"How so? It's not at all like a country that has experienced sandstorms and locust plagues. Anyway, along the way, I didn't seem to find many locusts. ”

The merchants of the Central Plains were shocked, and as soon as they inquired about it, they knew that this disaster, which was almost annihilated, was resolved by the princess of Ruoqiang.

The merchants were still shocked, but they were robbed by Ruoqiang's people, saying that the king of Ruoqiang held a banquet in the palace and asked them to participate.

Although the group was apprehensive, they were inevitably shocked by Ruoqiang, who was completely different now.

The Silk Road has been mad for a year because of the sandstorms and locust plagues that swept across the desert.

If they remember correctly, the last time they came to Ruoqiang, there were more houses made of wood and sand in this royal capital.

But nowadays, the wooden houses are gone, the sand houses are gone, and some are just houses made of a material they don't know, magnificent, and some are even four stories tall!

"If the building is so high, aren't they afraid of sandstorms and houses collapsing?"

Some businessmen really couldn't hold back and asked.

The soldier who heard this immediately laughed and said, "Now that our entire Ruoqiang area has been planted with trees, the sandstorm can no longer get close to the royal capital. Besides, this kind of house, made of materials from the materials of our esteemed Highness the Princess, is stronger than any house made of any material before. ”

Some people are skeptical of this statement.

Entering the current Ruoqiang Palace, they were still amazed by the majestic palace of Ruoqiang.

After taking the seats, they were surprised to find that the person sitting on the throne was not the king of Ruoqiang, but a woman dressed in Ruoqiang clothes.

The woman is about twenty years old, and she does not have powder on her face, but she is still more dazzling than the pearl in the temple.

"Please forgive me for letting you come here in this way, mainly because I have a few big deals that I want to talk to you about."

As soon as the woman on the high seat spoke, an official reminded them, "This is our Royal Highness, my king is sick today, and Her Royal Highness will personally entertain you." ”

For some reason, the businessmen seemed to see in the eyes of the officials who spoke, "How can you people be so lucky?"

Merchants are no strangers to them, they have been walking on this Silk Road all the year round, and they still have some understanding of the fact that the people of Ruoqiang believe in their princesses.

Still, they were amazed by the beauty of the princess and her youthful appearance, which did not match her age.

At the feast, the merchants tasted the wine that had been specially prepared for them, and ate a meal made of potatoes.

Everyone was stunned by the deliciousness of the wine, which made them want to drink in the three vats!

A shrewd merchant has already asked, "Your Royal Highness, the princess of Ruoqiang, may I ask if the big business you are talking about has something to do with this beautiful color and excellent tasting wine?" ”

Chen Lian reminded: "This is wine. ”

The merchant was amazed, "Such a delicious wine is made from grapes?" ”

"That's right, I don't know if you are willing to do such a business with me Ruoqiang!" After speaking, without waiting for these shrewd businessmen to answer, he said lightly, "The most sincere of you will have a chance." ”

At this moment, the businessmen present suddenly went crazy, kept quoting, and finally Chen Lian chose one of them.

When the rest of the merchants were lost, Chen Lian took out the method of planting potatoes and the method of making cement.

Neither of these is like wine, which can be bought and sold for a long time, but it doesn't have to be long-term, and you can make a lot of money by buying and selling a lot.

The reason why these people were kidnapped was to prevent other countries from making money from the potato cultivation method.

Even if Chen Lian doesn't make money, he won't let the rest of the Western Regions countries exchange this for benefits.

He's just stingy!

In the end, Chen Lian also said to the merchants who had a good personal relationship with Ruoqiang: "I still need all kinds of knowledgeable people, if I can find a hundred, I can exempt your firm from the toll for a year." ”

As soon as these words came out, the merchant suddenly became right.

A year's worth of passing, that's definitely a sky-high amount.

Speaking of which, after that, Yanqi really wanted to use potatoes in exchange for benefits, but when he learned that Chen Lian had taken the lead, he immediately scolded Ruoqiang, the princess, in his heart for being really a dime and not eating at all, which was really annoying.

The huge profits of wine could not be hidden for a long time, and all the countries in the Western Regions were shocked when they found out.

They never knew that grapes could still make wine.

It was also at this time that they understood why Chen Lian would propose that kind of deal in the first place.

No matter how much they regret it, they can only watch Ruoqiang get richer and richer, the territory is getting wider and wider, and the population is getting bigger and bigger.

In this process of development, Chen Lian has been wary of the surrounding countries taking action against Ruoqiang.

Only then did they realize that they had no intention of doing so.

One by one, they are expanding the cultivation of grapes and planting trees, and they are inspired to catch up with the economy of Ruoqiang.

Chen Lian could only say nothing about this.

He thinks too highly of the IQ of people in these countries.

Perhaps it was the huge benefits brought by the Silk Road that had made them lose the idea of fighting, and even they still felt that it was too stupid for Ruoqiang to recruit foreigners as countrymen.

Chen Lian laughed.

That's fine.

*

Soon, more than five years passed.

In the past five years, Ruoqiang has become a country with a population of one million, and its territory has expanded infinitely.

As for the method of expanding this territory, it is really amazing.

Over the years, Chen Lian used his knowledge to obtain corn seeds, sweet potatoes and other crops from merchants in the Central Plains.

Farm tools were also developed and education was established.

And then use these to exchange territory with neighboring countries.

In general, territory is something that is absolutely impossible for a country to exchange.

However, as soon as Chen Lian came out, these things were too amazing for the people of the Western Regions.

Second, in recent years, Ruoqiang has become the head of the countries in the Western Regions, and his power is extremely great.

Thirdly, almost all of the territories that Chen Lian proposed to exchange were yellow sand, and there were even many places where sand bandits who did evil were entrenched.

So, after weighing it, they exchanged the land.

After confirming that the land belonged to Ruoqiang, Ruoqiang was attacked by Chen Lian's secretly trained army, and the sand bandits were captured without much effort, and then the people began to attack - planting trees in those dusty places!

In a few years, the land abandoned by other countries has also become dense forests, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, which has completely destroyed the intestines of those countries.

Because of Ruoqiang's very open settlement policy, several small countries that depend on Ruoqiang to survive have also been completely incorporated into Ruoqiang in various policies that have been imperceptibly changed over the years.

Ruoqiang took twelve years to develop into a lion in the Western Regions, which frightened and frightened all the countries in the Western Regions, and had to admire!

And all this, all Ruoqiang people know, is because of their Royal Highness!
