    "This is the spear used by Darius I, the famous emperor in the history of the Persian Empire!" Feng Changqing was very excited, and his voice was so high that he almost jumped up: "I have asked about it, Darius I  He was a famous emperor of Persia. When he became emperor, he eradicated long-standing abuses and was a great emperor! It was in his hands that the Persian Empire became strong and powerful."

    "Oh my god! It's actually his weapon!" Chen Wanrong never expected that such an important cultural relic would make his hands tremble slightly with excitement.  This is luck and even more the glory of success!

    Chen Wanrong's history is not very good, but I have heard of the names of Cyrus, the founder of the Persian Empire, and Darius I, the famous reformer in the history of the Persian Empire. Although I don't know much about their deeds,  I also heard a little bit about it.

    Cyrus founded the Persian Empire. During his reign as emperor, he launched attacks on all sides and launched massive conquests, which greatly expanded the territory of the Persian Empire, reaching the Aegean Sea in the west, the Indus River in the east, the Nile River in the south, and the Caucasus in the north.  He proudly declared "I, Cyrus, King of the World, the Great King!"

    The birthplace of the Persian Empire is in what is now Iran, in the southwest of the Iranian Plateau.  Cyrus was just a small prince here at the time, but it was indeed a miracle that he actually created a huge empire that had a great influence on later generations.

    Later, Cyrus died in battle, and his son succeeded to the throne, but died mysteriously.  After some twists and turns, the throne fell into the hands of Darius I.  Darius I reigned for thirty-seven years. During this period, he first suppressed the rebel forces in various places, and then carried out reforms, allowing the conquered areas to maintain a certain degree of autonomy while recognizing the dominance of the Persian Empire. This is the history of Darius I.  The famous "great unification, small autonomy" soon made various places settle down.

    His reforms mainly included several aspects: First, he carried out military reforms to separate administration and military affairs and make them not subordinate to each other.  The separation of military and political affairs was a measure that was only implemented in China during the Song Dynasty. This was a pioneering initiative.

    The second is to establish an elite army and create an elite "immortal team".  He also divided the empire into five major military districts for easier management.

    Third, he implemented a tax farming system, which had a great impact on the later West.  Of course, this move is also very harmful. It commercializes national taxation, and tax collectors will increase taxes and exploit the people.  In the West, there was a time when people were in trouble.

    Fourth, it develops transportation and maintains stability, which greatly promotes the development of business.  It is said that he especially liked to eat fresh fish from the Aegean Sea, so he built a "Royal Road" from the Aegean Sea to Susa, the capital of the empire.  There were inns along the way, and soldiers were sent to protect them. The public security was good, which soon promoted the great development of commerce.

    It used to take dozens of days to travel from the Aegean Sea to Susa, but now it only takes three days to get there. It cannot be said that it is not a good thing with endless benefits.  When the "Silk Road" was opened, this road became the western section of the Silk Road.

    The fifth is to unify weights and measures and unify the currency system.

    After the reforms of Darius, the Persian Empire became unparalleledly powerful, with a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population.  Three of the five birthplaces of civilization were incorporated into the empire. However, Darius was not satisfied. He was determined to conquer the fourth center of civilization, which was ancient Greece.

    To this end, he launched the famous "Greco-Persian War", which united the Greek city-states that were originally fighting each other. Darius's army was severely defeated at Marathon, and only then did the famous sports "  Marathon Run¡±.

    After the reforms of Darius, the powerful Persian Empire flourished for almost two centuries.  The famous Alexander's Eastern Expedition defeated the Persian Empire and ended the Persian Empire.  From then on, the Persian Empire could no longer return to its old outlook and could only operate in its birthplace, now Iran.

    " Darius has been away from the Tang Dynasty for 1,200 years, but he can actually see his spear. The excitement in Chen Wanrong's heart cannot be described in words. He held the spear and looked at it carefully.

    Feng Changqing smiled and said: "Jun Jun, I have inquired about it. Hacha only awarded this spear to Gu Taibai. Gu Taibai also likes this spear very much. If the Jun Jun likes it, he will keep it."

    It was a great honor to possess the spear of Darius I. Chen Wanrong wanted it a hundred and twenty times, and thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I can't have it, I'd better send it to Chang'an and give it to the emperor.  Darius I was a famous emperor in Persian history. His reforms made the Persian Empire full of vitality. Hacha was only given to Gu Taibai. He was telling Gu Taibai that he hoped that when he arrived in Khorasan, he would be like Darius I.  In that way, Khorasan can be governed well. It's a pity that Gu Taibai acted perversely here and provoked civil unrest, which actually made it easier for us. I like this spear very much, and it is most suitable to give it to the emperor."

    It is conceivable that if Li Longji gets this spear, it will definitely be loveThey signed up one by one.  Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "It is the greatest honor of my life to meet all the wise men today. Judging from your accent, you are not a local, right?"

    "We are scholars from Damascus, and we came here to preach under the orders of the Caliph." Ihara answered respectfully.

    Chen Wanrong smiled even more cordially: "Sage Ihara, did you come to Samarkand voluntarily?"

    Ihara shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "No, no! We were forced to come here! If you allow it, we want to return to Damascus."

    "Of course I allow you to leave!" Chen Wanrong said without even thinking about it: "You are wise men. Wouldn't it be a pity if you just returned to Damage like this? Start from here, go east, pass the medicine  After killing the river, we have reached the territory of the Tang Dynasty. We in the Tang Dynasty are waiting for wise men like you, why don¡¯t you go to the Tang Dynasty for a walk and see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

    Ihara thought for a moment and said: "Sir, we yearn for the Tang Dynasty very much, but we still want to return to Damascus."

    How could Chen Wanrong let him go back, and then said: "Oh, there is one thing I haven't told you yet. Here among you, there is a very famous wise man named Malik. He only imposed punishment on Hacha and asked him to take it with him.  Hacha lives his life with a collar of seals. Now, Malik is in Chang'an, and he is highly respected by our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. We, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, regard him as our teacher. Every time you see Master Malik, you must stand up and greet him. You all  If you go to Chang'an, you will definitely be favored by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

    Malik was so famous. He was a well-known wise man, a great scholar, and a banner for scholars in the Middle East. When they heard that he was in Chang'an and was being treated by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, these scholars couldn't help but feel excited and their eyes shone.  They asked in unison: "Seriously?"

    Chen Wanrong said categorically: "It's absolutely true! If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. If I tell the truth, each of you will give me ten dinars. If I tell a lie, I will give you each  One hundred dinars per person!¡±

    "Sir, you are so funny!" Several scholars laughed happily: "Sir, we are willing to go to Chang'an!"

    "Okay! The Tang Dynasty welcomes you!" Chen Wanrong was not satisfied and said: "In our Tang Dynasty, there is a place where wise men gather, called the Imperial College. The wise men here are knowledgeable and respect the learned people very much. You go  If so, they will definitely welcome you, and you will become very good friends. It would be better if you brought all your friends and your disciples with you. You should also bring your books, the more the better.  , in this way, it is easier to communicate.¡±

    "Sir, please don't worry, we will do it right away!" Several scholars were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

    They didn't know what Chen Wanrong was thinking: "This is a good start. They are most familiar with where there are books and where there are scholars. It would be best to use them to achieve this. You go to Chang'an, we will meet you  Respect you, don¡¯t even think about coming back. Only those who sincerely yearn for China can come back to spread Chinese civilization!¡± (To be continued, if you want to know about the funeral, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author  , supports genuine reading!)
