I imagined in my heart that wherever the Han army went, it was the land of the Han family.

Thinking of Li Yunze, who was guilty of the great Han Dynasty and would be punished even though he was far away, he couldn't help laughing.

What else can the master father do here, he can only laugh with him.

Now that the Son of Heaven has made a hands-off shopkeeper, he only has to take the direction of everything, and the specific operation requires him, the prime minister, to arrange it, which is very tiring.

However, for the master father who has realized his ideals and ambitions in life, this is painful and happy.

Believing that a great husband cannot be without power for a day, he is very satisfied with such painful and happy days.

However, Zhang Qian, another person from a vertical and horizontal family, was not so satisfied.

Because he served as an envoy to the country of Yelang, but it was very unsmooth.

Through the newly built avenue, all the way to the border of the country of Yelang, and then the mission had to abandon the carriage or something, and rush over the mountains and mountains.

The toss along the way really made Zhang Qian want to go to the Western Regions.

After all, the environment of the 100,000 mountains connected to the mountains is really desperate.

I finally entered the country of Yelang, and I also met the local people, but just the news of the arrival of the messenger of the Han Dynasty that passed on to the king of Yelang and the arrival of the Han Dynasty took nearly a month's effort.

This made Zhang Qian, who was accustomed to a city being a country in the Western Regions and seeing the king when he entered the city, very uncomfortable.

When he finally saw Yelangguo, Zhang Qian became even more angry.

The reason is very simple, when Zhang Qian handed over his credentials to King Yelang, indicating that he was the envoy of the Han Dynasty, King Yelang actually came to say something unbelievable in this era.

King Yelang asked Zhang Qian, "Who is older than me?" ”

"The king's words are ridiculous!"

Zhang Qian replied angrily, "The Han Dynasty is rich in the world, the whole world is not Han soil, and the shore of the land is not Han Chen!" If you wait for a small country with Yelang, you dare to ask who is the big one with the big Han? Overestimate one's strength or oneself! ”

The so-called Yelang country is a country founded by the Baipu people.

And the Baipu people, who even participated in the invasion of King Wu thousands of years ago, are not barbarians like Tunguska savages.

It's just that he has been oppressed by the Chu State for so many years, and he has been constantly migrating to the 100,000 mountains and established the Yelang Kingdom.

More than 100 years ago, in the Warring States Period, King Chu Xiang once sent the general Zhuang Yue to destroy the Yelang Kingdom and expand thousands of miles to the south.

It's just that later the First Emperor attacked Chu and cut off the return route of the Chu army to the south.

After that, those Chu armies established the Dian Kingdom, and the destroyed Yelang Kingdom also came back to life.

Seeing Zhang Qian's anger, King Yelang asked again, "This king has heard about Chu for a long time, but I don't know how the big Han is compared to Chu?" ”

These words really stunned Zhang Qian.

It's been almost a hundred years since Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and there are still people in this world who don't know about it?

He looked at King Yelang uncertainly, thought for a while, and said, "The state of Chu has long been destroyed by my great Han. ”

Hearing this, King Yelang was immediately moved, and his expression became respectful.

The reason is very simple, they Yelang Kingdom was destroyed by the Chu State a hundred years ago, of course they know about it.

Since the Han can destroy Chu, it is naturally a more powerful country than Chu, and it is naturally to be respected.

It's only then that both sides can really get down to business.

King Yelang asked, "What is the matter with the messenger coming to our country?" ”

Zhang Qian replied, "On the orders of the Son of Heaven, hold the letter of the country to the King of Yelang, and order the country of Yelang to return to the Han Dynasty." ”

For such things as surrender, King Yelang was not so resistant, and the people around him did not look indignant.

After all, they had been submissive to the Chu State a hundred years ago, and the chiefs in these places basically didn't have any strong obsessions, unlike the Central Plains, when it came to submission, they would go straight to the frying.

Seeing that Zhang Qian and his entourage were dressed luxuriously, holding iron tools, and carrying a lot of materials, this made Yelang Wang ask curiously, "The Han is so rich?" ”

"This is nature, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is rich all over the world."

"If this king submits to the Han Dynasty, how much benefit can he get?"

Zhang Qian, who asked this question, didn't know how to answer.

In desperation, he had to say, "If the king is interested, he should go to Chang'an, and he will naturally know." ”

Unexpectedly, King Yelang actually nodded his head, "Okay." ”

Zhang Qian felt that such a small country was not to be worried, the lord of a country listened to a few words from envoys from other countries, and really ran to Chang'an City, so ignorant What is there to worry about?

It would be great if those big and small lords of the Western Regions could fool so well.

Zhang Qian did not send Yelang King to Chang'an City, but asked his deputy envoy to send it.

As for himself, he continued to go south and went straight to the Dian Kingdom.

At such a moment when human resources are tight, Li Yunze still uses a lot of manpower and material resources to build a road to the south, and the only purpose is to open up the road to Shenzhi (India) from the south.

Maybe it's because the locals have darker skin and look like they're poisoned, so it's called body poison?

Emperor Wu in history did the same, and groups of messengers were sent by him into the deep mountains and old forests, and never came out again, and in the end they couldn't find the poison.

The most important reason is that I don't know its specific location and direction, and I don't know if the land is as good as the legend says.

But for Li Yunze, these are not problems, he knows everything.

Ten years later, Dahan's baby boom will usher in a mature period, and a large number of young men and women will grow up and urgently need living space.

Although the territory of the Han Dynasty is large enough to accommodate ten times the number of people, the problem is that there are not so many fields that can support the population.

The existing fields have long been divided, and the newly cultivated fields, in the absence of technology and hard work, are not as good as the ripe fields that have been cultivated for decades.

Therefore, after thousands of years of land development, it is the best choice.

As one of the four ancient civilizations, it has been continuously cultivating fields thousands of years ago, and the number of mature fields in the territory is even no less than that of the Han Dynasty.

After taking here, it will not be a problem to feed tens of millions of children of the Han family.

Zhang Qian's envoy to Yelang and Dian was to make preliminary preparations for the construction of the Great Road, as long as the Great Road could be built to the point of poisoning, then the matter would be easy to do.

As for the past, in terms of the level of technology and materials in this era, navigation is more about transporting goods, transporting people over long distances, and the loss during the journey is extremely terrible.

Zhang Qian continued south to the Dian Kingdom, while Yelang Wang went north out of the mountains on the border line and arrived at the construction site in full swing.

King Yelang dared to swear to his ancestors that he had never seen so many people gather together in his life.

Tens of thousands of people gathered to build roads, and they were literally digging mountains!

'Boom~~~'

The deafening thunderclap of a clear day made the Yelang King tremble with fright.

Halfway up a mountain in the distance, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose up, and stones, soil, grass and trees of different sizes poured down like a waterfall.

"This, this, this," King Yelang was frightened and saluted again and again, shouting, "The mountain god is angry~~~"

It's a pity that everyone around him didn't pay attention to him, and they were all busy with their own things.

Kaishan is Kaishan, but it is just a Kaishan that follows the mountain.

After all, the power of the black powder made by the alchemy of the monks is not good, and it can only be built according to the terrain of the winding road, and it is impossible to achieve the strong effect of the later generations, where I want to open it.

But even so, it shocked King Yelang to the point that it was overwhelming, and the spirit of the whole person changed dramatically, and everything in the face of the Han was with respect.

He spent several months, observing everything along the way, and finally came to Chang'an City.

When King Yelang arrived in Chang'an New Town, he almost knelt down.

Because he never imagined that there would be such a huge city in this world, with such a huge population, and such a prosperous place.

Before his emotions calmed down, he was taken to Weiyang Palace.

When he saw Weiyang Palace, King Yelang knelt directly.

Such a magnificent palace complex, like a heavenly fairyland, brought it indescribable strong stimulation.

When Xiao He built Weiyang Palace, the view of 'non-magnificent, imposing' was perfectly interpreted at this moment.

"The lord of the small barbarian country, the king of Yelang meets the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years~~~"

According to the words and actions taught by the people of Honglu Temple, King Yelang cautiously came to the Xuanshu Hall and bowed to Li Yunze.

As for calling themselves barbarians or something, this is handed down from the Chu State.

When the state of Chu destroyed the state of Sui, the king of the country said, 'I am not guilty, how can you kill me?' ’

And the response of the king of Chu was, 'I am a barbarian.' ’

Since then, the locals who call Chu Yue in the south and even more south are called barbarians.

It is the origin of the so-called Nanban.

Li Yunze, who was wearing a crown, couldn't see the face of King Yelang clearly because the beads covered him, so he said, "Come forward." ”

This was something that Honglu Temple had not taught before, and King Yelang subconsciously went to see Honglu Temple.

Honglu Siqing was very straightforward and decisive, and directly lowered his head to look at the ants on the floor, and only then did he realize that the ants on the Xuanshu Hall were really cute.

King Yelang was terrified.

He wanted to get up and walk over, but he didn't dare.

There was no one to help him, so in the end he could only walk on his knees and keep rubbing forward.

This scene really surprised everyone in the Xuan Room Palace.

There are many foreign barbarians who come to visit the Son of Heaven, but they are the first to do this.

After Xiang Yu defeated the main force of the Great Wall Army of Qin, he was terrified by Xiang Yu's terrible force, and when the princes met him, they also fell on their knees, which became a very strong stroke in the history books.

Li Yunze was also very satisfied, and motioned for King Yelang to get up and speak.

I didn't arrange a seat for him, this is because the seats in the Xuanshu Hall all have owners, and wanting to have a seat here is not a treatment that the lord of the barbarian country can have.

Li Yunze said a few gentle words, and then asked about the situation in Yelang Kingdom.

Including but not limited to population, geographical environment, culture, armament, etc.

King Yelang didn't know if he was lowered, or if he was shocked by the strength of the big man, so he said whatever he asked.

When the questioning was over, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction and asked the last sentence.

"Han or Yelang, which is bigger?"
