When Hormizd III returned to the resting place, Arhan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, according to the military system of the Great Jin, if the Great Jin launches a national mobilization, how many soldiers and horses can he recruit at least?" ”

Holmizd was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, I don't know the specific amount, but judging from the situation that everyone in the Great Jin has to receive military training, if the Great Jin faces a comprehensive threat, he can at least mobilize more than a million troops in a short time, and it is not without a weak army, because there are many military academies in the Great Jin, and they can make these people a well-trained army in the shortest possible time!" ”

"Hundred...... Million? This...... Isn't that scary? Arhan was surprised.

"It's nothing, if my Sassanid Dynasty is desperately recruited, it is estimated that I can make up enough numbers, but the combat strength is not flattering. The Great Jin Dynasty had a perfect military system, and their professional soldiers were all elite selected layer by layer, while the unsuccessful soldiers were arranged by the Great Jin into the reserve corps - the militia. ”

"These militiamen have to receive a certain amount of military training every year, and those who pass the training will not only be rewarded with money, but also enjoy tax incentives, which makes the training effect of the militia no worse than that of the government soldiers and the van army. Every year, the Xiang army and the government soldiers have to select the elite from the militia, because the Great Jin Dynasty adopts a policy of preferential treatment of soldiers, so that the military training in the Great Jin Dynasty is very good! ”

"With these conditions, it is not difficult for the Great Jin to arm a million-strong army, and the combat effectiveness of this million-strong army should not be underestimated!" Hormizd III explained with a serious face, the more he understood the Great Jin. The more he admired the Great Jin Emperor, because all the policies currently pursued by the Great Jin Dynasty were in the hands of this emperor.

"I see, Your Highness, what are we going to do next?"

"Doesn't it mean that Dajin advocates industrial and commercial development? Later, let's take a look at the Chang'an business district! ”

In the afternoon, after a short rest, Hormizd III went to the Chang'an business district, and since they lived a little far from the business district, they hired another carriage. The carriage quickly entered the commercial area, and as soon as it reached the entrance, it was stopped by the people on duty.

It turns out that there are too many people here. As a result, horse-drawn carriages had to be banned from entering the commercial area. It is also the world's first truly commercial 'pedestrian street'. When they reached the commercial street, Holmizd III and others finally understood why the four-wheeled carriage could not drive directly into the commercial street, there were too many people here.

Although the roads in Chang'an City are spacious enough, they are on this crowded street. The carriage could only move slowly. Sitting on it is simply looking for sin. It's better to walk.

Seeing this, Arhan was quite touched and said: "This Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is really a civil and military all-rounder, and from what he has learned in this short period of time, the other party has unique insights in both military and political aspects. The Great Jin Dynasty was also under his governance. In order to achieve revival in the shortest possible time! If His Highness can learn some experience from this and return to Persia in the future, maybe it will be of some help! ”

"Well, you're right, although some of the policies of the Great Jin Emperor seem a little incomprehensible and even a little unbelievable, but when you taste them carefully, they contain deep meaning." Holmizd III agreed.

"When the people are rich, the country is strong." Arhan then said leisurely: "In fact, this sentence often mentioned in the newspapers of the Great Jin Dynasty has profoundly explained everything in front of him. Saying that, Arhan took out a newspaper from his bosom like a trick, which was the "Luoyang Times" that was widely circulated in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although Arhan didn't know the man above, he still understood the content through the translation, only to see him point to a text that he had highlighted and said: "Your Royal Highness, you see, this is the content of the speech of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty at last year's cabinet meeting, and there is a passage that the minister thinks is particularly good, 'Hiding wealth from the people is far greater than hiding wealth from the treasury.'" Only when the people are rich can the country be truly strong, and can the historical tragedy of the country being strong for a while while the people were impoverished when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was avoided, and in the end, the country turned from prosperity to decline. ’”

"Alas, if the old king had recognized this problem, perhaps there would have been no tragedies that followed. When the old king was in office, it was the blind military expansion that led to the imbalance of domestic policy, which caused dissatisfaction among all forces, and finally even took him into it. ”

Hearing this, Hormizd III fell silent, and as he walked on the road made of cement, he could not help but feel the magic of the Orientals, and wondered how the other party invented cement as a building material. Through these investigations of time, he has long found that the roads within the Great Jin Dynasty are basically built of this material.

The concrete road is not only extremely smooth, but also durable, and on both sides of the street are houses of roughly the same style, all of which have been leased by the government to merchants, and at first glance they look neat and not dull.

The two of them turned into the new Chang'an city, which was a bazaar, so there were more people here, and there were all kinds of people, and they even found that they were not the only Persians. The whole Nancheng Bazaar is shaped into a field, and the following is divided into hundreds of Tianzi roads to form the structure of Tianzi, and the shops on the roadside constitute the content of Tianzi.

The shops are just built with high scaffolding, and the roof is tiled to shelter from the sun and rain, and the shops are separated into one stall, much like the farmers' markets in later generations.

In addition to the people, there are a variety of goods in the bazaar: jade from the Western Regions, woolen fabrics from Hebei, rare and exotic fruits from the South Seas, furs, horns, jade from the north and Xiqiang, as well as fragrant wood, silk, tea, and porcelain from all over the world, all of which are placed on the shelves of the shops in the bazaar, which can be seen clearly at a glance.

And the bazaar is very clearly divided, the area where silk is sold is silk, and the area where tea is sold is tea is sold, and the merchants stand beside the shelves and shout enthusiastically to the passers-by.

Hormizd III pointed to the bazaar, which was full of people and goods. Said to Arhan leisurely: "I'm afraid all the wealth of the world is here." Arhan's face couldn't help but change drastically, and his expression became extremely solemn.

At this time, Arkhand saw several Persian-looking merchants walking by, and he couldn't help but pretend to cry out: "Are you also from Persia?" ”

Arhan's voice was so loud that several Persian merchants who had just passed by heard it at once, and they all turned their heads to look this way. As soon as Arhan saw that he had attracted the attention of the other party, he hurried over and shouted in Persian to the people opposite: "We are also the Persian state!" ”

In the far east, the sudden sight of a few fellow villagers made these Persians excited at once. The people on both sides quickly became acquainted, and after the previous people learned that Arhan came to Dajin for the first time, they enthusiastically introduced various 'rules' to him. At this time, Hormizd III was very consciously hidden behind the scenes.

"Did you also come to Dajin by land?" Several Persian merchants inquired enthusiastically about Alkhandau.

"yes, what? Is there anything wrong? ”

"Oh, that's so bad, it's better to take the sea route."

"That is, as all Persians, don't blame us for not reminding you that if you are ready to return to China in the future, it is best to spend two dollars to catch a Great Jin fleet to the Western Ocean. In doing so, it will not only avoid being taxed by the countries of the Western Regions, but will also be able to load more goods. ”

"Moreover, let us tell you another secret, it is said that the Great Jin will use force against the Western Regions in the short term, so it will become very unsafe to return to China by land. In the chaos of war, how many guards do you have is not enough!? Those horse thieves roaming the Western Regions are even more powerful than some regular armies! ”

"Then Da Jin doesn't care?" Arhan asked, pretending not to understand anything.

"Manage, it doesn't matter, but how can it be managed. Those horse thieves are basically composed of some Xianbei and Huns, who have a deep blood feud with the Jin people, and they have the support of the Western Regions countries behind them, so although the Great Jin has encircled and suppressed each other many times, they can't eradicate it! ”

"Besides, there are taxes to be paid in the Western Regions, and they are very heavy taxes, and there are many bandits on the road, and hundreds or thousands of local guards can't stop them. However, after the Great Jin Dynasty recovers the Western Regions next year, this situation can be completely changed, because the entire Great Jin is not only very safe, but also can be unimpeded as long as you pay taxes once. This is also the reason why the commerce of Dajin is so developed, and many businessmen are willing to come to Dajin! ”

After a few conversations, they met again in the evening and then separated, after all, everyone has their own personal affairs to do. After walking around the bazaar for a while, Hormizd III squeezed out of the bazaar, and everyone was sweating, but everyone felt that they were still unsatisfied, because it was too lively and there were too many things. After seeing it, everyone knew that there were so many strange things in the world, and they had also seen people from many countries and nationalities.

While there was a lot of talk, Hormizd III noticed a strange phenomenon in the streets outside the bazaar, where several people in robes were very popular whenever they walked to a place where there were many people.

When they came to a house, the host respectfully greeted them, and then they talked cordially for a while, and then left the happy face of the host and walked away to the next house.

Arhan, who was already familiar with the situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, introduced: "These are the Taoist leaders and real people of the Great Jin Lingbao Sect. ”

Holmizd III nodded and looked at it for a while before signaling to continue, he understood that the Lingbao Sect was the only religion officially supported by the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was also the largest religious force within the Great Jin Dynasty.

Seeing this, Hormizd III was reminded of the confusion of religion in Persia, which also explained the chaos in Persia to a certain extent. In the original history, it was Shapur II who completed the task of unifying the Persian religion, but now he is only a child of less than three years old. (To be continued......)
