Chapter 277 Attaching importance to cultural and technical talents
In August 455 A.D., Qin Dong ushered in more than 1,000 top scholars of the Roman Empire, such as technical talents, architectural technicians, designers, mathematicians, physicists, etc., collected from the intelligence station in Rome City in Saidica. These people can be the most elite of the Western Roman Empire, with these people in Saidica, Saidica can be another Roman city, although Qin Dong is a generation of heroes, but short-sighted, Gaselic only robbed the gold and silver of the Roman city and a large number of precious works of art, but did not rob these top talents, you must not know that gold, silver and works of art can be regenerated, as long as there are talents, these things will not be lacking, and if Qin Dong wants to cultivate so many talents, I don't know how many years of time and money it will take, No matter how this account is calculated, Qin Dong picked up a big bargain, Geseric worked hard, and sent a large army and a fleet, ran all the way from North Africa to Rome City, and only brought back some gold, silver and art, in fact, he picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, and Qin Dong didn't do anything, so he picked up the watermelons dropped by Gaiseric in vain, and ate with a big waist and a round waist.
At the gate of Saidika's city, Qin Dong stood at the gate of the city with the officials of the Eastern Courtyard Dawang Mansion and waited, followed by the intelligence chief Liu San, seeing that he had waited for a long time and the more than 1,000 people had not yet appeared, Qin Dong couldn't help but be a little anxious, turned his head and said, "Liu San, why haven't you arrived yet?" ”
Liu San was also anxious, Qin Dong and the bigwigs of the Eastern Courtyard Mansion had been waiting for an hour. I was afraid that some of the older guys would not be able to hold it anymore, so he also stretched his neck again and again to look around, and saw Qin Dong asking. Hurriedly said: "The king, it should be almost there, so I will send someone to ride a fast horse to the front to have a look!" ”
"Okay, then hurry up and send someone!" Qin Dong is very eager for these more than 1,000 technical talents, scholars, thinkers, philosophers, mathematicians, physicists, etc., with these people, then there is no need to worry about cultural problems in the future, and a nation is not afraid of nothing. I'm afraid that there is no culture, no civilization of our own. Qin Dong knew very well that he might not be able to carry forward Han culture by relying only on the thousands of Han people in his hands. The number of ethnic groups under his rule now numbered in the dozens, and when these ethnic groups came together, they would surely be a place of multi-ethnic integration, as the United States would be. A place where many cultures come together. Without its own unique culture, even if it can build a country, it will be swallowed up by other countries after a few years, and with its own culture, the people will have national self-esteem, and with national self-esteem, nationalism will be derived. What is national is what is global!
Before Liu San sent people to see where those scholars had gone, Qin Dong remembered something again. said: "This time can bring so many scholars and talents from all walks of life, the intelligence station of the city of Rome has a great merit, it must be rewarded, it must be greatly rewarded, and the king's commendation order will be sent to the Roman intelligence station immediately, and three thousand gold coins will be allocated as a bonus!" ”
Liu San hurriedly agreed: "Yes, after receiving someone, I will do it immediately!" ”
It didn't take long to see a black line appear in front of me, and after a while, the black line turned into a black press, and a long serpentine procession appeared, most of them sitting in carriages, only a few on horseback.
After arriving at the city gate, the technicians and scholars on the hundreds of carriages began to get out of the car, all of them looked at the somewhat desolate city wall in front of them with blank faces, but they felt a little more relaxed after seeing the black and welcoming crowd standing at the city gate.
Many people think to themselves, is this where we are going to live in the future? Look at the autumn here is crisp, the weather seems to be pretty good, not very hot, not cold, just a little desolate, and then look at the generals and soldiers standing at the gate of the city, all wearing helmets trimmed with animal fur, helmets are also inserted with bird feathers of various colors, the generals are also wearing red, white, and black cloaks in addition to the shining armor, they look really mighty, the soldiers are holding spears, some hands are holding waist knives, standing straight, not squinting, very energetic, It seems that there is some truth in the fact that the armies of these barbarians are invincible.
At this time, a centurion came to report to Qin Dong, but the escort task had been completed, and now there was nothing to do with him, so Qin Dong said two words of praise and let him retreat.
Qin Dong rode on his horse and spoke to the centurion, so that the technical talents and scholars who had already got off the carriage knew that the young man in front of him was the real master here, although Qin Dong was young, he acted and spoke very calmly, coupled with his tall and mighty figure, which made more than a thousand scholars not despise him, they all looked at Qin Dong to see how the king of the Hun Eastern Courtyard, who was too young to talk to them, would settle them, in fact, many of these people were actually very worried, After all, the image of the Huns has always been fierce and brutal in the eyes of the Romans, and now that they have come to live here, will these Huns be unhappy and kill all of them? This kind of thing is not impossible!
Just when many people were panicking, Qin Dong spoke: "Guests from afar, the people of Saidika welcome you, this desolate land welcomes you, the master here I, Qin Dong, the king of the Eastern Court of the Hun Empire, welcome you, although you are here, but if you don't want to, I, Qin Dong, will definitely not forcibly keep you here, but since you have come, it is better to stay here for three or five months, if you think this place is not suitable for you, You can leave here and go somewhere else, and if you think this is a place worth staying, then let's work together to make this place better, and maybe in a few years, this will be another Rome! I have arranged for each of you to arrange a house for each of you, and when you wait a while, someone will give you a key and a house number, and you can take the key and the number to find your own house, you have come all the way from the city of Rome to Saidica, and you must be very tired, I will not disturb you during the day, and at seven o'clock in the evening, I will have a banquet in the Grand Banquet Hall of the King of the East Courtyard, and at half past six someone will notify you to gather outside your residence. Then there will be a guide to take you to the palace, you don't have to be restrained here, you are free, except for the important departments of the barracks and the town hall, you can visit wherever you want! Do you have anything else to say, or any questions? ”
More than a thousand technical personnel and scholars all talked in a low voice, and then someone asked loudly: "King, as far as I know, not far from here is the Greek province of the Eastern Roman Empire in the south, not far from here is the Thracian province of the Eastern Roman Empire in the east, and the central power of the Xiongnu Empire no longer exists, and the interior is even more divided, there are civil wars everywhere, and many barbarians rebel and attack the territory of the Huns, I want to ask the king, Saidika is not far from the border, will there be a war here?" What if the armies of the Eastern Roman Empire came over? What if other Hun armies come over? Forgive us, my lord, we are so frightened by the cruelty of war, and if there is a war here, we may not have the same good fortune as we did last time in Rome to survive, or we will have to flee again! ”
Seeing that someone asked this question, Qin Dong nodded and said: "This gentleman asked a very good question, maybe this question is one of the questions that you are most concerned about, then I will answer this question now, you gentlemen and family members can rest assured that we have a non-aggression pact with the Eastern Roman Empire, and on the border issue, we have reached an agreement with the Eastern Roman Empire to open border trade with each other, and patrols can be arranged on the border line to patrol day and night, but no more than 1,000 troops can be stationed, Although the Xiongnu Empire has been in civil strife, it is still calm here in this king, and I can assure you that even if there is a war, the war will not take place in the territory of this king, and if this king wants to fight, he will go to other people's places to fight, and he will definitely not let others fight on this king's land!
In addition to the Eastern Roman Empire, the southwest is the Western Roman Empire, but now the new king of the Western Roman Empire, Avitus, is still in Gaul, and has not arrived in Italy to take the throne of the emperor, the entire Western Roman Empire is in chaos, and it is too busy to take care of itself, and it is simply powerless to invade the territory of the king, even if someone in the Western Roman Empire wants to fight the idea of the king's territory, but because of the Alps in the middle, it is not an easy task to go on an expedition, and in the east is Sambus, the king of the southern courtyard of the Hun Empire, This king and the king of Sambus have always been innocent, his territory borders the Visigoths and the Franks in the southwest, borders the Western Roman Empire in the south, the border barbarians are in turmoil, and there is no heart to get along with the king, the north of the king's territory is the territory of the former right sage king of the Hun Empire, since last year he and Deng Zhixik together with Da Dan Yu Erak after the strength of the great loss, the king did not lead the army to cross the lower reaches of the Danube to fight him, he has no strength to fight the king, so to sum up all of the above, This king can tell you very responsibly that Sedika is safe, and as long as this king is not dead here, he will never let the enemy fight here!
