Chapter 659

    In another special parallel time and space, the former area of the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia, Sicily, and the southern part of Italy, Naples and even Corsica, all disappeared. Instead, it is a complete island land, which covers an area of more than 100000 square kilometers. Since its birth, it has attracted the attention from Europe, North Africa and even Central Asia.


    Every year, admirers pick up the map of the four islands and compare it with the land under their feet. There are so many legends and stories in this land that it seems like a reappearance of a fairy tale to take them out. However, these seemingly mythical things actually appear in everyone''s eyes. Naturally, people treat this land full of legends and miracles, full of indescribable unique favor.


    As for the Tang people who ruled this magical land and had the same legendary experience, many curious countries and people also treated these Tang people with special favor which is difficult to describe in detail. In short, this big island is like ancient Egypt, attracting the yearning of all surrounding countries. Although in history, it is far from ancient Egypt, but in the current era, it is worthy of the beauty and superstar. It belongs to the superstar of the dark middle ages, and its influence is just like that of China in East Asia. What''s more, the decisive battle decades ago defeated the invasion of Fatima Dynasty and Abbas Dynasty, and established the hegemony position of majesty and Mediterranean at one stroke, and has been maintained until now.


    Now, after decades of development, the population of the Tang people has already grown from just three million to nearly ten million at the present stage. Such a large population size really shakes Europa! The huge population not only represents the country''s abundant human resources, but also represents taxes and wealth, and more importantly represents the vital military strength and war potential.


    What''s more, up to now, the Tang people have maintained several standing armies, including 30000 in the army, 10000 in the Navy, and a total of 40000 in the army, which is an important reason why he continued to spread his influence to the outside world. What''s more, in the slightly larger bathtub of the Mediterranean Sea, the merchant ships belonging to the Tang people traveled between Europe, North Africa and the Near East, and sold their domestic products to the above regions. Then, the goods purchased from the above regions are returned to China for sale, which brings huge profits.


    This kind of achievement is enviable and enviable, so it is rampant in the Mediterranean. Most of them are the result of the support and encouragement of various countries. A certain country can''t compete with the people of Tang Dynasty. However, if they all unite to engage in unfair commercial discrimination and competition, they will face the threat of force from the Tang people. Under normal circumstances, no one really wants to annoy this "Mediterranean dragon". After all, if the other side''s population is nearly ten million, the potential for war will be enough to scare the whole continent.


    What''s more, with the infidels around them, they are even less willing to fight with the Tang people. Once this is true, no matter who wins in the end, the cheap ones are just those damned infidels.


    And the people of Tang Dynasty also knew that their trade policies were very problematic to European countries. Their productivity and innovation ability are obviously more advanced than those of Europe. Their commercial clothing has always been the object of European imitation, while the goods produced by the other side of the Tang Dynasty have always been lack of interest. However, there is one thing, that is, there is no lack of economic resources on the land of the Tang people, but some mineral resources are extremely scarce. This is the problem of resource scarcity caused by their own land, such as silver, copper and iron. Most of the minerals mined by the Tang people are low reserves. And some high quality, high quality, large reserves of minerals are mostly deep buried in the mountains, the cost of mining is very high. Therefore, in order to maintain a relatively stable trade surplus, the Tang people could only buy a large number of mineral resources from the above countries.


    It can be used to make all kinds of farm tools, weapons and armor, or to bury and seal them on the spot. As an island country which is not rich in resources, I don''t know when this sense of hardship came into being among the people of Tang Dynasty. However, the trade of the Tang people was not a single purchase of these raw materials. The Tang people were also interested in some things in Europe and North Africa. The investigation groups or expeditions organized by the Tang people frequently entered the above areas to investigate the local environment and secretly draw maps were all carried out by them. However, after some investigation, the results disappointed the people of Tang Dynasty.


    Because after traveling in the above areas, they were greatly disappointed with the environment there. Especially when compared with their own countries, this sense of deficit made the Tang people not interested in Europe. Compared with the people of their own countries, life in Europe is too bad, and resources in some places are also relatively poor, even far inferior to them. Their food and culture were even more vulgar, which made the Tang people lose their enterprising spirit and become isolated.


    At the same time, the Tang people undoubtedly seem to know more about cannibals. Compared with European white people, cannibals are undoubtedly more civilized. The commodities they produced were also pursued by the Tang people. In particular, their smelting technology, to a certain extent, is very excellent, which Tang people secretly learned, spread to the domestic to improve. As for the luxury goods in tropical areas, the Tang people also need them very much, and they import a large number of luxury goods from the local area every year.


    Especially for spices and honey, the demand of Tang people is very big. With the increase of population and the gradual diversification of food culture, people in Tang Dynasty pursued more and more spices. However, there was little land suitable for planting, coupled with climate problems. It can''t be as sweet as the tropical fruit, and the spices always feel worse. The cannibal''s territory, on the other hand, could transport spices, fruits and other luxury woods from Southeast Asia through overseas trade, and then sell them to Europe and the land of the Tang Dynasty. The eating habits of the Tang people, as well as other behavioral habits, indirectly promoted the development of Europe.


    Because of their particularity and the sanctity of the monarch family, the European continent obviously treated them with another unique psychological factor. It''s just like praising China at that time, praising them, and praising France in the future. Even the French king''s bald hair and forced to wear a wig are enough to trigger a trend in Europe. It''s the same reason.


    After the Tang people settled down, it was a wave of cultural export. They export their ideas and some advanced technology, together with religion, to foreign countries. Different from other foreigners entering other lands and following local customs and habits, Tang people or Huaxia people always let foreigners submit to themselves. In the end, after these foreigners entered the Central Plains, they were gradually assimilated.


    At present, the people of Tang Dynasty are very experienced in doing this kind of thing.
