Chapter 182 (2/2)
”Mr. Chen, what Yao Chong said is very true. In the Han Dynasty, it was a wealthy country, and iron was always their proud product. As long as we controlled the Kucha, it would be difficult for other places to make breakthroughs in the metal needed to make weapons. And its food is much richer than the other three towns. Only here is the most suitable place to protect the capital. ” Huan yanfan also said seriously.Li Hong nodded in silence. They were all right. Qiuci was indeed the most prosperous place in the western regions. However, baissuni was too stupid to be swallowed up by other countries and eventually went to extinction.
What's more, the Kucha people here today, because they are located in the traffic throat, are the traffic arteries connecting the western regions and other countries in the Tang Dynasty, and have always been the transfer stations for the connection of cultural heritage.
Today, Buddhism is still believed in, but after a few hundred years, after the Chinese people lost control of this place, they were eventually ruled by the Chinese people, and any people who dared to believe in Buddhism were slaughtered.
So this is why Li Hong takes this place very seriously, because as long as Kucha is kept, the west of the Tang Dynasty will maintain peace and stability. Because of the existence of Qiuci, the ambition of other countries to the western regions will be restrained.
But the big things are solved, which doesn't mean the small ones are solved. Bai Chun's father and others don't know whether they were killed or hidden after the country's subjugation.
In recent years, Bai Chun has sent even a third of the Jingwei troops to the Kucha area, but she still has no clue about the whereabouts of her parents, brothers and sisters.
I used to comfort Bai Chun, but I didn't expect that Bai Chunbai took a look at her and said that her parents were still alive.
Li Hong said in his heart, you were so young that he sent you to Datang. It's OK for such cruel parents.
But Bai Chun obviously doesn't think so. She still cares about her parents. Li Hong shook his head, because erwumei had poked him in the forehead, saying that it was better to have a son than to have a girl.
You gave birth to a younger brother after you contradicted with your mother. Naturally, you gave birth to Li Lingyue, Princess of the Taiping, and beat yourself up.
Now, the weather of xiahongzi and other people have nothing to do.
The merchants from other places in the western regions who came back from the Tang Dynasty are now pouring into the city of Kucha for a final rest at the end of the new year's day. After the rest, they will continue to go west along the Taklimakan Desert and return to their own country.
Naturally, the camel's back is full of goods from the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the tea and silk of the Tang Dynasty are the main products inside. Of course, there must be a lot of glass and other articles on the carriage.
The wolf looked warily at the people coming and going. When he saw the camels, he didn't react much. However, as soon as he saw the horse team, the goods looked like food. He bared his teeth and wanted to run to the team and bite the horse's hooves.
Shops, inns, restaurants and teahouses are crowing at the door to attract business.
”Did Bai Chun mention any clues to you before?” Li hongnao scratched his head, and the ponytail was black and smooth.
The summer solstice was used to compare with the wolf's hair, and then let Li Hong hit the plump buttocks of the summer solstice fiercely. He hit the fengbuttocks of the summer solstice who was wearing thin clothes in the room at that time!
”I didn't say anything about it. I just occasionally talked about Buddha statues. There are many Grottoes here, which are full of various Buddha statues. It's very nice to see them. When she was a child, she was often taken there by her father or brother. By the way, you still say you don't like the Buddha statue. When you get to Kucha, you don't have to go to see it, so as not to worry. ” Summer solstice says finally, spit out tongue to do mischievous shape.
”Grottoes?” Li Hong frowned, the grottoes under the prevalence of Buddhism?
A burst of horse's hooves came from behind in a hurry, which awakened Li Hong's little inspiration. He quickly took Xiaoxue and Xiazhi to avoid the roadside.
As soon as the station was fixed, we saw about ten horsemen coming across the bustling street.
”Who is so rude? Running so fast in broad daylight, you can't see people all over the street? ” Next to an old woman in order to avoid the horse team, almost fell down, looking at the horse team passing by, whispered.
”Who else can be, then Luo Bei, who dares to be so tyrannical in Qiuci city.” Another voice seemed to answer the old woman's question.
Li Hong carelessly looks at the horse team, which has already run far away, pokes Mei in the waist, and signals her to go to the old woman and ask for something useful.
”Who is zelo? Grandma Banmei smiles and takes two steps forward. She reaches out her jade hand to help the old woman disperse the dust in front of her eyes. The weasel asks with a new year's greeting for the chicken.
