The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

It was a rare event for people from their hometown to visit the Tang Dynasty, let alone all the way to Europe? Zhang Qian, the Han envoy, only visited the Western Regions and brought bloody horses, grapes, alfalfa, pomegranates, flax, etc. to the Central Plains.

species, and spread the civilization of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, opening the "Silk Road" that will be passed down forever. However, Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty only reached India, so

By chance, he was involved in the usurpation of the throne of the Makada Kingdom. His entourage was killed and imprisoned. The aggrieved Wang Xuance fled to Nepal, borrowing 7,000 cavalry to defeat the Makada Kingdom. In a foreign land, borrowing the military strength of a country, he faced

Against a country with at least 30,000 troops, the weak defeated the strong and won in battle. No matter who it was placed on, it was a difficult thing to do, but Wang Xuance did it.

However, excluding Zheng He’s voyages to the West, the farthest the Central Plains Dynasty reached was Central Asia. As for Europe, it had never been there. But now, in this parallel time and space, the Anxi army in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the people who settled in Anxi were

The remains in the palace

The people have been slaves for more than two hundred years. Who could have thought that they would establish a country again in the continent of Europe? And who could have thought that they would travel thousands of miles and return to their homeland without fear of the hardships and dangers of the road? And the envoys of Zhao and Song Dynasties

The return visit can be said to be a coincidence.

Because the Tang envoys touted the wealth of the Tang people in front of the Zhao and Song emperors, they also said that the good horses in their country were like ox hair, while the Song Dynasty was extremely short of war horses. Like the Song Dynasty, they not only lacked war horses, but also faced the embarrassing situation of having no danger to defend.

, throughout the five thousand years of China, only

The Song Dynasty was like this. The nomadic peoples have been fighting with the Han people for thousands of years, and they are well aware of their own advantages and the disadvantages of the farming people. After the Sixteen States of Youyun were abandoned, the northern overlord Khitan strictly guarded against the flow of horses in order to prevent them.

The Southern Dynasties had war horses.

Faced with its own disadvantages, the Song Dynasty always wanted to reverse the situation. Are they really willing to defend the one-third of an acre of land? Various reasons finally gave rise to the reasons why envoys from Zhao and Song Dynasty visited the Tang Dynasty.

"The survivors of the prosperous Tang Dynasty were rich in money and grain, and every household had no worries about food and clothing. They liked to practice martial arts, raise livestock, brew wine and fish. The country was really rich and the people were prosperous. Their country was located in the sea, overlooking the surrounding foreign countries...especially its

The navy is the most powerful, with large and small ships like rain, the port is clean and tidy, and merchants from all over the world gather, and most of the transactions are settled in red gold. They sell a wide range of goods, ranging from fine iron and horses to oil, rice and food, and everyone is rich..."

Lu Duan followed the Tang officials during the day, and they introduced the city to him, explaining to him some of their systems, the taxes obtained from daily trade, and even the national income. Lu Duan walked around the city during the day

, observing the people's sentiments, after lunch at noon, he went out of the city to observe the countryside. What he saw was that there were fertile fields everywhere, and people gathered outside the city.

There are exquisite houses, and there are several strong cattle and horses in the livestock sheds. In addition, there are more than a dozen chickens, ducks and pigs. Moreover, every household is like this. Such a wealthy country is something Lu Duan has never seen in his life.

.This shocked him greatly. At night, when he fell asleep, he would carefully write down his observations and make comments.

Although I was dissatisfied with the Tang people's unauthorized changes in characters and lack of imperial examinations, other than that, I mostly admired the country of the Tang people. This small land with a population of tens of millions was managed so well, no wonder it became the overlord of the region.

Lu Duan and his entourage stayed in this city for seven days. There will always be people in the mission who are not accustomed to the climate. Lu Duan had no choice but to stay here. After waiting for everyone in the mission to recover, he prepared to meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The matter was delayed for seven days. Lu Duan obtained many stories about the Tang people from the Tang people and many Yi and Di merchants.

.It is impossible for him to think that other lands of the Tang Dynasty are so rich just because one place is like this. He obtained a lot of precious information from the merchants who traveled north and south. Then, when he sent the team to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he learned a lot of valuable information along the way.

Lu Duan and his entourage would stop temporarily in the cities and mountain villages they passed through, examine them carefully, and then record them in the book.

As he gradually approached the capital of the Tang Dynasty, what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears satisfied Lu Duan, a standard Confucian disciple. Although the Tang people were different from the people of the Central Plains, the country under the careful governance of the Tang people

, but it is already like a harmonious society. Everyone can have enough food, clothing and clothing, and everyone is prosperous. This kind of society is the ideal that literati have been pursuing since ancient times. It can be said that such a country is the real prosperous age.

"Heavenly Capital?" Looking at the two big characters on the city gate, Lu Duan only found out the meaning of these two big characters after asking people in the Tang Dynasty. He asked, "What does the emperor live in the city mean?"

The man from Tang Dynasty replied, "No, it means a city where God will also stop."

"Well?" Lu Duan was a little dissatisfied, "How can you be so arrogant?" He said: "Such a meaning, isn't it almost similar to the meaning of Wu Zhou and Yi Luoyang as the capital of the gods?"

The Tang man replied with a smile, "Sir, when you stayed in Anding City for seven days, haven't you heard that our royal family has the title of 'descendant of the gods' in the land of Europe?"

"Descendant of Gods?" Lu Duan said: "Are they not barbarians who are afraid of your military power and make up names to please your monarch?"

The Tang Dynasty man shook his head and said: "Although our country is strong, it does not have the strength to defeat the foreigners from all over the world. You will naturally know the title of the Goddess when you meet the king of our country."

Lu Duan was curious, his heart was scratching like a cat's claws, "I'll wait and see."

After entering the city, they passed through the long and wide city gate, and then passed through another city gate before entering the inner city. What greeted them was the sky-high popularity and the noisy sound that symbolized prosperity. Lu Duan stared at it,

Seeing the exquisite planning of this city, the cross avenues in all directions are straight and smooth, and the roads under your feet are

It was neither a stone road nor a rammed earth road. At first, he thought it was just a road unique to Anding City. Who would have thought that the land of Gyeonggi Province was like this, and the "straight road" on the road was also like this. After he asked, he realized that this road was wide and straight.

The smooth straight road gave him a panoramic view of the Tang Dynasty. This financial resource moved him.

In the capital city in front of us, there are neat streets in all directions, and there are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the road. Most of them are made of huge stones and bricks. There are street trees and fruit trees planted in the middle of the road, which are said to be specially used when people are thirsty. This is

For the sake of the people, Lu Duan was greatly shocked and felt even more satisfied. Later, he discovered that the city

In the city, the most numerous 'gardens' (parks) have benches, stone stools and pavilions for people to rest and play. When he knew that this garden was actually free for people to visit, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

A sigh of relief. No wonder a country that cares so much about its people is so strong and wealthy.
