Hessrul tells us that the location where the current horse team is located is the birthplace of the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian kingdoms.

The Tigris from the Zagros Mountains and the Euphrates from the Netoros Mountains run side by side here, all the way to the sea in the southeast.

The land along the two great rivers is fertile, rich in water and grass, rich in wheat, cotton, dates, and oil, and is a rare place of abundance in the world.

The city-state of Babylon, where his father Yi Fengnian now lives, is only more than 500 miles away.

"Brother, let's go to Babylon first! When we find our father, we don't know how he's doing now. Gurando pleaded, tears glistening in her eyes.

Poor woman, like our brothers, the shadow of our father has long been blurred in our minds.

When I went to visit my father, whom I hadn't seen for more than ten years, my heart suddenly became apprehensive.

I still vaguely remember the past when I was a child, and my father's appearance was very similar to that of his second brother Yi Wuwei when he grew up, and now he is in Xiapi County in the Eastern Jin Kingdom of Middle Earth.

What is certain is that in the streets of the city-state of Babylon today, our father and son may not recognize each other when they pass by.

"Young master, don't worry, Ruhr and I have been following Brother Fengnian for two or three years! We were also at the scene of your father's departure back then! ”

Brother Langton saw my doubts and quickly relieved.

"Oh well! Go to Babylon first! I would like to see if our father is enjoying all the glory and wealth over there, or if he is begging on the street because of poverty and has no face to see his family again! ”

Speaking of this, a sense of resentment that I had never felt before came to my heart.

What kind of deep hatred made my father ignore his parents and his son, and he had a home for so many years.

Just because she is not in harmony with her mother and wife, she is a foreign woman who is in love with her first love, and this reason is unjustifiable.

"Young master, let go of the previous grievances. After your father and son meet this time, don't mention the previous things, just tell him that the door of Qingfengze's hometown will always be open to him and the lady and heirs here! The old lady just wants to see her only son in her lifetime! ”

Thinking of the past, Brother Ruhl couldn't help but feel sad, he knew how hard the incident of my father's departure fifteen years ago was to our entire family.

"Brother, grandma doesn't blame my father anymore, you can forgive him too!" Gulando reassured.

"Yes, young master, this time we went to Babylon to see Lord Fengnian, we have all the good things to say, and there is only one purpose, let him go back to Khotan with us!"

Shamihan's horse had been tied, and he turned onto the road.

"Master Fengnian is living comfortably here, if his wife and children are like the natives on the side of the road, then don't say anything, the whole family will go back to Khotan with us!"

"If that's the case, we won't go to Rome, take a boat directly from the mouth of the great river to Sinhala, and then transfer to the sea ship that goes to Middle-earth Jiankang!"

On the way south to the city-state of Babylon, everyone exchanged their opinions on the next trip.

The sky is as blue as a wash, the golden fields on both sides of the road are lined with farmers harvesting ripe wheat, and a dilapidated Sumerian temple towers over a date palm grove by the roadside.

Passers-by can only imagine its glory days thousands of years ago by virtue of its long black stone walls.

"Liu Zhen'er, what are you doing in Jiankang? If you want to go back, you will also return to the clear breeze of Khotan! ”

Listening to the pot helmet Liu shouting to go to Jiankang of the Han Kingdom of the Eastern Jin Dynasty by sea, Sha Mihan questioned impatiently.

"Aren't Wu Wei and the young master of Chang'an all there! Longxi Manor is so big, the whole family of Lord Fengnian can go there to settle down! ”

Liu Zhen'er smiled, flicking the soft whip leisurely, never mentioning that she wanted to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to meet Miss Lan.

"So be it! I will return to Khotan by the same route to report to the old man and the old lady and Mrs. Khotan, you take the sea route! ”

When it comes to going home, Shamihan is already a bit of a home.

And the same newlywed Yan'er is far away from home, but I don't have the same urgency as the old man.

The affection for his new wife, Kuzhina, is as light as water, and can only be thought of when she is thirsty.

Maybe without the catastrophe of Loulan Kingdom, between her and Shangguan Yanxi, the daughter of the Los Angeles Post, and the girl Yamika of Rome City, I would prefer to marry Miss Yanxi as my wife.

It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and marriage is often the will of God.

"It's already in Eastern Rome, and we're definitely going to Rome!" Stop by and see if there are any special products that you can trade with us in the future! ”

Seeing that Shamihan was arguing with them about how to get back, I made a final decision, dispelling their thoughts of returning halfway.

"Young master, the wheat in these two river basins is famous all over the world, and the yield is several times that of corn and sorghum in your Dongtu Guanzhong area! When we turned around, the young master bought some seeds of wheat and brought them back, and promoted planting them in the east for the benefit of all people! ”

Hesrul dismounted from his horse, plucked a few heavy ears of wheat from the field of wheat by the roadside, and handed them to me.

Smelling the wheat seems to smell the smell of naan, but the yield of wheat, which is in the oases of Khotan and its surroundings in the Western Regions, can be distinguished from the size of the ears of wheat.

If the wheat seeds in this place can be successfully introduced into the Daodong Tuhan Kingdom, wouldn't it be a great good deed for the benefit of all things in the world!

"Qulandou has written down that when we return from Rome in the future, we must buy a few hundred catties of wheat seeds in Babylon and bring them back to Khotan!" I told my little sister.

"Not only the seeds of wheat, but cotton is a crop that is so useful to poor families who cannot afford silk! Purchase some too! ”

Gulandor sighed as he looked at the verdant green crops on the side of the wheat fields in the field.

Brother Ruhr told us that these are cotton fields, and snow white cotton grows every autumn and winter.

However, I am worried about whether these Persian and Roman crops will be able to grow and multiply when they are brought to the East.

There is a saying in "Yan Zi Makes Chu": orange is orange when it is born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and the leaves are similar, but the taste is different.

But in any case, since I have seen these gods, I will bring some back anyway.

In case it can be planted in the Eastern Tuhan Kingdom! Just as the grapes, radishes, and broad beans from the Western Regions were transmitted to the Han region, it would enable the people of Wanjia to get rid of hunger and cold.

The Babylonian wheat and cotton seeds were the second major business I have encountered since my journey to the west, the first being the Persian fine iron armor of the Brahmana and the silk trade of Middle-earth.

If these two businesses can be completed in my lifetime, the rich world will be just around the corner!

However, the quality of cotton cloth and how to spin the yarn into cloth is only one side of Hesruer's words.

It will be necessary to see what to do when we arrive in the city of Babylon before we can make a final conclusion.

We rode down the wide, flat ancient road along the Tigris River to the southwest, and the villages along the way gradually became more and more populated.

From time to time, there are cars and horses rushing past us on the ancient road, whether they are businessmen or officials, and all kinds of people are different.

If it weren't for the reddish-yellow sand hills beyond the horizon, and the ruins of dynasties with obvious exotic styles everywhere, I would have felt a bit of a trance walking on the loess plateau of Middle-earth in the middle of summer.

Maybe it's because our hairstyles have become more like the Egyptians and the native Sumerian natives, or maybe it's a place where all directions come together.

For the past millennia, the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Persians, and the Romans have taken turns to reign in this land, and today's inhabitants may not even know where their ancestors came from or what ethnicity they are.

The long-term integration of so many races and the penetration of different civilizations have made it strange for foreign races to be found here compared to other places.

So along the way, we were ordinary passers-by, whether we ate or dined in a roadside inn, and the attention we received was far less than that of the cities of Herat and Sberham that we passed by on the way.

It's so good that there won't be so many natives watching us like jugglers, and it saves a lot of trouble.

In the hot summer afternoon, we will take a short break in the date palm grove of the ancient village on the bank of the river, go to the river to wash and bathe, and meet some local women who wash and play in the water by the river.

Being in a rich country, facing the water of a big river, and living in a place where hundreds of ethnic groups live together, these women from the Babylonian homeland are ordinary mountains and villages in the eyes of us Orientals.

Graceful and passionate, and the legacy of today's Roman state is exposed and charming.

It is no wonder that my father would be a Babylonian beauty back then, and he did not hesitate to leave everything in the world and leave the country.

Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er have become active again these days, and they like to run by the river when they have nothing to do, hoping to see the beauty of a woman, but the affection in their hearts.

To escape the heat at noon, you must choose the date palm forest in the wild village by the river.

In this way, there is an opportunity to flirt with those favorite women you meet by chance, and you are not a romantic teenager!

Shamihan and I are now husbands, and with our younger sister Gulando supervising us, we can no longer mess around with Qin Chong and them as we did before.

So every now and then, we would follow the example of Ruhr and Langton, and tie the net bed given by the head of the Persian Grande to a tree, and lay down on it with our legs raised and fell asleep.

In addition to drawing a road map, Gulando has a new hobby, which is to learn the art of spinning cotton yarn with some village women in each wild village.

After a few days of study, Gulandau ceased to be a disciple and became a teacher who taught these indigenous women how to spin and weave.

The process of silkworm reeling and silk weaving in the Eastern Tuhan Kingdom is similar to the skill of cotton spinning and weaving, but the efficiency and speed are different from heaven and earth.
