In fact, the Tang people grazing on the green hills were the happiest people Said had ever seen. Just by looking at the smiling faces of those people, you can know how rich the Tang Dynasty was. However, the local official who received Said told him. This is just the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty, and there is still a long way to go from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Said was so shocked that he couldn't help himself. He followed the official's guidance and led the delegation eastward. Walking down the Congling Plateau, the first thing that comes into view is the endless orchards. In Persia, scenes that could only appear in the legendary home of gods actually appeared here. The place where these orchards are located is still the western border of the Tang Dynasty. The delegation walked and watched all the way.
They walked through the towering snow-capped mountains and then entered the territory under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate. At this time, Datang's industrial production had gradually spread here. There are towering chimneys everywhere along the river, and countless huge water wheels tens of meters high, rotating day and night by the river. When the people in the mission saw a small workshop founded by a local wealthy man using a water stamping machine to shape a lump of pig iron weighing hundreds of kilograms into a well-proportioned iron plate, everyone was shocked. At this moment, they finally came to what Datang officials said was the gateway to the core area of Datang. Yumen Pass! "What a magnificent city!" Said muttered to himself. It was early in the morning, and the golden sun hung high on the city wall, as if it was hanging on it. There are no words that can describe the impact that Said felt in his heart at this time. He once heard a saying. If there is heaven on earth, Damascus must be in it. If heaven is in heaven, Damascus must be as famous as it! Damascus is a famous garden city and the capital of the Umayyad dynasty of the powerful Arab Empire. Said once visited Damascus and was conquered by that beautiful city at first sight. But in Said's eyes, the towering city gate in front of him was better than any fascinating scenery in Damascus. Just this city gate can reveal the foundation of Datang as a powerful country. During this mission, Said always regarded Datang as a country similar to Persia. Therefore, he came with an equal mentality. But at this moment, he couldn't help but have the urge to worship. This is the nature of worshiping the strong that is engraved in human genes!
Soon, the gate of Yumenguan opened. A group of Tang Dynasty officials slowly walked out. These people came to the camel team and looked up. He was obviously walking, but at this time he was still looking up. However, Said could see an arrogant momentum from their nostrils pointing upwards and not looking at people directly. He sighed slightly in his heart. This is the strength of the country and the confidence it brings to the people! Among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, a slightly fat young official wearing a red official uniform walked out. "Are you the Persian envoy? I am Li Chao, the official recorder of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and I have been ordered to come to greet you all." Li Chao said with a smile. In recent years, the Silk Road has been reopened. Countless foreign countries came to the Tang Dynasty as envoys through this road. Honglu Temple, which was usually a relatively deserted yamen, has gradually become popular. Today, more than half of the credit for the developed foreign trade of the Tang Dynasty should be attributed to Honglu Temple. Although he was only a minor official of the ninth rank, Li Chao had received foreign guests dozens of times, so he was truly considered a professional. Said jumped off the camel with the help of his servant. He raised one hand in front of his chest, bowed and saluted Li Chao and others, and introduced his origins. Following him was a young man with freckles on his face, who was Said's son. In this huge mission, only two people were qualified to talk to officials of the Tang Dynasty. "I came from the distant Persian Empire. On the orders of the Persian monarch, I brought valuable gifts and came to see the emperor of Tang Dynasty.' Li Chao returned the salute with a smiling face and said: "Envoy, please go this way." At that moment, the three of them took the lead and headed towards the city. All the way through the streets and the city. 【012602104 Feilu 101563261】 Said was amazed by the bustling streets, the dazzling array of exquisite products, and the loud shouts of sales. "This is not the capital of the Tang Dynasty yet?" Little Said couldn't help but ask. Li Chao turned to look at him and said with a smile: "This place is still thousands of miles away from Chang'an." As an official who specializes in receiving foreign envoys, Li Chao has seen many such scenes in the past two years, and he is not surprised. Anyway, no matter what country's envoys they are, after seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, they will not hesitate to make an agreement to trade with the Tang Dynasty. 0....*.....
After that, a steady stream of foreign slaves and novel goods were sent to the Tang Dynasty. After doing this business for a long time, Li Chao felt more and more the meaning of what he was doing. Therefore, his tone was quite proud at this time. Facing these country bumpkins from a foreign race, he never failed to show off the Tang Dynasty to his fullest. Little Said couldn't help but ask: "The name I heard most along the way was Su Li, the Yongle King of the Tang Dynasty." "As early as when I was in Persia, I heard that he was the most famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, and he was also a fierce general who could defeat ten thousand with one person!" "But after entering the Tang Dynasty, almost every magical thing I saw was inseparable from him." "In Persia, only great monarchs can enjoy such an honor..." 0 Having said this, little Said said with emotion: "For a moment, I couldn't tell whether King Yongle was the monarch or the emperor of this country. 17 Hearing this, all the officials of Honglu Temple changed their expressions. Li Chao's expression was also a little complicated. He laughed unnaturally and said: "The situation in the Tang Dynasty is the result of the concerted efforts of His Majesty and King Yongle and his ministers. Our king and father is naturally the emperor, there is no doubt about this!" Said also opened his eyes and glared at his son. Originally, little Said's name was not included in the list of envoys for this mission. But after little Said heard about Su Li's miraculous record from the Tang caravan, he was extremely shocked. He wanted to come to the Tang Dynasty and compete with the peerless warrior that the Tang Dynasty people said. However, after coming to Datang, little Said discovered that Su Li was not just a military general. His name is almost everywhere in this country! What he said just now was not a deliberate provocation by little Said, but his doubts from the bottom of his heart. Said understood what his son meant, but he knew even more clearly that the hidden meaning behind such a thing was enough to make any country feel sincerely afraid. After listening to the legend about Su Li, in Said's eyes at this moment, Su Li was already a god-like existence. As a nobleman, Said could not figure out how the emperor of Tang Dynasty and Su Li could coexist peacefully. After listening to Li Chao's explanation, Yide developed a feeling of admiration for Ji Er again. He said to Li Chao with emotion: "You have a monarch whose mind is as broad as the earth!".
