    The battle between the old and new lion kings caused silence in the Senate.  Fabian trembled and shook, and then fell straight backwards.  "Speaker, what's wrong with you?" "Come here, the Speaker has fainted! Call the doctor!" There was a chaos in the Senate, and Scipio looked coldly at the old Fei who fell on the ground.  Side, turned around and returned to his position.  The Rome that belonged to the older generation no longer existed, and the next world was the time for Scipio to show off his ambitions.  The doctors came up and carried Fabian out. At this time, the senators looked at Scipio in their eyes, full of fear. The young consul's ruthlessness prevented them from slacking off at all.  "Senators, you have all seen and heard that the enemies from the east have already invaded the soil of Rome. If we are not united and continue to be suspicious of each other, one day not too far away, we will all be put on a prison car heading to the far east.  We are losing our lives day by day in hunger, thirst and despair. Therefore, for the sake of free life, to protect our property, and for our estate, we must concentrate all our strength and form an extremely powerful army. Only in this way, our great Rome.  In order to continue to exist, otherwise, today we are superior slave owners, and tomorrow, we may be slaves worse than pigs and dogs." These words of Scipio are like a heavy punch, and Rome will still be immersed in it.  The elders who dreamed of rapid expansion were astonished.  "Consul, what you said can't happen, right?" A former ally of Fabian asked with a skeptical tone.  "Impossible. The nobles of the kingdoms of Parthia, Seleucid, and Ptolemy also thought so. But now, where are their kingdoms? Where are their families?" Scipio sneered again and again.  Hearing what Scipio said, the senators fell silent one by one. Although they still refused to believe it from the bottom of their hearts, the examples given by Scipio were all living examples and did not allow them to refute.  "I would like to ask all the senators to contribute more to rebuilding the fleet. In addition, I have good news to tell you that our opponent, the seemingly powerful Qin people, is not without weaknesses. In the post house in Rome  , The Mauryan King from the far south has sent an envoy. As long as we reach an alliance, the Qin people will be plunged into a war. Their long supply line is being directly threatened by the Mauryan army. " "Consul,  The Maurya King's envoy is really in the city, why didn't you tell him earlier?" The news revealed by Scipio made all the senators overjoyed.  "I told you earlier, the news would have leaked out earlier. There are spies from the East in the city of Rome. The senators here should also go back and check. See if any of the people around you have contacted the Orientals." Scipio  said coldly.  The Maurya Dynasty.  A regional power located in the South Asian subcontinent, its geographical location is equivalent to the Indian Peninsula in later generations. While the Qin State was powerful, the Maurya Dynasty was also at its most prosperous stage, and its birth was somewhat mythical.  Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire conquered the East and established a province in northwest India.  A governor was set up, and then a young man named Chandragupta among the Kshatriya nobles of the Majadha Kingdom raised a banner and defeated the Macedonian army, thus establishing a new dynasty.  In the early days of the Maurya Dynasty, it controlled the Indus Plain, Ganges Plain, Bay of Bengal, Deccan Plateau and vast areas as far as the Arabian Sea.  Two centuries later.  The new king of the Mauryan Dynasty, Ashoka, ascended to the throne. His talents allowed the dynasty to quickly complete the great cause of unifying the peninsula.  During the reign of King Asoka, at its peak, except for the southern tip of the Indian peninsula, it stretched from the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the north to Mysore in the south, from the western boundary of Assam in the east to the Hindu Kush in the west.  All were incorporated into the territory of the Maurya Empire.  However, when Li Yuan led the New Qin Army to the westward expedition, the Mauryan Dynasty began to decline after a brief period of strength.  When Qin was at war with Rome.  The king of the Maurya Dynasty was King Jucha, the last king who had just ascended the throne. This descendant of King Ashoka belonged to the type with great ambitions but not outstanding talents. Instigated by the powerful minister Sunga, he decided to fight with Rome, a powerful country in the West.  Form an alliance to fight against the powerful neighbor Qin in the north.  King Juche and Xunjia dared to take risks because they were interested in the huge benefits on the Silk Road. But where they are now, they can only watch Qin making wealth, and now, they can't bear it anymore.  The situation in the South Asian subcontinent began to become tense. This was what the Romans, who were suffering from internal and external troubles, liked to see most. After struggling to find allies for a long time, Scipio thought he had found Qin's weakness.  ¡ª¡ª.  Xin'an City. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Qin fleet¡¯s great victory on Kitti Island ushered in the?autumn fruiting season, the Qin army was allExtremely happy.  Emperor Li Yuan was sitting quietly by the pond in the palace. In his hand, he held a thin piece of yellow paper. Li Yuan had been looking at this inconspicuous thing for a long time, but he still felt very  of surprise.  As the territory of the Qin State expanded day by day, heavy writing materials such as bamboo slips and wooden tablets became increasingly inconsistent with the reality. Inventing a new type of material that was light and easy to carry became an urgent need for the Qin Dynasty to solve.  A difficult question.  In ancient China, the four great inventions have a long history. Peng Sheng¡¯s experience of accidentally inventing black gunpowder inspired Li Yuan. In terms of research and invention, the three major military establishments of the Qin State used a collective approach to create and research together.  The old model is far behind.  In the past three or four years, the improved papers sent by military researchers include silk paper, silk paper, mulberry paper, rattan paper, bamboo paper and other forms, but in terms of practicality, they are not as good as what they are now.  This composite paper in my hand.  From the perspective of paper texture, composite paper materials include bark, linen, rope, bamboo bark and other materials. It is a mixed plant fiber paper. Judging from the instructions given by Hyozo, the composite paper  It is characterized by being light, flexible and easy to carry, and the raw materials are very cheap and easy to find. If produced on a large scale, it will greatly change the living habits of Qin officials and people.  "Your Majesty, the standards for rewards for naval officers and commemoration for fallen soldiers have been determined. Please take a look!" While Li Yuan was meditating, Zhang Shishang, the internal historian in charge of money and food arrangements, came forward to report.  "These things just need to be done according to the past standards. By the way, Shi Zhi, you can write it down. If this new paper is popularized, will it have any practical value?" Li Yuan nodded and said to Zhang Shizhi.  .  "I obey the order." Zhang Shizhi responded and was about to start writing.  Zhang Shizhi is Zhang Liang's nephew. This former Korean descendant is now one of the outstanding young officials in Daqin. He is very happy to have the honor to show up in front of Li Yuan from time to time. Now he can show up  With one hand, I am naturally convinced.  The ink penetrates the back of the paper.  ?Thick but not melting, this is the realm of paper application under ideal conditions.  The reason why paper in the past has not been widely used is not only that the raw materials are expensive or difficult to find, but also because as soon as the ink falls on the paper, it spreads into a ball, making it impossible to write under such conditions.  possible.  Zhang Shi¡¯s writing is as sharp as a sharp edge.  Within a moment, sweat appeared on his forehead. Writing in front of a superior like Li Yuan was obviously stressful, not to mention that the writing materials in front of him had never been used before.  "Your Majesty, look at the ink falling down and condensing very tightly. This is good paper!" After Zhang Shizhi finished writing a memorial, he looked back and couldn't help but be overjoyed.  "Compared with the heavy bamboo slips that require someone to move them, this new paper is so light and effortless that even a scholar like Zhang Shizhi can write with ease.  ??Inventions and creations bit by bit.  It is changing the habits of Qin people and changing this era.  Li Yuan did not expect to be able to invent all the ancient Chinese technologies at once, but with the current national power of Qin, if new things and new technologies such as gunpowder and paper that are basically in line with this era cannot achieve a breakthrough,  The craftsmen who made the weapons would really be ashamed of themselves.  PS: The second update is here, thank you all!  Please vote.
