Yu Zhiqian wandered around the West Market with his hands behind his back, and the West Market was indeed much more interesting than the East Market.

If the East Market is equivalent to the Wangfujing of the capital in later generations, it is a hypermarket of various items, then the current West Market is Xidan and Dongdan, where all the goods are located, but the conditions and facilities are relatively simple.

Merchants from all over the world, speaking half-baked Chinese, were shouting loudly, and the goods were dazzling, most of them were some handicrafts, and Yu Zhiqian was not very interested in it after looking at it for a while.

Continue to walk forward for a while, Yu Zhiqian saw a group of Qiuci people performing, the main means of livelihood for Qiuci people to come to Chang'an is music, Yu Zhiqian listened to it for a while, Qiuci music is a bit like percussion music in later generations, a little messy, but people who have not heard it, still think it is good, it makes people feel refreshing.

In addition, there is a bare belly singer, wearing a veil, constantly twisting her neck, there is a piper beside her, a snake is constantly writhing with the music, many onlookers watch with relish, from time to time there are copper plates thrown over, and then immediately a short dwarf put the money in the bag, constantly making all kinds of funny expressions, hoping that someone can reward more.

Yu Zhiqian glanced at it and thought it was a little interesting, I had only seen it on TV before, and I felt good after seeing it at the scene, this singer was still very young, Yu Zhiqian threw away the broken silver for the girl's sake, and the singer immediately threw a few eyebrows.

Then Yu Zhiqian slowly continued to move forward, came to the West Market, Yu Zhiqian hoped to find something new, maybe something that could inspire him, but after a circle, Yu Zhiqian did not find it.

Sure enough, not everyone is Yun Ye, just walk around and find the seeds of pumpkins, thinking of this, Yu Zhiqian smiled self-deprecatingly, the little guy called Yun Ye, Yu Zhiqian has been observing, he is ten years old this year, Yu Zhiqian is going to throw him to Longyou in a few years, to see if there will be any traversers possessed.

Yu Zhiqian, who was about to go back to the palace or go to Pingkangfang, was suddenly attracted to a stall when he passed by, not because the stall sold something special, but because Yu Zhiqian noticed the young man sitting in front of the stall, holding a quill in his hand, and was constantly writing.

There are a lot of foreign Hu people, Yu Zhiqian has never seen a few Hu people who can write, and even some nomads, only language, no writing, and the content of this guy's writing Yu Zhiqian can't understand at all, but from his habit of using quill pens and writing paper, it doesn't look like an ordinary civilian, and it may be from Europe.

Now Yu Zhiqian wants to understand the West, and the use of quills is one of the signs of Westerners, in addition, Yu Zhiqian also observed the appearance of this guy, and the impression of the white man, there is not much difference, just a little short, and a little thin.

Yu Zhiqian walked over curiously, squatted down, glanced at the goods placed in the shop, and found that they were all ordinary goods, nothing of interest, and Marco Polo's uncle saw that Yu Zhiqian and the others were dressed like rich people, and the tiredness on his face was swept away: "Distinguished guest, may I ask what you need?" ”

Yu Zhiqian curiously glanced at the white man asking himself in broken Chinese and smiled: "Where are you from?" ”

This time it was Marco Polo's uncle's turn to be blinded, because he couldn't understand what Yu Zhiqian said, fortunately Yu Zhiqian followed Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan immediately spoke, Yu Zhiqian was very curious about Shen Wansan, whether he also had a system or crossed over, as long as it was what Hu Ren said, he could understand and translate.

"Distinguished guests, we are from the far west, and our hometown is in the Apennines!"

Shen Wansan simply translated it for Yu Zhiqian, and when Yu Zhiqian heard about the Apennine region, he began to think about what kind of place this was, and soon Yu Zhiqian thought that it should be Italy.

How far Italy is from the Yu Tang Empire, Yu Zhiqian knows very well that most of the Hu people he met before were Hu people from Central Asia or West Asia, and this time Yu Zhiqian met merchants from Europe for the first time.

"You are from the West, why are your goods all those of the Arabs? Is there a Western cargo? ”

After Shen Wansan finished translating, Marco Polo's uncle was stunned for a moment, and then carefully took out a few items from his box, which were very precious items he brought from his hometown.

"Honorable guest, this is our currency, and this is our special product of the flask, so you can do this, and then ...... like this"

Behind the currency is a double-headed eagle, Yu Zhiqian has no interest when he looks at it, and as for the wine jug, Yu Zhiqian is even less interested, and looks at Marco Polo not far away: "Are you writing a travelogue?" ”

"Your guest asks you!"

Marco Polo's uncle touched Marco Polo, and after Marco Polo heard it, he nodded: "Yes sir, I will record everything I saw and heard along the way!" ”

"What's your name?"

"Marco Polo!"

After Shen Wansan translated Marco Polo's name, Yu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, it really took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it, he wanted to understand the West, so a person from the West came over and looked at Marco Polo's thick notebook: "I'm very interested in your notebook, can you sell it to me?" ”

"Sir, this is my personal belongings, and I am not going to sell them!"

"Oh, really?"

Yu Zhiqian thought for a while and stood up: "I want all your goods, but I want you to follow me and tell me what you are like there, is it okay?" ”

Marco Polo looked at his uncle, Marco Polo's uncle was stunned by the sudden happiness, and his goods were all sold? He was very worried that his goods would not be sold, because there were many people around him who sold the same goods as him, and he was not competitive at all.

"So your guest, our room and board?"

"Of course I'm responsible!"

"Distinguished guests, we don't have any problems!"

"Pack up!"

Yu Zhiqian looked up at the sky, it was not early, and he was ready to return to the palace, this time the unexpected joy of leaving the palace was Marco Polo, after Yu Zhiqian ascended the throne, he set a small goal, not to unify the world, nor to establish a dynasty for all generations, but to prepare for the Han nationality, which will always stand at the peak of the world's nations, and will never slip.

In order to prevent any accidents, Yu Zhiqian decided to nip most of the dangers in the bud, such as the Dongying Kingdom, now Yu Zhiqian has begun to move, after investigating the topographic map of the Dongying Kingdom, he will wait for Su Dingfang, Zhou Yu and others to complete the naval training, directly land on the Dongying Island, and directly destroy the Dongying Kingdom.

In addition, Goguryeo is also within Yu Zhiqian's goal, the reason is not that he is worried about affecting the world's first status of the Han nationality, but because he is worried that this broken country will come out disgusting people in the future, although Goguryeo and Goryeo are two countries and two nations, at that time, in order to prevent Goryeo from appearing and not letting all the world's inventions belong to them, Yu Zhiqian felt that it was better to solve this nation that would appear in the future in advance.

In addition, the Americas, Yu Zhiqian has discovered, and hundreds of years in advance, in this hundred years, Yu Zhiqian is not ready to give up the Americas, and after the shipbuilding technology is improved, a large number of immigrants will be carried out to the Americas, even if the Americas do not obey the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty in the future, and become independent, but they are also the same root and ancestor as the Central Plains Dynasty, even if they turn their faces, they will not be wiped out.

Look at the world police in later generations, although they have always had a bad relationship with Europe, they have never done anything angry and resentful of Europe, because they know very well that they are the same race, although they may be different nationalities, but they are all white, what Yu Zhiqian has to do is that the continent of America is ruled by the Han people, and if the Central Plains declines in the future, the Han people in the Americas can rise and support each other.

The threat of the Eastern Ying Kingdom can end in the next few years, and the South America plan can also be launched, so the next one of Yu Zhiqian's concerns is Europe, although Europe is now very backward and barbaric, but in case of an early renaissance? Or is there a traverser too? Therefore, Yu Zhiqian is ready to do things while he is alive and will not give them any chance.

Marco Polo and the others packed up their things and followed Yu Zhiqian back, although they didn't know what Yu Zhiqian's identity was, but when they saw Yu Zhiqian's entourage and the people protecting him on both sides, they also knew that Yu Zhiqian's identity was not annoying, and as for their own safety, they would not worry, and when he came, he knew very well that if the Han people wanted to trouble them, they didn't have to be so troublesome at all.

About half an hour later, Marco Polo and the others came to the front of a huge palace, and looked at Yu Zhiqian with some shock, such a big palace, they had never seen it in their country, even the legendary Caesar Palace, it was a circle smaller than here, Marco Polo's uncle couldn't help but look at his guide Li A.

"What kind of place is this!"

"This is the Imperial Palace, you are lucky, the distinguished guest just now may be His Majesty the Emperor!"

After entering the palace, Yu Zhiqian went back directly to rest, he was tired enough today, he was ready to rest early, and teased his daughter, Yu Zhiqian went to bed early.

The next day, after Yu Zhiqian finished handling government affairs, he summoned Marco Polo and his party in the council hall.

"Respect His Majesty the Great Emperor, we didn't know your identity yesterday, don't be surprised!" Marco Polo's uncle, when he saw Yu Zhiqian sitting on the dragon chair, immediately knelt down without hesitation, last night, he chatted with Li A all night, and learned more about this powerful empire, the more he understood, the more frightened he became, and he didn't understand why the emperor of this empire summoned him.

Marco Polo was also very surprised, he followed and listened to it last night, knowing that the territory of this powerful empire is very large, and it is not clear how big Li A is, it is said that his easternmost side is an ocean, and the southernmost side is also an ocean, and the entire empire has hundreds of millions of people......

"Those who don't know are not guilty, I summoned you this time, I want to know your homeland, you are from the Apennine region, do you know the Germanic people, France? Oh yes, what country is your country now? What is the most powerful country in your country right now? ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's series of posts, Marco Polo was a little confused, but he quickly reacted, no wonder this empire can be so powerful, their emperor has such a powerful empire, and he still maintains an enterprising spirit and constantly understands the world, but what about his former country? Just for the area in front of them, they are constantly fighting, and they have fought each other for a little hatred for hundreds of years......

After thinking for a while, Marco Polo slowly spoke: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, the Germans you are talking about do exist, but they are a group of barbarians, and now they are fighting in the Franks, they are a group of militants, like the Slavs and the Celts, they are very warlike!" ”

Speaking of this, Marco Polo organized the language: "As for the France you are talking about, but there are Franks, they established the Carolingian dynasty, and now they are expanding, my hometown, the Apennine region has also been ruled by them, as for what country you said my hometown is, I regret to tell you, I don't know, it's not that I have something to hide, but because our country has been annexed by the Franks a hundred years ago, although we have always wanted independence and freedom, but never succeeded!" ”

When he said this, Marco Polo's tears almost stayed, his own nation did not have a strong national support, along the way, encountered all kinds of bullying, especially when he was close to the Yutang Empire, Marco Polo felt more deeply, the Arabs who were once invincible in front of them, when they met merchants from the Yutang Empire, they would be respectful and respectful, and they would not dare to have any conflict, and for them they were still all kinds of cynicism, and even sometimes they would do it.

Yu Zhiqian didn't know much about the history of Europe, and he could only say that he had some impressions after the post station, and he didn't even know whether the Franks were a nation or a state.

"I remember that there was a powerful empire in the West, it seemed to be called the Roman Empire, and what is that empire now?"

Yu Zhiqian didn't know much about the news of the Roman Empire, and occasionally some news came, but it was all fragmentary, and there was not much useful news when summed up.

"Back to His Majesty the Great Emperor, in my hometown, there are two most powerful empires, one is the Eastern Roman Empire, the other is the Arab Empire, the Roman Empire you said has been divided and divided into two Roman Empires, the Western Roman Empire has been subverted by the Germanic barbarians hundreds of years ago, the Eastern Roman Empire is now called the Byzantine Empire, and the Arab Empire has invaded from the east, they are very powerful, and they are constantly at war with the Eastern Roman Empire!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, didn't the Roman Empire? I am really a historical scumbag!
