Various ancient buildings in the city have been renovated, and there are many castles with a strong Iberian style. There are more than 170 Catholic churches in the city with ornate and complicated decorations, almost all over the streets. The imperial double dragon flags are all placed in the windows of the city streets, which is particularly special.

The majestic atmosphere.

The imperial double dragon originated from the royal family emblem. The two-headed dragons share a dragon body. One dragon head looks towards the Pacific Ocean, and the other dragon head looks towards the Atlantic Ocean. It means that the Tang Empire enjoys the benefits of two oceans, lives in America and looks to the world.

The five claws of the dragon hold a scepter, a knife, a sword, an olive branch and an ear of wheat respectively. The background is a tricolor banner with upper white, middle yellow and lower blue. White means the sky, blue means the ocean and yellow means the sea.

It reflects the Yanhuang blood and the yellow earth flowing in the Tang Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets to celebrate the victory. This is the fourth baseball league championship won by the Tang Empire in the five years since the North American Baseball League was held. It represents the world's top sports level.

these years

Along with the rapid development of the empire's economy, workers' salaries have increased by more than 10% or even 20% every year, and people's lives have generally become richer, forming a large number of middle-class people and positions with stable wages.

In response to the people's demand for more diverse entertainment activities, new sports sprung up in the Tang Empire, and many professional clubs were established one after another, such as major baseball leagues, tennis club games, professional rugby games, English football club leagues, and basketball clubs.

Divisional competitions, dragon boat club leagues, polo club leagues and other sports have become popular mainstream sports in today's society.

With the development of science and technology, the University of California developed wired telephone technology, and subsequently, wired radio stations flourished in various cities, greatly enriching the entertainment activities of urban residents.

During the Major League Baseball season, three cable radio stations broadcast regular news reports, songs and opera programs, as well as storytelling excerpts and hilarious cross talk through 1,370 cable speakers throughout the city. Of course, the broadcasts of popular events are indispensable.

In addition to sports and emerging cable radio stations, a large number of reading clubs, calligraphy and painting clubs, piano clubs, Go clubs, tea research clubs, dance clubs and other spontaneous folk groups have emerged in various cities, adhering to the purpose of inheriting ancient Chinese culture.

Carry out a variety of activities.

You will always see many middle-aged and elderly people wearing Tang-style breasted coats, carrying knives and swords, exercising in squares or city gardens, and there are also young people who practice wrestling, do tricks, and dance with knives and sticks. They have become popular in the city.

Unique scenery.

Adhering to the emperor's will, the government promulgated the "Interim Regulations on the Promotion of Sports in the Tang Empire" and established the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the first in the world, under the cabinet.

The Ministry of Culture and Sports is dedicated to developing mass sports and professional competitions, popularizing and promoting traditional Chinese culture, strengthening national physique, promoting sports exchanges between countries, and committing to the communityization and popularization of sports.

The North American Professional Baseball League is a major initiative launched by the Ministry of Culture and Sports in conjunction with the North and South of the United States and Canada after the establishment of the Ministry of Culture and Sports. Now it seems to have excellent results. There is a long list of sports projects waiting to replicate the successful experience, all waiting in line to be led by the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

Implementation.

In the past two years, the North American Martial Arts League, the North American Polo Club League, and the North American Professional Rugby League will be held one after another, followed by the North American Dragon Boat Club League, the North American Tennis Club League, the North American Football Club League, etc., all of which will be held in succession.

It will be launched one after another in the next 3 to 5 years to further enrich the sports market and national entertainment options.

In order to adapt to the development of sports competitions, Datang and the North and South of the United States have successively built a large number of sports venues, which has greatly promoted the formalization and formalization of professional sports in North America, and gradually formed an industrial scale.

Many Chinese businessmen with a keen sense of smell took the lead, either registering and establishing professional teams, or investing in the operation of sports venues, or sponsoring teams, setting off a wave of investment in sports projects, attracting more people to participate.

.

Especially newspapers, radio stations, beer and food manufacturers are most keen to participate in sports events, because they are the direct beneficiaries of the popular promotion of national sports and professional leagues. The enthusiasm for participating in sports promotion is high, because this is what is coming

Where is the money!

In the Tang Empire, everyone from the royal family to the nobility was keen on sports. Many princes participated in the royal family's traditional polo matches, golf matches and rowing sports, which had a great influence on the upper class nobility.

During the celebration of the 24th anniversary of His Majesty the Emperor's accession to the throne, 12 polo teams composed of princes and servants fought against each other and presented a wonderful performance to His Majesty the Emperor.

It was in this nationwide atmosphere that sports and colorful and diverse folk activities developed in full swing, which greatly enriched the entertainment activities of the subjects of the empire and led a prosperous life.

The North American integration policy that the Tang Empire vigorously promoted after the North American War, except for the North and South of the United States, did not establish borders with each other and allowed free passage after completing simple border procedures, which greatly promoted the process of a unified market.

Generally speaking

It only takes more than ten yuan to complete the customs clearance procedures. There is no need to apply in advance. It is very convenient to go through the process at the border crossing.

However, if anyone is found to have failed to comply with border clearance procedures and entered without authorization, all North American countries will uniformly impose high penalties, with different specific regulations.

Regulations of the Tang Empire;

If black people who are strictly prohibited from entering are caught, they will be thrown into hard labor camps. If they are white people with only foreign passports, Chinese, Indians or other Central Americans, they will be sentenced to community labor for one to three months and fined 5,000 tang.

Yuan measures.

Regulations of the United States of America;

Violators of border clearance regulations will be sentenced to one week in jail and fined US$2,000.

Regulations of the United States of America;

Those who violate border customs clearance regulations will be sentenced to one to three months of agricultural labor and fined 3,000 to 5,000 US dollars, with half the penalty for women and children.

Canada is relatively relaxed. Because it is located in a cold zone at high latitudes, the population outflow from the British Canadian colony is greater than the inflow, resulting in a large labor gap.

Therefore, Canada only imposes a penalty of 50 pounds for those who violate immigration regulations, without any other additional punitive measures.

even so

There are also very few people who cross the border to Canada without permission, except those desperate gangsters or criminals on the run. No one wants to go to the cold and lonely Canada to suffer.

The comprehensive implementation of cultural and entertainment initiatives not only greatly enriched the cultural and entertainment life in the native cities of the Tang Empire, but also increased the attraction of immigrants, making many white immigrants willing to come and live in the prosperous imperial metropolis.

In particular, the rich culture, sports and night market economy in megacities with a population of one million, such as Chang'an, Los Angeles, Chicago, Mexico City, and Taoyuan, make these cities a paradise that people yearn for.

The superior life, low prices, abundant cultural and entertainment activities, and the night-time scenery of the bustling city have become the labels of the empire's native metropolises, attracting more and more immigrants.

According to the statistics;

The total European population that immigrated to North America in 1869 was about 1.176 million, of which about 1/3 flowed into the Tang Empire. They were mainly German, Irish and Italian immigrants. Among them, German immigrants preferred the Great Plains cities in central North America, such as Chicago.

Detroit, Taoyuan and other cities.

in these cities

There are many communities and streets where German immigrants gather. There are no obstacles in life, it is easier to find a job, they can enjoy equal national treatment, and their life is more comfortable.

Irish and Italian immigrants prefer large cities on the west coast of the empire, such as Chang'an, Los Angeles, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, etc., where the economy is prosperous and there are many job opportunities, and it is a relatively wealthy area in the empire's native tradition.

National integration promoted the Tang Empire to become more prosperous. Whether in the fields of science, economy or culture, a large number of achievements that represented the advanced level of the world have emerged explosively, promoting all-round development of society.
