What Liu Yu said was actually a bit of bragging.
Although the land in the ancient Northeast was fertile, there were two major problems that had to be overcome if we wanted to open up wasteland for farming.
However, there are also large areas of black land in the western region of Hezhong!
The first one is a completely barren land that must be managed with great efforts in advance before it can be turned into a highly productive land.
Although the second land is vast and sparsely populated, the land has a much better development environment. .
Liu Yu's boast was simply to describe the Hezhong area in the Western Regions as a peach blossom garden at this time.
With the most fertile and fertile land, there are only some backward barbarians who use fish skins and animal bones. It is simply the perfect place to make achievements.
After Wang Ze heard this, he was immediately tempted.
After seeing Wang Ze's interest, Liu Yu was secretly happy.
His purpose was to make Wang Ze regard these places as excellent territory.
Because now Wang Ze has become the biggest backer of the Taiyuan Wang family in the Central Plains.
Wang Chang, Wang Zan and other state and county generals are all not as effective as Wang Ze, the queen.
In order to bring glory to their family, many descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan recommended themselves to Wang Chang, Wang Zan and others, hoping to seek official positions.
There were too many people, and in the end they were all sent to Wang Ze.
The king was very embarrassed about the uncles and brothers of these clans. He neither dared to reuse them nor refused them.
Now after Liu Yu said this, Wang Ze immediately had a new idea.
Since Liu Yu wants to make great efforts to govern the Western Region Protectorate in the future, he will naturally need more people.
Listening to what Liu Yu said, if done well, it would be easy to split the land and seal the territory. Although the land was in the wilderness, it could be regarded as a high-ranking official.
Wang Ze immediately had a solution.
Leave those clan members who are knowledgeable, famous and motivated to stay in Yecheng and develop slowly.
As for those clan disciples who had nothing to do but seek official positions every day, they were all sent to the Protectorate of the Western Regions to educate the barbarians.

Chang'an.
A tall, brand-new gatehouse, like a majestic mountain, appeared in front of the Roman Maximilian.
The curly beard on the Roman Maximilian's face became trembling.
His lips were already trembling with excitement, and he managed to calm down after swallowing hard.
"Ma An, come here quickly!"
Suddenly, a shout with a Liangzhou accent made Roman Maximilian recover from his shock.
The Roman Maximilian immediately put on the kind smile inherent in businessmen and walked over with small steps.
"My husband of the Zhang family, what are your orders?" Maximilian, a Roman, smiled with a smile on his face.
A Han man wearing a soft leather robe was already used to his flattery.
He pointed at the Roman Maximilian and said to a Han army leader on guard duty at the city gate.
"Master Jun, look at it, he can still say what we say!",
"So what if I can speak Chinese?" Gu
The Han army leader stared at Na Shipantuo seriously, as if looking at a military medal.
"The Jiehu people back then were all good at talking, but they were not the same beasts!"
After Nashi Pantuo heard this, he was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat.
Although he is far away in Kang Juguo in the Western Regions, he is still relatively familiar with the wars that have occurred in the Central Plains in recent years.
The Huns were almost wiped out in the recent war, and their former lackeys, the Jiehu people, were also wiped out by the Han people in the war.
Those Jiehu people actually have the same ancestors as the Kangju people. Although they were surrendered by the Huns early and became slaves, their appearance has not changed.
Nashipantuo didn't want to be killed by the Han army as a military achievement.
"Sir, I am not from Jiehu. We Kangju people are all good people, and we are good people who want to be educated by the Han." Nashi Pantuo said in a weird accent.
This time he came to do business under the order of his master, but he had a heavy task on his shoulders and could not be detained by the Han army.
As Nashipantuo finished speaking, a pocket full of silver coins was stuffed into the hands of the Han army leader.
The Han officer measured it lightly with his hand and had an idea in his mind.
In fact, it is basically impossible for these so-called barbarian business travelers from the Western Regions to have any evil deeds by the Jiehu people.
However, since the trade routes were reopened, many barbarians from the Western Regions were dishonest and tried their best to smuggle various prohibited items from the Central Plains. This made the Han soldiers greatly alert.
Now that this curly-haired foreigner from the Western Regions was so knowledgeable, the Han officer planned to let him go.
"Then what are the goods you brought?" the Han officer asked.
The Liangzhou official surnamed Zhang was about to answer when Nashi Pantuo next to him spoke first.
"Master Jun, our country of Kang is rich in gems and horses. What we brought here this time are all gems and horses, as well as a large amount of spices and furs. They are all legal trades!"
"Legal sale? I'm afraid that the things you bring are legal, but the things you want to take away are not!"
The Han officers sneered at this statement.
"May I ask Master Jun, are there any forbidden things that cannot be taken away?" Nashi Pantuo asked immediately.
"My big man's silkworms, horses, cattle, sheep, and crocodiles are not allowed to be sold!"
The officer kept saying a lot of things that were not allowed to be sold.
Finally, he pointed at the dozen corpses on the city wall and continued.
"Did you see that these barbarians from the Western Regions just want to take the silkworms away with them? When we find out, we will kill them!"
Nashipantuo looked at him again, and then left with a shaky nod to express his submission.
Since the opening of the Silk Trade Road, Liu Yu has not forgotten some of the pitfalls in history.
The most important thing is the strict embargo on many goods.
The most important item is silkworm seed, which is the source control of silk.
Historically, Chinese silk was exported because Indian business travelers and monks stole silkworm seeds and then spread them among the goods.
From then on, the Western Regions and West Asia had self-produced silk, and ancient China suffered a wave of commercial losses in vain.
Therefore, Liu Yu ordered the Han army in Guanzhong to strictly investigate all kinds of smuggling, especially the smuggling of silkworm seeds, which was first punished with death. If there were accomplices, whether they were Han people or barbarians, whether they were civilians or officials, they would all be considered guilty. .
"Don't dare, don't dare. We Kang people are all good citizens, and we would never dare to do such things that violate discipline."
