Chapter 217
Datang’s new territory is being built in an orderly manner, Eastern Europe is developing steadily, and Tangrencheng in the Middle East (the area belonging to the Tang Dynasty in Syria) is also prospering. It is built according to the standard of a commercial center, whether it is the Tang people, or the Byzantines, or even The big cannibals all like to come to Chinatown to do business.

Datang's silk, tea, porcelain, various daily necessities, and even food are sold in Tangrencheng. Although Yang Zheng did not deliberately develop industries, Datang now has many factories and produces many commodities.

Daily necessities such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. have been widely produced under the vigorous promotion of Yang Zheng, and are supervised by the environmental protection department. Now the pollution of these factories is not serious.Of course, these things belong to the Datang state-owned enterprise controlled by Li Shimin and Yang Zheng. Private production is strictly prohibited. Li Shimin does not allow others to get involved in such a profitable business.

These things are not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty, but in other countries, they are as magical as flying immortals.Therefore, these things sell very well in Chinatown, and the price is also high. A toothbrush costs [-] cents, a box of toothpaste costs [-] cents, and a bottle of shampoo costs an astonishing [-] cents. Return the money.All countries that can afford it are probably rich people, and ordinary people should forget about it.

Datang's silk, porcelain, tea, etc. sold outrageously, but they were still selling well, which shows how popular these advanced products are.

Business has brought huge profits to Tangrencheng, and the money has been transported back to Youzhou City in a steady stream. Li Shimin's mouth is almost at a loss. Some time ago, the resettlement of Eastern Europe almost emptied Li Shimin's treasury. Now it's all right, the government The treasury is filled again, and within two years, these expenditures can be made up for.

And Chinatown has also brought huge benefits to businessmen from other countries. Once these products produced by Tang Dynasty are sold back to their country, the price will be higher, so Chinatown has become a holy place in the minds of many businessmen. It can be said that Chinatown has driven countries China's economic development has brought huge tax revenues to all countries, which has actually allowed countries to start economic construction, and the original tense situation has been improved.

This naturally brought Datang an opportunity to stabilize and promote development. Except for Tubo, Datang now has very easy border crossings.

At this time, Emperor Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire sent an envoy to visit and invited envoys from the Tang Dynasty to visit the Byzantine Empire.

There is no doubt that Heraclius is inviting Yang Zheng to take Alice back in disguise.Li Shimin also agreed, and immediately asked Yang Zheng to form a mission to visit at a certain date.

Yang Zheng did not refuse. Now that he has increased exchanges with Byzantium, he can effectively cultivate a partner who can contain Dashi, Frank, and even other countries in the Eurasian plate. Byzantium has inherited a lot from the Roman Empire. If it develops well, it should be able to become stronger. Yes, Datang will vigorously develop its navy in the future, and Byzantium will also become an important naval base of Datang in the Mediterranean.

Among the members of the mission, Li Tai, a prince who loves astronomy and geography, is one of them. Li Tai is compiling the "Datang Geographical Journal" and is preparing to compile the "World Geographical Journal", so when he heard that he could go abroad for a visit, he immediately approached Yang Zheng Sign up.

Yang Zheng was also happy to agree to the fourth brother-in-law's request. If Li Tai can really complete these two masterpieces, it will definitely be a great achievement for Datang.

Changsun Huan also found Yang Zheng and asked to join the mission. As the second son of Changsun Wuji, this guy is quite normal and has outstanding abilities. Obviously, Changsun Wuji pinned all his hopes on him.Yang Zheng naturally couldn't refuse, so let's take him on a trip at public expense.

As for the other sons of officials who go through the back door and require to join the mission due to Cyprus relations, Yang Zheng is not so easy to talk to. The two daughters went back to see Heraclius. What was going on with these officials' children joining in the fun?

Back home, Yang Zheng told Alice the news and asked her to prepare.

Knowing that she was going back to Byzantium, Alice was very excited. After more than ten years, she could finally return to her hometown.How many times I have dreamed about it, but now I can fulfill my wish.

Other members of Prince Sai's Mansion also wanted to go, which made Yang Zheng a little embarrassed, and finally told everyone not to go, and gave Alice a decent itinerary.But Wu Meiniang, who just came back from the Ryukyu Islands, insisted on following her shamelessly, so Yang Zheng had no choice but to agree.

On April 637, 4 A.D., Yang Zheng set off from Youzhou City with the Tang Dynasty Mission, and started the itinerary to visit the Byzantine Empire.

In order to inspect the situation along the way, Yang Zheng did not use the space, and the mission moved slowly, inspecting and advancing.The route is to start from the province outside the Great Wall, then go around the Western Regions Province, pass through the country of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, then pass through Tocharia, pass Persia, go to Baghdad, and finally arrive at Tangren City and enter the Byzantine Empire.

The conditions along the way are quite good. The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. People from all over the country are working hard in the fields, and the growth of the crops is also very gratifying.

The gurgling river brings aura, nourishes the earth, and makes people's lives better.

The development of the province outside the Great Wall is fully driven by animal husbandry. The huge natural pastures are a paradise for livestock. There are as many as [-] million livestock slaughtered here every year, which makes the people outside the Great Wall really happy.

The arable land is also enough to feed the people outside the piston. Although the food production here is not as good as other places, it is still plentiful, especially the soybean production is very high. Soybean can not only be eaten by humans, but also by livestock. This is what distinguishes the livestock of King Sai place.

The fruits from the Western Regions Province feasted the eyes and mouths of the members of the mission. The grapes from the Western Regions are big and sweet, with plenty of sunshine, which is really the best fruit.The Lingquan also affected the growth of the grapes. In this season, the grapes have already matured.The grape industry has also driven the development of the wine industry. The wine produced in Yang Zheng's space is the grapes provided by the Western Regions, which has generated a lot of income for Yang Zheng.

Other industries in the Western Regions Province are also thriving. Agriculture and animal husbandry are developing steadily, and commerce is even more prosperous. People come and go on the Silk Road, and people are working hard for wealth.But with the Tang army stationed along the way, the Silk Road was extremely safe, and merchants could do business with peace of mind. The world is really good these days, and everyone is grateful for the kindness of Datang and Yang Zheng.

In the country with nine surnames in Zhaowu, Yang Zheng was also pleased to see that this place has made great progress. Thanks to its proximity to the Tang Dynasty, many industries here have benefited. The Silk Road also passed here, bringing business opportunities to the local area and promoting great economic development.

Animal husbandry breeds are continuously introduced from the Tang Dynasty, and farming production is also making great strides. The living standards of the people of the nine surnames of Zhaowu are improving rapidly, and their physical fitness is improving day by day. , The people of the nine surnames of Zhaowu live a good life without worrying about the threat of war.

Entering Tocharian, this change is also great, and the population is developing rapidly. In order to absorb the population, Tocharian Zhongwang Bahan introduced a series of preferential policies. Anyone who has become a Tocharian nationality will be issued 10 guan as soon as he is naturalized. Money as security expenses.So many people came from some countries around Tocharian. For example, the three brothers from Tianzhu were very willing to live in Tocharian. Even some Tibetans came here after hearing the news and joined the Tocharian nationality.Persians and Turks also joined, so the composition of the Tocharians is very complicated now, it is simply a multinational force.And there are many Tocharian women who gave birth to the descendants of the Fusang people. There are really all kinds of people here.

Of course, most people in Tang Dynasty were unwilling to join Tocharian, and this boy Pull Khan made another trick: recognize dual nationality, let Tang people retain their Datang nationality, and join Tocharian nationality.As soon as this move was made, many Tang people also joined. Of course, this was also supported by Datang. In order to allow these places to develop rapidly, Datang really worked hard.

The situation in Persia is slightly worse. The area is too large and the population increase is too small. Now Persia has a population of less than 80, which is really unsatisfactory.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing used his relationship to make many Tang Jun marry Persian women, leaving a lot of seeds for the Persians. Given time, it can still be expected.

The agricultural and animal husbandry economy in Persia is still developing smoothly. At least now, the Persians have basically solved the problem of food and clothing, so their enthusiasm for building a country is unprecedentedly high, and because of their contacts with the Tang people, many people in Persia have begun to believe in Taoism.It is very easy for the Persians and Tang people to connect.

Entering Baghdad, the delegation was completely attracted by the new Baghdad.This is a building complex in the Tang Dynasty style. It straddles the Tigris River. Space springs flow in the Tigris River (Baghdad section), giving the whole city a different feeling.

The construction here is largely dependent on the Tang people, so the development is more rapid. The agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce are booming. Coupled with the radiation effect of China City, Baghdad City has also poured in people from all over the world, which has brought opportunities for urban development.

In order to better control these areas, Yang Zheng sent a lot of space humans out. These people are absolutely loyal to Yang Zheng, so Baghdad is now firmly controlled by Yang Zheng.

Almost all the cities along this route were radiated by the Silk Road and benefited a lot.And when everyone came to Chinatown, the prosperity here simply dazzled everyone!

People come and go, almost crowded Chinatown, and there are a lot of goods. This is simply a large secondary wholesale market in ancient times.

If you look into any shop, there are voices of bargaining, and there are all kinds of distinctive Chinese. Now you want to do business with Tang people, and you will definitely be despised if you don’t know Chinese.

And the business transactions are constantly changing. This city, which was taken advantage of by Datang, is simply a money-making machine.

On the streets, the heavily armed Chinatown People's Police Guard carefully patrolled the streets, giving Chinatown a solid sense of security.

"Okay, tonight we will rest in Chinatown, everyone, let's take a good look around this city." Yang Zheng ordered, and everyone cheered. It is indeed difficult to find such a prosperous city outside Datang, although This is also the territory of the Great Tang, but it is too far away from the Great Tang. It is really unexpected that it can develop like this.

Li Tai and Changsun Huan, two old cousins, went shopping accompanied by guards, and Wu Meiniang also took Alice, Sanya, and Wuya to go shopping under the guard of Ashinasheer.

Yang Zheng shook his head, come on, he is now a loner, let's go to Tang Dynasty Hotel to rest.
