The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 635 The Silk Road
Ren Tian looked at the map and thought.

At present, the map of Xinguo has become very large. From the beginning of the two counties of Xinguo, so far, it has spanned several counties, and it has reached the highest level of the state. Nintendo can choose at least three counties combined into one state.

The advantage of this kind of merger is that it can be easily managed. If there are three counties, then three prefects must be appointed, but if it is one state, only one state shepherd or governor will be appointed, which is a great savings in terms of talents.

From Xinguo all the way to the south, on those black maps, to Mianchao, the whole map is a bit long.

Of course, this kind of neutral country does not actually affect the player's struggle for hegemony. Players can completely bypass these neutral countries, as long as they defeat the rest of the players. This kind of neutral country is just a means of diplomacy for players.

After pondering for a moment, Ren Tian asked: "Zhang Aiqing, have you found out how the craftsmanship of this Mian Dynasty is?"

"Your Majesty, I specially bought some weapons and armor, as well as silk cloth, including salt, special products, such as black pearls, jewelry, rubber, and even some special seeds."

"Oh, let me see."

Zhang Qian handed in the memorial, Ren Tian looked at it, and then a series of system prompts sounded.

"Ding, a new species has been discovered in Xinguo, pineapple."

"Pineapple: a tropical and subtropical fruit that can be grown in Xinguo. Pineapple can be circulated in the market as a special product. At the same time, the increase of pineapples can also greatly enrich the table food of Xinguo people."

"Ding, 'Pepper' was discovered in the new country."

"Pepper: It grows in tropical regions with an annual rainfall of 2500 mm. It is a rather special seasoning crop."

The continuous system prompts let Ren Tian discover at least a dozen items, and Ren Tian even discovered new fish, which can be put into the pond as freshwater fish for breeding.

As for the equipment that Zhang Qian bought back, let’s take the simplest long sword as an example. Compared with the long sword produced by Xinguo, in terms of value, it has higher basic attack power, durability, and armor penetration. There are quite a few, and it can be seen that the level of craftsmanship of Mianchao completely crushes Xinguo.

"Zhang Aiqing, what kind of situation is this Mian Dynasty? Is it aggressive?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Mian Dynasty loves peace. Although it is powerful, it does not take the initiative to invade the surrounding countries. There are many small countries on the map, but they are actually attached to the Mian Dynasty. If other countries are invaded, the Mian Dynasty will send troops to protect them. "

Ren Tian nodded, since Mian Chao loves peace, it's easy to say.

Zhang Qian said again: "I have one more thing to do when I come back this time. I would like to ask His Majesty to agree to open up a commercial route between Xinguo and Mianchao."

"Ding, do you want to open the Silk Road between Xinguo and Mianchao? Note that this is Zhang Qian's skill. If you choose to open it, the effect of the Silk Road will be activated."

Silk Road: A limited skill that turns a commercial route connected to Xinguo into a Silk Road. All countries along the Silk Road will double their favorability towards Xinguo, and the trade growth rate of Xinguo on this commercial route will increase. Double, and have a higher probability of harvesting rare blueprints and treasures.

"confirm."

Nintendo immediately selected Confirm.

After an imperial edict went down, Zhang Qian took it and continued: "Your Majesty, since the Silk Road has been opened, Honglu Temple can take the lead and select some officials to go to Mian Dynasty as diplomatic envoys. In addition, talents from all walks of life can be selected to go there. Mian Chao will study."

Ren Tian took a closer look at this proposal, and learned from the system panel that this is equivalent to advanced education. If the talents of the country are sent to countries with higher national levels, then the growth rate of talents will be accelerated. Take Wen Chen as an example, Wen Chen His attribute ability will increase very quickly. Of course, correspondingly, he may also be changed by some knowledge and thoughts of the Crown Dynasty, which is also an uncertain effect.

Regarding this, Ren Tian looked directly at Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Wan, please come up with a list for me. I will vigorously implement what Zhang Aiqing said. In addition, caravans will also be arranged for me. I see that the domestic caravans are very busy recently, and they can be sent in large numbers. Mian Dynasty."

"Yes."

Jiang Wan clasped his fists.

Ren Tian looked at Lin Xiangru again: "Lin Aiqing, if you have time, you can go to Mianchao yourself, and you must strengthen the relationship between Xinguo and Mianchao."

"Yes."

After some explanations, Ren Tian was satisfied. This was another piece of good news.

He doesn't have to worry too much about the war. It's impossible for Bai Qi to defeat the Dragon Kingdom, and Guan Yu has already passed.

Xie Dang also came out.

"Your Majesty, Tongque Terrace and Taoyuan have been built, and many other basic projects have been completed."

Ren Tian opened the building panel and took a look. Tongque Terrace and Taoyuan were indeed built, but the city upgrade task in Nan County would still take some time.

After this matter is dealt with, the rest of the government affairs are all trivial matters.

At this time, Chen Lin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the trend of folk associations is prevalent recently, do you want to stop it?"

"Association?"

Ren Tian was a little surprised, he knew about associations, associations, but associations in ancient times were not so simple, and often easily evolved into political associations.

"Yes, there are many folk associations formed for the study of words, and they have also emerged recently, and there are many people."

Ren Tian smiled and said: "There is no need to stop it for the time being."

Chen Lin withdrew, and Ren Tian then dealt with the matter of Guangling County, but Guangling County was considered to be quiet but the wind was still there. One was that the local aristocratic families directly broke out in rebellion.

According to the information sent by Zhuge Liang, the rebellion in Guangling County should be related to a country in the north, and he has ordered Chen Tang to start suppressing the rebellion.

Furthermore, the countries in the Central Plains to the north of Guangling County seem to be ready to move.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment, and after reading the information sent by Zhuge Liang, he felt that things were exactly the same.

However, there is no doubt about Zhuge Liang's ability. All of these can be handled well, and in the face of insufficient troops, Zhuge Liang directly set up an eight-formation map in the border area between Guangling County and the northern country. The possibility that the other party wants to invade.

The Eight Formation Diagram is a terrifying trap. Unless the opponent's ability in this area exceeds Zhuge Liang, the Eight Formation Diagram will be difficult to solve.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment, and considered it over.

Xiao He of Shuibo County just passed by, and it will take some time to deal with it.

Then, Ren Tian looked at the map again, planning to join a state directly, otherwise, Xinguo would not have enough talents.

The first state, Ren Tian directly put Guangling County, Pingyuan County, Linchuanxi County and Hejian County including Linchuan County into one state, and the name of this state is Beiyuan State .

As for the candidate for the state shepherd, it was naturally Zhuge Liang.

After an imperial decree, the first state of Xinguo appeared.
