The heavens start from saving Daming

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

Thinking of Li Yunze, who would be punished no matter how far away he is, who committed the crime of the mighty man, he couldn't help laughing.

What else could the master father do here? He could only laugh along with her.

Now that the emperor has become the hands-off treasurer, he only has to take the direction of everything, and he, the prime minister, has to arrange the specific arrangements. It is very tiring, okay?

But for Zhu Fuyan, who has realized his ideals and ambitions in life, this is both pain and happiness.

Zhu Fuyan, who believes that a man cannot lose power for a day, is very satisfied with these painful and happy days.

But Zhang Qian, another strategist, was not so satisfied.

Because he served as an envoy to Yelang Kingdom, but it was very unsuccessful.

Passing through the newly built highway, they arrived at the border of Yelang Kingdom. Then the mission had to abandon the carriage and rush over the mountains.

The tossing along the way really made Zhang Qian wish he could go to the Western Regions.

After all, the environment of the [-] mountains connecting the mountains is really desperate.

After finally entering the Yelang Kingdom and meeting the local people, it took nearly a month to just pass on the news to their King Yelang that an envoy from the Han Dynasty had arrived.

This made Zhang Qian, who was used to the Western Regions where a city was a country, and the king would see the king as soon as he entered the city, very uncomfortable.

When he finally saw Yelanguo, Zhang Qian became even angrier.

The reason is very simple. When Zhang Qian submitted the letter of credence to King Yelang, stating that he was an envoy of the great Han Dynasty, King Yelang actually said something that was unimaginable in this era.

King Yelang asked Zhang Qian, "Which Han is greater than me?"

"Your Majesty's words are ridiculous!"

Zhang Qian replied angrily, "The big man is rich in the world, is it the land of the Han in the world, and the land of the land is the subject of the Han! If you are a small country like Yelang, how dare you ask the big man who is bigger? You are overestimated!"

The so-called Yelang Kingdom was a country established by the Baipu people.

The Baipu people even participated in King Wu's conquest of Zhou a thousand years ago. They were not barbarians like the Tungus savages.

It's just that after being oppressed by the Chu Kingdom for so many years, they continued to migrate and came to these hundreds of thousands of mountains and established the Yelang Kingdom.

In the Warring States Period more than a hundred years ago, King Xiang of Chu sent General Zhuang Yue to destroy the Yelang Kingdom and expand thousands of miles to the south.

It's just that the first emperor attacked Chu later, cutting off the return route of the Chu army going south.

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

Seeing that Zhang Qian was angry, King Yelang asked again, "I have heard about the greatness of Chu for a long time, but I don't know how the big man compares to Chu?"

These words really made Zhang Qian stunned.

Almost 100 years have passed since the Chu-Han struggle 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, "Chu has long been destroyed by my big man."

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

The reason is very simple. Their Yelang Kingdom was destroyed by the Chu Kingdom a hundred years ago. Of course they know this.

Since the Han Dynasty was able to destroy Chu, it was naturally a more powerful country than Chu, and it was natural that he should be respected.

Until this time, the two sides can really start talking about business.

King Yelang asked, "Why did the envoy come to our country?"

Zhang Qian replied, "Following the order of the Son of Heaven, he held the book of state to the king of Yelang, and ordered Yelang to submit to the great Han."

King Yelang was not that resistant to things like surrender, and the people around him didn't look indignant.

After all, they surrendered to Chu State a hundred years ago, and the chiefs of these places basically have no strong obsessions, unlike the land of the Central Plains, when it comes to submitting, they will directly fry the pot.

Seeing that Zhang Qian and his party were dressed luxuriously, held ironware, and carried a lot of supplies, King Yelang asked curiously, "The big man is so rich?"

"It's natural, the emperor of Han is rich in the world."

"If this king surrenders to the big man, how much benefit will he get?"

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

In desperation, he had no choice but to say, "If your Majesty is interested, he should go to Chang'an and he will naturally know."

Unexpectedly, King Yelang actually nodded, "Okay."

Zhang Qian felt that such a small country was nothing to worry about. The leader of a country really ran to Chang'an City after listening to a few words from envoys from other countries. What should he worry about if he is so ignorant?
It would be great if the big and small kings in the Western Region could be fooled so easily.

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

As for himself, he continued southward and went straight to Dian Kingdom.

At this time of tight human resources, Li Yunze still spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the highway to the south. The only purpose was to open the road to Shendu (India) from the south.

Perhaps it is because the locals have darker skin and look like poisoned, so they are called poisonous?

Emperor Wu in history did the same thing. He sent batches of envoys into the deep mountains and old forests, never came out again, and finally failed to find the poison.

The most important reason is that we don't know its specific location and direction, and we don't know whether the land of Shendu is as good as the legend says.

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

In ten years at most, the baby boom in Han Dynasty will reach maturity. A large number of young men and women will grow up and urgently need living space.

Although the land of the Han Dynasty is large, it can accommodate ten times the population, but the problem is that there are not so many fields that can support the population.

The existing fields have been divided long ago, and the newly reclaimed fields, in the absence of technology and hard work, are not as good as mature fields after decades of reclamation.

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

Shendu, as one of the four ancient civilizations, has been cultivating fields as early as thousands of years ago. There are as many mature fields in the territory, even as much as the big man.

If we take this place, it will not be a problem to feed tens of millions of Han children.

Zhang Qian's mission to Yelang Kingdom and Dian Kingdom was to prepare for the construction of the avenue. As long as the avenue can be built to the point of death, then things will be easy.

As for sailing in the past, considering the level of technology and materials of this era, it is better to transport goods more in voyages, and transport people over long distances, and the loss during the journey is extremely terrible.

Zhang Qian continued south to the Dian Kingdom, while King Yelang went north out of the mountains on the border and arrived at the bustling construction site.

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

Tens of thousands of people gathered together to build roads, and they were really digging mountains!
'Boom~~~'

The deafening sound of thunderbolts made King Yelang tremble in fright.

On the hillside of a big mountain in the distance, large groups of smoke and dust rose up, and rocks of different sizes, soil, vegetation, and trees poured down like a waterfall.

"This, this, this," King Yelang was so frightened that he saluted and shouted, "The mountain god is angry~~~"

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

To open a mountain is to open a mountain, but it is only to open a mountain along the mountain.

After all, the black gunpowder produced by the alchemists is not powerful enough, and they can only build winding roads according to the terrain. It is impossible to achieve the powerful effect of later generations, where I can drive wherever I want.

But even so, it shocked King Yelang to the extreme. His whole body's energy and spirit had undergone tremendous changes, and everything he faced the big man was filled with respect.

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

When King Yelang arrived at Chang'an New City, he almost fell to his knees.

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

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

When he saw Weiyang Palace, King Yelang knelt down directly.

Such a magnificent palace complex, like a fairyland in the sky, brought an indescribable and strong stimulation to it.

When Xiao He built the Weiyang Palace back then, the point of view of 'no majesty without magnificence' was perfectly interpreted at this moment.

"The lord of the small barbarian country, King Yelang pays homage to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor has lived for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years~~~"

According to the words and actions taught by the people from Honglu Temple, King Yelang cautiously came to the Xuanshi Hall and saluted Li Yunze.

As for calling yourself a barbarian, this is something passed down from the Chu State.

When Chu State destroyed Sui State, the king of Sui State said, "I am innocent, how can I be punished?" '

The King of Chu's response was, 'I am a barbarian. '

From then on, people calling Chuyue in the south and even the locals further south were called barbarians.

It is the origin of the so-called Nanman.

Li Yunze, who was wearing a hat, couldn't see clearly the face of Prince Yelang because the beads were blocking it, so he said, "Come forward."

This was something Honglu Temple had never taught before. King Yelang subconsciously went to see the Minister of Honglu Temple.

Honglu Siqing was very straightforward and decisive, he directly looked down at the ants on the floor, and only then realized that the ants on the Xuanshi Hall were so cute.

King Yelang was very frightened.

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

No one can help him, and in the end he can only kneel on the ground and keep rubbing forward.

This scene really surprised everyone in the Xuanshi Palace.

Many barbarians from other vassals came to pay homage to the emperor, but he was the first to do so.

After Xiang Yu broke the boat and defeated the main force of Qin's Great Wall Army, he was terrified by Xiang Yu's terrible force. When the princes met him, he walked on his knees, which became a very strong stroke in the history books.

Li Yunze was also very satisfied and signaled King Yelang to stand up and speak.

No seat was arranged for him, because the seats in the Xuanshi Hall were all owned by the owner, and wanting to have a seat here was not the treatment that the barbarian king could 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 and so on.

King Yelang didn't know whether he was bowed down or was shocked by the strength of the big man, but he just said whatever he asked.

After the questioning was over, Li Yunze nodded in satisfaction and asked the last sentence.

"Han or Yelang, which one is bigger?"
