Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 668: The Current Situation of the Tang People

In another special parallel time and space, the original Tyrrhenian Sea region of the Mediterranean Sea, which later belonged to Italy's Sardinia, Sicily and a large piece of land in the south, Naples and even Corsica, all disappeared without a trace. Instead, it is a complete island land. This land with an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers has attracted attention from Europe, North Africa, and even Central Asia since its birth that year.

Every year, people who come here admiringly take up the map of the four islands of that year and compare it with the land under their feet. I am fascinated by the miraculous upheaval that has been spread. There are too many legends and stories in this land, and every one of them is like a reappearance of a fairy tale. However, these things that seem to be like fairy tales actually appear in the eyes of everyone. Naturally, people are full of indescribable and unique affection towards this land full of legends and miracles.

As for the Tang people who rule this magical land and also have legendary experiences, many curious countries and people also have a special affection for these Tang people that is difficult to describe in detail. In short, this big island is like ancient Egypt, attracting the yearning of all surrounding countries. Although in history, it is far behind ancient Egypt, but in the current era it is a well-deserved spoiled child and superstar. Belonging to the superstar of the dark medieval era, everything about it is just like China's influence in East Asia. What's more, the decisive battle decades ago defeated the invasion of the Fatimid Dynasty and the Abbasid Dynasty, and established Majesty and the hegemony of the Mediterranean in one fell swoop, which has been maintained until now.

But now, after decades of development, the population of the Tang people has grown from a mere three million at the beginning to nearly ten million at the current stage. Such a population size really shocked the continent of Europa! A huge population not only means that the country is rich in human resources, but also represents taxes and wealth, and more importantly, represents vital military power and war potential.

What's more, the Tang people have maintained several standing armies so far, including 30,000 soldiers in the army, 10,000 in the navy, and a total of 40,000 troops. This is an important reason why he continues to spread his influence to the outside world. What's more, in the slightly larger bathtub of the Mediterranean Sea, merchant ships belonging to the Tang people traveled between Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, and sold their own domestic products to the above-mentioned areas. Then, the goods purchased from the above-mentioned areas are returned to the domestic market for sale, and the back and forth have brought huge profits.

Such achievements are enviable and enviable, and for this reason, pirates are rampant in the Mediterranean Sea. Most of them are the result of the secret support and encouragement of various countries, and a single country is completely unable to conduct normal commercial competition with the Tang people. But if they all join forces to engage in unfair business discrimination and competition, they will face the threat of force from the Tang people. Under normal circumstances, no one would really want to provoke this 'Mediterranean dragon'. After all, the opponent's population was nearly ten million. Once provoked, the potential for war would be enough to frighten the entire European continent.

What's more, they are even more unwilling to fight with the Tang people when they are surrounded by heretics. Once this is the case, no matter who wins in the end, it will only be those damned heretics who are cheap.

And the Tang people also know that their trade policy treats European countries,

It seems very problematic. Their productivity and innovation capabilities are obviously very advanced compared to Continental. Their products and clothing have always been the object of imitation and pursuit by Continental, but the products produced by the other party have always been lacking in interest. But there is one thing, that is, on the land of the Tang people, there is no shortage of economic resources, but certain mineral resources are extremely scarce. This is due to the scarcity of resources caused by their own land, such as silver, copper and iron. Most of the minerals mined by the Tang people are minerals with small reserves. Some minerals with high quality, high quality and large reserves are mostly buried deep in the mountains, and the cost of mining is very high. Therefore, in order to make the trade surplus between each other and maintain a relatively stable angle, the Tang people can only purchase a large amount of mineral resources from the above-mentioned countries.

Or it can be used to make various agricultural tools, weapons and armor, or it can be buried and sealed on the spot. As an island country not rich in resources, it is unknown when people in Tang have this sense of urgency. However, the trade of the Tang people is not all about purchasing these raw materials. The Tang people are also interested in some things in Europe and North Africa. The investigation groups or expeditions organized by the Tang people frequently enter the above-mentioned areas to investigate the local environment and draw in secret. Maps and other things are all done by them. However, after some investigation, the results disappointed the people of Tang Dynasty.

Because after traveling to the above-mentioned areas in person, they were greatly disappointed with the environment there, especially when compared with their own country, the sense of deficit that appeared made Tang people even less interested in Europe. Compared with the people in this country, the life in Europe is too bad, and some places are also relatively poor in resources, and even far inferior to them. Their food and some cultures are even more vulgar, so the Tang people gradually lost their enthusiasm for exploring the European continent and became somewhat isolated.

At the same time, the people of Tang undoubtedly seemed to understand the big cannibal better. Compared with white Europeans, big cannibals undoubtedly appear more civilized. The commodities they produced, etc., were also pursued by the people of Tang Dynasty. In particular, their smelting technology appears to be excellent to a certain extent. This point was secretly learned by the people of the Tang Dynasty and spread domestically to improve it. As for the luxury goods in the tropics, the Tang people also need them very much, and they import a large amount of luxury goods from the local area back to China every year.

Especially when it comes to spices and honey, Tang people have a great demand. The increase in population and the gradual diversification of food culture led the Tang people to pursue more and more spices, but their land suitable for planting was very small, coupled with climate problems. It cannot be as sweet as the fruits in the tropics, and the spices grown always feel inferior. However, the big cannibal's site can transport spices, fruits and other luxury wood from Southeast Asia through overseas trade, and then sell them to Europe and the land of the Tang people. The eating habits and other behaviors of the Tang people indirectly led to Europe.

Originating from their particularity and the sanctity of the monarch's family, Ou Lu obviously has another unique psychological factor in treating them. Just like admiring China back then, admiring them is like admiring France in the future. Even the King of France's baldness had to wear a wig, which is enough to trigger a trend in Europe for the same reason.

After the people of Tang settled down, it was natural that there would be a wave of cultural export to the outside world. They exported ideas and some advanced technologies, together with religion, abroad. Unlike other foreigners entering other lands and obeying local customs and habits, the people of Tang or Huaxia have always made foreigners submit to themselves. In the end, after these foreigners entered the Central Plains, they were gradually assimilated.

But the Tang people are currently very experienced in doing this kind of thing with ease. .
