Chapter 396: Opening the Southwest Road

After the dish came, everyone saw that it was indeed green and tender. When one chopstick was in the mouth, the fragrance and lubrication of different cabbages would be savored carefully, and aftertaste it, it would be endless.

Zhang Qian picked up another piece and chewed it.

I was stunned. It was really a good jade jadeite, and it was famous...

He laughed loudly and said, "What kind of jasper jade? Isn't this alfalfa from the Western Regions?"

The shop owner didn't expect that there was another person who knew the knowledge and said in surprise: "Hey, the official has such a good eye. This dish is made of fresh alfalfa. I don't know where the official came from. How could I recognize the alfalfa brought back by the Marquis of the Great Han Bowang from the Western Regions? You know, this alfalfa has only been sent to my great Han for half a year."

If I answered, I would be Bo Wanghou, you should not think that I was happy to find you, and then change my face and slammed me out...

Zhang Qian didn't answer, but silently took out his wallet from his waist, took out a string of money and said, "The person is from all over the world, and the guests are passers-by. Just make such a good dish, and I will pay you two thousand more. You don't have to ask more about the others, and I won't answer even if I ask."

The store didn't talk much, and knew that he had met an extraordinary person. I thought it was a big deal, so I just served the best wine carefully.

After drinking and eating, the three of them went downstairs, and as they spoke, they arrived at a corner of the western suburbs.

Everyone looked from afar, but they saw the alfalfa spread out under the blue sky, lush and dazzling. The blooming alfalfa flowers were clustered layer by layer, forming purple clouds.

On the black soil, I saw several people dressed in farmers who were harvesting alfalfa attentively, and their busy figures were constantly working hard.

The three of them stepped forward to ask, and the old man saw that they were very polite, so he stopped his work and said, "Since the emperor's Hongfu has been promoting the "limiting the people's famous fields", his family has lived a lot more abundant life. A total of ten acres of alfalfa, two acres of walnuts and three acres of grapes were planted in his family.

Alfalfa is eaten with tenderness and sold to shops in Lingyi, and other things are not useful. They are bought by the governments who built Maoling to feed horses. With other food, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the year."

"oh!"

Sima Xiangru pondered happily, and the three of them looked at each other and shared the joy of the success of the new system.

After leaving the alfalfa field, they walked around again. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a walnut orchard. The small walnut tree stretched out its green face from the short and dense gaps of leaves, which was particularly cute.

Sima Qian thought the name of this fruit wood was very interesting, so he asked Zhang Qian how he named it.

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "The people of the Western Regions used to have some communication, but the name given to this fruit tree is very confusing. The emperor once tasted it.

After seeing the walnut seeds, I thought that since this is a fruit tree from Hudi, I might as well call it a walnut more concise, so... I got this name."

Sima Qian felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge and hurriedly took out silk from his arms and recorded it.

All small things must be recorded, diligent and studious, and asked and thought deeply. Sima Qian's seriousness was seen by the two of them...

Zhang Qian and Sima Xiangru felt that this young man was so sincere and studious, and meticulous, he would not be like everyone else in the future and would definitely have a great future.

Since he likes to remember,

There must be a lot of inventory!

The two then asked him to tell them about his experience of traveling to famous mountains and rivers over the years.

Sima Qian felt a little embarrassed: "I'm so stupid, I'm afraid I can't say that it's great."

Having said that, he spoke fluently and still enthusiastically introduced to the two adults what he saw and heard along the river along the river.

Finally, he said: "A month ago, I went up the river and saw both Han and Yi people all the way. When it came to the Central Army Generals who declared the sage virtues and calmed the chaos in the people, everyone admired them three points.

At that time, I wanted to get off the boat at Jianwei Wharf to visit the adults, but I never expected that the adults had already returned to Beijing to reply to the imperial edict."

Sima Xiangru smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence... Alas, it's really a coincidence."

"Hahaha! In this way, I have to thank me for the two of you who will meet today, but my nephew mentioned Shu Bu and Qiong bamboo stick, which reminded me of something.

On the way back, when I passed by Daxia, I saw Shubu and Qiong bamboo sticks, both of which were very exquisite. The merchants there said that these were all from drug trafficking.

The body poisonous land is about thousands of miles southeast of Daxia. By this, the body poisonous land should be closer to our Han Dynasty than the Daxia. If the southwest road is opened, the trade between our Han Dynasty and our Zhendu will be unhindered.

In this way, the trade route was connected, and on the one hand, it responded to the business outside of Panyu, Nanyue, and on the other hand, it accumulated a wealth path for the country. Why not do it?"

Zhang Qian's words brought the hearts of the three of them to the unknown world in the distance, and they were all excited about the upcoming adventure, especially Sima Xiangru. He had not heard such insightful words for a long time since the third year of Yuanguang to the present day.

"Oh! It's a long sentence."

Sima Xiangru and Sima changed their positions. After thinking about it, the three of them walked towards a vineyard not far away. "When they returned from Bashu, they had made advice to the emperor to open the southwest.

However, soon Prime Minister Gongsun went to the southwest, and after returning, he strongly opposed it. He advised the emperor several times that the opening of the southwest was a strategy to exhaust China, and this matter was left behind since then."

"Hey! The Prime Minister doesn't know that the people in the southwest are eagerly looking forward to the great Han civilization?"

Zhang Qian asked.

"He didn't know where he was, but like others, he always regarded the southwest as a wilderness and the people there as aliens."

"How can the emperor listen to his words? Isn't this a thing that benefits the country and the people?"

"This is how powerful he is. For example, Ji An often questioned the prime minister in court, saying that he was right and wrong, but he was not only not annoyed, but also pretended to be dull. Haha, the emperor thought he was really a huge amount!"

"After the establishment of the inheritance ceremony, the Prime Minister was depressed and was no longer diligent. Now Li Cai is acting as Prime Minister. Is this person..."

Sima Xiangru stopped talking, and he was also very despised by Li Cai's behavior and was ashamed to mention it.

The sunlight shines through the grape racks and drops large and small spots on the ground in the garden. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, singing "rustling".

Stepping on the soft land, the force on the soles of the feet was dissolved silently by the soil.

Just as he was about to walk out of the vineyard, Zhang Qian spoke: "After returning to Kyoto, he will report to the emperor, reiterating the opening of the southwest and opening up the way to the body poisoning."

Zhang Qian's words surprised Sima Xiangru. Compared with the advice to open the Southwest, Zhang Qian not only had a broad vision, but also had great significance for the spread of the Han Dynasty's prestige.
