Chapter 627: Chang'an City, where everyone is shocked
More and more people are pouring into Chang'an City, which is a great test for Chang'an City, the New Year's Eve Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year is just an appetizer for Chang'an City, and this military parade is a big meal.
The Lantern Festival is just an influx of people from Luoyang or other surrounding counties, and this time the people of the entire Tang Dynasty heard the news, but in half a month, Chang'an City has poured in 200,000 people, and there are still many on the road, constantly rushing towards Chang'an City, the major gates of the entire Chang'an City, and the carriages in and out are endless.
Fortunately, Merton brought a large number of horses into the market from Tuyuhun, and the four-wheeled carriage sold well, otherwise it would not have been able to support such a strong flow of people.
Many people obviously feel that the whole Chang'an City is crowded a lot, but it is a huge business opportunity for the merchants of Chang'an City, most of the people who can have time to rush to Chang'an City to watch the military parade are rich people, these people come to Chang'an City to eat, drink and live, all kinds of expenses are not a small amount, many people make a lot of money.
In any dynasty, the capital city is the center of the world, especially all the main roads in Chang'an City have been paved with brick roads, clean and tidy streets, endless streams of four-wheeled buses, magnificent buildings, compared to other cities are dilapidated and dirty, it is simply a world of difference, immediately conquer everyone who comes to Chang'an City.
"This is the situation of the prosperous world!" A white-haired old man got out of the carriage and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Chang'an City, and muttered.
"It's worth the trip, before that, we only heard about the grandeur of Chang'an City, and now we have got what we wanted, and it really deserves its reputation." The companions on the side were even more straightforward.
Compared with the small city they are in, compared with Chang'an City, it is simply a country, and the sense of superiority in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
"After the old man returns to his hometown this time, he will definitely play the county order and follow the example of Chang'an Chengzhi County." The white-haired old man said in a firm tone, almost everyone who arrived in Chang'an City had this idea. It is naturally unlikely that they will stay in Chang'an City, and the only way is to change their county seat.
"Three years ago, I came to Chang'an City to take the exam, and this Chang'an City is still a dirt road, and now Chang'an City has become unrecognizable." On the other carriage, a few Confucian scholars came down from the dust, and they couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the greatly changed Chang'an City.
"This is the work of my Confucianism to govern the world, so that there is such an image of great harmony." A young Confucian student came to Chang'an City for the first time and couldn't help but exclaim.
The coachman on the side couldn't help but sneer and said: "This junior is joking, the four-wheeled carriage you are riding in is made by Mo Jiazi, the brick road you step on was pioneered by Mo Jiazi, and the bus running on the street is proposed by Mo Jiazi,............"
As the coachman told one by one, the young Confucian suddenly blushed, and it seemed that the transformation of Chang'an City was almost all the credit of the Mo family.
"Also, in your opinion, Chang'an City at this moment is already the best city in the world, and that is because you have never seen the urban planning map of Mojia Village, otherwise you will find that Chang'an City still has a lot to improve." The coachman glanced at everyone as if he were looking at a bun, shouted, and drove away in the carriage.
Both the Confucian scholar and the old man in white couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that they would be despised by a coachman, especially the expression of the coachman when he left, which made them extremely uncomfortable.
………………
It was not only the ordinary people who were conquered by Chang'an City, but as time went by, tribal leaders and foreign missions arrived in Chang'an City.
"This is Chang'an City?"
When a group of leaders of the southwest wingmen entered Chang'an City, they suddenly looked like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, stretching their necks to watch, and their eyes were round.
Originally, they were an ordinary tribal leader, who only claimed hegemony in their own one-third of an acre on weekdays, like a frog at the bottom of a well, but at this moment they came to Chang'an City, passing thousands of miles, and saw the magnificence of thousands of miles and countless populations, and the original sense of superiority in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
One by one, they couldn't help but look at each other, their faces were cloudy, and they carefully compared the strength of their tribe and Datang, even if it was a group of tribes combined, I am afraid that they would definitely die.
"Thankfully......"
Many of the leaders of the bureaucrats couldn't help but rejoice that it was not their own tribe that rebelled.
"Huh! I didn't expect that there were still short-haired people in Chang'an City. A young tribal leader pointed to a man in the street who had cut his hair and cured head lice.
"How is it possible, the Han people value hair accessories the most, how can they easily break their hair." An elderly tribal leader was unbelievers.
"Really!" The tribal leaders were amazed when they found more and more people with short hair.
The wingman tribe mostly lives in the south, the weather is hot, many sultry people have short hair, and even many leaders are also short haired, and now seeing that there are still many people with short hair in Chang'an City, I can't help but feel a little closer.
And everyone found that the short hair of the people in Chang'an City was more stylish, which was much better than their indiscriminately cut hair, and they couldn't help but be moved.
The carriage traveled all the way and soon came to the Honglu Temple.
"You will temporarily live in Honglu Temple and wait for the arrangement of the imperial court to participate in the big military parade on time." A small official of Honglu Temple said proudly.
At this moment, none of the leaders who were powerful in the tribe were angry, but said with a smile: "This Shangguan, we also admire Chang'an City for a long time, I don't know if I can visit Chang'an City." ”
The official of Honglu Temple said impatiently: "That's nature, you can walk around on your own, you just need to come back before curfew." ”
"Self-guided?" A leader pointed to the Hu delegation led by the officials of Honglu Temple and said, "Then why are they all accompanied by special people?" ”
The little official of Honglu Temple looked at the leader with a surprised face and said: "They are Hu people, and you are Tang people, do you also want them to be treated like that?" ”
"Tang people?" A feeling of surprise suddenly rose in the hearts of the leaders, they had always been dissatisfied with the imperial court, and naturally they did not expect that the imperial court would still treat them as their own.
"Your Majesty has a broad mind, I admire it!" The tribal leaders were immediately convinced.
The tribal leaders understood that the fact that being led by the Honglu Temple seemed to be a noble position, but in fact it was like surveillance, and that Li Shimin allowed them to move around on their own was a kind of trust.
So, in the envious eyes of the envoys of the Western Regions, a group of leaders proudly walked out of the gate of Honglu Temple and enjoyed the prosperity of Chang'an City.
Of course, the first thing they do is to cut a nice flat head.
As for the envoys of various countries, they were not treated so well, and they were accompanied by special personnel wherever they went, although they did not interfere with freedom, it was not pleasant to feel like a shadow.
