discussed astronomy, physics, mathematics and other knowledge with the other party, although it is said that Randy basically throws his academic qualifications into the toilet bowl every year, but in this era, even the four operations are considered advanced knowledge, so Randy, a junior high school level talent, can be said to be a high-level scholar, a little talk about solving the two-dimensional equations, can make Lilianu's vision of Randy different.

"I can't believe you're so smart, I've been thinking about something for so long, and you can solve it without much effort, it's amazing."

"These are nothing, the knowledge of the individual can be admired, but for a country, the power of the individual is very limited, and only by popularizing it and reaching a certain amount can the whole country benefit and promote the development of the country."

"Do you mean that those slaves and commoners also need this knowledge? Randy, you're overdoing it! Farmers only need to farm the land, businessmen only need to do business, and knowledge should be mastered in the hands of learning, so that each can perform its own duties, so as to ensure the stable development of a country. ”

"This is indeed a theory, but I think so, history can neither deny the role of some geniuses, nor can it deny the role of some more ordinary people, and the theories and knowledge of those geniuses, if they cannot be popularized, will not be able to have a good role in promoting the country in the end, just like you just said, farmers need agricultural knowledge, astronomical calendar knowledge, botanical knowledge, if a farmer can understand these disciplines, can be proficient in these professional knowledge and skills, Then it will get more revenue, similar to the fact that a businessman needs to use mathematics, a big businessman needs to use philosophy, and a craftsman needs to know physics, geometry and so on, so I don't think things are as you said, mastering knowledge and technology is very important for any industry. ”

"But those industries have been passed down from generation to generation, and they should have their own skills and abilities." Lilianu was also a little shaken when she heard Randy's words, but this medieval traditional concept of each doing its own thing still made her make such a rebuttal.

"Do you mean things like experiences, customs, etc.? It's true that all of those things are useful, but how much of them are scientific? How many are wrong? As if before that I had said that the natives of the New World, they thought that their crops were good because they sacrificed many lives to their gods, which is also an empirical custom, but can you say that it is correct? ”

"Of course not, but those indigenous ......"

"Although those natives have different levels of civilization, they are also human beings, and they will make mistakes that human beings will make, even if you don't talk about them, do you think that the customs that are popular in today's world and our world are all correct?"

"It does make sense!"

In the end, Lilianu nodded a little reluctantly, admitting that what Randy said was correct, but she was a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, what you said is indeed good, but can it really become a reality?" Or is you Norman capable of doing this? ”

"Of course, elementary and secondary colleges were universalized in the provincial capitals of the Norman Empire, as well as in all the major cities, and higher colleges were established in every capital, and there were even higher universities in the capital, in which thousands of scholars taught the people of all classes of the empire, and of course it cost money."

"Hah!"

Lilianu was still a little shocked when she heard the previous words, but she couldn't cry or laugh when she heard Randy say the last sentence, in Lilianu's heart, the place where schools, colleges, and scholars gather and communicate is extremely sacred, how can it be linked to money? This is nothing short of a blasphemy against knowledge.

"Because the Empire's finances are poor! The expenses for maintaining the army, the government, and the royal family are very expensive. ”

"If that's the case, it should be difficult to build the society you are talking about, right?"

"Of course it's very difficult, in fact I think it's basically impossible to get to the level I said at this stage, and of course I don't need to reach that level, just be better than other countries."
