Wang Buxing wanted to travel more in the Western Region, but this time he couldn't help it.

All the ministers jointly announced that you are not allowed to run around here.

Although the Han army deployed nearly half a million troops in the Western Regions, this number of troops was enough to sweep away all enemies.

But no one wanted to put the emperor into danger. After all, the Western Region was not a mature area, so there was still danger.

Therefore, under the leadership of Chen Ping and Guan Ying, and Zhao Tuo who had no choice but to obey, officials both inside and outside directly said that Wang Buxu was speechless.

In the end, I could only move back and forth between the two cities of Yixun and Kuni, as well as other places in the Western Region.

They asked the officials who came out with them to form several teams, and then asked Zhang Buyi and Zhao Tuo to send some troops to protect them, and let them visit various places in the Western Regions to investigate.

In the words of the minister, you brought us to the Western Regions just to let us experience the local customs. When making policies in the future, shouldn't we be based on local customs?

Now let's take a walk carefully and look around. Emperor, just stay here and wait. Let's not mess around.

Therefore, Wang Bu Xing is very boring.

We can only learn some knowledge about the Western Regions through Zhao Tuo and others.

For example, the reason why the northern and southern parts of the Western Region are clearly separated is actually because the environment and climate in the north and the south are completely different.

It is precisely because of this different climate that the cultural differences between the north and the south are caused.

During this time, Wang Buxian also learned about a new situation.

That is, the Western Regions that I see now are two completely different places from the Western Regions of later generations.

The specific difference is that the environment here is very different.

There is no desert in Loulan now. Except for the two cities, the rest of the land is basically cultivated land. Although it is very desolate, there is no scientific management method.

In addition, there are deserts such as the Gobi Desert, but if you ride a horse, you can usually cross it in less than ten days.

The biggest risk lies in Bailongdui, but Bailongdui is not a desert.

It is a special landform structure, mainly composed of gravel, gypsum mud and salt-alkali. It looks silvery from a distance, so it is called Bailongdui.

But apart from here, other places are relatively fertile.

The entire Western Region is bounded by Bailongdui, with Dahan in the east and the Western Regions in the west. Bailongdui is also used as the north-south boundary. The pastoral areas of Xingguo are in the north, and the farming cities are in the south.

Wang Buxing couldn't help but think of the inscription that was unearthed in Xuanquanzhi by later generations, which was called the Fifty Monthly Orders of the Four Seasons and the Environmental Protection Regulations of the Western Han Dynasty.

Wang Buxu also wanted to formulate a similar ordinance.

But it is a pity that there is no writing in the Western Regions, let alone historical records.

So now that Wang Buhun has come up with this regulation without any explanation, there is no way to explain it.

But it doesn’t matter, there’s no rush for this moment anyway.

"Now that the war has ended and the Western Region has become more stable, it is now time for the imperial court to show off its talents. Exchanges between the East and the West are essential. Building roads is not practical, but it is still necessary to determine a safe road. I have an idea.

, it’s simple and fast!” Wang Buxian said.

It's boring to say that last month I received a report from Han Xin that Maodun Chanyu and Luo Tanjichou fled with tens of thousands of the main Xiongnu force.

The Han army scout Aruka became the new leader of the Xiongnu. Now all the remaining Xiongnu people have surrendered. They are cleaning up the battlefield and then bringing the prisoners to Loulan.

Soon after, news came from Yingbo.

Although there was no total annihilation, the result was similar. Only a few thousand Donghu people escaped, and the rest were either killed, injured, or captured.

In this way, both the northern and southern battlefields are over.

Therefore, Wang Buxian had to focus on future governance.

"As long as we don't build roads..." Chen Ping nodded with a smile. If we don't mention building roads, we are still good friends.

"Plant trees! It's such a long journey, tens of thousands of miles long. It's not easy to complete this road, and you have to worry about getting lost."

"But planting a few rows of trees on both sides of the road will make a difference. Even people who have never walked before will not have to worry about getting lost. They only need to follow the direction of the trees."

"And this kind of tree can not only guide the way, but also block the scorching sun in summer. When the time comes to set up road signs and inns along the way, wouldn't it be more convenient?" Wang Buxing said blatantly.

You can recognize the road if you travel a lot, but on this road, you may not be able to recognize it.

After all, it is not a road in the Central Plains region. No matter how much it is traveled, it is impossible to use it as frequently as in the Central Plains region.

Here, if there are no road guides or signs, maybe after a storm, the previous road will be buried, and people who come after you will probably get lost.

But things are different after planting a tree. The tree will not move. It will stay wherever you plant it.

At that time, no matter it is storm, rain or snow, it will be impossible for the trees to move. Merchants only need to follow the guidance of the trees.

Is this project large in volume?

Very big!

But this project is also very necessary.

Once this project is completed, the subsequent trade and cultural exchanges between the East and the West will be unprecedented, and the scale will exceed any era in history.

Of course, forget it in later generations, when all kinds of black technologies are frequently emerging, it can't compare.

"Well, I think this can be done. Don't we have almost 300,000 prisoners now? We have to take them back and send them to the south anyway. Why not let them plant trees all the way back, as far as the Western Regions are concerned?

, let the counties along the way be responsible for the road planting in their own territory..." Chen Ping nodded directly in agreement.

Anyway, there is a ready workforce, so if you don’t use it, it will be in vain.

Besides, just planting trees, how big a deal is it?

There is no shortage of trees in the Western Region, it's just that the distance is a little farther, but it's not a big deal. There are more than 300,000 people, who can dig holes and plant trees while others look for trees.

"Your Majesty, it is best to find some drought-tolerant trees, or when choosing, it is best to be close to a water source, otherwise the tree may not survive if planted. Moreover, after the inn is built in the future, water sources will also be a big problem."

"Another one, after this road is built, there will definitely be wild animals coming in and out frequently. They like this kind of environment, so safety is also a problem."

Guan Ying looked at the few people with a smile, and then said sinisterly: "Your Majesty, I think the imperial court can form a road protection army. How big will it be? This can be discussed in the future. Let's talk about this army first.

Their main task is to protect this road. Where the trees die, they can replant them in time, but the cost is too high."
Chapter completed!
