Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Europe, Mediterranean.

Because of the Suez Canal, the whole of Europe began to show a "weird" enthusiasm. The expectations for Chinese silk, tea and porcelain, along with the news of the Suez Canal's excavation, ignited the whole of Europe. However, when this enthusiasm cooled down, European countries had to start thinking about a practical issue. That is, it will take at least twenty years for Suez to be successfully navigated and put into use. During this period, only merchants located in Central Asia could go to China to purchase silk, porcelain, tea and other related products through the overland Silk Road. But compared to the almost desperate price and the huge demand of European countries, the supply of silk through land trade is still in short supply.

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

Compared with the continental European countries that started shrinking their clothes and dieting and gritted their teeth after their blood cooled down, Tang, the kingdom of dragons entrenched in the Mediterranean Sea, has improved to a higher level on the basis of its prosperity. The continuous flow of funds transported from Europe every year was directly digested by the people of Tang Dynasty, and the purchase of domestic grain and tools for digging rivers, etc., was stimulated by money, which not only revitalized the increasingly sluggish agriculture. At the same time, industries such as manufacturing, industry and commerce have also become more prosperous under the stimulation of money.

The living standards of the people began to rise gradually, and the government collected more and more taxes, so the large-scale internal construction and reorganization began. The so-called take from the people and use it for the people; on this point, the Tang government has really done it. Instead of using the national tax to create luxurious and exquisite palace gardens, the monarch began to spend it on the renovation of cities, roads and water conservancy projects. Especially in the mountainous areas in the past, because of the rugged mountain roads, compared with other cities and regions of the Tang Dynasty, these places were undoubtedly extremely backward places.

Although the previous government was determined to improve the road conditions in the mountainous areas and revitalize the economic vitality there, in the face of huge amounts of money, the annual investment still failed to open up the mountainous areas. But it’s different now, because of the progress of the Suez Canal’s excavation, the Tang people have attracted a large number of allies, and all the funds for the river repair that flow in every year flow into the pockets of the Tang people, which are used to digest the materials accumulated in them and stimulate the manufacturing industry. , agriculture and a series of related industries that make the country rich and the people strong. The increase in taxes has made the government's finances extremely rich every year. Therefore, the current Tang government has enough confidence and money to dare to carry out large-scale construction and renovation projects on land across the country.

Therefore, a decree from the central government began to be communicated to various places. The financial department is busy all day long, settling the balance of the national treasury, making various budgets, and at the same time, anti-corruption and anti-corruption actions are also carried out. Improvement plans for mountainous cities and mountain villages in various places have also begun, recruiting workers in the country, purchasing various materials, and engineers going to various places for coastal exploration and planning. And in the following year, a part of the mountainous area began a large-scale construction of road construction and reconstruction, and in the third year, this reconstruction operation involving mountainous areas across the country was launched vigorously.

Residents living in mountainous areas are naturally cheering, because they don't have too many plains. Only a few places have plains,

For growing food, other areas are still surrounded by mountains and rolling hills. No matter what era it is in, contemporary farmers naturally value food the most. Because of the scarcity of plains, some mountain residents receive very little land for each household. But there are still most people who cannot get the land.

Although alternative terraced fields have been planted, compared with the plains, the terraced fields on the hills are still not as good as the plains. Although many farmers grow cash crops to improve their lives, the annual influx of food from other provinces still makes them feel insecure. Because of the impassable roads and the difficulty of walking, businessmen are reluctant to go to those places, and the way the government transports food, even if it is sold at a very low price to families who are short of food, is still a drop in the bucket compared to the gradually growing population. .

But now all this will be different, because the road is about to be repaired, and once the road is connected, it will revitalize all places. It also means that various commodities from other provinces can be entered in a faster and more convenient way. In this way, people's living standards will inevitably improve, and commodities and materials will inevitably show a diversified effect. And people in mountainous areas want to go out, it will be more convenient than before, and their goods can also enter the outside world in a faster and smoother way. Then, before long, their overall standard of living must become higher, and at the same time they will gradually become richer.

Although the people of Tang gave the European countries the impression that they were incomparably rich, but only the people of Tang knew it. The rich are just the cities along the coast, the areas on the plains, and a few hilly areas. However, in areas surrounded by harsh natural conditions such as vast mountains, swamps, and forests. The people there are generally poor, although their lives are considered rich compared to European countries. But compared with the prosperous areas everywhere, they still look extremely poor.

In the past, the country had no choice, and the wizards cultivated by the Tang people did not completely and thoroughly enter all aspects of society. It is also not well known to the general public, so the impression of the wizard on the Tang people is still mysterious. However, for the monarch and the center, they are not mysterious. On the contrary, they are active in the central government, serving the monarch, serving the country and the people. However, although Jiang Ning has passed down many spells, there are no wizards who can really use spells to transform the country's environment on a large scale. At most, they can only use their meager mana to improve the terrain that is not too complicated in a certain place. However, when it comes to large-scale reforms across the country, they are stretched and beyond their capabilities.

Most of these young wizards who have completed their studies are full of enthusiasm and serve the country wholeheartedly. Because, in the process of their learning, the government has been giving them great support.

At the same time, the magic world in the Tang country is called the "wizard world" by themselves, and the magic world is the name of European countries. The wizards of the Tang people have always been in the wizarding world of their country, responsible for filling the loopholes everywhere, strengthening the barriers, and preventing wizards from the European continent from entering or wreaking havoc. On the other hand, they also shoulder the responsibility of serving the localities, the government, and the army. Committed to combating magical crimes, and at the same time committed to solving the plague and other diseases and disasters that may emerge.

However, more efforts are being made to prevent foreign wizards from messing around. Because, compared with the secular world, the magical world of the Tang people is truly vast and sparsely populated. There are not many people on the huge land, and all kinds of magical creatures are active in the open wilderness. Therefore, the wizards of the Tang Dynasty not only had to guard against the chaos of foreign wizards and maintain the stability of the secular world, but also shouldered the responsibility of catching and hunting all kinds of disasters caused by various magical creatures who strayed into the secular world.

Therefore, it has always been thought that the wizards of the Tang Dynasty have never been stable from young to old. Fortunately, the Tang government treats those people who have supernatural powers but have been silently serving the country with extremely preferential treatment. The financial care and various material subsidies have never been cut off. This is also a great proof that wizards and ordinary people can live in peace and work together!
