Walking all the way to the Western Regions, you can see a large area of the Gobi Road at a glance. Although it is not very serious, there are very few trees here, but there is a lot of grass along the way, and you can see that a lot of it is alfalfa grass. Along the way, the businessman still listened to Liu Zhang's words, and even if he threw some grass seeds on the way, it would be good. Occasionally, near the water source, you can see a lot of trees.

Date palms, red willows, salix trees, salt-tolerant shrubs, or poplar trees are all very good trees, and it is best to plant them here. Fruits such as jujube are also very good cash crops, and Liu Zhang encourages the cultivation of such trees. Although they are all shrubs, the overall transformation should be carried out little by little......

"Your Majesty, this place is really too desolate......" suddenly came from the world to this desolate place, at first the scenery was not bad, but after that there was only a dull and boring feeling.

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "There is no way, when the Western Han Dynasty passed through the Western Regions, we sent out a huge amount of wealth and brought back some useless things. Now that we are going out of the Western Regions again, we will also send some useless things and bring back a huge amount of wealth. "Liu Zhang has always been angry about ancient China exporting science and technology to the outside world and bringing some useless honors back. Strengthens others, and lets others clean themselves up.

Liu Zhang's mood on the horse is still very good, and it is difficult to go to the frontier in this kind of desolation in later generations. Even if you go to the frontier, it is not so easy to see, after all, as the world's largest country in terms of population, it is really difficult to see a few people.

When they were camping at night, Zhang Ren and Ma Chao also went out to hunt some game. There are a lot of little things like wolves and foxes and rabbits here, and there are a lot of little things raised by the bushes and a lot of grass. It seems that it is quite cost-effective, seeing that Zhang Ren and the others are returning with a full load, they are going to add vegetables tonight......

The army eats big pot dishes, and Liu Zhang and several people eat small pot dishes. It's best to light a campfire and bake something in the wilderness. Liu Zhang fiddled with his baked potatoes and meat skewers, not to mention that although the potatoes were tired of eating, it was still very good to have a little occasionally.

"Your Majesty tells you a story, right?" Liu Zhang looked at Xiao Qiao on the side of the bonfire and came over, and she came over with some mixed watermelon juice. This is the best thing in summer, and Xiliang is planted in large quantities here.

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales? Grimm's fairy tales? Zhu Xian? Or is it something more interesting? Do you want some kind of thriller or something like that? Detective Conan or Di Renjie? Let's have some thriller stories, it's good to see them birds......

In fact, Liu Zhang thinks too much, these two girls are obviously lacking in brains, looking at their excited appearances, there is a trace of fear there? The scheme failed completely, and there was no sense of success. Seeing that the night was already deep, Liu Zhang was also ready to rest.

Setting off again, Liu Zhang felt more and more that he was going out with the army. This is simply an attempt to waste money and food, but if there is more food, going to the west should bring more wealth. The two small countries that entered the Western Regions have been wiped out, and the two countries of Mo and Shanshan have now been subsumed into the Han Dynasty, and Wang Lei has already sent officials to take charge.

originally thought that this place was full of chaotic people in the Western Regions, but who knew that after arriving in Shanshan, Liu Zhang found that most of the merchants here were Han people, and there were even taverns opened by Han people in the past. There are patrols here, too, and the security doesn't look bad or something? In such a small city, there is actually a smell of concession......

The officials in the city saw that Liu Zhang sent some food, and Liu Zhang sent him away, walked around the neighborhood for a while, and watched Liu Zhang for a long time before leaving. Where there are people, there will be prosperity, and where there are interests, there will be prosperity. Because the sea route has not yet been fully opened, it is still quite easy to use the land route.

Once the sea routes were opened to trade and several small surrounding countries were enslaved by Liu Zhang, then the land routes would slowly decrease until new means of transportation appeared. However, where there are interests, there will always be businessmen, and Liu Zhang does not have to worry about these problems at all. Although it is not all Han Chinese, it seems to be very harmonious.

After watching Liu Zhang for a while, he went back to rest, and this place is already the best at present. Explain that the officials vigorously develop the plants here, and it is really not possible to plant more sand date trees. In short, as long as you find something to do, you can grow anything in such a large area anyway. In the end, it only needs to be harvested, and naturally there will be merchants to collect it. Small things can also be sold for money, and you don't have to take care of them.

Leaving Shanshan Town, Liu Zhang also went all the way to the refinement. The road to refinement is not as serious as desertification, and the ancient city of Loulan still exists at this time, I don't know if I let them plant trees? But it's a good place to be, with bushes and the occasional critter to be seen. Limestone can be used on the periphery to prevent poisonous snakes and the like, and I heard that there are many poisonous snakes in the essence......

Liu Zhang hates snakes very much, and in this era, he was bitten by a poisonous snake and waited for death. This is also the reason why the south is terrible, and there should be this point to pay attention to here in the Western Regions. Along the way, except for Liu Zhang's storytelling at night, it was always boring to be in a hurry. Finally, when it was almost time to reach the end of refinement, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

It is obviously very green here, and if this is done for two or three hundred years, the entire Western Regions should be preserved. As the climate changes, so does the environment. But if artificial protection is made, it can definitely prolong or even change the environment. Looking at Ma Teng, who had already rushed over in the distance, Liu Zhang put aside these messy thoughts.

There are sweaty BMWs in the Western Regions, I don't know if I want to get one? But forget it, I still don't need such a good BMW. Ma Teng galloped all the way over, got off the horse and immediately said: "Your Majesty......" He was still very happy that Liu Zhang could come, after all, he was here to inspect the work. If you do a good job, you may be rewarded.

Liu Zhang dismounted and glanced at Ma Teng, and then the exquisite Niya also rushed over. She looks quite interesting when she changes into exquisite clothes, and she seems to have developed well after so many years? The airfield has also turned into a hilly ......

"Shoucheng has good greenery here? How many of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions still exist? Liu Zhang took the lead and walked towards the city, the environment here is obviously copied from the shape of Chang'an, and the road is also good.

Ma Teng immediately said: "Your Majesty said that the Western Regions said that there were thirty-six countries, but only these seven or eight were relatively large, and the rest of the countries did not need to send troops at all, they themselves were about to die." The further north you go, the worse the environment. Over the years, we have mobilized a large number of people to plant trees...... "Ma Teng is also helpless, although there are many countries in the Western Regions, there is really no one who is enough to fight. The earthen cannon was pulled out casually, and the countries of the Western Regions surrendered directly.

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "In addition to ensuring the safety of the trade road, governance here must be the top priority." I have already written a manual of governance and development, and when I look back...... "The Western Regions is not a hinterland, and simple means will do."

"Your Majesty came to the Western Regions this time, is it just for governance?" Niya on one side walked over, and now she is the queen of the essence, and the queen of the previous generation seems to be dead?

Liu Zhang glanced at her, and also glanced at her chest by the way: "Of course, it's just to come and see governance, otherwise what do you think?" "For Rome and other places in the west, Liu Zhang doesn't plan to take the land route, for now, it is relatively fast to travel by sea. Britain could conquer a huge area with warships in later generations, so why couldn't Liu Zhang?

Although Niya didn't speak, she definitely didn't believe that Liu Zhang just came to see. If it is governance, it is completely unnecessary, but she does not dare to question Liu Zhang. Anyway, what he came to do, Niya could only watch. No matter what Liu Zhang does, they can only do it.

The Exquisite Ancient City looks like it has been renovated, and what is that strange face carved on it? And those strange little stone towers, what are these? In short, the architectural style here is very abstract, after all, this is their imagination, but it is said that the thinking of the ancients is actually very exuding, which has to be admitted. It was only later that there were more constraints, and this was completely solidified in thinking.

"Are there many poisonous snakes here?" Liu Zhang still asked a very critical question, which was caused by later books.

Ma Teng on the side said: "There are some in the jungle and the valley in the distance, but in general, there are absolutely none in the city. Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask this? Ma Teng didn't understand a little, what is a poisonous snake and not something that can be done with a knife?

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Go in and rest, let's talk about it tomorrow." "It's getting late today, and Liu Zhang doesn't want to say anything more. The situation here is much better than he imagined, so it seems that the Western Regions is definitely worth governing, and it can even be said that it is worth Liu Zhang's effort to completely occupy it, so as to slowly expand externally. This is a peace-loving race that has never stopped expanding abroad. Because of the large population, because of the concerted efforts, this is the reason for progress.

Liu Zhang's purpose in coming to the Western Regions is to improve the environmental governance on the one hand, and to see the surrounding situation on the other hand. Now it seems that all this is not bad, as for the surrounding situation, I am looking back. It is rich in resources and is also the most important transportation road to the west. It's a bit of a stretch to Europe by water, but it's even farther by land than by water.

Of course, for the news from the west, Liu Zhang just wanted to inquire about it, and by the way, to see if there was any opportunistic thing. The surrounding things have been almost done, and the number of troops is also very objective, Liu Zhang needs more wealth to develop his own needs.
