When Huo Gang checked these things, a special team had also rushed to the city of Bad, which was on the border between the Han and Persia, and at this moment, the city of Bad had begun to gradually show signs of prosperity, because the Han had already formulated a plan for the construction of the railway, although because of the transportation of rails and other problems, the rails could only be transported here from Yumen Pass and other places.

However, in the early stage of Bad City, some local Persians had begun to gather some local Persians to directly level the roads and survey the roads, and the roads were not far from the official roads of this period, and gradually began to extend in the direction of Yaochi City.

Therefore, for all the caravans that continued to trade with Persia, they naturally chose the first city to enter Persia in the direction of Bad City, although Persia has a very large land area on the east side of the Persian Gulf, that is, where Iran is located in the future, but in fact, this land is almost composed of lakes because of scarce precipitation and lack of rivers.

Therefore, the population here is not large, and a large number of people in the whole of Persia are concentrated in the two river basins of the Euphrates and Tigris, and these two river basins are concentrated in the most prosperous places in Persia, and most of the caravans will eventually have to transport their goods here before selling.

However, almost all of these caravans have been replaced by the merchant houses of the Han Dynasty, or the caravans of Persia, and the caravans of the Tang Dynasty are almost gone, because their caravans are too late to be responsible for the trade between the Han and the Tang Dynasty, so how can they have time to travel so far.

What's more, the current Han is different from the more than 30 countries in the Western Regions back then, and the land of the Han is not allowed to travel casually, and trade within the territory of the Han also requires paying taxes to the Han, so it is better to trade directly between the Han and the Tang Dynasty faster.

This situation has led to the fact that although Bade City is currently a small city, it has gradually begun to become prosperous, and many businessmen have begun to buy and speculate in the city.

The territory of the Han Dynasty is still state-owned, but part of the land can still be bought and sold, and the land bought and sold can be handed over to private individuals to operate, but the price will not be too low, and the person currently in charge of Bad City is Gongsun Bai.

Gongsun Lin is not here, Gongsun Bai is currently the deputy commander of the White Tiger Army, he is responsible for the defense of the entire vicinity of Bad City, and is also responsible for other local security and other tasks, but there are also many officials here to help assist him in his work.

And there are quite a lot of people among these officials, but they are all from the training of the Han Dynasty in the past few years, and some of them have been some unambitious people from the Tang Dynasty, as long as they get the relevant exams, they can have the opportunity to be in charge of the tasks of a place.

"General Gongsun, the mission to Persia has arrived, led by Minister Guo Ming, and there are vice ministers of the Ministry of Commerce, vice ministers of the Ministry of Industry, etc." When Gongsun Bai was working, an official outside rushed in and spoke.

"Oh? Let's go and meet you. Gongsun Bai immediately stood up.

Soon they went out directly and rode out of Bad City, and joined the embassy outside the city, "I have seen Minister Guo." Gongsun Bai first gave Guo Ming a military salute, and then stretched out his hand to shake Guo Ming's hand.

"General Gongsun is polite, General Gongsun is stationed on the western frontier of the motherland, the conditions here do not have to be in our interior, General Gongsun has worked hard." Guo Ming said with a smile.

"It's not hard, being a soldier is to serve the country, if you eat and drink well every day, then you don't know what to do, but Minister Guo actually misunderstood, the conditions here are not too bad." Gongsun Bai said with a smile.

"On the west side of our place is the Caspian Sea, which has a lot of marine fish, and we have established a port in the Caspian Sea, and there are fishermen here who have started to replenish us with fish every day, and there are also supplies from all kinds of domestic transportation, so we are not short of food, but we have a little less vegetables."

Guo Ming also smiled, then looked at the caravans and people coming and going around and said: "That's good, just don't lack supplies, but I look at your place, it is estimated that it will not be calm for long, and now it is becoming more and more prosperous, and you will be under a lot of pressure in the future." ”

"It's true that the main food is the problem, and at present, we can only rely on colleagues in the Ministry of Transport to transport it, but it would be good to wait for the train to be repaired, and when the train is repaired, there will be no shortage of supplies here." Gongsun Bai nodded, businessmen are all profit-seeking, and they are far faster than the official speed.

The Caspian Sea is not far from here, and the official plan is for the next few years, but many discerning businessmen have already started the layout in advance, and many houses in these cities are already under construction.

And this kind of construction was not done by Gongsun Bai, but by these merchants after buying the land.

Even after seeing these scenes, many people outside the city also attached themselves to it, and began to build houses on a random piece of land outside the city. In fact, these jobs are also the main work of Gongsun Bai at present, these people are almost all Persians migrated here, although they can almost speak Chinese proficiently, but they still do not understand the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, they need to guide each other to build houses within the planned range, and stipulate how big houses each of them can build, and after they build, these houses will directly start to be registered, which is considered as a house in their name.

But they can't do it again.

These things often have to be explained many times, because in the eyes of these Persians, in the past, they could build the land outside the city like this, and they could build it as they wanted, and no one cared for it, but now someone needs to take care of it.

But one good thing is that they didn't dare to resist, to be precise, the strong soldiers of the Han Dynasty, plus they were all people who couldn't survive in Persia, so they were more well-behaved, and the Han also gave them all kinds of food before, so that they could survive and make them grateful.

So after explaining it clearly, they also understand the benefits of doing this, because after the registration is made, the houses have value, and they can sell the houses and the land they belong to to other people.

Of course, there is one point, after the sale, they will not have a house in this city, if they want to get land to build a house, then they need to pay money to buy it from the Ministry of Land and Resources of Dahan, otherwise, it is illegal.

Or they can go directly to the countryside and small towns under the jurisdiction of the city to build a house to live or live, and go to those places where there are no such requirements, and even allocate them relevant land for planting.

However, the land around here is very barren and does not grow many crops, and almost all of it is mainly grazing.

In later generations, there was little agriculture in this place, and the closest place to grow was the Persian place, and there was a part of the plain on the south bank of the Caspian Sea, where grain and crops could be grown, but the area occupied by the Han Dynasty was almost entirely dominated by herdsmen.

The Persians who ran from Persia are Persians whose living conditions are very poor and can't survive, how can there be a large number of sheep, so these Persians mainly live around the city, but fortunately, there are all kinds of jobs around the city for them to do, and the work of the Han is different from that of Persia.

These jobs allow them to feed and feed a family, so these people cherish it.

But this is a very difficult test for the grain reserves here.

Other major cities in Dahan, even these newly built cities such as Yaochi City, the country's strategic grain reserves are at least enough for the entire urban population to eat for half a year, not counting the ordinary grain trade reserves of the city's private trade.

The strategic grain reserves will not be used, and they will only be sold when they are replaced with new ones. Obviously, there is a lot of commercial food in the market in these places.

However, in Bad City, the strategic reserve grain only has one month's grain, and this strategic reserve grain still needs to be constantly taken out to stabilize the grain price in the market, because the brothers of the Ministry of Transportation who transport grain here are also very tight, and sometimes the weather on the road is bad, and the delivery is a little slow, so as to avoid the sharp rise in grain prices, it is necessary to take out the strategic reserve grain.

However, the situation of a month's strategic grain reserve is very tense, especially when the population of Bad City is increasing, the food pressure will inevitably increase. If you can't keep up with the follow-up, you may collapse.

Obviously, it is impossible for Dahan to let the price of grain rise here at will, but until the construction of the railway is completed, such a problem will always exist.

"This is indeed a problem, and this time we are going to solve it for you, and we can exchange some of the grain from Persia." Guo Ming said with a smile. For these countries of Persia, they are not short of food at all, to be precise...... The whole country may be short of food, and for the ruling class, they say that if it is not lacking, it is not lacking.

A lot of ordinary civilians don't care.

"Well, this is the best way, after all, the Persian grain-producing area is not far from here, and some merchants are also transporting grain here to sell, but after all, if you can't get the official permission of Persia, the amount of this grain is not large."

"But I think it's better to be able to increase the amount of food that we send from home, and we don't have a shortage of food." Gongsun Bai said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I came here this time to bring the order of the leader, Bad City will be the next key construction direction, so the next material aspects here will be inclined to here, and there will be about 300,000 people migrating here in the future."

"With such a large population, food must keep up, you can rest assured." Guo Ming smiled and reassured Gongsun Bai.
