Datang Longya

Chapter 983 Opening

George was not the only one who had the same idea. Those envoys enjoyed top treatment in their own country, but when they arrived in Chang'an, they were captured by the rich life here.

Comparing before and after, I just feel that my previous good life is no different from that of a pig.

It's okay to stay for three or two days, but as long as you stay for more than seven days, you always think about staying in Datang and not going back.When you go back, you will earn some credit and be praised. How can you be happy to settle down in Datang?
There were basically no Han slaves in the Tang Dynasty, and there were still some slaves in the early years of Zhenguan. However, since the military won consecutive victories and there were many foreign slaves in the country, the Ministry of Households has focused its attention on the slave group.It is fine to use foreign captives as slaves. As for Han slaves, as long as they did not make major mistakes in the contemporary era, registering them with household registration and dividing them into pieces of land is no less a policy to appease the refugees.

Ever since, the emperor's several decrees of amnesty for the world did not benefit the criminals, but the Han slaves.

The growth of the population is the greatest achievement of the Tang Dynasty next to the military exploits. The people all over the world live and work in peace and contentment, so there are more babies born, and there is no need to worry that the children will not have enough to eat. Who is not a happy child.What's more, the standard for having two children now is two. If there is one more child, the government will not only come to congratulate them, but also give some silver rewards.

Looking at the dolls running around on the street, Lu Dongzan couldn't help showing a look of envy.

Compared with the plateau, it is too easy for children in Datang to survive.As long as there are pregnant women in every household, they will be recorded by the government.Poor families even have government supplements delivered to their doorsteps.When they are about to give birth, rich families can hire stable wives themselves, but poor families cannot afford to hire stable wives. Naturally, the government will help distribute stable wives.

And what about Tubo?The common people are very afraid of having children. If the weather is bad, the survival rate of the children will be very low.Every grown-up strong man almost represents a lot of hardships and sorrows.

But that's it, as long as a thunderbolt from the Tang people comes over, three or five strong Tubo men will end their lives.Since the Tang people had that terrifying weapon, the fearlessness of Tubo and the bravery of the grassland were no longer the factors that dominated the battlefield.

Facing the [-] troops of the Tang Dynasty, with [-] Tubo 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 each one of them: "Cheer up! In the previous games, the Tang people won the first place. This year we must change this situation. On the battlefield, we will fight But Tangren, if I lose again in the competition, I will return to Tubo wearing a fox tail!"

Wearing a fox tail is the most vicious punishment in Tubo. The warriors hammered their chests together, 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 from the army. Just like this, they won the first place, and the number of gold medals in the second place was far behind.

But this year, not only the army is being selected, but also talented people from various state capitals are 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 are generally recruited by nobles to become generals.Faced with such a scale, if the Tibetans want to win the first place, they simply want to eat farts.

He ignored the soldiers guarding the city. Although Lu Dongzan wanted to take their heads off, he finally endured after thinking about the consequences.

The current Datang is very irritable, and they dare to send troops directly to trouble the Turks for a commoner. Lu Dongzan feels that they will not mind troubles for the Turks for a soldier defending the city.

After traveling out of the city for two hours, I finally arrived at the stadium.

Looking at the thriving Academy of Arts on the other side of the stadium, the corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth were bitter.

At the beginning, I came to Datang to ask for marriage, just to get some classics of the Tang Dynasty, especially the technology of iron smelting.The invincible Tubo warriors need steel weapons, the weak Tubo old and weak need the medical skills of the Tang Dynasty to treat patients, and the ignorant people need books to fill the void in their hearts, so as not to worship everything they see as gods.

However, the princess of the Tang Dynasty looked down on Tubo. Although the ancient books of the Tang Dynasty were obtained, the words "building blocks, connecting cars, spinning wheels" and other words on them were completely incomprehensible.

If you want to get these, you have to go to the Academy of Arts. Only the Academy of Arts has the latest books and blueprints. It is said that even a fool can understand what a technology is all about.

With all his strength, he finally got the emperor's will and was able to enter the Academy of Arts.But when he approached the door, he was stopped by the guard at the door.They said that even if it is the emperor's will, the dean of the Academy of Arts has the right to refuse.

Averting his eyes from the outer wall of the Academy of Arts, Lu Dongzan forced himself not to think about it.

The stadium has already gathered a lot of envoy teams, and the spectator stands are already full of people watching the excitement.

In front of the rostrum, three huge trophies like water tanks stood there, shining brightly.

A gold cup, a silver cup, and a copper 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 recoup their expenses in Datang!

The only one who can have such a large amount of money is the Duke Protector. He is so rich that it is not a big deal to cast such three trophies, otherwise even the royal family would be reluctant to do so.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of nobles arrived at the rostrum under the escort of the guards.The first one was Li Shimin, the emperor who terrified the surrounding countries to the extreme, and the second one was Leng Feng, the Lord Protector who was equally astonishing all over the world.The current emperor can only sit in the third position.

The people watching the excitement suddenly shouted long live.

Li Shimin just stood up and waved his hands, then sat down again.

Wen Wenya, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, walked up to the commentary stand and took out a metal loudspeaker.

When he was ready to speak, the noisy auditorium suddenly fell silent.The people around Chang'an are used to this kind of large-scale event.From noisy to quiet, it only took about ten seconds.

The stadium does not have the amplified walls like the theater, and Wen Wenya had to urinate so hard that everyone could hear the sound.

"Everyone, I won't talk about the scene, and I won't repeat it if the audience needs to abide by it. This time the game is different from the past, just in time for the summer harvest, so it's good for you to come and watch it for a day, and give it to those who didn't get in. A chance next door."

In fact, there is no need to register names at all. The people of Tang Dynasty did not generally obey the orders of the officials.As long as some officials tell them to watch it for one day, they will never come over the next day.

They all know that this year's competition is good, and they already think it's worth it to be able to participate in the opening ceremony of the first day.
