Chapter 65 Report from the Twenty-first Century
"As we all know, the rise of the Chinese Empire is www.biquge.info from the first generation of Taizong Emperor Li Shimin, if you return to Chang'an in the early years of Zhenguan, the first thing that surprises you is that in the bustling crowd on Zhuque Street, from time to time there are "red hair and green eyes" white people and "curly hair and black body" black people appear, they are comfortable, or hurried, but everyone is a peace of mind expression.
Although we have not made specific statistics, according to the memoirs of Mr. Xu Yang, the pioneer of the empire, in his later years, we can vaguely know that Chang'an's foreign population density at that time was about the same as how you feel when walking on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai now.
That is to say, as early as the seventh century AD, Chang'an had become one of the few international metropolises. The internationality of Chang'an is based on the openness of the entire empire.
If a country dares to open its heart and welcome visitors from all over the world, it must first have a stable domestic environment. The second is to have a prosperous economy and a strong comprehensive national strength, although our Chinese empire has always been the most powerful country in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength, but do not forget that at that time, China had just undergone a change of dynasty, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality, and it was able to resume production in such a short period of time and develop rapidly, which is a miracle in the history of world development. The third is to have well-developed transportation. The fourth is to have an open, inclusive and confident attitude.
It can be said that during the period of Taizong Li Shimin, the Central Plains regime gradually gathered these four conditions.
Datang not only has a unique city in the world, but also has an education system that matches this city of the century, of course, this is also the point that our people of the Tang Empire are most proud of, that is, Nanshan Academy.
Nanshan Academy has a history of more than 1,370 years, is a miracle in the history of world education, since the establishment of Zhenguan three years, to the present 2013 AD, whether it is historical replacement, or war and rebellion, this academy still maintains a good operation, but also provides generation after generation of talents in the history of our Chinese Empire, is the oldest in the history of the world, the most profound, the longest history of an educational paradise.
Whether it is the cradle of the "second industry", or the "pen qu pavilion www.biquge.info of optoelectronic technology", Nanshan Academy has always brought surprises to the world, and many great people in Chinese history have also graduated from this school, such as the grassroots prime minister Zhu Yuanzhang, the foreign minister Zeng Guofan, the commander of the naval division of the United States Li Hongzhang, and so on, these great people, they all graduated from this school.
Nanshan Academy, in the millennium, has continuously provided China with top talents in politics, business, culture and science, and the students who graduated from the academy have all become the mainstay of society without exception, and are also the elites in various industries.
This year is also the 1370th anniversary of the birth of Nanshan Academy, and there are many Chinese returning from overseas, all of whom have graduated from this alma mater and will now return to participate in the celebration of their alma mater.
Today we live in the country with the most extensive land territory on the earth, we have one hundred and twelve nationalities, but we are still united as a family, the Chinese Empire has the most developed transportation network in the world, in fact, as early as the pioneer Xu Yang era, the Tang Dynasty began to plan, purposefully began to build new railway trunk lines, the use of steam locomotives in transportation and transmission.
We habitually call it the "first industrial ** era", the specific appearance time of the steam engine can not be verified, but according to the records in the "Tang Dynasty Historical Records", we have reason to believe that the steam engine was invented by the pioneer Xu Yang's Guiguzi, we have to admire, that is said to be a reclusive overseas Guigu family, what kind of imagination they have applied to the invention and creation.
Even in foreign countries, the Guiguzi clan also enjoys a high reputation, but for the ownership of Guigugu and the ownership of the location, some small countries do not measure themselves, and frequently publish reports such as "Guiguzi is Korean" in domestic newspapers and periodicals, I have to say that this is an expression of extreme inferiority and ignorance.
According to the pioneer Mr. Xu Yang's self-description in his later years, it is clearly written in the "Book of Ghost Valley": "Studying in the Ghost Valley, overseas as a stranger, crossing thousands of miles by boat, landing on the island, observing people with curly hair and black bodies, wild and unbearable, the ancestor felt that God had the virtue of a good life, so he settled here." These words fully explain that the place where Guiguzi settled overseas is either South America or Africa, and we reserve the right to appeal to the United Nations against the ugly behavior of certain countries in infringing on the great men of other countries and putting gold on their faces.
This year is also the 1370th anniversary of the Great Geographical Discovery of the Tang Dynasty, and on June 5 this year, all the colonies of the Tang Dynasty in the world will hold a grand celebration ceremony.
More than 1,300 years ago, the Tang people began overseas exploration, with the invention of the compass, the steam engine, the ocean has become a reality, the pioneer Xu Yang made a bold decision, that is, to lead the Tang Dynasty navy to overseas in search of high-yield crops.
Although we cannot know why the pioneer Xu Yang knew that there were high-yield crops overseas, this does not prevent us from admiring Guigu's brilliant foresight and profound insight.
As early as 1,300 years ago, the living standards of the Tang people were obviously not comparable with modern people, according to the exploration and research of historians, a famine during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains also starved to death more than 9,000 people, this is only recorded, those who have not been recorded, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people.
It may be that modern people do not have an intuitive feeling of starvation, but everyone must understand that when there are still people starving to death in society, the total output of food must be insufficient.
Stepping into the 21st century, the improved hybrid rice of Yuan Longping, the dean of the Agricultural College of Nanshan Academy, has been able to yield 1,000 catties per mu, but in the Tang Dynasty, the yield of an acre of rice in the bad season may only be a few tens of catties.
Based on this situation, Guigu Xuyang innovatively proposed to Taizong Li Shimin that he must build sea ships to retrieve high-yield crops overseas, so that the people of Datang will no longer starve.
Taizong also readily agreed, that is, since then, my Chinese empire has ushered in the period of geographical discovery, and now Taicang Wharf has been built into a huge museum, generation after generation of newer sea ships are impressively listed, and even we can see from the museum the earliest generation of sea ships that crossed Chongyang, named "Hongyun" Fu Ship Battleship, so we can also get a glimpse of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of life those soldiers who rode the wind and waves.
Now Australia is the most strategic and ruling overseas base of the Chinese Empire, where there is the headquarters of the Strategic Command of the Chinese Empire, and there are millions of Chinese people living a relaxed and happy life on the huge Australian island.
In accordance with the requirements of the World Joint Organization, the latest round of arms reductions has begun, and the number of China's ancient "chengguan" troops has long disappeared, and now there are only second, third and fourth artillery, as well as special brigades.
According to the "World Nuclear Weapons Convention" and the "World Laser Weapons Convention," the 300 nuclear warheads and dozens of laser missiles equipped with the Second and Third Artillery Corps have been destroyed, and the Chinese Empire will take the next step to reduce its armaments, and become the only superpower leader in the world to lead the world to peace.
The Chinese people are against war and love peace, we are not afraid of war, we have the longest history in the world, and we also have the most advanced science and technology in the world, but we are still a country of etiquette, and we will not invade other countries like Germany during World War II, because it has the most powerful armed forces in Europe............
