I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Elder Kupso didn't have a clue.

But these ministers of the Persian royal court are now full of confidence in Elder Kupso.

What did they see?
A ship without sails.

Persia is an offshore country, and their research on ships is still very deep. Of course... because of the deep research, they have almost never seen ships without sails.

Especially this kind... a big ship that can't be found in the whole of Persia.

A small boat can use paddles or rely on waves without using sails, and can still sail the distance a small boat should travel.

But big ships are different.

If a big ship has no sails and cannot take advantage of the wind, it will have no way to sail at all.

In their cognition, that is the case.

But now they saw such a ship, and it broke their cognition, it can sail smoothly on the sea, turn the direction freely - even, the speed is not much worse than the full sail, faster than the normal ship. Sail faster!
As usual, they may be curious and ambitious, and want to take this technology into their own hands.

But now...

With Elder Kupso's words before them, they subconsciously took this thing as proof that Datang was a kingdom of gods.

If not, how did the ship move?

At the moment when they saw the ship, they were envious of Artunis—as an ordinary person in Persia, who just learned the Tang language that he might never use in his life, he was one step ahead of them and was still alive. , go where they most want to go.

Many people wish they could replace it.

But they don't know how to talk big, and they don't have that much courage.

After sailing for two months.

The ship is moored at the Canton Wharf. After leaving Datang for a quarter, the Canton Train has been built. Such a lengthy railway has brought a different kind of vitality to Canton.

The first impression of Datang.

This Artunis from Persia was shocked.

He was brought to Guangfu City by Xue Rengui, and he watched the bustling crowd, the common people and merchants wearing silk or cotton cloth scurrying in the streets.

Seeing those children kicking Cuju, there was a bang, the glass was broken, and then there were a few curses in the room, and the children didn't seem to have done anything wrong, so they ran away happily.

Looking at the food stalls on the street, there is a strong aroma of human fireworks.

Seeing the yelling slowly approaching from a distance while pushing the trolley, he listened several times before he understood what the yelling meant—"Fresh seafood from the sea, shellfish is five cents a catty, fish is ten cents a catty." It's a catty."

"There are also good laver and sea cabbage!"

Seafood like this is only eaten by nobles in Persia-of course, seaweed and sea cabbage are not, those are eaten by commoners and untouchables.

But here... it can be sold in the street?
Xue Rengui led them on the street, ready to deal with the Persian envoy casually, and went straight to the train station.

As soon as he turned his head, he found that this person seemed to be a little confused.

"What's wrong?" he asked casually.

Artunis took a deep breath, his voice seemed a little excited, and he asked with his flat accent: "Is this... the capital of Tang Dynasty?"

Xue Rengui and the rangers were taken aback for a moment, they looked at each other, and couldn't hold back their smiles, breathing out little by little from their mouths.

"What's the matter?" Artunis was stunned. Is this question ridiculous?
Xue Rengui suppressed a smile and shook his head: "This is not the capital of the Tang Dynasty."

As he said that, he paused for a moment, twisted himself, and finally said the following sentence clearly: "This is only one state in Datang, and there are more than 400 similar places in Datang."

"It's just that the development of Guangfu Prefecture is good. Looking at the entire Datang, it is about the third-level city."

Artunes' eyes became lost in an instant.

The information is too huge, and his single-core brain can't handle it.

There are more than 400 such places in Datang?

This is a place that is more prosperous than Taixifeng... It is only the third level in Datang, and there are two richer and more prosperous cities?

how is this possible…

He couldn't think of a more affluent scene at all.

"I'll take you to dinner later. It will take about a day or two to get to Chang'an." Xue Rengui waved his hand, shook his head and chuckled, "Get used to it."

Artunes nodded numbly.

I comforted myself in my heart, thinking that it shouldn't be much worse, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is not far from here, just take a day's carriage.

Although it's two gears off, maybe... maybe... it's not that big of a difference.

Until he finished dinner with Xue Rengui and arrived at the train station.

He was stunned again.

"This...this is..." He looked at the huge monster in front of him, a little speechless.

When entering the train station at the beginning.

He also felt that the people of Datang were too serious about it. It was just a car, and they had to buy a ticket, wait for the car, check the ticket, and go through the security check...

At least half an hour was delayed. With this time, with a flick of the horsewhip, you can travel dozens of miles more.

Then, he discovered that the carriage in his mind was not the same thing as the incomplete carriage that he saw with his eyes now.

"This is the train of the Tang Dynasty." Xue Rengui took him on the train and explained, "It is a means of transportation developed by my Duke Zhengyang of the Tang Dynasty."

"It's more than a day and night, and it can travel thousands of miles."

These words made Artunis's heart skip a beat, he took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Then...then how far is this place of Guangfu from the capital of Datang?"

Xue Rengui smiled slightly, and casually reported a number: "It's about three thousand miles."

really!

Artunes clenched his fists, staring at the scene outside the train window, and the sound of the siren blared, but it was not Datang in his ears. After traveling tens of thousands of miles, he returned to Persia again.

He thought of Elder Kupso's words—"Their country is vast, and it would take several months to walk from west to east on foot, but they have the gift of the gods and can do it all in one day. "

It's all true!
Elder Kupso's understanding of Datang is true.

After thinking for a long time, his eyes gradually cleared up, his whole body straightened up, his back straightened, his face straightened, and he even played with his hair through the reflective glass.

even though…

Persia is no match for Datang.

But I represent the face of Persia, even if I want to be a vassal, I have to strive to be the best among the vassals of the Tang Dynasty, so that when I die in the future, maybe I will be born into this country by an angel.
