King Yingzheng of Qin unified the six kingdoms and was called the first emperor.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin, unified the Eurasian continent, unified all mankind, and was called the emperor of men.

This is two large levels of merit higher than Qin Shi Huang, and it is not false at all.

Because, in the past ten years, the overseas exploration fleet has not rested, and has long set up boundary monuments in South America, North America, and the African continent where people live, declaring the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Even in the North and South Poles, there are many flags and carved boundary monuments planted by them, and there is no independent regime on the whole earth that is not under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Shimin's grand ceremony of honorific title must be the grandest and most unique in the history of mankind, and the time was set by him for next year, that is, the ninth day of August in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, to be held in Chang'an, this day is the day of his reign of twenty-three years.

In fact, someone earlier put forward a suggestion to let him go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, however, this kind of project that the ancients played, Li Shimin felt that the pattern was still too small, he made unprecedented achievements, and he should create a more atmospheric ceremony, so that future generations can follow and imitate, this is the Tang Dynasty that dominates the world should have.

Therefore, Chang'an began to build the Temple of Heaven, an open-air super-large worship place in the northern part of the city, occupying 99,000 square meters.

And Sun Xiangfu in Medina also soon received a holy decree to return him to the pilgrimage.

Of course, even if it was fast, the people who came to announce the decree and take over the errand arrived in Medina in November.

Because starting from Chang'an City, even if you use a steamship to take the sea route, after replenishment of fuel and certain repairs along the way, it will take more than two months to go ashore on the Arabian Peninsula and then take the land route to Medina at the earliest.

There are many people who come to pick up Sun Xiangfu and go back, at least, several of his adult sons are there, as for the officials who take over him, they are the officials of the Pingzhang Shishang of the Political Affairs Hall, and he will later divide this area into several provinces to govern, and then return to Chang'an.

Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu did a lot of communication with the officials on the religious beliefs of the local people, and the Tang Dynasty did not completely prohibit religion, but all religions must be under the control of the imperial court.

Whether it is a Christian or a Christian, their mission site will be the same as a Buddhist temple or a Taoist temple, which belongs to the imperial court, and all the members have a fixed establishment, and these personnel will be provided by the imperial court for food and clothing, and cannot accept donations from believers.

That is to say, the imperial court allowed the people to believe in Buddhism, Taoism, or other religions recognized by the imperial court, but the people were not allowed to become a part of the religion at will, and the person who founded the religion could not get any benefits from the religion.

In fact, after those fanatics were slaughtered by the Ottomans, the local area was still very well managed, many areas of the Arabian Peninsula belong to desert areas, agricultural output is less, people want to survive, they have to rely on the materials of the Tang Dynasty, in the current era when oil is not very valuable, they can not get rich.

"Dad, at the beginning of the year, you were already a grandfather." After Sun Xiangfu and Shangguan Yi finished talking about business, Sun Jing stepped forward impatiently.

"Is it a grandson, or a granddaughter?" When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he said happily.

"It's all there! I had a son, and Sun Feng had a daughter. Sun Jing replied happily.

"Well, our family is getting more and more prosperous, what about your eldest sister! Didn't she add a grandson to her father? Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.

"She's not married yet!" After Sun Jing finished speaking, he was shocked to lose his words, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, as if he had caused a big disaster.

"Not married? How is it possible, when she was in Broken Leaf City a few years ago, didn't she just say that she had a crush on a bearded boy? Sun Xiangfu was a little puzzled, if she really didn't get married, she would be twenty-one this year.

"She really fell in love with a bearded boy at that time! But then I fell in love with a forbidden army captain, and then later, I fell in love with a male artist in the art troupe, and then I fell in love with a male artist in the art troupe, and then I fell in love with ······."

"Wait, your mother allowed her to mess around like this?" Sun Xiangfu's face became more and more dark.

When Sun Jing heard this, he seemed to think of a very bad picture, and said coldly, "You can't mention her in front of your mother, and you can't mention your mother in front of her, they quarrel when they meet, and now there seem to be a lot of girls like her in Chang'an, they like this, they like to come, they like to go, and they like to change things that different people like." ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he looked up at the sky, and there was a feeling of wanting to cover his forehead, this feeling of liking to come and go, called falling in love.

Unexpectedly, in just more than 20 years, the atmosphere of Datang has become like this, and even free love has prevailed in Chang'an.

However, looking back, it seems that this is also a very normal thing, because, their generation, was raised in a free and open atmosphere, if he knew that it was his apprentice Wu Meiniang who created this atmosphere of free love, he would definitely regret teaching her out, in later generations, my country does not know how many single dogs are defeated in free love, arranged marriage is the favorite way of the majority of compatriots.

Of course, the evolution of the atmosphere like free love is only a little bit, and when Sun Xiangfu returns to Chang'an, he will find out how big the changes in Datang are.

Now, people have begun to get used to dealing with all kinds of Hu people, because, the real Han people in the Tang Dynasty are only more than 30 million at present, but the total population is more than 200 million, accounting for only about one and a half percent, and with the needs of politics and military management, the proportion of these Han people in politics and military is very high, and they are scattered all over the country, and all over the country, there are a large number of people of other races, filling the Central Plains.

The Mayans that Zhao Long has transported back from South America over the years, and the blacks that Zhao Gang has transported back from Africa, there are hundreds of thousands. Like the Turkic race in the Middle East, the white-skinned Europa race, Persia, and several adult races in India, all of which started with tens of millions of people, they are now full of streets and alleys in Chang'an, perhaps, their Chinese is still relatively lame, but the aborigines of Chang'an have also become accustomed to this kind of broken Chinese, but their next generation can basically speak pure Chinese, because they have been educated in Chinese and Chinese culture since childhood.

After a simple tidying up, Sun Xiangfu started the farewell ceremony with the local people, and introduced the new chief official Shangguanyi to the people, he was not worried that Shangguanyi would not be able to manage the place, he was also an expert official in the Tang Dynasty who managed the issue of ethnic minority areas.

As for the officials that Sun Xiangfu brought with his subordinates, and the new officials brought by Shangguanyi, most of them also know that if they want to make political achievements, they must develop the local economy and people's livelihood well, and there is such a goal, and the focus of the imperial court's governance is in these remote areas, I believe that in the next three to five years, it should not be difficult to help them achieve prosperity.

After all, an earth that can feed more than 7 billion people in future generations is now only feeding more than 200 million people, and there is a considerable surplus of resources.

A few days later, Sun Xiangfu boarded the ship and set sail, and a few children explained to him a lot of what had happened in Chang'an in recent years.

For example, more than half of the 10,000-ton cargo ships have been built, and the steam turbine steam engine is used, and the rails leading to Chang'an, Shanyang, and Dingxiang have been paved.

The car factory has created a large tractor that can pull more than 10,000 catties of goods, and at the same time, it can take dozens of people and use the bus shuttle bus to turn with a roulette wheel, which is online in Chang'an City, and now all main roads are open to traffic.

After all, the current Chang'an City is too big, and if you want to walk around the old city of the inner city by your feet, it will take a day, let alone go to the new city outside the old city wall, which is the territory of several counties.

Not only that, the car factory is also preparing to use the steam turbine steam engine to build a new type of car with faster speed, smaller bumps, more comfortable ride, and several ways to use electricity, which are also applied to the car.

As for electricity, it is the most widely developed and used thing in recent years, and the major powerful families have installed generators in their homes, which has led to a series of new commodities such as rubber, copper wire, tungsten light bulbs, gasoline, etc., The demand for a series of new commodities in Chang'an is increasing day by day, forming a lot of new industries.

From these aspects, Sun Xiangfu can roughly imagine that the Tang Dynasty has spared no effort to develop industry in the past 20 years, which has made the scientific and technological level of this period to what extent, at least to the level of the late Qing Dynasty in China, can be compared with the early eighteenth century, the world's scientific and technological level, perhaps, Sun Xiangfu's lifetime, can also see the scientific and technological level of the Tang Dynasty, to the level of the First World War, or the Republic of China.

"Do you have any progress on some of the ideas I provided in the previous two years?"

On the ship, Sun Xiangfu asked after listening to a few children chattering.

"Daddy is talking about a machine that uses wires to transmit messages?" Sun Jing seemed to remember something and asked rhetorically.

"It's not just that, it's the machine that retains the sound, and it's a gift I want to give to your mother." Sun Xiangfu smiled.

"I've heard that the kind of machine that uses wires to transmit information is already being tested, but it seems that there is no progress in the machine that retains the sound."

"If the telegraph comes out, the gramophone should be soon. I believe that your mothers will definitely want your voice to be heard by everyone in future generations. ”

"Is the gramophone so magical?"

"Of course, we can not only keep the sound, in fact, we can also keep our own portraits, there is a thing called a camera, in fact, with our current conditions, it is not difficult to build, and when we find a photosensitive material, we can record the photos of people or scenery as they are."

"Camera?"

"Yes, not just cameras, we have a lot of things that can be done to help people realize their imaginations, and these things will change our lives in the future."

With the steam engine, with electricity, the Tang Dynasty has entered a period of industrial revolution, the eighteenth century, when China was still in the Qianlong Emperor's policy of closing the country, the West entered an era of great invention, all kinds of things that were unimaginable to human beings, concentrated in just a few decades, were invented and manufactured by talents in various fields, making the West and China, opened a huge gap, the invention of this thing, most of them are steam engines and electricity.

Now, these things are bound to be created by Datang's inventors, making Datang's rule over the whole world more solid, because Datang's industrial foundation has been formed, and it is about to enter the process of developing and becoming stronger.
