Men are all.

In this regard, it is the same whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, whether it is old or young.

Mary is delicate and lovely.

In addition, the quality of the handmade felt blanket is indeed more than that on the market, and the young hormonal male compatriots of the Qin State were defeated one by one under the offensive of Xiao Lori's words and expressions, and when the sun was about to set, Lu Jia had to admit that he had underestimated the lethality of this little girl.

Felt carpets filled almost half of the room, but fortunately, the accommodation provided by the Maccabees was spacious enough, otherwise, Lu Jia, the ambassador, would have to squeeze into a room with his subordinates.

The Jewish council began three days later.

The impatient Jewish King David, after convincing the Maccabees of disagreement, began to lobby for the nobles of the various tribes. In the end, under the strong impetus of King David, the ten elders of the Jewish parliament passed a resolution to make peace with the Qin state and make an alliance with the Qin state with seven votes in favor and three votes against.

The elders who supported the alliance with the Qin state were supported by the great merchant Jia Shili, who knew the huge wealth brought by the Silk Road, and as long as there was this trade route, they could continue to absorb more wealth than before, so as to win a better life for their people and their families.

The three votes against were clearly represented by the poor Jewish people, the spokesman of the Antigonus kingdom among the Jewish aristocracy, and the senator, who was the target of the Roman Republic in the Apennine Peninsula, which was looking down on the riches of the East.

The people of King Philip V of Antigonus couldn't make any big waves, and the puppets of the Romans were also targeted by David early, these two hidden dangers are not to be worried, in contrast, King David's lineage, which represents the poor class, makes David and others feel even more frightened.

As with any nation, the contradictions between the nobility and the commoners were acute and uncompromising. The fact that the Jewish nation was polarized had brought the cohesion within the nation to a dangerous level. Joseph was suddenly assassinated after voting against it.

Joseph was stabbed in the abdomen.

Soon after, he was mortally wounded, and the enraged Jewish paupers gathered in front of the Temple Mount and demanded that King David hand over the murderer and punish those behind the scenes. At the critical juncture of his alliance with Qin, a riot enraged the Jewish king David, and the next day he mobilized his army under the orders of the Maccabees. Suppression of the rioters.

Within the Jews, between the two factions, there was an endless fight, and in front of the temple, rivers of blood flowed and cries echoed between the Mount of Olives and the Dead Sea.

Regarding the infighting of the Jews, Lu Jia did not say much, the so-called Senate in the West. The so-called democracy, he is not interested, you must know that in this bloody era, only Shili who holds the power of the military has the right to speak. The rest of the protesters are just weak.

When he left Jerusalem, Luja brought back not only the promises of the Jews, but also five cartloads of felt carpets. The Jewish nobles who saw them off looked at the stacks of carpets that were stacked tightly, and thought that the Qin delegation had fallen for the trick of a little Jewish girl, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in their stomachs.

The convoy of missions headed east.

It is not far from Dongyang City, a new city of Qin in the Syrian plateau. The convoy came to a halt, and the young messengers turned over the blanket stacks, and out of it crawled out a thin and weak dot.

"Come out and see, Mary! Our new city in Daqin. A young Qin man shouted loudly and took the little girl out of the carpet.

"This bluestone wall is really tall, your Qin people's hands are so skillful, Maria must go to the Qin country-!" The little girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and began to mutter.

Riots among the Jews.

For those powerful people in the upper echelons, victory or defeat is nothing, at most it is the death of a few cheap lives, and for a poor child like Maria, it means the whole of life.

It's unfortunate.

Maria's father was a victim of the riots, and the orphaned Maria had nowhere to turn but to find Lu Jia, an uncle who seemed to have a good impression.

――。

Dongyang City.

That is, Damascus, the capital of the Kingdom of Syria, is located in this oasis pearl on the Syrian plateau, which was inhabited by humans as early as 10,000 BC, in the 15th century BC, Damascus was occupied by the ancient Egyptians, and in the 12th century BC, the Aramaic occupied it and overhauled the city's water supply system.

The water of the Barada River flows through every corner of the city through the newly opened underground canals, and the advanced water supply network of the Romans was learned from the Aramaeans, and many of Li Yuan's ideas in the construction of the new Chang'an came from the ancient city of Damascus.

Before the Qin army occupied Damascus, it was ruled by the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom, the Persian Empire, the Macedonian Empire, and the Ancient Kingdom of Sethiome, and as Antigonus flourished on the Anatolian Peninsula, Damascus became less important with each passing day.

The Qin army garrisoned 15,000 troops in Dongyang City, and the guards of this border city were generals, who were several generals in the Qin army: Huan Chu.

This Chudi athlete from Jiangdong is now fully integrated into the Qin army system, and the nearly 3,000 Jiangdong children under his command constitute the backbone of the Dongyang defenders.

After receiving the news of Lu Jia's return from the envoy, Huan Chu led his own troops to meet ten miles outside the city, and several herds of bison that were playing in the water on the banks of the Barada River on the bank of Dongyang City (Damascus) were frightened by the might of the Qin army, and immediately fled towards the depths of the grassland.

The Qin army marched westward.

Seven cities, among these seven cities, Dongyang City, Yanhuang City, Xin'an City, Xiyong City are the most important, among them, Xin'an City has been designated by Li Yuan as the capital of the western part of Daqin, and Dongyang and other three cities are in a semi-circular arc around Xin'an City, they are like stars, protecting the safety of Xin'an City.

Huan Chu naturally understood the purpose of Lu Jia's envoy to the Jewish residence, and he was anxious to ask Lu Jia how the situation was, when he was surprised to find that Lu Jia, a half-hundred-year-old man, suddenly had a young girl who was only nine or ten years old.

"What's going on? Could it be that Mr. Lu suddenly got angry and decided to try a woman of another race, but this taste is too heavy. Huan Chu squeezed his eyes, and his face was full of knowing smiles.

"Uncle, is this big brother sick, why are his eyes always slanted." Maria looked at Lu Jia for a while, and asked Lu Jia curiously.

"Haha, Maria is right, this kid is sick, and he is very sick, and he needs to be cured by Haode." Lu Jia coughed with a smile and said.

The ridicule in Huan Chu's eyes, Lu Jia naturally saw it clearly, and when he was thinking about teaching Huan Chu a lesson, Maria's question made Lu Jia feel good.

"This little girl is really a good person."

Huan Chu's face turned dark, and he silently led the delegation to Dongyang City, he was in the mood to make fun of Lu Jia, but he didn't expect to tease the little girl, and if he continued to fight, it seemed that he would not get anything good to go.

The Marian elves are eccentric.

The spirit of independence, self-improvement, and freedom in Western girls is still obvious in her, and after getting acquainted with the Qin mission, Maria, who has a great interest in Eastern civilization, secretly made a vow in her heart that she must go to Chang'an City, the eastern capital, to take a look, take a walk, and see with her own eyes the prosperity and customs of the Eastern Soil.

――。

What kind of person is Li Yuan?

Mary was curious.

As for Li Yuan, who is bent on establishing a civilization belonging to the Qin people and the East in the Middle East and Central Asia, these days, many things have been disturbed, and there is hardly a time to stop.

Military occupation is only the first step in statehood.

In order to maintain the stability of a political regime for a long time, we must pay attention to such issues as internal political theory, concern for people's livelihood and suffering, development of the local economy, and resettlement of new immigrants.

Sinanseong.

The Tigris roars through the plains and deserts in the summer and autumn seasons, and then all the way south, Zuihou disappears into the waves of the Persian Gulf.

In a corner of the city, a reclamation team of 10,000 Qin soldiers and thousands of local people was digging a canal not far from the river, preparing to divert the water of the river into a low-lying swamp.

The Middle East.

The climate is different from that of the Central Plains, and the weather here is mainly divided into two seasons, namely the rainy season from April to October, and the dry season from November to March.

Flood season every year.

The Tigris and Euphrates rivers are like two roaring dragons, rushing all the way through any houses, trees and even cities, the predecessor of Xin'an City, the ancient Babylonian city has been threatened by floods many times in history, and the glorious civilization created by the Babylonians has also been wiped out in floods again and again.

Li Yuan pulled his trouser legs, stepped on the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the turbulent water rushed in the river not far away, and from the point of view of the amount of water, its rising momentum is intensifying little by little, if the water in the upstream area continues to be so big, Xin'an City will be soaked in floods.

Before deciding to make Babylon City the central city of western Daqin, Li Yuan did not expect that the flood would bring such a serious disaster problem to the two river basins, and the attitude of the Babylonians living here towards the flood made him feel even more incredible.

"When the flood came, we ran to the mountains or high places to hide, and when it receded, we came back." When Li Yuan summoned the local tribal elders in the council hall to inquire about the flood situation and asked how to fight the flood, he received such an answer.

The values of people in the East and the West are different. Orientals believe that "man will conquer heaven", that is, relying on one's own efforts, you can change the natural conditions that are not suitable for survival, while Westerners will say that this is God's arrangement, and we believers cannot go against God's will.

If they want to change all this, the Qin people who came to the Lianghe Valley for the first time can only take the lead in setting an example and teach these lazy local natives with their own practical actions. (To be continued......)
