Calm.

The hall was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

No one seems to have raised objections.

To be more precise, it was the nobles who were bought off by the conditions offered by the imperial court.

3. No restrictions.

This is an impossible situation in the territory of Great Qin, which is close to the power of a feudal country.

They can't help but be unmoved.

"Ahem!"

And in the midst of the shock, Wang Shu, the chief of the Taiwei Mansion, stood up and said, "Although it is in the plan, the grand plan is perfect, but according to the situation mastered by the Taiwei Mansion. ”

"In Hexi, there is the Qiang tribe, which can be regarded as a barbarian force that dominates one side, and it is quite powerful, so the westward expansion will not be as optimistic as you think."

"And the power of the darts you have cannot form a force, and the intention of the imperial court is by no means to let the darts sacrifice in the land west of the river."

"Therefore, in the matter of westward expansion, the Taiwei Mansion will fully support you."

"There are two main things, one of which is that the imperial court, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, can ask for help from the Western Expeditionary Army whenever it encounters an enemy, and can ask for help from the Western Expeditionary Army if there is a shortage of ordnance, food and grass, and all those who ask for help from each other must find ways to help."

"Second, after the road to the west is clear, the imperial court will set up post stations along the way, in which there will be a hundred horsemen, set up a beacon tower, and move when the wind blows."

Thundered.

The nobles were shocked again.

One by one, I felt extremely shocked in my heart.

The Western Expeditionary Army, the New Army at any time, and even now what it looks like is unknown.

But how awe-inspiring is that the imperial court can ensure their safety in a foreign land with such an attitude.

This can be regarded as solving their worries.

At the very least, even if they fall in the Western Regions, they have a safe way out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is a conflict with the tribes of Hexi and the Western Regions, you can go to the Westward Foreign Affairs Division, and the Dianke Mansion will intervene with it in the name of the imperial court.

"The diplomacy of a great power is fundamentally different from your contact, and the panic avenue is being crushed, even if it is a tribal iron bucket in Hexi and the Western Regions, I believe that the Dianke Mansion will be torn apart, and it will give you a satisfactory result."

The Pawn Mansion ordered Yao Fang to follow confidently and said.

Today, it also means that the Pawn Mansion, which has gradually fallen silent since the domination of the world, will once again show his fangs in front of the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although it is a donkey policy, the land of the Western Regions of Hexi involves a lot, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to it." As soon as the prescription was finished, Shaofu ordered Zhang Shaogong to get up again and said:

"If you want to pass through Hexi, there are two places that must be remembered."

"Roads & Minerals."

"Among them, the matter of the road, presumably there is no need for the old man to re-mention it here, and the construction of the road has almost become a necessary road for you to travel."

"And Hexi, because of the heavy Gobi Desert, the construction of the Western Road to the edge of the desert stopped, but for the sake of westward expansion, Shaofu has sent capable generals to explore the desert, Gobi, must find a smooth road to Hexi."

"However, relying on the power of the imperial court alone, the strength is weak, so the old man hopes that if you go to Hexi, find a suitable way to enter the Western Regions to build a galloping road, and report it to Shaofu, the imperial court will build the western road to the place where you are, so that there is no hindrance."

"The court will certainly not forget your merits."

"As for minerals, the imperial court weighed left and right, and finally considered for you, if you find minerals in a foreign land, in addition to gold, silver and copper ore, you only need to report to Shaofu, and you can mine yourself."

"However, there is only one requirement of the imperial court, and I hope you must carry it out, that is, the harvest must be transported back to the country, as mentioned by the former prison state, all the harvest is a legal business, you can sell it freely, and no tariff will be charged on it before the tariff begins."

Zhang Shaogong said, many nobles have not been fully digested, Zhao Qia got up at the order of the Changfu Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of westward expansion can be ignored by the Fengchang Mansion. ”

"However, the old man must remind you that when you go out of the country and go to a foreign land, don't forget that you are a Qin person, let alone a human being."

"People are polite, but beasts are rude, and if you forget the etiquette, you are no different from beasts."

"Since it has been decided to go west, then Fengchangfu will not hinder it more, but if you want to enter the customs, you must accept the Fengchangfu Chen Li method, no matter what the old man looks like after leaving the customs, but when he enters the customs, he must be a kind people."

"You must abide by the Qin law, if you come back with a body of abuse, then don't blame the old man for being polite."

Nei Shi Teng also got up and said in a deep voice: "Let's make it clear first, so as not to find the court in the future, although this exotic land is a borderless land, but the land of the world and the endless territory are all owned by my Great Qin." ”

"Before the imperial court officially used troops in the Western Regions of Hexi, the imperial court did not care about the output of foreign regions, but this duke hopes that you will remember that as long as there is a suitable place to cultivate in the Western Regions, although you can operate it yourself, you must report it to the Department of Agriculture in detail."

"The Department of Agriculture will record the geographical records of Hexi in the Western Regions in detail, so as to facilitate the passage of Hexi in the future."

"In addition, the three types of gold, silver and bronze dances, donkeys, new crops, and other three types of items must be arranged by the imperial court."

】

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Si got up and said: "The Tingwei Mansion is solely responsible for checking and recording all those who violate the regulations of westward expansion, and if they are found, they will be dealt with seriously. ”

The nobles in the entire hall listened extremely carefully to the conversation of the three princes and nine kings.

This is not a consultation.

It's a requirement.

It was the rule that informed them of the westward march.

It is even more telling them that this is a unanimous decision of the court, not someone who launched it alone.

Opponents withdrew.

The imperial court is making the rules.

"There are three no restrictions, dare to ask the prison country, based on the territory, if we occupy a land, what can we do within the territory, does it include taxes?"

"No taxes shall be collected, for taxes are the power of the state, and as for what can be done, as long as it is not in the power of the state, it can be done."

"Is it possible to levy a man within the territory?"

"The right to pay taxes is all-encompassing, and the requisition of the people is forced labor, and it is not possible to do it."

"Prison country, this court has both five and nine ranks, and these barbarians are all barbarians, so is it also saying that we can capture foreign barbarians and sell them?"

"The law does not prohibit anything, the imperial court only recognizes my Qin people as people, and non-Qin people are all yi, and the imperial court does not restrict this."

"Prison country, why do you want to prohibit the trading of gold, silver and copper, gold is used for the trading of all things, if it is forbidden, it is inconvenient to trade."

"Gold, silver and copper are all used for the currency of my Great Qin, the imperial court will hoard gold, silver and copper in countless quantities to regulate the world, only shortage, not much, you can rest assured, as long as there is gold, silver and copper, you can exchange with the imperial court for currency that can be used in my Great Qin."

"Jianguo, if my Dong family discovers copper mines in Hexi, or other such as coal mines, gold mines, jade mines, wood mines, etc., what should I do?"

"They can all be mined by themselves, but if it is gold, silver and copper mines, the mined Shaofu will intervene, but if it is a coal mine, jade mine, or wood mine, it can be disposed of by itself, but the suggestion of the imperial court is also to transport it back to the territory of my Great Qin, even if it is hoarding, it is not unavoidable."

"Jianguo, if you find a donkey in the Western Regions and transport it back to my Great Qin, can you sell it yourself, or will it be purchased by the imperial court?"

"The imperial court's acquisition is only a temporary policy, and as for when it will end, the imperial court has its own decision."

"Prison country, what the foreign ministers are worried about is what the Changfu is doing, after all, it is my Qin people who have made a trip to Daqin, this Chen etiquette is inappropriate."

"A foreign land is a land of lawlessness, and even if a humble gentleman goes, he will let himself go, and do what he does in the ordinary government, just to correct his thoughts, restrain his behavior, and make him obey the laws of etiquette."

"What if a heinous crime is committed outside the territory?"

"The reason why people can't is because they are in different environments, and they are bound by rules, and they can restrain their body and mind."

……

The discussion of westward expansion was originally a question and answer meeting, but the participants were nobles from all walks of life.

Objective.

It is to let all dart companies understand the specific rules of action for westward expansion.

As for what will become of the westward expansion, it really doesn't matter.

Gradually, the chatter in the hall gradually became quieter.

The questions of the nobles gradually dried up, and they really couldn't think of what to ask about the specific content of the westward expansion.

There is no room for them to ignore it.

It can be said that they have put a lot of money on the westward expansion, but it is not as simple as forming a dart company and recruiting 3,000 warriors.

The manpower and material resources invested in it are not understandable to ordinary people.

And with the voice of the question softened.

The first westward expansion was also coming to an end.

Basically, under the attention of the imperial court, there is no trouble that cannot be solved.

But.

Although the discussion is over.

But the nobles in the main hall did not leave.

This is when the real gathering begins.

The palace music house, which is not in the Three Princes and Nine Qing Mansions, is a regular palace music team.

Gathered musicians from all over the world.

Although the Great Music Division has drawn a lot of musicians, so that the palace music house has a small number of people, but the palace music house still has a large number of musicians.

Concluding the meeting.

The front hall of the Dalu Mansion resounded with bursts of melodious music.

Daqin's unique chimes rang like the sound of heaven.

Among them, the charm should be the best sound.

And in the center of the main hall, a moon dance troupe slowly entered the red carpet barefoot.

Didn't bare himself.

A long group of champions in all directions.

It's like a blooming petal.

With the magnificent sound of one hundred and eight chimes, flowers bloom one by one.

From time to time, the branches twist and turn, making the whole flower extremely graceful.

"Prison Country!" Wang Fu gently arched his hand unhurriedly.

But it was Yingcheng's side, followed by Feng Quji and Li Si, and walked in front of Wang Fu, the patriarch of the Wang clan.

"Elder Wang was able to come to the west to discuss the matter, which can be said to make this meeting a lot more solemn and solemn!"

If Yingcheng praises him, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

But he was not wrong.

Although Wang Fu is not the patriarch of the Wang clan, he has been the patriarch of the Wang clan for decades, and his prestige among many nobles is very high.

Especially.

Don't look at the patriarchs who open and shut their mouths above the main hall.

But actually.

There are really few noble chiefs who really have the position of the patriarch of the family.

They are all clan elders who hold real power among the nobles and are trusted by the patriarch.

"It is only natural for us to respond positively to the call of the prison country." Wang Fu also replied politely.

Talking is even more watertight.

In an instant, this becomes mutual appreciation.

"Congratulations to the Wang family for being able to make a lot of money in a foreign land this time!" Yingcheng is not polite, nor is it a joke, but continues to praise without hesitation.

"The Wang family also wishes that the prison and the national plan will be safe and prosperous, and I also wish the imperial court to have a good way, so that I can expand the territory and pass through the Western Regions." Wang Fu also praised it.

It seems that at this moment, Great Qin has pacified the Western Regions, Great Qin has been peaceful in the world, and the country and the people are safe.

Of course.

Praise is praise, and if praise does not have a good vision, then where is praise.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Yingcheng raised his glass and joked: "At that time, we still need the Wang family to take more care of the westward dart line." ”

It's a joke though.

But it's also a requirement.

The other nobles were not like the Wang family, who made 4,000 people go west.

The strength of Wang's westward march was no less than that of a school army.

And as a top noble, he should also have such a responsibility.

"That's natural, out of the border, they are all brothers in the same room, and they should help each other." Wang Fu also politely replied.

As for how to do it.

It just depends on the situation.

"I've seen the prison country." As he spoke, the elder of the Meng clan slowly approached.

He listened from the side, and when he saw that the politeness was almost over, he came closer.

"I've seen Meng Lao!" Yingcheng was naturally polite, and turned sideways to face the old man of the Meng clan and raised his glass.

Of course.

When the glass reached his lips, he only took a sip, and then the attendant continued to add wine to it.

You can't get drunk.

It means.

But.

Whether it is Wang Fu or the old Meng clan, they are all bored.

"The prison country is really eloquent, and the foreign minister seems to have seen His Majesty when he was young, and he is also so amazing to the world." Just now he heard how Wang Fu praised Yingcheng throughout the whole process, and this time, he naturally wanted to praise him in a different way.

And this world.

There is nothing more magnificent than that of His Majesty the First Emperor.

"Thank you Meng Lao Meizan, compared to Your Majesty, I am still far behind." Yingcheng smiled and said: "However, Meng Lao's demeanor has not diminished back then, I have long heard that Meng Lao was also a well-educated person who has experienced all directions. ”

"Hahaha!" The old man of the Meng clan smiled heartily: "Prison country, please!" ”

said.

Although the elder of the Meng clan was already seventy or eighty years old, he still smothered the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Yingcheng gestured slightly, and in the middle of moving, he came to the front of Sanchuan Shen's Shen Leopard, and said with a smile: "Shen Lao still has doubts about the westward expansion!" ”

"Where, where!" Shen Bao hurriedly said: "The prison country has already explained so clearly, if the foreign minister still has doubts, wouldn't it be too uninteresting." ”

"It's great if you don't have it, the matter of going west, I will bother the Shen family to have a lot of help, and when I go abroad, I am the people of Daqin, regardless of you and me." Yingcheng said with a surging smile.

"Hahaha, that's nature, that's nature." Shen Bao replied with a smile.

Admittedly, it looks like hob meat.

Compared with the Wang family, the Mengshi family, which is in Guanzhong, is quite jealous of the imperial court.

On the contrary, it is Wei Shi, who is relatively much easier to obtain.
