Valley Emperor

Datang is rich, not only in the national treasury, but anything you do is a big project. In the past few years, the second-stage water conservancy project has cost tens of millions of dollars, and military spending is also in the hundreds of millions every year.

Educational expenses were in the tens of millions of dollars that year.

Well, these analogies are still somewhat inappropriate.

Well, in Xuanping's 38-year fiscal expenditure budget, there is an item called sports support funds, which aims to support the development of various sports. Just to support these sports, the Ministry of Rites allocated 1.5 million Hengyuan.

This is more than the annual financial income of most royal families in Europe!

Today, there is a huge gap between the Tang Dynasty and other contemporary countries, regardless of whether they are European countries or Tatars.

This gap can even make these indigenous countries look directly desperate!

This disparity is not only in terms of fiscal revenue, but in all aspects of military, industrial, economic and cultural.

In fact, even before the start of the steam revolution in the Tang Dynasty, the industrial production was still in the era of handicraft workshops, and when the power of the factory was still using water power, its comprehensive national strength was already the first in the world.

And the number one in the world is far stronger than the second and third in the world.

Nineteen years before Xuanping, that is, before the steam revolution broke out in the Tang Dynasty, its military strength was already capable of slaughtering neighboring countries. The army's smoothbore weapons were widely equipped, while the European countries and Tatars at the same time were still playing with arquebus. What about the gun.

Even in terms of the navy, the fleet of sail battleships of the Datang Empire at that time was huge, but it took more than ten years to surpass Portugal and Spain, and its thousand-ton sail battleships exceeded both in quantity and quality. of these two traditional maritime powers.

In the nineteenth year of Xuanping, the tonnage of Datang's sailing ships had already reached several hundred thousand tons, while the tonnage of Spanish ships at that time was only several hundred thousand tons.

After the large-scale application of steam engines, Datang began to truly go global. It only took more than ten years to establish an unshakable hegemony on a global scale.

Datang's steam ships have spread all over the world in just over ten years, and its tonnage has exceeded 8 million tons. achieved in two or three years.

Because Datang adds hundreds of thousands of tons of ship tonnage almost every year, just the annual new ship tonnage of Datang is close to the tonnage of ships owned by the whole of Europe.

The Datang Empire, in fact, after the unification of the Huaxia region, has become the world's most powerful country without a doubt. The rapid development in the following decades has only further widened the gap with other countries.

It's just that the gap is so big that it makes people desperate, so it makes people ignore a very important point, that is, even in the nineteenth year of Xuanping, or even earlier, before China was unified, in the period of about seven years of Xuanping. , the Datang Empire is already the undisputed number one power in the world.

But at that time, although Datang's comprehensive national strength ranked first in the world, it was more dependent on its huge population and land area. It was only a quantitative gap with other countries, but there was no qualitative gap.

However, now, the gap between the Datang Empire and other countries is no longer a purely quantitative gap, but a quality gap. This gap is a generational gap, not a generation, but a gap of many generations.

Today's European countries and Tatars are still playing with sailboats, but Datang has already started to play 30,000-ton super passenger ships, and there is no comparison between the two.

This gap can be felt by many people, whether it is Tatars or Spaniards.

Elizabeth is no exception!

But her shock when she saw the New Atlantic offshore in the harbour in the embassy district of Cadiz was enormous.

As she passed the ferry and boarded the New Atlantic, the manifestation was even more pronounced.

After she got on the New Atlantic, she could hardly feel any bumps, and the huge hull of tens of thousands of tons gave the New Atlantic excellent stability.

Especially in this calm situation now, standing on the deck feels like standing on land, and she doesn't feel any shaking at all.

Elizabeth is like this, and even more so for the family members who followed her to the Tang Dynasty.

Many people see this huge ship and think that it is a devil, even if it is not a devil, it must be the creation of the devil.

After Elizabeth herself boarded the ship first, the attendants she brought into the team and the cavalry regiment also boarded the ship one after another.

It's just that not everyone was allowed to board the ship, and only about 60 percent of them were eventually allowed to board and head to Datang.

Because in the process of health inspection, it was found that a considerable number of them had diseases, various diseases, and at least dozens of syphilis patients were even detected.

This made the people in Datang quite speechless!

Datang's requirements for hygiene have always been quite high, not to mention that everyone has been in a relatively closed and independent space for a long time after boarding the ship. It is naturally impossible for these germ carriers, especially those with high-risk infectious diseases. They got on board.

In the end, only about six hundred people were allowed to board the ship.

Before boarding the boat, they were all required to undergo detailed cleaning and disinfection, although it was said that when they were in Madrid, they had already taken a shower before leaving because they knew that Datang people were obsessed with hygiene.

As for those who are old-fashioned and unwilling to take a bath, in fact, they could not be selected for the parenting group from the beginning.

But even so, the health situation of many of them is still worrying.

This situation also made Elizabeth feel a little humiliated.

These are all her entourages. She couldn't bear to face so many problems after being checked out.

But even so, she didn't say anything.

How can I put it, she herself doesn't want to be on the same boat with a group of infectious disease patients!

Cultural education can change a person. Although she is Spanish, she has been educated in Datang since she was a child~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Under the influence of this, many of her ways of thinking will inevitably be with Datang people. almost.

Like hygiene!

It can be said that she is the only one among the many noble women in contemporary Spain who bathes every day!

Other aristocratic women, even if they were influenced by the Tang culture, started to take a bath, but many of them only took a bath every ten days and a half months, which was a great one every three to five days.

Very few people take a bath every day!

After the welcoming embassy, ​​Elizabeth and the sending embassy she brought on board one after another, the Atlantic has officially started its new voyage!

It will go all the way south from Cadiz, passing through several major ports such as South Africa Port, Colombo, Malacca, etc. for docking and supply, and the ultimate goal will be to go straight to the Wusong Port Naval Base in Songjiang Prefecture, the mainland of the empire.
