Lu Jia, who had been idle at home and was forced to learn about Lu Hun's ancient books, was so excited that he almost shed tears when he received the emperor's edict.

During the year he traveled all over the tribe, learning about their previous history.

However, due to the long period of time and the fact that the Kingdom of Lu Hun has long since perished, there is very little information preserved.

More often than not, some history passed down by word of mouth.

But the authenticity of this part is very debatable.

Four or five hundred years, to say the least, is the inheritance of 20 generations, even if each generation only remembers one word wrong, it will be 20 words in a row.

After His Majesty let himself know the historical records and humanistic materials of the ancient kingdom of Lu Hun, Lu Jia guessed that he might have to go west next.

Besides, His Majesty specially explained that he wanted to summarize the experience of the envoy Yueshi more.

What did Lu Jia do the most on this mission?

It is not in exchange for war horses, but to collect some things from the grassland, poisonous flowers and plants, the living habits of nomads, and so on.

And after he returned, all this information was sent to the northern cavalry unit led by Han Xin.

It's hard to say whether the last battle played a role, but in the long run, it should have an effect.

"Looking for a crop with a hard shell and a snow-white soft interior?" Lu Jia searched for memories with great difficulty, as if he wanted to find this crop.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything about the crop.

"Can you eat this thing?" Lu Jia wondered.

If you can eat it, even if you don't know it, your clansmen should know more or less.

For this trip, Lu Jia deliberately learned about some edible creatures and shapes in the Western Regions.

This is mainly because when Lu Jia learned about the Western Regions, he heard that some places were deserted, and often he might not be able to see a family for ten days and half a month.

"It's not for food, it's for clothes, so that people don't feel cold in winter." Wang Bu was hungry and said directly.

Cotton, this time is a must-get.

And the benefits of introducing cotton, not to mention Wang Bu is hungry to talk about it.

It was just that it wasn't that cold, so I just ignored it.

"The minister has written it down!" Lu Jia nodded, and silently wrote down this special explanation from the emperor in his heart.

"There are only two purposes for this trip, to observe the cultural and national conditions along the way, to choose suitable places to prepare for the construction of post stations in the future, and to search for seeds of various crops in various countries along the way, the kind that the Han does not have! Once you've found the thing I said, the mission can be back! The king was not hungry and told again.

Even if they are brought back, the number of seeds is very limited.

In the first year, seeds are selected to sift out the dead seeds and give birth to new ones.

Then large-scale breeding is required for several years in a row, until the number of seeds is sufficient, and large-scale planting can be promoted.

In today's Han Dynasty, there are still too few crop types.

What Wang is not hungry pursues is not just the number of types, but the balance of nutritional value.

Those really high-yield crops are still wandering on the other side of the ocean, anyway, Wang Bu is hungry because he feels that he will not have this opportunity in his life.

"Your Majesty, when will the ministers leave?" Lu Jia asked excitedly.

The mission can bring happiness to him, and the mission can make him sublimated.

Especially the feeling of pretending to be forced in front of those foreign countries......

Ah......h

What do you mean by pretending?

That's called preaching the might of the Han!

"Let's go again in the spring!" Wang Bu is not hungry, in fact, he really wants them to leave now, the sooner the better.

But this winter is too cold, and if they set off now, a large number of them will freeze to death on the road.

The anxious Lu Jia who was not hungry naturally saw it in his eyes, and as a very discerning person, of course he guessed the emperor's urgency.

Although I don't know why, as a courtier, isn't it something that should be done to share the emperor's worries?

"Your Majesty, in fact, it's not too cold now, the minister roughly calculated, the minister can actually prepare and complete it in ten days, and then walk to the west first, try to go to Jincheng to stop and rest for a while, if the weather is really not beautiful, the minister can also stop near Tianshui County to rest, wait for the spring of the next year and then open, now it is in the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult for the mission to travel, and there is no need to carry too much grain and grass, but this more than a month, after the mission enters the Western Regions, maybe it will be of great help, Maybe it's just because it's been more than a month, just in time for winter, and what His Majesty is looking for is in front of the mission? Lu Jia explained.

Zhang Buyi glanced at Lu Jia, his eyes were full of hostility.

Lick the dog!

Dute Niang's is a licking dog!

Sima Xin also glanced at Lu Jia, and then kept repeating three words in his heart.

Reject him!

Reject him!

You must refuse him!

He is ready, as long as His Majesty rejects Lu Jia, he will write that Lu Jia disregards the safety of the mission and insists on opening in winter, and His Majesty angrily reprimands him!

Want to be a licking dog?

Hehe!

Have you asked our opponents?

Isn't it a little too disrespectful?

However, Wang Buyu was seriously considering this issue.

From Luoyang to Jincheng, it is about two thousand miles, and the journey takes one and a half months, but in winter, things are uncertain.

However, convenience is indeed very convenient, and there are counties all over the country along the way.

When the mission is in the country, it never carries more than three days' rations.

Generally speaking, every place and place must be received with the highest standard, and then a certain ration will be supplemented for it.

They will not be supplied with a large amount of food and grass until the last city or military camp on the border, because after that, the devil knows when they will find supplies.

So take advantage of the fact that it has just entered winter, and it is not theoretically the coldest time, so you can go as far as you can go.

This idea also works, no matter how cold it is, it is only a day, and at night they can live in the post station, or they can live in other places, in short, there is no need to camp in the open.

"Good!" Wang Bu was not hungry and agreed directly.

I can't find a reason to refuse.

"I'll give you a thousand forbidden troops!" Wang Buyu said directly, then turned his head to look at Zhang Buyi, and instructed: "Immediately select a thousand people from the forbidden army, and if they are voluntary, the soldiers who will accompany the mission will each be promoted to the third rank!" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't this promotion to the third level too much?" Zhang Buyi pursed his mouth, and looked at Lu Jia with a resentful look in his eyes, are you still shameless for licking a dog?

Sima Xin suddenly shuddered, sighed helplessly in his heart, and stroked out the words he had just written.

Dog's day, you actually licked it?

Let's make a face, okay?

"Many?" Wang Bu was not hungry and smiled, and then said: "I don't think it's too much, they are walking the road that Zhuxia has never walked, they are exploring the way for the future development of the Han Dynasty, they are the forerunners of the Han Dynasty, and on the day the mission returns, I will reward them fiercely!" ”

The first mission is always miserable, and everything in front of you is unknown.

And this mission is a completely different result from the last mission, Yueshi is a neighboring country, and there is no need to cross mountains and mountains and cross one country after another.

But this mission has no destination, and no one knows where the next stop will be.

Even if the king is not hungry, he only knows about the countries of the Western Regions, and there are hundreds of them.

And when Zhang Qian went on an envoy for the first time in history, what was the result of the mission?

There is no record in the history books of how many people went out, but only Zhang Qian and Chengyi's father came back, as well as their Xiongnu wives.

Although now it seems that the Huns most likely have no chance to intercept the mission.

But the Western Regions region is dangerous, and for the Han Dynasty, there are unknowns everywhere.

Even though the titles on the forbidden army are not low for soldiers, what about upgrading them to a third-level knighthood before going on the expedition?

Is it excessive?

The king is not hungry and does not feel excessive at all, it is still the same sentence, how can there be any quiet years, but someone is carrying the weight for you.

Wang Buxing understood this sentence very thoroughly, so he never thought of disappointing these people.

Ordinary people may not see the meaning of the mission.

But Wang Buyu and the high-level of the imperial court could see that he was preparing for the Han Dynasty's future expedition to the west, and he was preparing for the Han Dynasty's expansion of territory.

Although no one knows when this day will come, there are some things that someone has to do.

Without thick accumulation, where does thin hair come from?

Rome was not built in a day, and Wang Buyu felt that this sentence could be changed in the future, and it was not built in a day to change it to the Han Dynasty.

And the king's ambition is greater than that of any man in the world.

Chen Ping, who had not spoken up, also spoke up.

At this moment, he seemed to have touched His Majesty's majesty and ambition.

In retrospect, isn't everything for the future?

Why should a good military system be reformed?

Isn't it precisely because of the reformed system that the troops can adapt to expeditions?

And the army before the reform, let him stay motionless for three years, the battalion will definitely sigh, without a general with high prestige in person, can't he suppress this resentment at all?

"It's not an exaggeration......
