Chapter 689: The Tang Dynasty is full of bustle

In later generations, inviting someone to eat a peanut rice meant being shot, and in this era, Li Shimin did this to his Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs.

Therefore, when everyone eats a peanut, they deeply remember the name of this crop, and because there are too many crops in the back, people who do not have the ability to remember it cannot remember it all.

Zhao He naturally can't tell everyone about all the crops, in that case, two or three days can't finish, later, many types that can only be regarded as special crops, he just gave you a brief introduction to the name, and later, when the farmers and agricultural students will survey the areas suitable for planting these crops, and find out a whole set of planting techniques, they will promote the market.

Before the zoo in Chang'an was completely renovated, some of them had to stay in Jiangling first, among them, the forest beetles that needed a constant temperature place were one of them.

Coincidentally, the two largest forest worms that were transported over were both in a state of starvation, and after being carried down by a dozen people on the boat in a newly built sturdy cage, Zhao Long decided to feed them.

"Your Majesty, this snake is called Mori Python, the head said that it may be the largest snake in the world, and the few we have caught, not the largest, we found it when we changed it to a new cage in Lingnan, just raised in the cage for seven or eight months, it has grown about a foot, now, it should be hungry, it seems a little irritable, we can feed it, after eating it will be quiet, however, the scene may be a little scary." Zhao Long explained to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw this behemoth that was more than eight meters long and as thick as an ordinary person's waist, the whole person was in a daze, and in the crowd of onlookers, the exclamation was even more like a tsunami, which was different from the eldest grandson's queen who was scared to look at it, Li Shimin asked curiously after listening to Zhao Long's explanation, "If it grows again, will it come out of its horns, will it turn into a dragon?" ”

"This, it shouldn't be, the evolution of the species may be as long as a million years, specifically, the minister doesn't understand, some people who do animal research are needed to study slowly, if it is still a snake, at least within tens of thousands of years, it will be in this form." Zhao He knew that Li Shimin would ask such a strange question, so he took over at the right time.

At the beginning, he also asked Sun Xiangfu a similar question, and what he got was such an answer.

"Then it's the same as the dragon, which one is amazing?" Li Ke, who also came forward to watch, asked.

Just now, when everyone was grabbing the dishes made on the boat, he didn't move much, and after getting a tomato, he ran to Sun Xiaomei who was watching in the crowd like a treasure, but unfortunately Sun Xiaomei didn't accept his tomatoes, but let him eat them himself, because Zhao He would definitely leave some for Sun Fu.

However, Sun Xiaomei told him a lot about those new crops, telling him to prepare the fields, and it is best to use all the fields in the newly opened county to plant these crops.

And the Jiaolong he just talked about is actually a crocodile, there are many of these things in the Tang Dynasty during this period, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, around the Dongting Lake area, there are often crocodiles attacking people, so Li Ke, who has recently had a headache to solve this problem and make it more livable under his rule, asked curiously.

"Jiaolong, it's just one of its usual food, when we were exploring the South American continent, we saw a scene of a big forest python devouring the dragon, and the dragon was in front of it, almost no power to fight back." Zhao He's answer to Li Ke immediately caused everyone to exclaim again.

"So, what does he usually eat?" Li Yuanchang, who was most afraid of snakes, asked with a little stammering.

Sun Xiangfu sent Wu Meiniang, who likes to fiddle with these horror things the most, to manage the agricultural affairs of Suizhou under his rule, and now, but he can't sleep well when he sleeps, and actually said that snakes in the field can play a role in hunting and killing voles, and people can't kill those snakes wantonly.

However, it was not Li Yuanchang's turn not to follow Wu Meiniang's wishes, because, as long as he dared to disobey Wu Meiniang's wishes, maybe something strange would appear in his office, and sometimes, because he was afraid, he could even throw the official seal of the assassination to Wu Meiniang, and let her decide all matters related to agriculture on her own.

Zhao He heard Li Yuanchang ask this, so he replied, "When we are at sea, we usually feed it those sea fish of more than 100 catties, but now, feed a pig to it, it should be able to manage it for about a month." ”

"One, a pig?" When Li Yuanchang heard this, he was even more afraid, and he was watching from two or three meters away from the cage, but he suddenly retreated to five meters away.

At this time, Li Ke answered, "Then isn't he even able to eat people?" ”

Zhao He nodded and said, "Yes! Once a person is entangled by him, it is difficult to escape, let's catch it, but it is carried out in a group of twenty people, so if it is put in the wild, it will be more dangerous, and if you want to use it to deal with the dragon, I am afraid that it will not work. ”

While they were chatting, Li Shimin pointed to the big forest snake that kept swimming in the cage and said, "I saw it moving around, I was hungry and panicked, quickly find a pig and feed it." ”

Li Shimin is not as afraid of snakes as Li Yuanchang, and he likes to see strange things, he said so, Zhao Long had to order someone to carry up the live pig prepared on the boat, it was a fat pig of a hundred or dozens of catties, after being thrown into the snake cage, he was immediately entangled by the big forest snake, just called twice, and then there was no sound, this guy was locked in a cage and fed for seven or eight months, and he was not afraid of humans at all, as long as he was hungry, it would eat, and the fat pig was quickly entangled to death under its thick body.

"Wow~"

Seeing that the mouth of the forest snake grew bigger and bigger, and directly bit the head of the fat pig weighing more than 100 catties into its mouth, and swallowed the whole body of the pig into the stomach little by little, many people covered their eyes in fright, but Zhao Henei was laughing in his heart, after that, I was afraid that I don't know how many people will go to the zoo and compete to see this big guy.

A grand welcome ceremony, after the performance of the forest snake swallowing fat pigs, slowly ended, all the people who came to watch, saw enough shocking pictures, of course, the lively scene, not only staged in Gangneung City.

Li Chengqian finally led the teams of the countries in the Western Regions, and walked slowly to Chang'an City, along the way, these foreign leaders who had just entered the Tang Dynasty had been too shocked, they couldn't imagine how a country could turn thousands of miles into smooth and easy-to-go cement roads, however, after arriving in Guanzhong, they knew that all the roads leading to all directions here were cement roads.

They were shocked by the knife-like fields in the Central Plains, the brick houses in unison, such a scene could not be seen in any place, which fully proved the degree of consolidation of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, and even the living conditions of ordinary people, the fields and industries, could be taken care of so beautifully, so they couldn't guess how much wealth their upper class people would have or how much wealth they would have in the treasury.

This also makes them know even more that the gap between their own country and Datang, Datang is rich enough to use millet, sorghum, soybeans, etc., in their country, the people can use the staple food to feed cattle, horses and livestock.

And after officially stepping into the capital of this rich empire, these people knew what a powerful imperial capital should look like.

Hundreds of delegations, more than 100,000 horses, Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty who was responsible for receiving them, actually just waved his hand, telling them to choose hotels and inns in the city at will according to their own economic conditions, and ten days later, he will lead everyone to Weishui Wharf, set off by boat, and rush to Jiangling City, the host city of this sports conference.

That is to say, the hotels and inns in this imperial capital can easily receive more than 100,000 of them, and even, in Li Chengqian's opinion, this is not worth mentioning.

Thinking about the fact that just one of the largest Wangjianglou main stores can accommodate tens of thousands of people, these heads of the Western Regions will understand.

Compared with this city, which usually lives in a city of nearly two million people, the arrival of more than 100,000 horses has only increased their population by about 10%.

And usually, they receive business teams from all over the world, and domestic tourists are all starting from 10,000 people, and now Datang holds a imperial examination, and there will be more than 100,000 or 200,000 students from all over the country to catch the exam, and the people in the city have become accustomed to this.

There is another aspect, that is, the Tang Dynasty dares to open its capital to hundreds of thousands of foreigners, you know, they are hundreds of thousands of people, but they are all young and strong, and most of them have armor weapons, in this world, I am afraid that only the Tang Empire dares to do this.

Some people wonder in their hearts, how strong and confident this must be! What if we riot in the city?

But after they saw the eyes of the city guards looking at them, they didn't think so anymore, Datang had such confidence.

The defenders of Chang'an City are only 100,000, and even, there are only more than 30,000 people on duty at each gate, but when they see the team of more than 100,000 people at the city gate, not only is there no tense atmosphere, but they can also naturally keep their chests high, their eyes and facial expressions, and even a little contempt, it seems that even if these people suddenly attack them, they have the confidence to kill all these people.

You know, Chang'an City is not allowed to ride horses, all horses, as early as ten miles away from the city, were placed in a special place to take care of livestock, just foot combat, with the Tang Army's equipment and combat quality, just the legitimate value of these more than 30,000 people, they are confident that in half an hour to completely annihilate more than 100,000 foreign soldiers.

Because, for more than 100,000 enemy troops, for more than 30,000 Tang troops, it is just a few times each person pulls the trigger of the repeater, and in close-range street fighting, the leather armor of these people cannot resist the Tang Army's standard repeater arrows equipped with stainless steel arrows.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people in the Western Regions, all the Tang people are like having a face that will never be bullied, and they are looking down on their own people with weak eyes.

Then, soon, they got another news, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, was not in Chang'an City at this time, he had taken the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, to the venue of this year's sports conference, the middle of the Tang Dynasty, another huge city comparable to the capital Chang'an, Jiangling City.

In such a huge city as Chang'an, there is more than one Datang, which simply makes them want to look up and catch up, but they can't see the tail of others.

After Li Chengqian saw the special car that welcomed him back to the palace, he said to the heads of state who had been in the same car with him before, "Prince Heraclius, Mr. Abu Bakr, Crown Prince Isi, Prime Minister of Poni, will have a banquet in the palace in two days, and in the next few days, I will take you to visit all parts of Chang'an City, and there will be a special vehicle to pick you up at the hotel where you are staying, and after you have chosen a place to stay, the interpreter I sent to you will report to me the location of your residence, and you don't have to worry about it."

As for these two days, you can move freely, Chang'an City is a city that never sleeps, as long as you spend money, you can enjoy all kinds of eating, drinking and entertainment services at any time.

However, please also explain to your subordinates, abide by the laws of our Datang, no matter what the circumstances, do not hurt people, if you encounter any injustice, the security offices in various parts of the city will help you solve your demands, once you break the law in my Datang, no matter what status he is in your country, he will be punished by my Datang law. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, there are many students in your country in your Tang Empire, they are more familiar with the situation here than us, with them leading us, we will definitely not cause you trouble, look, they are already here to greet us." Heraclius said, pointing to some foreign students at the gate of the city, dressed as national prisoners.

Hearing Heraclius say this, Li Chengqian was relieved, these students who were sent by them to study abroad at a high price, although they have only studied in Chang'an City for less than two years, they are not useless, at least, they have learned how to deal with the people of Chang'an City, how to spend money and enjoy themselves in Chang'an City.

And the reason why Li Chengqian is relieved is also because he knows the actual situation of these international students well, they have not learned much practical useful knowledge here, but all kinds of bad problems of Confucian children have been learned, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, that is proficient in everything, when it comes to the speed of corrupting people, there is no place in the world at present, which can be compared with Chang'an, the city with the most complete entertainment projects.

And the reason why Li Chengqian didn't immediately hold a banquet for them, in addition to having some other plans, is also because his first son has just been born, but it is not the Li Xiang in history, even the crown princess has been replaced by Hou Junji's daughter Hou Shuya, son, naturally has nothing to do with history, he has a correct outlook and no problem with his orientation, and now he can't wait to see what his child looks like.
