Aristotle IV felt that he had not received the respect of Xiong Jing from beginning to end. When he first arrived in Yingdu, he asked Xiong Jing to greet him in person, but he had never greeted him in person. This action made Aristotle IV very angry at that time, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more unwilling to accept it.

This is a specific manifestation of the barbarians' disrespect for talents, knowledge, and great civilizations. He had no idea what great civilization there was behind him and what great nation there was. Now that he saw King Qinni, he would not be foolish enough to walk to Xianyang before he wanted King Qinni to greet him in person. He must have King Qinni on the border to greet him, otherwise he would not enter King Qinni.

Aristotle IV himself didn't know that he was like a resentful woman. After being abused and abandoned by her ex-husband, he had a distrust towards every man in the future and had to vent the grievances suffered by his ex-husband on the current person. Zhao Zheng, who was suffering from undesirable disasters, had to travel more than a thousand miles westward and greet him in person. Moreover, he had to undergo a series of tests. If the test failed, Aristotle IV would still bring people back home.

Of course, Zhao Zheng did not know that the barbarians were angry with the King of Chu, and finally wanted to vent themselves. With sincerity of seeking talents, he personally left the border the next day and welcomed Aristotle IV into Qin.

His sincere actions were soon discovered by the Chu army scout who was preparing to intercept the Sogdians. The scout rushed to the ambush before the Qin army vanguard arrived and reported to Xiong Jing: "Report to the king, the Qin people have left the country to welcome him."

"How many people come?" Xiong Jing looked south, only the mountains and forests were attracted, but no Qin army.

"There are four or five thousand people." The scout said, "It's only a dozen miles away."

"The Sogdians are only ten miles away." Li Qi shook his head repeatedly. He never expected that the Qin army would leave the country in the direction of Didao. According to the current situation, he had not ambushed the Sogdians, and was about to be attacked by two Qin troops in the front and back. "King, I think..."

Li Qi's intention was self-evident, and Yi Tong also said: "Our army's initiative has been lost, so we should leave here quickly."

After Yi Tong finished speaking, his lips opened and closed again, and he spit out the lip of the word "May". May was the month when the Chu army attacked the old Ying. An important part of the combat plan for the attack on the old Ying was that Xiong Jing led his army to go upstream from the Han River and called on the local old Chu people to rebel against Qin. If Xiong Jing could not arrive or could not arrive in time, the entire war plan would be greatly affected.

The word "May" seemed like a tight curse, which made Xiong Jing give up. He nodded and allowed to retreat. The more than 2,000 Chu and Zhao knights who were ambushing here all retreated northeastward, crossed the Yellow River before the Qin people arrived and disappeared into the vast snow forest.

"Why is the king..." In the camp in the forest, Mi Xuan was piously worshiping the Grand Secretary in order to protect her man. She had just finished bowing to the Grand Secretary's god, and Xiong Jing came back.

"It's not appropriate to do it at the right time." Xiong Jing stood there, and Mi Xuan helped him to remove his armor knowingly.

"Then..." Mi Xuan wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. She hoped Xiong Jing would come back safely, but according to the ceremony, she should encourage him to go out for war.

"I'll return to Chu tomorrow." The maid took the armor and Xiong Jing turned around and hugged Mi Xuan in her arms. After taking a deep breath from behind her shoulders and neck, he praised: "It smells so good!"

"Wuyou Yanzhi..." He was kidnapped by Xiong Jingsheng, and Mi Xuan didn't bring anything. However, the wife and concubine of the Qiang Dahaoshi gave her some female red, jewelry, clothes, and two maids, otherwise she would not even have any clothes to change.

"It's very fragrant without rouge." The woman had her own body fragrance. What Xiong Jing smelled was Mi Xuan's body fragrance. And through the gap between the fur and the skin, he could see the white jade-like roundness in the deep fur. The blood began to rush into the brain again. After just holding Xiong Jing for a while, he let her go. If he didn't let go, he would probably have a nosebleed again.

"What's the matter?" Mi Xuan turned around and looked up at the man.

"Nothing happened." Xiong Jing was very calm, but he betrayed him somewhere in his body. Mi Xuan's skin, which touched this place, suddenly turned red and almost bleeding.

"I have seen the great master. I have entered Qin State in person. I am convinced, so I welcome him..." Aristotle IV finally met Zhao Zheng under the protection of more than 10,000 Qin troops in the valley outside Didao, and Zhao Zheng also met the barbarians. Although it is not certain whether the great master who appeared in Didao eight years later was Aristotle IV, the formal contact between Qin State and the west of Kunlun Mountain was eight years ahead of schedule. In the unchanged history, he had just wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the world that year.

Aristotle IV did not have much enthusiasm for Zhao Zheng. As he imagined, Zhao Zheng was a barbarian king of a lower civilization. It turned out that he thought Qinni was Sparta and called it Sparta Qin. After carefully reading "The Book of Shang Jun" and "Han Feizi", he found that he was wrong.

Sparta had citizens, a general assembly, a council, and an ombudsman. The rights of the city-state were concentrated on the council. Except for the two kings, the remaining twenty-eight people were all nobles. Sparta was a noble (oligarch) who ruled together, but Chinny was not. Chinny had no nobles.

Of course, what kind of people are the nobles? In the view of Aristotle IV, nobles are forces that can compete with the king, rather than servants who can only rely on the king's power. The former can resist the king when interests are hurt, and even fight with the king, while the latter loses the king's trust, he is nothing.

The nobles had territory, army, and private servants who were loyal to themselves. They were luminous bodies; the latter was just a mirror, which reflected the sun's rays and was very dazzling. Once they lost the sun's brilliance, they would become vague. Therefore, Qinni had no nobles, only Persian officials.

So was Qinni a perished Persian Empire? It's very similar, but not.

The Persian Empire implemented the provincial system, and the king appointed the governor of each province, but there were no officials below the governor. Or the governor was a small king. He had many tribes or city-states under his rule, and the tribes had their own chiefs, and the city-states would elect their own representatives.

They paid taxes to the empire and served the emperor in military service, but the tax amount and military service had certain limits. For example, the 16th Provincial of the Persian Empire, which was merged by the Sogdians, Parthians, the Fussus Mo, and the Aliyi people, stipulated that the annual tax payment was 300 tarantes. If this value exceeded, the consent of the Sogdians, Parthians, the Fussus Mo, and the Aliyi people must be obtained. This consent will often turn into a war.

If Qinni's officials were appointed to the pavilion according to the standard of receiving the kingdom's salary, they would govern 250 households; if the standard of receiving the salary, they would be appointed to the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the

The birth, death, property, and family of each household are recorded in the official bamboo slips of Qinni. Because of this, Qinni was able to recruit men from all over the country to the battlefield. The kings and governors of Persia could only rely on words to intimidate and induce and induce and induce the tribes and city-states in the province to send soldiers.

Qinni was not Sparta, not Persia, and of course not Syragu. It seems that the entire known world cannot find a suitable country or city-state to compare it with it. In the view of Aristotle IV, the closest thing to Qinni should be Ptolemy Egypt.

Egyptian bureaucrats have also gone deep into the "village". The village chief is called Kaomak. He has his own clerk, responsible for social stability, public engineering construction, etc. The population of Egypt is about three million, and it has more than 30,000 "villages", each Kaomak governs about one thousand people, which is similar to the population under the jurisdiction of Qinni Yiting.

In addition to officials, there were few merchants in Egypt, including grains, textiles, salt, pyramids, beer, honey, fish, wood, spices... Almost everything is a national specialty, which is very similar to Chinny.

However, Ptolemy Egypt was only close to Qinni, not exactly the same. Egypt had its own unique religion, temples independent of royal power, and a huge priestly class, which Qinni did not have.

Ptolemy's Egyptian army mainly hired Greek soldiers, while Macedonian soldiers fought, and Chinny was not. However, according to the practices mentioned in the Book of Shangjun, Aristotle IV believed that Chinny would soon use mercenaries, because the policy of "weaking civilians" would eventually make civilians useless in combat.

When Zhao Zheng bowed to Aristotle IV, Aristotle IV was thinking about the similarities and differences between Ptolemy and Egypt and Qini, so that after Zhao Zheng bowed, he did not respond at all.

Li Si and Zhao Zheng came together. When he saw that the so-called barbarians were so rude, he was about to scold him, but Zhao Zheng stopped him. He might not know Li Si's intentions, but he did not want Li Si to destroy his image of seeking talents.

"For the known world, because of the barriers between deserts and grasslands, the east of Qinni is just a wilderness." Aristotle IV was slightly distracted and then spoke. Wu Ji, who came from Chu to greet him with Zhao Zheng, translated his words.

"I do not deny that this wild land has civilization," Aristotle IV thought of Xiong Jing and smiled. "However, compared with the civilizations of many Western countries and city-states, due to geographical obstruction and ethnicity, the civilization here is too simple and inferior, especially there are no religions and temples here.
