() "My lord, I'm glad you have fulfilled your mission." Zhang Yi followed the escort into the administrative hall. When he saw Qin Xiaobai, he immediately bowed his head and presented a sandalwood box with his hands, his face filled with excitement.
Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed when he saw it. It seemed that Zhang Yi had at least collected one of the silk fragments. As long as he could collect one, he could collect the second one. Every bit of progress was made. Sooner or later, the stone would break through and the silk would be opened.
He quickly helped Zhang Yi up and said, "It's been a long journey, what dangers are there in this trip?"
Zhang Yi saw that Qin Xiaobai didn't take the sandalwood box first, but instead helped him up first. He felt grateful immediately. Seeing Qin Xiaobai asking questions, he quickly replied: "My lord, please Hongfu, everything goes well on this trip."
, there is nothing sinister about it.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded when he heard the words, and said with a soothing smile: "That's good, the Silk Road can be opened anytime, but if one of my athletes is harmed because of the fast Silk Road, it is not worth it.
Already."
Zhang Yi is a bandit, a real bandit with a rebellion value. It is not safe to leave the Wudu Peak of Black Wind Mountain. He is also asked to carry a large amount of money and travel around to buy the silk fragments, which is indeed extremely risky.
"Thank you, lord." Zhang Yi was even more grateful when he heard this. Regardless of whether Qin Xiaobai's words were true or not, being able to say this was enough to show how much Qin Xiaobai valued him. But in Zhang Yi's opinion, the ancestor walked step by step.
The Silk Road that emerged was much more important than him, so he hurriedly advised Qin Xiaobai:
"But my lord, the Silk Road is extremely important. It leads to all the countries in the Western Regions and the farther away Kushan Empire. It is said that its territory is larger than Xiliang Prefecture. I heard that there is a large empire called Rome far away.
The territory is not even weaker than that of the entire Han Dynasty. As far as I know, there are only three empires in the world. This road can connect the trade routes of the three empires. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in ancient and modern times."
"And it goes without saying that its benefits need to be elaborated. If the trade route connecting the two empires is opened by my lord, it will bring about a prosperous age for our great Han Dynasty. My lord's achievements will be comparable to Ban Chao's."
Zhang Yi was originally a local tycoon. He had lived in Xiliang and the border area for a long time, so he was extremely well-informed about foreigners. Moreover, he was a descendant of Zhang Qian. His ambition since childhood was to learn from his ancestors. Naturally, he paid great attention to the old Silk Road, so he knew that there were other places further west.
Kushan Empire and Roman Empire.
"Guishan Empire, Roman Empire?" Qin Xiaobai was slightly startled when he heard Zhang Yi's words. The former of the two words was a bit unfamiliar, but according to Zhang Yi's words, the Guishan Empire was bigger than Xiliang Quanzhou, so it should be bigger than Xiliang Quanzhou.
The territory is huge.
You must know that Xiliang is being counted, and Yongzhou, which was split from Xiliang in later generations, must be included, and then the Western Region Changshi Mansion, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan established by Emperor An of the Han Dynasty must be included.
That territory is quite large, comparable to Yizhou and Jingzhou, but now the Qiang and Xiongnu are frequently in trouble. The Eastern Han Dynasty is gradually decaying, and its control over Liangzhou is getting weaker and weaker. The Western Regions Changshi Mansion has long been abandoned, and Dunhuang
, not to mention Jiuquan, even Zhangye was not completely under control.
What can be called an empire will naturally not be a nomadic people like the Xiongnu who can only plunder. They can be self-sufficient and have a certain economic foundation, so they can be targets for trade.
The latter term is as powerful as thunder. The Roman Empire was one of the largest ancient empires in world history. It should be at the peak of its development now and would not be any weaker than the Eastern Han Dynasty.
These two are giants. Compared with the small countries in the Western Regions, which Qin Xiaobai had always dreamed of doing business with, they are simply not worth mentioning.
Trade with the two empires, just being a transit person, is enough for Qin Xiaobai to be rich in the world. If Qin Xiaobai can be strong enough to digest all the results of trade, it will be that he has the stamina of the two empires to support Qin Xiaobai, supply supplies, food and grass
The soldiers and horses are really endless and have endless stamina.
You must know that after Qin Xiaobai has a certain amount of power, although he can trade with the entire Han Dynasty, everyone in the Han Dynasty, even players, can do this after their power develops to a certain stage.
However, this is the only way to trade with the two empires. Qin Xiaobai opened the Silk Road, so when the two empires faced the merchants from the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qin Xiaobai was the only one who would sell them to him...
…
It's like a person who is studying martial arts and suddenly one day discovers that the internal power in his body is endless. What will happen? Not to mention being able to dominate the world, it's almost the same. As long as he improves his moves, it is possible to become invincible in the world.
Once it is possible to trade with the two empires, unless someone can defeat Qin Xiaobai instantly, he will have to fight a protracted war with Qin Xiaobai. Once there is a protracted war, even Cao Cao, who rules most of the world, will
It is impossible to consume Qin Xiaobai to death with the support of two empires. If Big Er comes, he may be exhausted...
Of course, these are all what Qin Xiaobai came up with after hearing the names of the two empires. In reality, the Silk Road has not yet touched upon the two empires.
The Silk Road had three blocks and three connections, and it had always stopped at the countries in the Western Regions without any major extension. However, the Roman Empire and the Kushan Empire had transactions with the countries in the Western Regions, and then they barely had a relationship.
But as long as the Silk Road has not touched Rome and Kushan, it is not considered real trade. Commercial trade will inevitably shrink significantly, and with the countries in the Western Regions serving as transit points, benefits will also be greatly exploited.
How to extend the Silk Road is one problem. Another problem is that Rome and Kushan are both large empires. Unlike the Qiang, clan, and Xiongnu, they are just a clan. Qin Xiaobai doesn't know whether there are players among them. If so, Qin Xiaobai doesn't know.
, it must be another trouble.
There is too little official information on the game of "unify the world". Even Qin Xiaobai's internal research institute was so reluctant that his exposure was only to the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he didn't know much about places outside the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the end, Qin Xiaobai is still not powerful enough. His public identity is only the peak master who occupies a mountain group in a county, and his secret identity is not that big.
Bo.
Fortunately, the player that Qin Xiaobai was originally most afraid of poses no threat to him for the time being. We have not heard of any player entering the small town class, let alone attacking Wudu Peak, which cannot even conquer Xiaochi County.
Of course, given the speed of players' development, their immortality, and their advantages of being as numerous as locusts, they cannot be taken lightly. They must be far ahead of them at all times to avoid being massacred by their sea of people.
The most important thing now is to quickly improve your own power. Otherwise, if you don’t have power, let alone your life, even if there is an opportunity in front of you, it will be useless no matter how much you cherish it. This battle to aid the Baima Qiang people will be a change.
Qin Xiaobai already had a plan in his mind.
After calming down, Qin Xiaobai asked Zhang Yi the key: "Seeing that there is joy in Dingyuan, the harvest this time will definitely be rich. I don't know how much has been completed in piecing together the remaining pictures."
