Volume 3 Chapter 327 Under the Stars
Yangon at night is a jubilant scene at this moment. ☆ Tomato Novels ---.'f'q-x-s'-.-c-om
After the previous battle of Yangon, Lu Ren did not forget to resume production in time in addition to further stabilizing the strategic defense of the Yangon area. Although Yangon was damaged to a certain extent in the Battle of Yangon, it was mainly farmland and villages outside the city that were damaged at that time, and Yangon City itself did not suffer any losses. In other words, the industry and commerce of Yangon City were preserved.
Moreover, although the farmland and villages were damaged, with the climatic conditions of the Yangon area, there was no time to replant after repelling the invading Kushan nobles. In addition, Lu Ren had already made plans to raise troops for a long time at the beginning of the army, so immediately after the arrival of the main force, he transferred part of the troops to reclaim the tuntian, and even the cave soldiers from Nanzhong were pulled by Lu Ren...... In a sense, Tuntian here is no longer just for military rations, but for colonization. Because there is such a thing as land, doesn't it become one's own when you plough it?
Anyway, in a word, Lu Ren is not very good at fighting, but it is Lu Ren's strength to talk about development. The Yangon area has been operating for more than half a year, and now the late autumn season has been very fruitful. The people will naturally rejoice when they see that the place that was devastated by the war only half a year ago still has such a good harvest at this time.
On the other hand, there is another thing that makes the soldiers and civilians here in Yangon very happy, that is, Lu Lan came to Yangon. Although it was only a few small performances, it was a little unpleasant, but under the "idol halo", it added some joy to the Yangon area.
The night was already dark, but people were still singing and dancing around the campfire. However, at this time, the two landing craft, one large and one small, were docked in the harbor, and Lu Lan had already stood by Lu Ren's side, looking at the night view of the bonfire in Yangon with Lu Ren.
After being speechless for a long time, Lu Lan said softly: "My lord, how many years have I been by your side?" ”
Lu Ren said: "It's been almost thirty years. I remember when I took you in, Ziliang, and Zizhen, you were just a dry and thin little girl who was almost starving to death. ”
Lu Lan picked up the words: "But who would have thought that Xiaolan thirty years later would really be a collection of thousands of favors. No matter where you go, there will be people looking at the door. ”
Lu Ren also smiled dumbly. In fact, when Lu Lan was initially pushed onto the stage, Lu Ren didn't expect that Lu Lan's idol influence would eventually reach this level. Strictly speaking, Lu Ren's initial idea was just to bring out the entertainment industry system in Yizhou and enrich the cultural and entertainment life of the people of Yizhou.
In the words of a well-known single-player game, this is "to increase the happiness index of the people". From the political aspect, on the one hand, this can stabilize the people's mood and relieve the psychological pressure of the people; On the other hand, Lu Ren also needs a spiritual idol that can help him rally the people in an unofficial form.
It's just that the influence that Lu Lan actually produced later really made Lu Ren ashamed. Later, when I had to read historical materials, I turned to "The Legend of Xuanzang", and Lu Rencai smiled bitterly and said that he still underestimated the lethality of spiritual idols. You must know that after Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, the degree of popularity and admiration of the people was scary enough in modern society, and the Tang Emperor at that time regarded Xuanzang as a spiritual idol conducive to the rule to worship.
But that's all, because Xuanzang once proposed to the Tang Emperor to give some privileges to the monks and nuns, but the Tang Emperor directly refused. It should be said that Master Xuanzang was too idealistic in some things, and he didn't quite understand that he was just a tool used by the Tang Emperor.
Don't go too far, in short, Lu Ren knows very well that Lu Lan can help him do a lot of things, but Lu Ren will not just treat Lu Lan as a tool like Emperor Tang. In Lu Ren's heart, he has always been full of apologies to Lu Lan, which is the main reason why Lu Ren did not stop Lu Ren when he proposed to Lu Ren to retire.
It's just that this time to reach a solid military alliance with Rome, with the help of Lu Lan's influence on Rome, Lu Ren also had to let Lu Lan run again, so when facing Lu Lan at this time, Lu Ren also didn't know how to face Lu Lan, at least for a while, Lu Ren didn't know how to speak.
How well does Lu Lanna know Lu Ren? Turning his head to look at Lu Ren's expression that seemed to be a little constipated, Lu Lan smiled indifferently, and reached out to hold Lu Ren's hand: "My lord, you are like this again." How many years has this been? What do you want Xiaolan to do, do you need to be so ashamed to say it? ”
Lu Ren felt that Lu Lan's little hands were as soft and silky as the best silk, but he smiled awkwardly: "If this matter were replaced by someone else, I might not think about it too much." But you're Xiaolan, can I not hesitate? ”
Lu Lan also smiled back: "If it was someone else, I would curse him for pretending in front of me." But because you're an adult, I know better than anyone that you're really worried about me. After so many years, what kind of thoughts do you have about me, can I not know in my heart? My lord, I'm actually glad to be able to help you do something. ”
Lu Ren was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Promise me that you can do everything after you go to Rome, but if the Romans make any excessive demands on you, you must not wronged yourself." ”
Lu Lan withdrew her hand, then twisted around and sat on the guardrail, and then handed Lu Ren a smile full of playfulness: "My lord, are you afraid that I will suffer?" Or are you a little jealous? ”
Lu Ren smiled bitterly: "There is a little bit of it." Seriously, if it weren't for the sake of further proving our strength to the Romans, I would be reluctant to let you go all the way to Rome. ”
Lu Lanqi said: "My lord, I really don't understand what you said, and last time you were in the communication secret room, you didn't understand very well." Your Excellency, you say that I am a singing and dancing man who has gone to Rome and said that I am a lobbyist, but have you not sent an official envoy? So how can I help you prove your strength in the past? ”
Lu Ren said: "I really can't say this clearly, I can only tell you this, now you are not only very famous among the nobles of the high families in Rome, and it is very helpful to persuade them with this fame, in their concept, a strong country must not only have strong military and political capabilities, but also have a considerable level in culture and art, so that it can be regarded as a real power, otherwise at best it is just a group of reckless men with empty force." And what we need is full cooperation with the Romans, so it is necessary to let them know our cultural heritage and let them understand that we are no worse than them in every way. ”
Lu Lan said: "Will this be the case?" ”
Lu Ren nodded: "When you get to Rome, if you have time, you might as well go to Greece to have a look, to see their architecture and sculptures, you will understand that they are also very accomplished in culture and art." ”
After hearing this, Lu Lan also nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Ren didn't say this without a target. In fact, the European civilization inheritance is similar to that of Greece and Rome, and the literary and artistic styles in Greek and Roman civilization have also been influencing European thought. Anyway, in their ideological concepts, a truly powerful person must have the corresponding cultural cultivation, otherwise he will definitely be looked down upon. And the so-called "gentleman" is actually a specialty of the European side? As for the word "gentleman", if you really want to put it on the Chinese side, it should be "elegant" to correspond to pure Chinese things.
But it is undeniable that the norms of these "gentlemen" have indeed laid a good foundation for many things in Europe, even if hidden under the appearance of "gentlemen" is the bestiality of wolves that are worse than wolves. For example, a European country that launched World War II was able to recover quickly after the defeat of the Great War, which is related to the fact that their officers were quite well educated. It is said that there was once such a thing, after the officers of this country were captured, they participated in a drinking party in another country, and the officers of another country performed the piano at the drinking party, but the captured officers criticized them for their poor skills, and then they went up to play another game, and the result was amazing, which can show that the officers of this country really have quite good cultural accomplishments.
It's getting farther and farther away, stop. Anyway, Lu Ren sent Lu Lan to Rome to prove to those Romans that he was here with all-round development in both civil and military aspects, and it was right to ask me to be an ally......
He also told Lu Lan some things that he might pay attention to after going to Rome, and Lu Lan also wrote them down one by one. After all that talking, it was getting late, at least the campfires in Yangon. And Lu Lan looked up at the night sky after Lu Ren finished saying that, and then smiled strangely at Lu Ren: "My lord, I'm ready to go to Rome, so before going to Rome, in addition to what you want to explain to me, didn't you think about saying anything else to me?" ”
Lu Ren was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he reach out and scratch his head: "Can we stop talking about this?" ”
Lu Lan jumped down from the guardrail and shook Lu Ren's hand again. But this time, Lu Lan pressed Lu Ren's hand to her heart: "Don't forget, my lord, after I finished my trip to Rome, I am going to go to other places to have a look." So I don't know how long it will take to come back. And what I am most concerned about in my heart, who else can there be besides you, an adult? ”
Although Lu Ren's hand was pressed on Lu Lan's heart, his fingers did not move at all. To put it elegantly, this palm pressed on Lu Lan's heart was just feeling Lu Lan's heartbeat. Looking at Lu Lan's smiling but calm pretty face in front of him, Lu Ren couldn't help it, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaolan, I will have evil thoughts if you are like this." ”
Lu Lan responded with a smile: "It's good that you will be born, I'm afraid that you are still the same as before, even if you are facing me, you are still so, so ......"
After a slight hesitation, Lu Lan smiled strangely at Lu Ren again: "So like a eunuch." ”
“……”
Lu Ren was a little speechless. After all, Lu Lan is Lu Lan, and among the women around Lu Ren now, Lu Lan has been by Lu Ren's side the longest, and even the "poison" by Lu Ren is the deepest. Although after becoming an idol, some aspects of words and deeds are no longer visible, but when it comes to a certain time, it is really unbearable.
Looking at Lu Lan lightly, she leaned into Lu Ren's arms, and her tone was soft: "You promised me at the beginning, my lord, if I haven't been able to marry myself by the time I'm thirty years old, then you will reluctantly accept me." Now I'm almost forty, speaking of which, that's also giving you ten more years of time and delaying your youth for ten more years, don't you think you should fulfill the promise you made to Xiaolan now? ”
"This ......"
Lu Lan stretched out her finger against Lu Ren's lips, and the smile on her face did not decrease: "But the most important thing is that I don't know when I will be back after I go, and maybe I may encounter something unexpected during the journey." So I need a concern in my heart, and I also need to let myself not leave any regrets. Adult, you have always understood Xiaolan best, will you let Xiaolan embark on a journey with such dissatisfaction? ”
With a smile on his face, the naughty and strange smile resurfaced: "Besides, I'm almost forty years old, and instead of being an ugly girl, I'm still a beautiful woman who has fascinated all beings, but because of you, adult, I'm still a virgin/child, is this reasonable?" My lord, I am not a saint in the temple, and I definitely don't want to be a saint who guards herself for the sake of the gods in this life. I dare to say that no one will refuse if I change to another man, but do you want to be Megumi Yanagishita so much, my lord? ”
Lu Ren was dumbfounded: "Be a ghost!" I've been reluctant to touch you, okay? ”
Lu Lan hugged Lu Ren a little tighter, and said with a bit of infatuation: "Don't be reluctant anymore, okay?" Don't let me go on a journey with that bit of infatuation when I get to this point. Adult, in fact, many times you really don't understand the hearts of our girls' families, and our girls' families are often willing to do anything for the sake of their beloved. ”
Lu Ren was speechless, so he could only reach out and scratch his head again. After a few more glances at Lu Lan, who had a little more hazy beauty under the starlight, Lu Ren really couldn't help it. Whether it's on the psychological level or the physical level, I really can't help it.
Raising his hand to lift Lu Lan's chin, Lu Ren's lips quietly moved up, but Lu Lan closed her eyes slightly and gave Lu Ren her red lips.
It's a pretty good picture, but it's a little bit of a dissonance. Normally, at this time, it is the girl who points her toes, but now it is Lu Ren who points her toes. Lu Ren is one hundred and seventeen tall, but Lu Lan is one hundred and seventy-three. It's a little taller than Lu Ren, but Lu Lan's feet are a pair of five or six centimeter high heels......
