Mi Tie showed up with the 100,000 slaves he promised Liu Zheng.
Zheng Yueru originally wanted to go to Yintan City directly, but was stopped by Liu Zheng.
"Don't!"
Liu Zheng was startled and asked Zheng Yueru to tell Mire to gather all the slaves at the first stop on the Silk Road, Yinzhou Station!
This is the first post house built by Yinzhou in the Gobi in the past two months.
Although the post house is not large, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The remaining people can still live in tents or something. Then Liu Zheng took Zheng Yueru, Du Biao, and Pei Qianyun, and galloped all the way.
, take a look at the cement road you have paved in this desert...
"Brother Liu, why is this?"
Zheng Yueru didn't understand. Aren't these slaves Liu Zheng had always been thinking about? When he came at this time, he was told by Liu Zheng that he had to stay in Yinzhou Station for half a month before entering Yintan City.
Du Biao didn't understand either.
Liu Zheng replied: "Because of illness!"
Zheng Yueru's expression changed: "Brother Liu, are you talking about the plague?"
Du Biao asked strangely: "Sir, Mire won't harm us like this, right?"
Liu Zheng smiled and explained: "This has nothing to do with whether he is harmful or not. It is that people who migrate long distances will always carry viruses and bacteria from other places..."
"Well, you can understand them as pathogens. Maybe they are fine in Africa and Arabia, but when they come to Longyan, they will cause disease due to changes in the climate and environment. Do you understand?"
Liu Zheng is not a doctor, nor does he understand medicine.
But he felt that it was prudent to do so. The concept of viruses in later generations made him understand that viruses on the earth have actually always coexisted with humans.
It's just that some viruses, after humans develop antibodies, will not cause any harm to humans.
but......
Once the living environment changes drastically, these viruses can easily jump out.
In fact, this is the reason for the so-called "acclimatization" from a scientific perspective. Due to the influence of climate environment and food, some viruses are more likely to mutate and poison humans.
Since ancient times, there have actually been many plagues caused by long-distance migration.
In this regard, Liu Zheng did not dare to take any risks. Therefore, he might as well make a hard trip first.
Along the way, the cement road looked so abrupt in the desert, but it added a lot of vitality to this place that humans had never conquered. According to Liu Zheng's request, the desert must not only pave the road, but also manage it! So the cement road was
Next to it, some plants began to be planted with common sense.
Cement roads in the desert not only facilitate transportation, but more importantly, they can also consolidate sand and moisture, which is of great help to the improvement of the environment.
The cement road is for those camel and horse teams.
As for a single horse, it is more comfortable to gallop on the sand.
"Is it this far already?"
The further Liu Zheng went, the more sense of accomplishment he felt in his heart.
It has only been two or three months, and more than a hundred miles of cement road have been paved! If this continues, within a few years, the entire Silk Road will become the focus of the world.
"It's just ahead!"
Zheng Yueru pointed.
Sure enough, when I ran over a small hill, I saw an earth and stone building not far away, standing in the desert, which made people fascinated to see it.
"Brother Mire!"
"Master Liu!"
"Is Du San in charge?"
When several people met, they were extremely enthusiastic.
When Mire heard that Du Biao had also started to follow Liu Zheng, he was shocked at first, and then became happy. The three of them knew each other and each had their own dealings. It would be much more convenient if they could work together.
"Sir, if there are one hundred thousand slaves, thousands of them will be lost along the way!"
Mire looked apologetic.
Liu Zheng recalled the first time he walked to Lop Nur, and how dangerous it was. It still made him frightened. He smiled and said, "Brother Mire, don't worry about it. Come on in and talk."
Mire looked at the cement road with burning eyes: "This is the Silk Road that is rumored by the outside world? The young master is really talented and resourceful!"
It is conceivable that when this cement road leads to Loulan, according to Long Yan's powerful strength, he can attack the Western Region in a few days, which makes Mi Ze feel a little uneasy.
Liu Zheng seemed to know what Mire was thinking and smiled without saying a word.
After a few people chatted for a while, Liu Zheng saw the 100,000 slaves gathered in Yinzhou Post. All skin colors were tied together with ropes by Mire's Arab army. It seemed that Liu Zheng was still thinking too much...
..I also want to arrange a place for these slaves to live. Looking at this, it is already very difficult for them to survive.
