The only thing that can compete with the food country is the newly emerged Germanic Empire. As for the old power, the Roman Empire, it is already declining and is being attacked by the Germanic Empire and the Huns.
At this time, Datang was also equivalent to an emerging force, but it was still much weaker than Dashi.
Although Luo Zhang was aware of this, he didn't know how big the gap was.
After all, Luo Zhang didn't stay long when he went to Dashi, and he couldn't get in touch with the higher levels of Dashi Country.
But even so, being able to meet a strong man in the Return to Void Realm opened Luo Zhang's horizons, and he realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
Of course, his gains were not small, and his own strength had reached the peak of the innate level. The old poisonous Sun Simiao who accompanied him had also reached this level, and even Chen Kuifeng had advanced to the late innate stage.
As for the twelve guards, they all broke through to the early stage of innateness. However, their advancement was not achieved by eating Queen Jingjue's things, but by eating the sea cucumbers exchanged by Luo Zhang from the system.
Not to mention abducting a master of the Return to the Void Realm to go to the Tang Dynasty. Although this is also a time bomb, it is better than nothing.
Overall, this trip to the food country was quite fruitful.
Five days passed by in a flash. After a long journey, Luo Zhang and his gang finally arrived at the Sang country that Queen Jingjue mentioned.
This country is located on an oasis. Oasis are extremely rare in the desert. Jianguo would naturally choose such a boundary.
An oasis means a water source, and there is a river here, which is a branch of the Loulan Kingdom's water source.
From time to time, you can see camel caravans passing by on the oasis. These are merchants traveling to and from the 18 countries in the Western Regions and even further places doing business.
It is because of these people that the prosperity of world trade can be promoted.
There were many such merchants in the Tang Dynasty, who would send things from the Western Regions or Persia, or even further afield, to the Tang Dynasty.
After all, Datang is also a big country, a prosperous country with its own characteristics. If you sell things to Datang, you can also buy things needed by some places in the Western Regions from Datang.
This is how Tang Sancai came into being.
As for the caravans of the Tang Dynasty, they have not penetrated too far and have only reached the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions.
After all, this is the closest country to the Tang Dynasty. There were originally Tubo, Xue Yantuo, Gaoguli, Turks and other countries, but they were all destroyed by Luo Zhang and they were brought back into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, there were no The foreign trade transactions of these countries can be regarded as the transactions of our own country.
Sang City is not big, and it can't be big. It's hard to find the things needed to build a city here. It's not easy to build it. And the population is not large. It can't be like the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Country. Comparable to great powers like the German Empire.
But such a small country is indispensable. In the desert, it is precisely with such a small country as a transit that trade can prosper. This is why the Loulan Kingdom is so close to the big food country, but it has not been eaten by the big food country. The reason why a country is destroyed is not because it is immortal and it is easy to destroy it.
But what happens after it’s destroyed? We have to send troops to guard it, and we have to send people to manage it. Not to mention the trouble, and there are so many things to do, it is better to keep the Loulan Kingdom like this, make it a tributary, and pay tribute.
As for the Sang Kingdom, it is probably the same situation that has allowed it to survive until now. After all, such a small country cannot look down upon a behemoth like the Big Food Country.
As the camel teams entered Sangcheng, Luo Zhang paid the entrance fee of one silver coin.
This silver coin was obtained from Dashi Country. It is universal to Sang Country.
Entering the city, Luo Zhang looked at the buildings in Sang City. He was familiar with Loulan Kingdom. They were all made of adobe, not big rocks. After all, there were not many big rocks in the desert, and some were just made of adobe and sand.
The key to this kind of material is that it is cheap and is perfect for building houses.
Groups of guards were walking back and forth on the streets of Sang Country. They looked quite similar, but after discovering the strength of these guards, Luo Zhang shook his head slightly.
The leader of these guards is only at the Qi Sensing Realm, and the other subordinates are only at the Pulse Opening Realm. Facing a master like Luo Zhang, they might die just by blowing their breath.
However, these guards were not meant to deal with Luo Zhang, but to deal with merchants and civilians.
In front of them, these people are masters, powerful, and big shots who cannot afford to offend!
