This has always been a long-standing problem in China.
The puzzle is complex and involves countless factors.
For example, the latitude in the north is higher.
Since the latitude is high, the climate is naturally cold.
But in fact, the climate in northwest or central Asia is very special.
Europe also has a high latitude, but because it is close to the sea, and the sea's temperature regulation ability is naturally very strong, it can also have good weather.
But the northwest or Central Asia is different. This place is very ghostly.
Because it is so far inland, there are often huge temperature differences between day and night.
Giving you El Niño on the hour every three days is simply commonplace.
In addition, there is a little ice age from time to time. You can still survive by fishing on the sea, but there is really no way to survive in this place. Robbery is a heinous crime everywhere, but in a place like this, it can really be called a kind of
Serious work...
Another reason is that to the west of Central Asia is Europe.
No matter how much Europe pulls its hips, it is still a farming nation. In other words, it has the ability to engage in non-agricultural projects without production, and its level of civilization is not comparable to that of nomads.
As for the east, the east is East Asia.
Let’s not talk about the days when the Qin and Han empires were in their prime, let’s just say that when the Han Dynasty was on the verge of death, during the Three Kingdoms period, Boss Cao’s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were able to easily defeat the nomadic barbarians in the northwest while competing with several major forces for supremacy.
As you can imagine...
Naturally, this place cannot afford the basic construction of civilization.
At the same time, because both the east and west sides are too strong, this area of no concern has often become a frequent site for troops to be defeated.
When the Europeans were doing well, Rome came out and wanted to solve the "Eastern Question" - Europe's "Eastern Question" was actually the Slavic and Central Asian Tatar problem.
Not to mention East Asia. If you are good at it, you will go to Central Asia to beat people. If you are not good at it, you will go to Central Asia to escape. Basically, you will be beaten...
Therefore, this place has been a golden triangle where dragons, snakes, fish and insects gathered from all walks of life for thousands of years.
Since the heart of the world island, how can it be peaceful?
but……
Anyway.
There is nothing we can do if China does not have the conditions. The unified dynasty that has the conditions will certainly try its best to solve the problem.
So this time...
Li Sheng was planning to solve this problem once and for all for China.
During the chat with Ma Zhou and several other academy scholars, Li Sheng's ideas became very clear.
That is……
If this place is not handled well, it will be the source of disaster and there will be endless troubles on the border.
People from all walks of life are only distinguished by their banners, such as Qiang Jie, Xiongnu, Mongolia...
But there is absolutely no difference in behavior. Anyway, it is in the "most fertile temperate zone of the World Island". In any other world with this coordinate, it is the exclusive main city of the protagonist, and all the core plots of the story take place here.
So you can imagine what the nomadic barbarians like to do, of course it is to replace them.
Border troubles may occur by chance, but border troubles never happen by chance.
but……
Li Sheng also made it very clear.
If it is not handled well, it is the source of disaster; if it is handled well, it is another story.
This place can be regarded as the Wei State to the east of Qin State, directly serving as the medium and springboard for China's influence, clamping down on the entire World Island.
Its geographical value to the continental empire is no less valuable than the value of Li Jiabao, the Suez Canal, and the Panama Canal to the maritime empire.
Just how valuable this kind of place is, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at Zhang Yi and other famous Qin ministers' positioning of Wei, and it will be clear at a glance.
Li Sheng’s trip...
It was to seek this benefit for the young empire that was born after the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Knowing the value of this, Ma Zhou, King Luo Bin, Gao Ziyang, Xie Zhongyuan and others were still a little resentful. The battle on horseback was so hard and they were not allowed to go back to receive the reward...
But when Li Sheng said this, everyone fell silent.
King Luo Bin, who was marching with Li Sheng at this moment, had only one feeling in his heart.
The world turns out to be so vast.
And my small efforts this time will make the world of Datang even broader!
but……
"Holy Commander, it's been three days since we left, and we haven't seen any trace of the Turks... Do we still want to leave?"
Even though King Luo Bin was riding on horseback, he was still riding a horse bumpyly for several days, which was definitely not a pleasant experience.
Li Sheng took back the reins.
"Um……"
"Forget it, let's all take a rest."
Hearing Li Sheng's words, King Luo Bin suddenly became energetic. He immediately turned around and shouted, "Brothers, dismount and rest!"
"Can you rest now?!"
"Rest, rest! Brothers, you can rest!"
soon……
The vanguard camp of 3,000 people stopped on the spot and began to repair.
After Li Sheng's instruction, the soldiers quickly found piles of wood and hay and built bonfires one by one to light.
Then...
After a while, the aroma of barbecue began to spread everywhere.
King Luo Bin was chewing on the barbecue, but his brows could not help but frown.
After taking a few bites, he couldn't help but look at Li Sheng and said, "Shengshuai, we eat meat every day, won't it be gone over time? I think it's better to eat sparingly..."
"hehe."
Li Sheng glanced at the barbecue in his hand with some disgust, and looked at King Luo Bin sideways, "Are you worried about this? I think you should worry about something else. We are now at the foot of the Pamir Plateau, and if we don't find a way to eat vegetables and fruits, we will
When vitamins are out of stock, everyone is waiting to get that serious disease."
"Ah?! Is this... so serious? Aren't vegetables all seasoned food supplements..."
King Luo Bin looked at Li Sheng in shock.
He came from an ordinary background, and eating vegetables as a side dish was the norm most of the time. He had never thought that this thing was so important.
Li Sheng shrugged, "This is about the six essential nutrients for the human body... Besides, we always eat game, so this is not a problem."
"I read……"
Li Sheng looked around and said, "I think we can build the city here."
After that, Li Sheng raised his head and looked far to the northwest...
flutter.
When King Luo Bin heard this, the meat he had just stuffed into his mouth spurted out in an instant.
This time he was really shocked, "Shenghou, aren't you kidding???"
"This place is a bitter and cold place. We want to build a city here? How...how can this work? After the city is built, everyone will be Han Chinese. It will be difficult to make a living here!"
"You are right, so it is not just about building a city, there is another important thing."
"oh?"
"The key point is that we cannot build a city for the sake of building a city. When we build a city here, we must have the income from building a city to support China to maintain a strong enough standing army here."
