1043, the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of Westerners (4)

"If I could live in China, I would definitely try Chinese food first. The food here is really so attractive, I am used to eating Oriental Chinese food, and I can't eat that 'garbage' when I return to my motherland. I hate to admit it, but Chinese food is very delicious, so I don't want to go back. Since the last time I went to eat at Tian Tian Diet, I feel like I've fallen in love with this Orient, especially the food! Someone said excitedly.

It has to be said that Chinese cuisine is very attractive no matter what era it is. Especially Jingwen took the initiative to get out the major cuisines of later generations, which really detonated the taste buds of many people. And since the advent of daily eating, the entire Chinese food culture has been matured for hundreds of years. Stimulated by the daily diet, countless restaurants and inns have also begun to develop new dishes, if new dishes are not developed, then in the end they can only be robbed of the market by the daily diet, and finally cannot survive. Therefore, under the persecution of this kind of people, there are more and more new dishes, so that the taste buds of the people can enjoy all kinds of delicious foods in advance. As for Westerners, that's even more so, they come to China and the first thing they do is get hooked on Eastern food.

"Yes! Not only does the East have good food, but it's also much cleaner and tidy. In our Rome, even the streets of Constantinople are littered with unclean garbage. And it's very nice here, there is no garbage on the streets, and the feces of every household are specially cleaned and collected, which never makes the whole city stink. In addition, this Chang'an City is very neat, very organized, and boxy with great beauty. Even if the city continues to expand here, there will be no chaos at all, and the city management ability of the East is too good. It must be very comfortable to stay here. ”

And the businessman also talked about one of the characteristics of China, that foreign ideas about urban planning were actually formed after the seventeenth century. However, as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, China had corresponding urban planning thinking. And many dynasties when building cities. There will be relevant plans, and the government will also carry out planning and management, so the city is not chaotic at all. All kinds of urban living facilities are planned, which is naturally very neat and tidy. This is one of the most important reasons why China can manage cities with more than a million people, because they can plan. Because of his good at planning cities, this led to the emergence of China's first city with a population of more than one million, which is definitely not a coincidence and accident, it is absolutely inevitable. At this time, the West did not have the thinking of planning cities, so every qiē city was chaotic. Such chaotic management puts a lot of pressure on the government. On the contrary, the cost of official management has increased dramatically, and the result is half the time. Dongfang is the opposite, thinking that you have planned a qiē, so it is easier to manage with half the effort, so that they can solve all kinds of things very smoothly.

Caesar went on to say, "If I could spend a few years doing business back and forth several times, I would have made enough money for a lifetime." As for the future, when I am old and can't run, then I also plan to retire in the East. Then buy some land and get a manor to be a manor. Of course. I also want to marry a Chinese beauty, who is much more beautiful than us Western women. ”

I have to say that these Westerners have regarded Datang as the first choice for future retirement. Datang has all kinds of living facilities, as long as you have money, all kinds of life are generally not a problem. And the Oriental beauties are also more beautiful than many Western women. Of course. This is also relative, after all, they usually see the same people in the West, so naturally they are aesthetically fatigued, and they feel that Oriental beauties are more beautiful. Just like in later generations, many Chinese also think that Western beauties are also very good. I feel like Western beauties are prettier. In fact, this is the cause of aesthetic fatigue, and Westerners naturally have this kind of thought. So they all want to marry an oriental beauty, so that they can be happy!

"And. The East allows men to have more than one woman at the same time, so ......" Caesar made a look that all men understood.

Everyone understands that it is the dream of all men to be able to legally own many women. And now the most civilized and powerful country in the West is Rome, and the predecessor of the Eastern Roman Empire was the ancient Roman era, when the monogamous system was actually stipulated long ago. And at that time, ancient Rome began in the republican era, that is, the law provided for the sacred marriage of monogamy, and even the institution of divorce. Although many powerful people at that time also openly took concubines, in fact, these concubines were not protected by the law. There are even quite a few people who have affection. people, but there is nothing legally protective of these.

But the East is different, although the protection of concubines in the East is not high in many cases, or even just a layer of paper, but no matter how bad the law is, it protects the wild and the wild. With legal protection, both men and women can rest assured. So these Romans can only be monogamous in Rome, no matter how amorous they are. No one can be considered legitimate. The East is different, although the law on the protection of concubines in the East is not perfect, but it has a certain amount of protection. This makes these merchants from the Eastern Roman Empire also envious, after all, with legal protection, it means that they can also take concubines reasonably and legally, and they will not be afraid of when they will be arrested and taken to the legal department for questioning and accountability.

"Yes! It's great here, if I make enough money, then I will definitely come to the East to retire. Even I hope that my children and grandchildren will live forever in this land and be rich forever. ”

These Westerners don't have any concept of a nation-state. These people can come all the way to China, so naturally it is for the sake of profit, anyway, this kind of person is also a mother with milk, and rarely goes back. Even the people of later generations want to live in a rich country, so that they can enjoy abundance! It is human nature to yearn for abundance, and no one can refute it. Therefore, these Westerners also want to live in the East, as long as they earn enough money, they can also come to Datang to live, and even want their descendants to live here forever.
