Chapter 673

Europe, Mediterranean.

Because of the Suez Canal, the whole Europe began to show a "strange" enthusiasm. With the news of the excavation of the Suez Canal, the expectation of Chinese silk, tea and porcelain ignited the whole Europe. However, when this blood cools down, European countries have to start thinking about a realistic problem. That is, it will take at least 20 years for Suez to be successfully navigable and put into operation. During this period, only merchants in Central Asia could purchase silk, porcelain, tea and other related products from China through the land silk road. But compared with the despairing price and the huge demand of European countries, silk from land trade is still in short supply.

Therefore, we can understand the expectations of European countries towards the Suez Canal.

Compared with the European countries that began to shrink their clothing and diet after their blood cooled down, Tang, a dragon country in the Mediterranean Sea, is on the basis of its prosperity. Every year, a steady stream of money from European transportation was directly digested by the Tang people, such as purchasing domestic food and digging River tools. Stimulated by money, it not only revitalized agriculture, which was even more sluggish. At the same time, the manufacturing industry, industry and Commerce and other industries, also stimulated by money, become more and more prosperous.

People's living standards began to rise gradually, and the government collected more and more taxes, so the internal construction and consolidation began. The so-called take from the people, use for the people; On this point, the Tang government really did. The monarch did not use the national tax to build luxurious and exquisite palaces and gardens, but began to use it to transform cities, roads and water conservancy projects. Especially in the mountainous areas in the past, because of the rugged mountain roads, these places were undoubtedly extremely backward compared with other cities and regions of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, although the government intended to improve the road conditions in the mountainous areas and revitalize the economic vitality there, it still could not get through the mountainous areas with huge amount of money every year. But now it's different. Because of the excavation progress of the Suez Canal, the Tang people have won over a large number of allies. The money flowing into the Tang people's pockets every year to digest the more and more accumulated materials inside them, and stimulate a series of industries related to enriching the country and strengthening the people, such as manufacturing and agriculture. With the increase of taxes, the government is extremely rich in finance every year. Therefore, the current Tang government has enough confidence and money to dare to implement large-scale engineering construction and renovation projects on the land of the whole country.

As a result, a decree from the central government began to be passed on one by one. The financial department is busy all day, settling the balance of the national treasury, making various budgets, and taking actions against corruption at the same time. In addition, improvement plans for mountainous cities and villages have also begun. In China, workers are recruited, various materials are purchased, and engineers go to various places for coastal exploration and planning. In the following year, a large-scale road construction and reconstruction was started in some mountainous areas, and in the third year, the reconstruction action involving the national mountainous areas was carried out vigorously.

The residents living in the mountainous areas are naturally cheering leaping birds. There are not too many plains there. There are only a few places with plains where food is grown, and other areas are still surrounded by mountains and rolling hills. No matter in which era, contemporary farmers naturally value food most. Because of the scarcity of plains, some mountain residents have a very thin share of land. But there are still a large number of people who cannot share the land.

Although the terraced fields were planted differently, the terraced fields on the mountains were still inferior to those on the plains. Although many farmers grow economic crops to improve their lives, the annual inflow of food from other provinces still makes them feel insecure. Because the roads are blocked and difficult to walk, businessmen are reluctant to go to those places, and the way the government transports grain, even if it is sold to the families who are short of grain at a very low price, is still a drop in the bucket compared with the growing population.

Now all this will be different, because the road is about to be repaired, and once the road is opened, it will revitalize all parts of the country. It also means that all kinds of commodities from other provinces can enter in a faster and more convenient way. In this way, people's living standards will inevitably improve, and commodities and materials will inevitably show diversified effects. And people in mountainous areas want to go out, which will be more convenient than before. At the same time, their goods can also enter the outside world in a faster and more unimpeded way. Then, before long, their overall living standard will certainly become higher, and at the same time, they will gradually move towards affluence.

Although the people of the Tang Dynasty gave the European countries the impression that they were extremely rich, only the people of the Tang Dynasty knew it. The rich are just coastal cities, plain areas and a few hilly areas. However, in the vast mountains and marshes, forests and other areas surrounded by harsh natural conditions. The people there are generally poor, although their lives are rich compared with those in European countries. But compared with the prosperous areas, they are still very poor.

In the past, there was no way for the country, and the witches cultivated by the Tang Dynasty did not completely enter all aspects of society. It was not well known by the general public. Therefore, the impression that the wizard gave to the Tang people was still mysterious. However, for the monarch and the center, they are not mysterious. On the contrary, they are active in the central government, loyal to the monarch, the country and the people. However, although Jiangning has handed down a lot of magic, there is no wizard who can really use magic to transform the national environment on a large scale. At most, they can only use their own meager mana to improve the terrain that is not too complex. However, when it comes to large-scale reconstruction of the whole country, they are unable to cope with it.

Most of these young witches who have completed their studies are devoted to serving the country with passion. Because, in the process of their learning, the government has been giving them strong support.

At the same time, the magic world in Tang Dynasty was called "wizard world" by themselves, which was the name of European countries. The Witches of the Tang Dynasty were always in the witchcraft circle of their own country. They were responsible for making up the loopholes everywhere, strengthening the border, and preventing the witches from Europe from wantonly entering or doing havoc. On the other hand, they also shoulder the responsibility of serving all regions, the government and the army. We are committed to fighting against magic crimes, and at the same time, we are committed to solving diseases and disasters that may arise.

However, more efforts are made to prevent foreign witches from coming. Because, compared with the secular world, the magic world of the Tang Dynasty is really vast and sparsely populated. There are not many people in such a big land. There are many kinds of magical biological activities in the open field. Therefore, the witches in Tang Dynasty should not only guard against the foreign witches and maintain the stability of the secular world, but also shoulder the responsibility of catching and catching all kinds of magical creatures and causing all kinds of disasters when they enter the secular world.

Therefore, it has always been thought that the Witches of the Tang Dynasty were never stable from young to old. Fortunately, the Tang government treated these people with supernatural power, but they had been serving the country silently. The financial care and various material subsidies have never stopped, which is also a great proof that the wizard and ordinary people have been able to work together in peace!
