Wentang

Chapter 828 Final Chapter
In the blink of an eye, the 15th year of Kaiyuan came.

On this day, a group of blond and blue-eyed merchants came to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. They came from the Frankish Kingdom in Hezhou, Xiniu.

The 14-year-old Alfred was a member of the caravan. Looking at the tall and majestic city wall, he couldn't help but grow his mouth.

He dared to say that this was the worst city wall he had ever seen in his life.

Soon he realized that it was too early for him to be surprised, everything in the city was so novel.

There are row upon row of houses, spacious and clean streets, and the road surfaces are all hardened with stone-like things.

But he was sure that it wasn't a stone, because there was no such a large and flat stone, so it must have been made with a technology they didn't know.

There are various signs drawn with white lines on the road, but they don't know them.There are closed sewers on both sides, and there is a trash can not far away.

"Hey, hey, don't stand on the motorway, it's you who are talking about it."

While Alfred was in awe of the prosperity of Chang'an City, he suddenly saw a man in a black uniform with the word police written on his shoulder walking towards them not far away.

The people in the caravan were startled, and quickly looked at Alfred, who was the translator of the caravan.

He walked over nervously and asked, "This...well, are you calling us again?"

The guard said angrily, "This is your first time in Chang'an, isn't it?"

Alfred laughed and said: "It's the first time here, please forgive me if you don't understand the rules."

Seeing that his Tang dialect was so good, the guard felt a little good in his heart, and said, "Did you see the three solid lines in the middle of the road? This is a motorway. Carriages go on both sides, pedestrians go on the sidewalk. Don't make a mistake. "

Alfred said gratefully: "Thank you, by the way, what is a motor vehicle?"

The guard said: "The motor vehicle is..." Just as he was talking, a black iron car 'Tutu Tu' ran past, he pointed and said: "That is the motor vehicle."

Alfred was a little numb from the shock, and asked, "Is this a little train that doesn't need to walk on the rails?"

The guard said dumbfoundedly: "No, it is not the same thing as a train. The train is driven by a steam engine, and this is an internal combustion engine..."

"Forget it, you don't understand. Remember that the road in the middle is for the kind of car just now, and you can't go in."

Alfred quickly said: "Thank you."

The guard felt that his Tang dialect was good, so he asked one more question: "Do you speak Tang dialect well? Who did you learn it from?"

Alfred said: "I learned from a gentleman named Feng Yi, and he also recommended me to study in Datang."

The guard seemed surprised, and said, "Wait, Feng Yi? Is he around 50 years old, and he takes his wife with him everywhere he goes."

Alfred said in surprise: "That's right, that's Mr. Feng, you know him?"

The guard pointed to himself and said, "My name is Feng Hongnian. If the Feng Yi you mentioned is correct, he should be my father."

"Ah? This..." Alfred couldn't believe it: "But the master said that his teacher is the county king of Datang, who is a dignitary, and his children are learning from the county king...you..."

Feng Hongnian said helplessly: "It's not because of my father, the master was angry with him and sent me to the street to watch the street."

Alfred still had some disbelief, thinking in his heart, could this be a liar?I heard that there are many scammers here.

Feng Hongnian didn't see what he was thinking, and still said enthusiastically: "Since we are our own people, it will be easy. Come with me, and I will take you to find a place to settle down."

Alfred was more sure of his guess, and quickly declined: "No, no, no, you still have to work, so I won't bother you. How about this, how about visiting you after we settle down?"

Only then did Feng Hongnian say: "Okay then, you must come, and then I will take you to see Master."

Alfred said perfunctorily: "Okay, I understand. You go ahead, I will take them to settle down first."

After speaking, he quickly took the others away as if fleeing, and finally found a place to live after stumbling along the way.

After spending more than ten days helping the caravan sell and buy goods, and sending them on the train to the Western Regions, his task was finally completed.

His family is a small nobleman in the Frankish Kingdom, and his fate has already been doomed.Grow up to inherit his father's title and territory, and then fight against the hateful big cannibal.

The big cannibal suddenly appeared more than ten years ago, defeated one country after another, and was finally defeated by the Frankish Kingdom.

But the big cannibal is powerful, and soon launched a new attack, and the two sides launched a protracted war.

The war also spread to his family. Wars cost money. In order to resist the big cannibal, the Frankish Kingdom had to pay taxes many times, and their family could barely maintain food and clothing.

Until one day he met a traveler from Datang, the man said his name was Feng Yi, and his wife was sick and needed treatment.

Datang and the others naturally know about it. It should be said that there is no one in this world who does not know this country, which is the most powerful and richest country in the world.

It is said that Datang defeated the big cannibals with only 5 people, forcing them to invade westward.

Alfred's father received him, treated his wife, and helped him contact the explorers of Datang.

It wasn't until those explorers arrived that they knew that Feng Yi had a special status, and his master was actually the county king of Datang.

He also paid their family generously, taught Alfred to speak Tang, and wrote him a letter of recommendation.

Said that if he wanted to study in Datang, he could take this letter to Chang'an Weishui Academy.

From that day on, Alfred's dream changed, and he wanted to visit this fabled country for himself.

But the family has no money to send him to Datang.

Later, his father helped him contact a caravan, and he acted as an interpreter for the merchant, who was responsible for leading him to Datang.

Such twists and turns finally reached the destination.

And Datang's power was beyond his imagination. From the moment he entered the big city called Ningyuan, he felt that he had entered another world.

A [-]-mile railway from Ningyuan to Chang'an shortened the journey from half a year to fifteen days.

He will never forget the shock brought by the railway.

The closer it is to the mainland of Datang, the more prosperous it is, as you can tell from the increased number of railways and the trains passing by from time to time.

He knew he had come to the right place, this was another world.

After sending off the caravan, Alfred inquired all the way to Weishui Academy, where he was shocked again.

This is not an academy, but a school city composed of several huge academies, and the students he saw alone numbered tens of thousands.

This is more than the population of many cities in the Frankish Kingdom.

He felt that he seemed to have found the reason why Datang was strong. How could a country that values ​​education so much not be strong.

At this moment, he heard someone shouting: "Go to the bookstore, the dean's new book is released, it's called "Power and Rules"."

'Wow!' Countless people are scrambling to run to one place.

He grabbed a person to ask for directions, but the student broke away anxiously: "Don't delay me to buy the dean's new book."

Just when he was at a loss, a familiar voice came from behind: "So you are here, it is really easy for me to find you."

Turning his head, Alfred found that the person in front of him seemed familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

Feng Hongnian said: "Forget it so quickly? I, Feng Hongnian, the person who taught you Tang dialect is my father."

Alfred suddenly realized, seeing that the other party was wearing a student's clothes, he believed in his heart that the other party was not a liar, and then he was embarrassed.

Feng Hongnian didn't notice his abnormality, but blamed himself: "Oh, it's all my fault. I forgot to tell you where I live when I left. You have made trouble these days."

"Uh..." Alfred was even more embarrassed, he didn't do it well at all.But it's not easy to directly say that I take you for a liar, so I can only pretend to be confused.

Feng Hongnian said: "You came to the academy to report, right? Come on, I'll take you there."

Alfred couldn't wait for it, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you."

Feng Hongnian said: "We will be brothers from now on, don't be so polite, just come to me if you don't understand anything in the future."

Alfred thanked that Mr. Feng again in his heart, he is really his noble man.

Seeing many people running in one direction, he asked, "What did those people do?"

Feng Hongnian said: "Hey, Shigong has written a new book called "Power and Rules", which is about the mutual power and responsibility between the country and the people. I have a set there. If you want to read it, you can lend it to you. There is no need to compete with them. "

Alfred nodded and said, "Thank you... who are those people?"

"Those are descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The Shang Dynasty perished and went to Dongsheng Shenzhou. Now they recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. These are all sent over there to study."

"Those who are of Indian descent...those are..."

The two came to the teaching building together, but Yue Shan was not there, saying that he had gone to the palace.Feng Hongnian took him to Ouyang Tong to go through the admission procedures.

……

Let’s say that Yue Shan came all the way to Taiji Palace, and the first thing he said when he saw Li Chengqian was: "Your son is too shameful. He is so old that he still plays the trick of running away from home. Just go, and abduct my son too." gone."

The black line on Li Chengqian's forehead: "Don't beat me up, he is my son by blood, and he grew up with you since he was a child, so you should be responsible. I haven't looked for you yet, but I'm the one to blame."

Yue Shan said: "I was teaching him before he was 20 years old. Didn't he learn government affairs from you these past few years? He didn't run away after studying with me for 20 years, but he ran away after studying with you for five years. Do you blame me for co-authoring?"

"Pull it down, I've been running away a lot during the years I've learned from you."

"If you haven't traveled abroad, can it be called running? That's called micro-service private visits to experience life."

"You still have the face to say that it's all the stinky faults you gave him. He is the prince, if there is a mistake, can you bear it?"

"I don't know if I can bear it or not. If you have the guts, try saying it in front of Lizhi."

"Do you think I'm stupid? You have the guts to say it in front of the queen."

The two quarreled loudly in the front hall, Li Lizhi and Wu Chang looked at each other in the next room, originally they wanted to ask them for a son, but now it's hard to say anything.

"Hey, why do you think this kid is going abroad when he's doing well? It's so dangerous."

"That's right, it must be influenced by that bastard Feng Yi."

"I heard that Feng Hongnian is studying in the academy, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, the father's debt is paid by the son..."

The two mothers didn't know that the two big men next door who were arguing loudly kept winking, and then they quarreled in the garden.

"Hey, what a pain." Li Chengqian glanced at the direction of the main hall and said helplessly.

"How obedient I was when I was young, I can do whatever I say, now..." Yue Shan sighed.

"Come on, it's not that I don't know that Lizhi and Shu'er listen to you more. It's only because they blush with you once when they were children that I feel sad." Li Chengqian said angrily:
"How nice it was when I was young, but now there is only a tigress, and I dare not accept a concubine."

Yue Shan said: "Hehe...it's for your own good, there is a knife on Sezi's head. Besides, you are so old that you may kick your legs someday. Don't harm other people's little girls."

tigress?Let's be content, at this time in the previous life, he was already the Queen of Heaven.

"By the way, Mother doesn't know about their going abroad, why don't you go and tell her old man." Li Chengqian said.

"Hey, the youngest son and eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old man. Now that the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson run away together, I don't know how the old lady got angry." Yue Shantou said loudly.

However, he did not reject Li Chengqian's suggestion. There must always be someone to talk about this kind of thing, and it is more appropriate to go by himself than Li Chengqian.

On the way to Yong'an Palace, I saw many people burying electric poles on the side of the road to repair street lights. I believe that Chang'an City will become the first city on earth to be electrified in a short time.

Seeing her eldest grandson Wugou, she was playing with several children, these children were all grandchildren of Li Chengqian.

Yue Shan carefully told her about Li Xiang taking Yue Qianshu abroad secretly.

The eldest grandson Wugou snorted coldly and said: "If you want to run, you can run. Anyway, with the grandson here, even if he dies outside, he doesn't worry that no one will inherit the throne."

"Uh, it's not as serious as you said." Yue Shan wiped off his cold sweat. The older the old lady, the more aggressive she became, and she spoke unceremoniously.

"Where is the saint, why didn't you see him come out?"

"Writing a book in the house, he feels that he has a few days to live, and wants to finish the book as soon as possible."

"..."

……

On the surface of the South China Sea, a fleet of eight warships of various types is heading west.

On the largest [-]-ton battleship in the fleet, Yue Qianshu was throwing up with a bucket in his arms, complaining while vomiting: "Wu Mingkong, I really fell for you."

Li Xiang didn't care about his complaints, and said, "Oh, didn't you listen to what Captain Cai said, the northerners are like this when they first board the ship, and they get used to spitting and spitting."

Yue Qianshu said: "You said it lightly, it wasn't you who vomited."

Li Xiang shrugged and said, "Physical problems, I can't help it."

At this time the door was knocked, Li Xiang said: "Come in."

An officer in his early thirties walked in. It was Cai Jing, the captain of the Guangdong battleship, and he was the eldest son of the naval general Cai Yang.

Naturally, Cai Jing knew the identities of the two of them. When he found out that the two were on his boat, he almost peed in fright, in a real sense.

One is the crown prince and the other is the eldest son of Yunzhong County King. If something goes wrong with either one, he cannot afford it.However, everyone had already boarded the boat, and it was too late for him to go back.

However, it has to be said that people who often deal with the ocean are courageous. After confirming that there is no room for turning back, he changed his mind.

If these two are well served, there will be a shortcut to Cai Jing that belongs to him.

"You two gentlemen, we have encountered a group of whales outside, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Whales? Xiaoshu, do you want to go and have a look?" Li Xiang said happily.

Yue Qianshu knew that diverting attention would make him feel better, so he said, "Let's go and have a look."

When the three of them came to Class A together, they saw a huge black and white whale chasing the battleship, jumping out of the water from time to time.

"This is a killer whale. According to Prince Yue, they are Mazu's sea guards and never hurt humans."

Li Xiang asked in surprise, "Really?"

Cai Jing said: "I don't know if the guards are true or not, but killer whales really don't hurt people. Someone fell off the boat once, and the killer whales not only didn't eat him, but also helped drive the sharks away. I have met them myself. Give me the meat you can't finish."

"Amazing."

"Yeah, so people who often go to sea will not harm killer whales, and rarely harm dolphins."

The ship sailed for a few more days, and Yue Qianshu finally passed the seasickness period, and could enjoy the thrills and excitement brought by ocean voyages.

Cai Jing also tried to curry favor with them in various ways, and this day he called the two of them to the deck again, saying that they were practicing shooting.

"This is the latest rifle. It uses metal fixed bullets, and the magazine can hold seven bullets. The gunpowder is the latest researched smokeless gunpowder, and the effective range is 400 meters."

From then on, the two got a new toy, and they played shooting on the boat "bang bang bang" when they had nothing to do.

The fleet sailed for nearly three months and finally reached its destination.

"My lords, we have arrived at our destination."

Li Xiang looked at the island in front of him with a telescope and said, "Is that the Irish island we bought with a hundred bolts of silk?"
