I'm the lord of the alien world

Chapter 22 Civilization Progress
"A painting, however, uses a different technique from our national law, with a strange style, which is very wonderful.

Unfortunately, there was a fire one year, and the painting was burned.

The county sheriff's father was heartbroken, and now he has been lying on the bed sickly, like a madman, crying bitterly from time to time.

Mr. Zhang was very troubled by this, and invited dozens of soldiers, but it didn't work. "Yang Yun said.

"What kind of painting is that that can make Mr. Zhang's father go crazy like this?" Tang Wen asked.

"When that painting was still there, my master of traditional Chinese painting 'Liu Yuanzong' once copied a copy.

Later, Master Zhang spent a lot of money to buy it.It's just that although Liu Yuanzong's brushwork is superb, the technique of Western painting is different from the paint, and it is difficult to draw the essence after all.

I've seen that facsimile of a handsome man with something like 'APOIIO' on it.

Master Liu guessed that it might be the name or seal of the handsome man in the portrait. "Yang Yun shook his head and sighed.

APOIIO?
Let me go, the one next door, isn't that 'Apollo, the sun god', one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in ancient Greece?

Tang Wen was taken aback immediately. How could there be a legend about God Apollo in this world?

Could it be that ancient European civilizations also appeared in the ancient process of this world?

The Great East Republic is similar to the parallel space of modern China, so is this world similar to the parallel space of ancient China?
"Junru, take the painting hanging on the east wall in my room." Tang Wen said.

Because, this is an opportunity to make friends with Zhang Taishou.

Junru nodded, turned to the bedroom next to her, and brought the European oil painting.

Of course, this oil painting depicts Athena, the goddess of wisdom, one of the twelve main gods.

Yang Yun glanced at it, was startled for a moment, pointed to the letter 'Athene' and said, "It's strange, why does your painting have a similar name. Moreover, the style of painting is somewhat similar to the painting copied by Master Liu."

"My painting is also from the West." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"Lord Baron is really an elegant person, to be able to get such a treasure." Yang Yun stroked his beard and sighed.

"Hehe, the ancestors made great achievements in battle, and the royal family named him uncle of Liangzhou, and even this painting was also rewarded by the royal family.

It's a pity that my Tang family is not as good as the previous generation.

This painting has been passed down, it is a family heirloom of my Tang family. " Tang Wen opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Disrespect, disrespect!" Yang Yun stood up, bowed to Tang Wen, and then said, "Mr. Yang was a little disrespectful to the Sir before, but Mr. Yang is not talented, but he is also a martial arts scholar."

"Where is it, Tang must have been rude." Tang Wen shook his head and finally understood.

Previously, Yang Yun saw that he didn't kneel down to pay homage, it was because of his fame.

The royal family of Dachu stipulated that if you have a reputation, you can meet officials without kneeling to pay homage.

It's enough to just bow your hands or connect your head slightly, even a scholar can have such treatment.

It's just that Yang Yun has been a martial arts scholar for so many years.

How could he end up in Yanling County as a small headhunter?That must be at least a seventh-rank official.

"Just now, Bufeng took me to see the corpses of the pirates, these people are really heinous, and they want to rob the Lord's property.

I, Yang Yun, will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Sir Alex an explanation.

However, my lord was able to wipe out more than seventy pirates, showing my mighty power.

But on his own side, no one died, Yang admired it! "Yang Yun clasped his fists again and again and said.

"It was also a coincidence, they colluded with my servants of the Tang family, and we finally found out, please enter the urn.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Catcher Yang will only see my corpse, Tang Wen.

No, it's not just me, it's hundreds of corpses from my Tang family. " Tang Wen said.

"Sigh... our Yanling County is a bit remote, and Koh Samui is even more remote.

After years of wars and famines, many people died.

Pirates along the coast became more rampant, and the court was quite helpless, so it could only shrink its troops to keep a few fortresses.

Most of the sailors are stationed at the checkpoints, and they have taken care of places like Koh Samui flawlessly.

Especially recently, taking advantage of the fact that our dynasty is in the midst of a war with the Great Qin Kingdom, the Sun Kingdom, which is located across the sea to the east, is also ready to move.

The admiral was also quite helpless, and further reduced the strength of the navy, all of which were placed opposite the eastern part of the provincial capital, focusing on the provincial capital.

Otherwise, once the bandits from the Sun Kingdom break through our eastern defense line, the provincial capital will be lost, our Linghai will be in danger, and the country will be in danger.

As a result, the imperial court was simply unable to deal with pirates, so they became more and more rampant.

Even, the criminal campaign of pirates massacring the island took place last month, which is simply a crime.

It's a pity that I, Yang Yunkong, have a lot of kung fu, but I can't destroy these thieves and restore my Linghai to a clear sky. "Yang Butou shook his head and sighed.

"So, the lord has to practice the personal guards every day to keep my Yanling Koh Samui safe.

The lord also wants to protect the safety of the surrounding pirates and do his best for the court.

It's a pity that the court gave me 60 personal guards.

If the pirates attack again, Yanling County will be beyond reach.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, the island will be destroyed and people will die, blood will flow into rivers, and corpses will be scattered all over the field. " Tang Wen said.

"The court has its difficulties." Yang Yun said.

"Your Majesty Yang is always in a hurry, and refugees from disasters from other provinces crashed in recently.

Once the victims and refugees are starving, they will inevitably commit some robbery or even murder, and Mr. Yang is also very troubled.

Tang is very grateful that Mr. Yang can take the time to come to my Koh Samui Island in person.

However, Tang is also powerless.

If the court can give me more places, I can form a stronger personal guard.

At that time, combating pirates and defending the island will also solve some troubles for Yanling County. " Tang Wen said.

"There is a chance this time." Yang Yun thought for a while and said suddenly.

"Oh?" Tang Wen was taken aback on purpose, looking at Yang Yun.

"Recently, the war in the Northwest has been tense, and food, grass and horses are all in a hurry.

The Great Qin State dispatched eighty divisions in a vain attempt to occupy the three northwestern provinces of our Great Chu.

Therefore, the court issued a wartime emergency announcement.

If the nobles of the state of Chu want to be promoted to nobles, they can be promoted based on their military exploits. "Yang Yun said.

"Of course this Tang is clear, but Tang, a scholar, has nothing to do with serving the country, but he has no strength in his hands." Tang Wen said.

"Hehe, it's different this time. You can donate money and food, which is also a disguised form of support to fight against the Great Qin." Yang Yun shook his head with a smile.

"Is donating money and food counted as military exploits?" Tang Wen was taken aback, as it was not uncommon to donate money to buy officials in ancient times.

Of course, the official positions bought by donations are usually idle officials with only name but no real power, just for facade.

"Of course!" Yang Yun said.

"How to donate in exchange for military exploits?" Tang Wen asked.

"100 taels of silver is a battle merit, like your baron, a third-class baron needs to donate [-] battle merit points to be promoted to a second-class baron." Yang Yun said.

"That's 5000 taels of silver." Tang Wen nodded.

"Yes! Or equivalent food and grass, but if you want to be promoted to a first-class baron, you need 1 taels of silver." Yang Yun said.

"This doesn't seem to be cheap. Now that there are wars and horses in chaos, people are crying everywhere, and there are not a few victims and refugees who died of hunger. It's too difficult to make some money, not to mention that it's 1 taels of silver. It's too difficult?" Tang Wen Deliberately shook his head and sighed.

"Of course, my lord, please think about it, if you didn't have this opportunity, how difficult would it be for you to be promoted to the first rank?
If you join the army and lead troops to fight, you only get one combat point for killing an enemy.

Even to become a second-class baron, you have to kill fifty enemies.

If you have to kill a hundred enemies in the first class, you will definitely have to die to advance to the next level.

Moreover, compared with donating silver taels, if you are not careful, your life will be lost on the battlefield, but donating silver taels is extremely safe. "Yang Yun nodded.

"Indeed, it's not easy. But what if I get promoted to Viscount?" Tang Wen nodded.

"The third-class Viscount 5000 taels, the second-class 2 taels, and the first-class 5000 taels." Yang Yun said.

"Based on this, wouldn't it cost 3 taels to be promoted to Earl?" Tang Wen asked.

"Count, that's different. Viscount is promoted to Earl by at least 10 taels, which is still a third-class uncle." Yang Yun shook his head.

Tang Wen was thinking in his heart that 10 taels was not a big deal for him, and it would be good to donate an earl.

At that time, according to the laws of the Great Chu, the third-class uncle's personal guards can expand to 300 people.

At that time, I will have enough strength to protect Koh Samui.

Of course, at present, I don't have many people, even if I donate a third-class uncle, I can't spare 300 people to build a pro-guard army.

This is for future consideration. Tang Wen is worried that the war will stop in the future.

Donating money and food to advance to the title of knighthood has to stop again, and then the opportunity will be lost.

"This lord is interested." Tang Wen said.

Noticing that Yang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, he said, "Then you have to hurry up. If the lord is interested, I will report the matter to the prefect as soon as I get back."

"Yes!" Tang Wen nodded.

"Master, dinner is ready." At this time, Li Quan came in to report.

　There are some small loopholes in the previous chapters. Many book friends pointed them out, which shows that you are very careful. Thank you for your advice. I will correct it when I have time.
