Chapter 7 Honglu Temple
As mentioned earlier, the lords of various countries received the edict of Emperor Taizong, and the princes and grandsons of various countries had already set off with the mission, and they have arrived in Chang'an one after another.
Fuso is the country with the largest number of international students, and it is a long journey to Fuso, so it is relatively early.
In addition to the monks and the children of the royal family, about thirty or forty people were admitted to the city, the other sailors, shipwrights, and miscellaneous servants had to stay in the harbor and wait for the envoys to finish their work before returning to the city, which could be as short as a few months or as long as a few years.
They were followed by the envoys of the Nanzhao Kingdom, who were not many in number, and they could be regarded as lightly armed, but they also had a lot less trouble than Fusang, although they arrived later, they entered the city first.
Envoys from Silla, the Lion Kingdom, Cheonzhu and other countries also arrived one after another.
After the envoys of various countries entered the city, the first important thing was to go to the Honglu Temple to present various tributes to Emperor Taizong, most of which were rare treasures that had been carefully carved by skilled craftsmen.
According to various circumstances, Honglu Temple will draw up a list of rewards to various countries, which is naturally several times more than the amount of tribute.
Needless to say, the nationality and age are extremely detailed, including the valuables they carry, whether they know people in Chang'an City, their accommodation habits, and so on.
In fact, when various countries received the edict, the edict stipulated various benefits and requirements for studying in Tang.
The first is to be able to speak Chinese and understand Chinese characters, and then it introduces some customs and customs of Chang'an, so the students sent by the general country have a certain understanding of Chang'an regardless of whether they have been to Chang'an or not.
Students who go to Tang to study in Tang are responsible for clothing, accommodation, etc., and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
Learning and books are all undertaken by Datang, and the boats and horses that usually travel to the post house can be used for free, and the post house can also be checked in for free.
In addition to the above treatments, all international students must abide by the "Tang Law" just like the people of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a special person led out of the Honglu Temple, and soon it has been checked in, all the international students are concentrated in the residence, each person has a separate room.
The three teenagers and girls from Nanzhao couldn't wait to go to Chang'an Street Market to play, and the three of them happily prepared to go out.
"Look!" Following the direction pointed by Xunmeng, Mengcha and Luo Ge also saw it, "It's the prince and Fuyufeng who met from Fusang in the post house outside the city, let's call them to go to the market together." ”
Luo Ge seemed to feel that something was wrong, and before he could say anything to stop him, Mengcha and Xunmeng had already walked in their direction, and Luo Ge had to follow quickly.
Seeing that someone was coming to speak, Fuyu Feng and the prince stood still and greeted them.
Luo Ge spoke: "Have you settled your luggage for the two accommodations?" We are going to go to Chang'an Street Market for a visit, I don't know if the two of you are interested in going together. ”
"When I entered the city, I had already roughly felt the prosperity and liveliness of Chang'an, and I also heard passers-by say that the most lively and prosperous place in Chang'an City was Pingkangfang. Feng Jun and I also want to see and see, so let's go together today. ”
Dream Hunting grabbed the conversation between Luo Ge and the prince and asked, "What do we call your name?" We'll all be classmates from now on! Everyone is also a prince and nobleman of various countries, and it is more convenient to call them by name. Right? ”
Such an interrogation is both ordinary and novel and interesting for Fuyu Feng and the prince.
They had never seen such a lively and bright girl in Fusang, and when they first met the post house, they already felt very good.
Men in Fusang are inferior to women, and women's status is very low, and when they see men, they all bow their heads, and they speak softly, which is very reserved and subtle, and it is impossible to show their heads.
"My name is Qingren, Fengjun, you already know each other." "We are from Nanzhao Kingdom, my name is Xunmeng, this is Mengcha and Luoge."
So the five of them went together and also went in the direction of Pingkangfang.
