The big man has a living father

Chapter 96 God is the leader of the sun god
Honglu Temple.

Zhao Po Nu was waiting at the door.

Zhao Po Nu really couldn't understand why the second young master would assign him a task to accompany the Egyptians to visit Chang'an City.

The strangely dressed Egyptian came out and bowed to Zhao Po Nu.

Zhao Po Nu didn't know how to return the greeting. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to bow.

Egyptian: "I heard from the officials of the Honglu Temple that you will take me to visit Chang'an. My name is Sespolias. What is your name?"

Zhao Po Nu: "Zhao Po Nu."

Seth Polias smiled and said, "I know that Han Chinese usually address each other by their surname and occupation, which is more respectful. May I ask who you are..."

Zhao Po Nu: "Oh, I am a Cong Piao Hou, also an Eagle Strike General, and also the Chief Human Resources Officer and Director of Tongguan Coal Mine."

Sespolias thought for a moment and said, "I know the general, but may I ask what kind of general is he?"

Zhao Po Nu thought for a moment and said, "We have two great commanders in the Han Dynasty. One is the general and the other is the general of cavalry. They are both commanders who can gallop across thousands of miles of enemy territory."

"Under them, there are generals in front, behind, left, and right, and under them are generals of miscellaneous titles."

"So I am a third-rate general in the empire."

After a little thought, Sespolias knew what kind of general Zhao Po Nu was. He smiled and said, "Then what does it mean to be a general?"

Zhao Po Nu pinched his chin and said, "Marquis is a title. The royal family can be crowned as king or marquis, while the non-royal family can only be crowned as marquis at most. In the Han Dynasty, only those with the surname Liu can be crowned as king."

Seth Polias was surprised: "Isn't that a top noble?"

Zhao Po Nu calculated that he had reached the top of the 20th rank by himself, and nodded: "Probably."

Seth Polias: "What about Tongguan Coal Mine... What about the human resources officer and the director?"

Zhao Po Nu walked forward with Seth Polyas. "As for the human resources officer, he will be in charge of the workers at Tongguan Coal Mine. Currently, there are 50,000 young and middle-aged workers in this coal mine."

Seth Polias was surprised.

You have to know that Egypt at that time was no longer the glorious era described in the records that Thespolias had read. There was no project in the whole of Egypt that involved 50,000 workers. When Thespolias heard that Zhao Po Nu had 50,000 workers under his command, he regarded Zhao Po Nu as a high-ranking official like those great Egyptian pharaohs in history.

I felt a sudden surge of admiration in my heart.

The great Han actually found such a big shot to accompany him to visit Chang'an?

Zhao Po Nu continued: "The director's words... are that some of us have joined together to do business. We are in the same coal mine business. The major shareholder is His Majesty the Emperor, and the second largest shareholder is the Deputy Envoy Huo Er Gongzi who is receiving you this time."

what? !

It doesn’t matter whether you are the second son of the Huo family or not, but can you do business in partnership with His Majesty the Emperor?

You have to know that Egypt was a winner-takes-all empire, and the pharaoh was supreme.

This is true for every country we have traveled through.

Today, after hearing that the ruler of a country was doing business with the nobles, Seth Polyas began to doubt the power of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, he also had another thought, that is, the Han Dynasty might be different from all the countries he had seen.

As Sespolias walked, he thought of a way to test the situation: "Our last stop before arriving at the Han Dynasty was Loulan. Loulan had a huge city that was 330 meters long and 330 meters wide."

Seth Polyas's learning ability is indeed very strong. He already knows the concept of meter.

This matter has not yet spread thoroughly among ordinary people in the Han Dynasty.

Sespolias: "On our way into the city, because we were outsiders, the soldiers did not allow us to observe the city, so I don't know how big Chang'an City is. May I ask how big Chang'an City is? From the Imperial Palace yesterday to the Honglu Temple, it feels like it is much more than 300 meters away."

Zhao Po Nu actually knew about this.

Because the cement factory and the coal mine are linked, the demand for coal at the cement factory increased dramatically, so they asked Zhao Po Nu to adjust some of the supply. Zhao Po Nu then looked at their production plan and learned that the Chang'an nobles were planning to build a road.

Zhao Po Nu: "Oh, our Chang'an is currently from east to west, excluding the countryside, there is no core area of ​​farmland, from east to west is 7,000 meters, we use seven kilometers to describe it."

Of course, within this range, many yards have vegetable fields, but there are no grain fields.

Seth Polyas's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't think Loulan was a big city. Egypt's largest city, Memphis, and second largest city, Alexandria, were much bigger than Loulan. But...his hometown, Alexandria, was probably not even a fraction of Chang'an in comparison?

But Zhao Po Nu continued, "This is our residential area."

"The west gate of our Chang'an City is the Jianzhang Palace where we performed yesterday. It's nearly 50 kilometers from the entrance to Maoling. There are dozens of Loulan cities like the one you mentioned scattered along the way."

"These cities are where the nobles of Chang'an live."

"I heard that the young master has already made plans. In the next few years, he will develop a residential area as large as the one in the north in the south and east of Chang'an City."

All the luli in the lu have been demolished, so naturally it is no longer called luli.

When Sethpolias heard Zhao Po Nu's description, he was shocked.

This is... a city? Isn't this the size of hundreds of huge cities combined?

Is this the kind of city that should exist in this world?

How can this be! ? !

What is the population of this city?!

Sespolias knew that he shouldn't ask questions about something as sensitive as population, let alone to a general, so he asked indirectly: "My hometown is a huge riverside oasis. I heard that you use kilometers to represent distance. One kilometer is about a thousand meters, right? Our east-west length is 300 kilometers, and the north-south length is 500 kilometers."

"My hometown is about this size, so how big is this huge oasis in Dahan?"

Thespolias was not telling the truth; the Nile Delta is much larger than this.

But these words stumped Zhao Po Nu.

oasis?

What the hell?

Zhao Po Nu: "Oasis?"

"Have you ever been to Zhangye? That is the largest oasis in the Han Dynasty."

Seth Polias breathed a sigh of relief, then reacted.

No, Zhangye is not as big as Chang'an! Zhangye is still under construction, but the completed part is not as big as Loulan.

Thespolias pointed to the surrounding palaces and said, "Isn't Chang'an a bigger oasis than Zhangye?"

Zhao Po Nu pinched his chin and said, "Uh, isn't Chang'an an oasis? An oasis is a place in the desert with lush grass and water suitable for human and animal survival, right?"

"The Han Dynasty starts from Longxi, and the east side is about 2,000 kilometers along the sea? South to Yangzhou, 3,000 kilometers? All of them can grow food. In spring, everything is lush and green, with plants, birds and animals everywhere."

Seth Polyas was completely stunned and stood there motionless.

Standing still.

Thespolias calculated that the distance from Alexandria to Dayuan was only about 4,000 kilometers.

Although people around him often say that two places are thousands of miles apart, Thespolias has Egyptian distance-measuring techniques and knows that those so-called thousands of miles are only a few hundred kilometers. It's just that the roads are winding and full of yellow sand, making them difficult to walk, so they seem far away. Thespolias knows very well that from Alexandria or Memphis to Dayuan, it's at most more than 4,000 kilometers.

And along this 4,000-kilometer stretch, there are four huge empires. Although these four empires are slightly inferior to Rome, they are not much worse.

And now the Han Dynasty is two thousand kilometers from west to east? ? ? ?

Even 3,000 kilometers to the south?!

Such a huge area actually belongs to one empire?

The areas suitable for survival in the Parthia, Bactria, Dayuan, his own country Egypt, and the already defeated Persia that he passed by on the way, combined, were less than one-fifth of the areas in the Han Dynasty!
Thespolias looked up, and was very careful not to look directly at the sun, thinking: Is Pharaoh still the son of the sun god? Why did the sun god not favor his own son, but favor the king of this distant country?
Sespolias was very unwilling in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "General Zhao, our Egyptian pharaoh is a god on earth, the son of the sun god."

"Where is your king?"

Zhao Po Nu: "Wait a minute, son of the sun god? Which sun god?"

This question confused Seth Polias: "Which one? Do you have many sun gods here?" Why would a god show up in a non-god country? Is this also a god's country?
Zhao Po Nu: "Don't you know? In ancient times, there were ten suns, and Yi shot down nine of them."

Seth Polyas understood every word he heard, but when he put them together, he was confused.

This was the first time he had heard such words in his life.

He was sure that he would not have heard it wrong after studying the Han language for so long.

But...shoot the Sun God? Nine?!
From Alexandria to Loulan, along the way, no one, whether vicious or friendly, arrogant or easy-going, dared to say such outrageous words.

Now some people say, unless...it really happened!

If all this had not really happened and been witnessed by others, who would dare to blaspheme God? !

Who else dares to arrange the gods?
People in a country where everyone is required to actively worship God throughout their lives have no idea what stories people who have always kept a distance from ghosts and gods will come up with.

He could only believe it.

Thespolias' mind raced: Could it be that there are not just five, but ten sun gods?

No wonder our Egyptian sun god keeps changing people, was he killed by the gods from the far east?!
Then wouldn’t the Sun God be... vulnerable?
What kind of great existence killed the sun god?

This thought made Sespolias feel that he deserved to die. But Egypt was not as big as the Han Dynasty, and Egypt was not as favored as the Han Dynasty. It seemed that the gods of Egypt were not as good as the Han Dynasty...

In fact, this is all the fault of the Egyptian rulers, who insisted on saying that they were the sons of the sun god.

When dynasties change, they need legitimacy and they also want their descendants not to rebel. You can't say, "I am also the son of the sun god, so I killed my brother," right?
So they came up with an idea, 'Before, he was the morning sun god, and my father is the noon sun god! The kingdom of God is just like the human world! The sun rises in the east and sets in the west on earth, and the sun in the kingdom of God also has morning, noon, and evening!'

"Now it's time for the Sun God of the Kingdom of God to change shifts! It's time for the king of the human world to change shifts too!"

After a long time, the morning sun god, the noon sun god, the evening sun god, the new day's sun god, and the new day's noon sun god all appeared.

The founders of the present dynasty are Greeks, and for the sake of legitimacy they insist that the Greek gods are the same as the Egyptian gods, except that they have different names among the mortals.

Why do these sun gods keep changing? No one has ever explained why they change positions.

Now there is an explanation, he was shot to death by Yi.

Sespolias: "Is the Majesty of that great man a child of the gods?"

Zhao Po Nu frowned: "Oh, you are so stupid, of course your Majesty is the late emperor's child."

Before the Confucian theory of the Son of Heaven was proposed, there was a clear distinction between the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven, so Zhao Po Nu did not think in this direction.

At this time, the Emperor's theory had not been promoted on a large scale, and Zhao Po Nu had not read many Confucian books, so he had no idea that the Confucian activities of the divine right of kings were in full swing.

Sethpolias poked his head in: "Your Majesty, don't you have some...kinship with the gods?"

Zhao Po Nu was confused by Seth Polias's question, but now he finally reacted: "Oh, oh, you are talking about this, please explain it clearly!"

"There are three gods between heaven and earth. Above is Heaven, and everything is the Great God of Heaven. Below is Earth, and everything is the Great God of Earth. Everything between heaven and earth belongs to man, who is the Great God."

"The greatest god is Tianyi, we also call him Tian Laoye, or God."

"Your Majesty is of course the ruler of the world. I've heard that some say that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven... but Your Majesty doesn't seem too happy about this rumor."

Seth Polias tactical fade away.

He is worthy of being the king of such a powerful empire as the Han Dynasty.

Son of God, are you still not happy?
Sethpolyas had no concept of the sky before, but Zhao Po Nu explained it well, everything above the head is the sky.

Then the sun god is just a small part of the sky.

Seth Polyas thought that was easy to understand.

If the sky is the marshal, the sun god is the team leader, the sky is the big leader of a department, and the sun palace is the small leader of the subordinate, then you will understand it with this explanation.

Wasn’t that the old leader of the honorable Sun God?

Isn't that day doubly noble? !
The emperor of the Han Dynasty, the son of heaven, was not happy that someone had made this public? ? ?
Sespolias had been away from Egypt for too long, and there was no high-pressure thing brainwashing him. In addition, no other people in Egypt had traveled as far and seen as much as he had, so he had been looking for a way out for the gods in his heart.

Of course, he was actually trying to find a way out for his soul;

Coupled with the changes in Egyptian mythology history and the myth of Houyi shooting down the sun, Sespolias' brain, which was formatted by God, activated the traditional art of ancient Egypt.

The fusion of the gods.

Any living thing that is about to die will find a way out on its own.

So will the pantheistic sects.

After the integration, it was discovered that no matter whether it was the Egyptian or Greek gods, in front of the great leader, Heaven, they were just small leaders in charge of departments.

For twenty years, Thespolias traveled eastward, and every place he passed through was worse than Egypt.

So Seth Polias always looked down on people and things on the road.

Now that he had arrived at a place so powerful that it was unimaginable, Sethpolyas was certain that he had found his savior and the most powerful country on earth.

As a believer in God, Seth Polyas needed to find a reasonable explanation for all this.

Of course, this is not a subjective search, but something that happens subconsciously.

So, he naturally began to praise the big man in his heart.

Because Sespolias did not want his country to be destroyed, he instinctively needed to rely on a more powerful system for the thing he revered to gain a sense of security for its continuation.

Now Thespolias expanded his respect for the sun god infinitely to his respect for the sky.

Just as in the army, to respect the squad leader you have to bow down, then to respect the general you have to kneel down.

Great God!
Seth Polyas wanted to observe this human kingdom carefully.

Along the way, Seth Polyas had no doubts about what Zhao Po Nu said.

Because Zhao Po Nu kept walking north while chatting with him, but the city was so big that it seemed like they would never reach the end.

Isn’t this the kingdom of God on earth?
If this is not the kingdom of God on earth, then this is the real kingdom of God!
At this time, Egypt had a population of only a million. They themselves had no idea what Egypt was like in history because it had been a long time ago and no history had been passed down. In front of Egypt at this time, the Han Dynasty was like a father.

At this moment, the name of the Fatherland was destined to spread throughout the Mediterranean.
