Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　"Okay, let's try it quickly, it seems that we dig a hole and dig into the ground." Lu Xiu smiled.

　　The sharp claws of both hands can easily scrape a layer of soil.

　　Lu Xiu found that in front of the mole's claws, the mud he had known had become unobstructed.

　　Lu Xiu simply burrowed into the ground and dug down along the surface of the soil.

　　When Lu Xiu drilled into the ground several meters deep, he found that his eyes were dark, and his eyes were useless. He could only rely on smell and magnetic field to distinguish the direction.

　　Digging around in the slightly soft soil, although it is a novel experience, it is not as interesting as going to the sea and flying into the sky.

　　Half an hour later, Lu Xiu and the others emerged from the soil.

　　"Bah, it's covered in dirt, and it feels like it's not fun in the dirt." Xiao Xiao said.

　　"Yeah, the ground is very stuffy and dark. How can I put it, it's not as good as Shanghai." Qinghe didn't think so.

　　Apart from the novelty of digging a hole, there is nothing special about it.

　　After experiencing a retreat, the girls were basically reluctant to become moles.

　　When Li Zhi expressed her feelings, it also put an end to Li Yuan's desire to experience it.Originally, Lu Xiu actually forgot himself, and he was quite complaining in his heart.

　　Lu Xiu had already anticipated that, so after the system produced the ability of the mole fruit, it did not immediately use it for them...  

　　On the whole, the mole fruit is used by other people, mainly for arable land, and its value is completely inferior to the other fruits in the hands.

　　…………

　　On the plateau of Hexi, Songtsan Gampo and Ludongzan brought more than [-] Tibetan troops and more than [-] cattle and sheep. It took five days to travel along the plateau from Hexi to Lingzhou. .

　　Songtsen Gampo was skeptical about what Lu Dongzan saw and heard in the Tang Dynasty.

　　It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's too mysterious.

　　So this time he came out in person to see it with his own eyes, otherwise how could he be willing.

　　With his own ambitions, he wants to show his grand plans in Tubo, and naturally he does not want to be dead by virtue of Lu Dongzan's remarks.

　　"Lu Dongzan, it should be coming soon, but you said that within five days, you can reach Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, from Tubo." Songtsen Gampo asked.

　　"Zamp, there are still fifty miles to go. The gate connecting the two places will be opened at a location three hundred miles east of Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the opening cycle happens to be a five-day round. If you hurry up , should be able to arrive today." Lu Dongzan replied.

　　In the prairie north of the Hetao, the area is so wide, the five positions of the fruit of the door move according to the cycle, so as to ensure that the location of each position can be taken care of.

　　There are heavy troops guarding the gate. Of course, thousands of their Tibetan troops have been reported to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, they have just appeared in the territory with their troops and have been discovered by the eagles in the sky. .

Chapter 302

　　An hour later, before the sun went down, Songtsan Gampo and the others finally arrived at the connection point of the door fruit.

　　The dispatch of thousands of men and horses naturally attracted the attention of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, the Tubo people reported in advance, and they brought cattle and sheep.

　　Su Dingfang did not relax his vigilance because of this, and arranged thousands of troops to be stationed in front of the door.

　　With the ability of Su Dingfang's Cheetah Fruit, it is not difficult for the thousands of people led by one to fight ten.It was enough to deal with the thousands of people in Tubo.

　　Hundreds of meters in the sky, the circling eagle falcons are monitoring every move for more than ten miles around.

　　"General Su. Lu Mou brought the credentials of Tubo's vassal, please let the general go." Lu Dongzan said respectfully.

　　"Hehe, there are envoys working. But you have a little more manpower. I hope that the envoys can be controlled within fifty people, otherwise it will be difficult for Su to explain." Su Dingfang said lightly.

　　"Lu Mou can save it."

　　When Lu Dongzan selected fifty warriors, 25 Su Ding just made a way out.

　　Then, Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan, dressed by Qiao Zhuang, finally stepped onto the gate outside Chang'an City.

　　Coming out of the gate, Songtsen Gampo was shocked by the scenery in front of him.Did he really cross a distance of thousands of miles in one step, from the prairie to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?

　　Standing in front of the magnificent city gate more than three feet high, it exudes an atmosphere of simplicity and grandeur.

　　Behind the city gate, you can see the bustling market.

　　Mainly, the common people, who can be seen everywhere, are all dressed in commoner clothes.

　　The stone road on the ground is flat and wide, clean and tidy.

　　Rows of houses, especially beautiful.

　　Compared with Chang'an City, their Tubo is really a backcountry.Looking at the magnificent city in front of him, Deng Shuiyu felt his insignificance.

　　After crossing the city gate, Chang'an City finally appeared in front of him.The bustling street market he saw in his eyes opened his eyes.

　　"Selling biscuits, two dollars apiece, do you want a guest?"

　　A peddler in his thirties saw the Tubo people look like a curious baby, and quickly understood that he was a foreigner who came to Chang'an for the first time.

　　"Go away." The Tubo guard beside him gave the hawker a vicious look.

　　The hawker was so frightened that he wanted to carry the burden and leave.

　　The curious Songtsen Ganbu people bought one and took a bite, only to feel that the taste was extremely crisp.

　　Moreover, the commercial prosperity of Chang'an City is beyond his imagination, and he has seen many unprecedented novelties in Chang'an.

　　"Zamp, you see that it is a cloth village in the Tang Dynasty. In Tubo, a piece of cloth can buy a dozen cows, but in Chang'an City, a piece of cloth can only be used for money, and a cow can't even be bought with money. Very It’s cheap. In the homes of the common people in the Tang Dynasty, unlike those in Tubo, men farmed women, men were responsible for cultivating the land, and women in every household could weave cloth.” Lu Dongzan introduced.

　　"Yeah, the clothes they are wearing are really beautiful." Especially the nobles, they were dressed in fine silk and satin of beautiful color, very beautiful.

　　If it is placed in Tubo, there are not dozens of cattle and sheep that can't get such good cloth.

　　"It would be great if the people of Tubo could also weave." Songtsen Gambo couldn't help but envied.

　　"But the Tang Dynasty didn't want to give us the weaving technology. The minister made an unannounced visit for a long time, and found that it was difficult for the people of Tubo to weave." Lu Dongzan said with a wry smile.

　　The most important thing in weaving is the raw material, and silk is used.

　　Therefore, weaving requires silkworm breeding, and then mulberry leaves are used.In the Tubo region, because of the high mountains, mulberry trees cannot be grown at all.

　　"If you want to get cloth, you can only trade with Datang. Because there is a gate connecting the two places, trade is much more convenient than before, and the price of cloth should not be very high."

　　Songtsan Gampo did not know it, but the gate that allows people to cross thousands of miles in one step is too exaggerated.

　　Why did Tubo fight with Datang? Datang could even easily lead troops directly to their Tubo country.

　　"Then there is white paper, which I think is the most valuable and inestimable." Books made of white paper can record a lot of words, which are much easier to use than sheepskin.

　　Under the introduction of Lu Dongzan, Songtsen Gampo got to know the goods in the Datang market little by little.

　　The more he understood, the more surprised Songtsen Gampo was. Many goods and commodities were not found in Tibet. The faces of the people were full of yearning for the future.

　　The people of Tubo are tired for food and drink, but Chang'an City is really rich.

　　"Look, what is in the sky, such a big bird." Suddenly, Songtsen Gampo exclaimed.

　　"Zamp, that's not a bird, it's a human being. The national teacher of the Tang Dynasty can give people the ability to transform into an eagle and fly in the sky." Lu Dong praised.

　　"It's actually human?" Songtsen Gampo couldn't believe it. .

Chapter 303

　　Humans can actually transform into eagles and falcons, which can soar in the sky.

　　If it was changed to the previous one, Songtsen Gampo would never believe it.But from what he saw and heard in Chang'an today, he knew a little and understood that anything was possible in the Tang Dynasty.

　　"If possible, I would really like to get acquainted with the national teacher of Datang." Songtsen Gampo said solemnly.

　　"Zamp, it's very difficult for you to see him. The national teacher of Datang has come and gone without a trace. He is not in Chang'an at all. It is said that he lives on a beautiful island overseas." Lu Dongzan shook his head.

　　Since it is a "Dragon", it is not surprising that he lives overseas.

　　And Lu Dongzan, who had been in Chang'an for several months, had only been fortunate enough to meet Lu Xiu at the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens.

　　"It's a pity."

　　Songtsan Gampo couldn't help but sighed, if that national teacher was the national teacher of Tubo.

　　Tubo will definitely develop more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty, and the whole world will even be owned by Tubo.

　　However, when the Tang Dynasty was destined to return, unless they waited until the Tang Dynasty was exhausted, or they could only survive in the back of the Tang Dynasty, unable to resist at all.

　　Even if Tubo bowed his head and became a minister, he thought it would be good if he could get the protection of the Tang Dynasty and avoid the conquest of the Tang Dynasty.

　　If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had great ambitions, the Tibetans who were in contact with the Tang Dynasty might not have been spared.

　　…………

　　"Your Majesty, Tubo's envoy Lu Dongzan has brought the Tubo's official letter of appointment' ~."

　　Hearing the eunuch's report, Li Er's eyes lit up: "Then what about the [-] cattle and sheep they promised me, did they bring them?"

　　"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can't run. According to the report sent by General Su Dingfang, [-] cattle and sheep are waiting opposite the gate connecting the grasslands in Chang'an, and the number should not be too bad." Fang Xuanling laughed.

　　"Hehe, it seems that Tubo really wants to show his loyalty." Li Er said with satisfaction.

　　"Your Majesty, the hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep from the Western Turks can also be there tomorrow." Fang Xuanling said.

　　"Huh, millions of cattle and sheep can finally make my prairie no longer empty." Li Er nodded with satisfaction.

　　After deducting [-] yuan and keeping it for personal use, the other Li Er can be sold to Baiguan and they can be raised.

　　And because of the manpower that Chang'an City can draw out now, part of the manpower is assigned to Lingnan, so the management of millions of cattle and sheep is the limit.

　　Li Er is not in a hurry. He can let them slowly develop grazing in the grasslands around the Hetao.

　　When the number of cattle and sheep on hand is large, you can consider the prairie thousands of miles north of Yinshan Mountain.

　　Li Er is not worried about food at all. He is confident that food and clothing will be solved within a year or two.

　　The high-yield grain seeds that Lu Xiu disseminated can yield more than a thousand catties per mu, and they can spread to various places within a few years.

　　Coupled with the development of the Lingnan area, the cultivated land has undoubtedly expanded a lot.

　　"It won't take a few years, I think people can often eat beef and mutton for three meals a day."

　　Among them, the slaughter of cattle, Li Er has already let go of the authority, and now it is not illegal to kill cattle in the vicinity of Chang'an.

　　Because the tenant farmer union that Lu Xiu mentioned had already started to organize in Chang'an City.
