Li An loved to pamper wild Western girls the most. This kind of feeling was quite pleasant. It was just like when you were drinking, there would always be someone to drink with you. It was very enjoyable.
Everything could only be satisfying when you enjoyed it to the fullest. If you always suppressed your heart, you would be very unhappy and depressed. Venting your various emotions to your heart's content was the most perfect way to maintain good health.
Of course, the premise was that he couldn't harm the interests of others and couldn't make others feel bad. If he forced others to be like him, it wouldn't be good. His own happiness should be built on the happiness of others, not on the pain of others.
The enjoyment between Ang Lee and Li Xiaolu was based on the premise that both sides were very happy. No one forced the other, and no one made the other unhappy.
In the culture of Hua Xia, meal time was also the time to chat. Chatting during meal time had always been the favorite thing of the people of Hua Xia. If you didn't talk during meal time, it would make many people feel uncomfortable, as if the meal was in vain.
Of course, this practice had advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that you could use meal time to communicate, and the disadvantage was that it was not conducive to digestion.
When eating, one should eat seriously and not talk too much, because talking would affect one's digestive function. In serious cases, it could even cause indigestion, which could lead to unpredictable consequences.
Doctors in later generations advised people not to chat during meal time. They should eat seriously. If there was something to say, then it was not too late to say it after eating.
But this was a very unrealistic ideal situation. If you don't chat during meal time, then when should you chat? Only chatting during meal time was the most lively and the most effective way to communicate. Outside of meal time, this kind of relationship would be greatly reduced. Therefore, the people of Hua Xia would choose to chat during meal time to pass the boring time. As for the situation of indigestion, no one would consider it at all. Who would care about such a boring thing? At worst, they would go to the hospital or eat less.
For chatting during meal time, the people of Hua Xia were the most particular. For this reason, they developed a very rich and colorful drinking table culture, which poisoned people thousands of years later. The people of Hua Xia in later generations couldn't survive in this society if they didn't understand the drinking table culture, and it was easy for them to hurt themselves.
However, a person couldn't change the entire society. In order to survive better, they could only choose to adapt to the society. Just like animals and plants, if they wanted to survive, they must adapt to the climate of nature. If they couldn't adapt, then there was only a dead end.
Ang Lee was relatively adapted to the drinking table culture. No matter what happened, he could solve it with ease. Chatting and talking during meal time was a common occurrence. It was almost regular.
After teasing Li Xiaolu, Li An suddenly had the mood to give a speech. He was surrounded by his own subordinates and Osman's subordinates. However, not many of Osman's subordinates could understand the Tang language. Thus, even if Li An wanted to give a speech, it would be for his own subordinates. The topic he was going to give a speech about was naturally related to the pyramids. After all, Li An was going to leave early in the morning to visit the pyramids. If he explained the situation of the pyramids to his subordinates now, it would be beneficial for them to understand the pyramids and be more willing to visit the pyramids.
Ang Lee put down the wine glass in his hand, walked to the middle of the soldiers who were eating barbecue, and said loudly, "Soldiers, do you know what the pyramid we are going to visit tomorrow morning is?"
"Pyramid? What is it? I have never heard of it. Yes! I have never heard of it. "
"Are we going to visit the pyramid tomorrow? Will there be gold in it? "
"Pyramid? Don't tell me it's a tower made of gold? My goodness, that's too valuable. "
"Good heavens, what about a gold mountain?"
"Assistant Minister Li, what is the pyramid? Is there gold in it? "
Many of his subordinates were talking at once.
Ang Lee smiled, looked at his subordinates, and explained, "There must be gold in the pyramid, and there is a lot of it. Hahaha! "
After saying that, he looked at his subordinates and found that they were all looking at Ang Lee with surprise. Many soldiers showed a yearning look in their eyes. Who didn't like gold in the world?
"There is really gold in the pyramid. I don't know if we can take some back."
"If each of us can take a piece of gold, then we will be rich, very rich."
"I didn't expect there to be gold in the pyramid. It is really unexpected. We must go and see it!"
"Assistant Minister Li, how much gold is in the pyramid? Is it as much as this cart of red dates?"
"Country bumpkin, how much is this cart? The pyramid is called a tower, so there must be a lot of gold in it. How can there only be so much gold in this cart?"
"But if there is really so much gold, why is it always in the tower? Has no one robbed it?"
"Yes! Has the gold in the pyramid been robbed? "
Many of his subordinates said eagerly.
"I'm afraid no one knows how much gold is in the pyramid. However, the gold and the gold decorations are all inside the pyramid. There are only huge stones outside the pyramid. The entrance to the underground palace is also blocked by huge stones. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in!"
Ang Lee said, which dampened the spirits of many soldiers.
Many soldiers were disappointed when they heard that the gold in the pyramid was in the pile of huge stones. However, they were not too disappointed. After all, as long as there was gold in the pyramid, it was enough. So what if the pyramid was protected by huge stones? They could still dig it out. At worst, they could just destroy the whole pyramid.
Of course, some soldiers had doubts. They thought that since there was gold in the pyramid, why didn't anyone find a way to dig it out? As long as the pyramid was dug out, they could get the gold inside.
If the pyramid had not been dug out, did it mean that the pyramid was very strong and could not be dug out by human strength? If so, how could they dig it out?
However, some soldiers did not think so. They thought that the Tang dynasty had advanced gunpowder. If they really could not dig it out, they could use explosives to blow it up. As long as the pyramid was blown up, all the problems would be solved. Was there anything in the world that could not be solved by explosives? Obviously, it was impossible. There was nothing that could not be solved by a ton of explosives. If it was not enough, they could always blow up the pyramid with 100 carts.
Looking at the complicated expressions of the soldiers, Ang Lee continued, "Soldiers, let's go to the pyramid. We have to find the entrance and exit of the pyramid. If we are lucky enough to find it, maybe we can go in and have fun? If we can't find it, it is not bad to play outside the pyramid. The pyramid is very magnificent, and the legend about the pyramid is even more interesting. Do you want to hear it? "
After that, he looked at his subordinates.
How could his subordinates not want to hear the story? When they heard that Ang Lee was going to tell a story, they were all very happy and excited. Even several of Osman's trusted subordinates looked at Ang Lee curiously. After all, they originally lived in the Arabian area near Egypt. Logically speaking, they should know more about the pyramids than Ang Lee. At this moment, they had to listen to Ang Lee tell the story of the pyramids, which made them feel somewhat strange. Of course, they were also looking forward to it and wanted to know what Ang Lee knew about the pyramids.
Since everyone pricked up their ears to listen to his story, Ang Lee had to tell the story seriously. He had to tell the story well.
Many of the stories were only deciphered in later years. Therefore, even people who lived in Egypt for a long time might not know the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids.
"Everyone, I am holding a model of the pyramid in my hand. The shape of this model is very similar to the gold of the Tang dynasty. Most of you are literate, so you should know how to write gold! Isn't it very similar to this model? "
Ang Lee held the model of the pyramid in his hand and said.
The soldiers nodded repeatedly. Although these guys did not have high academic qualifications, they still had the basic ability to read. They were all literate soldiers. Many of the soldiers came from small landowners and ordinary middle-class farmers. It was not a problem for them to fill their stomachs. When they were young, they could learn to read with a little education. It did not cost much.
Ang Lee continued, "This is what the pyramid looks like. Look carefully, it looks like this. However, this model is too small. The real pyramid is very large, about 100 steps high, more than ten times higher than the city wall of Chang 'an. Its volume is also very large. Every stone used to build such a pyramid is very heavy. The smallest one needs dozens of people to lift, and the bigger one is even heavier. Even 100 people may not be able to lift it!"
After that, he looked at the expressions of the people.
Osman's subordinates more or less knew about the pyramids. Of course, they knew that every stone used to build the pyramids was very heavy. However, the soldiers of the Tang dynasty had never been to Egypt, so they naturally did not know about the pyramids. They were all confused and curious, as if they were listening to a story.
"Assistant Minister Li, if 100 people can't lift it, how did they build it? And it's so tall. How much manpower did it take? It's not inferior to the Great Wall of the Tang dynasty! "
"That's right! How did they build such huge stones to a height of 100 meters? It's too difficult. "
"It's estimated that at least 100,000 people are needed to build it. Maybe more people are needed."
Many of the soldiers of the Tang dynasty said.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "That's right. In order to build the pyramids, the pharaohs of Egypt often used hundreds of thousands of people and spent decades to build them. The cost is very high. As for how to build the huge stones, it's not difficult at all. As long as there is enough manpower, such a task can be completed. How much manpower did Qin Shi Huang use to build the Great Wall? I'm afraid it's many times more than what the pharaohs used!"
The soldiers all showed an expression of sudden realization because what Ang Lee said was very reasonable. As long as the emperor had a demand, the people under him would do their best to fulfill it. In this way, no matter how big the project was, there would not be too much of a problem. It was just that the ordinary people would suffer. Perhaps it was the same for slaves. If slaves participated in the construction, they could be abused to death at any time. Even if the ordinary people were recruited for labor, many people would die.
For example, in order to build the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang recruited a lot of labor, causing a lot of manpower loss. Many people lost their lives because of the construction of the Great Wall. The losses were extremely heavy. It could be said that it was a history of blood and tears. Behind the tall and magnificent Great Wall was the blood and tears of too many people working hard. The same was true for the pyramids. The construction of the pyramids was also full of blood and tears. The number of Egyptian laborers who died in the construction of the pyramids was definitely not small. As for the losses, because it was too long ago, no one would know. In short, a large number of people must have died.
Ang Lee continued, "Do you know? The interior of the pyramids is very magical. The gold and silver treasures are not worth mentioning. The Tang dynasty did not lack gold and silver treasures. The key is that there is a very mysterious power inside. This mysterious power can prevent the body from rotting, even after thousands of years. The body of the pharaoh is inside the pyramids. Now, thousands of years have passed, but there is no sign of decay. "
After that, he looked at his subordinates and enjoyed their envious eyes.
Ang Lee was telling the truth. There was such a mysterious power inside the pyramids. This power was supernatural and very magical. Many scientists were very happy to study it.
In the future, because the pyramids were open to the public, people could visit the pyramids as long as they spent a little money. Therefore, many people chose to go to the pyramids to have a look.
When a scientist visited the pyramids, he found that there were many dried animal corpses inside. In other words, these animals had directly become dried meat without the slightest embalming treatment. It was very magical.
After all, the environment inside the pyramids was cool, not hot desert. In such a cool environment, how could there be so many dried corpses? This attracted the attention of scientists, and they carried out various studies.
