Section 682 Submission (1)
From the Bacheng Gate straight into Chang'an.
The entire Wusun Mission was already in a state of confusion.
"Han Dynasty people...... It's really ......" Everyone swallowed their saliva and walked through the gates of the city gates.
The huge city gate is like a mountain gorge.
What shocked them even more was that this city gate used a lot of pig iron.
Not only that, but on both sides of the city gate, the roads paved with bluestone are things they don't even dare to imagine.
The city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty is like the ultra-modern metropolises of New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Neon Tokyo and London in the 80s of the 20th century.
On the whole earth, I am afraid that only Luoyang and Linzi, which both belong to the Han family, can be compared with it.
Therefore, the panic and shock of the Wusun mission can naturally be imagined.
But, this is just the beginning.
After entering the city, every Wusun person was completely shocked by the scene in front of them.
The city in front of you......
It's beyond what they used to define as a city.
The roads are spacious and tidy, intertwined.
Houses stand on both sides of the road.
Pedestrians come and go, like a tide, like a river, rushing endlessly.
Even if it is in the myths and legends of Wusun, the temple of the gods, I am afraid that it is nothing more than that.
"Your ......" Nimi lifted the curtain, looked at the prosperous heaven-like scenery, and muttered to himself: "How many people are there in Chang'an City in your country?" ”
"Last year, the Prime Minister's Mansion reported to Lantai, the registered population of Chang'an City, 83,500 households, 234,000 people......" Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "This is just a person who has a household and a people......
"Noble retainers, slaves and maids, merchants, officials, and craftsmen are not among them......"
After listening to it, the whole person was smecing.
230,000 people in one city?
The herdsmen and nobles of the whole country in Temo Wusun are combined, and Dingkou is also this number.
His tribe, with 80,000 Dingkou, already dared to argue with Chigu City and dare to bargain with Weng Guimi.
Even the Huns had to stammer and entrap him.
And the Han Dynasty ......
One city crushed the whole country of Wusun......
This is exaggerated, incredible!
If anyone had said that to him in Wusun, he would have thought that man had gone mad.
Can a city fit so many people?
Let's be funny!
But now, the facts are in front of you.
The Han people have created a miracle!
"Then ......," Nimi asked in a low voice, bowing his once arrogant head, "how did your country raise such a large population?" ”
In order to feed his two or three hundred thousand Dingkou, Wusun has done his best and exhausted all means.
But unfortunately, even Akatani Castle and his nobles, working day and night, could not support so many Dingkou and their wives, concubines, children, and slaves.
No way, the Wusun people are nomadic people, and their staple food is cheese and milk.
Perhaps in the impression of many people, nomads belong to the kind of people who do not produce, do not eat or drink, and go to rob without eating.
But in fact, it's quite the opposite.
Nomads, like farming peoples, are generally self-sufficient in food for their survival.
The difference between the two is that the farming people are sedentary growers, while the nomadic people are the groups that herd and live in pursuit of water and grass.
Agrarian peoples, by cultivating land, growing crops, and harvesting grain.
The nomadic people, on the other hand, graze their livestock and harvest their furs, various kinds of mare's milk, goat's milk, and milk.
For them, livestock is a crop, while pasture is land.
The proceeds of plunder and conquest in foreign wars are, in many cases, only a supplement.
The bulk of food security depends on the variety of dairy products produced by the livestock they graze.
So, here the distinction is formed.
The land of the farming people can increase the yield by improving the cultivation technology, deep ploughing, fertilization, weeding and other methods.
Before the development of modern farming and animal husbandry technology, nomads did not have much possibility to improve themselves.
They have no technology to increase the milk production of their livestock, let alone to speed up the growth of grass in their pastures.
So......
In the Han family, a small landlord could rely on his own diligence and frugality to let his family live a good life, and even have some spare energy to support his children to study part-time.
And the herdsmen and petty nobles of Wusun and Xiongnu may even starve at any time.
What's even more terrifying is that except for the top group of people, everyone else may even have a question mark if they are full.
Later generations imagined that nomads were eating meat and drinking wine.
Unfortunately, in the long feudal era, even the head of the clan may not be able to do it.
The era when herdsmen were able to drink wine and eat meat was a matter after the founding of New China.
To be precise, it is the result of the new millennium, with the country's economic development, continuous improvement of productive forces, and the emergence of the world's factory, after the central government has spent a lot of money on the frontiers to subsidize, help, and build.
In the long feudal era, the life of the herdsmen in the best years on the grassland may not be as good as the life of a yeoman farmer in China.
Hunger is the norm, illness is the norm, and plague is rampant and disasters are frequent, which is something they are accustomed to.
It is precisely because of this that Nimi and the entire mission were so shocked by the situation in Chang'an City.
Especially Ni Mi saw with his own eyes the flow of people in front of him.
There were nobles, merchants, officials, soldiers, and common people.
They were dressed differently and looked different.
However, even those civilians who were dressed in patches and were probably on the same class as the low-level herdsmen on the steppe had a shiny face, and they did not have yellow, messy, yellow-skinned and desperate faces like those low-level herdsmen in Wusun.
On the contrary, even these people.
It is also energetic, walking with his head held high.
Their clothes, though a little shabby.
But it was washed cleanly, and the hair was neatly combed and wrapped in a cloth towel.
Instead of shaving their heads regularly like the Wusun people, Huns, and Ding Ling people, in order to avoid the ravages of lice and other parasites.
Shave your head very ugly!
Everyone has a love for beauty.
This is true even for nomadic people.
Therefore, the Huns invented the felt hat, and the Wusun people further developed it, developing a felt hat with a triangular shape that could cover the entire head.
In this way, he disguised his scarred head, which was extremely ugly and even bitten by lice.
But......
The Han Dynasty did not do so.
Even the ragged civilians in front of them had neat hair wrapped in cloth towels.
As for the officials, scholars and nobles, they are even more crowned and feathered, and their demeanor is confident and proud.
muddy, I once thought that these Han Dynasty people's clothing, crown and belt, cumbersome and useless.
But now, he didn't dare to think so.
Because, what they saw and heard along the way, everyone in the Han people wore crowns.
He had previously ignored this because of his arrogance and arrogance.
But now, when he looks back, his whole body is like falling into an ice cave.
Han people wear crowns with long hair......
Han people grow their hair and wear crowns!
Han people wear crowns with hair?
What does this mean?
It means that the people of the Han Dynasty not only possessed national strength, population and wealth far beyond Wusun.
Even the commoners at the bottom of the Han Dynasty could have the same amount of leisure time as a great Wusun nobleman like him to take care of personal hygiene, comb their hair, wash their bodies, and keep them clean and tidy.
Instead of being like most of the people of Wusun and the Huns, they are tired every day, and they work hard to make the livestock eat a little more grass and grow a little more, so the whole body, inside and outside the leather jacket, there are countless parasites such as lice, and the whole body exudes a strong fishy smell.
This fact made all the pride that Nimi once had in his heart collapse in an instant!
In his heart, he was even born with inferiority for the first time.
Inferiority to the backwardness of one's own country.
Inferiority to the poverty of one's own country.
Inferiority to the arrogance that he once thought he had.
In a sense, Nimi can also be regarded as the first person in Wusun to open his eyes to see the world.
Zhang Yue looked at the muddy expression, smiled slightly in his heart, but said very politely: "The envoy doesn't know, in order to feed the 230,000 people of Chang'an, my emperor and the Holy Son of Heaven have worked hard in the world, dreaming of sleeping at night, and worrying about it!" ”
"Fortunately, thanks to the luck of heaven, the spirit of the community, and the lives of the subjects, it can barely make the people live and work in peace and contentment, free from exile, hunger, cold, and dispersion......
"This is the holy virtue of the Son of Heaven!"
Nimi listened, unable to speak for a long time.
Although Zhang Yue said it modestly, he ......
Because of this, Nimi is so jealous.
Because, even so, this is something that the Wusun people never dared to imagine.
The paradise in the myths and legends of Wusun is nothing more than a place where there is no hunger, cold, and disease.
The Han Dynasty, on the other hand, has already done this through its own efforts.
The paradise of the Wusun people was nothing but the daily life of the Han people in the Han Dynasty.
This terrible contrast and disparity made the mud tremble.
Not to mention, in case, this minister of the Han Dynasty is just talking.
In fact, the people of the Han Dynasty could enjoy such a life without spending too much money?
Nimi bowed his head deeply and sighed.
Zhang Yue looked at his expression with a smile on his face.
He knew that his plan was a success!
But that's not enough!
Until now, the Wusun mission only felt the shock and knew the gap.
But they don't have the motivation yet, and there is no reason to do what Zhang Yue and the Han family need them to do for Zhang Yue and the Han family.
After all, you have to know that the ideas of the powerful and the thoughts of ordinary people are two different patterns.
The things that the powerful care about are also completely different from ordinary people.
Not to mention, the leaders of some countries in later generations were sent to the West from an early age, received elite education, grew up in a completely modern society, can speak fluent English, and also have a deep understanding of the Internet age.
But at home, they are trying their best to create an atmosphere in which the Midi is in dire straits, the European people are struggling to make a living, and the Chinese cultivation is extremely hateful.
What kind of theme and slogan of the First Army, shouted loudly in the sky, it will destroy the rotten capitalism at every turn!
Why?
In a simple sentence, it can be summed up - after I die, who cares about the flood!
To avoid this, Zhang Yue knew that he needed to show the Wusun people another world.
A world that every ruler dreams of.
