How the four of them were shocked by the content of the textbook will not be mentioned here, they mainly came to check the national policy of the Tang State and the living conditions of the people.

The situation in this village is so good that they can't believe it's true.

Everything written in Guo Jiting's letter is actually there, even better than what is written in the letter, and it is reasonable for them to be suspicious.

The way to dispel suspicion is very simple, just go to a few more villages and take a look.

So they continued to the next village, and found that it was the same as the previous village, and found many details that they had not discovered before.

For example, every household is manure, and the number of livestock far exceeds that of any force they know.

They know how to raise ducks in rice fields, how to raise chickens with earthworms, how to raise waterwheels that rotate automatically, what to plow with curved yuan, and how to boil nitrate......

These seemingly inconspicuous inventions fundamentally changed the lives of the people of the Tang Kingdom.

At least the people here can eat eggs every day, and if they want to eat meat, they can kill ducks and chickens, and there is very cheap fish......

When their family was not assigned to Lingnan, they didn't eat so luxuriously.

Continuing to the north, it gradually became desolate, and Zhao Fang's explanation was that it had just been developed, and the further north it went, the more desolate it became.

The four of them didn't say much, and it was normal for the country to be established for only three years.

Along the way, they met many construction teams who were building roads, and they only found out after chatting with the people who were working.

Only a small number of them came to serve as conscripts, and most of them came to work while the peasants were slack, and they were paid the wages of eight eldest sons a day.

Come and go freely, and do it for a few days if you want.

It is an unprecedented thing to requisition people to build roads and pay back wages.

The road further north is more difficult, and the villages encountered are very simple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are surrounded by four walls. Many of them don't even have four walls, so they can only live in grass huts temporarily.

But everyone here is very good, and their eyes are full of hope for the future.

Speaking of Tang Guo and Tang Wang, they are all words of gratitude - here they finally feel that they are a person, not something inferior to even livestock.

Even the people of different races are similar, and when they are asked what they think of the Han people, the answer is that the descendants of China are originally a family, and they are divided into each other.

Chen Xiu continued to remain silent, while Cao Hui and Fang Zhao became entangled and hesitated.

Zhou Qi is getting more and more excited, and his mouth keeps talking about the world of Datong.

"We don't have a chance to see the rule of three generations, but the rule of the Tang Kingdom is really the closest place I have ever seen to Datong."

Chen Xiu said nonchalantly: "It's just a small country and a widow, which is not enough to explain anything." ”

Cao Hui and Fang Zhao echoed: "Look again, look again." ”

So the group took a boat in Ningbei Town to the Rift Valley Plain.

The first stop was the North Wharf, which had been turned into a dual-use base. But for the time being, there are not many civilian ships coming and going, and dozens of warships are docked here.

This is the first time that the four of them have had close contact with the Tang army since they landed on the island, and they can't help but take a few more looks. Not to mention anything else, at least the warships are very large, and the army is very imposing.

The army also belonged to the forbidden places, and they quickly left.

When they arrived at the three towns of Zongbei, they saw a completely different kind of life - nomadism, semi-nomadism to be precise.

The herders have their families and fields in the town, and their families usually live in the town, and they go to the pastures to graze their cattle and return to their homes in the town when it is their turn to rest.

The herd of horses in the pasture has formed a size, with more than 7,000 stallions and nearly 2,000 foals.

Most of these foals are new this year, and it will take at least three years to breed them into war horses.

Originally, they thought that the so-called Zongbei Horse Farm was an open field, and it would be good to have a thousand children and eight hundred horses. Who knew that it was really a prairie with more than 7,000 stallions.

This is an island, there is such a huge plain grassland on it, if Jin Guo knew about it, he would probably cry and faint in the small toilet.

Although it will take three years to produce a stable war horse, this represents the future.

What is three years for a country?

Besides, in the past three years, it is not that there is no way to form a cavalry, and the Tang State can even get a stallion, and there should be no problem with the war horse.

Buying three or five thousand horses to form a cavalry unit can easily get through these three years.

Seeing the Rift Valley Racecourse, the four of them really faced up to the Tang Kingdom.

Zhou Qisheng praised: "Tang Wang is really the world's first-class strange person, there is such a monarch, why don't Tang Kingdom worry." ”

Cao Hui and Fang Zhao nodded again and again, agreeing with his words, but Chen Xiu stood with his hands and did not speak.

After seeing the horse farm, they took a boat around the Ningnan Plain again, which was even more desolate than Ningbei.

Zhao Fang said: "Ningnan has a large undulating terrain and lacks lake water storage, so it will become a flood in the rainy season, and it will fall into a water shortage dilemma in the dry season, which is not suitable for land reclamation. ”

"In order to change this situation, the king planned three reservoirs here to regulate the water resources, and once completed, the land here will become fertile."

"The first reservoir is being built now, but the Tang State lacks manpower and progress is slow. Some of the captives of the Yan Kingdom will be sent here to build a reservoir. ”

"When the reservoir is built, they will be placed here......"

Zhou Qi praised again: "This move is beneficial in the present and in the future, and the king's foresight makes a certain admiration." ”

The group went north again, and soon came to the boundary of Yancheng, which was another world.

Sugar cane and garlic fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and other food crops are grown to a lesser extent.

Zhao Fang introduced: "The sugar sold in Tang Kingdom is made from sugar cane here. ”

As for why so much garlic was grown, he did not explain, and the four did not ask.

They went to the villagers' homes to investigate on the spot, and found that the people here were no worse off than in the Ningzhong Plain. Even because he is planting cash crops, he has more cash in his hands.

In the end, they went to Yancheng, and when they arrived at the 10,000 acres of mirror-like salt fields, they were shocked again.

Especially when I knew how Tang Guo produced salt, I was dumbfounded and thought I heard a joke.

But the salt pans are right in front of them, so they can't believe it.

They never imagined that they could obtain unlimited salt in such a simple way. No wonder Tang Guo will never be short of salt, no matter how much he wants, he can take it out.

It's a money grab.

As long as this secret can be kept from being known, they can continue to use salt to siphon wealth from other countries.

Thinking of this, Cao Hui and Fang Zhao's faces couldn't help but change. Knowing so many secrets, will they still have a chance to leave?

In other words, they didn't plan to let them leave at all, and this answer made them feel very aggrieved and uncomfortable.

wanted to find Chen Xiu and Zhou Qi to complain, but found that the former was indifferent, as if he hadn't expected it, and the latter had completely regarded himself as a Tang Guoren.

They are helpless or helpless.

So far, after half a month, they have finally completed the visit.

Zhao Fang asked, "Four gentlemen, do you want to return or follow me to Mengqi City to meet the king?" ”
