If we use one sentence to describe the axis era, it is a big era created in a small circle.

The East Asian cultural circle with the "All Schools of Thoughts" of China as the axis; the South Asian cultural circle with the ancient India Shakyamuni as the axis; and the European cultural circle with Plato and Aristotle as the axis. It is like three moons shining in the dark night sky, shining with its own brilliance but never interacting with each other since then.

Condensation without dispersion is like erection for a long time but cannot vent. This is contrary to the laws of nature and human ethics, and it is not a good thing.

Therefore, the greatest contribution of the ancient Silk Road was not only to bring about species exchange and monetary benefits, but to give East and West a face-to-face contact, just like a pair of shy newcomers. As long as they can get together, they are not afraid of not being able to give birth to a new life.

Like all later generations, Bai Dong once had an obsession that it was almost impossible to open up the Silk Road in this era. However, the appearance of Silde made him realize that sometimes things that seem impossible are actually the greatest possibility.

Before the greater development of astrology and ship technology, humans had almost no possibility of discovering America. However, in the era of "East-West Great Exchanges" before the Age of Discovery, the discovery of the Silk Road on the Land was not limited by science and technology, but limited by opportunities, horizons, or the needs of rulers.

The King of Shang needed beautiful nephrite to bury his woman, so someone got Hetian jade from the extreme west. Zhang Qian was originally ordered to go to the Western Regions to find the Great Yuezhi, but was captured by the Huns and worked as a shepherd for more than ten years. However, he was smarter than Mr. Su Wu. He sang "The brother and the sister are in tears" every day, which made the Huns gradually relax their vigilance, and then they found an opportunity to escape, but they actually got lost.

The history books say that he wanted to continue to fulfill the emperor's trust, so he continued to cross the Pamir Plateau westward and arrived at Dayuan. This was a lie! A minister and nobleman were forced by the Huns to release the sheep for more than ten years. After escaping, the first thing he did was not to return to his hometown and meet his white-haired mother, but to continue to fulfill his mission? In fact, he was just lost. However, this lost journey allowed him to see the Western Regions world where danger and opportunity coexist, and even arrived in Central Asia at the farthest. After returning to China, under his inspiration, Emperor Wu of Han presided over the opening of the ancient Silk Road with his yearning for a good horse in Dayuan and a masked beauty in Central Asia.

After all, Zhang Qian's development of the Silk Road was an inevitable result full of accidents. He was originally on a mission to Dayuezhi to seek cooperation to fight the Huns, and he never thought that he would become the "cultural exchange ambassador" admired by everyone in later generations; but exchanges between the East and the West are another inevitable. Even if Zhang Qian did not appear, Zhao Qian, Wang Qian and Li Qian would sooner or later come out. Bai Dong suddenly wanted to slap himself. As a time traveler, he actually wanted Silde to remind himself that this is not stupid?

The land Silk Road is completely different from the maritime Silk Road. The latter is limited by the development of ship technology and navigation. The former is based on human and horse legs and camel legs. Before the steam industry era came, the conditions in the Western Han Dynasty might not be much better than those in the pre-Qin period. Mr. Zhang Qian was not going to Central Asia in a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, and he also had to wear legs.

The natural and political conditions for opening the Silk Road in this era were even more convenient than in the Western Han Dynasty. Now Lao Qin was more familiar with the Western Rong. At this time, the city of the Western Rong was weaker than in the Western Han Dynasty. Most of them were still worried about survival. Moreover, as long as they traveled westward from Xinjiang (the Western Regions), the Persian Empire was closest to the eastern province at this time. For Lao Qin, who was thinking of exchange rather than conquering, it was actually more convenient for Central and Western Asia to have a stable and unified regime. The current "mysterious buyer" who intended to buy Silde should have seen this point. Unfortunately, the careless Persians were looked down upon by them and counterattacked the Qiang soldiers, but in the end, Xiqimu had a close relationship with the beauty of Athenian beauty...

"Across the areas ruled by the Qiang people, there are many weak countries in the Western Regions? The fastest way for Lao Qin to expand its manpower is to use these Western Rong to fill our population. If the plan is successful, Lao Qin can quickly expand its population to five million in the next ten years, or even more!"

Ying Quliang looked at Bai Dong with a dumbfounded look. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese countries have been instilled with the idea that China is among the world, believing that except for China, the Eastern Yi, Southern Barbarians, Northern Di, Western Rong were all savages, and they could not even be called humans. The Western Rong was even called the "Quan Rong" by the Chinese because of the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Qin State was actually a mixed country with "multi-ethnic" state, but because our ancestors once shed horses for the Zhou emperor, the old Qin people would proudly think that they were descendants of Yan and Huang with a strong root and a descendant of Zhuanxu. They subconsciously distinguished themselves from these Rongdi people, and looked down on the vast areas controlled by the Western Rong and believed that those areas were abandoned by gods, and there was nothing worthy of praise except for diseases and disasters.

He held the "Big Girl Pilot Report" submitted by Bai Dong, which was recently counted by Lantian County. Judging from the data, the first batch of big girls who had conceived and gave birth to children was in good condition, and the fetal mortality rate was only 20%. But even if the data was correct, Lao Qin promoted the "Big Girl Conceive Method" nationwide, and the population would increase by about 30% in 20 years. This number is still too low. If Bai Dong's plan is really feasible, Lao Qin's development speed will shock the Shandong countries. He can recover the old land in Hexi and even suppress Wei Han in his lifetime!

Ying Quliang is very confident in the new law, and what is missing now is people! Bai Dong's proposal is so tempting to him, but can it really be successful? If according to Bai Dong's statement, there are countless city walls that make a living by grazing cattle and sheep in the depths of the Western Regions, they will give up their long-accustomed lifestyle and come to Lao Qin for the people? Even if they are willing to come, will Lao Qin be in chaos? Ying Quliang's head is about to explode. He is deeply fascinated by the beautiful pictures depicted by Bai Dong, and at the same time he has various concerns...

"Silde's mother came from a distant city in the West, called Athens. From Athens to the Qin Dynasty, she had to cross countless mountains and deserts. On this vast land, there was a country that controlled countless oceans and lands in a radius of tens of millions of miles. Its name was Persia. The Zhurong, who we call the Western Regions, now has a very nice name, called Chenggu Zhuguo. The area controlled by the Qiang people, just cut the Persian Empire west of the old Qin. Third brother, you have to believe me. Persia has a lot of things we need, and at the same time, our silk and porcelain will be cherished by them as treasures. This is an empire that has not stopped plundering for hundreds of years. They have a large amount of gold and silver that we can easily get, and then use the Persian gold to buy food, iron and all precious resources from various countries in Shandong."

Ying Quliang's breathing began to become rapid: "First conquer the cities and countries in the Western Regions, use their men and women to fill the population of Lao Qin, and then go and trick those Persians? My good fourth brother, are you sure the Persians won't call him?"

"It's not that easy to fight them. Moreover, the Persian Empire is in a period of decline, and they can't handle the Greeks. As long as we show our strength a little, they will become as well-behaved as little white rabbits. The vast Persian Empire and even the Western world that had long been in contact with the Persian Empire will become the culprit and back garden of Lao Qin..."

“Back garden?”

Ying Quliang obviously liked metaphors very much. He laughed and patted Bai Dong's shoulder repeatedly, smiling like an old wolf who had just passed the winter.

"To turn the Persian Empire into the back garden of Lao Qin, we must first control the Western Regions. Third brother, don't misunderstand, what I am talking about is not a conquest by force, but a cultural and economic aggression. If it goes well, maybe in just five or six years, I can make the people of the Western Regions willing to come to Lao Qin and cannot even drive it away!"

Bai Dong laughed, if there was a good period for China to completely control the Western Regions, it was this era! At this time, the Yiqiu Kingdom, the strongest among the military forces in the Western Regions, had been separated and formed a country, and now Lao Qin is regarded as the monarchy.

The city wall was still weak, and they had to be suppressed from the Persian Empire from time to time. It would take more than 30 years before they could gradually become stronger after Alexander defeated the Persian Empire. It would take at least fifty to one hundred years of development to become the Huns, which gave the Chinese people a headache for later generations.

Now Lao Qin is reforming and strengthening, while the Rongs of the Western Regions are still respecting their wizards, and they exist in the form of small tribes. Even a large tribal alliance has not been formed yet. To lure these "primary school students", Bai Dong, a monster, can come up with a hundred ways to blink his eyes...

"How do you need me to support you? First, I explain that Lao Qin has no money, so you need to find a way to do this yourself."

Ying Quliang is becoming more and more rogue now. Now he cheated on his fourth brother is his greatest life pleasure. Who made this kid more money? He is just a rabbit now, and he is so jealous.

"Does the third brother really refuse to pay? If your brother makes money in the future, you are not allowed to be jealous. In addition, I also want someone to go to the West to overcome all obstacles and build a communication base for me, Daqin! In the first two or three years, they would make huge sacrifices, and their lives were extremely difficult, which was almost equivalent to exile."

"This is probably very difficult. All my old Qin children are treasures. How can I 'exiled' at will? I can't explain it to the people." Ying Quliang frowned slightly, and Bai Dong gave him a difficult problem.

"What if they were dead people, but they had a glimmer of hope because of the lord's tolerance?"

Bai Dong looked at Ying Quliang with a smile: "Now there are tens of thousands of people under Wei Yang's knife. As long as the king gives a special amnesty order, they will continue to open up new borders for the old Qin..."

Ying Quliang's eyes lit up: "Xinjiang?"

"Yes, it's Xinjiang~ Xinjiang. In the future, the Western Regions will be the new territory of our Great Qin. The third brother will expand his territory and achieve civil and military success!"
