None of those present were fools.

Tian Dan said so, can't they still hear what this means?

Everyone knows that the Han Dynasty's plan to annex the Western Regions has begun to move from the preparatory stage to the actual operation stage.

And as early as the preparation stage, they couldn't stop it.

Now that it's time for the operation, can they still stop it?

The answer, of course, is no!

More importantly, from the time they came to Luoyang to the present, it has only been four months.

What is four months enough?

Of course, a lot can be done, but a few months are obviously not enough for a country to prepare for a battle to control hundreds of city-states thousands of miles away.

But the Han Dynasty did it, and in addition to these invisible strengths, they also saw the real hard power.

Agriculture, mines, ironworks, workshops of all kinds, armies.

There is not a single one that they do not envy, and there is not a single one that they are not afraid of.

And for these messengers, the outcome doesn't really matter.

Because whether the Western Regions belong to the Han Dynasty or continue to develop according to the current situation, it has little to do with them.

No matter what they do, those Western Regions city-states can't be theirs, and if they want to make a profit in the Western Regions, it's not impossible, but there will never be such a great opportunity as now.

And with the help of this envoy, they took the lead in establishing a good relationship with the Han Dynasty.

It can even be said that this mission has given them a chance to reshuffle the cards.

In the past, in the Western Regions, the bigwigs of the city-states naturally wanted to occupy the lion's share, but when they came to Luoyang, they would inevitably be the ones who were in charge.

There is no doubt that Tian Dan has promised these envoys that the big man will stand behind them.

There is no need to doubt this, if you want these people to work hard, you must let them see the benefits after the Han Dynasty, otherwise why should people work hard?

Similarly, the Han Dynasty still put a lot of effort into buying these people.

After determining their own interests, these envoys can be regarded as completely relieved.

However, they themselves would never have thought that it was just a coerced mission, and how could they sell their country in the end......

Well, the Han Dynasty was really strong.

At the end of the second day, they were even more convinced.

One day, the first day of the eighth month.

This time the court meeting was more lively than before, and there were more participants.

The envoys of the Western Regions also had the opportunity to climb the long-admired palace of the Great Han Palace, and unlike the last time, this time everyone was qualified to participate in the meeting.

For this reason, the Great Han Hall had to make temporary changes, moved away a few cases, and increased the number of pu mats.

Even if the allocation was reduced, after these envoys from the Western Regions entered, they were shocked.

Everywhere I looked, there were envious eyes.

If a country is weak, it is absolutely impossible to build such a large palace and it is so luxurious.

How big is the entire palace?

Before entering the Great Han Palace, they also knew.

As big as a city, compared to the cities of many city-states in the Western Regions, the palace of the Han Dynasty can dominate.

The family is big, and there are naturally a lot of rules.

At the beginning of the court meeting, it was still the leaders of the three provinces who said a few big and small things.

Then the Loulan envoys took the lead, and proposed to the emperor the idea of resignation, and begged the emperor to send someone to protect the caravan, preferably to help them transport the goods back, and they were even willing to pay for it.

At the same time, he also implored the emperor to send some professionals to the Western Regions to impart their knowledge and experience, hoping that Qian Zhuang could open a branch in the Western Regions to facilitate future business transactions.

This is actually something that has been set a long time ago, but the Han Dynasty took the initiative to put it forward, and the meaning is different from the envoy's initiative.

Wang Bu was not hungry and did not hesitate, and generously agreed.

Although the configuration of a car is three people, in fact, three people plus other consumption, a car can not cost five hundred dollars.

This time, the Ministry of War selected and transferred a total of 15,000 people as the first batch of troops to enter the Western Regions, and more than 300 officials of all sizes were also dispatched from the Ministry of Officials, hundreds of experienced craftsmen were also dispatched from the Ministry of Industry, and more than 40 personnel from the Qianzhuang were dispatched from the Ministry of Households.

All in all, the cost of this trip does not need to be paid by the imperial court, and these freights alone are enough.

As for the premium, this is like a caravan of 15,000 troops, which unsightly mountain king dares to find trouble?

Kuntu, who was regarded as a big guy when he came, now seems to have been reduced to a spectator, and the entire court will have nothing to do with him at all, which also makes Kuntu feel depressed.

I don't know what's going on with the girl......

However, the next thing shocked Quint.

"Your Majesty, this is the Lingnan household register, the military register, and the topographical register, and the ministers have been living in Lingnan for decades, and finally lived up to their holy hopes and initially developed Lingnan!" Zhao Tuo stood in the center, holding two booklets in his hands.

Soon someone took the booklet and handed it to Wang Buxing.

And for those envoys from the Western Regions, they are absolutely confused.

They had heard of this place in Lingnan, but they had only heard of it after they came to Dahan.

But don't the people all say that more than ten years ago, there was a general of the Qin Dynasty who went to Lingnan with an army of 500,000?

And during the turbulent period at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Lingnan established himself as the king.

Why did this suddenly come out like this?

Doesn't this mean that Lingnan has surrendered?

Is this person in front of him the king of Lingnan?

It doesn't seem right, since he is the king of Lingnan, why do you say that he is not convinced by Shengwang?

The emperor arranged this more than ten years ago?

That's even more wrong, more than ten years ago, the emperor was still playing with mud, and the big guy who commanded 500,000 troops would care about him?

Wang Bu was hungry and pretended to open the basic booklet and looked at it, in fact, he already knew the content.

After a while, I put the booklet down in a hurry.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Zhao Tuo with satisfaction: "The general has been doing his best for the construction of Lingnan for more than ten years, and now it is only more than ten years, and the general has built Lingnan into such a scale, nine counties and forty counties, and more than one million people, which is a great achievement......

Zhao Tuo: ???

Emissary of the Western Regions: ???

Quint: ???

Nine counties and forty counties?

Did you hear that right?

Are you sure it's nine counties and forty counties?

Well, for some of the administrations of the Han Dynasty, Kuntu also knows something.

For the division of counties, it is generally necessary to look at two aspects, and one can be satisfied.

First, when the population reaches a certain level, it can be a county, for example, the county of the Central Plains generation is basically like this.

The second is that the population is not enough, but the place is too large, and the case is the border area of Nanjun and Jiuyuan County.

The so-called nine counties and forty counties in Lingnan are enough to show that the entire Lingnan is large enough to be able to divide the scale of nine counties, and forty counties have been established.

Now that Zhao Tuo has handed over power, then more counties will be set up in Lingnan next.

Of course, all this is Quint's guess.

Zhao Tuo is also very confused, where did the nine counties come from?

Where did the forty counties come from?

Where did the millions of people come from?

Of course, Wang Buyu would not tell Zhao Tuo that I divided the population by myself, and even some natives were counted......

However, this did not affect the progress of the process, and then, Zhongshu Ling Guan Ying stood up, took out a yellow silk cloth from his cuffs, and slowly opened the silk cloth in his hand in the face of Baiguan.

The matter of reciting the holy decree is generally done by the Zhongshu people under the Zhongshu Province, but who let this be a big court, and the Zhongshu order of the baby naturally has to take on this great responsibility.

"Under the door...... Feng Zhao Tuo Lingnan Marquis, thousands of acres of food ......"

The decree is very long, the format is also very cumbersome, and a large number of official signatures and names have to be read one by one, and ordinary people really can't enjoy this kind of treatment.

However, the core content of the entire holy decree is only two sentences, sealing the marquis and rewarding the food.

Zhao Tuo became the top marquis of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, and he did not explain Zhao Tuo's whereabouts in this holy decree.

However, everyone is not in a hurry, this is a reward decree for Zhao Tuo, not an edict of appointment.

The civil and military officials of the court actually have nothing to say about this matter.

If you have the ability to take advantage of the chaos to build a country outside, and then surrender, I am afraid that the treatment will be the same as theirs.

Now, Tian Dan is no longer lonely, and he has finally found a companion from the same background as him.

But Tian Dan is still lonely, after all, people are different from people.

At least Tian Dan knew that Zhao Tuo would leave soon, he was different from himself, different......

"Lingnan Hou has rich experience in governing the local area, so let's go to the Ministry of Officials as an envoy, first summarize the experience over the years, and wait for the arrangement of the imperial court!" Wang Buyu smiled and arranged, as calm as taking a sip of cold water.

"No!" Zhao Tuo responded directly.

However, other officials who are not at the same level are a little confused, what kind of official is this envoy? What level?

Does the ministry still have the position of envoy?

And most of the people who can stand here are smart people, even if they don't have enough understanding, at least they won't be stupid.

Some people quickly figured out what the position of this so-called envoy was, and why he was hanging under the officials.

Seeing that some friends still hadn't figured it out, someone pointed to the location of the Western Regions Mission, and the others instantly understood.

The emperor emphasized Zhao Tuo's rich experience in governing the region, and then arranged for the envoy to be strategic, doesn't this make it clear that he has taken a fancy to Zhao Tuo's experience in governing South Vietnam?

Coupled with the actions of the imperial court during this time, the answer is obviously easy to see, Zhao Tuo will be appointed as the envoy of the Western Regions next.

And considering that the Western Regions is such a big place, his power is undoubtedly huge, even greater than the power of the county guard.

At the same time, Quint's face suddenly turned pale.

He also thought of the intention behind Wang Buxing's deployment.

This is obviously aimed at Wusun, even if Wusun does not agree, they will directly march to the south of the Western Regions, and after taking root there, see what you do.

And 15,000 people should be the regular troops stationed in the southern part of the Western Regions, and after this group of people stabilizes and controls the situation, the Han Dynasty is likely to directly send the main force into the Western Regions, and use the southern part of the Western Regions as a base to launch a new round of attacks on the Xiongnu.

In Kuntu's self-reflection, the court meeting ended......
