As soon as the envoy arrived, Daxingling was startled, how could he bypass Hexi and come from Beidi County, the reason for this is that Daxingling didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info immediately informed the servant and lieutenant, and got a preliminary understanding of the situation of the tribe of the two kings and the intentions of the two kings. He immediately led the team and sent people to Chang'an to meet the emperor according to foreign etiquette. At the same time, he participated in the court meeting convened by the emperor and discussed the matter.

After understanding, the emperor discussed with the three princes and nine kings for a while, and decided to surrender. Highlighting the great achievements of the emperor's soldiers without a fight, he formally met with the envoy in the Xuan Room and agreed that the two kings would lead their troops to join and give a piece of jade to show their sincerity. But at the same time, it is necessary to guard against whether the two kings surrendered by fraud, in order to recapture the Hexi Corridor. Therefore, he ordered Huo Qubing to lead 10,000 elite horsemen to Yanzhi Mountain to surrender. At the same time, the Han court was in full swing to make preparations in two aspects, if it was a fraudulent surrender, it would immediately increase troops to Hexi to completely eliminate resistance, and if it was true, then immediately send these hundreds of thousands of Huns to the interior. Deal with the trouble of digestion in the shortest possible time.

The messenger with the edict and jade bi in his hand smiled from ear to ear. I was entertained by the servants several times in Chang'an, and I knew what it meant to be delicious. After seeing Weiyang Palace, I know what **** majesty is. The envoys, who were a little unhappy, held the edict and set off surrounded by the guards of the Taifu faction, and when they left the city, they always looked behind, looking forward to coming back as soon as possible to enjoy the blessings. Only then did I know that the life on the grassland is really not a human life, and the flower world of Han is really attractive.

The messenger swaggered out of Jincheng and went to Jiuquan through Wuwei surrounded by the guards. Triumphantly walked out of front of Huo Quai. Comrade Xiao Huo hated it so much. The officers accompanying the party brought instructions from the emperor. Ordered himself to lead his army to surrender.

Li Dang was even more depressed, and the military exploits he said were flying again. Could it be that the Li family is cursed, do you really want to be like my father, I can't mix with a Hou Ye in my life, thinking of the curse, I remembered the time when Xue Qing said that Li Guang couldn't seal the Hou, and unconsciously looked at the guard who looked like a princess behind Huo Quai. Li Dang muttered in a low voice: "Obviously, it is, but it is like it." Hum. ”

The officials of the imperial court said that Zhang Qian, who had lost his official position, also followed, but there was no one to see at this time. Huo Qu's illness made people look around, and after a while, he found Zhang Qian crying in the river by the river.

Huo Qubing hurriedly asked the guards to quickly fish him ashore, but Zhang Qian stopped: "Don't move, don't worry." I'm fine. ”

Huo Quzhi was very strange: "What kind of trouble is Bo Wanghou doing?" ”

Zhang Qian picked up a handful of water and slapped it on his face, and the traces of tears were instantly covered. wiped his face and said: "The general is polite, I am no longer Bo Wanghou, the emperor is gracious, and I am allowed to return to Hexi, to see the general's great achievements, general, I have been detained by the Huns here for ten years, and I drink the water in this river every day. ”

Huo Quzhi scratched his head embarrassedly, and simply didn't talk about himself and comforted Zhang Qian: "Hou Ye don't worry, I know that Hou Yezhi is not in the field, but in diplomacy." The emperor values you very much, and when the limelight passes, he will naturally reactivate. ”

Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Then we have to rely on the general to get through Hexi." In the future, if I go to the Western Regions again, it will be much more convenient. Huo Quzhi stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Qian ashore and said, "I'm still going to go west again." After passing the river, we don't know much about the situation outside, so we still have to show the way. ”

Zhang Qian took the towel handed over by the guard, and said with a smile while wiping the water stains: "It's easy to say." ”

In the evening, Huo Qubing held a banquet to entertain Zhang Qian, as well as the Han envoys who came to convey the emperor's will. Although Zhang Qian was cut to civilian status on the Eastern Front, he was also very happy to achieve his long-cherished wish on the Western Front. With Huo Quai, a few people were drunk like mud. Xue Qing couldn't see this meeting, so she left early.

Back in the room, Qiu Ping came to report: "Your Highness, the people on the road have arrived in Hexi, and are preparing to take root in various places, and in two days, you will be able to reach Jiuquan." ”

Xue Qing nodded, this is a good thing, the next development of the Heavenly Dao is to move to this side. Xue Qing pondered that if she wanted to make money in these years, it was far from enough to rely on Yulu and Shiyi, and it was far from enough to get some land and farm and harvest.

The business is still too underdeveloped in these years, and the four words of self-sufficiency are far more terrible than imagined, ordinary farmers, every day ploughing, laboring, planting grain and paying taxes, they will stay and eat by themselves, and occasionally need to buy, but some wine syrup, some pots and pans or coarse cloth or something, are all from some small handicraft workshops, the profit itself is not large, and the production is not intensive. In many cases, even for these consumptions, farmers simply make their own wine, weave their own cloth, and get their own gadgets too lazy to buy.

And those people in the upper class who really have spending power, what do they consume? Delicacies from the mountains and seas, jewelry, jade, silk and satin and other luxury goods. These things can't be conjured up out of thin air, and even if you participate in this business, you will face high costs and small profit margins.

What is really needed to develop? It's food, it's minerals, it's manpower, and in the final analysis, it's money. Look at the Silk Road that is about to be opened. Xue Qing's heart naturally became lively. In addition to silk, the beautiful jade of the Western Regions, gold and spices are all good things, and at the same time, Xue Qing remembered another thing, that is, porcelain.

In those days, there was no porcelain, most of them were pottery, and occasionally some things with porcelain characteristics were burned. But this thing is nothing more than materials and temperature. It is just right to let the people of Tiandao research and produce by themselves, Jiangxi is far away in the sky, and it is difficult to continue, but not far below Wuling, is Liling, which is also the place where high-quality porcelain is produced in later generations, so at least there should be a lot of kaolin.

With fine porcelain, you can make a lot of money regardless of whether it is domestic money or foreign money.

While Xue Qing was fantasizing about how to earn money and how to spend it, Qiu Ping was still reporting on the development of Tiandao in various places. The Heavenly Dao is now basically all over the country, and some work has been carried out tentatively, such as building organizations in various places, developing some people of insight to join, and selecting some young people who are suitable for entering the Heavenly Dao. Most of them use the name of studying knowledge, but in fact they are also studying knowledge. In this way, a number of believers have developed throughout the country. (To be continued.) )
