The group successfully entered Loulan City, where the cities were all made of earth, looking gray, without the feeling of being a majestic national capital.

Don't say that compared with great cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, even in the county governance of various counties, this city is nothing.

However, after trekking for so long, there is not even a ghost to be seen, and now that so many people suddenly appeared, it still makes everyone in the team a little excited.

Luo Zhong is okay, after all, he is the son of Luo, and he is suppressed all the time, but everyone else is a normal person, and he has accumulated countless irritability for a long time in this life.

However, whether it was Luo Mo or a brave warrior, the discipline was the best in the world, and everyone stayed in the inn dedicated to travelers and merchants according to Luo Zhongkan's arrangement, and then began to try to contact all aspects of Loulan Kingdom.

Luo Zhongkan came to the Western Regions, not to play, but to collect the customs here, draw a map of the Western Regions, record the specialties here, and see what the Central Plains can get from here.

These are very important political tasks, and one of the most important ones is that he wants to find a stronghold suitable for Luo's survival in the vast Western Regions, and Luo Ling made it clear to him in the letter that he wants to establish a stronghold similar to Luocun in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions will definitely be included in the rule of the Central Dynasty in the future, and each generation in the future will send a Luo's son to the Western Regions to sit in the Western Regions to assist the Central Dynasty administration at that time.

The first thing to do when entering the Western Regions was to learn the local language, so that he could get rid of most of the troubles, and among the three hundred people, Luo Zhongkan deliberately selected some people who were good at words.

These people are gifted with languages, and within a short time of entering the Western Regions, they have learned a dialect full of dialects.

Of course, there is no common language like the Central Plains Yayu in the Western Regions, but many of the languages here are very close, that is, the intonation is very strange, but basically understandable.

After entering Loulan City, Luo Zhongkan relied on his ability to be proficient in the language, and began to talk to the locals, speaking pure Loulan dialect, no one thought that this would be a person from the Central Plains, Luo Zhongkan said that he went to a distant place to do business, and he didn't come back for a long time, and then under the offensive of money, he set out a lot of news.

The country of Loulan was much larger than he had imagined, both in terms of population and the size of the oasis, and then Luo Zhongkan got the news that the king of Loulan was cutting down trees on the oasis in order to grow more food, or get more livestock.

This made Luo Zhongkan a little angry.

Although he has only been here for a short time, Luo Zhongkan has already deeply felt that this is really a very beautiful land, and there is no difference between the oasis and the Central Plains.

As a result, now the king of Loulan wants to cut down the tree!

The oasis is surrounded by desert, and if you cut down the trees on the oasis, won't this oasis be destroyed?

In the Central Plains, it is true that thousands of years of slash-and-burn cultivation have been experienced, and large areas of forests have been cut down, but the situation is completely different, and King Su has clearly formulated a lot of rules even when cutting down forests.

For example, a large number of trees in the mountains are not allowed to be cut down, for example, trees near water sources are not allowed to be cut down.

"The roots of the forest are used to strengthen the water and soil underground, and the water and soil are the foundation for the growth and nourishment of all things, and the protection of a certain amount of forest can make the land continue to be cultivated for a long time, especially in the land of abundance, and it is necessary to ensure that there are enough forests on the plateau from generation to generation."

Because of this rule, the Zhou royal family did not cut down trees from the surrounding areas to repair the palace, but obtained them from more distant places.

This is still the case in the Central Plains, not to mention that the natural conditions are far inferior to those in the Western Regions of the Central Plains?

Luo Zhongkan could already imagine that if the king of Loulan continued to cut down like this, this oasis would sooner or later become a bare desert, and if the last river dried up and the amount of water decreased, it would be buried by yellow sand in less than twenty years.

"The king of Loulan dares to destroy the land of Zhuxia!"

Luo Zhongkan's eyes showed a fierce light, and he immediately wanted to rush into the palace of King Loulan and cut off King Loulan's dog's head.

……

More than ten miles outside Loulan City, Luo Zhongkan beckoned the brave soldiers to leave quickly, and behind him were scattered corpses.

Don't get me wrong, of course Luo Zhongkan wouldn't really kill King Loulan just because he cut down a tree.

After all, only 300 people were brought over this time, and it was still necessary to maintain a polite and polite posture of the state of etiquette, if it was 3,000 people, then Luo Zhongkan would probably really do it directly, and he couldn't be polite to a black sheep like King Loulan.

Although Luo Zhongkan didn't make a move, a conflict broke out within the Loulan Kingdom's own royal family, and the prince launched a rebellion against the Loulan King.

It is said that the prince's wife was a beautiful woman, and then the king of Loulan took a fancy to him, so the prince of Loulan held a grudge and staged a farce of father's kindness and filial piety.

It is quite similar to the prince of the past who told about the killing of Zhou Tianzi.

Luo Zhongkan had to sigh, there is really nothing new under the sun, no matter where you can see this kind of strange thing.

This kind of God-given opportunity, of course Luo Zhongkan has to do something, such as the national information of Loulan Kingdom, such as the number of households, the distribution of troops, the output, etc., as well as the books of Loulan Kingdom.

Although this place is relatively backward, these things are still very important, and Luo Zhongkan will accept these materials openly with people.

In this process, it is normal to easily sweep away the treasures of Loulan Kingdom.

Of course, after borrowing something, it is understandable that there will be a fire accidentally, but such a normal thing, the people of Loulan hold on, as if Luo Zhongkan and they did something wrong.

But there is no way, the host is not welcome, as a polite and civilized person, Luo Zhongkan can only leave, in the face of the overly radical master's house, it is also forced to kill a few people to deter it.

This hand is really very effective, the new King of Loulan looked at Luo Zhongkan and the others who were leaving in horror, he didn't know where these people came from, the news of the Han Dynasty was still circulating in the Hexi Corridor, and it had not yet reached the south of the Tianshan Mountains.

"Let's go, go to the next country, Loulan is so small, there are really a lot of treasures, these things have never been seen in the Central Plains."

Luo Zhongkan was playing with some exquisite jade in his hand, and someone came over and said, "Son, the head of the family said that the Western Regions is a treasure land, and there is really no lie."

There are too many things that cannot be seen in the Central Plains, and there are also many common ones in the Central Plains.

If you can bring the unique things of the Western Regions back to the Central Plains to sell, the family will become extremely wealthy, if you can guarantee your status in the Western Regions, control the trade routes between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and eat at both ends, it is not a lie to be rich and rival the country. ”

Luo Zhongkan's body on a camel was stagnant, although he didn't know much about business, but he still knew how to buy and sell, and rare things such as jade in the Western Regions would definitely be sought after by the nobles when they arrived in the Central Plains.

The camel bell sounded melodiously, as if it was really a horse team of merchants, Luo Zhongkan said softly: "If you want to communicate with the Western Regions, just relying on the strength of the family, you will only gain more than you lose, and you need the help of the imperial court, but the family can indeed grab benefits from here, and this is what the eldest brother means." ”

Making money has always been extremely important to Luoche, after all, there are so many places to spend money on Luoche.

It has always been said that in order to maintain cultural hegemony, Rock's needs to invest countless sums of money consistently.

In terms of force, the dare warrior is faith on the one hand, and money on the other.

Whether it is training, or the maintenance of combat effectiveness, or even various benefits, a lot of money is required.

The reason why the Luoguo office can afford it is because the money that those nobles use to enjoy and be poor and luxurious is spent on the people, and in the fashionable words of later generations, the redistribution of wealth is done well.

But no matter how well the wealth is distributed, it can't be done without a source, there was a country as a tax before, and now there is only one Zhaocheng left.

It is simply impossible for such a city to train warriors of the level of 3,000 dare warriors, so Luo's has been doing business to subsidize the huge consumption.

After walking for a while, Luo Zhongkan muttered: "You should send someone back to deliver a letter to the eldest brother, give a preliminary account of the situation here, and see if the eldest brother thinks it is necessary to send someone again."

We are in the Western Regions and we don't know the situation in the Central Plains, which may not be conducive to the eldest brother's decision. ”

Although Luo Zhongkan thought that with the current fatigue of the Central Plains, it was impossible to send people to the Western Regions, after all, the dispatch of a large army was completely different from such a small team as theirs, but what if the eldest brother thought that more people should be sent?

So a team of five people returned with a local guide carrying Luo Zhongkan's letter, Luo Zhongkan did not ask them to be fast, the most important thing is safety, even if it is no problem for three or five years, as long as the person is fine.

It took two full years for the first letter to reach Luo Ling, and Luo Ling was indeed very interested in Luo Zhongkan's description in the letter, whether it was the fertility of the land, or the rare products, and the weak country, Luo Ling regarded this as his own.

In particular, Luo Zhongkan emphasized that the king of Loulan was gradually destroying the environment of Loulan Kingdom, these people did not know how to make the land fertile, and their farming skills were not high, so they should plan as soon as possible.

Luo Ling touched the God of the Four Seasons in his arms, and thought in his heart, if only this artifact did not need to consume the family heritage, it was really suitable to use it in the Western Regions of Yongzhen.

In the letter, Luo Zhongkan also said that the Western Regions are too vast, and I am afraid that these brothers who will come out with him will stay in the Western Regions within more than ten years, so I hope that Luo Ling can agree to the brave soldiers to take concubines in the Western Regions.

From the moment the daring warrior appeared in the world, he has always been a clan soldier, he used to be a clan, and now he is a clan, so of course their weddings and funerals need to be worried about by the head of the family.

However, generally speaking, as long as it does not violate morality, the family is allowed to fall in love freely, and the person can be reported to the head of the family, and the head of the family will give a property, but the concubine, especially the barbarian as a concubine, requires the consent of the head of the family, after all, the concubine is also a family and is still a member of the family, which has to be cautious.
