Xuanzang subconsciously took the other party's bowl, he raised his head and looked at the other party, the other party still had a simple smile on his face, but this face was very different from the Central Plains, more like the faces of these countries in the Western Regions, but at this moment, the other party's mouth was speaking proficient Chinese, or rather, it was the official dialect of the Han Dynasty.

Because the Han Dynasty has popularized pinyin nationwide, and it has spread to all the people, the first thing these people who can't speak Chinese is the Han official dialect, which they also call Mandarin.

Mandarin, this is very straightforward, for the popularization of the official dialect of the Han Dynasty, Xuanzang of course knows that this is a good thing, the territory of the Han Dynasty is already very large, such a huge area, not to mention that the original Han population of the Han Dynasty is not large, most of them are composed of ethnic minorities from the original 36 countries in the Western Regions, and many of them do not speak Chinese.

Even if they can speak Chinese, it is only simple Chinese, and the Chinese they learn is naturally more inclined to the Chinese of the Hexi Corridor, but now it is different, everyone in the entire Han Dynasty speaks the same language, maybe there are some old people whose accents cannot be changed, but their next generation has all spoken Mandarin.

Even their older generation are trying to use the official dialect, which means that all the businessmen who come to Dahan to do business can understand and communicate wherever they go, and they don't have to worry about not being able to communicate, and even Datang seems to be starting to popularize some pronunciation, and the official language popularized by Datang seems to be the same as Dahan.

Of course, Xuanzang was at a loss not because of this, but because of the newspaper he just saw, to be precise, Xuanzang has been at a loss like this many times in the past few years, but this time...... Even more dazed.

Starting from the Tang Dynasty all the way to the west, because he was a monk, Xuanzang walked all the way with his own feet, and there were many caravans on the road who were willing to let him hitchhike, but he refused, all of them came with his legs, not only that, in order to popularize Buddhism in his heart and unify the Buddhist scripture theory, he was ready to go all the way to Tianzhu to learn the scriptures, and on the way to learn the scriptures, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were the places he wanted to travel.

Because he knows very well that only by traveling can he know what the people need, and only then can he know how the Buddha can save people, but from the beginning of this trip, it seems to have fallen into a strange state, not that no one is difficult for him, on the contrary, no one has embarrassed him, and has given him a lot of help, but what makes him at a loss is ...... From the time he walked out of the Tang Dynasty and began to enter the Han Dynasty.

The countries he originally wanted to visit became the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the countries of the Western Regions, such as Yanqi, Loulan, Yiwu, Gaochang and so on, eventually became the cities of the Han Dynasty.

For this scene, although Xuanzang was at a loss, but he also accepted it, but he still went to these places to travel, because he knew that all the people often suffered in the end of war, Xuanzang experienced the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Sui, he knew how terrible the consequences of the war would be, and countless people would suffer.

Therefore, he hopes that Buddhism can be propagated, so that more people can have goodness in their hearts, reduce the strife in the world, reduce wars and reduce the suffering of the people.

It is precisely because he has seen many tragedies that he wants to travel to these places and record what he saw and heard in these places as one of the records of his preaching of Buddhist teachings.

But...... Things didn't go as he thought...... Every city he went through, every people he walked through, he didn't encounter any suffering at all, as if there had never been a war here, oh...... It is true that there has been no war, and it is said that except for a few limited countries such as Gaochang, the other countries in the Western Regions have surrendered directly.

Even if they haven't experienced war, but according to what Xuanzang thinks, shouldn't these people be very miserable? But what he saw was not like that, the officials of the Great Han ...... He didn't know how to describe it, everyone in the Han seemed to be different from the ruling class that Xuanzang had seen.

They all treated these people as if they were their greatest wealth, providing them with subsidized food, distributing land to them, distributing flocks, poultry, and livestock, and teaching them how to grow food.

More importantly, all of this has laws to follow and traces to follow.

Those who are almost all patrolled all over the Han Dynasty, they should be officials...... In the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between these officials and ordinary people is not good at all, the king of Hades is easy to see, and the truth that the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, Xuanzang does not understand.

But here it seems to be adjusted, these patrols ...... In Xuanzang's opinion...... They almost feel like servants of these people, even if they have no affiliation.

Have you ever seen a ruler who helped the people to repair their houses, harvested crops, notified the people to pay attention to cattle and sheep when it snowed and rained, and even helped the people to look for cattle and sheep when they lost their cattle and sheep, and when a common people's children were sick, they helped to ride horses to find the officials in Langzhong? It can be said that they do almost everything that can help the people!

Can you find such an official in Datang? Don't talk about Datang, or even tell the truth...... Xuanzang was in his own thoughts...... In those Buddha kingdoms that he fantasizes about...... I never dared to think of such a situation.

For among his thoughts, the best world is when the people have food, clothing, and houses, no wars, and no sickness.

And all this around proves ...... It's really the big man who limits his imagination.

Therefore, along the way, Xuanzang has never seen patrols that have a bad relationship with the people, and in the same way, if these patrols are busy and need the help of the people, then the enthusiasm of these people has never made Xuanzang feel it.

When he set out from Chang'an and went to Dahan, the Tang villages he passed through on the way, although he was also enthusiastic about him as a monk, he was still wary of strangers and a kind of numbness...... These people are not interested in anything other than their own lives.

Or maybe they don't have time to be interested, because it's hard for them to even eat and eat.

But it's not the same here, which has to say one thing, Dahan's newspaper, Datang also has it, Xuanzang already knows this, he knows that Dahan did it first, and Dahan's newspaper is an unprecedented initiative in Xuanzang's opinion.

In these newspapers, it is not like the flowery and strict words and sentences written by the Hanlin scribes, but everything is written in the plain and straightforward vernacular, because this is so that every common person can understand and understand.

The articles written by those Hanlin scribes and literary masters in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention whether the people can read or not, even if someone reads them to them, they don't know what they mean.

These vernacular texts of the Han Dynasty inform all the people of what the Han government has done recently, what the Han government wants to do in the future, and what major events have happened to the Han government, what major moves have been made, what new research measures have been taken, and what new ideas have been found, all of which will be disclosed in the newspapers.

Therefore, almost everyone in the Han Dynasty knew the national policy, knew what the Han was going to do next, and knew what their leader wanted them to do.

Similarly, these people are also willing to discuss the policies of these countries, because they feel that these policies are closely related to them, and in the same way, the rapid popularization of Dahan's policies is also unprecedented for Xuanzang.

And in this, the role played by the Dahan Patrol and Capture Division Xuanzang sees it very clearly, although governments at all levels will gradually issue and implement policies, and the same Patrol and Capture Division can almost easily implement these policies in a certain village.

In Datang, in some remote mountainous areas, the majesty of the village chief is comparable to the law, no, even more effective than the law of Datang.

In some mountainous villages, the Datang laws may not work, but the village chief or the rules of the village will definitely work.

But this will definitely not work in Dahan, because of the existence of the Patrol Division, almost all villages know this, and in the same way, all villages are also executed according to the laws of Dahan.

And these are the results of the accumulation of things such as the patrol department, newspapers, etc.

There is also one point that shocked Xuanzang of the Han Dynasty, that is, the construction of the Han Dynasty, like the Tang Dynasty and even all previous dynasties, when the dynasty was prosperous, the ruler would build a large number of buildings, but all of them were replaced by forced labor, which would cause the people to be miserable.

When he first entered Dahan and saw such a large-scale construction, Xuanzang felt that Dahan was nothing more than that, and felt that the strength promoted by Dahan was absorbing the blood of the people. It wasn't until later, when he came into contact with a construction site built by Dahan, that he understood how far apart Dahan's construction was from Datang.

The people employed by the Han all had very high salaries, much higher than the wages they would have paid to stay at home and farm, not only that, but they also had to work hard in the field for a long time.

But they eat better than many of the little squires who do business in Datang! There is meat almost every day, and all I eat is white-flour steamed buns, and I am full, and I have three meals a day! And there is a fixed start time every day, and there is also a day off every seven days.

It's just that most of the time, if the construction period is in time, the workers are unwilling to rest and take the initiative to work, but as long as they work overtime, they still have overtime pay.

The word overtime salary, Xuanzang had never heard of it before.

It wasn't until that moment that Xuanzang suddenly understood why the Han Dynasty carried out such large-scale construction of roads, railways and other projects, but there was no resistance from any people, and even many people hoped to join these engineering teams.

It's just that Xuanzang doesn't understand that where did the Han get so much money to hire the people, and the Han Dynasty, a country that has only been established for a few years, is it richer than the Tang Dynasty?
