    Build lakes and strengthen river channels to prevent flood disasters.  This is a good move for the Qin people and the indigenous people in the two river basins to enhance mutual harmony and understanding.  Like the Chinese civilization, the people in the Mesopotamia where the Babylonian civilization was born also have their own pride, but the cruel reality makes them lower their heads time and time again.  This was the case in 200 BC, and in 2000 AD, the situation still had not changed much. Li Yuan had no interest in revising or changing the fate of these Semitic descendants, but one thing was that Qin had to  What matters most is how to resolve the never-ending war in this region.     Peace.  It is the best guarantee to heal people's hearts and create wealth.  "We, Da Qin, want to gain a foothold in this land. What we have to do in a short period of time is not to ask for wealth, but to give hope, so that the indigenous people who have been bullied by the Egyptians, Persians, and Macedonians for thousands of years can see that we  Da Qin came here to help them live a good life and help their tribe survive and not be exterminated¡ª¡ª" "So, if any of you are found to have bullied the natives, don't blame me, Li.  "I don't show mercy." When he first arrived at the Euphrates River, Li Yuan warned the Qin army officers who were preparing to station in various places.  The Qin army relied on force to expel the Persians and Macedonians, but this was only a superficial conquest. To truly turn this fertile land rich in oil into another birthplace of the Qin Dynasty, Li Yuan and the others had to do more.  When the Qin regime was still unstable, tough policies such as genocide and forced immigration were adopted.  It is unfeasible under the current circumstances, if Li Yuan really decides to do that.  It will inevitably arouse greater resistance, and organize large-scale immigration of the Qin people from the Central Plains to the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia, making the Qin people the main population in this area. Although this long-conceived strategy has already begun, whether the immigration will be effective or not,  It also depends on whether the integration between the Qin people and the local indigenous people is harmonious.  People's hearts.  It is the most difficult to grasp and the most elusive.  One hand is hard and the other is soft.  For those anti-Qin die-hard forces who are bent on confronting Qin.  The Qin army will attack them mercilessly, but for ordinary people who have nothing to do with the world and just want to live a good life, it is impossible for Qin to kill people indiscriminately and push itself into the opposite direction. Necessary comfort is the most important thing.  best measures to alleviate conflicts.  Li Yuan gave the order and the army moved together.  Under the watchful eyes of the indigenous elders in the two river basins, the generals of the Qin Army garrisoned in the city were sweating profusely under the scorching sun.  A series of dredged ditches quickly formed, and then guided streams of water from the tributaries to the depths of the desert.  The water is so powerful.  The generals of the Qin army, who were like clay figures, either sat down on the ground, stood up and raised their arms and shouted, or were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to shout, but no matter what, the faces on their faces.  But his smile was clearly filled with victory and happiness.  An artificial lake was built to store excess water from the two rivers during the rainy season, and then a small reservoir was formed in the Xin'an City area to regulate the local climate. With the moisture of the water, the arid deserts around Xin'an City were reduced.  It can be slowly transformed into thousands of miles of fertile farmland, maybe within a few years.  There will be green trees, birds singing, and fruits full, creating a prosperous harvest scene.  The power of role models is endless.  In front of the beautiful future described by Li Yuan, in front of the sweat and shouts of the Qin army generals, the hesitant Babylonian natives were tempted. They gradually gave up waiting and joined the project of building artificial lakes.  Our ancestors once worked hard to create an admirable civilization on this land. But now, as descendants of the ancient civilization, they are willing to eat and wait to die. How could this be so embarrassing?  When Lu Jia and Maria's group came to Xin'an City from Dongyang City, they encountered the Xin'an Lake diversion project that was successfully completed. When Lu Jia pointed out to Maria with a smile, the man in front of him was covered in mud and had a wet face.  When the ordinary man with a red face turned out to be Emperor Shenwu, Maria pursed her lips tightly in surprise and was speechless.  The Great Emperor Shenwu!  What a resounding name.  Just from the fact that Li Yuan single-handedly rebuilt the New Qin Dynasty and expanded Qin's territory to the entire Asia, we can imagine how handsome, powerful and extraordinary he was. In Maria's imagination, Li Yuan should be like the Hebrew  King David and King Solomon in mythology are omnipotent and omniscient.  But the man in front of me looks no different from an ordinary Qin Army general. This man who builds ponds and digs ditches with ordinary soldiers and foreign indigenous people, no matter where you look at it, it is impossible to have any earth-shattering abilities.  So, why did the young envoys in the Qin delegation look at them with reverence along the way, and the elders like Lu Jia actually admired Li Yuan twice as much? This is becauseWhat?  Suddenly, Maria, who had always thought of herself as eccentric and quick-thinking, felt that her cleverness could not hold her head high in front of a wise and foolish figure like Li Yuan.  Lu Jia returns.  It just so happened that the water diversion project of Xin'an Lake was also completed, so Li Yuan led a group of subordinates back to their base in the city. As the first stage of the Western Expedition subsided, a group of people who focused on hard work gradually gathered around Li Yuan.  Officials, most of them are young people in their teens or twenties.  Although young people will make mistakes, they have time and courage.  In this great change that is related to the future living space of the descendants of Yan and Huang, the young people of Qin State followed Li Yuan without hesitation.  Chao Cuo, Jia Yi, Han Anguo, Zhang Yu, these figures who have left a great reputation in history, all followed them to Xin'an City.  ¡ª¡ª.  The ancient Babylonian Senate Hall, located on the bank of the Euphrates River, is the only building that has survived many wars and can still be used.  This is now the discussion center of the western province of Qin.  Different from the governance structure of the thirty-six counties in China, the governance method adopted by Li Yuan in these newly occupied lands in the West is to use seven key cities such as Xin'an City, Dongyang City, and Xiyong City as constellations, with points leading to areas, and hierarchical and decentralized governance.  In other words, the ruler of a star city is the highest ruling leader in the vast area near it.  ??And ruling generals like Huan Chu need to come to Xin'an City every six months to report to Li Yuan a summary of their work in the past six months or one year.  Lu Jia reported to Li Yuan the details of the entire negotiation that the Jews agreed to form an alliance. He also truthfully stated the battle between David and internal elders from different backgrounds. Li Yuan listened very carefully. For the Jews, this  The nation has been described in various books in the 21st century, but any records recorded by future generations are far less realistic than real face-to-face conversations.  "Mary, you said this little girl's father is named David Joseph?" Li Yuan asked with emotion.  Lu Jia was stunned. He did not expect that Li Yuan did not ask about the riots among the Jews just now, but instead asked about Maria.  "Your Majesty, Mary said that her father was a descendant of King David's family. However, during the riots a month ago, David Joseph was assassinated and died." Li Yuan nodded, Lu Jia's  The answer made his heart sink. If nothing changed much, the little girl taken in by Lu Jia was Mary, the mother of the Christian saint Jesus.     Christianity.  It is a religion founded by Jesus to persuade people to repent, turn away from evil deeds, and preach the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. At the beginning, it was just a secret group organization. Later, under the suppression of the Jewish nobles, Jesus suffered and died, and many believers  Persecuted by the Roman authorities, he had to leave his home and flee to various parts of Europe.  It was this painful experience of escape that allowed Christianity to gradually develop from a regional religion founded by the Jews into a religious organization regarded as orthodox by Westerners. In the Middle Ages, the status of the Pope was even higher than that of the emperors of some powerful countries.  Much bigger.  Regarding Christianity, Li Yuan was very cautious.  A religion can still have a vitality that lasts for more than 2,000 years after repeated suppression, and its influence becomes more and more important as time goes by. This in itself shows that this kind of spiritual religious belief has adapted to the times.  Demand is also the pillar that human beings need in the process of survival and development.  As a result of using force to suppress, history has proven that this path will not work.  Blind indulgence will undoubtedly make the people of Qin have more trust in Jewish civilization and Western values, thus ignoring the excellent cultural inheritance of their own nation. This is a greater risk.  From the perspective of the influence of Christianity in later generations, the role of religion is no weaker than that of military conquest. In more far-reaching areas, it even surpasses a certain powerful dynasty.  Therefore, if Eastern values ??are to be widely accepted by the world, they must rely on both force and religious propaganda.  In this regard, Li Yuan regarded Tianshi Tao founded by Zhang Liang as the spiritual pillar for promoting Eastern concepts. Judging from its spread in recent times, although Tianshi Tao has developed a considerable number of new Taoist disciples, it still needs to be  There is still a long way to go before the conquered natives change their beliefs and bow to Eastern civilization.  Maria intends to go to the East.  Li Yuan gave full support to this.
