Chapter 659: Western Capital

Zhang Kuishan was originally just a guard in Huaiyuan Town, but now the entire Western Regions is under his control, compared to the feudal officials, and his subordinates are naturally stained with a lot of light, and all this is because of Wang Xiang.

When Xiao Jin first appeared in the ranch, he startled the soldiers guarding the ranch, and after learning that this was the mutant creature that Wang Xiang had subdued, he was even more in awe of Wang Xiang.

"Master Hou must be tired from the long journey, and the lower officials have already asked people to prepare a banquet."

Wang Xiang nodded and did not refuse Jiang Shanxing's enthusiasm, since leaving the Zheng family, they have been camping and picnicking all the way, and they really haven't had a good meal, although the picnic is more fun, but after all, it is not as comfortable as the formal banquet.

"Let someone get some food for Xiao Jin."

Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Xiao Jin roared excitedly, Jiang Shanxing hurriedly nodded and said, "No...... No problem, there are a lot of yaks in the pasture. "Just looking at Xiao Jin's size, I know that I'm afraid that a whole yak will not be enough for him to eat.

Speaking of the yak, Wang Xiang suddenly remembered the matter of the boy from the Western Regions, and told him what had just happened.

"I don't blame him for this, it's that I rode Xiaojin and suddenly approached that scared those yaks."

Wang Xiang said this, Jiang Shanxing naturally would not blame the boy in the Western Regions, besides, a dozen yaks are nothing to the ranch, the ranch managed by Jiang Shanxing alone has hundreds of yaks and thousands of antelopes, and Jiang Shanxing is planning to continue to expand the ranch, the land of the Western Regions lacks everything except the fertile grassland, which is endless, and there is no end in sight for a day of running on a horse.

Instead of being blamed by Jiang Shanxing, Xiao Tong also got a few pieces of money and left happily, and he could continue to help the ranch herd cattle in the future.

After eating, Xiao Lori and Li Zhi took Xiao Jin out to play, and Xiao Jin accompanied Wang Xiang without worrying about any danger they would encounter, and he himself was taken by Jiang Shanxing to visit the ranch, and couldn't help but be very surprised by the scale of the ranch.

Jiang Shanxing smiled proudly: "When the weather is warmer, some pastures will be expanded." ”

Wang Xiang nodded and asked, "How many ranches like this are there in the Western Regions?" Are they all on this scale? ”

After listening to Wang Xiang's question, Jiang Shanxing replied: "Lord Zhang divided the Western Regions Grassland into twenty districts, each of which has more than 100 pastures, and the ranch of Xiaguan is not large because it was built at the beginning of last year. ”

There are 20 districts, and there are more than 100 pastures in each district, that is, there are more than 2,000 pastures in total, and Jiang Shanxing's ranch is not large, there are hundreds of yaks and thousands of antelopes, so there are hundreds of thousands of yaks and antelopes in the entire Western Regions. Wang Xiang couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

It is no wonder that the price of beef and mutton in Chang'an has become so cheap, that is, ordinary people can often buy some beef and mutton at home to go back for tooth sacrifices.

From Jiang Shanxing's mouth, Wang Xiang understood that this was only the edge of the Western Regions, and there was still a considerable distance from the central Metropolitan Protectorate.

Wang Xiang went to the Western Regions this time to find Zhang Kuishan in the Duhu Mansion, and after resting for one night in the mu yield, he set off to the Duhu Mansion the next day, and Jiang Shanxing specially sent a person from the Western Regions who was familiar with the route to show them the way.

In this way, after two days, the open grassland gradually became lively, first a yurt-like tent, and then gradually appeared ordinary houses, the town where the capital is located was originally a small town in Yanqi, and now it has been renamed the Western Capital, and the construction of the Western Capital is not inferior to some prosperous cities in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not far from a super metropolis like Luoyang, Chang'an.

Walking into the Western Capital, it is almost hard to believe that this is the Western Regions, with Tang Dynasty style buildings, restaurants, teahouses, and pharmacies on both sides of the wide streets...... Walking on the street is the same as walking on the bustling streets of Chang'an, the only difference is that most of the people around are from the Western Regions, but most of the shops on both sides are opened by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and obviously they know how to do business better.

When he rode Xiaojin into the Western Capital, it also caused a lot of commotion, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly sent people to inform Zhang Kuishan after Wang Xiang's apparent identity.

After walking for a while, I saw Zhang Kuishan hurriedly greeted him with people, followed by a few acquaintances, one was Ma Wenxin, who was rescued by Wang Xiang from the Turks, and the other was Qing'er, who followed Ma Wenxin to come here.

The current Qing'er has changed her previous amorous style, and has become gentle and graceful, leaning on Ma Wenxin's side with a bird-like look, and her eyes can't help but show excitement when she sees Wang Xiang.

She is very satisfied with her current life, and all this is given to him by Wang Xiang.

"Master Hou!"

Zhang Kuishan and Ma Wenxin also looked very excited, but because Xiao Jin's image was too terrifying, they didn't dare to go too far ahead, if it weren't for the soldiers who went back to report before who talked about Xiao Jin, I'm afraid they would be even more nervous at the moment.

When they came to the Duhu Mansion with Zhang Kuishan and others, and placed Xiaojin in the backyard of the mansion, Zhang Kuishan and Ma Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Hou, who is that big tiger?"

Wang Xiang explained: "That's a mutant golden tiger that I took in on the road, and it won't hurt people casually. ”

"Even such a giant tiger marquis can be subdued, it is really very comparable."

Although these words have flattering meanings, most of them are sincere, and Wang Xiang does have too many things that make them marvel and admire.

Seeing that Qing'er had been looking at herself beside her, Wang Xiang knew what she was thinking, and took out a letter from her arms with a smile and said, "This is the letter from Ning Xiang and Xiaoyun, I almost forgot it." ”

Qing'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly took the letter and ran to the side to read it.

Wang Xiang looked at Qing'er suspiciously, and always felt that there was something strange.

Zhang Kuishan saw Wang Xiang's doubts, and laughed: "Brother Ma is about to become a father." ”

Wang Xiang suddenly realized that Qing'er's belly was obviously bigger than before, and at first he thought that Qing'er had gained weight, but it turned out that she was pregnant.

"So I really want to congratulate Ma Gongzi."

Ma Wenxin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Ma Wenxin can have today all thanks to the help of Hou Ye, Hou Ye will not dare to forget Ma Wenxin's great kindness to Ma Wenxin for the rest of his life." ”

Wang Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't help much, you can have today all by your own efforts, Lord Zhang has praised your talent many times in his letters to His Majesty." ”

Ma Wenxin followed Zhang Kuishan to manage the Western Regions like a fish in water, and now he has reached the fourth grade, and Chen Haobai and others, who were called the four great talents of Luoyang with him, are still white.

From Ma Wenxin's mouth, Wang Xiang learned that he was going back to Chang'an to report in a few days, and he would take Qing'er back with him when the time came, so he smiled and said: "That's fine, Ning Xiang and Xiaoyun told me a few days ago that they hadn't seen Qing'er for a long time, and if they knew that Qing'er was pregnant, they would definitely be happy for her." ”

The three chatted for a while, and Wang Xiang finally mentioned the purpose of coming to the Western Regions this time.
