The 682nd section is convinced (1)(1/2)

From Bacheng Gate to Chang'an.

The entire Wusun mission was already in a state of confusion.

"The Han Dynasty people... are really..." Everyone swallowed their saliva and walked through the gate of Bacheng Gate.

The huge city gate is like a mountain gorge.

What shocked them even more was that the city gate used a lot of pig iron.

Not only that, the roads paved with bluestone on both sides of the city gate were something they didn't even dare to imagine.

The Han Chang'an City is like the ultra-modern cities such as Midi New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Neon Tokyo, and London, England in the 1980s.

On the entire earth, I am afraid that only Luoyang, which belongs to the Han Dynasty, can be compared with Linzi.

Therefore, the panic and shock of the Wusun mission can naturally be imagined.

But, this is just the beginning.

After entering the city, every Wusun person was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

The city in front of you...

It simply goes beyond their past definition of a city.

The roads are spacious and tidy, interlaced together.

Houses stand on both sides of the road.

The pedestrians coming and going are like tides, like rivers, surging endlessly.

Even in the myths and legends of Wusun, the palace of the gods is probably just like this.

"Nei Official..." Ni Mi lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the prosperous heavenly scenery, and murmured to himself: "How many people are there in this Chang'an City in your country?"

"Last year, the Prime Minister's Office reported to Lantai, Chang'an City, with registered population of 83,500 households and 234,000 households..." Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "This is just a person who has registered households and people..."

"The nobles, servants, merchants, scholars, officials and craftsmen in the Shaofu were not among them..."

After listening to Ni Mi, she felt the whole person.

There are only 230,000 people in a city?

The herdsmen and nobles in Wusun nationwide are just this number.

His tribe had 80,000 minus the mouths, so he dared to challenge Chigu City and bargain with Weng Guimi.

Even the Huns had to curry favor with him.

And the Han Dynasty...

One city crushed the whole country of Wusun...

This is too exaggerated and incredible!

If anyone said this to him when he was in Wusun, he would definitely think that the man went crazy.

Can a city hold so many people?

Be funny!

But now, the facts are right in front of you.

The Han people created a miracle!

"Then..." Ni Mi lowered his once arrogant head and asked in a low voice: "How did your country raise such a large population?"

In order to support his 200,000 to 300,000, Wusun has done his best and used all means.

But unfortunately, even Akaga Castle and his nobles worked hard and day and night, it was difficult for them to support so many Dingkou and their wives, concubines, children, and slaves.

There is no way, the Wusun people are nomadic peoples, with cheese and milk as their main food.

Perhaps in many people's impression, nomadic peoples belong to the kind of people who do not do production, eat, or drink.

But the fact is actually the opposite.

Like the farming people, under normal circumstances, the food they need to survive is self-sufficient.

The only difference between the two is that the farming people are settled growers, while the nomadic people are groups that grazed and lived with water and grass.

The farming nations reclaim land, plant crops, and harvest grain.

The nomadic peoples harvest the fur of livestock, various horse milk, goat milk, and cow milk by grazing livestock.

For them, livestock is crops, and pastures are land.

The gains from plunder and conquest from foreign wars are often only a supplement.

The big part of food security still has to rely on various dairy products produced by livestock that you grazed on your own.

So, here the difference is formed.

The land of the farming ethnic group can increase yield by improving farming technology, deep cultivation, fertilization, weeding and other methods.

Before the development of modern agricultural and animal husbandry technology, nomadic peoples did not have a good possibility to improve themselves.

They cannot use technology to increase the milk production of livestock, nor can they speed up the growth rate of grass on the pastures.

so……

In the Han Dynasty, a small landlord could rely on his hard work and frugality to allow his family to live a good life, and even have some energy to support his children to study for their own business.

The herdsmen and small nobles of the Wusun and the Huns might even go hungry at any time.

What’s even more terrifying is that except for the top group of people, others may even have to ask a question mark if they are full.

The nomads who ate meat and drank wine in the imagination of later generations.

Unfortunately, in the long feudal era, even the leaders of the tribe might not be able to do it.

The era when herders were able to drink wine and eat meat in big mouthfuls was something that happened after the founding of New China.

To be precise, it is the result of the new millennium, after the development of the country's economy and continuous improvement in productivity and becoming a world factory, the central government has scattered a lot of money to the frontiers to provide subsidies, assistance and construction.

In the long feudal era, the lives of herders in the past few years when life was the best on the grassland may not be as good as the life of a self-cultivated farmer in China.

Hunger is the norm, and illness is not cured. However, plagues and frequent disasters are common.

It is precisely because of this that Ni Mi and the entire mission were so shocked by the situation in Chang'an City.

Especially Ni Mi saw with his own eyes the abortion in front of him.

There are nobles, merchants, officials, soldiers, and people.

They are dressed in different styles and have different expressions.

However, even those civilians of the same class as the lower herders on the grassland may have a shiny face, not like those of the lower herders in Wusun, with their hair yellow, messy, pale face thin, and desperate.

On the contrary, even these people.

He was also shaking his mind and walking with his head held high and his chest held high.

Although their clothes were a little worn.

But it was washed very clean, and the hair was neatly combed, wrapped in a cloth towel.

Instead of shaving your head regularly in order to avoid parasites such as lice and other people.

Shave your head very ugly!

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Even nomadic peoples, the same is true.

Therefore, the Huns invented the felt hats, and the Wusun people further developed the felt hats that could cover the entire head with triangles.

In this way, I concealed my head, which was extremely shaved and scarred, even bitten by lice.

but……

People in the Han Dynasty did not do this.

Even the ragged civilians in front of them had neat hair and were wrapped in cloth scarves.

As for officials, scholars and nobles, they were even more confident and proud.

Ni Mi once thought that these Han Dynasty people's clothing and crowns were useless.

But now, he didn't dare to think so.

Because, what you saw and heard along the way, everyone in Han Dynasty had their hair and crowns.

He had ignored this before because of his arrogance and arrogance.

But now, when he looked back, he felt like he fell into an ice cave.

Han people wear hair and crowns...

Han people wear hair and crowns!

Do Han people wear hair and crowns?

what does that mean?
To be continued...
