Chapter 983: Opening
George is not the only one who has the same idea, those envoys enjoy the top treatment in their own country, but after arriving in Chang'an, they were immediately captured by the rich life here.
Comparing before and after, I only felt that my previous superior days were no different from pigs.
It's okay to stay for three or two days, but as long as you live for more than seven days, you always want to stay in Datang and not go back. If you go back, you will earn some credit, and you will be praised and praised, how can you be happy to settle down in Datang?
The Tang Dynasty basically didn't see Han slaves, and there were still some slaves in the early years of Zhenguan, but since the military won a series and there were many more foreign slaves in the country, the household department has set its sights on the slave group. It is very good to use foreign captives as slaves, but as for Han slaves, as long as they are not the ones who have made big mistakes in contemporary times, they should be registered and divided into several plots of land, which is no less than a policy to appease the displaced people.
As a result, the emperor's several amnesty decrees did not cheapen those criminals, but cheapened Han slaves.
The growth of population is the second only merit of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, so there are many babies born, and there is no need to worry about the children not having enough to eat, who is not happy to live. What's more, the standard for having a child now is two, and if you have one more, the government will not only come to congratulate you, but also give some silver rewards.
Looking at the dolls running around the street, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but show a look of envy.
Compared with the plateau, it is too easy for the children of Datang to survive. Every household with a pregnant woman is recorded by the government. If the family is poor, there are even supplements from the government delivered to the door. When giving birth, the rich family can ask for a stable wife, and the poor family can't afford to ask for it, so naturally the government will help distribute the stable wife.
And what about Tibet? People are very afraid of having children, and if the weather is bad, the survival rate of children is particularly low. Every strong man who grows up almost represents a piece of hardship and sorrow.
But that's it, as long as a thunderbolt from the Tang people comes, three or five strong Tibetan men will end their lives. Since the Tang people had that kind of terrifying weapon, the fearlessness of Tibet and the bravery of the grassland are no longer the factors that dominate the battlefield.
Originally, in the face of the Tang army's 10,000 troops and 3,000 Tibetan soldiers in his hands, Lu Dongzan was conceited and dared to attack head-on. But now, it seems to be the other way around.
Looking at the Tubo warriors behind him, Lu Dong sighed in admiration, walked over and punched him one by one: "Cheer up!" In the previous competitions, Tang people won the first place, and this year we must change this situation. We can't beat the Tang people on the battlefield, and if we lose the game again, the old man will wear a fox tail to return to Tibet! ”
Wearing a fox's tail, this is the most vicious punishment in Tibet, and the warriors hammer their chests in unison, swearing that they must win glory for the prime minister.
The two soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the Tubo people in front of them and laughed mockingly. This year is different from previous years, in previous years, the royal family selected people in the army, and that's it, and won the first and second gold medals.
And this year, not only the army is being selected, but also the capable people of various state capitals are also being selected, and the most important thing is that the nobles are also being selected. The outstanding ones in the army will become officers, and the most outstanding ones will generally be recruited by the nobles to become generals. In the face of such a scale, the Tubo people want to win the first place, and they simply want to eat fart.
Ignoring the soldiers guarding the city, although Lu Dongzan wanted to pull their heads off, but after thinking about the consequences, he endured it after all.
The current Tang Dynasty is very irritable, for the sake of a civilian, they dare to directly send troops to find trouble with the Turks, Lu Dongzan feels that they will not mind looking for trouble in Tibet again for the sake of a soldier guarding the city.
After traveling out of the city for two hours, we finally arrived at the stadium.
Looking at the thriving Academy of Literature on the other side of the stadium, the corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth were bitter.
When I came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for relatives, I wanted to get some classics from the Tang Dynasty, especially technologies such as iron smelting. The invincible Tibetan warriors need steel weapons, the weak Tubo old and weak need the medical skills of the Tang Dynasty to treat the sick, and the ignorant people need books to make up for the emptiness of their hearts, so as not to worship everything they see.
However, the princess of the Tang Dynasty looked down on Tubo, and although the classics of the Tang Dynasty were obtained, the words "building blocks, even cars, and spinning wheels" on them could not be understood at all.
If you want to get this, you have to go to the Bungain, and only the Bungain has the latest book drawings, and it is said that even a fool can understand what a technology is all about.
With all his might, he finally got the emperor's will and was able to enter the academy. But when he approached the door, he was stopped by the guards at the door. They said that even if it was the emperor's will, the president of the Academy of Letters had the right to refuse.
Taking his eyes off the outer wall of the Academy, Lu Dongzan forced himself not to think about it.
The stadium has gathered a lot of envoys, and the audience is already full of people watching the excitement.
In front of the rostrum, three huge trophies like water tanks stood there, shining.
A gold cup, a silver cup, and a bronze cup belong to the first, second, and third in the total number of gold medals respectively.
Not to mention the gold cup, as long as they get the silver cup, they can pay back their money in Datang!
The only one who can have such a big deal is the protector of the country, he is rich in the world, and it is not a big deal to cast such three trophies, otherwise even the royal family is reluctant to do this.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a team of honors to arrive at the rostrum, escorted by the escorts. The first is Li Shimin, the emperor who terrified the surrounding countries to the extreme, and the second is Leng Feng, the protector of the country, who is also powerful. Today's emperor can only sit in the third position.
Seeing the lively people, they suddenly shouted long live.
Li Shimin just stood up and waved his hand, and then sat down again.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked up to the commentary stage and took out an iron megaphone.
As he was ready to speak, the noisy auditorium fell silent. The people around Chang'an have become accustomed to this kind of large-scale event. From noisy to quiet, it only took about ten seconds.
The stadium doesn't have the amplified walls of a theater, and it takes a lot of peeing to barely make everyone hear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't talk about the scene, and the audience needs to abide by it, so I won't repeat it. This time the race is different from the past, just in time for the summer harvest, so it's good for you to come and see for a day and give the neighbors who didn't make it in a chance. ”
In fact, there is no need to register names or anything, and the people of the Tang Dynasty do not generally obey the orders of the officials. As long as an official says let them see it for one day, they will never come the next day.
They all know that this year's competition is good-looking, and they already feel that it is worth it to be able to mix with the opening ceremony on the first day.
