Chapter 370: A Bite of the World

Previous Chapter

"Belly dancing is not an unusual thing in my Tang Dynasty, they are really that good at dancing?" Datang also has belly dancing, which is a show that Hu Shang brought over after he passed. Many people in Datang know and have seen it, and there is nothing unusual.

Several women around Li Hao will also dance this dance from time to time, because this has some benefits for women's bodies and fertility. That's why Li Hao will let his women learn it, but it's probably just at home and jumping by himself, this can't be shown to other women casually.

"I think they dance well, and my wife also thinks so, she has worked with her wife in the women's flower for a while, and her vision should not be bad. But in the end, it depends on what the teacher thinks, whether they can win the prize in this competition, and it will also be beneficial to the promotion of my governor's mansion in the imperial court. This side can't just rely on digging oil to attract people, but also have their different style. ”

Li Hao's students are obviously not fascinated by the women of the song and dance troupe, nor are they using these women to buy Li Hao. Of course, if Li Hao wants one of these women, this is not a difficult thing, I don't know how many women in the world want to marry into the Li Mansion, and the women here have also heard of Li Hao's name.

"Well, that's a good idea, let's go and see it together in the evening." Li Hao is still a little interested in belly dancing, but he is not much interested in finding a woman again, he is still followed by a few foreign girls, how to deal with the past when he goes back, he still has to worry about it.

The dinner party in the evening was very rich, Li Hao's students personally cooked a table to welcome their teacher, and the people present were his wife and Li Hao and a few women. After eating it, Li Hao felt that the taste was really good, although it was all ordinary ingredients.

"The craft has grown a lot over the years, and the things here have been made by you to taste out. Although it is said that men are not inside the house, I think I still know a little bit about cooking. At no time can we treat ourselves and our bodies badly. Work is important, but so is health and family. ”

Li Hao praised his students after tasting it, and his students did a good job in this regard, which made Li Hao feel very pleased. After all, most of the students are married to their classmates, they are all their own students, or people who work in the Li Mansion, and Li Hao hopes that they can all be happy.

"This is still a good teacher's teaching, my wife is usually cooking in the house, and I only do it on holidays or rest days." Got Li Hao's praise, Li Hao's students were a little happy, Li Hao rarely praised people before, but he would praise them all these years.

After the dinner, people from the song and dance troupe were arranged here to come and perform. For Li Hao's students, their teachers are hovering at the 'threshold' that they know a little bit about in this regard. The song and dance competition of Datang is still organized by Li Hao, and he naturally has a good insight into the performances here.

Li Hao's students didn't lie to Li Hao, the song and dance troupe on his side did have something commendable and danced well. However, belly dancing is very dependent on music, and this requires good music to play a better role. Seeing that his students had made a delicious meal for themselves, Li Hao thought about it, and then gave them a few songs from later generations.

The people in the song and dance troupe didn't know Li Hao, and they had to be introduced by Li Hao's students, and then the people who took the lead took down the music given by Li Hao like a treasure, and began to ponder it overnight. At this time, music also developed a lot, and many instruments were made in advance, whether it was Western or Chinese.

After having a tune, it is not difficult to play the music, and those dancing girls eat this bowl of rice. The next night, after Li Hao and the others enjoyed the food made from the good ingredients on this side of the Persian Gulf, these girls were already able to perform roughly, and then performed a good performance for Li Hao, hoping that Li Hao could give some advice.

After knowing Li Hao's identity, those dancing girls became excited in front of Li Hao, looking at Li Hao's eyes full of admiration, but they didn't forget to dance. The dance that came out was full of provocative flavor, which made Li almost unable to hold it when he looked good.

After pointing out these girls in their attire and some details, Li Hao hurriedly called it a day, and then had a night with the four women around him before he removed the anger in his heart. This made him look forward to how good the dance here could be, and these Persian women danced really well.

When they left the Persian Gulf, these girls followed Li Hao's boat to Datang. They went to participate in the singing and dancing competition, and it was more comfortable to walk by sea, plus Li Hao's students, so they took Li Hao's big boat back together. Riding on Li Hao's boat is not only comfortable, but also safe.

This made Li Hao entangled, this journey is not a day or two, staying together every day, doesn't this make me uncomfortable? Those four princesses didn't have these Persian girls to show themselves. Isn't he in the same boat with them?

Starting from the Persian Gulf, the next sea area is the Indian Ocean, Li Hao will dock on the Tianzhu side, and then replenish and recuperate before continuing to set off. Tianzhu is the first to be liberated, and because it is relatively close to the core area of Datang, and it is rich in products. It's a lot faster here.

After coming ashore from the harbor, I saw more Tang people, and occasionally there were only a few Tianzhu people, or the former Fusang Goguryeo people, and now they all belong to the New Tang Dynasty. They speak this fluent Tang language, and their living habits and clothes are the same as those of the Tang people, and if they don't pay attention to it, it is difficult to detect that they are not Tang people in the first place.

In fact, not only them, but even the Tianzhu people here are also fluent in Tang Chinese, and their clothes and habits have become the same as those of the Tang people. You can see Taoist temples everywhere, many Tianzhu people used to worship and pray, and the preachers of the Tang Dynasty State Religion were explaining Taoism to them.

After a night's rest here, the next step is the Nanyang Islands. These places were incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty earlier than Tianzhu, and for some reason, there are basically no natives here, all of them are Datang people. So after arriving here, it feels more like arriving at an island city in Datang.

The economic development of these places is also much better, with a large number of ships staying in the harbor, many of which are loaded with grain, all kinds of processed meat, and all kinds of new products transported from Datang. The trade is very prosperous, and the faces of the merchants who come and go are either satisfied after making money, or worried about whether their new products can be sold at a good price.

"Is this the central area of Datang? It's much more prosperous than our side, and I don't know when our side will be like this. "The Persian song and dance troupe that followed Li Hao, as well as a few European princesses, were extremely envious when they saw this scene, this place was much more prosperous than their hometown.

"No, this is Datang's Nanyang Road, which is still a little far from the central area of Datang. Our next stop is Guangzhou Mansion, which is close to the central area of Datang, and it is more prosperous there. After listening to the conversations of several girls, Li Hao replied with a smile. Nanyang, which is not a well-developed way, makes these girls envious, and when they arrive in Guangzhou Mansion, it is estimated that they will only kneel and submit.

The territory of Lingnan Road has changed somewhat from before, but because Li Hao has been in power for a period of time, and has been vigorously developing production and developing the economy, it has now become one of the most developed places south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty, just like Quanzhou Mansion, Tanzhou Prefecture, and Hangzhou Mansion that developed later cannot compare with these three places.

Li Hao and the others only stopped at the Xiangjiang Wharf in Guangzhou Prefecture, and did not go along the Pearl River to the Guangzhou Prefecture to replenish supplies. Despite this, both the ports of Hong Kong and Zhuhai are now much more prosperous than the other seaports on the other side of the Nanyang Road. There are more ships coming and going here, and because of the improvement of the level of Datang architecture, you can see glass-cement houses with more than three or four floors everywhere here, and the streets are full of various new products.

Merchants from all over the world would gather in these places and negotiate with the shops about the price of the goods, and they would ship them to other places to sell. The vigorous development of several large shipyards has made Datang's shipbuilding industry one of the fastest growing industries, with a large number of ships launching every day.

After arriving here, there were more steam engine ships of all kinds, and from time to time the sound of ships passing by and the sound of horns as they entered the harbor could be heard. This made these women on Li Hao's boat fuss one by one, these things were things they had never entered. For some technical reasons, the steam engine ships are still concentrated on the coastline east of the Tang Dynasty, and the farthest is only to the Persian Gulf, which is rarely seen, and for these girls, these are all novelties.

After Canton is the island of Ryukyu, which is now a newly developed city, and Li Hao still only docks at the pier for one night and then continues north. Li Hao, the Quanzhou Mansion across the sea, didn't go, although it was also the place where he had fought.

After crossing Ryukyu Island, they went ashore in Songzhou Province, and from there they took a train to Hangzhou Province and then took a boat through the canal. In fact, after crossing the river, they can also stop the train to go to Chang'an. However, Li Hao felt that taking the train was not as comfortable as taking the boat, and after arriving in Luoyang Mansion, they could take the train to Chang'an again.

Whether it's along the canal or the other cities you pass through, all of them are full of life. A large number of scientific and technological products have been applied to the people, which has also led to the rapid development of the people's economy. After arriving here, you can still see simple cars running on the cars in some places, and electric lights can be seen in several big cities, so that these places have the development trend of cities that never sleep.

The girls who followed Li Hao were shocked from the beginning, and after passing through this way, all that was left was numbness. I was shocked so much that I couldn't be shocked anymore. There are so many things here that are unbelievable in their eyes, and they are like hillbillies entering the city.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Hao went to the palace to see Li Ke, and then returned to his own mansion. Several women in the house saw that Li Hao had brought back a few exotic women, and no one blamed Li Hao, which greatly surprised Li Hao.

"Now that the kids are older, they have their own living space. I decided that the few of us would go around the world together to see the outside world and taste the food outside, what did the ladies think of this? ”

After returning to Chang'an, Li Hao stayed here for a year with peace of mind, and then thought about going out again. At this time, the application of internal combustion engines in Datang has begun to be popularized on a large scale, and there is nothing he needs to care about on the imperial court, so Li Hao plans to go around the world.

"That's a good idea! I've wanted to visit the Americas and Oceanic for a long time. As soon as Li Hao's suggestion came out, it received an enthusiastic response from his wife. Now the women in the house are working together to write a travel and food book, called The World on the Tip of the Tongue, and all kinds of materials are needed to supplement it.

"That's good! I said hello to the emperor, and then we went on a trip around the world to taste all kinds of delicacies of the world. "On this trip, Li Hao and his women, not a single child was brought, and all of them were left in Chang'an. His children are relatively independent and can take care of themselves, and the younger ones are carried by the Wu family and Uncle Zhong, and this Li Hao can rest assured.

From the South Seas to Australia, they didn't miss the islands along the way, and they also saw a lot of exotic animals. Then there is Australia, which is now the granary and livestock warehouse of Datang, where most of Datang's beef and mutton come from, as well as dairy products.

After experiencing the style of Taiyang, they went to the Americas, and they did not miss the islands on the way, and even deliberately detoured and ran to the Hawaiian Islands for a while. Take a walk along the west coast of the Americas, cross the Panama Canal to the east coast of the Americas, and stop by several important places in North and South America to taste the food from the Americas.

Oceanic and American states are not developing slowly, but their populations are slightly smaller. I'm afraid it will take some time for this side to develop in an all-round way. After visiting Perfect Island, Li Hao prepared to take a boat across the Pacific Ocean, and then walked around the British Island in Europe, and then went south from here and returned to the Persian Gulf along the Cape of Good Hope.

Then go ashore from this side of the Persian Gulf and take a train, along the newly built Asian-African railway trunk line through the Arab world to Tianzhu, and then back to Chang'an from here. This walk, the time is three years, all the way, all the way to eat, all the way to see the scenery, stop and go. After arriving in Chang'an, Li Hao's eldest son was ready to get married.

"You guy, you have too much fun, I don't have to think about sitting in the palace. I just want to quit my seat and go around with you. When he returned to Chang'an, Li Ke met with Li Hao, and when he met, he was beaten up, blaming Li Hao for not taking him around.

Now there is no country in the whole earth except for the Tang Dynasty, and there is only one language on this planet, that is, Tang language, and everyone communicates in Tang language. The official language of Datang has also made some changes, no longer a mouthful of Guanzhong dialect, but all changed to Mandarin.

Coupled with the application of pinyin, this Tang language was quickly popularized in the world. In the past few years when Li Hao has gone out to play, Datang's various kinds have been vigorously developed for several years. After the crossing of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and the opening of the bridge, the railway line of the Bering Strait is now being conquered with all its might.

After this place is passed, the five states of Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States will be completely connected, and Datang will have a higher degree of control over these places. Coupled with the continuous development of various naval vessels and the beginning of the development of aircraft, these places will be easier to control in the future.

The original Shenzhou area has now slowly become a restricted place, except for the original residents, all people from other places who want to move here in the future must meet some conditions. For example, people who have invented and created, people who have made great contributions to the country, and those who are at the top of various industries, only these people can settle in the Shenzhou region.

This also means that the imperial court can control the core talents in its hands forever, and at the same time, it also increases the intention of some careerists to dominate a state and become king. In addition to these, the control of military power and the army has also been greatly increased by the imperial court, and the local governors are not in charge of the military at all.

These things are just a means of prevention, whether they can work or not depends on whether these people in the Tang Dynasty will make mistakes in the future. But this has little to do with Li Hao, he can only see these when he is alive, and when he is gone, what will become of these things, he himself can't say.

All he left was what he had come, he had seen, he had eaten, and then he had conquered!
