She didn't know how this boundless desert came about, there were all kinds of stories circulating in the countries of the Western Regions, among which divine punishment was the most common one, but if you wanted to open up trade routes, the desert with uninhabited and harsh climate was the biggest obstacle.

After thinking about it and discussing it with An Yan, he obtained trade permits from the countries along the way and established institutions similar to post stations in the towns he passed, but unlike Dahan Post Station, which was in the hands of the government, Tang Lin wanted to take this institution into his own hands, and Shiyan City was the first step.

She attaches great importance to it, but also has some worries, especially how these institutions should be maintained and connected if they are built.

On the second day, Xiao Wu took the paperwork signed by the city lord to Tang Lin, he couldn't see any emotion on his face, Tang Lin didn't ask much, just told him to pay attention to safety, some details of the operation they had already finalized, Tang Lin was very relieved of Xiao Wu's ability.

"Alas, Xiao Wu is also pitiful, and he has to face people he doesn't want to face every day." Manna couldn't help but shake her head.

Tang Lin said casually when he heard this: "Do you want you to stay and help him?" ”

Ganlu blushed: "Girl, the young master is asking us to protect the girl, so I don't want to leave the girl!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm reluctant to leave you behind." Tang Lin didn't expect Ganlu to react so much, and couldn't help laughing, but Ganlu felt more and more embarrassed, so he excused himself to pack up his things and leave.

Xiao Wu couldn't accompany Tang Lin to go, and he wanted to wait for the person who replaced him to come over before letting Tang Lin on the road, but Tang Lin felt that he had to go forward anyway, and the caravan's guards were enough, so he left Shiyan City as originally planned.

Because he had already been here once, the journey was quite smooth, and the patriarch was also successfully dealt with here in Ganquan Town, of course, some benefits were promised, and Tang Lin left someone here to take care of it, but he regretted that he didn't bring more people.

The weather was not very good in the next few days, but the wind and sand were not too big, but it did not affect the hurry, but the progress was a little slow.

While resting, Tang Lin took out a map and looked at it carefully, this map was brought to her by a certain communication An Yan, it was more complete than all the maps of the Western Regions she had seen before, Tang Lin would occasionally take it out and look at it, thinking in his heart how to build that trade route was the most suitable.

Looking at it, Tang Lin was a little distracted, since he left Dahan, he hadn't received a letter from An Yan, she had written a letter to An Yan before leaving, telling him that he was going west, and he didn't know if he had received it.

What Tang Lin didn't know was that the messenger was almost killed on the road, and it took more than half a month late for the letter to be delivered to An Yan, and when An Yan's letter was sent, she missed it, so she didn't receive An Yan's letter so far.

And Su Mingguo now looks very calm on the surface, and even the king's daughter has married into the An family, it seems that the An family has become the king's most favored family, but with An Yan's unrestrained display of strength, even if he is given an official position, the king also knows that Su Ming's economy is gradually being controlled by the An family.

This is a very terrifying thing, but King Su Ming is also very conflicted, he is not only inseparable from the An family, but also afraid that the An family will be dominant, so he secretly puts pressure on An Xu to take care of the family affairs, and sets aside An Yan's power.

I don't know if the An family really has no intention of rebelling or is afraid of the royal power, in short, everything is as King Su Ming wants, and the affairs of the An family are really gradually in charge of An Xu, and An Yan doesn't seem to care, just asked for a few brocade workshops and shops.

An Xu was still a little uneasy at first, afraid that An Yan would have a bad heart for him, but after a few contacts, he found that An Yan had no second thoughts about him as before, and even took the initiative to mention it, letting him know that An Yan really didn't cherish the power of the An family, and also, An Yan would have to do big things in the future, how could An Yan trap him?
