Chapter 1388: Spirit and Matter
Before they reached Fenggao, they saw the incomparably tall and magnificent city walls from a long distance, and the Roman envoys were obviously silent.
When they actually arrived at Fenggao, looking at the people coming and going, the children running left and right, and listening to the cries one after another, the Roman envoys were under great pressure.
Looking at the constant flow of supplies coming in and out, everyone understood what it meant, even if it didn't need to be described in any way.
Serari slowly stepped out of the carriage, and he finally had a clear understanding of what Wu Xi had said before, "You'll know when you get there."
Maybe it is true that commerce should not be vigorously developed in this era when manpower cannot be separated from the land, but if there is anything in this world that can make the country look very prosperous, it must be commerce.
At present, Fenggao is almost the core area of the commercial distribution of the Han Dynasty, and the trade of the world's real bulk transactions, as long as it is not a prohibited trade for buying, more than fifty percent of it is carried out here, and this is the center of the world's commerce.
In terms of prosperity alone, in this era of the second century A.D., there is absolutely no city that can surpass it, and this is the most prosperous city on earth.
"Let's go, this is Bonggao." Wu Xi turned over and said to everyone proudly.
An Yue also translated this sentence truthfully, "This is Fenggao, if it is literally said, it is the highest place held by the earth." ”
Serari and the others rarely didn't reply, and they didn't say much about why no one came to greet this kind of nonsense, and this incomparably prosperous city really shocked them.
"Is the earth holding the highest place? Celisians. Oh, the Han Empire is really proud. But yes, that's what empires are. Serari drove his horse and followed An Yue and the others. After entering the city, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the prosperity and cleanliness of the city.
"General Wu, Marquis Chen is here, and Wang Junshou has already gone to receive him, so I can only come to greet him, and don't be surprised." Qin Qi clasped his fists and saluted, and a team of city management troops also followed closely to salute Wu Xi.
"No, no, these guys taunted them several times on the road. However, Feng Gao can be regarded as completely suppressing them this time. Wu Xi didn't know the dialect there, and the group of envoys would definitely not understand it anyway.
"Wang Junshou means that I will take you around first, and if Chen Hou is interested, he will also come." Qin Qi said with a smile, looking at those green-eyed guys with some curiosity.
"An said, ask them if they want to visit the city first." Wu Xi turned his head and said to An Yue, but before An Yue could translate, the envoy who could understand the words had already said that he wanted to go shopping. After all, they didn't just come to contact the Han Dynasty, but also needed to understand it.
"Is there a place where they can be calmed?" Wu Xi asked in a low voice.
"No problem, you're from the south, I'll take you to the north. There are a few buildings that you must see when you come to Bonggao. Qin Qi said with a smile.
"That's good, brother, I'll rely on you." Wu Xi hugged his fists and saluted, and the temperament of the army was instantly revealed.
"Xiliang's brother is our brother." Qin Qi also said with a fist salute.
Qin Qi led the group through Fenggao Center Street. From time to time on the road, some people curiously pointed at the Daqin people, and the shops everywhere they passed were full of dazzling goods. Dazzled Serari and the others.
However, after passing the bell tower at the central dividing point, you can see the two buildings reflecting the dazzling golden light in the sunlight from a distance. These two buildings alone brought back all the Romans who had been left behind to go shopping from time to time.
"That's ......" Wu Xi was also shocked at this time.
"The residence of the lord is one of the most famous buildings in Fenggao, but now the lord does not live there." Qin Qi said with a smile on his face, "Every time I pass by here, I feel dazzling, no matter how many times I pass by, it is so dazzling." ”
At this time, a full squad of city administrators passed by the Romans.
The nobleman Salvi, who had come with Serari, looked much more solemn after seeing the well-equipped, physically strong, energetic, and obviously experienced veterans passing by from time to time, and the quality of these soldiers was no less than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the battle in the Central Asian Plain.
The average height and average robustness of the people of the Han Empire had an advantage over the Romans, and tall meant strength!
"What a magnificent building." After getting closer to Liu Bei's residence, Serari looked at the golden building and muttered to himself, "What kind of building is this?" ”
"This is the abode of our lord." After An Yue's translation, Qin Qi said with a smile.
An said to translate truthfully, but the lord translated the past, in Rome it was actually the word emperor, Serari nodded silently, and then another nobleman began to tell the great republican system of Rome, there is no way to compare with the material, only the spirit.
"In Rome, if we want to build this kind of building, I am afraid it will require a vote of the whole parliament, and it will not be built by individuals, it should belong to the state, although it is a very luxurious building, but it should also be shared with the citizens." Lackle explained in detail the Roman republic, as well as the parliament, showing a very high spiritual civilization.
Of course, An Yue also translated it solidly, although Qin Qi didn't think that kind of system was any good at all, but he still saw the pride in the other party's expression.
"Oh, there's another one there, and everyone can go in." Qin Qi pointed to the library pavilion and said, and then all the people followed Qin Qi over.
"You're saying the books here are accessible to everyone?" Raklek's voice raised an octave, and although the building shone as brightly as the previous one, it was inhabited not by people, but by wisdom, and it was accessible to all.
[Only wisdom and the emperor can live in such a glorious place, that is, wisdom is as important as the emperor?] Serari silently thought that this was a very important piece of information.
"No, it's those who have our household registration that can watch it after meeting certain requirements." Qin Qi denied this statement, but the Roman aristocracy still felt shocked.
"Can I go and watch it?" Serari said in stiff Chinese, Wu Xi and the others didn't expect that this guy who had never spoken could actually speak Chinese.
"I can take you in, but not for long." Qin Qi nodded and said, Anyway, it's not allowed to flip through the book, it's okay to take it in and take a look, Wang Yu has almost told him. (To be continued.) )
