Mr. Guo is an emperor who likes to pay attention to reality, but under the composition of the tribute system, he also suffers this mute loss.

In order to show the strong economic strength of the Central Plains Empire and the magnanimity of the Celestial Empire, the gifts given to these countries were basically twice as high, or several times.

It seems that they are losing money. They bring some ordinary things and then return with a full load. This is a loss.

However, the relationship between countries cannot be simply analyzed from the economic perspective of one exchange.

These things are exchanged for the title of the monarch and the subject, the title of the monarch and the vassal state, and the title of the great righteousness.

As soon as Mr. Guo gave the order, they would obey the great name.

From then on, all the rulers of their country would have to be matched with the official seal of the Wei Empire, and they were subjects of the Wei Empire.

More importantly, they no longer have independence in the national qualities, and from then on they will follow the political call of the Wei Empire and follow the steps of the Wei Empire.

The bureaucrats did not care about appointing the Wei Empire or governing the national Wei Empire, but their throne must be approved by the Emperor of the Wei Empire.

They cannot decide on the handover of the throne privately. Even if they only follow a procedure, they must obtain the official enthronement of the Emperor of the Wei Empire, and then they will be considered legitimate.

If they cannot get the title of the Emperor of the Wei Empire, they are just white-board kings with injustice and cannot convince the public. Anyone can question or oppose it.

Once their king had a conflict with the emperor of the Wei Empire, the emperor issued an order to express his disagreement with his position as king, and his legal basis of rule was shaken.

His country will become unstable, and he will lose the legitimacy and orthodoxy of his rule.

Then anyone who jumps up and opposes him killing him and seizes the throne of kings, as long as he continues to respect Emperor Wei as the sect leader, it will be reasonable and legal.

This is justified, and this is the meaning of sect sovereignty.

In order to make the four words legitimate, Mr. Guo has struggled for twenty years.

After twenty years of hard work, Guo has made himself stand at the peak of legitimate justice. No one knows the power of the four words legitimate justice better than Guo.

After they all became vassal states of the Wei Empire, they were not able to make money simply.

The Wei Empire set up a Western Region Protectorate to govern them. It was nothing usually, but if there was any important matter, they had to obey orders.

For example, if a small country is disobedient and makes Wei's father unhappy, then Guo gave the order to ask the Western Regions Protector to lead the troops to attack him. The vassal states would send troops to the Western Regions Protectors to attack the disobedient small country.

Under the suppression of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, Mr. Guo has the legitimate power to attack a disobedient small country.

Even if the countries in the Western Regions were afraid of being dissatisfied, they would follow and send troops to follow the Wei Empire to attack the country, otherwise it would be a real population.

Then Mr. Guo has sufficient excuses and reasons to launch a "combating war".

How dare you not listen to the orders of the emperor of the Sect Master?

This is rebellion!

We should immediately send troops to attack and pacify to maintain the majesty of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire!

This is not an aggression, but an internal war to combat rebellion and legitimately quell the rebellion.

This is an internal contradiction within the Wei Empire system, rather than a war of aggression and conquest between countries.

This is very important, which will determine whether the Wei Empire is a kingly country or a domineering country.

Obviously, the reputation of the Kingdom of Kings sounds good.

No matter whether he is actually like this or not, it is irrefutable that he can write this way in history books.

Then, the Western Regions were successfully transformed from ancient times.

If I could buy this thing with money, Mr. Guo would be so happy.

Then he could be the emperor at least five years ahead of schedule, and he could build the Wei Empire with a yellow robe before the age of thirty. It was easier than Liu Xiu, and he didn't need to work so hard.

He also used warlords and destroyed the Han central government. All kinds of sinister and vicious strategies were used. Then he had to trick the throne from under Liu Jian's butt, and he had to carry out a great purge to clean up the ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty, kill some people to establish their authority.

How difficult.

If everything in the world could be bought with money, Mr. Guo would have long been able to establish a Datong Empire, complete the second academic downward movement, and build the imperial examination system.

Unfortunately, not everything can be bought with money, especially the name of the great name.

But now the countries in the Western Regions took the initiative to step forward and shamelessly came up to sell their righteous name to Mr. Guo by pound. Mr. Guo was too happy, so how could he refuse?

With the title of this sect leader, if a small country is disobedient in the future, Guo sent troops to fight in every possible way, and there is no need to worry about any impact.

In order to show that the remaining countries have to send troops to follow the orthodox attitude, they have to attack together and provide food and fodder, saving countless things.

Of course, this must be based on the premise that the Wei Empire has strong national strength and can control the Western Regions. If it is the same as the previous civil strife in the Eastern Han Dynasty, don’t talk about it.

Mr. Guo will not do things about spending money to buy face, but if there are deeper benefits that can be obtained and can develop in the long term, that would be great.

Mr. Guo never wastes money.

Moreover, this means opening up an external market for mainland business travelers. Although this market is not too big and the consumption level is not high, it is also a market after all.

One more market can bring more income, which can also open up a wider Central Asian market and do business with a larger Central Asian country with a larger population. The benefits are self-evident.

Although it takes a lot of rewards to accept these vassal states at the moment, the subsequent benefits are far from comparable to those of the current rewards.

The things they get when they pay tribute will be returned to Guo quickly through trade routes.

So when some officials said that opening the Western Regions was not a good thing and that there would be a lot of unnecessary expenses, Guo Peng ignored them.

One by one, they thought that Guo was standing on the first floor and they were standing on the second floor, but they had no idea that Guo’s thoughts were already standing on the 99th floor.

What I want is the entire Western Regions, I want it all!

After the gift list was read, Guo pretended to be satisfied and accepted their tribute, and then asked the officials to read out his imperial edict.

It is said that Emperor Wei allowed Shanshan to become a vassal state of the Wei Empire, and then formed a relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and the country was forever solid, and the monarch and ministers would never be separated.

Then they were given seals of officials from the Wei Empire and gold seals of the king, and then a large number of rewards were announced, three times the quantity and value of tributes from the Shanshan Kingdom.

Sure enough, the eyes of the two envoys from Shanshan were straightened.

Oh, short-sighted.

Mr. Guo secretly mocked these guys who were jealous of money.

The envoy of Shanshan State announced his gratitude and worshiped Mr. Guo with the etiquette of his ministers. After the great ceremony, he slowly left the venue.

Then the envoys from the Later Che Shi Kingdom met with him, and brought twice as many tributes than the Shanshan Kingdom, and naturally received three times the reward. The Later Che Shi Kingdom also became one of the vassal states of the Wei Empire, and officially formed the title of monarch and minister.

Then, according to the standard process, the seals were given to officials of the Wei Empire and the golden seal was given to King Che Shiwang, symbolizing that Emperor Wei allowed King Che Shiwang to exercise his power of rule in the Kingdom of Che Shiwang on his behalf.

Then all the Western Regions countries announced their visits one after another, worshiped the emperor, became vassal states, received rewards and seals of Wei officials, as well as the king's golden seal, and formed a relationship with the emperor of Wei.

Finally, the king, who represented them in the Western Regions, knelt down to the Emperor Guo of Wei in the Hall of Qinzheng, and said, "Long Live the Sect Master and the Vast." He officially set the title of the sect leader and the vassal.

"Long live my emperor."

They learned from the ministers in the Wei court that they expressed their surrender and loyalty to Guo Peng, knelt in front of Guo and swore, swearing that they would follow the Wei Empire from then on and embark on a win-win path of harmonious development.

In this way, the overall situation has been decided.
