What they saw and heard along the way shocked the Frankish mission. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They had never seen such a prosperous and stable village or town, and everyone had a happy smile on their face. Compared with Europe at the same time, Jiang Ning's governance concept is too advanced.

However, he did not blindly improve his scientific and technological capabilities, and the talent pool of the Tang people is almost blank so far! Even the craftsmen who specialize in smelting weapons are very few, they are not educated, and they are illiterate.

The craftsmanship is mostly ancestral, plus practice makes perfect and a certain amount of smelting knowledge.

But these are not official, purposefully guided and organized!

The smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty was leading the world. The composite steel process is mostly used, but because of its manufacturing cost, it is destined that the Tang knife can only be equipped with a small number of people, plus human factors such as the later war. It has to be said that it is a big pity that the smelting process that led to the incomparable smelting process was lost. Future generations can only understand the glory of the Tang knife from the history books.

In fact, many Chinese crafts have been lost. There are many reasons, all kinds of excellent skills, because of the broom self-cherishing, passing on the male but not the female and other ideas, eventually led to the loss. In addition, the government is not aware of this, and many excellent skills have disappeared without a trace.

This has happened since ancient times.

And people at that time didn't realize it, maybe they were aware of it, but they were powerless to change it. Only when later generations discover that a certain skill recorded in the history books has been lost, can they feel that regret, but by this time it is already too late.

This has to be said, it is a pity!

……

After settling in Tangzhou, in order for the ethnic group to survive better, then necessary learning is indispensable.

It would be unrealistic to say that all the Tang people and Jews could read and write. At a certain age, it is very difficult to learn from scratch.

It can only be cultivated from a generation that has not yet grown up, and eventually a virtuous circle is reached.

Although the concept of governance is very advanced. But Jiangning is still facing a problem, that is, the problem of talent. There are more than 300,000 Tang people, as well as Jews, and there are not many qualified officials at all.

For such a situation, I can only endure it for the time being.

Fortunately, there are only more than 300,000 people in these two islands, which is not much. Even if it is very few, the number of officials needed is relatively small.

Therefore, after inspecting a group of Tang people and Jews, Jiang Ning conferred official positions on them. Subsequently, they were given a literacy campaign, and these people were also very competitive and studied hard. Although it is not too qualified now, it is also competent to deal with some small things.

Although he is very rich, this situation of no talent is still very embarrassing. There are many things that need to be done by him, the monarch, and Elizabeth.

Otherwise, if you want to pass on an order, you don't have a suitable herald.

At the same time, in order to avoid the loss of the current advanced technology. Jiang Ning specially made a book to record all aspects of knowledge and content, and printed it in the library inside the palace.

Waiting for the future to have enough talent, the books in the library can be used, and there is the potential for large-scale publication.

At present, there are very few people in the Tang Dynasty who can read and write. These people can't finish reading this huge variety of books. Moreover, many books need to be suitable for people who specialize in this kind of scholarship.

For example, the book of smelting compiled by Jiang Ning. The smelting methods handed down from the Tang Dynasty in China, together with the smelting techniques of the Arabs and the knowledge provided by Jiangning, compiled a thick book.

He planned to gradually teach it to the blacksmith in this area when the time came.

At the same time, in order to avoid the loss of some advanced technologies in the future. He also made laws and kept special official records of such techniques and academic disciplines. Ensure that advanced things are not lost, so that future generations can only remember from history.

At the same time, Jiang Ning was in the palace, waiting for the first Frankish mission to Western Europe.

……

Baptiste and his retinue, escorted by the Tang cavalry, made their way to the inland capital region.

And what they saw along the way changed the views of these Franks.

Many things of the Tang people are too advanced, and they are advanced skills that Europa does not have and does not have.

Europa, for example, has not yet mastered the art of taming cattle. Farming was also done only by horses, and they witnessed the Tang farmers driving their cattle to plough the fields.

And the ox followed the peasant unusually honestly, not at all irritable, extremely docile.

This surprised Baptiste, who wanted to go up and ask how the Tang people tamed the oxen. But because of the elite knights around him who were heavily armed, Baptiste had no courage to step forward and could only spy from afar. However, due to the distance, he did not see the nose ring on the cow's nose.

In Europe during this period, agriculture was quite primitive and could not be compared with China at the same time. They don't understand what it means to plough deeply, just turn the ground and sprinkle the seeds. As for the harvest, it all depends on God's arrangement.

Although I was surprised that the cow was tamed by the Tang people. Baptiste, however, did not have the discernment to see the importance of cattle to an agrarian society.

Europeans don't value cattle because they don't have the skills to tame them, so they don't value them.

After a glance from afar, he shifted his gaze and began to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the fields. Although he had never been to Sardinia, Europeans at this time did not think that Sardinia, which was also part of the European map, had anything worth noting. In their eyes, it was an island in the middle of nowhere, in the countryside, just like the island of Britain across the sea.

Perhaps because of the glorious deeds of the Tang people, Baptiste looked at the countryside and fields of the Tang people after he came here. I feel that this place is so beautiful and peaceful.

Piece after piece of field, neatly planned, the path between the fields looks so pleasing to the eye. In addition, the hilly pastures in the distance are grazed with countless cattle, sheep and horses. This scene looks like a beautiful picture of nature. Because of demographic factors, there are not many towns. In addition, Jiangning expelled hundreds of thousands of natives, so that more than 300,000 Tang people were sprinkled on the land with a land area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, which was very thin.

Thousands of miles of people are probably the best explanation!

……

Finally, after a hurry, the Frankish mission finally approached the capital of the Tang people, Xiandu!

For this strange-sounding name, Baptiste also made a point of asking the Tang cavalry escorted by him. The centurion said that the great sorcerer king was the palace where the heavenly immortals descended to earth (gods) and lived in them, called the fairy palace (temple). The city where the immortals live is naturally called Xiandu (Shendu)!

Baptiste was tempted to refute the rampant infidel of this gang of infidels. But reason told him that if he dared to do so, the end would be miserable. Then he swallowed the words that came to his mouth raw.

I want to see, what is your so-called Shendu (Xiandu)? Baptiste Ruth thought.

……

"What a huge and magnificent city!"

Baptiste, along with his entourage of missions, and dozens of cavalrymen escorting them, stood on a hill and looked out at the huge city that stood above the plain.

The high walls, the river that runs through the city, and the magnificent palaces that seem to rise above the clouds. This scene, like a mythical story, was presented in the eyes of the Frankish mission.

Europa, where has there ever been such a magnificent building?

How could there have been, such a wonderful chapter layout, and that kind of architectural style that reflects a sense of power everywhere. And the palace that looks like gold in the sunlight?

The wonderful city, the greenery and flowers everywhere, combined with the bustling and bustling city, contribute to a beautiful picture of exquisiteness.

"Drive!"

The constant urging in my heart finally couldn't hold back the feeling of curiosity and excitement. Kicking the horse's belly hard, the war horse snorted dissatisfiedly, and with four hooves, he ran towards the city in front of him.
