Volume 3 Chapter 323 Cooperation and Containment (2)

However, when the foreigners in Rome arrived in Yizhou, they did not disclose their identities because of some related considerations, and they only claimed that they were the people who came to Yizhou to do business, and there will be some foreigners here in Yizhou from time to time to do business, so people are not surprised by the appearance of foreigners. Of course, Lu Renyou sent someone to come with the fleet of the Roman envoys, and secretly informed Xun Yu that the matter was done by the people sent by Lu Ren.

Xun Yu is a strategist, and he has repeatedly discussed with Lu Ren on the issue of the Central Asian battlefield, so he knows Lu Ren's intentions very well, and the hospitality of these Roman envoys is naturally very in place. However, Xun Yu didn't expect that entertaining them to see a song and dance drama would make these Romans so excited, and asked Xun Yu for ...... Note that it is a request and not a request, and the difference is a word, and the meaning is a long time off. Anyway, these Romans very much hope to meet Lu Lan.

Xun Yu was also a little confused about these things, but the Romans' request was not excessive, so after thinking about it, he invited Lu Lan over. It's just that Xun Yu doesn't know what will happen next.

Lu Lan was also a little puzzled after listening to Xun Yu's narration here, so she could only hand her inquiring gaze to Shirley. Shirley pondered for a long time before she said, "I have some ideas, but I don't know if it's right. Otherwise, let's go ask Senior Brother in the evening. ”

If you have agreed, concentrate on the banquet. At the banquet, those Romans would come over to talk to Lu Lan from time to time, and the words of praise for Lu Lan could really be described as a string after a string. But other than that, there was nothing else excessive. As for their attitude towards Lu Lan, it should give people the impression that they regard Lu Lan as a person of noble status.

On the other hand, Lu Lan has a very rich experience in this kind of thing, and her attitude towards the Romans is neither humble nor arrogant, coupled with her fluent Latin, there is no obstacle to communication between her and the Romans, which makes the translation seem a little redundant.

Xun Yu also took the time to ask Lu Lan, and Lu Lan was full of surprise and said that these Romans had known themselves for a long time, or had heard their own songs...... In fact, this is not unexpected, many of the gramophones made by Lu Ren and Shirley were sold to Rome, so Lu Lan's records are naturally indispensable. According to the Romans, the Roman emperor didn't sound finished, and the gramophone and the record didn't know how much they had broken down.

Finally the banquet ended, Lu Lan, Xun Yu, and Shirley also slipped into the communication secret room in Lu Ren's mansion and connected to the hologram dialogue with Lu Ren. After telling Lu Ren everything, Lu Ren was silent for a long time before saying, "Do you know why I have always advocated asking the people to go out and have a look?" Many times our people are a little arrogant, thinking that those so-called extraterritorial countries are just like that, but in fact, other countries, other civilizations, also have a lot of things that we should learn from. ”

Next, Lu Ren gave Xun Yu and Lu Lan a lesson, talking about the cultural system of Roman civilization, but mainly talking about the artistic aspects of Rome.

Ancient Roman art mostly inherited Greece and Etruscan, the Romans worshiped Greek art, so a large number of Greek art forms were quoted, and therefore lacked originality, but the Romans and the Greeks valued ideals, and liked to use abstract and generalized concepts in artistic creation, the Romans were more realistic, practical, and preferred concrete, real objects, although ancient Rome attached great importance to the development of Greek art, but also retained its own artistic characteristics, with architecture and sculpture being the most representative. Majestic public buildings, such as the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and the Arch of Constantine, show the grandeur of the empire. The carving emphasizes authenticity and naturalness, and expresses the pragmatic character of the Romans.

To put it simply, the art of ancient Rome was very high, and people had a somewhat paranoid love for art. On this basis, the stage drama of the ancient Roman Empire was very developed, and later evolved into those so-called royal stage drama systems. Dramas, operas, ballets, and the like should all be derived from this.

On the other hand, Huaxia doesn't seem to have these things, at least it's not so perfect. Although there are operas, the chaotic regionality is too strong, and the overall form is difficult to unify. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that "Yuan Qu" appeared, and then it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that representative Peking Opera appeared.

The most important thing is that the social status of the actors has always been very low, belonging to the bottom of the "lower ninth rate", but the situation is not very serious in the West, at least it will not be looked down upon as much as here in China. And a successful artist in the West will not have a low social status, and he will be sought after anyway. At least at least, people in aristocratic circles who don't know how to appreciate art will definitely be looked down upon by other aristocrats, and the social status of the actors has also been affected by some benign influences. It can also be said that how can people who appreciate art not respect people who engage in art? Isn't that a slap in the face?

(This is a bit of nonsense, so please don't take it too seriously.) )

After listening to these explanations, Xun Yu and Lu Lan somewhat understood something. And Lu Ren looked at Lu Lan, his eyebrows furrowed and he wanted to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't say it.

How many years has Lu Lan been by Lu Ren's side? What kind of temper does Lu Ren have, Lu Lan can not be clear? After looking at Lu Ren's appearance of wanting to speak, Lu Lan smiled at Lu Ren: "My lord, if you have anything you want to say, just say it." ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "You have already retired, I really don't want to trouble you anymore." ”

Xun Yu actually guessed what Lu Ren was trying to say, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Yihao, we shouldn't trouble Xiaolan anymore, but the stakes are very high, don't you think?" ”

Lu Ren was also silent, and then Lu Lan smiled after looking at the two: "My lord, Xun Gong, I guessed what you were thinking." It's okay, I wanted to go out and have a look, and it's not a big deal to help you run by the way. Otherwise, I wouldn't have learned Latin. ”

Lu Ren was stunned, and then remembered that when Lu Lan told him that he wanted to go out and have a look, he had said that he wanted to go to Rome to have a look, but Lu Ren thought that Lu Lan was joking, or that he was not so serious, but he didn't expect that Lu Lan was really prepared and even learned Latin.

He shook his head helplessly at the moment, and said with a dry smile: "Is this the will of heaven?" The best person to visit Rome seems to be none other than Xiaolan. ”

Some people may say that although Lu Lan is Lu Ren's person, Lu Lan does not have the status of an official official, so is it appropriate for Lu Lan to be an energy conservator?

That's not what I said. In fact, in diplomacy, although the official identity and ability of the envoy are important, there is another issue to be considered is the knowledge and influence of the envoy in the other party's country. If you choose the right one, diplomacy can get twice the result with half the effort; But if you don't choose the right one, then the other party is likely to think that you look down on them, and the next thing will be more troublesome.

Let's put it this way, there have been many times in history when a country wanted the other country to send someone designated by its own side to visit. Whether it's for political purposes, or pure admiration, this kind of thing is not unusual.

And now Lu Lan has actually encountered this situation. Through previous contacts and conversations, Lu Lan had already learned that the current Roman emperor was actually his fan, at least his own singing conquered the other party, and then Lu Ren immediately realized this at this time. And Lu Ren also realized that the idol effect would definitely come in handy at this time, at least the Roman emperor must have wanted to see Lu Lan very much while being obsessed with Lu Lan's singing.

Such a thing was suddenly difficult for people at that time to understand, but Lu Ren, who came from modern times, can be said to have a deep understanding. Let's put it this way, although Lu Ren hates the island country, he still likes the cartoons, anime and games produced in the island country...... Ahem, the cartoons and games mentioned here don't include the "love action system", but the ones that are serious. And those voice actors who voice the characters will also attract people's attention because of the successful portrayal of the characters, and then it will draw people's attention to the real situation of these voice actors in reality.

In fact, the situation like Lu Ren is quite good, but he pays more attention to and likes it, and he is not a fan, or as long as he hears that it is dubbed by these voices, he can basically determine whether this cartoon animation or game work is worth watching or playing. But in the island country where it is produced, these successful voice actors often have a large number of die-hard fans behind them, and many voice actors who are also good in their own conditions have used the support of these fans to build themselves into all-round stars. Especially in a certain series of games, it is even more direct to let the voice actors go to COS game characters, and they have also created a relatively successful stage drama series, and there are many fans who support them......

Ahem, not too far. Anyway, Lu Ren knew that if Lu Lan was sent to the Roman Emperor at this time, it would also have some benign persuasive effect on the Roman Emperor at the very least. Besides, our Xiaolan's own conditions will be poor? Compared with those voice actors who have good voices but are dinosaurs during the blowout development period of a certain voice actor in an island country, Lu Lan can definitely throw them out of the streets. Even Lu Ren was maliciously guessing whether the Roman emperor would immediately fall under Lu Lan's pomegranate skirt when he saw Lu Lan himself.

So therefore, Lu Ren came up with the idea of letting Lu Lan go to Rome, but it was really difficult to open this mouth to Lu Lan. Lu Ren is like this, and Xun Yu is not much worse. But compared with some of Lu Ren's emotional affairs, Xun Yu will pay more attention to reality, so Xun Yu has Lu Ren not opening his mouth, so he will persuade Lu Lan's preparation. And now Lu Lan herself said that she was willing to go, which saved Lu Ren and Xun Yu a lot of things.

But although the words were all said, Lu Ren was still a little reluctant. After hesitating for a while, Lu Ren whispered to Lu Lan: "Xiaolan, I thought that if you go to Rome, you will probably have to hold some concerts or musical performances or something, but you have already announced your retirement, isn't it a bit ...... to do so?"

Lu Lan smiled: "It's okay, just say it's a tour before the retirement." But my lord, before I go to Rome, I want to visit you first. ”

Saying that, Lu Lan winked mischievously at Lu Ren like a little girl, causing Lu Ren to cough violently. Seeing this, Xun Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled Shirley, who had not yet reacted, out of the communication secret room......

————————————————————

The Roman envoy returned and brought with him the diplomatic envoys here from Lu Ren, but he did not bring Lu Lan. Speaking of which, Lu Lan is not an official under Lu Ren after all, and has no official diplomatic status, so the diplomatic envoy is someone else, but Lu Lan will definitely go to Rome later, and this is a guarantee to the Roman envoy.

On the other hand, Lu Lan wants to go out to see the world, and Lu Ren also has to prepare a lot of things for Lu Lan here, like Lu Ren said before that he would hand over another small landing craft to Lu Lan after it was renovated, otherwise where can Lu Ren put his mind at ease?

All in all, Lu Lan still has to make some corresponding preparations here, and after the Roman envoys saw a lot of things in Yizhou, they fully affirmed Lu Ren's strength, and just waited for them to return to Rome to return to the Roman emperor.

I won't talk much about things here for the time being, let's first say that Cao Pi has just ended the verbal war with Liu Bei and is hiding in the territory to restore national strength. And Cao Pi is not a good bird, after the battle is over, the merit has been established, and the prestige of sitting on the throne of the Duke of Wei is also there, Cao Pi is a little dissolute.

Cao Pi's lust is not under his Lao Tzu, and it is clearly recorded in the calendar that Cao Pi immediately accepted all the women except for a few women who really couldn't touch after the death of Lao Cao, and it was also day and night, day and night, and his mother Bian had publicly scolded Cao Pi. And Cao Pi only served as the emperor for six years before he hung up, and he was only in his forties when he died, and the plot was inseparable from Cao Pi's excessive wine.

Although the current Cao Pi has not been able to become the emperor, to be honest, it is all a false name, how much is the difference between Cao Pi's actual life and the emperor? Seeing that the throne was firmly seated, Cao Pi's inferior nature also emerged and played with women...... Forget it, let's not talk about this.

On this day, Cao Pi was playing, and suddenly someone came to report that there was a secret envoy asking to see him, which made Cao Pi's boss unhappy. But Cao Pi is still a person who knows how to do business, and after blowing away a bunch of beauties around him, he asked people to bring the secret envoy here directly to meet.

Not long after, the secret envoy was led to Cao Pi, but Cao Pi was surprised to find that this secret envoy was actually a woman. Probably because he can't see the light because he is a secret envoy, this secret uses a black veil to cover all the things that should be covered, including the face, but it gives people the feeling that it is a little more mysterious. It's just that in this way, the black gauze also highlights the extremely attractive figure of this secret envoy, and the delicate curves are very attractive, so people can't help but want to step forward and tear off all the black gauze on her body roughly......
