Chapter 669: Sending Song Envoys

On the streets, people come and go, traffic is endless, and the wide and straight avenues are lined with pedestrians walking in an orderly manner. The shops on both sides are filled with dense goods. There are shops selling fabrics, confectionery, grain and oil shops, restaurants and restaurants, and some shops selling overseas goods.

Olive oil from Europe, wine, spices, honey, carpets, leather and other goods from North Africa, as well as Southeast Asia, the South Asian subcontinent. An abundance of goods, and even a diverse range of merchants, fill the bustling streets. So that there is a kind of 'all countries come to court' atmosphere, the Tang people in the past hold their heads high, crowns and big sleeves, and the instruments are extraordinary. Regardless of men, women and children, there are swords on their waists, and the martial style is deeply rooted in the bones of this nation. They always obeyed the 'Hadith' and never forgot the difficulties of pioneering.

Judging from the picture alone, a strong 'wind of the Tang Dynasty' is blowing in the face, which makes the foreign businessmen who have ancestors in the family who have been to the Tang Dynasty quite emotional. The descendants of the Tang Dynasty reopened the country and became hegemonic in a foreign land, dominating one side, and no one underestimated them. Naturally, their descendants also inherited the spirit and open-mindedness of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang people did not feel anything about foreigners coming to their land to settle down and do business, but felt that it was precisely because of the arrival of these merchants that they proved their own strength. Whether it is merchants from far away in Central Asia, or white people on the continent of Europa, even the once hostile cannibals have merchants who have traveled thousands of miles. Sell the goods produced in their land, and even the land of the good war Maralai Tang people. There are also merchants who bring all kinds of specialties from foreign continents, including livestock and beasts, to the land of the Tang people. Therefore, the impression given to the outside world here is that there are opportunities and business opportunities everywhere.

The prosperity of maritime trade has made the economic strength of the Tang people and the overall national strength continue to rise bit by bit every day. Their national taxes were very rich, and after the abundant national taxes came up, there were special caravans organized by the government to go to foreign countries to purchase grain, iron, copper and other materials. Some of them are stored and some of them are put on the market.

Probably due to the situation of being a slave back then, there was not enough food and clothing every day, and after the founding of the country again, the Tang people's sense of distress was greater than ever. Even though they have a very abundant annual grain harvest, the government still keeps storing food. If you can't eat enough, you can use it to raise livestock on a large scale, so that everyone is fed, everyone is warm, and everyone has meat to eat, which has already been realized.

And the affluence in life also made the Tang people have no worries at all, so the wind of literature prevailed. Especially in the past few decades, a large number of poets, writers, calligraphers and painters have emerged among the Tang people. Their works are generous and impassioned, and they are full of pride. Their appearance in large numbers has led to a series of cultural industry chains, and various operas, operas, and art performances have emerged in large numbers. enriched the spiritual entertainment of the Tang people, and the whole society not only did not fall into drunkenness, but became more and more energetic.

Externally, they dominate one side and are rarely invincible. Internally, they are modest, polite and courteous, and the etiquette that was lost back then has been picked up again after nearly more than 100 years of Chengping development, and it is different from the Central Plains. This stems from their environment and geography, and not only that, but in the past few decades, the Tang people have even organized a visit to return to the Central Plains. It's a pity that they didn't see the land of China that was unified again, but the five dynasties and ten kingdoms that were in chaos.

Although the Tang people were disappointed by this, the Central Plains in the chaos was full of interest in the descendants of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty. They all sent invitations to the Tang envoys who were stranded in the Central Plains and were extremely confused. Ask them about the situation in foreign lands, and ask about their situation during the hundreds of years since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, etc. The Tang people replied 1510, and when it came to being a slave for hundreds of years, every separatist was indignant. But other than that, there is no other indication. And when they heard that they were rescued by a wise and martial leader, who had advanced to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and then swept away the Great Food and went to the founding of the country, everyone expressed great surprise. And for a leader who has such courage to defeat the backbone of the Great Cannibal is extremely curious.

And the Tang missions, when they talked about their founding monarchs, were naturally vigorously touted. The direct blowing is like the emperor of heaven, and the immortal is entrusted to the world, which makes the Central Plains have an extremely strong curiosity about the monarch in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he also maintained a considerable degree of vigilance against the Tang people, for fear that these Tang people who had wandered in foreign lands would return to the Central Plains again, which would be another powerful enemy. Therefore, the separatist forces with a strong 'feeling of the kingdom' have wantonly divided the Tang people one after another, in order to show their 'magnanimity of the kingdom' and wantonly reward a lot of money, cloth, jade and other things, so as to draw a clear line. The Tang people naturally knew very well that this tone of the Central Plains Dynasty also lamented the alienation of their homeland family.

After a period of stay in the Central Plains, the Tang missions began to travel back and forth, and in the following days, the Tang people learned from the Great Cannibals that the Central Plains were once again unified and a state called 'Song' was established. The Tang people were naturally ecstatic about the reunification of their chaotic homeland, so with the approval of the current monarch, another large number of missions were established, starting from Egypt under the control of the Great Cannibals, relying on the assistance of their own sorcerers, to transport sea ships to the Red Sea through magic. After that, the huge group of envoys sailed along the Red Sea, through the South Asian continental line, across the Strait of Malacca, and finally landed at a southern Chinese port.

Once ashore, inform the local officials of your intentions. When the local officials learned that the huge envoy group in front of them were the remnants of the Tang people who had come to the Central Plains, they were very surprised. Then, a sense of superiority of the Heavenly Empire suddenly rose, and then swelled. However, the officials were still very polite to the foreign envoys who came for the first time, and informed the imperial court of the news of the Tang envoys with the mentality of 'eight hundred miles expedited'. After that, the Tang people sailed along the continental line, landed at 'Suzhou', and then came to Kaifeng, the capital of the Empire, where they were warmly welcomed by Zhao Guangyi.

And the Tang people naturally don't care about the canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty, their strength is not bad, they are regional hegemons, and they are also a number of powerful countries even in the vast world. Therefore, the Tang delegation extended warm greetings from the Tang monarchs to Zhao Guangyi, congratulated them on their reunification, and handed over their credentials and gifts. The letter of state reads the congratulations and greetings of the contemporary monarch to the Central Plains court. The accompanying national gifts contain the history of the Tang people's founding in a foreign land over the years, humanities, traditions, poetry and opera, forged weapons and armor, and many other aspects. The purpose is naturally to show the Central Plains court that they have no intention of returning to the Central Plains to compete for the right to rule, and the other purpose is to show that our little life is better than yours, and there is no need to be wary of us.

The Central Plains Imperial Court was full of contempt when they learned of the land they lived in. And when they knew the national strength of the Tang people, they were extremely surprised in their hearts. Especially the results of the development of the Tang people, after comparison, even if they are inferior to them in some places, they are far superior to them in some places. In particular, the country's armament is very powerful, quite a legacy of the Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, there is no shortage of good horses in this country, and it can be said that there are good horses everywhere, and the culture of raising livestock and war horses is so strong that it is like eating and drinking. And the cost of raising horses is very large, and it can also be used to spy on the national strength of a country.

And for them, an island nation with such a narrow land area can raise so many good horses and maintain a standing army of tens of thousands. This was very touching to them, and they were even more stunned when they learned that they had a population of nearly 10 million, that everyone in the country could read and write, and read an article.

The Datong society that the sage spoke of is nothing more than that!
