Li Dahai has no intention of exchanging commercial goods! And he didn't have many things with him. So he refused the gathered people and quickly led the caravan away.

Along the way, there is still well-organized arable land. And the scattered forests are becoming less and less. There were more and more villages, and within ten miles he saw several villages.

Most of the fields were planted with barley and wheat, all of which were golden and full of grains. Patches of green grape vines appear in front of and behind the houses. It bears large purplish-red grapes, apparently ripe.

The official road is starting to widen! Poplar trees are also planted along the way, one after the other, thick and shapely. The sun poured down, casting large shadows on the ground. They walked on it and felt much cooler.

It is also the heat of the Malu realm, and it is dry heat. As long as it's not shining in the sun, it won't be very hot. And because of the lack of moisture, there is not much sweat on the body.

So ordinary people don't often take a bath.

Further on, there are fewer and fewer fields and more houses. A majestic earthy yellow wall has appeared on the horizon.

The earthy yellow houses extend outward from the base of the wall. During this period, there were small patches of fields that stretched to the small river on the other side. It was a bazaar, and the houses were much taller than those in the town of Bydam.

A church with a cross roof stands in the center of the market, making it the tallest building within a radius of miles.

Li Dahai knew that this was a church of faith in God. In Balasagon he saw not many such churches. And there are many people in the Qarluq tribe who believe in God.

It's just that he's a little weird! It is said that only Puritanism is worshiped in Khorasan, and other sects are forbidden. How could that allow Nestorianism to appear here.

Looking at the believers coming and going in the church, it seems that the incense is still very strong.

It was also because he had been away from Khorasan for so long that he was not aware of the religious decree issued by the Governor's Office last year.

In order to respect the freedom of worship of caravans of various countries, other religions are not prohibited in Khorasan. However, churches are not allowed in urban areas. And with the exception of Puritanism, other religions were not allowed to propagate their teachings outside of the church.

This is also to show the tolerance and generosity of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan!

Of course, it's more about promoting business.

After all, the caravans to and from Khorasan were not all Muslims. In the face of the religious policies of the Doge's Palace, it is easy to scare them away.

However, there is no such tolerance for Muslims.

No Muslim, any denomination, is allowed to believe in a denomination other than Puritanism. Violators are denounced as heretics and reduced to an undesirable category. And for them, there is also a personal faith tax.

This has made other sects, such as Shiites and Sunnis, which have already suffered blows, even more on the verge of extinction. In Khorasan at least, not a single common man or imam dared to proclaim in the streets that he was a member of a non-Puritan sect.

This religious policy, which was very strict internally and relaxed externally, allowed the Hohorasan Governor's Office to not only improve the cohesion of Muslims in their faith, but also avoid excluding believers of other religions.

And because the Governor's Office did not levy a faith tax on other religions, it also won the favor of pagans in Persia, Baghdad, Byzantium and other places.

Reflected in commerce, there are more caravans.

Li Dahai, who didn't know these causes and effects, passed by the market with curiosity. Because of the large number of caravans, and most of them are oriental faces. Therefore, many shopkeepers have stepped forward and want to exchange goods.

Li Dahai had to ask the guards to explain many times and squeeze through the crowd before finally leaving the market.

But then, merchants gathered along the way, expressing their requests to exchange goods. Li Dahai hurriedly sped up his speed and rushed to Malu City as fast as he fled.

Later, he learned that the city wall he saw was only the outer city of Malu. The unwalled bazaars we had seen before were due to the fact that the city was expanding too quickly to build walls.

In addition, when entering the city, there are many more rules. This made everyone in the caravan feel very fresh. In particular, the wide concrete road makes it difficult for many people to believe that this is true.

Gao Yi didn't expect that there would be such a prosperous city in the Western Regions, which was rumored to be full of sand and stones. Even compared with the most prosperous Zhongxing Mansion in Great Xia, it is not bad at all.

Li Dahai's first priority was to see Li Chengji, so he casually found an inn, settled the caravan, and rushed to the location of the governor's palace.

And Li Chengji, who had just returned home, heard that Li Dahai asked to see him, and he was stunned for a long time before he was ecstatic and asked Li Dahai to come in.

Compared with before leaving, Li Dahai is a lot darker. And at the age of twenty and six, folds appeared on his face. Obviously, the journey at sea was not so smooth.

"Young Master!" , Li Dahai saw Li Chengji, who had obviously grown taller and more handsome, and choked up a little.

After all, it's been some years of separation! Things are people, and it is inevitable that people will have a lot of feelings.

Li Chengji was also embarrassed, so he said a few words of relief. He also ordered someone to give Li Dahai a seat, and at the same time put the best refreshments in the Governor's Palace.

This act of relief moved Li Dahai. He slowly talked about what he saw and heard along the way after he left Puhua. When it comes to the danger, Li Chengji can't help but sweat for it.

Fortunately, in the end, all of them were saved from danger.

Because there were too many things to see and hear on the road, Li Chengji was afraid that Li Dahai would be tired. Just stop talking first, let him go down and rest for a while, and talk about it tomorrow.

In order to show his favor, Li Chengji also let Li Dahai temporarily live in the Governor's Palace. This honor is not even the six great Diwan.

Although Li Dahai didn't know about this, he still knew about the extraordinary status of the Governor's Palace. So I was immediately frightened and didn't know how to deal with myself.

It was Li Chengji who ordered him to stay in the Governor's Palace.

Li Dahai held back the panic in his heart, and tremblingly, under the guidance of the maid, went to the bathhouse of the governor's palace to wash his body.

When the maid wiped his body with the fragrant soap, he threw her into the cool water like a wild beast. Immediately, a large splash of water splashed, making the entire bathhouse ripple with boundless chun-color.

The next day, he slowly put on a white robe under the service of the blushing maid. Then under the guidance of the waiter, he was brought to Li Chengji to have dinner together.

Li Dahai, who was a little flattered, still didn't dare to sit down. Until Li Chengji bluffed his face and ordered him to sit down. I dared to sit on a third of the stool, stiffening.

But when he eats, he is very careful not to make a sound. If he was seen by a caravan following him, he would have been astonished. Because in my impression, Li Dahai, who is always confident, has never been so restrained.
