For these small countries, let’s give them some sweet taste.

When it really comes to the point where it is necessary, there is probably no need to kill a lot. As long as you wave the army in front of them and cut off their various traffic, you will not be able to stand it.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of transportation, Mr. Guo would have occupied the Western Regions long ago.

Transportation...

Logistics...

It is truly an insurmountable knot for all the emperors who lit up the colonial heart.

It is also a difficult obstacle that all those who want to follow such emperors are insurmountable.

Xinpi understands it very well.

"In this way, your country has tried to cross Liangzhou to Luoyang more than once to ask for my Emperor Wei?"

When Xinpi heard the envoys of Shanshan Kingdom say that they had tried to come to Luoyang to pay homage to Emperor Wei, he was a little concerned.

"Yes, our country's small country and people are weak, of course, far inferior to China. Therefore, I admire China and hope that the emperor can reset the Western Regions Protectorate, which can block the road and cannot make it happen. This is a pity.

However, we never thought that the emperor would take the initiative to send people back to the Western Regions. When the king of our country learned about it, he was so excited that he immediately asked me to go to Luoyang to pay homage to the emperor."

The Shanshan envoy said excitedly.

Xinpi nodded.

"You are also considerate. Before, Wei, I, Wei, had not yet quelled all rebellions, and the domestic affairs were not completed. Of course, there would be no foreign affairs. Now the domestic affairs have almost come to an end, so the emperor ordered the return of the Western Regions. Don't worry, the Western Regions Protectorate will definitely be rebuilt."

"That would be the best."

The messenger of Shanshan was full of joy.

Xinpi found it funny.

"You really hope that Wei will return to the Western Regions?"

“That’s natural.”

The Shanshan envoy looked reminiscent: "At that time, the Huns enslaved our people, we were suffering so much that we dared not speak out. The food and money we received had to be handed over to the Huns, but we couldn't get anything ourselves.

It was not until the emperor sent people to the Western Regions, defeated the Huns and rescued us that we had the present. We remember the kindness of the Chinese emperor in our hearts and dare not forget it. Although the Western Regions Protectorate was once abolished, we never doubted that the Western Regions Protectorate would be rebuilt."

Xinpi found it funny.

At that time, the former Han Dynasty had three distinctions in the Western Regions. They shouldn’t have forgotten what happened at that time?

Every time the former Han Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions, these small countries were indispensable to stabbing the knife in the back.

One or two followed the Huns very decisively and did not hesitate.

Since you admire the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom so much, it is natural to die for the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, right?

Unfortunately, no.

What they did was nothing more than interests. If the Huns were not so fierce in oppressing them, the Han Empire might not have been able to expel the Huns and occupy the Western Regions so smoothly.

But it doesn't matter now.

Anyway, Guo Peng's command direction was also prepared for the sake of interests, and the ultimate direction was to gain the ruling power of the entire Western Regions.

The future Western Regions Protectorate will not be that simple thing.

Xinpi looked at the pious messenger with a sarcastic look, and then took them straight to the Lifan Courtyard.

When the Shanshan envoys passed the long gate hole and entered Luoyang City, they suddenly realized their expressions were really uncontrollable.

Compared with the wider road surface of Chang'an City, there are even larger numbers of pedestrians, buildings that are endless at a glance, and those watchtowers that are densely spread across Luoyang City.

The road surface is a stone road, and it is hard under your feet. It is not as easy to sink as mud. You don’t have to worry about the mud on rainy days, or you don’t have to worry about not knowing anyone when the wind blows when it rains.

Interestingly, the whole city is clean, there is no garbage on the ground, and there is no smell of stinking in the nose. Passers-by, no matter rich or poor, are at least neat.

They are used to the smelly smell, and they themselves smell it.

However, in many places in the Wei Empire, at least in some important big cities they have walked along the way, along the transportation hubs, I can’t smell this smell, and the air is as fresh as the no-man’s land.

Although I don’t know why, it did not prevent them from being captured by the prosperity of Luoyang City in an instant.

The permanent population of Luoyang City exceeded 800,000 at the beginning of the third year of Yande, and is still growing. With the progress of the plan for the large-scale immigration of Guanxi, the population of Luoyang City will continue to increase.

The Guanzhong region, with Chang'an and Luoyang as its dual cores, maintains a huge attraction to its population.

Guo Peng's plan was to restore the population in Guanzhong to the population in the former Hanguang and six years by about ten years by about the Yande period, and basically restore the entire vitality of the Guanzhong region.

Guanzhong was activated and had huge material reserves and population reserves, and then he could move to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor, otherwise everything would be free of negotiations.

Before we could feel the popularity of this metropolis that was more prosperous than Chang'an, the Shanshan Envoy was taken to the Lifan Court by Xinpi, and settled in the Shanshan Pavilion in the Lifan Court.

"Your country's envoys will live here temporarily. If you have any needs, the officials in the Lifan Court will help you. After that, other officials will come to tell you how to meet the emperor. You must study hard, not slacken, and not make mistakes. If you make a mistake when meeting the emperor, that would be bad."

Xinpi warned Shanshan's envoys in this way.

They nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.

After saying that, Xinpi left with great pleasure, leaving a few officials to continue to be responsible for connecting with them.

The envoys of Shanshan Kingdom were excited to walk around the Shanshan Pavilion in Lifanyuan, like children who had just obtained their beloved toys, playing with the hard-earned toys.

Houses, beds, tables, cushions, brushes, ink, bamboo slips, and a small amount of paper.

To put it bluntly, it is full of style. You can see at a glance that the owner here is a cultural person, and he reads a lot and deserves awesome.

The envoys carefully touched the novel things in the Shanshan Pavilion, whether they had seen or had never seen before, which always made them feel the strength of the Central Plains Empire.

After leaving Lifanyuan, Xinpi went to meet Guo Peng and explained to Guo Peng what he saw and learned in Qinzheng Hall.

"I came to see me just to seek some benefits, but for us, it is also a win-win situation now. We need their way, they need our goods, and each one gets what we need."

Guo Peng and Xin Pi walked in the big square outside Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty said, but since that's the case, is the treatment given to them by the court a little too high? It's better to place such expenses elsewhere, or use them to cure locusts or build water conservancy, than to give them to these people."

"high?"

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head: "Is this called Gao? George, they just want our wealth, and what we want is their all. Give them some wealth first to make them happy. Taking away all of them at that time will be considered as the end of kindness."

Xinpi understood.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, I admire you."

"Don't admire it or not. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs's first business operation is done. You must do it well. When the envoys of the 18 Western Regions arrive together, you will be responsible for managing them and coordinating them. No matter what disputes or hatreds they have, they cannot be allowed to make trouble in Luoyang.

When you go out to do whatever you want, you should also make them abide by the rules and tell them in advance what rules are. You must never violate them. Don’t let them disrupt the order in Luoyang. Lifanyuan and ordinary residential areas should pay attention to isolation and surveillance, and people should keep an eye on wherever you go."

Guo Peng explained one by one.

"I obey the order."
