Chapter 157 This is a barrier
Under the leadership of the general manager, Zhao Fubo checked the royal family of the Byzantine Empire. (Whatever he liked, the sensible general manager would paint off the booklet. But sometimes, Zhao Fubo looked at it and threw it aside again, and the general manager had to add the item again on the booklet.
When Zhao Fubo and his wives left the palace, they saw even more spectacular buildings. On the west side of the palace was the huge Constantinople Arena, which was completely imitated by the Roman Maximus Arena. There were many columns, as well as marble and bronze statues, and an ancient obelisk brought from Egypt stood in the center. The racing lane was covered with sand, and eight carriages could be driven side by side. The surrounding stands could accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch the game. All of this could be seen from the palace.
Outside the north gate of the arena is Augustus Square paved with black marble. The Mercedes Avenue guarded by the colonnade leads to the distance of the city. When the winter comes, the emperor ordered wooden boards to be nailed between the colonnades of Mercedes Avenue to protect the poor from the strong northeastern wind. To the north of Augustus Square is the huge Hagia Sophia Cathedral. Not far to the west is the circular Plaza of Constantine. This is the largest center of business and political activities in Constantine, and to the north is the Imperial Senate. The dozens of wide marble steps in front of its gate are forums for the politicians to speak to the public. A giant banyan column dozens of meters high stands in the center of the square, and the bronze statue of Constantine the Great in the image of Apollo.
The Byzantine Empire was a commemoration of the glory of the Roman Empire in the past. With such a building, even if Zhao Fubo had never seen the arena of the past, he would be very moved by such a building.
"You Europeans are really cruel. You just look at the fight between slaves, and don't know what they are thinking!"
Zhao Fubo's words certainly caused a lot of people. Except for only one Amina, even Qili, they would inevitably be a little angry. In response, Zhao Fubo pretended to be enlightened.
"Ah, what I said just now is a bit wrong. It's because the Europeans are too cruel, and they are worse than our Eastern royal family!"
"Is that true? I wonder what the punishment for the five horses to dismember the wine pond and meat forest in King Zhou of Shang, and the cannon and the bamboo shoots?"
Zhao Fubo shook his head. Although he was fighting in time, he read very little books.
"Ah, this...Dear, haven't you noticed it? Those are all punishments!"
"Hmph, is that right? Is it also a punishment for men and women to bet on the belly of a pregnant woman?"
With a sneer, the expression on her face was like jelly. She wanted to see how Zhao Fubo would explain this matter. If he could justify himself, wouldn't he have seen a ghost?
"Hey, I knew you would use those things as examples. Do you think it seems to be doing scientific experiments? Of course, Daji's methods are a little cruel, but as high-level animals, experimental animals such as rabbits and mice, they are all animals in essence. Dear, I don't think Daji can't criticize too much, after all, our methods with her are just 50 steps and 100 steps!"
Of course, Zhao Fubo's sophistry will be laughed at by others, and it is naturally indispensable to face the attacks of women.
"Well, it's my fallacy that I'm here that has affected everyone's interest. Do I think this is the case? I'll treat everyone to dinner at noon and I'll all be apologized. Ladies, please let me go!"
Zhao Fubo's words not only caused laughter from his wives, but also caused jokes from others. This person is not someone else, but the king of Syria - Azam Tulansha Sultan. He did not leave with his fleet. On the contrary, he still has many important things to do here. In his opinion, the layout of "Aladdin-Akkad" this time is no longer ingenious.
Moreover, this time, Syria harvested a small half of the territory of the Byzantine Empire, which was covered with the rich sandy Black Sea and the Mediterranean coast. Needless to ask, this would be more attractive to him than the desert areas within the Arab Empire. But things would not end so simply. After all, King Baibls Bendugadari of Egypt, a fleet of 150 warships was still parked on the Aegean Sea, and a "fighting war" must take place there to achieve the result.
Despite this, Azam Tulansha Sultan is still somewhat worried about the future. He does not want to fight again with the Holy See because of territorial matters in the future. Because he heard that Pope Innocent IV, from a certain perspective, also had allies of the "Huaxia Empire", which made him worry. If the "Huaxia Army" returned to the East with "Aladdin-Akkad", wouldn't he want to confront the Byzantine Empire? If this is the case, it would be a great threat to Syria's security.
Therefore, for the long-term stability of his country, Azam Tulansha Sultan had to risk the possibility of provoking "Aladdin-Emperor Akkad" to discuss the meaning of his aide with Zhao Fubo.
"Emperor, before I came, I saw the bay in the north of the city. The place was called Golden Horn Bay, which is a natural harbor with excellent conditions. It is about 10 kilometers long, the main channel is about 460 meters wide, and there are multiple branch waterways for a large number of ships to berth. Since ancient times, it has been a place where merchant ships around the world gather, bringing wealth to local residents, so it is called "Sheep Horn". It is said that "Sheep Horn" is a symbol of harvest and wealth in Greek mythology.
Not only that, there is also a huge port where you can defend against attacks from all sides by relying on the terrain of the mountains and water, and use convenient water and land transportation to develop commerce. I have always been worried that if there is no powerful fleet here, will there be conflicts due to huge interests?
Zhao Fubo, who was interrupted, was indeed a little unhappy. He turned his eyes and felt in his heart that he wanted to force Azam and Tulansha Sultan to be on the ground, as if he had asked him for Shi Xuerong back then.
"Your Majesty, I heard that greed is not a virtue, although your fleet...!"
"I think you misunderstood. Of course, my fleet is nothing. And such a rich place is occupied by people like me who know nothing. That is a waste. So if the Black Sea Fleet under your command is stationed here, I think it will be possible to maintain regional peace for a long time!"
"Regional peace is related to my bird's affairs, but..."
But what, let’s talk about it next chapter!
