Chapter 0334: The Great Han
When the caravan left the Western Regions, the envoys of the Kushan had just entered the Western Regions, and the two passed by, and even, the envoys also bought some items from the hands of these merchants at a high price, and the merchants met the Kushan people on the way, and they were a little surprised, but when they found that these Kushan people were very keen on their goods, they also became extremely enthusiastic about them.
Even the soldiers who accompanied them were very warmly entertained, so they stopped and stayed with the Kushans for two days before they left, and when the Kushans passed through the Western Regions, they began to observe this empire that was completely different from their own, and when they saw the nomads here, the cotton fields, they almost thought that they did not come out of the Kushan.
The difference between here and Guishan is really not big, after all, the founder of Guishan was driven away by the Xiongnu from here, therefore, Guishan still retains the traditional customs of the Western Regions in some aspects, coupled with the unique culture and religion of the conquered areas, it has become a very characteristic civilization empire of Guishan, and the Han Dynasty is compared with Guishan, in terms of population, the gap is huge.
In recent years, because of the unique geographical conditions of Liangzhou, it has become the center of foreign trade of the Han Dynasty, and the Han merchants gathered in Liangzhou, they did not have the qualifications of Yizhou merchants to go out to trade, but they could still trade with foreign merchants who came to the Han Dynasty, and under the various policies implemented by Zheng Xuan, Liangzhou became the most desirable area for the merchants.
When the Guishan envoys arrived in Liangzhou, they were stunned by the prosperous scene of Guzang County, before they came to Dahan, they also did a survey of Dahan, and knew that this is just one of the most remote areas of Dahan, even this remote area is like this, so the Central Plains, what kind of prosperity should be, they really dare not imagine, Zheng Xuan personally greeted them.
Gave them great respect, the envoys were arranged in Zheng Xuan's previous mansion, these envoys couldn't sit still, hoping to look around, Zheng Xuan did not restrict their outing, but sent soldiers to protect them, they first looked at the buildings in the city, and then looked at the cultivated crops, cultivated land, people, commerce, military, and so on.
They asked Zheng Xuan, can they write down the situation here, Zheng Xuan can't make a decision on his own, tell them, when they get to Luoyang, they can ask the Son of Heaven to see if the Son of Heaven allows, they can only temporarily dispel the idea of recording, after a few days, they rushed all the way to Chang'an through the gallop road, they have never seen such a spacious and flat avenue, they asked, how long is such an avenue?
The accompanying Liangzhou officials told them that the whole world is all over the world, and the total length is tens of thousands of miles.
The envoys frowned, thought for a moment, and then realized that such a gallop could circle Guishan several times!
After arriving in Chang'an, he rushed directly to Luoyang by water transportation.
Entering the Sili area, you can really feel the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the boats that come and go can even block the canal, get off the boat, there are people everywhere, countless cultivated land, cars and horses become dragons, the messengers see the scene here, open their mouths wide, and even ask, can they stay here and ask the Son of Heaven for a territory? The officials smiled and shook their heads, the big Han did not sell territory.
Along the way, they looked around, constantly asking about some new things, the officials got Zheng Xuan's instructions, in addition to some confidential matters, in the civil matter, they can be informed, therefore, the officials are also relieved to solve their doubts, the envoys rushed to Luoyang, there are already local officials to meet the alternation, the officials of Liangzhou and they said goodbye and left.
These Guishan people are still very enthusiastic, in the face of these officials who have accompanied them for a few days, they are also a little reluctant, and said that when they return, they want to be guests at their homes, these officials also smiled and agreed, after the officials of Luoyang received them, they obviously did not have the enthusiasm of the officials of Liangzhou, Liangzhou because of its long-term remote area, often despised by the Central Plains, called the land of barbarians.
Therefore, the officials of the barbarian land did not express any disdain for these foreign "barbarians", but Luoyang is different, this is the center of the world, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the officials here are particularly arrogant, and they still disdain the officials in the surrounding areas, not to mention these Kushan people, the Kushan envoy also felt the gap in this, and did not ask around.
Luoyang stands tall in front of you, this huge city that has been renovated and expanded year after year, the impact on the people of Guishan is huge, they stared at the round eyes, although their capital is also extremely tall and majestic, but it can only be compared with the county seat of Guzang County, in front of Luoyang, it can not be compared at all, this is also the difference between the two sides, Guishan is a nomadic starter, for architectural planning, there is no such effect as the Han Dynasty.
After entering Luoyang, you can appreciate the incomparably strong Han Empire, farmers, scholars, traders, scholars, and rangers who come and go in the city, there are nearly a million people living inside and outside the city, and the current population of the Kushan Empire is less than 10 million... This county seat has one-tenth of the population of the Kushan Empire.
The officials arranged them at the post station, the Son of Heaven did not greet them personally, these Kushan people did not feel any anger about this, they were born a little lazy and casual, they didn't care much about such things, just lived in the post station, less than an hour, they ran out, played around in the city of Luoyang, and the Yang Ling hurriedly sent soldiers to follow the guards.
At this time, it was already nearly May, and Xing Ziang returned to Luoyang.
The Son of Heaven convened a court meeting, since the last time he worshiped Yuan Feng as the Sikong, the Son of Heaven has not held a court meeting, the hundred officials gathered outside the palace, waited for a long time, and then walked into the hall together, the hundred officials sat in their respective positions, talking to each other, not long after, the Son of Heaven arrived, the hundred officials rose and worshipped, the Son of Heaven bowed back, and then frowned, solemnly asked: "Wangjun, can the princes play again?" ”
Well? What about the king talisman?
Wang Fu's position was empty, and the hundred officials only noticed at this moment, because Wang Fu was unsociable, he never chatted with them, they didn't notice that Situ didn't come to the court, the Son of Heaven frowned, and he was a little panicked, could it be that he was sick? He just sent away a great sage of the country, but he couldn't send another person away, he immediately looked at Song Dian who was standing at the back door waiting.
On weekdays, when it comes to notifying hundreds of officials to come to the court, Song Dian sent Huangmen to inform, what is the situation here in Wang Fu?
The hundred officials were stunned for a moment, and then grinned in ecstasy, although they didn't want to lose their temper in front of the Son of Heaven, they still couldn't suppress the joy on their faces.
They guessed with some joy: Wang Fu must have been killed by a righteous man on the way!
