82_82988 "God will bless you!" ”
The white beard with a messy face, a large piece of crimson vestment is like that, but you can still see the patches that have been repaired densely when you wash and look at it, only the silver cane of the cross you are holding, the quaint wood looks like an old thing, and the cross on the head of the cane is also wrapped with an oxidized black layer, revealing a little mysterious atmosphere
Seeing this tattered bad old man scratching a cross on his chest, Liu Renliang was full of uncertainty, and hesitantly turned his face to the side and asked.
"Two martial artists, are you really sure it's this one?"
Even after a few years of wandering in West Asia, Wu Yuanqing scratched his head uncertainly at this time, and hesitantly looked at the middle-aged Mediterranean businessman who was wearing a black aristocratic robe and smiling with him for a long time before he stumbled and nodded.
"That's right, Mr. Romulo has been working with us for many years, and he has no reason to lie to us."
Listening to Wu Yuanqing's affirmation, Liu Renliang couldn't help grinning worriedly, and waved his hand to order.
"Come on, invite these Roman guests to our fleet to rest, and find a way to drag their ships out of the canal, alas~"
It's no wonder that Liu Renliang was worried, and when the canal that he had worked so hard to dig out, when the maiden voyage was about to finish, the beautiful and enchanting virgin under him was inserted by others, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to be blocked.
But on the contrary, he came with enthusiasm to ask for the guilt, and this uninvited guest was finally invited by himself at a large price, which made people have a seizure, and he was angry and held back in his heart, this is a fighter in depression.
Fortunately, after Liu Renliang and the Minister of Fujian asked the two brothers Wu Yuanqing to entertain these uninvited guests from Rome, he immediately asked people to set up a temporary office tent at the mouth of the canal, gathered his staff, and planned on the spot......
When a group of government soldiers guarding the mouth of the river hummed and chirped on the ropes, and organized the oarsmen on the boat to drag the dead Mediterranean galleon to the shore in a depressed manner, a series of orders from Liu Renliang were already coming out.
"Build a fortress battery at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea of the canal, and the military fort that holds the canal within a month must be completed!"
"From this transport fleet, it is proposed that ten ships will be assembled to form a Mediterranean river protection fleet on the spot."
"Eight hundred miles expedited, send these Roman guests to Khorasan eight hundred miles expeditiously, and the king of Min will drive forward!"
"Whoa!" Kneeling on one knee and agreeing loudly, more than a dozen fierce generals of the sailors strode out of the tent and scattered to run errands.
Don't look at the Mediterranean Galle looks only more than 20 meters long, but it is very heavy, and there is nowhere to find rolling wood in this place, a group of Fujian soldiers and Mediterranean sailors finally dug a diversion trough on the beach on the side of the canal, more than 1,000 people shouted the trumpet, the heavy ship was moved ashore one centimeter by centimeter, and when the ship completely left the channel with the seawater, the sky had become dark.
A round of fiery red sun slowly sinks, the magnificent sunset afterglow spread on the Mediterranean sea level, it looks gorgeous, if there is a poet here, maybe it is a great poem that has been recited through the ages, but unfortunately, the audience of such a beautiful scenery is a group of soldiers, tired for more than a day The soldiers of the Fujian State sat on the beach and panted around the big boat, and there was no sour water.
The seagulls circled in the sky, and from time to time they would land on the big boats that had been dragged ashore and croak, as if they were mocking the stupidity of human beings, and such a large log had to be dragged out of the water with great difficulty.
The hot continental winds began to replace the cool sea breezes to blow westward, making it hot and humid in the tents. In an impetuous mood, Liu Renliang couldn't help but open his official uniform and came out of the tent.
In the rippling canal water, there is also a Mediterranean galleon floating in the water, and the extended oars block half of the river, and if it is not taken away, the Fujian fleet still can't get out.
Looking at the dilapidated Roman sailing ship that was raged by the sea breeze, Liu Renliang couldn't help but sigh again.
"The first voyage!"
May in Suez is still hot, scorched earth, but April in Khorasan is full of life.
The main territory of Khorasan Persia was later Iran, Afghanistan, and part of Pakistan, most of which were landlocked, especially in the Afghan Governorate to the north, where rainfall was only a few hundred millimeters a year, and it was not easy to fill the stomach.
Fortunately, in this chaotic time, the Min State entered the place strongly, and almost formatted the Persian society with the Tuntian method, especially the failure of the Belus invasion to bring down the three major noble families of the last prominent Persia, and most of the nobles were incorporated into the Persian army, scattered and guarded in the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Sulun family was beheaded, the meritorious Kehu family was named a marquis, and the family territory was also relocated to the Tianzhu Province in the Himalayas.
The remaining Persian nobles were either implicated in treason or rewarded, and most of them migrated out of Persia.
The land of Afghanistan and Iran is quite barren, one-fifth of the land is desert, one-half of the mountain plateau, less than one-tenth of the arable land, and the grain production is only half of the land of Pakistan and India.
However, their departure at least facilitated the large-scale planning and governance of Persia by the Min State.
The land of the whole country is concentrated in the hands of Fujian, and there is no restriction on it, and it can be divided by itself at will.
In Afghanistan's Governorate, more than 80 percent of the fields are irrigated with meltwater from the snow-capped mountains of the Hindu Kush Mountains, and most of the tuntianzhuang in Fujian is also built in a large area of lowland south of the mountain range, along the meltwater rivers, and the tuntianzhuang is dotted around.
There is a record in the history of Cambridge that the government organized the peasants to build large-scale water conservancy projects, and the labor production of collective farms constituted the entire Oriental agriculture, and the Fujian State in Khorasan almost developed this kind of collective farms to the extreme, and all the Persians were mobilized to renovate the water conservancy projects that had fallen into disrepair along the river bank, and even some of the soldiers of the Fujian State went to the fields.
In two months, with the joint efforts of millions of Persians, the eyes were full of green.
Patches of wheat grew vigorously on both sides of the road, and in the artificially dug ditches, the blazing water provided life for it, from the city of thirsty water in the northwest, to the city of Mulu in the northeast, and then to Kandahar in the southeast, almost all of the major agricultural production areas of Afghanistan in later generations were used.
Even when the Persian Empire was at its strongest, there was no such grand occasion, and the Persians, who had been busy for more than two months, finally showed a smile of relief when they looked at the endless wheat.
In addition to the Afghan Governor's Palace, the Iranian Governor's Office in the south has also carried out large-scale agricultural reclamation, but Iran, which is full of plateaus and valleys, determines that agriculture must be scattered.
In addition to the mainstream crop wheat barley, for the mountainous Khorasan, after research, Fujian has also given full play to its agricultural characteristics, and alternative grains such as pistachios and dates have also been widely cultivated.
Especially pistachios.
In his previous life, Li Jie Ke was indeed a salaryman, and he had a pitiful living expenses for a month, and he could weigh a few catties of pistachios for a tooth sacrifice during the New Year.
In addition, in the dry Iranian plateau and the mountains of Afghanistan, animal husbandry has also been widely developed, and in one winter, the young goats, cattle, and camels selected by the personnel of the Ministry of Industry of Fujian were sent down, and a large pasture of grazing grass appeared in the hot land of Central Asia.
The problem of grain has always been a matter of life and death, grain has been solved, both the official and the people of Fujian have breathed a sigh of relief, this relaxation, the handicraft industry gradually began to re-emerge, with the supply of grain and vegetables, the abandoned towns beside the road began to be revived.
Persian gold and silverware, Persian stalls, Afghan lapis lazuli and other precious commodities that were already famous for their exquisiteness once again filled the markets of the Silk Road.
Civilization is recovering bit by bit, and Li Jie, who has been busy with himself as a mule for a long time, is also relieved.
An important town in central Khorasan, two miles away from the former Persian capital of Posis, in a lush wheat field.
A place of wheat rattled, shook violently, and kept lodging, and the gorgeous costume became an obstacle at this time, discarded at will, and the two fleshy white bodies overlapped each other, and the sound of fierce gasps, rough movements, and crackling echoed in the endless wheat.
A pair of men and women wantonly relax their repression*.
If this is seen by the owner of the wheat field, he may beat gongs and drums, angrily take wolf dogs, and mobilize the whole village to catch the adulterer, if it is even worse under Islamic law, the adulterous man and woman must be divided by heavy punishment, or even the horrific death penalty of stoning.
However, the great Persia has no safer cheating than this man and woman, the silk woven curtain quadrangular encloses the wheat field, inside and outside the cover of three layers, and even more outer, hundreds of selected from Guanzhong, Fujian, Tibet, Turkic, Persian guards are like iron pillars facing outward defense.
It's a pity, no matter how frightening the defense is, there are still its loopholes, on the dark official road, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded rapidly, wearing a full suit of steel armor, and the iron guard Zanpo who hugged his shoulders like an iron tower, immediately opened his sharp eyes, and held a weighted horizontal knife to meet him, but after a while, the leader of a purple Fujian official robe came into his eyes.
A few moments later, a helpless shout rang out outside the layers of curtains.
"His Majesty the King of Min !!"
