After going up the street, Wang Fei and his party walked west. Although the inner city of Tingzhou is brightly lit, because most of the people live in the officials and military of various government offices, they only hang up the lights, but they are not very lively.

Out of the inner city, the atmosphere immediately becomes different, the wide side streets rub shoulders, and the traffic and people gather together, bright as a river.

The most eye-catching thing on the side street is those wonderful cultural performances. Groups of musicians dressed in splendid costumes sat on squeaky ox carts, playing and singing and swaggering through the market under the moonlight and bright lights like water. In order to attract people's attention, the musicians also decorated their ox carts, some dressed the bulls in tiger skins, and some decorated the ox carts with rhinoceros and elephants......

In addition, there are all kinds of acrobatic performers, next to the ox cart and on both sides of the road, running dry boats, walking ropes, swallowing steel swords, spitting lotus flowers, wrestling sumo wrestling, dancing horses and fighting cocks, tug-of-war and drilling fire rings...... It can be said that the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their abilities.

Wang Fei rode on the little red horse, looking at the joyful and lively crowd with a lot of thoughts.

At this moment, the Datang Dynasty is clear in Haiyan River, and ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment. But who would have thought that after only seven years, there would be a catastrophe that would shatter the sky and shake the earth, and the whole of China would fall into boundless war and darkness.

If this catastrophe is just an ordinary change of dynasties, and the rise and fall of dynasties has its own reasons, Wang Fei may choose to find a place not to be affected by the war, seclusion in the mountains and forests, and protect himself.

But this catastrophe is different from the ordinary change of dynasties, and in fact, the change of dynasties has not been realized. But it is more than the succession of dynasties brought about by the "prosperity, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer" is even more hateful, because it reverses the vigorous and masculine spiritual temperament of the Chinese nation, changes the broad mind of the Chinese civilization, and interrupts the pioneering and enterprising pace of exploration of the sons and daughters of the Han family.

When the catastrophe came, the Yan Zhao army, which was originally responsible for defending the enemy from outside, was alienated into a rebel army that destroyed the Chinese civilization, and the soldiers of Anxi and Beiting, who were originally responsible for pioneering and enterprising, had to return to Shiqin Wang......

After the catastrophe, although the culprit was extinguished, the source of the disaster was difficult to break, the Hebei feudal town was divided, the court Niu Li party dispute, and the central eunuchs arbitrarily powered, and the entire Tang Dynasty fell into endless internal friction and strife, and the national strength was greatly reduced and comprehensively contracted.

The land in the river, west of the Green Ridge, the medicine kills the water, the Wuhu River is still surging, the Gongyue City and the Broken Leaf Town are still majestic, but the children of the Han family have never set foot here again after the Tang Dynasty! The Song Dynasty did not see Dunhuang, the Ming Dynasty stopped at Hami, the great cause of the Han and Tang Dynasties ceased to be seen in the world, and the homeland of the Han family became a foreign land in China......

Thinking of this, Wang Fei couldn't help but feel like a knife and tears, this pain far exceeded the entanglement of Ashina Xiaoyun.

At this moment, Wang Fei once again felt that an unprecedented deep responsibility was heavily pressed on his shoulders.

Perhaps his own crossing is not just a tease and accident from heaven; Perhaps his own crossing really shoulders the will of heaven and a heavy responsibility. Maybe it was really his emotion in the ruins of Broken Leaf City that alarmed the heavens.

In any case, since he has crossed over, this Datang should be different because of himself!

After sighing, Wang Fei was a little dazed. It's been four months since he came to Datang, but Wang Fei hasn't fully figured out where he should start to change Datang.

Engage in gunpowder, tinker with steam engines, and upgrade the technology flow in Datang? First, it is not realistic, and secondly, there is also a risk of technology diffusion, which cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, as a liberal arts student, Wang Fei can only lament the high-tech innovation, "The concubine can't do it!" ”

Of course, Wang Fei has been using encrypted simplified Chinese characters to record various technological innovations in his memory, and strive to find a breakthrough point suitable for the productivity level of the Tang Dynasty and his own needs.

Copying poems, writing articles, editing newspapers, and carrying out reforms? Wang Fei has some experience in this regard. But the problem is that the current Wang Fei is only a ten-year-old child. Tong, although he has an official identity from the seventh rank of Chaosanlang and the son of the envoy of the Beiting Festival, there is still a very long way to go from influencing the government and promoting reform, and Wang Fei can only record these shining golden fingers first, so as not to forget them in the future.

However, in the confusion, Wang Fei still found a historical event that urgently needs to be changed, that is, the "Battle of Talas" that was discussed by netizens in Wang Fei's previous life!

Wang Fei has been worried about this since he met the little princess Anicei outside Broken Leaf City, and he felt that from the moment Wang Yong rescued Anice, history has been different.

In the haze, Wang Fei remembered that the Battle of Talas in history broke out in the tenth year of Tianbao (751) and ended with the victory of the Black Clothes Great Food. Wang Fei couldn't remember the details of the battle clearly, but he was particularly impressed that when the Battle of Talas broke out, the black-clothed Great Food had basically completely replaced the white-clothed Great Food, and initially unified the entire Great Food Empire.

And Gao Xianzhi didn't know much about this, the Anxi army was originally just going out to crusade against Shiguo, but it had to face the siege of several times the Great Food Army, and finally returned defeated.

How can you change the outcome of the Battle of Talas? On the way back to Tingzhou from Broken Leaf City, Wang Fei was repeatedly entangled in this problem, and finally came up with a plan that he didn't fully grasp.

After exposing the lies of the Sogdian merchants, Wang Fei took advantage of the situation to tell Wang Zhengjian that he had more insight in his heart, just to attract Wang Zhengjian's attention.

After attracting the attention of Wang Zhengjian and Du Huan, Wang Fei instilled many memories of the Great Food Empire in Wang Zhengjian in the name of asking his father for advice on the situation in the western part of the country.

And Wang Zhengjian, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is modest, immediately strengthened the intelligence collection on Dashi, and finally came to the conclusion that it is necessary to crack down on the black-clothed Dashi as soon as possible and maintain the civil strife of Dashi.

Wang Zhengjian, as the envoy of the Beiting Festival, still has a considerable influence on the affairs of the court, especially the military and political affairs in the western part of the country.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to sacrifice the heavenly horses, Wang Zhengjian appointed Ashina Yang to enter the Jingmian Saint, and reported the strategic plan of containing the black-clothed food to Li Longji in person. But what the final result was, Wang Fei still didn't know.

Will Li Longji be able to pay enough attention to the threat of black-clothed food? Will Li Linfu hinder Wang Zhengjian's plan? Will the Beiting Army be able to accomplish the tasks that the Anxi Army has not completed? …… Wang Fei's heart is full of big question marks! The fierce north wind swept the fox fur on his body, and it did not distract him in the slightest.

"What is Brother Fei doing in a daze?" While Wang Fei was watching the hundred operas through the car window, he suddenly noticed Wang Fei who was wandering in the world.

"He's still savoring the refreshing fragrance on my sister's wrist!" Ashina Wenxia's words are like daggers, extremely sharp.

Wang Fei and Ayi Tenggena were speechless when they heard this, so they could only look at each other and laugh.

Fortunately, there was a hustle and bustle on the street, and neither Wang Fei nor Ashina Xiaoyun heard the conversation in the car. Otherwise, with Ashina's temper, he would definitely abandon the horse and board the car, and the three of them would have to come in.

"Juxiang, it's almost to Nanshi, right?" Wang Fei turned around and asked his personal maid, diverting the topic.

As the person who has the closest contact with the Ashina sisters, she naturally knows about Mrs. Pei's visit to congratulate, so she doesn't want to joke too much about Ashina's marriage.

"Well, it's almost there, and the servant has already seen the lanterns on Wenxitang's lantern wheel, it's so beautiful!" Ju Xiang drilled her head out of the car window and shouted excitedly!

The end point of Wang Fei's trip on Yuanxi is Nanshi, which is located on the southwest side of Tingzhou City.

Nanshi is bordered by Hengjie in the north and Nanchang Street in the east connecting the north and south gates, which is the most prosperous and lively place in the whole Tingzhou City.

Every year on New Year's Eve, the shops in the south market will hang lanterns, tie lantern wheels, build lantern towers, and erect lantern trees to promote their own shops.

Each owner has spared no effort to show off the strength of the store. But the winners of the previous year are basically no suspense at all, and they are all Hedong Wenxitang. Backed by the power of the Pei family and Mrs. Pei in Hedong, no one dares to grab the limelight of Hedong Wenxitang.

This year, however, the situation has changed slightly. Last autumn, Wang Yuanbao, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an, opened his Ruyiju branch to Tingzhou, preparing to shine at the Lantern Festival on the New Year's Day, overpowering all competitors.

As the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yuanbao has always been despised by the family and the wealthy family, but his financial resources are rarely matched.

It is said that his residence in Chang'an is extremely luxurious, there is a room of etiquette and sage in the house, with gold and silver stacked as the wall, with Shen Tan as the threshold, with the ground of the shard, with the brocade stone as the pillar base.

It is said that in order to prevent the slip of the back garden path, he actually threaded the copper coin and built it into the road, which is expensive and muddy and not slippery.

There is also a legend that Wang Yuanbao's family has a beautifully made dragon skin fan, when the guests are feasted in the summer month, this fan is placed in front of the seat, so that the new water is sprinkled, then it is sassy, between the wine, the guests have a cold color, and then they are ordered to withdraw.

An even more exaggerated rumor is that the saints were all shocked by Wang Yuanbao's wealth, and asked him how much furniture he had, and Wang Yuanbao replied without modesty: "Your Majesty, please tie your majesty to a tree in Nanshan, the tree in Nanshan is exhausted, and the minister is not endless." ”

Whether these rumors are true or false, whether someone deliberately carved them, no one can say. But there is no doubt that Wang Yuanbao is rich and rivals the country, and he is rich and rich.

In the face of such a strong competitor, Wen Xitang naturally did not dare to be sloppy. In order to overwhelm Ruyiju, Wen Xitang invited skilled craftsmen from Chang'an in advance, and spent millions and six or seven days to make a giant light wheel as high as 12 zhang, which was placed at the east gate of Nanshi.

The lantern wheel is wrapped with colorful silk brocade, decorated with gold and silver, and 30,000 lanterns are hung, like colorful clouds and glowing flowers and trees. Standing anywhere in Tingzhou City, you can see the towering giant light wheel competing with the stars and the moon!
