070, Yingtian City (below)
After a short walk, Chongbokun's team arrived at this makeshift camp to rest. Food, tents, and even hot water have been boiled in the camp. When I set off the next day after bathing and changing clothes, everyone was amazed.
Lord Chong Bo Kun has changed into the costume of a Chinese angel, and invited Fan Chong and Taiyi to ride the Xuanyuan Yuncha pulled by two fiery red dragons, and behind the car there are guards with bright armor holding honor guards, and behind the guards there are 300 energetic tribal warriors in leather armor, followed by a convoy of 100 ox carts.
Xuanyuan Yunran could have flown up to the clouds, but this was a team of missions, so Yunyuan was still walking on the road that Fan Chong had just cultivated, and the two dragons were pulling the car and drifting slowly. The people and the army led by Fan Chong turned around at this time to open the way in front, and various post posts and temporary camps were built along the way for the Son of Heaven to rest every day, and finally welcomed Lord Chongbo Kun into Bayuan.
......
When Fan Chong saw Chongbokun in the depths of the wilderness, Xiling, the second envoy sent by Ba Jun, Xuezheng Daren, also arrived at Dingfeng City. Why is there a second envoy, this is the highest standard of etiquette, pay attention to the "three welcomes".
First of all, an envoy was sent to build a road for 300 miles to greet him, and the place where the roads converged was also the future border of Pakistan; then a second envoy was sent to wait on the current border and escorted Chongbokun to Badu City; when he arrived outside Badu City, the king would personally lead his ministers out of the city to greet him.
Lu Zhang didn't enjoy this treatment at the beginning, because Lu Zhang was ordered by Danzhu to break in in a hurry, and Shao Wu was unprepared in advance. Such a high standard is not only because Chong Bo Kun is a Chinese angel, but also because Chong Bo Kun's own identity is noble enough, and he is likely to become the next Chinese emperor after Di Yao.
Chong Bo Kun's identity is so sensitive, many people hope that he can successfully complete his mission, but there are also many people who don't even want to see him go back alive, so Ba Jun didn't dare to omit the slightest omission in the escort work to welcome Chong Bo Kun.
It doesn't matter how strong the guard is, but there can be no problems in the arrangement of the ceremony, and the young man is received according to the highest standard of welcoming angels in the Chinese etiquette. Who among the ministers of Pakistan knows the Chinese etiquette system best, of course, is the former Hou Gang, and now Hou Gang has left, and the rest is Xiling, who has co-presided over the affairs of the school palace with Hou Gang for many years.
Xiling took the honor guards, as well as a lot of daily utensils and materials, a large number of servants, and even many craftsmen, and the team arrived at Dingfeng City first. The officials of all the cities in the border area gathered in Dingfeng City to meet Xiling, and Xiling only planned to temporarily settle in the city outline, and the personnel recovered their best spirits after a few days of rest, and then they were about to leave the camp on the border.
The city lords all discouraged: "The border camp was built in a hurry to build roads, and the conditions are very simple, so it is better to set up the place of waiting in Dingfeng City, and all kinds of etiquette are better arranged." Lord Xiling can rest for a while, let me wait for the good students to entertain. ”
Although Xiling and Fan Chong are both envoys, their situations are subtlely different. When Fan Chong came, the city lords of the city were very respectful to him, and they didn't dare to disobey his orders in official affairs, but they never dared to get close to him in private. Because Fan Chong is the abdicated monarch of the old country, if he gets too close to him in private places outside of official business, he may attract criticism.
However, the people of various tribes feel very cordial to Fan Chong, and it is also because Fan Chong was their monarch and is known as a virtuous monarch. On the one hand, Fan Chong did a good job when he was the monarch, and on the other hand, it was also because of Fan Kang, a brainless tyrant, as a foil, which made him very appealing among the people in the hometown of Fan Murguo.
The situation in Xiling is exactly the other way around. The people of the former Fan Mur Kingdom were not familiar with him, but the officials of the various cities wanted to meet and make friends in private. Of course, Xiling's title is not as good as Fan Chong, but he is a powerful minister who really holds great power, is deeply respected and favored by the monarch, and represents the power of the Peng Keng family.
Xiling has a rare opportunity to run to the border city in this area, how can the officials of the city miss it, in the eyes of many people, entertaining the Lord Xiling is even more important than welcoming the Chinese angel.
Xiling really felt tired in his heart, but he still said with a spring breeze on his face: "Thank you for your kindness, but if you really want to be friendly with me, you still help me to fulfill my mission respectfully." According to the Chinese etiquette system, the waiting angel should be on the border. ”
The city lord of Dingfeng City said: "To the northeast, it is a wilderness, and there is no border defense, Dingfeng City is a border city, and it is not against etiquette to greet you in the city. We all know that Lord Xiling is respectful of state affairs, and he also wants to arrange all kinds of affairs better, and make all things more convenient in the city, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Xiling's face finally sank: "If there is no border defense, then we will wait at the edge of the border in the past, and Lord Xianjun has already built a camp." If the conditions are simple, then try not to make it simple! I have brought so many utensils and materials, servants with me, and even a large number of craftsmen, what do you think I am here for?
Not only me, the envoy, but also the clan leaders are already waiting in the camp, and the city lord of Dingfeng City must also be present. When I came, I informed the lords of all the cities along the way that they must lead the crowd to greet them at the junction of the jurisdictional borders. When you have the time to entertain me in Dingfeng City, you might as well quickly organize people to follow me to build the Angel Camp. ”
......
Fan Chong escorted Chongbokun out of the wilderness, and found that the previous camp had changed greatly, and a number of tall and sturdy buildings had been repaired, and the decoration and furnishings were extremely gorgeous. Lord Xiling has been waiting for the Chinese angels here, and has assigned the members of the Chongbokun mission with servants who specialize in daily life.
Xiling not only wanted to escort the Chinese angels back to Badu City, but also brought the latest royal order of Shaowu, appointed Fan Chong as the city lord, and built a new city here. This city was built to welcome the Chinese angels, and thanks to the Lord Chongbokun for opening up the road from the land of China to Ba Yuan, it was named Yingtian City.
Then it was spring ploughing season, and after the road was built, the labor drawn from the tribes could have been put back, but because of the order to build a new city, the two thousand strong laborers and nearly 10,000 men remained in the camp. Including the garrison formations of the various cities that Fan Chong was transferred, they were also stationed on the spot to accept his command.
The task of these men was not only to build the castle, but also to maintain the roads and set up post towns along the way. The road is not built once and for all, it has to be maintained every year, and there are border guards and garrison posts on the latest national borders. On the 300-mile road on this side of Pakistan, every 30 miles a suitable town is found to set up a post town on the side of the road.
These tasks must be presided over by Fan Chong, and I am afraid it will take several years to complete. But the recruited people can't go home for a few years, so Fan Chong gave two more orders for them to choose.
The first is rotation, since it was previously three to draw one, then each tribe will divide the main labor into three groups and send them here in turn, and Pakistan will give money and food compensation. The second is to move the family to live in Yingtian City in the future, and now the household registration work has begun.
The patriarch of the Aoba clan, Hu Bai, was not a fool, and he had already reacted at this moment, what the advice Fan Chong gave him at the beginning meant, but the opportunity had been missed, and he couldn't help but regret his intestines. Knowing this, he brought all the people of the Aoba clan here, even if the old and weak women and children couldn't repair the road, they could do a lot of other things in the camp.
Fan Chong's identity is the tenth lord of the king, but he also serves as the city lord, he even gave up the position of the monarch back then, and it is impossible to stay in the position of the city lord for a long time, and he will leave after the official completion of Yingtian City and all the affairs are arranged. So who is the next city lord? It should be the leader of the largest clan among the local residents, and it also needs Fan Chong's recommendation.
Only then did the Fox Bai patriarch realize what he had missed, Lord Fan Chong wanted to let the tribe with the most efforts get the greatest benefits, but it was a pity that he did not see through the Tao in advance, and he regretted and depressed, and he couldn't afford to be sick from then on.
Not to mention that the Fox Bai patriarch fell ill, and the Chinese angel Chongbo Kun also secretly praised Ba Jun Shaowu in his heart. Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, only sent him as an envoy to Ba Yuan and canonized the three monarchs, but he did not ask him how to reach Ba Yuan. Chong Bo Kun built a road in the wilderness, and it was his own decision to walk into Ba Yuan step by step, and he didn't need to inform anyone.
After receiving the news, the Pakistani side was able to organize manpower and material resources in such a short period of time, and soon built another road from the direction of Pakistan to join him, and the two directions were repaired for nearly 300 miles each, and it only took three months for the Pakistani side, which was very surprising to him.
Either Ba Jun has a lot of vision and foresight, or he has a master behind him, or both. Because the Lord Peng Keng, who has recently become famous in the land of China, has sent Taiyi to negotiate the route with him in advance, presumably Lord Peng Keng is the master who reminded and ordered Ba Jun.
When Chong Bo Kun saw Xiling, he also saw the camp built to build the road, and heard the king's order to build Yingtian City on the spot. In order to welcome the arrival of the Chinese angels, a city outline was built on the spot and named it Yingtian City, which is already the highest standard of etiquette, giving enough face to Chongbokun and Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, and will be praised by all Chinese departments.
Shaowu earns not only face, but also not only to win the favor of Chongbokun and Emperor Yao, the son of heaven, this city is of more important strategic significance to Pakistan, even if it is not built now, it will have to be built sooner or later in the future. Shaowu saw this in advance, and took this opportunity to solve all the problems in the future.
Everyone's vision is different, and the level of things they see and think is different. If that road can be built in three months, it should be possible to build this castle in three years. This not only reflects the vision of the monarch himself, but also reflects the national strength of Pakistan.
It is not enough for the monarch to have vision, the country must have the corresponding strength to get things done. In addition, it is not enough to have no national strength, but it is also necessary to have official organizational skills, competent officials with talents, and an efficient system for implementing government decrees. These were already seen when Chongbo Kun first arrived in Pakistan.
Chong Bo Kun thought to himself, even if he changed positions with Shaowu, I am afraid it would be difficult to do better than this Ba Jun.
Not only did Chong Bo Kun appreciate, but Fan Chong also secretly sighed. If it were replaced by Fan Chong's country when he was in power, and encountered something like today, of course Fan Chong wanted to arrange it this way, but it was impossible to do it, this is the country of Pakistan under the rule of Shaowu.
