"If you haven't been to Seris, you don't know what a real aristocratic life is." This phrase was unanimously endorsed by the Romans.

In comparison, the so-called high society of Rome was simply vulgar, like the barbarians.

At the state banquet of Seris, there was a huge array of dishes - more than 100 different kinds of delicacies made the Romans appetize. The dishes are not only full of color, fragrance and taste, which make people have endless aftertaste, but also use tofu, radish, melon fruit and dough around the plate to carve out beautiful three-dimensional sculptures such as clouds, peaks, and pines, which make people feel that the dishes in front of them are not vulgar and nutritious, but luxurious handicrafts worthy of worship.

The most shocking thing is the music of the Serisians. As the so-called music is a language without borders, the golden drum and bell, the piano and the pipa, the zheng, the flute and the flute...... More than 100 different musical instruments emitted a crisp music that was different from that of Rome, which opened the hearts and minds of the Romans. or soothing and graceful, giving people a sense of tranquility; or the climax ups and downs, which makes people's hearts surge; or soaring, making people fall on top of each other.

After three days of singing, the mood of the Romans could not be calmed for a long time.

It can be said that fine wine and food, fairy music and wonderful dance, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, tea fragrant ink stains, and fragrant car beauties are all the life of the nobles of Seris.

Go to the palatial restaurant to enjoy a mouth-watering delicious meal, go to the Imperial Theater to enjoy a grand musical, find three or five friends to go out outside the city to sing poems and paint, play tea in the chess club, go to the flower street and willow lane to have fun, and go to the Imperial Keju Field to watch a tense and exciting Keju game......

These are the ways in which the people of Seris enjoy life outside of their busy work schedules - this is the superior life that a civilized person should live. And not the monolithic varieties of junk food, monotonous music, vulgar lovers, savage colossal competitions, as in Rome.

In the hearts of the Romans, the life of the Seris was good, and even the poor enjoyed more happiness than the Roman nobility.

Every day, the people of Luoyang, who have slept all night, get up on time after hearing the sound of the clock tower in their respective urban areas and eat at a fixed time. After breakfast, they went to work. The officials of the imperial court lived not far from the official office and could walk to work. Those who live a little farther away are in horse-drawn carriages, and military generals ride horses.

Those wealthy families who do not have cars and horses can rent rental carriages or rickshaws at various intersections in Luoyang City to travel for him.

As for the ordinary people of Seris, because Luoyang, the capital of Seris, is too big, in order to facilitate the travel of the people, Pope Seris also specially laid railroad tracks in the city. At first, the Romans wondered why there were four long iron rods in the middle of the wide street. Later, I realized that this was the track of the Luoyang public carriage. With the help of such a track, the resistance of the carriage can be reduced, and the load of the carriage can be increased. During the day, eight horses dragged on the public carriage tracks were eight-wheeled carriages that could accommodate twenty passengers, either standing or seating. Passengers only need to pay a fare of 5 cents to take the bus to the 40 main stations in Luoyang City.

Public transport is a novelty that makes the Romans both curious and curious.

The question they were most interested in was, if there were no people who were paying five cents for the fare, and there was not even enough forage, wouldn't the public carriage lose money every day?

Xi Zhicai smiled and told them that the public carriage was a public benefit of the empire to the people of Luoyang, and it was not for profit. So the fare is set very low, and the charge is a mere formality. As for the benefits of public carriages, not only is it not a lot, but it is also a lot. The reason for this is that the main source of income for the public carriage is not the ticket, but the banners on the body - the annual income from advertising alone can support the normal operation of the public carriage, and with the financial support given by the empire, the income of the public carriage can be described as considerable.

"Advertising? Support? Stunned, the Romans were tempted to pry open the heads of the Seris to see how they had come up with so many ideas.

In the day of the Seris people, they go to work at the hour of the hour, enjoy morning tea and pastries at the time of the day, have lunch at the time of lunch, use afternoon tea at the time of the denomination, and have dinner after returning home from work at the time of the unitary time. This is followed by an abundance of nightlife.

Every six days they have a regular day off, on which they put on their costumes and go to church to pray, then to an opera or a keju game.

Their lives are intense and orderly, busy at work but comfortable and fun in their free time.

This was the envy of the Romans.

As a result, the magnates from Rome, on the second day of their arrival in Luoyang, learned the model of the Seris and enjoyed the happiness of the Seris civilization. They are drunk and addicted in the colorful and colorful Luoyang City, chasing the beauty they yearn for.

Unlike the magnates who only knew luxury and pleasure, more than 40 scholars from Rome and Athens plunged headlong into the long-admired city of Luoyang, the academy district.

Standing in the midst of the Serisian garden complex in the college district, the scholars of Rome found that the atmosphere here is very different from the prosperity of Luoyang, surrounded by lush trees, flowers blooming, and birds singing like a paradise.

Towering tall and majestic Cyris buildings in the depths of the greenery, they are even larger than the Papal Palace.

At this moment, the Roman scholars finally understood why Seris was so powerful, and still growing—education, and it was because of the great emphasis on education that their civilization would move forward like a carriage paved with railroad tracks.

To the great shock of Roman and Greek scholars, the disciplines of the various colleges in Luoyang are very systematic, including the Imperial University Hall, the Imperial Yanwu Hall, the Imperial Holy Cross Medical College, and the Imperial Academy of Arts, including the seven colleges and universities, including philosophy, economics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, the art of war, medicine, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, architecture, statistics, and more than a dozen majors.

Not only were the Roman and Greek scholars interested in all the subjects here, but there were also many strange things they had never heard of. What surprised them even more was that the Seris also had a special institution of higher learning for women, the Imperial Women's College. The academy is full of female students, and after graduation, women can also enter the court as officials.

This was unprecedented in any country known to the Romans. In this regard, Roman scholars have mixed reviews, some people think that women have long hair and short knowledge, and let them be officials is simply nonsense. Relatively shrewd scholars hold the opposite view, seeing that Syris's perception of fairness is already above that of the kingdom of the heavens, and that giving women the opportunity to learn and embrace power is a transgenerational feat of human civilization.

During their visit to the Imperial University, the Romans, with the help of an interpreter, communicated with the teachers and students in the university hall in stumbling Chinese, and after listening to a few lessons, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the Seris had a wealth of philosophical ideas that were similar to those of the Greek schools.

Whether it is the insistence of the Stoic school, or the inheritors of the Miletus school and the Pythagorean school, without exception, they can find the shadow of their own school in the Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism of Cyris.

Moreover, compared with many philosophical schools in Greece, Seris's philosophical system is more complete, and compared with Confucius, Laozi, and Han Feizi, the ideas of the ancient sages in Greece are so shallow.

Although they can also enlighten the mind and give people ideological and moral guidance. However, in the process of practical application, especially in the process of governing the country, they cannot be directly applied, they are only theories, and the purpose of existence is only to let people know what people should do and what they should not do.

More importantly, the Analects not only defines how to be a moral gentleman, but also systematically explains what kind of monarch is a wise monarch, what kind of courtier is a virtuous minister, how to be called a good son and a good husband, and how to meet the standards of a good wife and mother.

It is not only the code of conduct and moral standard of the Seris people, but also the outline of governance. Under the guidance of it and its derivatives "University" and "The Mean", as well as through the integration of the Church of Our Lady of Lao Zhuang, Han Feizi, Guan Zi and other hundred schools of thought, they have jointly forged the ideological framework of Seris's current civilization.

Cyris's Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism were like a golden key that opened the treasure trove of knowledge that Roman scholars had been hiding for a long time. Roman scholars, with an infinite thirst for knowledge, excitedly absorbed the nourishment of knowledge. In order to facilitate close contact with academics, they simply moved out of the post house in the inner city and lived in the dormitory of the Imperial University Hall. One by one, like a new student, they start from the most basic learning and wander through the major classrooms of the college.

As they deepened their studies, they felt more and more that the knowledge of the Seris was unprecedentedly huge, not only in philosophy, but also in the field of mathematical geometry, and their arithmetic level was hundreds of years higher than that of Rome.

The people of Seris used the most scientific calculation formulas and calculus methods to calculate a more accurate π of pi, with an accuracy of 160 decimal places. They then used this pi to calculate the circumference of the circle, successfully cut the circle into 360 parts, and made a semicircular instrument with 180 precise scales, each representing one degree, and the "angle" of mathematical geometry was born.

With the help of the semicircle, they also correctly deduced the law of the Pythagorean theorem, which is the law of the Pythagorean theorem, and applied it to the fields of construction and shipbuilding.

The Roman scholars were amazed. What was even more eye-opening for the Romans was the superb medical attainments of the Serisians.

At present, the medicine of the Romans is still at the level of Egypt a thousand years ago, and Seris has established a systematic medical system a long time ago, which is divided into nine departments: Dafang Pulse, Typhoid Fever, Women, Small Fang Pulse, Sores, Ophthalmology, Oral Tooth and Throat, Acupuncture, and Osteopathy, which are classified into different categories.
