I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【Afterwards. 】

【Antony threw the problem of resettling the army to Octavian. 】

【Because resettling soldiers requires the requisition of a large amount of land, and these lands need to be forcibly requisitioned from Roman citizens. 】

……

“Will this person choose the army or the citizens?”

In the dimension of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che looked at the huge screen in the sky with interest.

Antony’s plan was not very clever, it was an open plan.

If the land is not allocated to the soldiers who won the battle, the soldiers will be offended and the support of the army may be lost.

But forcibly requisitioning the land of citizens will offend the citizens and lose the support of the people.

For Octavian, this must be a matter of choosing one or the other, and there is no way to have the best of both worlds.

……

【Faced with the contradiction, Octavian firmly stood on the side of the soldiers, forcibly implemented the resettlement policy, and did not hesitate to use force to suppress the resistance of civilians. 】

【He knew very well that safeguarding the interests of soldiers and winning their support was definitely the right choice in times of war. 】

……

Ancient people of all dynasties had different opinions on Octavian's approach.

Some people thought it was too cruel.

Some people thought it was the most reasonable choice.

……

【After the policy was implemented, Octavian also eliminated all dissident officials. 】

【After the enemies outside the alliance were eliminated, Octavian began to change his governing philosophy. He no longer ruled the country by force, but reduced taxes and built infrastructure and temples. 】

【Because he knew that the next struggle needed public support. 】

【At the same time, he also made a big fuss about his victory over the fleet and pirates of Pompey's remnants and resolved Italy's food crisis, gradually shaping his image as a "people's savior." 】

The barrage flew out:

"Too cool, the main point is flexibility."

"Really strong, too clear-headed, completely understand what to do and when."

"Antony and Lepidus lost unjustly. In terms of politics, these two are not Octavian's opponents at all."

"Reply-Antony can lead the army to fight, but his political means are far inferior."

"..."

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin showed admiration.

This person is indeed extraordinary.

Can always maintain an accurate judgment of the national situation and make the right decisions in time.

Such ability is very powerful.

……

【In 33 BC, Lepidus, one of the three giants, surrendered to Octavian. 】

【In 30 BC, Antony committed suicide after being defeated by Octavian in the civil war. 】

【Years of civil war had made Rome a country without laws, but the Roman people were not ready to accept an absolute monarch. 】

【Therefore, Octavian disbanded his army in 28 BC, indicating that he would return power to the people. 】

【However, he also formed the Guards to maintain law and order. 】

【In 27 BC, the Senate awarded him the title of "Augustus", which means sacred and great. 】

【At this point, Octavian had power comparable to that of a dictator. 】

【And "Augustus" not only became Octavian's name, but also the name of all Roman emperors in power in the future. 】

【Therefore, although Octavian did not officially ascend the throne and become emperor, later generations still regarded him as the founding emperor of the Roman Empire. 】

……

After watching the whole process of Octavian ascending to the pinnacle of power and founding the Roman Empire.

Many ancient people in all dynasties felt that Octavian should have won.

At every critical step, Octavian did not make a mistake.

If such a person does not win, who will win?

……

【The whole process was very smooth. After all, this was the Senate that had been purged many times by Octavian and would only obey. 】

[Although Augustus's seizure of power was very cunning and bloody, he also gained almost absolute power. 】

[But after that, he also gave Rome 40 years of peace and prosperity, the economy continued to grow, he established a standing army and a praetorian guard, and also ensured the order and stability of Rome. 】

[After that, the Roman Empire's rule over the Mediterranean continued for another 400 years, and then split into the Eastern and Western empires. 】

……

Many ancient people from all dynasties remembered it.

The Byzantine Empire, the thousand-year empire we saw before, was the Eastern Roman Empire.

Some ancient people thought that from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, and then to the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire, Rome did exist for too long in European history, no wonder it had such a huge influence in Europe.

……

[Fairness and efficiency are the themes of governance, but the two are always in opposition. 】

【When Rome was still a small country, citizens' opinions could be quickly collected and voted on through the republican system. 】

【So it was easy to sacrifice a certain amount of administrative efficiency from the monarchy era to a limited republic. 】

【However, as the republic grew larger, the areas and population to be coordinated increased exponentially, and it became technically impossible to let everyone speak for themselves. 】

【In other words, all the information of the country can no longer be collected through the republican system. 】

……

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang nodded slightly.

He felt that just as the "National People's Congress" system of the Spring and Autumn Period of China was destined to disappear, the Roman Republic was destined to shift from a decentralized republican system to a centralized imperial system as its external expansion continued and its territory became larger and larger.

Not to mention that it is impossible to collect everyone's opinions, even if it is possible, there are many people and opinions, and the decision-making efficiency must be extremely low.

Only a unified empire with power concentrated in one person can achieve efficient use of national resources.

Whether this is true or not, Qin Shihuang, as an emperor, believed this..

……

[In the late Republic, the number of people who could really participate in the resolution was actually a very small number of the Roman population. ]

[Even the so-called citizens only accounted for 10% of the Roman population. ]

[The interests of decision-makers could not fully represent the interests of the country, and national conflicts arose, and Rome fell into a bloody civil war. ]

[And even if it is technically possible, all decisions are made by the whole people, then are the decisions of all the people correct? ]

……

After watching the last part of the video.

Some ancient people in the past dynasties suddenly remembered a book they had read in the previous video: "The Crowd".

It mentioned a word: "group unconsciousness".

So, they felt that even if it was the decision of all the people, it might not necessarily be correct.

……

In the sky giant screen.

The video refreshed.

A new video appeared.

[What kind of Chinese cold knowledge has the Eagle Sauce Country’s century-old marketing account invented? ]

…

Looking at the title of this new video on the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient people in all dynasties became interested.

What is a marketing account? They have already learned about it in previous videos.

It is a group of people or organizations that like to spread rumors.

Whether the news spread by the marketing account is true or false, it is usually very topical.

Curiosity is the nature of most human beings.

Therefore.

Many ancient people are very curious about what kind of cold knowledge about China has been compiled by the so-called century-old marketing account of Eagle Sauce Country?

…

[In Eagle Sauce Country, there is a century-old marketing account "Believe It or Not". The name sounds very marketing-like. Many people should have heard of it. ]

[When this marketing account was first established, it existed as a single page of a newspaper. 】

[Most of the recorded contents are from unknown sources, strange anecdotes and trivia from around the world. 】

[It starts with a picture, and the content is all made up, which is no different from today's marketing accounts. 】

[However, this marketing account has a great influence in the world. It has survived for 102 years and is still being published today, which is amazing. 】

[The most brilliant thing they have done is to promote the birth of the national anthem of the United States. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Is it so powerful?"

"Reply - Indeed, at that time, the Eagle Sauce people were still arguing about whether to establish a national anthem, and then "Ripple's Believe It or Not" published such a news: Believe it or not, Eagle Sauce has no national anthem!, and then it caused an uproar, prompting millions of people to sign a petition, and let Congress determine the national anthem."

"Reply - The national anthem of Eagle Sauce is "The Star-Spangled Banner", right?"

"Reply - No, this is also a rumor spread by the Internet. The national anthem of Eagle Sauce is "The Star-Spangled Banner."

"..."

Looking at the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked.

They didn't expect that the marketing account of Eagle Sauce Country would have such a great influence and could even affect the birth of the national anthem of Eagle Sauce Country.

As a result, they are more interested in the content of the following video. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

What impact will the Chinese cold knowledge reported by such a marketing account with such a great influence have?

Many ancient people are very curious about this.

……

[Another thing is that in a comic strip in 1932, they mentioned the Great Wall. ]

[They called the Great Wall: the only greatest work of mankind that can be seen by human eyes on the moon. ][]

……

"What?!"

"Is it true?!"

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked instantly.

Now, they have gained a lot of astronomical knowledge through the high-altitude giant screen, and they know very well how far the moon is from the earth.

That is a very, very long distance.

Can you really see the Great Wall with your naked eyes from such a distance?

Many ancient people stared at the high-altitude giant screen, wanting to know the answer.

……

[At that time, this marketing account claimed to have 80 million readers. ]

[From then on, the concept that the Great Wall can be seen from the moon has become a popular and cold knowledge in the world, and has penetrated into the concepts of most Westerners. ]

[After the first American astronaut Armstrong who landed on the moon came back, the fast-running reporter hurriedly asked him: Can you see the Great Wall? ]

[Whether his answer was yes or no is still an unsolved case. ]

[Anyway, everyone generally believes that he saw the Great Wall on the moon. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"It can't be seen. Our country's astronauts have confirmed that it can't be seen with the naked eye in space, let alone on the moon."

"Our country has conducted many tests. With specific binoculars or other tools, the Great Wall can be seen in the space station, but the naked eye can't."

"Foreigners really believe this. We have said that we can't see it, but they still don't believe it. It's quite funny."

"..."

Hearing that the Great Wall can't be seen even from space, many ancient people in the past dynasties were a little disappointed.

At the same time.

They are also a little curious....

How did the marketing account of the Eagle Sauce Country make up this news?

After all, it is a media with great influence. It can't be completely made up, right?

There must be some basis, right?

...

【This little-known knowledge released by "Believe It or Not" is not purely made up. 】

【This concept was first proposed by William Stukeley, a master archaeologist in the British Empire in 1754. 】

【When he was investigating Hadrian's Wall in the British Empire, he felt that the RomanThis man-made wall is already amazing, so shouldn't China's Great Wall reach the sky? 】

The barrage flew out:

"There is no comparison. Hadrian's Wall is about 129 kilometers long, and our Great Wall has a total length of 21,196.18 kilometers."

"The long construction time, wide distribution area, and great influence of our Great Wall are incomparable to similar cultural heritage."

"..."

From the barrage, many ancient people in all dynasties felt the pride of later generations for the Great Wall.

In this regard, the ancient people had complicated emotions.

Different groups have different feelings.

This is normal.

For example, people who built the Great Wall and those who did not build the Great Wall must have different views.

……

[His words became the source of everything, and were eventually dug out by the editor of the Eagle Sauce Marketing Account, becoming a well-known concept. 】

【Why do Westerners have the idea that the Great Wall can be seen on the moon? 】

【The reason is very simple. 】

【We can refer to a sentence by Edward Gibbon, a historian of the British Empire, describing the Great Wall. 】

【He said that the Great Wall is a great project that occupies a prominent position on the world map. 】

【Since the mid-to-late 16th century, the Great Wall has begun to appear on Western world maps, and it has become a cartographic tradition that has continued to this day. 】

【It is precisely because the Great Wall is indeed the only human building marked on most world maps that many people who stare at the map when traveling around the world easily associate that they can see the Great Wall from the height of the moon. 】

【If the Great Wall is regarded as a tourist attraction, then this scenic spot is so great that it can be advertised on maps all over the world. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"The cards are full."

"No wonder Westerners are so interested in our Great Wall, it turns out to be like this."

"I have to say, this hard advertisement is too strong."

"..."

After reading this content.

The ancient people of all dynasties finally understood what was going on.

Some ancient people also felt proud because of this.

……

[Let's go back to the marketing account of "Believe It or Not". In addition to the Great Wall being visible on the moon, this marketing account has also discovered a lot of little-known facts about China. Let's check them one by one. 】

[This text says: Believe it or not, eye drops were first used in China in 3000 BC. 】

……

Accompanied by narration and subtitles.

A short video of people dropping eye drops was inserted into the high-altitude giant screen.

Tang Taizong's plane.

Sun Simiao saw this and looked thoughtful.

"Eye drops?"

"Is this medicine for eye diseases?"

The eye disease treatment methods he is familiar with now are fumigation, hot and cold compresses or cleaning.

Therefore, 4.5He thought it was a novel treatment method of directly dropping eye drops into the eyes.

Then.

He pondered in his mind.

From the tone of people in later generations, this should be the conventional method of treating eye diseases in later generations.

Sun Simiao thought he could learn from it and study it in this direction.

……

[3000 BC, obviously refers to the Yanhuang period. ]

[Obviously, they have some misunderstandings about the "Shennong Bencao Jing". ]

[The "Shennong Bencao Jing" was not written by Yan Emperor. This Chinese medicine classic was written in the Western Han Dynasty. ]

[The Herbal Classic records many medicines that can treat eye diseases, the most famous of which is Cassia Seed. Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it is a herb used by ancient people to improve eyesight. ]

[If we look at the appearance of Cassia Seed, it is easy to understand that it is used to be swallowed directly, not a liquid medicine to be dropped into the eyes. 】

【In short, the use of eye drops during the time of Shennong should be a misunderstanding. 】

【The commercial mass-produced eye drops in the modern sense are something that the Japanese have developed. 】

【However, the formula for eye drops made by the Japanese comes from a missionary named Hepburn from the United States. 】

【This Hepburn is the grandfather of Katharine Hepburn, the most powerful movie actress recognized by the United States. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Strange knowledge has increased again."

"This is nothing, it's not invented by Katharine Hepburn herself."

"Reply-Indeed, when it comes to Hollywood stars inventing things, Hedy Lamarr is the best. She got inspiration from playing the piano and invented frequency hopping technology."

"Reply-Yes, the mother of WiFi, WiFi that modern people cannot live without, is based on this technology."

"Reply-This is really called those who are smarter than me are not as beautiful as me, and those who are more beautiful than me are not as smart as me."

"..."

Looking at the beautiful photo of Hedy Lamarr on the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked.

This is really a combination of talent and beauty. .
