If you don't have anything important to do, you must practice here and visit friends.

Now, just for a brief look, Meng Fan continued to travel north with the magic power of shrinking the ground into inches.

However, it was not so rushed.

When there are no clouds, stop at the top of the mountain and overlook the north, you can see Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The sun is scorching.

At this time, if there were clouds over Chang'an City, it would be a good weather, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and it hurt the guards and swordsmen.

Outside the Yanxing Gate, there were countless convoys, mostly camels, and exotic accents, ranging from Sogdians wearing white-pointed felt hats to cautious Japanese and Persians in fancy clothes.

The scribes stood at the gate to register with a book in one hand and a pen in the other, and were treated equally no matter where they came from.

"Where did it come from?"

"The public inspection will be used for investigation."

At its peak, the Tang Dynasty had a population of more than 80 million people, and its territory covered an area of more than 10 million square kilometers.

If not, then it is either a fugitive slave or a floating household, and he was tied up and sent to the government directly at the city gate.

If one day you open your eyes and realize that you have crossed through your body, you have inherited nothing, and there is no official examination in your arms, so you can be a savage in peace.

If you insist on breaking into the city, then congratulations, more than a thousand years in advance, enjoy the modern Western countries to deal with illegal immigrants -

The county lieutenant will first beat the board and then send it back to his hometown.

What? From the modern era, homeless!

Hurry up, pull to the frontier to be cannon fodder.

Or ask which poor country sufferers still lack slaves, lowly labor for nothing!

Of course, you can also eat wild fruits and hunt rabbits, while sneaking into the mountain village, carefully observing for a period of time, finding a kind person, and running to kowtow at night.

Wang Po sells melons, sells herself and boasts, boasts that she has infinite strength, has more strength than livestock, eats less than livestock, begs for food, and can help the servants to farm.

If you think you are handsome and have the ability to turn a wheel, you can choose a well-off little widow and ...... on a thunderstormy night Ahem.

Anyway, it is smooth to eat soft rice, so that people are willing to take risks to raise and hide, and mix for a few years, which prince is born, or the country has won a big victory, the sage dragon heart is happy, and the court is ordered to issue an amnesty order:

The wanderers of the world are not guilty.

In other words, it is to allow black households to register a local account for free.

You are happily led by the pretty widow and go to the local area to write a "hand", which can be regarded as completely settling down in Datang and beginning to officially enjoy national treatment.

As for bribes with crooked brains, take a glass ball and a lighter out, and the doorman dares to accept it?

So many eyes staring at it!

They are serious and well-organized people in the peaceful years, eating national food, and their lives are very nourishing, if they let a person who does not have a "public examination" pass the test, they will be exiled for at least one year!

If this guy who was let go has a criminal record, or goes to the city to commit a crime, then he will be punished together, and the happy little family will be gone all of a sudden.

"Yes."

"Next."

Little by little, the team moved forward.

Meng Daochang lined up steadily, and he didn't put any scores, and he still had to mix in Chang'an in the future, and experience more of the customs of the imperial capital, so as to facilitate quick integration.

Besides, there was no one in front of him, and the inspection speed of the knife and pen clerks and doormen was quite fast.

After all, Tang Law guarantees the right of the people to travel, which gatekeeper dares to eat and take cards for no reason, deliberately make things difficult for passers-by, and obstruct them for a day, the chief officer in charge of the gate will have to take forty boards, and the maximum number of beatings can be one hundred, not to mention death, it is also half-paralyzed.

"Examination, passing."

The former is similar to an ID card, indicating the holder's age, appearance, and name, while the latter is a letter of introduction, which requires the government of origin to prove that the holder is a good citizen, has a family and a business, and has a serious future, and must be stamped and approved by the state and county government.

"There are twenty companions, why are there only eight people now, and the rest?

」

"There were fifty-six camels registered at the Bitter Water Catcher, but now there are fifteen of them?"

In the face of the old official's interrogation, the Persian merchant in front of Meng Fan did not panic, cocked his tongue, spoke in the half-baked official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, and provided proof one by one.

Some people are swallowed by the desert, some people are unaccustomed to the water and soil in the wild, and they die of illness because they can't get treatment, and there are documents for this at each level.

I have to say that it is not easy for foreigners to come to the Central Plains to do business, but the Hu businessmen are willing to do it, after all, they can make a lot of money.

The old official made a judgment silently, lowered his head, withdrew his gaze as sharp as an eagle, and commented on the place where Hu Ren entered Chang'an:

Yanxing doorman Xin Wuyong surveyed.

After writing, he waved his hand.

A group of high-nosed and deep-eyed young men wearing tight pants and pointed shoes immediately understood, a smile appeared on their faces, and they directly led the camel team to officially enter the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.

"This is the degree of the poor way."

"By the way, there is also the government to sue you."

When the old official heard this, he immediately understood, he was a high-ranking official and noble who had become a monk and practiced, and he raised his eyes to look at Meng Fan's appearance and temperament, which was by no means ordinary, giving people a feeling of seclusion and mystery.

When you are about to pay your way and say goodbye, raise your hands at the same time, hold your right hand with your left hand, point your left little finger to your right wrist, point your thumb up, and stretch out the four fingers of your right hand, and cover your chest with your palm.

This is called the fork hand salute, pay attention to the square inch, that is, the heart, from the Tang Dynasty has been popular to the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, it is very convenient to walk, and put the hand in the heart, the meaning of respect is very strong.

Liu Zongyuan, a later writer, was demoted to Yongzhou, for fear of offending his colleagues by making mistakes again, so he simply -

Enter the county waist and fold constantly, and every person has a fork.

In this regard, Meng Fan smiled back, and Shi Shiran stepped into Chang'an.

Behind him was a group of envoys sent by the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty.

There are not many people, and the leader holds the sword given by the emperor, and has the power to cut and kill at will below the deputy envoy.

To tell the truth, they are not easier than Persian merchants, first worship the local ghosts and gods, and then knock to the Japanese emperor, the king specially told them to be respectful and respectful when they arrive in the Tang Dynasty, don't dislike others, and then they issued living expenses.

Four or five hundred people boarded the ship from Kyushu and sailed for more than 30 days, suffering all kinds of hardships along the way, and finally got ashore, collected the survivors and counted them, and a large number of people died.

Reluctantly left the sailors and craftsmen, and the envoy took the students to the local government to report, proving that their group was a Japanese mission that drifted to the local shore across the sea, not a fugitive slave girl from the mainland.

"Thanks to that sage's order to let the government take care of the government along the way, we didn't let our group of students, who had managed to cross the ocean, starve to death on the way to Chang'an."

"Heavenly grace, woo woo."

"This city is so magnificent, when will we have ......?"

"I heard that there are two saints in Datang."

Listening to the murmuring behind him and the language he didn't understand, Meng Fan shook his head and continued to move forward.

At this time, a horse rushed out, carrying wine and meat in his hand, probably after receiving a summons, to comfort this group of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, to show the demeanor of a great country, to guide them to stay in the Sifang Pavilion in the city, and to accept their tribute.
