Chapter 628

More and more people poured into Chang'an City, which was a great test for Chang'an city. The new year's Eve Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year was just an appetizer for Chang'an City, and the military parade was a big meal.

The Lantern Festival on New Year's Eve was just an influx of people from Luoyang or other surrounding counties. This time, the people of the whole Tang Dynasty heard the news. However, in half a month, 200000 people poured into Chang'an City, and many people were still on the road and kept coming to Chang'an city. There were an endless stream of carriages in and out of the main gates of Chang'an city.

Fortunately, Merton got a large number of horses from Tuyuhun and put them into the market. In addition, four-wheel carriages sell well. Otherwise, they really can't support such a strong flow of people.

Many people obviously feel that the whole Chang'an city is crowded at once, but it is a huge business opportunity for merchants in Chang'an city. Most of the people who have time to go to Chang'an city to watch the military parade are rich people. These people come to Chang'an City for food, drink, housing and use. All kinds of expenses are not a small amount, and many people earn a lot of money.

In any dynasty, the capital city is the center of the world. In particular, all the main roads in Chang'an City have been paved with brick roads, clean and tidy streets, an endless stream of four-wheel buses and magnificent buildings. Compared with the dilapidated and messy of other cities, they are very different. They immediately conquer everyone who comes to Chang'an city.

"This is the prosperous age!" a white haired old man got out of the carriage and saw Chang'an city. His heart was shocked and whispered.

"It's a worthwhile trip. Before that, we only heard about the grandeur of Chang'an city. Now we get what we want. It's really worthy of our reputation." the companion on the side looked straight.

Compared with the small town where they live, compared with Chang'an City, it is just the countryside, and the original sense of superiority suddenly disappeared.

"After I return home this time, I will certainly play the county magistrate at the meeting and follow the example of Chang'an city to govern the county." the white haired old man said firmly. Almost everyone who arrives in Chang'an City has this idea. It is naturally impossible for them to stay in Chang'an city. The only way is to change their county.

"Three years ago, I came to Chang'an city to take the exam. Chang'an city is still a dirt road. Today, Chang'an City has become unrecognizable." on the other carriage, several dusty Confucian scholars came down. Looking at the greatly changed Chang'an City, they couldn't help sighing.

"This is the work of our Confucianism in governing the world, so we just have this image of great harmony." a younger Confucian student came to Chang'an City for the first time and couldn't help exclaiming.

The coachman on the side couldn't help laughing and said, "the young man laughed. The four-wheel carriage you took was made by mojiazi, the brick road you stepped on was pioneered by mojiazi, and the bus running on the street was proposed by mojiazi,......"

With the coachman telling one by one, the young Confucian students immediately blushed. It seems that the transformation of Chang'an city is almost the credit of Mohism.

"Also, from your point of view, Chang'an city is already the best city in the world. That's because you haven't seen the urban planning map of Mojia village, otherwise you will find that Chang'an city still has a lot to improve." the coachman looked at the people like a steamed stuffed bun, drank loudly and drove away.

Both the Confucian scholars and the old men in white couldn't help looking at each other. They didn't expect that they were despised by a coachman. In particular, the expression of the coachman when he left made them very uncomfortable.

………………

It was not only ordinary people who were conquered by Chang'an city. With the close proximity of time, tribal leaders and foreign missions arrived in Chang'an city one after another.

"This is Chang'an City?"

When the leaders of Southwest bureaucrats entered Chang'an City, they immediately looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, stretched out their necks and stared round.

Originally, they were ordinary tribal leaders. They only dominate one-third of their acre on weekdays, just like frogs at the bottom of a well. Now they came to Chang'an City, traveled thousands of miles, saw the magnificent territory and countless population, and their original sense of superiority suddenly disappeared.

One by one, they couldn't help looking at each other. Their faces were uncertain. They carefully compared the strength of their own tribes with that of Datang. Even if a group of tribes combined, they would die.

"Fortunately..."

Many bureaucrats can't help but rejoice that it was not their own tribe that rebelled.

"Eh! I didn't think there were people with short hair in Chang'an city." a young tribal leader surprised a common people who cut hair and cured head lice in the street.

"How can it be that the Han people attach great importance to hair ornaments, and how can they easily break their hair." an elderly tribal leader was unconvinced.

"Really!" a group of tribal leaders found that more and more people with short hair were surprised.

Most of the Liao tribes live in the south. The weather is hot. Many provocative people have short hair, and even many leaders have short hair. Now I see many people with short hair in Chang'an City, and I can't help being close to them.

Moreover, they found that the short hair of the people in Chang'an city was more shaped, but it was much better than their randomly cut hair, so they were greatly moved.

The carriage went all the way and soon came to Honglu temple.

"You will live in Honglu temple for the time being and wait for the arrangement of the imperial court to participate in the military parade on time." a small official of Honglu temple said arrogantly.

At the moment, none of the leaders who are domineering in the tribe is angry. Instead, they smile and say, "this senior official, we also admire Chang'an City for a long time. I wonder if we can visit Chang'an city."

The official of Honglu temple said impatiently, "it's natural. You can walk by yourself. You just need to come back before the curfew."

"Visit by yourself?" a leader said discontentedly, pointing to the Hu delegation led by officials of Honglu temple, "then why are they accompanied by special personnel?"

The official of Honglu Temple looked at the head in surprise and said, "they are Hu people and you are Tang people. Do you want their treatment?"

"Tang people?" a surprised feeling suddenly rose in the hearts of the leaders. They have always refused to accept the imperial court. Naturally, they did not expect that the imperial court still treats them as their own people.

"Your Majesty has a broad mind, which we admire!" a group of tribal leaders immediately convinced.

A group of tribal leaders understand that the leadership of Honglu Temple seems to have a noble status, but it is actually like surveillance, and Li Shimin allows them to move around by themselves, which is a kind of trust.

So, in the envious eyes of envoys from western countries, a group of officials and leaders proudly walked out of the gate of Honglu temple and enjoyed the prosperity of Chang'an city.

Of course, the first thing they do is to cut a nice flat head.

The leaders of the Northwest Dangxiang and the Western Qiang are treated the same as the leaders of the bureaucrats. As for the envoys of various countries, they are not treated so well. They are accompanied by special personnel wherever they go. Although they do not interfere with freedom, it's hard to feel like walking with each other.
