"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen will be smeared with liver and brains to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

Emperor Chen bowed solemnly, a trace of tears flashed faintly in the corners of his eyes, this feeling of being valued is really too precious.

From now on, the road of emperor dust will open the sea and sky.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Don't forget, we are all descendants of Huaxia and a family. ”

"Yes, family!"

Di Chen's expression was emotional, at this moment, he completely let go of his knot and completely integrated with the new character.

The two former sworn enemies looked at each other and smiled.

…………

Autumn and October are the harvest season.

Ouyang Shuo is most concerned about the situation of the Beiyuan, Xijiang, Xikang and the four major construction corps in Australia.

After nearly a year of hard work, the four major construction corps have reclaimed nearly 10 million mu of farmland, forest farms, or pastures, and semi-militarized farms have sprung up one after another, bringing vitality to the desolate border.

The newly built granary is gradually becoming abundant.

At the same time, taking advantage of the rich mineral resources of the Western Regions, the Privy Council set up a number of arsenals nearby, and a large number of weapons and equipment were produced on the assembly line to prepare for the big war in the coming year.

The frontier, which had been silent for nearly a year, had the conditions for another war.

In view of this, Ouyang Shuo asked Honglu Temple to come forward and issue an ultimatum to the Persian Empire, restricting the Persian Empire to hand over the Wokotai Department by the end of Gaia's eighth year.

Otherwise, there will be only soldiers to meet!

Ouyang Shuo's rhetoric was very strong, and he also had the determination to fight a war, and he wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on the Persian Empire, in order to make strategic preparations for the Persian Gulf oil fields.

For the Persian Empire, a rather threatening neighbor, Ouyang Shuo had to suppress it no matter what.

…………

Persian Empire, Tehran City.

Receiving the ultimatum from Bactria made the Persian king feel very embarrassed, although he knew that this day would always come, but when it really came to such a time, it was really difficult to decide.

The expulsion of the Okotai can be exchanged for a short period of peace.

If the Ogedai Department is not expelled, it is possible that as soon as the spring of next year begins, war will befall the Persian Empire.

Like Bactria and taking advantage of the rare period of peace, the Persian Empire was at full speed on the road to industrialization.

Some of the firearms of the Allies in Europe were exported by the Persian Empire.

Once there is a bad relationship with Great Xia and a war breaks out, such a rare situation will inevitably be broken, and the industrialization that has been developed with great difficulty will slow down or even stagnate.

This was difficult for the king of Persia to accept.

The problem is that if the Ögedai Department is handed over like this, it will be a great shame for the Persian Empire, and the imperial military is afraid that it will be difficult to accept and hit the morale of the army.

"You have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

The king of Persia muttered to himself, his eyes shining with wisdom.

…………

Capital.

In October, the largest government dismantling operation launched by the Great Xia Imperial Court since the beginning of spring finally came to an end, and all provinces completed the adjustment of the three-level institutions.

The turbulent local situation began to stabilize and burst into greater energy.

The construction of the eight logistics support centers by the Privy Council War Readiness Administration is also nearing completion, and around the central headquarters, a number of cities have quietly risen and become important military industrial towns.

At the moment when the logistics support center was built, half of the war labor of the people of the empire was directly relieved.

After the expansion, the Martial Arts Division has also been rapidly operational, with tentacles throughout all provinces, implementing full-coverage supervision and guidance for all military personnel within the empire.

The most obvious effect is that the crime rate of the empire has plummeted by 20%.

All in all, the grand strategy formulated by the imperial court a few years ago is being completed one by one.

For Great Xia, the eighth year of Gaia was a bumper harvest year, although it was not very obvious, the overall national strength reached a new level, which was impressive.

On October 20, the first power plant in Daxia was completed in the western suburbs of Beijing and officially put into use.

This is of cross-era significance to Great Xia.

Ouyang Shuo even personally attended the electrification ceremony and lit the first street lamp in the royal city.

The electric age has quietly arrived.

For players like Ouyang Shuo, this situation is both familiar and unfamiliar.

In the real world, incandescent light bulbs have long been eliminated and appeared in the game world, in this world where martial arts and technology coexist, it is a little bizarre.

Ouyang Shuo thought of an adjective called the "steampunk" era.

A fantasy age with both modern technology and mysterious powers.

This should be the best time for players, who can enjoy the convenience of modern technology and go further and further on the path of individual evolution.

People and technology, in harmony.

Rather than as in reality, as technology advances, humanity itself is degrading.

Ouyang Shuo likes this era.

…………

November 1st, Jingshi.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the first games of the empire were grandly opened.

Ouyang Shuo attended the opening ceremony and delivered an enthusiastic speech, proposing for the first time the initiative of national fitness, and incorporating people's health into the highest decision-making plan of the empire.

After that, the Royal Drama Troupe, the Royal Art Troupe and other top literary and artistic groups of the empire presented a wonderful opening ceremony performance for tens of thousands of audiences.

The essence of Chinese culture is vividly expressed.

In the next half month, the capital will fall into a carnival because of this grand event, and thousands of athletes will shed their blood for the championship.

The first records of the empire will be born and will go down in history.

Outside of the Great Summer, due to the approaching cold winter, the global chaos war has entered a rare period of recuperation, and the battlefields everywhere have gradually become silent.

Both warring sides are seizing the precious period of recuperation to recharge their batteries and replenish their food and grass supplies. Like the Germanic dynasty, they also took advantage of the winter to recruit troops again.

The current calm is only a prelude to another big outbreak.

Ouyang Shuo predicted that in the ninth year of Gaia, war will still be a global theme, and only when this wave of wars ends and the global pattern ushers in a new situation can it be possible to exchange for peace.

A brief peace.

With Gaia's intentions, there is no real peace in the game world, unless there is a super empire that dominates the world.

But it's hard!

Even if he is as confident as Ouyang Shuo, he doesn't think that Daxia has this strength.

In the last week before winter, the Pacific trade rules, initiated by Great Xia, were finally echoed by the Dawson Dynasty, the Night Empire, and the Indian Empire.

This is the beginning of the Quartet talks.

In the coming months, the Quartet delegations will hold rounds of consultations on specific agreements. The reason why it took so long was also because of the mistrust of the Quartet.

It was destined to be a bumpy road to negotiations.

Emperor Chen was appointed by Ouyang Shuo as the head of the Great Xia negotiation team, with full responsibility for this matter.

From this moment on, Emperor Chen was truly accepted by Great Xia.
