Section 86 Conversation (Part II)

The sound of the immature dog barking came, and before Lao Luo could ask in a stunned moment, five or six small hairy heads ran and jumped outside the tent.

"Third uncle, you're back." Followed by the cry was a small cannonball-Rui Niangzi's daughter Nannan, this little guy is completely different from this other child or indifferent or restrained or timid, but a little indescribable lively, very similar to the children of later generations, maybe because of the loss of her father, she is always very sticky Lao Luo.

"Third Uncle ......" The rest of the little hairy heads also came around, and they were a few little hairy children who were about the same size as the three pigs.

"Wang~" The sharp and short puppy whispered, following the footsteps of a few little hairy heads and rushed over, followed by ...... Hua Biao?

When Lao Luo looked at it, he found that there were seven or eight Caucasian puppies or yellow or gray, which is a good guardian dog, a guard dog, a very fierce large dog, larger than the size of a Tibetan mastiff and the like, according to legend, it can fight with lions, "Nannan, three pigs, who got this puppy?" ”

"Third uncle, this is the fourth lady, they are very well-behaved, don't drive them away, okay?" Nan Nan wrapped himself around Lao Luo and said in a childish voice.

Lao Luo said with some tears and laughter: "Nannan, I didn't say that I wanted to get rid of them, but I just asked, didn't I succeed?" ”

"That's it, third uncle, don't hug this fierce woman." The three pigs huddled around Lao Luo and said viciously.

Hua Biao quietly approached Lao Luo, stuck to his other side, and kept grabbing his clothes with his paws.

Lao Luo stroked Hua Biao's head with his hand, and just when he was about to speak, Li Ji walked in from outside the tent, "Third brother, you're back." You naughty people, go back and listen to Ms. Analia! Right away! ”

"Okay, Siniang, don't be so fierce, Nannan, Biaozi (Bingyin), Bingshen, Bingxu, Sanzhuer, all go back to listen to the class, don't run around casually during class in the future, I'll take the time to tell you stories when I go back, go." In front of the children, Lao Luo plays the image of a strict father, and he will not joke casually.

"Yes, third uncle, Bingyin (Bingshen, Bingxu, Binghai, Nannan) retires." A few little guys, along with the girls, all gave up their hands and retired in accordance with etiquette.

After a few little hairy children left with a group of puppies, Li Ji bowed his hand to Al Heisien, and then sat directly next to Lao Luo, not shying away from the fact that the great sage of Arabia was next to him, and Hua Biao jumped directly onto Lao Luo's lap and hovered his body.

"The little ones have done a good job of etiquette, and it seems that Bartol, you have chosen a good manpower." Alhesin looked at the two with a slight smile, from the time he was in Athens, he had discovered the affection between the two, although the teachings of the Arabs had many restrictions on the relationship between men and women, but he, the great sage, was not an old-fashioned religious person, and he was not even a shallow believer.

"That's right, it's the credit of Siniang and Ms. Analia, I just gave them some rules for their names, but I didn't teach them much." Lao Luo combed Hua Biao's fur with his hand, but praised the beauties around him very seriously.

The beauty blushed, and her mixed-race face revealed a rarely seen coquettishness, "Third brother, don't praise me again, what were you talking about just now?" ”

"We, we just said that there are disturbances in the world, and the people in this world are like swimming fish, the victorious ones get glory, and the defeated ones are quickly eliminated." Lao Luo was a guy with few expressions, but when he said this, his face showed a sense of compassion and pity.

Al Hesian chased after Lao Luo's words and said, "That's right, we were talking about this just now, Li Siniang." Bartol just talked about the rise and fall of empires, and we were discussing whether there was a civilization that lasted for 10,000 years. ”

"Is your discussion conclusive?" Li Ji can't care about being shy, such a topic is also her concern, but not because she is interested in history, but because she knows that the big man she likes will definitely establish a territory, and everyone knows the simple truth of climbing high and looking far, which means that the man she follows will be able to stand high in the future.

"Obviously, there was no result." Elhesian spread her hands, then grabbed the beard on her face with her right hand, "From ancient myths and legends to the last two hundred years, no kingdom can exist safely for more than a hundred years, perhaps we know too little, even the rumored richest kingdom of ancient Babylon only lasted for five hundred years......"

Hearing Al's words, Lao Luo wanted to talk about the Xia Shang Zhou, but after thinking about it, the history of the Xia Shang period is actually difficult to verify, too long, as for the Zhou, the legend is eight hundred years, in fact, the late Eastern Zhou Dynasty is completely fragmented, and it is no longer a dynasty, he continued the words of El Hesian and said: "It seems that this is true, the Persian Empire has about two hundred and seventy years, the Roman Empire has lasted about four hundred years, the most powerful Han Dynasty in the East is only four hundred and twenty years, and the Tang Dynasty has not exceeded three hundred years...... Although the Byzantine royal family claimed to be the continuation of Rome, they were in fact nothing like the Roman Empire in the past. ”

"Is it because of God's will that there has not been a kingdom that has lasted more than 500 years?" Although Alhesion was only a shallow believer, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he said this, because the numbers Lao Luo said were too coincidental.

Lao Luo didn't care, it was very common to classify incomprehensible things as the power of gods in this era, but after experiencing a series of strange things himself, he couldn't be sure whether the gods existed, "I'm afraid the gods don't have the interest to interfere with the changes of human dynasties, I don't know where the gods are, if there are gods, they must be much higher than our level and not what we mortals can grasp, what is the use of the changes in human society to the gods?" , just like we rarely pay attention to the survival of the ants under our feet. ”

"Bartol, you're right!" "To be called a god must be of incredible power, and it is enough for the world to retain respect, and those who act in the name of gods must be secretive careerists." ”

"Al, Al, don't make trouble, you guy, I know you're dissatisfied with the Great Imam's approach, but it's useless for you to say anything now," Lao Luo interrupted the bearded man's words a little helplessly, this great sage was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Shiite Great Imam when he opened Helen, thinking that he was blasphemous, and bringing him out of Kaihelen was just an introduction, the key reason is that his influence in Kaihelen is getting worse and worse, "Okay, it's off topic." Siniang, where did I just go? ”

"It seems to be talking about the timeline of various empires...... Li Ji stared at the man next to him with some obsession, this guy is a killing machine on the battlefield, in this wide tent, he behaves as wise as the philosopher that the teacher said, even the great sage next to him who is said to be respected by the Arabs can't say that he is really a mysterious existence.

Lao Luo didn't pay attention to Li Ji's expression, and now he still has to solve the confusion in his heart, maybe Elhesian can't provide himself with a reference judgment, but the bearded man is a good listener, "Ancient Babylon was rich and extravagant, which caused the greed of its neighbors, and its own armament was not organized and had no ability to guard wealth, and as a result, the country was destroyed by the Hittites; There are different theories about the demise of ancient Rome, but it is always inseparable from the extravagance of the ruling class, the lack of courage of the soldiers, and the invasion of outsiders. The fall of the Persian Empire was simple, and the internal chaos coincided with the attack of Alexander the Great......

As for the affairs of the East, you may not know it, but what I do know is that the fall of the Han Dynasty was caused by the collapse of the dynasty caused by the ruler's exploitation of the lower classes of the people too seriously and the conflict of interests among the ruling class; The reason why the Tang Dynasty collapsed a hundred years ago is very similar to the current Abbasid kingdom, the royal family has lost its reputation and credibility, and the military or military is in the hands of local gate lords, and its demise is inevitable. ”

"Abbas, ......" Speaking of this word, El Hesyan always has some feelings of love and hate, he was born in Basra, but he became a great sage in Fatima, many of his family members died on the banks of the Euphrates, and the internal struggle of the Sunnis is no different from that of the Shiites, "Bartol, you don't have to care about my feelings, the Abbasid kingdom has nothing to do with me,"

"Very well, Al, we will establish a territory of our own in the East, and you don't have to miss the affairs of the Arab world." Lao Luo comforted.

"Nothing, Bartol. You know, from the time I stepped on the ship in Alexandria, I was no longer Al-Hassen, just El Hessin, a scholar from western Athens, nothing more. There was no frustration in Al Hesyn, not even the tone of her voice.

Lao Luo took a small oak wine barrel from the table behind him, and then carried a few clean glasses, there was a low table between the bodies of the three people, the barrel and the glass were placed on it, Li Ji reached out and filled the wine, "Come, Al, for your open-mindedness, for our future territory, a toast!" ”

"Good! Cheers to the territory of the future! "Al Hesyn has already taken a drinking precept, so naturally there is no need to say more.

This wine from Athens is mellow but not intoxicating, although there is no desugaring technology, the taste is very good, Li Ji also likes it very much, but her alcohol is really not good, just take a sip, her face is rosy.

"Well, I'll go on to make a summary of what I said." Lao Luo picked up the oak wine glass and took another sip, adjusted his thoughts, and said slowly: "Looking at the rise and fall of all ethnic groups or countries, there may be various reasons, but in general, it is inseparable from the abuse of power, the corruption of the system and the degradation of morality.

There are too many temptations in the world, and there are too many desires and desires of people, but there is a lack of self-discipline, so in the future, my territory must have a perfect system, that is, the law, and there is no law of privilege, which is the most powerful poison that corrupts a territory or even an empire. ”

Lao Luo's words can be described as idealistic, but this is his idea, there must always be a goal in life, wealth and glory are not the slightest attraction to him, so the pursuit of new self-worth is his best choice.
