Chapter 829: The Monarch Who Plans for a Rainy Day

The banquet in the evening was undoubtedly a success, or rather, unprecedented.

With such a precedent as Eswell, the latecomers after me may no longer be able to enjoy such treatment as Eswell. As the first elf to come to the Old World, he enjoyed a privilege that no one else could enjoy again. And his arrival is destined to be recorded in the books of history by human civilization, for future generations to read and read, and then learn that the first spirit to come to the old world is called Eswell. If in the future, after Eswell's more brilliant achievements, then correspondingly, his record in human history will become greater and more famous. It is not just a brief introduction in a few words, but on the contrary, it may be a large introduction to the flowers, and it will be quite highly praised.

But these are only things in the future, and they are still far away from today. At the banquet, Eswell got acquainted with the so-called high society of the Tang people, merchants from the wealthy side of the capital, officials of the army and navy, and administrative officials of this very small province. There were also many nobles, who brought their wives and daughters to the banquet and saw the elves.

The banquet was a success, and the scale of the banquet was arguably the largest in Gibraltar, the smallest province. At the banquet, Acewell introduced all aspects of the elves, and in the same way he got all aspects of them from the Tang people present. The two sides satisfied each other's curiosity, and at this time, the latest will from the Tang people also came.

When the Tang royal family and the cabinet government learned that an expedition ship sent out a few months ago to explore the new world and new routes was unfavorable, and all of them died. The hearts of the Tang royal family and the cabinet government are really difficult to describe in words. A few months ago, they were ambitious and determined to join the new world and join the tide of the times. Who knows, a few months later, the unfortunate bad news came.

The young Tang Huang, the first time he knew about it, his face was really hot. After all, it was his final decision to participate in the exploration and navigation of the new world. However, the scene of all the people being killed was tantamount to a few slaps on the cheek. What does this mean, and how should the opposing courtiers talk about him behind their backs? In any case, this bad start was a heavy blow to the prestige of the young Tang Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the news that the peaks and turns and the death of all the staff were not brought by the surviving crew. It was brought back by a seething elf that had been spread in the Old World years ago. This surprised Tang Huang very much, and then he was very interested and took this opportunity to make up for his previous loss of prestige. Moreover, he is also secretly fueling the troubles, so that the news of the elves can spread throughout his land and the entire Western world as quickly as possible! Moreover, it will also spread to the wider eastern world.

Although the first time he went out to explore, he was hit hard, but the arrival of the elves could take this opportunity to make his reputation reach a new height in one fell swoop. What does this mean?

The European countries, participating in the Great Voyage and opening up a new world, the ultimate goal is to find the elves. In the absence of the elves, the goal was to find a new route to China. Although China did not find it, they found the more famous elves, and compared with ancient China, the more mysterious elven civilization is obviously more mysterious and attractive.

With the craze for the search for elves, and the European countries eventually used this craze to set off the mystery of the New World. At this point, the old world knew that there was a new world that was even broader in the vast ocean. The land there is full of wealth, full of new species, and the rumors of many people getting rich overnight have spread through the old world in a very short time. Therefore, it was a unique era that truly belonged to the Great Voyage.

Not only does it bring wealth, but it also brings about change!

Tang Huang obviously hit the elves with his idea, the sailors who had found the elves before, and their return voyage not only brought news from the elves and goods from the elves. It also brings immeasurable prestige to the host country, which is an intangible wealth. The slight contraction of the Mediterranean trade circle in recent years shows that too many merchants have placed their trade in other ports. Rather than continuing to choose to trade in the native ports of the Tang people, it can be seen.

Although these are trivial matters, if this goes on for a long time, it will only be a matter of time before the economic and trade around the Tang people weakens. Over the past few hundred years, the Tang people, whether they are emperors or officials and ordinary people, have long been accustomed to the economic exchanges that have been carried out around them. With this and the great advantage of controlling Suez and the whole of Egypt, the Tang people have accumulated countless riches and unimaginably huge wealth.

Once their trade dominance and the weakening of the Mediterranean economic circle will bring about the consequences, it will be a chain reaction, which will affect all aspects of the Tang people.

Therefore, although the young Tang Emperor was still immature in his administration, he saw the hidden crisis behind the glory of the Tang people. Therefore, after he succeeded to the throne, he has been doing his best to sweep away the extravagant and corrupt atmosphere caused by the succession of previous generations of monarchs, and has also been committed to using more national strength on the local area, constantly developing the local area, creating strong domestic demand, and making every effort to support and develop some declining industries and commerce.

Everything is in reserve, and the fear is how they will deal with the chain reaction that will arise after the collapse of the Mediterranean trading economic circle around them, and the status of the Western world trade center is transferred to other countries. War, when the time comes, will inevitably appear, a new round of reshuffle, doomed to the rise of one side and the decline of the other.

Some countries will decline for a while, and then rise again, but some countries will decline completely, and will never be able to regain their former glory.

Emperor Tang is very afraid that his country will become like this. Therefore, he did a lot in the short years after he succeeded to the throne. However, the effect is still declining, the spread is too large, and there is too much to do. There are too many things he wants to reform and innovate, not only the ministers can't adapt to his pace, but the people can't adapt to his fast pace. All because hundreds of years of life have already adapted the people to the current rhythm of life.

This time of external exploration, if there is no unexpected arrival of the elves, then the gradual decline of the Tang people is almost inevitable. The first development will face the situation of all the people suffering, and it is conceivable that at that time, the pressure from many parties in China will inevitably follow. Under pressure from many parties, the young Tang Emperor will either be able to break out of the situation and control the situation again; Either that, or to compromise with many parties, to go out and participate in the operation of the Great Voyage, to declare the end of total and the complete failure of his reforms!

However, now it is different, and the key to breaking the game has come. That is the elf, the elf who came alone on an elegant white boat with good intentions, and his appearance made the young Tang Emperor see the hope of breaking the game. With the help of this elf's arrival, he wants to completely turn everything around, not only to help himself grasp all the power, but also to use the elf to not only restore his lost prestige, but also climb to a new world! At that time, his reforms, his ambitions, will be swept away by the unprecedented prestige of the monarch. Because at that time, no one would go against a monarch with unprecedented prestige!

For this reason, a sumptuous and large, royal warship officially sailed out of the port. With the orders of the Tang Emperor, go to Gibraltar and greet his ally, an elf from the New World, with great momentum!
