Chapter 567: Forced by helplessness
"Mr. Meng Tian has mentioned this argument before." Meng Tian said, "Last time, Mr. Wang said that Baiyue Land had just been conquered and it hadn't stabilized yet. He was too anxious.
Now it seems that it is indeed a lesson learned from the past.
Although Genghis Khan conquered most of Europe, because there was no one to help him, when he finally retreated, he gave back the land he had fought so hard to conquer. This was not only a pity, but also a great pity.
If they had soldiers and talents at that time, I am afraid that China would be the most powerful country in the world now. "
Qin An shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also ruled the entire Western Region, but he still did not continue to rule after that.
It was not until later that the countries in the Western Regions were unified and finally became one country. Finally, powerful dynasties ruled them, and finally became modern China.
After the first step is completed and the population increases, then it is necessary to develop Daqin's commerce, agriculture, science and technology, education, etc., and all activities that can enhance national power.
In ancient times, transportation was actually a major problem. The court could not know the news thousands of miles away at the first time. This was one of the reasons why every dynasty eventually perished. "
"How do you say this?" Gan Luo asked.
"For example, in the Land of Baiyue." Qin An said, "Someone defeated the Qin army stationed in the Land of Baiyue and sent troops north to attack Xianyang City.
However, because the news did not reach Xianyang City at the first time, the news received was from a few days ago, or even more than ten days ago.
The situation had changed at that time. It is possible that the number of rebels had changed from a few thousand to one hundred thousand, or from one hundred thousand to one million.
The changes in the process can cause the court to make wrong judgments. "
"Yes, why didn't I think of it before?" Gan Luo said.
"That's because you have never considered it." Qin An said, "However, you don't have to think about it now, because technology is now very advanced. Not only are radios and mobile phones, but also satellites in the sky, which can completely monitor your every move. A move.
As long as you are exposed, even if you are far away from the world, I will know what you are doing now. "
"It's so miraculous, it's like the mythical clairvoyance." Gan Mao said.
Qin An nodded and said: "That's true, but if you hide in the house, the satellite can't do anything. He can only see you outside."
"It turns out that this satellite is not a real clairvoyant." Gan Mao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately not, otherwise it would be useless for the enemy to hide wherever he went.
Qin An did not explain, because even if he explained clearly, everyone might not be able to understand.
Meng Tian said: "Don't worry, everyone, Mr. invented the telegraph and the telephone, so there is no need to worry about news.
And I heard that my husband is studying steam trains, so I don’t have to worry about transportation in the future. "
Qin An smiled and said: "Old Meng, you have turned yourself into your ancestor Meng Tian again. Steam trains are already backward for modern times, and there are many faster means of transportation."
Meng Tian smiled and said: "I don't care about that. At present, I only know that the things designed by Mr. are more reliable. As for the others, I have never seen them before. I will talk about it after I see them."
"Yes." Qin An said, "So do you still have any questions?"
When Gan Luo was about to ask, he was interrupted by Gan Mao.
"No, thank you sir for clarifying your doubts. We won't disturb your rest. Quan'er, let's go."
"But……"
"No need to worry, sir, he is very busy. Let's go back first."
Immediately, regardless of whether Gan Luo agreed or not, Gan Mao pulled Gan Luo and left the yard together.
Bai Siqi and Meng Xifan were not fools. They had already asked questions and got answers. Now it was time to leave. If they didn't leave, even if Qin An didn't drive them away, Qin An's three wives would come forward to drive them away.
Immediately, the two stood up and said at the same time: "Sir, we also say goodbye."
Meng Tian also bowed and said, "Sir, I'm leaving too. If you need anything, you can ask my second brother to bring a message to me."
"Okay, I will." Qin An said, "You go slowly, I won't see you off."
"Free delivery, please stay." Meng Tian said immediately.
Qin An nodded and could only watch them leave the yard. Then he came to the room excitedly and said to the three women: "You three ladies, my husband will continue to tell you "The Legend of White Snake"."
"Ms. sir, you are finally done with your work. It's great. I'm getting impatient with waiting." Ying Yinman said.
Li Yanran immediately brought a cup of tea and said: "You are thirsty, sir, drink tea quickly."
Zou Feng walked behind Qin An, held Qin An's shoulders and pressed them up, saying: "My husband is tired, I'll massage your shoulders."
"Thank you." Qin An took a sip of tea and enjoyed Zou Feng's massage.
"Hey, those old men are already that old and still care so much about national affairs. I'm convinced."
Li Yanran said: "Ms. sir, the three of them are quite powerful in Shiliba Village. Even the high officials of the imperial court have to give them face.
When the village chief got their help, it was like an even greater blessing, taking the village chief's success even further. "
"It turns out that these three old men are so energetic. Fortunately, I helped them. Doesn't this mean I'm helping my father-in-law in disguise?"
"yes."
The three women replied at the same time.
"That's good. Come on, let's continue talking. Where did I just say it?"
"Xu Xian was scared to death by Bai Suzhen." Ying Yinman reminded.
"Yes." Qin An said, "Bai Suzhen believed that she had high magical power, so she drank Xu Xian's realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival, and then showed up and scared Xu Xian to death. Wait until..."
While Qin An was telling his three wives "The Legend of the White Snake", Gan Luo asked Gan Mao with a puzzled expression as to why he hadn't asked Gan Mao more questions just now.
Gan Mao was speechless about this and glanced at the smiles on the faces of the two old guys behind him. The smiles were particularly weak.
Finally, Gan Mao sighed and said, "Gan Luo, if you hadn't been locked up at home for so many years, I'm afraid you wouldn't have asked such a stupid question."
"Why?"
"Because there are people here who are sophisticated and sophisticated," Gan Mao said. "The gentleman and the princess are about to separate. You should have seen the gentleman and the princess chatting when we first arrived.
But after we arrived, the three princesses returned to the room. Did you think of anything? "
"Are we disturbing them?" Gan Luo said uncertainly.
"That's right." Gan Mao said helplessly, "If we didn't want to know more before you leave and ask you to do something for us, do you think we want to disturb Mr. and the others?
Since we plan to stay here, we have a lot of time to ask questions, and everything is forced to do so. "
Some people died, but not completely...
