Koji knew without asking that the Roman Empire that Hatuk mentioned was the Eastern Roman Empire, also commonly known as the Byzantine Empire.
Like the Western Roman Empire, it was also called the Roman Empire.
But a few decades later, Frederick I, nicknamed Redbeard, would change the name of the Western Roman Empire to the Holy Roman Empire in order to distinguish it from the Eastern Roman Empire.
However, Kou Ji found it a bit incredible that the Byzantine Empire sent troops to help the cannibals.
Both parties believe in two sects, and both think the other is a heretic.
If both parties want to cooperate, the first thing to do is to find ways to remove the influence of religion.
In this relatively ignorant era, the influence of religion is almost impossible to cure.
So Kou Ji was surprised and curious about how they got together.
Hatuk heard Koji's question and gritted his teeth and said: "They have betrayed God. My king will definitely take off their heads and offer them to God."
Except for Koji, no one present would understand Hatuk's anger.
Even if some of them are collaborators with Gargamel, they still cannot understand Hatuk's anger.
In their view, others cannot defeat the Black Khan coalition and the Seljuk people, so it is completely normal to draw foreign aid from elsewhere.
And fighting in the name of religion and working hard for religion is simply a stupid thing to do.
Koji smiled at Hatuk and said, "I believe that Gargamel will one day become the new caliph, return to control Baghdad, and spread the glory of God."
Hatuk respectfully performed a religious ceremony on Koji.
Kou Ji focused his attention on Li Chun and asked with a smile: "Is your father living a good life now?"
Li Chun smiled calmly and said: "I can eat and sleep, but I have the same confusion as Uncle Cao and Uncle Zhong."
Kou Ji nodded with a smile and looked at Zhu Fu, "How is your father? I heard that in the past two thousand years, he took an arrow on the battlefield and almost lost his life?"
Zhu Fu said angrily: "I have recovered, but I can no longer mount my horse to fight. Now every time there is a war, he sits in the big tent and commands the entire army.
The immediate charge will be left to our brothers."
Kou Ji sighed, "What a pity..."
Zhu Fu lowered his head sadly.
Kou Ji asked: "Your father won't be as confused as others, right?"
Zhu Fu raised his head, looking embarrassed.
Kou Ji looked around at everyone and had some thoughts in his mind.
He finally understood why this group of people from all over the world happened to appear in Qingguo together.
Without him, my hands are itchy and I want to do something big.
They are either dissatisfied with the current feudal land or dissatisfied with the people in the current feudal land, so they want to achieve their goals through war.
Find him.
I'm afraid it's for two things.
One is to drag him into the water.
The second is for firearms.
As long as he can be dragged into the water, then there is no need to worry about firearms.
Everyone has become comrades in the same trench. How can Kou Ji continue to watch others wielding knives?
Kou Ji did not try to hide from them, but said straight to the point: "I finally understand what you mean. It's a pity that our Qing Kingdom has no intention of launching troops recently.
As for firearms, our Qing country currently only has some firearms for self-protection.
There are no equipment workshops in the Qing Kingdom, and we don't forge firearms, so I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill your wishes."
When several people heard Kou Ji's words, their faces darkened.
Kou Ji continued: "To be honest, the weapons you control now are already stronger than any enemies you have to face. There is absolutely no need to get better weapons.
The only reason you seek firearms is to kill the enemy faster.
But you should also know that it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it.
You have conquered so much territory in a hurry, but it is of no use if you cannot swallow it.
So I suggest you take your time and figure it out."
When several people heard this, they all sighed inwardly.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "However, although I can't provide you with firearms, I can't send troops to fight with you in all directions.
But I can help you develop some talents."
When several people heard this, they all frowned, not understanding Kou Ji's intention.
Although they all come from a family of generals, it does not mean that all their subordinates are rough and tumble.
In order to develop their fiefdoms and occupied territories, they did a lot of absorbing scholars from the Song Dynasty, and they also took great pains to win over scholars from the Song Dynasty.
For example, in Dongyang and Xiyang, there were even great Confucians in charge.
Dongyang and Xiyang now have four academies.
The four academies combined helped them cultivate a large number of scholars.
Since they can cultivate it themselves, why use Kou Ji?
Kou Ji saw the doubts in everyone's hearts and said with a smile: "Within five years, I will disclose to the students of Wenchang Academy how to make Hundreds of Tigers and Firebolt Meteor Arrow.
Within ten years, I will teach students how to make firecrackers.
In the future, I will also teach students how to make muskets and artillery."
When Cao Yi and others heard this, they all stared blankly.
"real?"
The clinician spoke without hesitation.
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "When did I, Kou Ji, tell lies?"
Cao Yan pondered and said: "So, the people sent by each of our families will stay here for ten years?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. In fact, there are many things we can learn from Qingguo. For example, more advanced grain cultivation and agricultural tool making.
There are also many aspects of knowledge such as scholarship, agriculture, industry and commerce.
In addition, there are current affairs, military affairs, etc.
I know that the military prowess of each of your families is not inferior to that of our Qing Kingdom.
But when it comes to the application of firearms, none of your families can compare to our Qingguo.
After all, the soldiers and horses of our Qing Kingdom have been using firearms for much longer than the veterans in your armies."
Cao Ji and others looked at each other, and Cao Ji said: "We can send people to study here."
Kou Ji said with a smile: "The tuition fee is not low."
Cao Yan said decisively: "We can afford it."
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction, "That's very good."
After Kou Ji accompanied them to chat about business matters, they started chatting about household matters until midnight before leaving separately.
Both Kou Ji and Cao Yi were very satisfied with this conversation.
Kou Ji felt that maybe in a few years.
Qingguo is a holy land of learning and technology.
In the future, the Qing Kingdom will mainly develop knowledge and technology.
Knowledge and technology are the pillars of the Qing Dynasty.
As long as Qing's culture and technology have always been in a leading position.
Then after the Qing Dynasty, the country will be the country above the country.
The other forces will be reduced to wage earners.
After Kou Ji reached an agreement with Cao Yi and others, he sent Cao Yi and others away from Qingguo.
After Cao Yi and others left Qingguo, Qingguo also completely entered the era of great construction.
Construction sites across Qingguo are bustling with activity every day.
Officials from the Qing Kingdom, large and small, spend every day at the construction site.
But Kou Ji is not much less free than them, and is even busier than them.
Kou Ji accompanied Su Xun to sort out the food books and compile the teaching materials needed by universities at all levels. They were busy and couldn't get enough.
During this period.
Kou Zhun approached Kou Ji and wanted to establish a calendar with Kou Ji.
Kou Ji wholeheartedly agreed, and under Kou Ji's influence, a new world calendar was born.
It's not the Westerners who have the final say, but Kou Ji and Kou Zhun who have the final say.
Kou Zhun and Kou Ji took 221 BC, when the first emperor Ying Zheng proclaimed himself emperor, as the year 1 AD, and compiled the calendar from now on.
According to Kou Zhun's wish, it should be traced back to the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but Kou Ji refused with difficult-to-examine arguments.
The grandfather and grandson discussed it carefully and invited Su Xun, Bao Zheng, Liu Yong, Liang Shi and others for reference.
It was finally decided that 221 BC, when the First Emperor Ying Zheng proclaimed himself emperor, would be the year 1 AD.
According to the newly established calendar, we calculated the time when the Qing Kingdom was established as a country, and it was 1262 AD.
It is more than two hundred years earlier than the calendar established by Westerners.
But there is no world calendar yet. The calendar established by Kou Ji and Kou Zhun is regarded as the world's first standard calendar.
Koji is confident that he will become the world's number one and the only standard calendar.
After the calendar was established, Kou Ji wrote a long letter, describing the functions and benefits of the calendar, and sent it to Zhong Shiheng, Liu Boxu and others.
After the new calendar was established, Kou Zhun came up with the idea of compiling a history book based on the new calendar.
Not long after the idea came up, Kou Zhun put it into action.
Kou Zhun now has a lot of time, energy and money, so he is very enthusiastic about this matter.
Kou Ji felt that this was a great achievement that connected the past with the future, so he did not stop it.
They just sent some young and strong scholars to help Kou Zhun compile a new history book.
The center of history books is naturally the Central Plains, followed by other places in Asia.
With the reference of Dashi books, Kou Zhun could also compile some Western history into the history books.
As long as it can be perfected and can withstand scrutiny, it should have a chance to become the world's best history.
Although the current data is limited to the Eurasian continent.
But even if there is civilization in other places, it is not mainstream civilization.
Even if he has the qualifications to challenge mainstream civilization, he can still be denied by Riot Games.
After the new calendar is completed.
Kou Ji accompanied Su Xun to sort out the existing food books and handed over the translation work.
Then, Kou Ji quietly established a research institute in Wenchang Academy.
Another weapons research institute was established outside Qingdu.
After the two research institutes were established, Kou Ji plunged into them.
Putting all his past and present lives together, Kou Ji has lived long enough.
Some of the knowledge learned in childhood and youth in previous lives is gradually disappearing.
Kou Ji had to put the knowledge on paper and put it into practice before they disappeared.
Kou Ji knows that the older a person is, the faster his memory will decline.
In order to pass on the fire of civilization.
He cannot waste the knowledge that still exists in his mind.
A lot of knowledge can easily disappear from your mind if you don't review it frequently or use it frequently.
For example, in later generations, many people studied arithmetic for more than ten years.
After entering the society, if you don’t have to learn arithmetic for many years, a lot of arithmetic knowledge will quietly leave your mind.
If future generations forget knowledge, they can still retrieve it through books.
But in ancient times, if Kou Ji forgot some knowledge, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that he would not be able to retrieve it.
Kou Ji stayed in the research institute of Wenchang Academy for half a year. After he came out, he only said one sentence.
"I need a suicide squad!"
The people around Kou Ji looked at Kou Ji blankly. They thought that Kou Ji was probably crazy.
"Ji'er?"
Kou Zhun called out cautiously.
Kou Ji felt the worried eyes of Kou Zhun, Su Xun, Bao Zheng and others. He took a few deep breaths and said seriously: "I'm not crazy. I just need something, but there is nothing in this land.
So I need a group of people to help me find it."
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said: "The people of Qing are all your people. There are many people who are willing to die for you."
Kou Ji glanced back at the research institute behind him, let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's better to let others die. I will write back to Zhong Shiheng and others, asking them to send people to do it, and I will provide him with some
Big ship, and sailing experience.”
Kou Zhun was speechless.
Bao Zheng said in a deep voice: "If you want them to work for you, I'm afraid you have to pay a high price."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I know exactly what they want. Let them send a group of worthless efforts and lunatics to take risks. I believe they will not refuse."
Bao Zheng nodded and said nothing more.
Kou Zhun frowned and stared at Kou Ji and said: "If you have anything to do, you can leave it to others. You are now the leader of a country, and the livelihood of the people of the country depends on you. You have been in Wenchang Academy for more than half a year, and you still can't do it."
Not showing up will have a very bad impact."
Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and said seriously: "Grandpa, I know what I know."
Kou Zhun sighed and said: "Don't think that Qingguo is only the size of a bullet and is not worthy of your control. This country is like the earth.
If it is not taken care of for a long time, it will become deserted.
As a farmer, you should not give up farming just because of the scarcity of land."
Kou Ji said frankly: "Grandpa, I don't want to stay here either. It's just that there are some things that I have to do."
Kou Zhun immediately stared and shouted: "Then you don't care about your own family? The Bao family's boy is almost 100 days old! Your wife is also about to give birth. You are going to be a grandfather, do you know?"
"
Kou Ji was stunned, slapped his forehead, and smiled bitterly, "I forgot about it."
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji again, "Then do you know that your daughter is about to be abducted by a boy from the Zhao family?"
Kou Ji subconsciously stared with disbelief on his face.
Kou Zhun hummed and said: "Your son's elbows are turned outward, and he has been running away from the side. The boy from the Zhao family runs very diligently. Although your daughter is overbearing, she can't stand up to others' bullying."
"That's unreasonable!"
Kou Ji gritted his teeth fiercely.
But in the end it didn't happen.
Instead, he quietly dispersed everyone, and then left Bao Zheng behind, asking about the situation of Bao Zheng's heirs and when the Hundred Days Banquet would be held so that he could come to congratulate him and ask Bao Zheng not to blame him.
Bao Zheng didn't blame Kou Ji.
Because he had seen Kou Ji in a fascinated state in the institute.
Kou Ji left Wenchang Academy only after asking Bao Zheng for the time for the 100-day banquet for the eldest son of the Bao family, Bao Qi.
After leaving Wenchang Academy, Kou Ji first returned to his temporary residence.
The inner palace where Kou Ji's family lived has only been roughly built now.
Although the scale is not large, it is very delicate, so it is quite time consuming.
So the people of the Kou Mansion are now living in temporary mansions.
Kou Ji returned home and saw Xiang Yan settling accounts.
These are the accounts of Tianci Bank.
Xiang Yan is the only person in the Kou family, besides Kou Ji, who is proficient in business.
The Kou family now only retains the business of Tianci Bank, and it is managed by Xiang Yan, so Xiang Yan often settles accounts at home.
Seeing Kou Ji appear in front of her, Xiang Yan was also stunned. She put down her account book and looked at Kou Ji with a smile, "Is your majesty the king willing to give it up?"
Kou Ji said dumbfounded: "Okay, stop making fun of me and prepare some gifts for me. I'm going to Bao Mansion to see Xu'er."
Xiang Yan said with a smile: "I thought you came back to see whether Baoqing girl gave you a grandson or granddaughter. I didn't expect it was to see Xu'er."
Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan and said angrily: "Xu'er left her hometown and came here with us. We are the only family members. She gave birth to a child. Shouldn't we go and see her."
Xiang Yan pointed at Kou Ji and said, "You, you... don't worry. I was always with Xu'er during the few days when she gave birth. I stayed with her for ten days after the birth. I won't let Xu'er rush.
To the lonely.
But as Xu'er's brother, you should go and see Xu'er."
Kou Ji nodded.
Xiang Yan ordered someone to prepare a small gift and rushed to Bao Mansion with Kou Ji.
On the way, Kou Ji asked with a gloomy face: "I heard that Zhao Run and Hui'er have a problem."
Xiang Yan said angrily: "God sent that traitor to interfere, and Zhao Run ran diligently. He can only be diligent if there are no problems. After all, your daughter has been raised by you to be a little bully."
Whether it is Bianjing City or Qingguo, the only man of the same age who dares to walk around under your daughter's fist and dare to appear in front of your daughter is Zhao Run."
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Zhao Run's purpose is not pure. And the royal family is not a good place."
Xiang Yan laughed softly and said: "I don't know what stupidity Zhao Run has committed recently. He agreed to the conditions you proposed before. He promised to only marry Hui'er for the rest of his life.
Your daughter was also deceived by his words."
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "The prince will only marry one wife, do you believe it? Can he agree? Can his mother agree? Can his father agree? Can the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty agree?
Does he have the final say in his marriage?"
Xiang Yan pondered and said: "I heard that he has an imperial edict from the government in his hand. It clearly states this matter. But I have never seen it."
Kou Ji glared at Xiang Yan and said, "You allow the two of them to be together just because of that imperial edict without even seeing a hair on it?"
Xiang Yan secretly sighed, "You can't help me. With your daughter's martial arts skills, not many people in the house can stop her, let alone me.
The concubine trapped her in the room and she was able to lift the door.
My concubine has locked the courtyard door, but she can climb over the wall.
She found three or five martial arts experts to follow her, but after a while she was tormenting them horribly.
What can I do?
Using firearms?
If you hurt her, why don't you fight me to the death?"
Kou Ji was full of anger, but had nowhere to express it.
Xiang Yan said quietly: "Grandpa said it well, if a girl doesn't stay in college, she will be miserable if she stays here and there."
Kou Ji snorted, "Call her back later, I will take care of her."
Xiang Yan chuckled and said: "Then I am waiting to see the majesty of your majesty, the king."
Kou Ji snorted and ignored Xiang Yan.
The two of them arrived at Bao's Mansion with gifts, and the door of Bao's Mansion was open.
Since Qingdu was being rebuilt, Baofu was a temporary residence, so the place was not big.
When Kou Ji entered the gate of Bao Mansion, he saw Zhao Xu sitting at the door without any image, eating fruits.
Today's Bao Mansion is a former Goryeo noble house, full of Tang style, but also has some Goryeo style of sitting and sleeping on the floor.
Before the new Bao Mansion was built, Zhao Xu could only reluctantly live in this uncomfortable Bao Mansion, sitting and sleeping on the floor like the Koreans.
Zhao Xu was sitting at the door of the room, not walking in the right direction.
After seeing Kou Ji and Xiang Yan entering the door together, he quickly threw the melon in his hand out and acted like a lady.
"Okay. There are no outsiders here, and no one will criticize your bad words and deeds, so there is no need for you to do this."
Kou Ji said calmly when he walked to the door.
Zhao Xu gave Kou Ji a bright smile, "Brother still understands me."
While talking, Zhao Xu stood up to greet him, but was rejected by Kou Ji.
"The whole family doesn't need to be so polite. When you gave birth, my brother was not with you. I felt guilty, so I didn't dare to let you greet me."
When there is estrangement or misunderstanding between people, or something that can easily cause estrangement or misunderstanding occurs, Kou Jidou will talk it over as soon as possible to avoid it becoming hurt in the end.
When Zhao Xu heard Kou Ji's words, the smile on his face became even stronger, "Brother, as long as he is thinking about my little sister, it doesn't matter whether he stays with her or not."
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "If anything happens at home in the future, I will come over as soon as possible."
Zhao Xu stood up and bowed deeply to Kou Ji, "Thank you for your concern, brother."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Take me to meet my little nephew quickly. I brought him a gift."
Zhao Xu happily agreed, and happily took Kou Ji to see her and Bao Zheng's eldest son.
It sounds strange.
The Song Dynasty was obviously a very romantic era, which produced some great people.
For example, it’s always possible to be defeated.
Another example is someone who doesn’t want to marry more.
Bao Zheng is one of them.
Both in history and now.
According to historical records, after Bao Zheng married his wife, he did not take many concubines and gave birth to an eldest son who died young.
Later, in order to pass on the incense, when he was old, he took in several concubines.
If the eldest son had not died young, Bao Zheng might not be willing to take a concubine.
Zhao Xu took Kou Ji to a bedroom, where there was a cradle. Next to the cradle stood two older nuns, and behind them were two younger ones.
The older grandma is responsible for taking care of the eldest son Bao when he is a child, while the younger grandma has to grow up with the eldest son Bao.
One of them was obviously a wet nurse.
Every time he saw the wet nurse, Kou Ji would criticize the evil old society in his heart.
Under the guidance of Zhao Xu, Kou Ji and Xiang Yan saw the fat boy sleeping soundly in the cradle.
The little guy did not inherit Bao Zheng's thin body. Instead, he grew chubby, very cute and very festive.
