When Fei Tuoluo came to Guangzhou City, he was dazzled in an instant and felt like he had come to a brand new world.

If the prosperity of Champa is expected and predictable, the prosperity of Guangzhou City is beyond his imagination.

At the dock, people came and went, and I couldn't see how many people were, but the total number must have exceeded his territory. The big men in short clothes and narrow sleeves carried goods one by one, carried them one by one, orderly and without chaos, without scrambling, and there was no fighting. As soon as the large number of merchant ships arrived at the port, they unloaded the goods in a moment.

Merchant ships are endless, like waves in the sea, never decreasing.

The pier was clean and tidy, and there was no dry mud on the ground paved with bricks and stones. Many children and the elderly were cleaning the baskets with brooms.

"Is this the capital of Tang State? It's really prosperous and lively!"

Fei Tuoluo sighed.

"No, this is just a wharf. Walking along this wide stone road will make you Guangzhou City!"

A trace of contempt flashed across the corner of the official who greeted him. This is what foreign countries overseas are like. They have never seen the world, and they are the best fool.

The translation made Fei Tuoluo a little unbelievable.

This is an extremely wide road that can accommodate dozens of people walking side by side, and ditches are also opened on both sides of the road, which is to prevent mud on the ground from raining.

Looking forward from the road, people came and went along the way, with horse-drawn carriages, mule carriages, and donkey carriages everywhere, making people dizzy.

What is strange is that the road is divided into two halves, with an obvious boundary in the middle, allowing pedestrians and vehicles to move left and right without congestion, and they come and go without encountering each other, which is shocking.

Fei Tuoluo hurriedly asked about the reason.

The official said: "No matter how wide the road is, the number of vehicles will sooner or later be crowded, so we drew a line in the middle to let the vehicles and pedestrians walk to the right, and the well water will not interfere with the river, so that it will be unobstructed..."

As he said that, the official bowed to the north with admiration and sighed: "This is the wise and powerful Emperor. Seeing this scene, he temporarily came up with a countermeasure. Once implemented, he praised him. My Lord is indeed talented and incredible. It can be said that without His Majesty, there would be no current wharf, and there would be no current Tang..."

Fei Tuoluo looked at the officials who talked endlessly and looked at the dry-mouthed translation. He instantly realized that this person not only had the first-class flattery skills, but also was a chatterbox!

"What are the papers in the hands of those children, and what are they shouting?"

Fei Tuoluo immediately interrupted his words and continued to ask.

"That's the newspaper—" The words were interrupted, as if you were wiping your butt halfway. This was extremely uncomfortable. The official couldn't help but look straight and said, "The major affairs of the court, the customs and customs of various governments, poetry and novels are all on them. You can't understand them. Forget it!"

In this way, Fei Tuoluo still asked: "That huge mansion is the city lord's mansion?"

"No!" the official said with a complicated look on his face: "That is the Maritime Bureau, responsible for collecting taxes. For the things you bring, you have to pay taxes. Just go there, don't forget!"

Fei Tuoluo felt bad in an instant. In his hometown, aristocrats like him still had to pay taxes? It was a joke.

"The nobles of your country also have to pay taxes? Can they be compatible?" Fei Tuoluo felt a little distressed.

"Even aristocrats have to pay taxes!" The official sighed and said, "The times have changed. Good days have passed before. If we officials do not pay taxes, we will have to dismiss the office and impeach them, offend the emperor, the nobles will be given titles, and collect land and houses."

"The Transshipment Office is a group of stingy and greedy people!!"

In his indignation, Fei Tuoluo had no choice but to sell things, pay taxes, and then go to Guangzhou City.

There are many houses in Guangzhou, with more people than docks, and they seem more crowded. There are endless hawking sounds. They wear hemp, silk, short clothes, and all kinds of cars walking on the streets, very slowly.

With the brick and tile houses on both sides of the street and the unattainable city wall, Fei Tuoluo instantly became sore, he said:

"In our country, only nobles can live in tiled houses, and civilians do not have shoes to wear. But everyone here has shoes and beautiful clothes. They are truly a great country!"

"Don't wear shoes? Isn't it hurts your feet?" the official said strangely: "Only Manliao does not wear shoes. If a big country like ours does not wear shoes, how can it be?"

"I wonder how many people are in this Guangzhou City?" Fei Tuoluo said enviously and jealously: "In our capital, Angkor Thom, there are more than 100,000 people!"

"I don't know the specifics. I'm not from the Ministry of Revenue, but I probably know about it, about 500,000 or 600,000!"

"There are too many merchants in recent years, especially those who are big cannibals wearing robes. Isn't it hot in hot weather? It's annoying to see!"

The officials despised and disgusted the cannibals without reservation.

How can I fight such a city? It turns out that it is Shangguo, an ordinary city, almost a few Angkor Thom, so why don’t there be more soldiers?

At this moment, Fei Tuoluo had no desire to covet, and his desire for Champa was suppressed to his heart.

Nothing else, this is the backward normal person’s look up to an advanced civilized country.

When the gap is out of reach, jealousy completely disappears, and only look up and obey.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know how big the gap is.

The great cannibal completely lost the mentality of looking up. To be honest, Arab civilization is not bad at this time.

Such a great empire has also existed in the Arab world. After all, it was also a person who established a national transcontinental empire. He had never seen any civilization. Eastern Rome, Western Europe, and India were only amazed and envious of the Tang Dynasty.

There is even a desire to possess in my heart.

After all, the sea routes are already open and the technology is mature. In such a prosperous and prosperous empire, it is very feasible to occupy a big cannibal city.

Guangzhou City of the Tang Dynasty and Quanzhou of the Song Dynasty were the products under this situation.

However, with the long journey and the national strength of the Central Plains, this fantasy cannot come true.

It took me seven or eight days to travel, but I don’t know how long I walked, how many cities and villages I saw. The size of the Tang Empire was indeed beyond imagination. The Angkor Dynasty had completed its journey in just a few days, and it was still walking here...

"This is a huge empire with a population of millions, several times ours. The cities are as numerous as stars in the sky, the army is majestic, the roads are wide and neat. Like us, they also have countless stations, and more and larger than ours. This is a daunting empire. But I heard that there are two countries in the north that are no less than such an empire. I instantly understood that fighting with such an empire is definitely a destruction!"
