Wushu said to Wang Yangming: "You don't need to carry any belongings, we are going out on a tour on the orders of His Majesty this time, and there will be people everywhere we go." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wang Yangming said in his heart that the king was willing to pay the capital, and the group got on the horse and walked forward, Wang Yangming asked Wushu: "I don't know where we are going this time?"

Wushu said: "There are nearly 100 large and small cities in our country, let's choose ten of them to visit, these ten cities are all over our country, we will take three months to go down this trip." ”

Wang Yangming exclaimed: "Three months? If Mr. Zhang Qian and the others have already completed the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and we are still traveling outside, will we delay the right business?"

Wushu laughed and said, "Captain Wang, don't worry. I have inquired with the brothers in Honglu Temple, the establishment of diplomatic relations and alliances between the two countries are large and small, and everyone is busy at the moment, I think it would be good to be able to do it in half a year, let alone three months. ”

Wang Yangming sighed, thinking that it had been half a year since he and his party came out of Jiayuguan, and he thought that he could go back early after the mission in Khorezm, and he didn't want to delay so long in Khorezm, so he didn't know when he would be able to return to Jiayuguan.

Wushu said: "In addition to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, our king also wants to take the opportunity of friendship with Xia to focus on a major reform in the country. This will take a little longer, and the king intends that when the two countries issue a communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and at the same time announce the reform measures in our country, there will be more work to be done, so I dare to assert that these things will not be completed in half a year. ”

Wang Yangming took care and asked, "I don't know what kind of big moves your country is going to make?" If it is convenient for the general to say it, he will say it, and if it is inconvenient, I will not ask. After all, he thought that this was someone's internal affair, and it was inconvenient for his own people to ask too much.

Wushu said: "What did Captain Wang say?" Our two countries are now about to become brothers, and we have something to hide from you. In fact, the king has been planning for this for a long time, but he has never found the right time, and now the king feels that the time is about to be ripe, so he is determined to carry it out. This matter is about to be announced to the world, and there is nothing to keep secret. ”

Wushu told Wang Yang in detail, Wang Yangming knew that the original state government of Khorezm was very different from that of Great Xia, which was a centralized system, with great power in the center, and local provinces set up provinces, except for a small amount of power, as soon as the tax, population, land and other lifelines were in the hands of the central government, not to mention the army, several border guards were firmly controlled in the hands of the military department, and they were not allowed to move without permission. The emperor is the supreme in the world, holding all the power in his own hands, but it is difficult for the emperor to take care of everything, so he has six departments to govern the corresponding affairs, but the six books are appointed by the emperor.

After Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, he was worried about the division of power between the prime minister, so the position of prime minister was also cancelled. As for the army, although there is the post of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, it has always been set up and not awarded, so it is equivalent to nothing.

Khorezm is a federal state, the king is the head of the federal government, but the whole country is not monolithic, but composed of more than a dozen large and small states, the head of the state is called the princes, each in charge of taxes, land, population, but the princes must obey the king's orders, in case of war, the army must be mobilized according to the king's orders. If one of the princes is disobedient, the king may gather the other princes to fight against the rebels.

This king is a hardliner, he has long been dissatisfied with the system handed down by his ancestors, this time he met Zhang Qian and other envoys of Great Xia, learned about the political system of the Xia Dynasty from him, and finally decided to promote the reform of the political system of Khorezm, to turn the federal state into a county system like Bactria County. The reason why the original conditions for reform are not ripe is because the princes are in charge of the army, and the king does not have enough strength to make the princes obediently give up the power in their hands, but in recent years, Khorezm and Shule are at war, and the princes are ordered by the king to send troops to participate in the war, these troops are very seriously consumed, and the strength in the hands of the princes has been greatly weakened, and the king has used a lot of money to buy the senior generals under the princes, these generals have been directly loyal to the king, and the newly recruited soldiers have followed these generals to become the king's military horsesTherefore, if the king put forward a proposal for reform at this time, the princes could only obediently obey and never dare to resist again.

After the completion of the reform, the princes of all walks of life still serve as the supreme governors of the province, but the power is not as great as before, but the wealth is more generous than before, so that they can be a prince of peace with peace of mind and enjoy the blessings. In this way, the pressure of reform is much less, these princes are also aware of the current affairs, know that the county system is the trend of the times, even if they rise up to fight back, they will only be moths to the fire in the future, it is better to listen to the king's words, live a peaceful life honestly, and do not mistake their own lives because of the heart of power.

After listening to the introduction of Wushu, Wang Yangming said in his heart, this king's heart of power is very heavy, in the future, Daxia and Khorezm will jointly start a war, if the expected strategic goals can really be achieved, the two countries will divide the land of the fifteen countries in the Western Regions, and then whether this king can stop in moderation and live in peace with Daxia is still unknown. Perhaps at that time, this person will have to look forward to Shu and throw his ambitions into the land of Great Xia, when the war breaks out between these two superpowers that are the only two superpowers in the East and Shenzhou, it will be a great war that has never been seen in ancient and modern times. Although all this is still on paper at the moment, he has to guard against it, and he decided to explain the matter to Zhang Qian after he goes back, so that he can pay attention to it earlier.

Wushu accompanied Wang Yangming and others all the way out of the capital and headed for Istanbul. Wushu explained to Wang Yangming that Istanbul was originally the former capital, and later the king moved the capital to the current capital, transferring the political center function of Istanbul, but did not give up the operation of Istanbul, this city is now the largest city in Khorezm, and it is also the most important economic center and logistics center.

A few people walked slowly, it took two days to arrive in Istanbul, Wang Yangming accompanied by Wushu into the city to take a look, see the city bustling, people come and go, the sound of selling one after another, it is really prosperous in the world, compared to the two capitals of Daxia Chang'an and Luoyang, but also better.

A few people were wandering around the city, and when the merchants saw that these people were wearing official uniforms and were guarded by soldiers, they thought that they were the big officials sent from above, and they all took the initiative to avoid them. Wang Yangming saw those people hurrying with a thin paper book in their hands or in their arms, and occasionally glanced at them twice, and asked Wushu: "I see that these people are holding a booklet in their hands, I don't know what this thing is, but is it a popular literary work here?"
