Journey of the Infinite Wizard

What they saw and heard along the way shocked the Frankish mission.

They have never seen such a prosperous and stable village and town, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. Compared with Europe at the same time, Jiang Ning's governance philosophy is too advanced.

However, he did not blindly improve his technological capabilities, and the talent pool of the Tang people is almost empty so far! Even craftsmen who specialize in smelting weapons are a very small number of people. They are uneducated and illiterate.

The craftsmanship is mostly inherited from the ancestors, coupled with practice makes perfect and a certain amount of smelting knowledge.

But these have not been officially, purposefully guided and organized!

The smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty was world-leading. Composite steel technology is mostly used, but because of its high manufacturing cost, it is destined that Tang Dao can only be equipped with a small number of people, plus human factors such as the subsequent wars. It has to be said that it is a great pity that the unparalleled smelting process has been lost. Later generations can only learn about the glory of Tang Dao from history books.

In fact, many crafts in China have been lost. There are many reasons, all kinds of excellent skills, because of the idea of ​​self-cherishing, passing on to men but not to women, etc., eventually leading to loss of transmission. In addition, the government has no awareness of this aspect, and many excellent skills have disappeared without a trace.

No matter from ancient times to the present, there have been such situations.

At that time, people didn't realize this, maybe they were aware of it, but they were powerless to change it. Only after later generations discover that a certain skill recorded in history books has been lost can they feel that kind of regret, but by this time it is already too late.

It has to be said that it is a pity!

...

After settling in Tangzhou, in order for the ethnic group to survive better, necessary learning is indispensable.

It would be unrealistic to say that all Chinese and Jews in China can read and write. At a certain age, it is very difficult to learn from scratch.

It can only be cultivated from the generation that has not yet grown up, and finally achieve a virtuous circle.

Although the governance concept is very advanced. But Jiang Ning is still facing a problem today, which is the problem of talents. There are more than 300,000 Tang Chinese and Jews, and there are not many qualified officials at all.

For such a situation, it can only be tolerated temporarily.

Fortunately, now in these two islands,

It has a population of just over 300,000, which is not much. There are even very few, relatively speaking, very few officials are needed.

Therefore, after Jiang Ning inspected a group of Tang people and Jews, he granted them official positions. Afterwards, a literacy campaign was carried out for them. These people were also very upbeat and studied hard. Although it is not very qualified now, it can be considered competent for handling some small things.

Although very rich, this situation of no talent available is still very embarrassing. Many things require him, the monarch, and Elizabeth to do it himself.

Otherwise, if you want to pass an order, there is no suitable messenger.

At the same time, in order to avoid the loss of current advanced technology. Jiang Ning specially made a book, which records all aspects of knowledge and content, and printed it in large numbers and stored it in the library inside the palace.

When there are enough talents in the future, the books in the library can be used, and there is the potential for large-scale publication.

In the current Tang Dynasty, there are very few literate people. These people can't finish reading all kinds of books of various kinds and huge numbers. Moreover, many books need to be suitable for people who specialize in this type of academic research.

For example, the book of smelting edited by Jiang Ning. So he compiled a thick book with the smelting methods handed down from the Tang Dynasty in China, plus the smelting technology of the Arabs and the knowledge content provided by Jiang Ning.

He plans to gradually pass it on to blacksmiths in this area at that time.

At the same time, in order to avoid the loss of some advanced technologies in the future. He also instituted laws for the special official recording of such technical and academic disciplines. Ensure that advanced things will not be lost, so that future generations can only remember from history.

At the same time, Jiang Ning was in the palace, waiting for the upcoming first Frankish mission to Western Europe.

...

Baptiste and his entourage, under the escort of the Tang cavalry, marched towards the inland capital area.

What they learned along the way changed the views of these Franks.

Many things of the Tang people are too advanced, advanced skills that Europa does not have and does not have.

For example, Europa has not yet mastered the technology of taming cattle. Farming also only uses horses, but they witnessed with their own eyes that farmers in the Tang Dynasty drove cattle to plow in the fields.

But the cow followed behind the farmer very honestly, not at all irritable, and extremely docile.

This surprised Baptiste, although he wanted to ask how the Tang people tamed the cattle. But because of the heavily armed elite knights around him, Baptiste didn't have the courage to step forward, so he could only spy from a distance. However, due to the distance, he did not see the nose ring on the cow's nose.

Agriculture in Europe during this period was quite primitive, and it was completely incomparable with China in the same period. They don't understand at all what deep plowing is, they just turn over the land and then sprinkle seeds without asking. As for the harvest, it depends entirely on God's arrangement.

Although I am surprised that the cattle were tamed by the Tang people. However, Baptiste does not have the vision to see the importance of cattle to farming society.

Europeans don't pay much attention to cattle, because they don't have the technology to tame cattle, so they don't pay much attention to cattle.

After taking a glance from a distance, he turned his eyes away and began to enjoy the beautiful field scenery to his heart's content. Although he had never been to Sardinia, Europeans at this time would not think that Sardinia, which is also part of the European territory, has anything worth paying attention to. In their eyes, this is a remote island, a rural place, just like the British Isle separated by the sea.

Perhaps it was because of Tang Ren's brilliant deeds that after Baptiste came here, he looked at Tang Ren's rural fields. It feels so beautiful and peaceful here.

One after another, the fields are neatly planned, and the trails built between the fields look so pleasing to the eye. In addition, there are countless cattle, sheep and horses in the hilly pastures in the distance. This scene looks like a beautiful natural picture scroll. Because of population factors, there are not many towns. In addition, Jiangning expelled hundreds of thousands of aborigines, so that more than 300,000 Tang people were scattered on the land with an area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers, which is extremely thin.

Thousands of miles of uninhabited people is probably the best explanation!

...

Finally, after a quick rush, the Frankish mission finally approached the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xiandu!

For this strangely pronounced name, Baptiste specifically asked the Tang cavalry escorted by his entourage. The centurion said that the great wizard king was an immortal (god) from the sky, and the palace where he lived was called the fairy palace (sacred temple). The city where immortals live is naturally called Xiandu (Shendu)!

Baptiste really wanted to refute the rampant behavior of this group of heretics. But reason told him that if he dared to do this, he would end up miserable. Then he abruptly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

I would like to see, how is your so-called god capital (immortal capital)? Baptiste thought so.

...

"What a huge and magnificent city!"

Baptiste and his accompanying missionary staff, together with dozens of cavalry escorting them, stood on a hill and looked at the huge city standing on the plain in front of them.

The high city walls, the river running through the city, and the magnificent palace that seems to stand above the clouds. This scene, like a fairy tale, was presented in the eyes of the Frankish mission.

Europa, has there ever been such a magnificent building?

Never before has there been such a wonderful layout and an architectural style that embodies a sense of strength everywhere. And the palace inlaid with gold under the sunlight?

The wonderful city, the greenery and flowers that can be seen everywhere, coupled with the hustle and bustle of the city, have contributed to an exquisite and beautiful picture.

"drive!"

With constant urging in my heart, I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity and excitement. Kicking the horse's belly hard, the war horse snorted dissatisfiedly, moved its hooves, and ran towards the city ahead.
