"Hahaha, the Celestial Empire is worthy of being the Celestial Empire, and the wine and meat here are much more delicious than the wine and meat in our realm."

In the palace of the former King Wusun, the lords of the Western Regions were pushing cups and changing lamps.

The yellowish, clear liquor was poured from the hands of the jeweled ladies into the crystal clear glasses of the lords' seats.

Compared to the steppe.

The nobles of this part of the Western Regions are more fond of rice wine and wine, which have a soft taste.

Fortunately, in the middle of winter, the things that the Liaodi side supported were completely enough to deal with this kind of scene.

Glass ornaments, gold and silver utensils, salt, sugar and spices are all available.

As long as the two armies of the dragoon game arranges some cooks in the cooking class, they can make these lords of beauty unbounded.

This time they were 'invited' to come, and these lords of the Western Regions also complied with the rules set by Hu Shui and them last year, and they all brought their respective queens and eldest sons.

Of course, they don't have any worries about how much of this is true and how much is fake.

As long as you come, it will be true from now on.

Because this is the eldest son of the kings and queens of the Western Regions recognized by Liaodi, if necessary, the Liaodi army will also clear the country for these kings' eldest sons.

"This drinking utensils are really peerless, this luster, it really makes people linger."

Drinking wine and eating meat, there were many expressions of praise and love for the glass among the lords of the country during the banquet.

Some of the people who have personal friends even joke with each other.

"Lords, if the Celestial Empire is willing to give us this thing, then what should we do?"

"Hahaha, if you really want to give it to this king, of course this king will take it, this kind of treasure, this king is still the first time to see it, how big a crystal can be carved out of such a cup."

"Hahaha, in reason, in the Western Regions, I am not strong in the first place, if the Celestial Dynasty really has the heart to let this king call him a minister and pay tribute, this king really can't think of a reason to refuse."

"You don't know, I'm close to the land of the Celestial Empire, and I've heard some news faster."

"Over the years, the traces of the Xiongnu have gradually dissipated, and as far as this king knows, they have been exterminated."

The words of the Exquisite Lord of the Kingdom made the originally lively atmosphere in the banquet cool down.

The fate of the Xiongnu, the lords of the country present more or less also have some understanding.

Just a few years ago, except for the westernmost countries in the Western Regions, which were a little out of reach of the Xiongnu because of the distance, the other countries had to make offerings to the Xiongnu every year.

In the past few years, it seems that overnight, the once commanding king of the grassland has disappeared without half a trace, and the few kings left in the Western Regions have gradually disappeared.

A Usun.

A Huns.

Originally, after a feast, the lords of the country who were in a slightly happier mood became complicated again.

Can they deal with the forces of Wusun, or even the Xiongnu who are stronger than Wusun, can they really have a chance to resist?

The atmosphere of the banquet cooled down.

The lord of Dawan sat in an inconspicuous position, rubbing the wine glass in one hand, and saw the reaction of all the lords present with cold eyes.

Raise your neck and drink it all in one gulp.

Compared to the slightly cold atmosphere of the banquet on the side of the lords.

In the depths of the palace, the atmosphere among the queens was much more lively.

The gold and silver jewelry sent from Liaodi is dazzling, and on the side, there are also female officials who arrived with the train, and their task is to teach these queens how to use the cosmetics produced in Liaodi.

Rouge gouache, essential oil perfumes, every novelty brought from Liaodi surprised these queens.

A drop of passion dew was rubbed on the neck, and the faint fragrance emanating from the body made even the women swallow their saliva.

Hearing that essential oils also have an emollient effect, some queens living in arid regions have a longing look in their eyes.

In this regard, these female officers who came with the supplies also showed smiling faces.

I like it, this is for these queens, there is a demand for them to have the desire to buy follow-up, and the purchase will naturally have the psychology of comparison, the pillow wind can not be said to be very effective, but it is more or less still affected by the decision-making of a country.

Zhang Qiding's capital is in October.

Now that April has just arrived, these lords and queens will have to stay in Wusun for a while.

During this time, these materials and people from Liaodi were enough to make them yearn for the richness of Liaodi.

——

Liaoning City.

City lord Hu Luqi knelt down to Zhang Qi at the Liaoning wharf.

On the dock, looking at Hu Luqi, who had turned back three times in one step, boarded the boat, he waved his hand, and he also pretended to be reluctant.

The fleet returning to Australia departed.

This winter, the dockyard improved Zhang Qi's semi-iron car again, and successfully wrapped the half-iron sailboat with all-iron.

Two more powerful steam engines were also installed on board to form the steam power pack.

In addition to the ice and snow beginning to melt, the weather in April was also the reason why steam-powered ships opened the way ahead, which played an ice-breaking role.

Of course, the ice-breaking here does not mean that the Initiate has any ice-breaking ability, that is impossible, and the current power of the Initiate is only to swing away the broken ice that has melted due to the weather.

And in order to ensure the endurance of the steam engine.

The fleet returning to Australia this time was equipped with 20 large coal haulers, ensuring that the Initiate could sail to the Australian Island.

Seeing the fleet leave, the smile on Zhang Qi's face slowly calmed down.

Shirahoshi on the side stepped forward with a document in his hand and whispered in his ear.

"Intelligence from the Western Regions, the lords of the thirty-six countries have all arrived in Wusun, where the two generals of Hu Huo are located, and General Hu has a letter asking if it is possible to arrange for the lords of the thirty-six countries to leave in June and arrive in Liaoning on June 15."

Zhang Qi turned around, took out a pocket watch with a gold chain from his arms, and looked at the time.

Then he nodded in promise; "Yes."

"June is the time when everything flourishes in Liaodi, and after you return to the city, you will arrange and coordinate various departments, and when the lords of the thirty-six countries arrive, arrange for them to visit animal husbandry and farmland, and other industries will not be open for the time being."

"Understood."

Bai Xing followed behind Zhang Qi to record.

Walking to the chariot of a giant horse-drawn carriage, the shadow guard opened the spiral ladder and the carriage door for Zhang Qi.

When he got into the car, he opened the window and looked at the earth outside, which already had a little greenery, and said indifferently.

"I also sent a message to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, they have been moving frequently in Qingzhou recently, and the technology of the first generation of refining furnaces has also taken root in the Han region."

Bai Xing glanced at his own monarch and nodded: "The line system of the post is written in the imperial system?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Qi nodded indifferently, his eyes still on the scenery outside the window.

"With the refining furnace, with Liu Che's temperament, as long as there is no problem with the first furnace, then he will have to refine steel knives on a large scale."

"But, copper and iron, he is not enough."

"Arrange merchants, I'm going to dump iron ore in Dahan!"

"No!"
