Chen Zhengtai didn't have much thought of appreciating this Xining New City at this time.

This place has become the center of the entire Western Regions. In the future, there will be countless railways, like blood vessels, densely connected.

Obviously, Xining is no longer short of money at this time, or in other words, a large amount of capital has begun to invest in places such as Tianzhu and Dashi through the Dashi Trading Company. Then, countless gold and silver will eventually gather here.

This continuous wealth, through the steel workshops here, countless minerals, and cotton workshops in Gaochang, eventually turned into countless commodities and was distributed throughout the world.

Chen Zhengtai even felt that he had created a monster.

This monster, even its pores, exudes a breath of desire and greed.

The aristocratic races that once occupied land and population have now become emerging giants and upstarts.

Even Chen Zhengtai was surprised that these people changed so quickly.

Isn't that the case?

When there were slaves, they were slave owners. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were nobles and powerful men. In the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were gentry.

In fact, their essence has not changed, as it has changed today, but it has not changed.

What has changed is nothing more than a means of seizing interests, but what remains unchanged is their high position.

Chen Zhengtai witnessed it with his own eyes that those who used to be full of classics are now full of economics.

Those who used to manage families and manage land and divisions have now become workshops and employed workers.

They are still furious and angry, especially in Xining City, where such luxury is far beyond people's imagination.

The road surface of Xining City is paved with countless gravels and then covered with cement, making the road smooth.

The exquisite and comfortable carriage walks around there without leaving any trace.

The children of the aristocratic families in the past wore the most fashionable clothes.

There are many shops along the streets and alleys to satisfy people's desires.

Even rows of trees were planted on both sides of the road, which were said to be expensive. In places like Xining, although the rain was abundant in this era, it was still expensive to feed these tree species transplanted from the south of the Yangtze River.

All kinds of rumors of spending a lot of money came one after another. A child of the Cui family fought with the son of the Zheng family, and actually burned the money with ten coins of denominations as firewood.

Chen Zhengtai himself could not have imagined that just a few years ago, those who came to this Western Regions had become another appearance in just a few years.

And this...it's all what he brought.

When Li Chengqian heard that the night in Xining City was very lively and claimed to be a city that never sleeps, he was very excited and wanted to go shopping with Chen Zhengtai.

But that night, Chen Zhengtai led Li Chengqian out of the city in a carriage.

On the outskirts of the city, near the station are rows of cotton spinning workshops.

And here, even late at night, it is brightly lit.

The roar of the steam engine that was surrounding it made people feel heart-pounding. The chimneys above the workshop were rolling with black smoke, as if they would never go out!

In each workshop, lights are lit.

However, in cotton spinning workshops, the most likely thing is to cause fire, so all lamps are covered with lampshades on the outside.

But even so, the hidden dangers are still very big.

The one who came with him was a child of the Chen family. While walking, he introduced to Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian: "Two His Highnesses, cotton spinning workshops are most likely to cause fires. Last month, one workshop caught fire, burning more than 30 people. However, now the profit of cotton spinning is huge. If it is only produced in daylight, it will be difficult to make the most profit. Therefore, the workshops still produce in shifts at night, and the steam engine is unwilling to stop."

Li Chengqian snorted coldly in disagreement: "They are brave. If something happens, it depends on how they are."

The Chen family's children said helplessly: "If nothing happens, you can get into a gold fight every day. Who cares if something happens? And even if you have to restrain yourself, you will not be able to restrain yourself..."

The three of them walked forward and found a workshop inside. They saw that there were mostly female workers, shuttled between the shuttle and the raw silk, and the air was mixed with strange smells. Li Chengqian quickly couldn't stand this bad environment, frowned, and hurriedly retreated.

In order to prevent rust, the steam engine and the shuttle need to be oiled, and the other odors are mixed together, as well as the noisy machine sound, the environment can be imagined.

Chen Zhengtai looked unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Is the environment so bad?"

"Not bad, this is good." The escort man said seriously: "Most of the craftsmen and female workers here are still grateful to Your Highness. You know, in the past, when they were in the pass, they were hungry and could not even solve the problem of food and clothing! Later, after leaving the pass, although it was hard, they could still eat and wear and wear, and even have some extra money. They were grateful to Your Highness!"

hehe……

Chen Zhengtai just smiled and didn't say anything more. He just felt that he had no interest at the moment, so he went straight to Li Chengqian and went home.

Chen Zhengtai did not stay in Xining for much time. He had already seen the prosperity here, so he took the steam train to Zhedao Shuofang and then headed south to Chang'an.

When I first arrived in Chang'an, I unexpectedly discovered that there were already many people waiting on this platform.

Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai went to the platform and saw a group of guards of Mingguang armor surrounded dozens of ministers here, the leader was Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and hurriedly greeted Chen Zhengtai and Lee Seung-qian.

Li Chengqian said in surprise: "Why is Fang Qing here too?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "A few days ago, there was a report that the two high men were about to arrive in Chang'an in the past few days. Your Majesty was very happy, so he asked me to welcome me here. The old me was here yesterday, and I waited until today."

The dignified prime minister was waiting here continuously, which showed the generous treatment.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty invites His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Liang to arrive in Chang'an, and immediately enter the palace to meet."

"I understand." Li Chengqian nodded.

Chen Zhengtai returned the gift and bowed with both hands, "I'm working hard for the house."

Fang Xuanling's face was flushed and said with a smile: "It's not worthy. Your Majesty even said that Your Highness Liang is aware of people. One Wang Xuance can manage India and avoid the worries of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it is a blessing for the country."

Li Chengqian was so eager to return home at this time that he was just in a hurry to enter the palace. Before Chen Zhengtai and Fang Xuanling continued to greet him, he took the lead and said, "Let's talk about entering the palace first."

So the group quickly left the station. Here, there were already carriages and horses waiting, then got on the carriage and hurried towards the palace gate!

After entering Tai Chi Palace and looking at the familiar palace, Chen Zhengtai felt a little touched. However, when the carriage and horse arrived at the imperial city gate, they did not stop, but entered the palace directly and went directly to the Wen Tower before stopping.

Immediately, Chen Zhengtai entered the Wenlou and saw that Li Shimin was already sitting here, with several eunuchs on both sides!

At this time, Li Shimin was holding the memorial in his hand. When he heard the movement, he put the memorial down, looked up, and glanced at Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai who were coming in.

Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai hurriedly saluted and shouted long live.

Li Shimin laughed heartily and said, "I'm finally back. This farewell has been several years! At first, when you left, I was in purity, but in less than a year, I missed it a little. Zhengtai, come forward first and tell me what you have gained from this trip?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "This time, he was inspecting various places for the sake of the Dashi Trading Company. His Royal Highness and the ministers have gained a lot. Some places are difficult to appreciate if they don't go there in person! Just say that in Persia, the Dashi Trading Company has established 37 banknotes in Persia, and paper money has been issued, and gradually accepted by the Persians. Not only that, the large amount of land purchased by the Dashi Trading Company is also slowly developing. The railways, ports, and minerals needed in the future are not known to you. Can Your Majesty read the memorial? The assets converted are very amazing, far beyond my imagination."

Chen Zhengtai paused and said, "In addition, land trade routes, the Western Regions and Dashi are crucial. Dashi Trading Company has purchased a large number of thoroughfares in advance and established trade strongholds for merchants along the way to rest. In the future, it can also be used as a railway station. Dashi, Persia and Western Regions can all be circulated through these strongholds. Of course, not only that, but also Rome and other countries adjacent to Dashi can also be circulated through Dashi's strongholds. The prospects are promising."

"There is now the top priority of the Dashi Trading Company. I have ordered Wang Xuance to govern the land of Tianzhu. In the future, a large number of people will be needed. Entering Tianzhu will require a large number of people to become guards, civil servants, and accounting offices... Tianzhu is a rich place with a large population and a fertile land. Since I signed an agreement with the Tianzhu people, I have purchased countless Tianzhu land and assets through paper money, and the benefits are also amazing. I believe that the value of these assets will increase sharply in the near future. Of course, the assets are of great benefit.

The growth of value is not important for the time being. The most urgent task at the moment is to use the purchased land to establish a port so that it can reach Quanzhou, the Tang Dynasty, and the Persian port. In this way, not only can the land trade routes be opened, but also the sea routes can be expected. However, if the routes required from Quanzhou to Tianzhu need to pass through various countries along the way. If there is no temporary harbor to stop in the middle, it will be very unfavorable for merchants. Dashi Trading hopes to have a good talk with the Kunlun countries."

The so-called Kunlun countries are actually Southeast Asia in later generations!
