The reason why Rome is great is that Rome has created an exportable culture, which can quickly assimilate the conquered regions and copy Rome little by little, which has led to the huge empire that spanned Europe, Asia and Africa and influenced the West for thousands of years.

Today, Fujian is following in the footsteps of ancient Rome.

In the north of Tianzhu, now the largest project in Fujian is to build roads, from the Bay of Bengal to the new Suzhou began to spread, millions of Tianzhu people were mobilized, really from Byzantium hired dozens of civil engineers, the use of lime to burn cement, straight trade road quickly spread in this thousand-year-old country, and even deepened, communicating the ancient flood of the Indochina Peninsula, extending to the territory of Lingnan.

The ancient Tea Horse Road, the emerging Maritime Silk Road, and the stretching roads made the rule of Fujian more solid, grasped the two major sea trade routes, and brought countless wealth to Fujian.

The unobstructed territory is one aspect, the other aspect is the spread of culture, this year Datang can run a large number of businesses, the eight layers are families, after all, small businessmen are impossible to have such a large capital and so many contacts, political exchanges, a large number of Datang family factions from all over the country to Li Jie, was sealed in the newly collected Tianzhu places, in the trade, more scholars have also come to Tianzhu, their arrival, spread the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

Leaving Qunu City, arrived at Kangcheng, the northernmost part of the current territory, and sat on the newly opened West Qin Tower, Qin Qing's girl went to check the accounts happily, and Li Jie was drinking while looking at the lively street with interest.

This is the junction with the Punjab of the Indus Valley, and the Central Asian merchants who enter and exit have to pass through here, so in front of the city gate of Cannes, a huge customs gatehouse was built, and there were six entry and exit windows in a row.

It is worth mentioning that the speed of the two leftmost windows is always much faster than the rest of the windows, and you can also see an interesting scene when you walk in, the Persian merchants, the big food merchants, and even the Greeks and Romans speak an awkward Tang language, but they are extremely arrogant, and they are slowly handling the customs clearance and paying fees, while the toll collector in front of the window is full of smiles.

The Tang people have passed half a layer of tariff reduction, and the service speed is extremely fast, the service of the Fujian tax officials are all smiling faces, and even beautiful women run before and after, unlike other Sanskrit entry and exit windows, slow work, ugly faces, they take the list everywhere, and they have to spend more money, how do they feel short.

As for how to become a Don? Simple, as long as you memorize the Analects and pass the exam, there are other benefits to becoming a Tang person, the police are given priority to find things when they lose things, and being an official is also faster than a Sanskrit official to be promoted, and they get a lot of money, in short, the benefits are great.

For this article, therefore, under the Xiqin floor where Li Jie stayed, a large group of resting merchants, the children of local Kshatriya nobles, in short, there was no foreigner who looked like a Tang Dynasty shook his head and recited his face with a bitter face, saying: Learn and learn from time to time, and be happy. The appearance of shaking his head has a unique interest.

Nowadays, Tang costumes, Tang language, and Tang culture have become a fashion in Tianzhu, and in Li Jiele's wine tasting, two black Tianzhu scholars on the street are wearing long Tang costumes, and they are leisurely singing loudly: "Cannes Fengyue is a different show, shoulder to shoulder, Brother Amulai, good poetry, good poetry." ”

"Poof~" The eldest grandson weaving who was sitting opposite almost threw away the wine jug, holding it, covering his little belly without a trace of fat, and the tears of laughter flowed down.

"Haha, this is also called a good poem, and the Tianzhu people are too thick-skinned, right? Laughed at me. ”

"You'd be wrong." Although the elegant appearance of a pair of Tianzhu vassals is very interesting, Li Jie shook his head and shook his head seriously and said: "Luo'er, you are wrong, no matter when, if you admire my Great Heavenly Dynasty, you should be rewarded, black tooth Changzhi, write down the names of those two Tianzhu scholars, and when you take the imperial examination next year, you will get extra points." ”

"Does this add points?" His eyes widened, and he looked at the black-toothed Chang Zhi who also went downstairs with a helpless face, and Changsun Zhi was really speechless, and he drew a middle finger to Li Jie depressedly: "Lang Jun, you are really spreading Tang Hua and enchanting you." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Li Jie was so happy that he took it with a smile on his face.

Whether it is Tianzhu, Southeast Asia, or the Indochina Peninsula, even these places in Lingnan belong to the land of foreign people to Fujian, and the people of foreign races are actually more than ten times more than the Tang people, and even Lingnan rules these places, either practicing racial segregation like the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms, or turning the people in the vast occupied areas into Tang people.

The failure of the former is already known in history, none of the sixteen countries has been more than fifty years, even the later Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou have to change themselves, and Sinicized themselves before they set up a difficult foothold in the Central Plains, and the example of the latter is Rome, from a small city republic by the Tiber River, to a huge empire that swallowed the Mediterranean, and of course the Fujian State had to follow the successful plan.

Li Jie's current attempt is to turn the Tang culture into an exportable and tolerant culture, fortunately, this era is the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, which is heroic and tolerant of all things, if it changes the stingy atmosphere of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, it is really not easy to transform the output.

Under the premise that all religions in Fujian are not allowed to overpower the government, faith is free, and there is no limit to the type of belief, and now there are scholars from the Tang Dynasty who joined Brahmanism under curiosity, and believed in Tianzhu Theravada Buddhism, similarly, while believing in Brahmanism, many Tianzhu elites are also very interested in Taoism and Confucianism.

In order to cater to the believers of the Tang Dynasty, the Brahmins also began to use the Tang language in their sermons, and in just a few months, Tianzhu and the Tang Dynasty exchanged ideas violently, showing an incomparably prosperous state.

Especially when I saw a group of gossip news tabloid reporters surrounding, the two Tianzhu scholars were stupidly happy, and Li Jie was even more happy, he just wanted to make Datang culture a fashion.

Just when Li Jie was complacent, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves downstairs, and the eight cavalrymen were hunting with flags behind them, dazzlingly red, and on the streets, whether they were scholars or wealthy businessmen and nobles, they had to quickly dodge, this was an emergency military situation, and they deserved to be trampled to death by horses.

After a while, the sweaty knight climbed the stairs with a hot body, and knelt heavily on one knee: "King Qimin, the barbarian kings of Punjab have arrived at the military camp outside the city, General Xi Junmai invites His Royal Highness to come and preside over the alliance." ”

"I can't eat it." Leaving the curry Chang'an roast duck under the cultural exchange, Li Jie took advantage of the laziness and waved his hand directly: "Lao Su, go and prepare, let's go." ”

"Whoa!" Answering cleanly, Su Dingfang didn't drag the mud and water, went downstairs with a sonorous vibration in the armor, stood up and stretched out his hand elegantly, Li Jie smiled and said: "Beautiful queen, please go hand in hand with Xiaosheng." ”

"Four." A coquettish big white eye rolled over, but the eldest grandson still shook off the splitting veil and put the white and tender little hand in Li Jie's hand.

The two of them had just boarded the car embroidered with affection, and Leng Buding remembered the sad cry behind him: "Hey, wait for me!" ”

Throwing down a table of ledgers, her hair was messy, Qin Qing hurriedly chased after her in a daze, looking at her sloppy appearance, Li Jie couldn't help but cover his head helplessly: "Hey~ Shame!" ”

Fortunately, Wang Jia was properly prepared, the makeup box and jewelry box were readily available, and when he arrived at the meeting place, Qin Qing had already become the same as the eldest grandson, with a long phoenix robe and neat pan head swaying to show his luxury.

The location of the alliance was set up in the Tang army camp outside the city of Cannes, on a plain fortress not far from the city, at this time, the kings of Punjab had arrived early, and they were waiting at the fortress, and the Tang army barracks fortress was also eyeing the tiger, no matter how they called the door.

"Damn the Tang people, King Min, told me to wait for the alliance, but he didn't show up, playing with our many kingdoms!"

The southern part of Punjab is fertile, the north is mountainous and produces excellent iron ore, the closest to West Asia, the most vulnerable to foreign invasion, so the huge Punjab power is also the most complex, the banks of the Indus River, actually divided into dozens of tribal cities and small countries, the remnants of the Kushan Dynasty, the nomads of Central Asia, the local peoples, and even the Greek tribes left by Alexander the Great's crusade to the east are everything.

The first to be dissatisfied was a steppe barbarian king, full of annoyance, this five big and three thick, wearing a leather vest in winter, exposing a plush chest and strong chest muscles, Tocharian thundered at the fortress and shouted: "If the king of Bird Min doesn't come out to greet him, Lao Tzu will go in by himself." ”

The leaders of the other tribes were also mostly unruly, and they also clamoured when they heard the rumors, but at this moment, a trumpet suddenly sounded, and then the rumbling military drums were violently built, and the sound of tidal footsteps came from the fortress under the bewildered left and right of a group of Punjabi princes, and after a while, the gate that could not be opened by any shout was suddenly opened, and the steps were neat, and tens of thousands of cavalry, infantry and infantry rushed out of it, and there were even a dozen war elephants.

Carrying a long lance, under the leadership of two partial generals, the Tang army quickly formed a circle, surrounding this group of Punjabi princes in the center, each Tang army is tall and big, especially the neatly inlaid iron infantry armor worn all over the body, which makes the Tang army in this area look like a steel beast from the wilderness.

The princes of Punjab either didn't bring troops, more than one or two thousand, less than one or two hundred, or wearing leather robes, or old leather armor, looking at the Tang army around the stubborn and heroic appearance, all the princes couldn't help but get nervous, even the local tyrant barbarian king who had just shouted to enter was wilted at this time, nervously shouted in Sanskrit: "What are you going to do, we are the guests invited by your King of Min, is this how the Tang people entertain guests?" ”

"King Min has arrived!"

At this time, the long eunuch shrill voice sounded, and the princes of Punjab, who were still in a mess just now, couldn't help but look at them neatly, under the sunlight, under the neat dark cavalry formation, a giant elephant carrying the golden elephant tower walked slowly with heavy steps, and a man, two women, three Tang people in gorgeous and majestic clothes sat in the elephant tower.

Looking at a group of uproaring Punjabi princes either bowing nervously or simply kneeling on the ground, Li Jie couldn't help but laugh and patted the elephant's head happily: "Good girl, this is really a pretending artifact!" ”。
