Jiuyuan County, which is the Baotou of later generations, is now here, Zhao Xing has built a large number of factories such as coal mines and steel plants. To be honest, this is already the real industrial center of the Tang Dynasty, and its products are supplied to the entire Central Plains princes, but because of the war, there has been a serious shortage of labor, and there has been a serious shortage of work.

And in addition to these factories, everywhere is a wasteland wilderness, covered with forests. The river in the south is vast and the soup is hot, the Yinshan mountain range runs through it, the plateau in the west is densely forested, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and the loess plateau is deep and deep, showing the majesty of hundreds of millions of years. The most important thing is that he is like a sharp sword, just cutting off the entire Mongolian plateau, if the British population of 2 million, who also belong to the Central Plains bloodline, is placed here, it is equivalent to dividing the Mongolian steppe, which is now Lou Fu, into two, and it is impossible to unite and unify.

Yingbu was very attentive, and accompanied by Zhao Huang of the Ministry of Rites, he traveled almost all over the mountains and mountains and desert grasslands of Jiuyuan County. He also carried a shovel and dug like a mole on the Loess Plateau, which was still a flood and barrenness. Dig down, it is the fat and oily loess, dig down, more than one person deep, it is still loess. So, Yingbu wept bitterly while digging. In the end, Zhao Huang had to drag him out, otherwise, there would be a well here.

Yingbu, who couldn't live or die, turned his face up, raised his head, and yelled at Zhao Xing, who hurriedly came to stop him from digging the well: "Tang Hou, are you really willing to hand over this fertile land to us to cultivate for generations?" ”

Zhao Xing grabbed a handful of soil, carefully loaded it with a dingsheng, personally took Yingbra out, and said to this ding: "This is the Jiuyuan Ding that I cast specifically for you and your partners, and the inscription I cast on it promises to hand over the Jiuyuan to your Ying clan and inherit it from generation to generation." Looking at Yingbu, who stumbled up and hugged this ding, Zhao Xing told him: "But we have to have an agreement?" That is? In any case, the forest here should not be cut down for generations? Chop one? You have to plant one. "Such an agreement is that Zhao Xing doesn't want to end up with the development of human beings to end up with the fertile land here? It became a desolate loess wasteland for later generations.

Yingbu is gone, is he going back with the big tripod containing the Jiuyuan loess? He promised? Even if the king is unwilling to migrate, he has to let his own people come over, and then he will accompany the king alone to wait for the fate of destroying the country.

"Another loyal minister, a loyal minister who knows how to be flexible."

Most of the loyal ministers have a sad end? The reason for this result? It's because loyal ministers don't change. When Zhao Xing said this, he was actually admonishing Xu Jie in disguise.

Xu Jie accepted it with deep understanding.

The mood of anticipation is the most unbearable, and the heart is as uncomfortable as if there are countless kittens scratching the heart.

Yingbu left, and there was no news for more than half a year, which made Zhao Xing's heart turn anxious.

Until one day? The officials guarding the city gate ran in and shouted: "Your Excellency? The British monarch led a group of courtiers to meet outside the capital gate.

Zhao Xing was stunned for a long time? Ran out with a fierce howl, but when he ran to the gate of his palace? Another turn and run back? Running and running? Another turn and ran up the hall. As a result, the hall was empty, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty were busy, so they didn't have time to always gather in the hall to chat.

Zhao Xing ran out, running like a dog before he remembered that he had a lot of subordinates, why did he run around by himself.

"Come on, come on, hurry up and call all the ministers of the Tang Dynasty over, by the way, let them dress up in court clothes, hurry, hurry." Then he stood anxiously in front of the main hall and waited, then began to walk in circles, then sprinted, and then began to trot again.

The British monarch Ji Min is a middle-aged man, but his hair is as white as snow, and his body is thin and rickety, just like an old man in his last years.

He anxiously stretched his neck and looked uneasily at the Tang Capital.

According to the Zhou rites, the monarch of another country to another vassal state cannot enter without the permission of the king of that country, which is why so many alliances have chosen to build altars at the junction of the two countries or other places.

For a long time, the sun was slanting in the west, and there was no movement in the city, and finally the hungry Ji Min glanced at Yingbu in disappointment: "Let's go." ”

Yingbu was very disappointed, and finally could only sigh, he thought that Tang Hou had broken his promise, so he personally drove the king's ox cart to prepare to go back, and Britain could no longer afford to buy a horse for the king to drive the chariot.

Just when the monarch and the ministers were disappointed, Zhou Li Yale suddenly sounded in the Tang capital, which was the most solemn music to welcome the princes.

The monarch paused and looked again.

I saw that the gate of the Tang capital was opened, the flags and ribbons were overwhelming, and a group of mighty people were walking out of the city, the crown of the first was brilliant, and Yingbu yelled excitedly: "The monarch, the monarch, the first is Tang Hou, and it is Tang Hou who personally welcomes the monarch on foot." ”

Ji Min was stunned for a long time, and Yingbu had to urge: "Your Majesty, we should meet on foot." ”

Ji Min woke up at this time, stood up tremblingly, straightened his clothes, got out of the car, and greeted Zhao Xing tremblingly with Yingbu's support.

Give Zhao Xing a salute first, this is not a surrender salute, it is the level of the title.

Zhao Xing accepted the earl's gift to the marquis, and then hurriedly returned the gift to Ji Min with sincere fear, which was the host's gift to the distinguished guest, and he apologized for his slow treatment again and again.

Then, at the gate of the city, he introduced his courtiers to Ji Min, starting from the introduction of Loudi Yin, and after a meal, the bureaucratic team of two hundred people, Zhao Xing, who introduced him, was dizzy and had a dry mouth, but he was not tired of it.

Looking at Zhao Xing's luxurious and huge, but orderly team of officials, Ji Min sighed: "It's really a big country, it's really a collection of talented people, and I really can't compare with the UK." ”

Zhao Xing saw that Ji Min was weak, so he asked Ji Min to sit in the car, and then he sat side by side with Ji Min. Loudi happily became a coachman, and other officials walked in a crowd.

As soon as he entered the Tang Capital, Ji Min's eyes were not enough, but he saw that the streets of the Tang Capital were wide and straight, and the pavement was all paved with bluestone, which was spotless, not to mention the livestock feces on the roads of other cities, and there was no garbage and dirty water. The willows on both sides of the truth are green and yin, dancing in the summer.

Behind the tree, there are all kinds of dazzling goods, many of which Ji Min has never seen, and the pedestrians are kneeling down on the side of the road to greet them, all with ruddy faces and bright clothes.

And a team of silver-armored warriors stood tall and full of vigilance.

It is really a scene of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

However, when the convoy came to the palace of the Tang Dynasty, Ji Min was shocked and sighed, because in addition to the huge and wide square, the entire palace was small and simple, and it was not as good as the houses of some large families along the street.

But although it is small and simple, it has a sense of grandeur and grandeur that I don't know why.

Supported by Zhao Xing, he walked into the hall tremblingly, sat down according to the rules, and after greeting each other, the British monarch Ji Min asked solemnly: "Last time, Tang Hou promised the land of the Nine Plains, can you take it seriously?" ”

Zhao Xing nodded solemnly: "I can't help the British, but how can I watch the loyal ministers of the Son of Heaven destroy the country, so I am willing to move the British princes and people into the Tang Kingdom." Then he paused: "But it's not Britain, but the Jiuyuan where you and your subjects are placed in the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, if Britain moves into Jiuyuan, Britain no longer exists." ”

This point, Ji Min has already discussed with his courtiers, everyone has such psychological preparations, in fact, as long as everyone can still live together, as long as they can still worship their ancestors, Ji Min and his subjects are already quite satisfied.

Ji Min calmly accepted Zhao Xing's proposal and continued to ask, "Can Tang Hou continue to let me manage my subjects as you promised?" ”

Ji Min is so premature and decrepit, in fact, it is the result of worrying about the fate of Britain day and night, so the British people love their monarch very much. This condition is actually the voice of all the British people. They swore that as long as Zhao Xing did not agree to this condition, they would rather fight with Qin Chu of the tiger wolf to the last man.

Zhao Xing nodded solemnly: "You and your subjects moved to Jiuyuan, and you practiced a high degree of autonomy, that is, except for diplomacy and the army, everything was carried out according to your original system, but you can only be called a county guard." But your county guards can be hereditary, and you can manage them as you like, and I won't interfere. Except for the factory I established in Jiuyuan, you can keep eighty percent of your taxes, and you only need to pay twenty percent. Well, this is just a symbol, and I'm not going to check your account. "The meaning is very clear, that is, you are a country without a country, which is equivalent to the feudal monarch of the Tang Dynasty. But the feudal lords of the Tang Dynasty have no actual fiefdoms, and you are an exception.

"Thank you Tang Hou for your generosity, but what if I want to be an official in the court?" Ji Min suddenly made this request.

In Ji Min's opinion, since he wants to move the country into the Tang Dynasty, he should simply show the most sincere attachment, otherwise he will be guarded by Tang Hou, which is not good. It's better to simply be an official in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is to be a hostage for the British people.
