The next day, Li Shimin followed the route and went to visit the fruit canning workshop, in the golden autumn season, there are many fruits, oranges, ploughs, bananas, and jackfruit transplanted from the country of Pi, piled up like a mountain, and is still being transported constantly.

The fruit canning workshop is located at the foot of a mountain, where spring water flows down, and there are rows of workers who wash the fruit, cut it into small pieces, and then put it into cans, the whole process is like flowing water, hundreds of people are busy but not messy, and they are neatly dressed, their hair is all tightly strickled, and the men's beards are not left, all of them look clean and neat.

Of course, the grain in Lingnan did not disappoint, and the most shocking thing was of course the salt pans and seafood.

Yantian Feng Ang just led the crowd to watch from a distance, the same endless Yantian, making the earth like the beginning of heavy snow, a vast white patch, shining silver under the scorching sun.

A group of people rode or sat on elephants to the seaside fishing village, and also watched the fishermen farming pearls, kelp, and various fish, shrimp, and shellfish in the offshore waters.

The use of the bay, the diversion of sea water as a fish farm, as long as there was no big hurricane and waves in the year, there is a stable income, you must know that now the delicacies of the mountains and seas, in Guanzhong is still very good, and the value is very high.

The bay has always been calm, a little storm, no impact, fishermen catch small fish and shrimp, are farmed in it, a year or two later can be fished.

Now there are not many fishermen on the seaside, and there are enough bays for them to use, and when the population grows in the future, there will naturally be more ways and more places.

For several days in a row, Theodora spent in a drowsy state, and all his knowledge completely turned his concept of life upside down, and he never imagined that there could be a place so rich, even the nobility of their Constantinople was not as good as a small merchant, at most a little more than a soldier.

After visiting Lingnan, Theodora barely knelt on the ground, praying that Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others must sell them weapons, and it is best to teach them to grow food, or give seeds, completely placing the Tang Dynasty in a higher position than Eastern Rome.

Xuanling agreed to sell the weapons and equipment room, but as for the grain seeds, he only said that he needed to discuss them, and did not give a direct reply.

The group accompanied Li Shimin directly back to Luoyang from Lingnan, stayed in Luoyang for a few days, and visited Qu Tutong, who was old Longzhong.

Qu Tutong is almost eighty, this old man returned to his hometown three years ago, has been living in Luoyang, although old, but still deaf and clear, with specially made reading glasses, very casual reception of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't care either, after all, an old man who is almost eighty is qualified to do whatever he wants, let alone an old man who has devoted half his life to the country.

Li Shimin not only gave a decree to reward many ginseng, abalone and other supplements, but also gave Qu Tushou, Qu Tuquan and the two brothers promoted to official positions, and smiled happily to show the only two big teeth left.

At the end of November of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, who had left Chang'an for more than half a year, came back leisurely, and as for the reward for going to Goguryeo, he had already distributed it himself.

The crown prince Li Chengqian supervised the country for half a year, and his performance was remarkable, and the court praised him well, and Li Shimin was in power, so he went out with great confidence.

Li Shimin needs to return to Beijing, also because the New Year is approaching, many affairs must be decided by him, and the New Year also needs to be arranged, so he will go all the way back to Beijing, otherwise he will still wander outside.

The occupation of Goguryeo and the annexation of Silla and Baekje were all his achievements, and of course they needed to be celebrated with great vigour, and the newly built cemetery of the martyrs of Zhengliao outside the city in China was also completed.

Loyal to the monarch and serving the country, once again emphasizing propaganda in the newspaper, the martyrs will always be remembered, even if it is a change of dynasty.

Although there were many casualties in this expedition, according to the reward set by Li Shimin, it was also unprecedentedly rich, money, land, all of them, official positions, titles, of course, women, all of whom had no family were allotted, and they were contributing to the cause of the population of the Tang Dynasty.

Because there were too many widows left behind in Goguryeo, even the brothers in the families of the sacrificed soldiers were arranged to have one or two, which reduced the grief of the bereaved families to some extent.

Now around the Tang Dynasty, there are almost no opponents, after Li Shimin returned to Beijing, he held a grand celebration, and then issued an order to celebrate with the whole world, and informed the world that the grain tax of the people in the ninth year of Zhenguan was reduced by three layers, which can be described as a real universal celebration.

Theodora, who came to Chang'an with Li Shimin, was completely impressed by Chang'an, and his memoirs written after his return to China recorded that Chang'an, a paradise-like place, was a city larger than Constantinople, with a population of two million, but it was not at all as crowded as Constantinople.

They had wide streets, tall and beautiful houses, all made of transparent glass, every house had a crystal mirror, and there was a constant stream of merchants coming and going in the city every day, and I met our Eastern Roman merchants, who gave me a detailed introduction to this mighty empire.

The empire was prosperous, wealthy, and possessed the largest territory of our Roman period, and continues to expand, with strong and well-armed men, and a large number of invincible generals who are said to be the changing stars.

I have the privilege of being summoned by the living god into that fairyland-like palace, and ah! It was a place that cannot be described in words, gorgeous, exquisite, beautiful, none enough to describe.

There are palaces piled up with jade, jewels inlaid in the hall, no candles are used at night, they are as bright as day, all kinds of rare treasures, forming gardens, and strange flowers and plants are all around the palace.

Between the palaces, mostly connected by green jade, the ground, the walls are pasted with smooth and delicate masonry, they call it floor tiles, wall tiles.

Some of the important palaces are paved with white jade, wrapped in gold and silver, and carved from precious wood, which comes from all over the world, not only fragrant, but also not eaten by insects, and will not decay after thousands of years.

Twenty miles outside Chang'an City, there is a new city, with a train, the so-called train, is a kind of dozens of zhang long, without mules and horses pulling, can run along a road built of steel, a trip can pull thousands of people, and there is also a road leading to a city three hundred miles away, pulling countless goods, one day.

There are countless wonderful foods in the new town, which can be tasted and eaten to their heart's content, without repeating the same, and at very cheap prices.

The new city is a place for everyone to have leisure and fun, not only has a lot of food, but also a huge playground, a zoo, there are thousands of animals from all over the world, hundreds of species, imprisoned in the garden, made of steel fences, so that people can visit from afar.
