    There were so many corpses that it took several days to dispose of them despite the help of ordinary people.  When corpses are burned, the stench can be smelled dozens of miles away, let alone Samarkand. The stench is unstoppable and unbearable.

    The reason for burning is because the weather is hot and the corpse cannot be left for too long. Digging a hole would be a waste of time.  Amidst the unpleasant stench, people came to ask for Chen Wanrong's burial, and they were willing to help.

    Chen Wanrong readily agreed, dug dozens of large pits outside the city, threw the bodies in them, and covered them with soil.  Soon, there were dozens of earthen bags under the city, like small hills, which became a strange sight.

    The most urgent matter at present is to deal with government affairs. Chen Wanrong felt relieved when he saw that the disposal of corpses was being carried out in an orderly manner, so he went to the city to understand the situation.  Chen Wanrong rushed to Samarkand and immediately went into battle. He didn't have time to understand Samarkand at all. Only now that he entered the city did he have the opportunity to learn more about it.

    "The wide streets, the grand city, and the row upon row of residential buildings are far inferior to Chang'an, and it is considered a rare big city in the Middle East.

    What impressed Chen Wanrong the most was the rush of people passing by, with joy on their faces. When they saw Chen Wanrong, they all happily shouted: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

    Since ancient Taibai captured Samarkand, he has done the opposite. First, he plundered people as slaves and sold them at low prices.  The second is to force the people here to change their beliefs and ask them to believe in Christianity, otherwise they will be beheaded.  Under high pressure, the people had to recite the Quran on the surface, but in their hearts they cursed Allah for not being a thing. They were always looking forward to Gu Taibai's misfortune, and wished that the Dashi Empire was over.

    Now, the Tang army has annihilated hundreds of thousands of Dashi troops under the city. This in itself makes the people happy. They have high expectations for the Tang Dynasty. How can they not be happy when they see Chen Wanrong, the supervisor of the army.

    "Hello, sir!" Many people greeted Chen Wanrong.

    Chen Wanrong had not gone far when a long queue followed him. After hearing the news, the people came and asked each other what kind of decree the Tang Dynasty would issue.  This was what they were most concerned about. An old man with gray hair stepped out from the crowd and stopped in front of Chen Wanrong: "Excuse me, sir, how will Datang treat us?"

    This is the question they are most concerned about. The people are staring at Chen Wanrong, looking forward to his answer.

    Chen Wanrong chuckled and said, "Old man, aren't you asking questions knowingly?"

    "You asked knowingly?" The old man was very confused.

    Chen Wanrong reminded him: "Since the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi in Samarkand, have the troops of the Tang Dynasty harassed you? Have they ever forced you?"

    "No!" Ge Shuhan knew the importance of winning the hearts and minds of the people in order to gain a long-term foothold. He strictly restrained the Tang army and did not disturb the people. The people responded in unison.

    Chen Wanrong asked again: "Old man, I am a high official of the Tang Dynasty. You are following me. I didn't send anyone to drive you away, right? When Gu Taibai was here, how could you follow him for such a long time?  Is it a way?"

    "No, no!" The old man understood and couldn't help but said: "He robs people as slaves. We would rather stay away from him than follow him."

    ???????????????????????????????? ????????????????¡¯¡¯¡¯

    Chen Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, I will write down Datang's measures soon and make them public to you. You can come and take a look. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

    "Good!" There is only one word, but it is extremely wonderful, with endless joy and expectation.

    Chen Wanrong did not tell lies. When he came to the commander's mansion, he immediately summoned people and asked them to write the list in Dashi script, write all the new policies of the Tang Dynasty on it, and post it everywhere.

    There are several main provisions of the New Deal. One is the abolition of slavery. Slaves are not allowed to be kept, and human beings are not allowed to be bought and sold.

    Since Qin Shihuang unified China, China has abolished slavery, but there were still "official slaves" at that time.  Thousands of years of history have passed, and by the Tang Dynasty, there were almost no slaves. Although there was a saying of "Kunlun slaves", according to what Chen Wanrong saw in Chang'an, their masters treated them like brothers and did not treat them badly at all.

    In current terms, the Tang Dynasty was far ahead of the world in terms of "human rights". This was the advanced nature of the feudal society of the Tang Dynasty.

    The situation in the Middle East is different. There is a slavery problem to a large extent, but it is not as serious as that of Tubo.  Of course, the slaves were the happiest when this decree was issued. They fully supported the Tang Dynasty.

    Not only slaves support it, but ordinary people also support it, because since the arrival of Taibai in ancient times, people have been plundered as slaves, and ordinary people have often transformed themselves into slaves.At a glance, sure enough, it was full of white ivory, as beautiful as jade.

    "Oh my god, how many elephants have to be killed?" Chen Wanrong sighed, and sighed inwardly: "Fortunately, this is ancient times. If so many elephants were killed in modern society, wouldn't the animal protection organization complain to the United Nations?  "

    Feng Changqing disagreed and said with a smile: "Jiang Jun, ivory is very precious to us in the Tang Dynasty, but it is not a big deal here. Because there are many elephants here, and such a small amount of ivory is too little.  "

    After he said it, Chen Wanrong remembered that China was short of ivory.  Ivory in ancient China mainly came from Annan and what is now Yunnan.  Of course, there are also some in the Yellow River Basin, but there are not many of them.

    It is precisely because there are not many elephants in China that ivory is even more precious.  However, there are many elephants in the Middle East, which were once used in battles. For them, ivory is not a rare treasure, but is not as valued as jewelry.

    Chen Wanrong's eyes were still shining: "There are not many ivory in the mainland, but there is a lot of ivory here, which can be traded. Think about it, if these ivory are transported back to Chang'an, how much will they sell for? Don't we already have military spending?  All these ivory must be shipped back.¡±

    Feng Changqing patted the ivory and said with a smile: "Such a good ivory, white and big, will definitely fetch a good price when shipped to Chang'an. Supervisor, there are a lot of elephants here. If the military budget is insufficient, send a branch  The army is here specifically to fight, and the sale of this ivory alone is enough to support the army."

    "I didn't see it, you look like a money addict." Chen Wanrong was in a good mood, pointed at Feng Changqing, and laughed.

    Feng Changqing said seriously: "Jian Jun, do you think this is a good idea or not?"

    "Good, good, but I'm afraid that someone will impeach you. They say that you are serving the public good for personal gain, sending troops to do business, be careful of going to heaven!" Chen Wanrong said with a smile: "Once this news spreads, I'm afraid it won't be our turn. Those in the mainland who want to make a fortune  Guys, are there still people who come here without hearing the news?"

    Feng Changqing didn't think of this. He was stunned and said: "We don't allow them to fight, that's all."

    "It's a good thing to let them fight!" Chen Wanrong had a different view, which could inspire the adventurous spirit of the Tang people.  You can make a fortune by going to the Middle East, which will inevitably drive many adventurers to come. Then, the connection between the Middle East and China will be even closer.

    Feng Changqing was lame. He brought a beautiful but antique box, patted it and said, "Jiangjun, there is another treasure here. Nothing here is as valuable as this one."

    Chen Wanrong opened it and took a look. Inside was a shiny spear. It was wiped clean and the tip of the spear was shiny. It was obvious at first glance that it was very sharp.  Chen Wanrong held it in his hand, which was very heavy, and asked: "It was very old, which famous monarch used it?"
