"Holy Lord, the envoys of Loulan and other countries asked to see him today, and the matter may be related to this matter."

Yang Zhiyuan stood up and spoke.

He is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it is natural for him to receive envoys who ask to see him.

Lu Chensheng's brows furrowed, "How did they know that they were going to use troops against the countries of the Western Regions?" Didn't someone leak the news? ”

He had already revealed to the ministers in the court that he wanted to take action against the countries of the Western Regions.

But this kind of news can't be revealed to the countries of the Western Regions.

Ministers should also know that there are some things that cannot be said to the outside world.

But this time, the other party came directly for the war, isn't this someone leaking the news?

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately shocked, and it was a serious crime to leak confidential information from the imperial court.

Could it be some fool who leaked out without concealment?

"Back to the Holy Lord, this matter should not have been leaked out by anyone, but the countries of the Western Regions who automatically came to the door to ask for a meeting."

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he hurriedly spoke.

Lu Chensheng glanced at him suspiciously, pondered for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Summoning the envoys of the Western Regions to meet him." ”

"Yes!"

When the guards heard this, they immediately began to speak.

In Russia, the envoys of the Western Regions stepped into the main hall, saw the emperor of the Xinghan Empire above, and hurriedly saluted.

"You have come all the way here, I don't know what you are for?"

Lu Chensheng asked meaningfully, he had already planned it.

The problem of the grassland has been solved, and the next thing is the countries of the Western Regions, in line with the idea that the hearts of those who are not of my race must be different, Lu Chensheng is naturally not ready to let go of the other party.

"Respected Emperor Xinghan, we are here to surrender to the Xinghan Empire, and we are willing to donate money every year to show our admiration."

The envoy immediately replied.

Submit to?

Lu Chensheng sat up straight, and was about to make a move on the other party, the other party was about to surrender, did no one really leak the secret?

Lu Chensheng's eyes glanced at the ministers, but among these courtiers, Lu Chensheng felt that he could be trusted, and it should not be such a spy.

If there really is, it should have been caught by Jinyiwei.

There is no evidence at the moment that Lu Chensheng is not prepared to inquire about this matter.

"If you are willing to surrender, the Xinghan Empire is naturally willing to accept it, the Xinghan Empire is vast and rich, and you can plan some places for you to multiply, and those places in the Western Regions are too remote and desolate."

When the envoy heard this, his face suddenly changed.

The other party asked them all to migrate inward, so that they were under the noses of the Han people, which was not good news for them.

Moreover, then they will have no kingdom.

"Holy Lord, can it be attached to the Xinghan Empire in the form of a vassal country?"

The envoy said cautiously.

If you really want to do what the other party said, he thinks that after a hundred years, their people will become Han Chinese.

Lu Chensheng's face remained unchanged, but he looked at the other party directly, giving the other party a lot of pressure.

"It can only be like this, there is no need for vassal countries, and the Xinghan Empire does not need such a thing."

When the envoy heard this, his face turned pale, and he arched his hand and said, "Holy Lord, then we need to go back and ask the king." ”

"Well, you go back and ask, if there is no reply after two months, you will be deemed to have refused."

When the envoy heard this, he went away in silence.

Originally, I thought that if it existed as a vassal country, it would not have to face the threat of the Xinghan Empire at that time, and it would be regarded as spending money to eliminate disasters.

But where did I think that the other party didn't want to give them such a meaning.

Moreover, it can also be seen from the meaning of the other party that the other party seems to be ready to do something to them!

If they don't agree this time, the next time they see each other's iron weapons, when they think of this, the envoys are cold in their hearts.

The envoys left one after another, but Lu Chensheng ignored them and continued with the next matters.

"The Ministry of Rites pays attention to the news from the Western Regions, and if they agree, they will divide a few places for them, break them up separately, and then begin to require them to wear Han family clothes, and start intermarrying, using the Han language."

Lu Chensheng said to Yang Zhiyuan of the Ministry of Rites.

If the other party really agrees, then there are other things waiting for them next.

If these policies are implemented one by one, they can directly sinicize each other, and after a few generations, the children of the other party will think that they are like the Han people and belong to the Star Empire.

Yang Zhiyuan opened his mouth, with a little shock in his eyes, he didn't expect that the Holy Lord still had such a means waiting.

If this really continues, it won't be long before the countries of the Western Regions will really be destroyed.

In the future, there will be no more countries in the Western Regions, and some are just the Xinghan Empire.

"Yes! The minister got it. ”

knew what the saint meant, but Yang Zhiyuan didn't object to anything.

"How is the road construction in various places?"

Lu Chensheng asked.

He has given the way of making cement to many families and businessmen to make cement.

The only condition is that they can help make more cement and build roads all over the place.

"To the Holy Lord, the current progress is quite gratifying, but if you want to complete the road construction across the country, it is not so fast, and it will take about three years to complete the road construction across the country."

"Three years? It's too slow. ”

Lu Chensheng frowned, a little dissatisfied with this progress.

"Holy Lord, three years is already very fast, and it is really impossible to do it if you want to be fast."

Wang Tianxun gritted his teeth and replied.

Cement is not so easy to make, all kinds of materials need to be ground into powder, where there is so simple, in addition to many places to use.

Those merchants of the family first made cement to make money, and then used a little bit to build roads.

In this period of three years, Wang Tianxun felt very rushed.

Lu Chensheng also knows that without the help of machinery, cement is indeed difficult to make, so the output has been very low.

Although a lot of workshops have been opened, they have reached the upper limit of production.

"Let's do it for now."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said, it seems that he has to go back and supervise it, and let the crew go to find the rubber tree.

With the rubber tree, the technology of the Xinghan Empire can take a big leap forward.

Ships and everything, you can use them.

The court meeting lasted for a while, and after the ministers had nothing to do, the guards announced their retirement from the court, Lu Chensheng got up and left the palace, sat on the dragon and asked Gu Zhifang to inquire about the news.

After half a pillar of incense, Lu Chensheng sat in the small pavilion, and Gu Zhifang came back with the news to report.

"Back to the Holy Lord, it's not that someone leaked the news."

Gu Zhifang replied respectfully.
