Chapter 662

Later, Zhao and song Junchen talked with Tang envoys for several words and hosted a banquet. The Tang emissary retired, and a few days later, he came to return home. After all, they are brothers who share the blood of the Han family and are separated by thousands of miles. After knowing the history and geography of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they do not treat these adherents like thieves. They didn't worry at all, and they didn't think that the Tang people would give up their family business for hundreds of years and return to the Central Plains again to fight for hegemony. Because that's impossible. In other words, they will not abandon their ancestral business for hundreds of years. However, Zhao and song Junchen were very interested in the kingdom of Tang people, so they sent a delegation of the same scale to visit the kingdom of Tang people.

After leaving the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty took the Zhao and song envoys back to their original landing place, Suzhou, and then sailed out to sea on the way home. After sailing for a year, the Tang people's fleet returned to the red sea again. Later, he contacted the Witches of his own country and worked together to cross the Red Sea and return to the Mediterranean Sea. As soon as they stepped into the calm Mediterranean Sea, far away from the surging ocean, the homesickness of the Tang mission suddenly gushed out. Then, after sailing for a few days, a continuous "green line" appeared. People in the Tang Dynasty knew that it was their country and land, and they finally went home.

"Lord Lu, the land ahead is the land of the Tang Dynasty." The Tang envoy explained to Lu Duan, who was standing beside him that he was the delegation representing Zhao and song. It is not only to investigate the country of the adherents of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also to compare the national strength of the Tang people. Because after listening to the boasting words of the Tang envoys, the emperors and ministers of Zhao and song were always not satisfied with them, so they wanted to take an examination of the school. In addition, they also wanted to see if the country of the Tang people was as good as the Tang envoys said, and there were many good horses in the country, just like stars in the sky.

After hearing this, Lu Duan put up a shed and looked into the distance. Looking at the undulating green line ahead, he knew that they would soon arrive at the kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. Then he was silent, and only nodded slightly to Tang Shi's explanation. Because he didn't understand, he didn't know what to say. All, or wait to see for the truth, after the argument, specific things, or need to witness the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future to care about.

Seeing that LV Duan didn't speak, Tang envoy didn't speak much. He stood quietly with him at the bow of the ship and looked out at the distant continental line.

Before long, the huge fleet slowly approached the port, and Lu Duan could clearly see the whole picture of the port. Apart from anything else, the port's scale and prosperity are not inferior to them. The berths of the wharf are full of ships of different sizes, loading and unloading goods one by one. Before he got close to the port, he could hear the bustling noise. This made LV Duan secretly nod his head. No matter what else, just the bustling scene, we can see that this small country relying on trade, even if it is not as rich as them, can not be underestimated in this foreign land.

As the huge fleet approached, the tax officials at the port naturally knew the royal flag hanging above the flagship, so they called the port police office to sort out the berths. At the same time, the ships entering and leaving the port should be sorted out in a unified way. In short, the Royal ships should not be delayed.

Under the arrangement of the police department and the port tax department, businessmen from different countries and their own countries are not surprised. Those who wanted to leave the port stopped, and those who wanted to enter the port also kept away from the Royal Fleet. With the huge fleet gradually entering the port, the port also gradually began to return to normal.

When the song envoys returned again, they not only brought rich national rites and various commodities when they visited Zhao and Song dynasties. When he returned home, he also brought goods full of cargo holds, including gifts from the Zhao and Song Dynasties and goods purchased from the Central Plains nearby. Silk, however, has always been a big part of the trade between the East and the west, an absolutely profiteering commodity.

When ships of exquisite silk were transported down, the eyes of businessmen from all countries, including their own, were red. Obviously, they know the product, and they know more about its value. It is no exaggeration to purchase silk from China and transport it to Europe at a price of more than 100 times. Who let this kind of goods, only China can make it? China holds the golden weapon of silk and has been making huge profits in the trade between the East and the West.

Merchants from all over the world also made huge profits by selling silk.

Therefore, when the silk was transported down, all the merchants were red eyed. They all scrambled to buy silk. However, the officers and officers of the port police department, the scabbard knife and the murderous look on their faces made the merchants of all countries stop. However, there are still innumerable businessmen, with wide eyes and gasping for breath, looking at the exquisite silks. The desire in their eyes is like substance.

Seeing this, Lu Duan was filled with disdain and pride in his heart. "The generation of Yidi is so vulgar that they don't know etiquette." But he was very interested in the Hengdao in the hands of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and hesitated to ask, "is this one of the four Hengdao made in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty?" Lu Duan asked uncertainly, because in the Central Plains, the iron and steel smelting method of the prosperous Tang Dynasty had long been lost. The later dynasties can no longer reproduce the cutting tools of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Even in the Ming Dynasty, we had to learn from Japan, which is a pity.

"That's right. It's Hengdao!" Although the tax official didn't know LV Duan, he didn't dare to be contemptuous when he came here with the ship. Besides, Lu Duan's voice, appearance and dress are very similar to those of his native land, which makes him feel good“ There are not only horizontal Dao, but also Mo Dao, Yi Dao and Zhang Dao. "

"Why do you still keep the weapon smelting method of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?" Lu Duan's eyes widened. It was a weapon of the Tang Dynasty. They could only learn from books, but they had no idea how to smelt it. Because many technologies have been lost in the war and chaos of the next five dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. For example, the assembly line of Qin Dynasty was lost in Han Dynasty.

The Tang emissary explained to him, "we also lost a lot of smelting methods in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But in the end, we made it up. Compared with the smelting process of that year, it is still better. "

"I never thought that there would be another day to see you again." In this regard, Lu Duan is quite emotional. Later, the news of the visit of Zhao song envoys was brought to the capital by people. After a long journey to the Zhao song mission, each has been exhausted. Then, accompanied by officials, they arranged rest places for them to rest. During the day, government officials led them to visit the whole city and the countryside.

Lu Duan looked at the place one by one, and saw that the adherents of the Tang Dynasty had different languages from the Central Plains, but they could understand each other after they knew each other. It's like a dialect in Central China, but their writing has been improved. Although it is not similar to Chinese characters, it is quite beautiful in writing. However, Lu Duan was still dissatisfied with these adherents of the prosperous Tang Dynasty who changed their words without authorization. Isn't that forgetting their ancestors? However, they have been far away from foreign lands for hundreds of years, and their language has changed, which is also a matter of fate. Later, Lu Duan visited the city during the day, and wrote in his room at night a brief tour of the Tang Dynasty "... The people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years of wind and frost, far away from the native land of the Central Plains, although they still maintain our Chinese clothing, but the language and writing are totally different from that of China... However, the people here are rich in clothes, outstanding people, and have the legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty... There are plenty of warehouses everywhere, I like raising livestock and making wine. Martial arts is especially popular. It's almost like the violent Qin Dynasty. Niannai is in a foreign land, and you can understand it. The country of adherents is like the reappearance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "
