Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh: Aim in the Quartet(2/2)
"Travel..." Wu Xi suddenly laughed: "Maybe it's a careful work."
"Haha..." Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "It's probably the case. This conquest of Gaochang has shocked the Western Regions and Persian countries, and even Tubo has begun to become uneasy. However... these aristocratic races are afraid they will be restless. People are like this. After trying a little sweetness, they always want to continue trying, and they will never be satisfied."
Wu Xi said, "So what is the disadvantage of doing this to your mentor?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "It's not entirely unfavorable, but at the moment, the most urgent thing is to build the railway first. Otherwise, the beginning and end cannot be taken care of each other and rashly provoke others. This may not be a good thing. OK, let's not talk about this, let's wait for news from the court."
In fact, Chen Zhengtai’s concerns make sense.
In fact... the aristocratic races did have a strong interest in land within the pass. These aristocratic races rely on their own advantages to continuously annex the land, but after they got out of the pass, they found that they had entered another brand new world.
Especially the development of industry and commerce made them realize that it is not only the land that grows grain to be valuable, but the land in this world is becoming more and more valuable.
Coal and various metal ores can be mined and excavated from high mountains and ridges.
Cotton can be planted in the barren land of Gaochang.
You can raise cattle and horses on the grassland.
The development of industry and commerce requires a large amount of raw materials, and the large demand for raw materials has made these aristocratic races have new desires for any land.
In the past, people only cared about arable land, but when they discovered that many of the land in this world were more valuable than arable land, their appetite became bigger and bigger.
What's more, the emergence of railways has made the distance no longer far, and the transportation of goods is no longer a time-consuming and labor-consuming matter.
Chen Zhengtai became more and more aware that many aristocratic races had begun to breed ambitions.
In Xining City, a group of aristocratic children spontaneously formed some gangs, and they began to sacrifice Zhang Qian and Ban Chao. Various theories that praised Ban Chao and Zhang Qian had begun to take shape.
Some of the children who carried a sword and dared to take their servants to Gaochang, and even went to the Western Regions countries, seemed to have begun to wander around in various ways.
Through merchants, through their eyes and ears, they inquire about all the rumors that occurred from the Western Regions and beyond.
These seem to be just some spontaneous behaviors of the people, but in fact...behind this is supported by greed, and on this basis, various cultural and trend changes have been derived.
