I have been living in this eastern country for almost a year. I miss you so much, I miss Rome, I miss the gods on Mount Aspirin, and I miss everything in the city of Rome.
I have some unfortunate news for you. I learned a terrible thing in this eastern country.
The demon that cursed the Republic for generations was discovered by the Eastern Mohists and corrected.
It is lead!
The Eastern Mohists have confirmed that lead is highly toxic. Once it enters the human body, it will be like a demon, cursing all people and causing all kinds of strange diseases. It will also damage fertility and cause babies to suffer from diseases.
All kinds of terrible diseases.
I don't know if these Eastern Mohists know how to eliminate lead poisoning or prevent lead poisoning from entering the human body, but I have decided to ask them for advice and follow them to learn about their knowledge, especially the one called 'chemistry'
knowledge……
According to what they said, this chemistry, if studied to the end, can be as powerful as a god!
In the myths and legends of the Eastern Empire, there are many ordinary people who received blessings from 'immortals' or gods, took elixirs or magical medicines, ascended to heaven, and became immortal.
However, there is a problem. This empire that calls itself China but is called the Han Dynasty is prouder and greater than Rome.
Chinese people often tell me that even a slave in China is nobler than the kings of other countries.
And the history and past of this country do support this to some extent.
The home of spices and silk.
Not only does it have a long history, but it also has a splendid civilization.
Their ancestors had already ruled the entire East when the Pharaohs of Egypt were still building the pyramids.
Moreover, their national strength and army are far beyond your imagination and those of the senators of the Roman Republic.
They have a proverb that says: Wherever there is sky, it is the king's land; wherever there is land, it is the king's ministers.
The emperor's orders are sent from the capital during the day, and within half a month, the troops on the distant borders will be ordered to mobilize.
The size of the Han Dynasty's army often appeared in official documents and propaganda at the level of one hundred thousand.
In the capital of the Han Dynasty, I often saw hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people walking back and forth in the city, learning and shopping.
Therefore, with the pride of the Han Dynasty people, they naturally decided not to open the door to learning "chemistry" for all outsiders who were not from the Han Dynasty.
Although this is desperate, it is true.
But dear father, please don't worry, I still have one last chance.
This country in the far east was completely different from the Roman Republic.
As I told you last time, this country has a king who calls himself the Son of Heaven. According to the Han Dynasty, this Son of Heaven is a king who is recognized by Heaven and can rule the country and protect the people forever.
The current Son of Heaven is just like the Aspirin gods I heard about in Rome.
People in the Han Dynasty said that when he was born, he was as sacred and great as a god.
Because of his birth, the God of War of the Han Dynasty appeared in the sky above the capital of the Han Dynasty with gods and artifacts, praising his birth.
When he was three years old, he was recognized by the greatest Son of Heaven in the history of the Han Dynasty and became the heir to the next generation.
At the age of five, you can ride a horse, shoot an arrow with perfect accuracy, read and study, and you only need to do it once. You will never forget it.
He has now demonstrated all kinds of god-like powers.
The good news is that this supreme son of heaven in the Han Dynasty is said to have a mind as generous as the sea, a heart as kind as the Goddess of Love and Wisdom, and is willing to spread his mercy and grace to everyone in the world.
I have decided to visit the King of Gods of the Han Dynasty, the God of the Gods, and ask him to show his mercy and generously allow me to study chemistry at the Mohists' Mohist School.
May the Aspirin gods bless the Republic!
Your son Curitios."
Curitios put down the brush in his hand and dried the ink on the paper.
Then, like a Chinese, he leaned back on the bed, sighed, and put away the letter.
During his nearly one year in the Han Dynasty, he had written dozens of letters to his father, brother, consul and his lover.
But none of these letters were sent.
Because the barbarian empire in the north stood firmly between him and his motherland.
It is impossible and does not exist that anyone can travel through this country that is comparable to the Han Dynasty and send his letter back to Rome.
But he still couldn't help but write many letters, telling his relatives, lovers, friends and bosses what he saw and heard.
Either joy, distress, excitement, or decadence.
There are all kinds of emotions.
Walking off the bed with bare feet, Curitios looked out the window at his former classmates who looked at him with all kinds of hostility and hatred.
To be honest, Curitios never imagined that after his desire to study chemistry was known to these classmates who had a good relationship with him in the past, everyone's impressions and opinions of him would immediately change from friends to enemies.
No, even more indifferent and hostile than the enemy!
To be honest, Curitios didn't understand very well. He just vaguely guessed that there seemed to be a hatred between the Mohist's school of thought and the school of thought called Confucianism that he was in now, just like Troy and Greece.
But, even if it happens all over again.
Curitios also believed that he still chose this way.
For the motherland, for Rome, for the Republic.
He can do anything!
"What should I think of to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty?" Curitios fell into distress.
The supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty was not something that ordinary people could just see.
In fact, even approaching his temple of God would be considered blasphemy for ordinary people.
No one can get close without permission and consent.
If I want to see him, given my current status, I have no chance at all!
"correct……"
Curitios suddenly remembered something
"The people of the Han Dynasty seemed to be very interested in the so-called body poison..."
"In my opinion, body poison should be the destination of Alexander the Great's Eastern Expedition, India..."
"I once lived in the Kingdom of Bactria for a year, and I know a little about India..."
The Kingdom of Bactria had part of its territory in India.
Although, the Kingdom of Bactria may have surrendered under the threat of barbarian cavalry from the east and may even have perished.
But Curitios felt that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty would be very interested in this information.
Originally, Curitios had no intention of telling the Han Dynasty people about these things.
Because in his view, the Kingdom of Bactria, no matter what, was still a member of the Greco-Roman system.
It cannot be sold casually.
But now, for the sake of Rome, for the sake of the Republic, the Greeks still have to sell!)
ps: I finished almost 11,000 words today.
Well, after deducting the guaranteed amount of 8,000, I paid back 2,500.
There are still 2500 left, I will pay it off tomorrow~
