With the pace of continuous outward expansion, the political center of the old clan was not set in Quwo, a relatively high-level territory that Zhao Gao had integrated, but chose Lingshou, the first city to conquer in the big plot world, and re-expanded.

In the past ten years, after the operation of Lao Ba and Mai Linglong, the outer city wall has long been demolished because it has no practical role and restricts the expansion of the city. Except for a part of the area dedicated to the life and trading of explorers, the rest of the place is gradually integrated with the grassland Gobi, and the Han-style buildings of wood and stone and the grassland tents are mixed with each other, forming a unique custom characteristic of the old people.

Of course, it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, but after more than ten years of development, various constructions followed by relatively abundant materials, and it is not much inferior to other famous places on the grassland.

This is actually the first time Zhao Gao has set foot here in these years, and the rest of the time when there is any major event, it is basically the eighth or Mai Linglong who goes to the outer circle to find him. Most of the three-person councils are also temporarily built on the stone platform of a certain arrow tower, and occasionally use the "golden platform" or "holy table" to complete large-scale convocations, so Zhao Gao can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar here, and at this time, accompanied by Mai Linglong, he slowly walked back from the outermost circle step by step.

"It's not easy to be eight." Zhao Gao watched as he walked, and finally sighed before entering the door. Ordinary people always think that it is the most difficult to expand outward, and then step by step with the pace of expansion to maximize the benefits of the territory that has been reached, it is also not simple.

Mak Linglong thought so.

The title of the eighth pioneer is the "natural king", which has been maximized in the grassland, and more importantly, he seems to have mastered the essence of it and brought the special effects to the extreme.

Not to mention anything else, the largest royal tent in the center of the city already has the courage of an ordinary king-type historical figure.

When Zhao Gao entered, the people who were in front of the throne were slowly retreating, while the old eight wearing the crown were sitting on the throne with his eyes closed, and his right hand was constantly rubbing his forehead gently.

This is almost the same as the strong and talkative old man in my impression.

"Title abilities evolved? Why didn't you say that? Mai Linglong looked at the people who had withdrawn and said thoughtfully.

"The evolution of the fart is not used, except for adding a lot of things." As soon as Lao Ba spoke, his original form was revealed, and the majestic momentum just now was gone, he sighed, pointed to a thick stack of documents in front of the stage and said, "The original territory was a trusteeship, anyway, appointing a lord is basically the same, and I can't control and don't want to take care of the rest." Fortunately, the brothers who came out of the Xuanjia Army can only serve as generals, and each territory has to set up a special Taishou to be responsible for all government affairs except military affairs. ”

"Taishou?" Mai Linglong asked curiously, and flipped through the documents on the table casually, most of them existed in the form of concerts, from the arrangement of the city structure personnel to the trivial matters of the lawsuit judgment, no wonder the old eight looked extremely tired with a sad face.

Zhao Gao suddenly had an understanding in his heart that the outside was in order. Lao Ba has been stimulated to his potential, although he is complaining in his mouth, but in actual action, he has implemented it exactly in detail, so that he can achieve such a scale and effect now.

"These Taishou are all plot characters generated by the plot world? Is it equivalent to an extra group of legal professionals in your vassals? Mai Linglong muttered, the evolution of the eighth child's pioneering ability is actually very good. If he didn't count the soldiers in the talisman, he could almost summon a large number of high-level followers to participate in the battle like Zhao Gao. Although the combat effectiveness at this level has not improved much, at least it looks majestic and bluffing.

The eighth suddenly turned into joy, his complaint just now was just arrogant, and he actually had a lot of thoughts in his heart to show off a few words to the two, but before he could speak, he heard Zhao Gao cut directly to the topic, looked around the environment and asked in a positive voice: "What about the messenger?" ”

"Arranged to stay at the pavilion outside." As he spoke, Lao Ba guided the two of them to sit down in the hall behind him - his building is very strange, the front half is made into a tent style, and the back is a Han-style building. It's just that compared to the previous one, this should be his living area, and few people can enter here.

He knew very well that Zhao Gao had not been able to take care of this at all over the years, and since he had temporarily stopped all the work in the outer circle at this time, it meant that the envoy this time was not trivial, far from the situations that he would be able to deal with in ordinary times.

This will be a key decision to determine the overall direction of the old clan in the future.

"Gerdan's envoy is Sanjack, a C-level historical figure who has ever been to Russia in history. His purpose was simple, to ask us to submit to Dzungaria, at least nominally, to pay tribute once a year, and to provide Geldan with food, grass and soldiers, otherwise we would meet in arms. ”

This passage is concise and to the point, and it should have omitted a lot of formal content, leaving only the core trunk. Zhao Gao nodded, this request was actually not beyond his expectations, leaving such a large area of uncontrollable area in the back of the vast grassland, if he was Geldan would not be able to sleep well, if it wasn't for the fact that the area was too far away and the environment was too harsh, coupled with the imminent threat of the Qing army, he would definitely choose to calm down this trouble first.

Moreover, at this time, as the largest clan on the grassland, he has the strength to really threaten the life and death of the old clan, and it is reasonable for him to have a tougher attitude and higher requirements.

"What about the Qing court?" Mai Linglong waited for Zhao Gao to think for a while, and then then asked.

Their relationship with the Qing court was special. At the beginning, the three of them killed the Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Jin State and got the special effect of a Jurchen mortal enemy, and the Qing called himself "Hou Jin", which was established by the Jurchens, and was definitely much worse than Geldan in the initial relationship.

"The envoy sent by Kangxi this time is Nalan Mingzhu, a famous 'kaleidoscope' in history, and this time he came to visit as the secretary of the Imperial Academy, and his attitude is very kind." The words of the eighth child are also incomprehensible. Nalan Mingzhu has a very high status in the Kangxi Dynasty, and has served as a high-ranking official such as a scholar of Wuyingdian University, the crown prince and the prince, and has played an important role in the three feudal clans, Zheng Jing, etc., even if Kangxi summoned the luck of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years at this time, there should be a place for him.

"What are his conditions?" Mai Linglong was a little curious, Nalan Mingzhu was able to come over to at least show two points: one is that the talents possessed by the imperial Qing court are far from being comparable to Geerdan, and the second is the old clan forces, which have been officially put into the eyes of these top forces.

"Attached, according to the story of the Mongolian foreign domain." In just a few words, the eighth child explained Kangxi's sincerity clearly.
