Guangzhou soon received a reply from Bian Jing. The local government asked the local government to escort Owetus and his group to the north as the envoys of a great power.

Although Zhao Gou was shocked by the Byzantine visits, he was also happy to establish connections with the Byzantine Empire.

He knew not much about John II today, but he also knew that the strength of the Byzantines should not be underestimated.

And in the next few decades and even longer, the Song Dynasty would not have any conflict of interest with the Byzantine Empire.

From the moment John II's father let the crusades enter the territory, the Byzantines' Eastern Front strategy was finalized - Give up! The three words "Crusade" clearly revealed a gap, and the Byzantines completely gave up their future on the Eastern Front battlefield.

Let a bunch of crusading countries become their own barriers on the battlefield on the Eastern Front and isolate the threat of the power of the heaven.

Then you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind, stabilize the country, and deal with various troubles on the Western Front.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty is separated from it by a nearly complete world of heaven.

There will be no conflict of interest between the two sides. When you meet each other and make a conversation, there will be only interests.

Two hundred people immediately set up on Guangnan East Road to escort the envoys and their group to the north.

Instead of taking the water route, they walked north along the only national highway in Lingnan.

The latter was a road built by Zhao Song who invested a lot of manpower and material resources and took many years to build. Although the investment was huge, the benefits were huge.

From Guangzhou to the north, go north to Shaoguan, go south to Jinghu, board the ship from Hengyang, pass through Tanzhou (Changsha), cross the river through Ezhou (Wuchang), follow one until you go straight north, go out of Wusheng Pass and enter Xinyang, and then go straight into Yancheng, which is the Luohe in later generations. Then there is another wide road to Bianjing.

When Zhao Gou had money, he thought about changing the traffic environment of Zhao Song and clearing channels. The canal was one, and the construction of national highways on land was two.

Although the latter is just the beginning.

Byzantine and his group were thousands of miles apart, fully experiencing the vast territory of the Zhao and Song dynasties and the various aspects of people's livelihood.

In this vast country, not every place is rich and luxurious, but even in the remote county of the accompanying people, Orwitus and others can see the peace and prosperity in it.

Judging by Byzantine standards, there are really no poor people here!

Everyone has rosy faces, dressed properly, and the houses are neatly built. Can this still be a poor person?

Sue Utus had little knowledge. The Song people he saw were those who were immigrated, and each of them could become the backbone of the city.

"Five years..." Thinking of the Song emperor introduced by the translator, this powerful emperor actually changed the entire empire in just five years.

Orwitus really didn't expect that the rich and powerful country in front of him would have completely ended the civil war five years ago, and was invaded and besieged by barbarians from the north seven years ago.

This is a bit like ‘Rome was built overnight’, which makes everyone feel incredible.

In fact, in the past few days, members of this Byzantine mission have frequently argued over different opinions. The initial argument was between several Owetus's entourage, such as his secretary, clerk and two attendants. Later, Owetus's deputy, guard and even everyone was involved. It was during this debate that they split into two groups.

One faction praised the many state affairs of the Song Dynasty, believing that Byzantium should be absorbed and converted into its own use. I wouldn’t say much about anything else. As long as the biggest focus bank and banknotes can be implemented in Byzantium, how much benefit can it bring to Byzantium?

If paper money is endorsed by national credibility, that's also paper.

These people think facts outweigh everything.

An expeditionary force of the Song people who traveled thousands of miles could cause trouble in the world of Tianfang. The strength of its national strength, vast territory, and peace of the country are obvious to all.

The policies implemented by such a prosperous and great country are obviously good strategies for governing and maintaining national security that have been tested.

Why didn’t Byzantium copy homework directly?

But there are also other people who think that Rome's glory is not inferior to the East at all, and that the barbarians in Western Europe are more like ignorant barbarians.

However, Byzantine has countless differences from Eastern civilizations. The various things you see and hear on the way north can prove that the customs, culture, traditions and other aspects of the two countries are countless different.

It may not be completely suitable to use the policies of the Song Empire to implement the Byzantine Empire!

With all the things I saw along the way, the Byzantines had given up the enthusiasm to compare their own kingdoms with the Song Dynasty, but this did not prevent them from excluding the latter's institutional policies.

Not to mention anything else, just one "imperial examination system", which can be called Byzantine's overthrow. After it is spread to Western Europe, it will be hated by the whole world.

Although the Byzantines admired learning very much, even Constantine IX, before the Komuning Dynasty, ordered everyone to study in the law school because of the poor quality of domestic judicial judges. But this is completely different from the "imperial examination system" that is talented.

It is true that the grassroots people of Byzantine can receive valuable education, but they will never be able to reach the status of aristocrats throughout their lives.

This is like the conservatives in the late Qing Dynasty. It is true that you, the Western powers, are powerful, but I just don’t take your gods and gods.

Orwitus was involved in the discussion in the early days, but gradually he got out of the matter. The reason was not that he was not interested in participating in the discussion, but because he had more important things to do.

Draw an accurate map of Europe, and cooperate with those kingdoms, principalities, and marquis. Write a biography for them and briefly explain their connections. This is enough to make him busy for many days.

The Song people knew very little about the Western world tens of thousands of miles away, but as a nobleman of the Byzantine Empire and a diplomat of the Byzantine Empire, they knew too much about the entire Western world.

Present such a detailed drawing, and a booklet - anyway, the Song people's eyes have already seen Europe. In a few years or decades, they will always understand everything. This drawing does not matter to leak secrets.

But it can be used as a tiger skin to wear it with Byzantium.

Don’t forget the Crusaders. Now it is a great alliance across Europe, and the power of the Tianfang is in a state of being attacked. The Byzantine Empire was not even threatened by the power of the Tianfang. In this case, Byzantine could hide its worries about the Eastern Front the deepest, and Orwitus could use the Western European countries to brush a layer of gain buff to himself (Byzantine)!
