Since the Han people came to Hengluosi, in just a few years, Hengluosi has undergone earth-shaking changes.
People dug canals on the banks of the Hengluosi River to divert water for irrigation, turning Hengluosi, which was originally a desert, into a desert.
The surrounding area has been transformed into hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland, and the government also organized manpower to divert river water into the city.
The deep pits dug in the city turned into ponds, and people built pavilions and corridors in the ponds.
There was such a pond in a house in the city.
At this time, Wang Can and Zonaras were sitting in the pavilion and drinking.
Wang Can took a sip of tea and sighed: "Speaking of tea, the tea shipped from the Central Plains is the best.
The tea we drink is picked after being planted locally.
It is not suitable for the acclimatization."
Zonaras asked: "General Wang, your invitation to me should be more than just tea."
Wang Can put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Okay, since you asked, I will tell you directly.
What we said last time has changed.
You can't take action in Xi Qin."
Zonaras' expression changed, "General Wang, didn't we agree in advance?
Why have you changed your mind again?"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "It's not that I want to change my mind, it's that the current situation is changing.
There is a new situation at the Judiciary Temple.
The man sent by Mahdi to recruit mercenaries died suddenly in custody.
Therefore, during Mahdi's interrogation, There is some evidence for the accusations against Mahdi However, a maid from the Dashi Embassy went to the police station to report Mahdi for molesting her, so the police station decided to charge him with indecent decency. arrest him, However, this charge is not serious and can only be detained for three months at most.
Therefore, after three months, Mahdi will be released without charge.
At that time, we will send people to escort him back to the country and transfer him to the border.
The people sent by the Food Kingdom are handing over at the border area.
Of course, we actually don’t want him to go unpunished, so I can reveal the handover location to you.
As for whether you take action, it depends on your choice.
After all, in Da Da The risk of taking action inside the Food Country is very high.”
Zonaras was a little angry, but helpless.
Wang Can's sudden notice disrupted all his plans.
His thoughts were a little confused.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying: "This is so sudden.
General, you know that I have made all the arrangements, but you suddenly changed your mind and all my previous arrangements were ruined."
Wang Can said: "There is no way, things in the world are fickle.
Some things are not decided by you or me, nor are they controllable by you or me."
Zonaras had no choice but to ask: "Okay, where is the handover place and what time?"
"On the border two hundred miles east of Jiling City, the specific time has not yet been determined.
I will inform you when there is news.
But I also want to remind you that before that, you have to watch your people and don't let them mess around.
Otherwise, not only will they all die, but you will also be in big trouble.”
"Thank you for the news, Your Excellency General," Zonaras said, drank the tea in his cup and stood up to leave.
Western Qin Palace, meeting hall.
Zhao Ziliang convened the main military and political officials from time to time to discuss military and political affairs.
There were only a few participants: Liu Tiao, Dugujun, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Gao Shang, Chu Ge, Li Siye, etc.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Liu Tiao, is the palace project completed and the founding celebration has been prepared?"
Liu Tiao answered with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, it has been completed half a month ahead of schedule.
The final aftermath is currently being processed and it is expected to be delivered within half a month.
All the furniture, decorative objects, and daily necessities for the palace have been prepared and are just waiting for delivery.

Move it in and place it in the Mid-Autumn Festival The arrangement can be completed before August 15th.
The King and the royal family members can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Founding Celebration in the palace.
All arrangements have been made, and they are only waiting for the first day of September.
Currently, the leaders of the surrounding countries have been invited. , most of the envoys are already on their way to Hengluosi.”
"Very good.
We have made it clear which countries or tribes will come to participate in our country's celebrations or send envoys here."
“Located in the east are the Central Plains Imperial Court, Silla Kingdom, Japan Kingdom, Hyugasi, Shiwei, Uluohu Tribe, Mohe Tribe, Tubo Tribe, Linyi Kingdom, Chenla, Pyu Kingdom, Niboluo Kingdom, etc., and Mobei Capital protect Zhang Shouyu, Prince of Mobei Prefecture, Gao Xiuyan, Prince of Yunzhong Prefecture, etc. will all come in person; those in the western region of Tai include the Qincha Tribe, the South Tianzhu Kingdoms, Ogus, Huacizmo, and the Dashi Kingdom; those in the western region include Dongluo The Horse Empire, the Bulgarian Khanate, the Khazar Khanate, the Principality of Benevento, the Principality of Stolet, the Kingdom of Lombardy, the Kingdom of the Franks, the Papal States and the Kingdom of Burgundy.
In addition to the Eastern and Western Regions, we have invited some tribal leaders "Outside of the West, we only invited those who have established countries.
We did not invite those who were still in a tribal state and had not established a country."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "Have you sent someone to invite the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu?"
Liu Tiao said: "They have been sent, but the envoys came back and said that the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu did not receive them at all.
According to the official's knowledge, now the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu are hostile to each other, are on guard against each other, and fight against each other every year.
They have too much time to take care of themselves. , did not pay attention to the external affairs of Beitianzhu at all."
Zhao Ziliang slammed the table and said angrily: "This is really unreasonable.
We, the Western Qin Dynasty, sent envoys, but no one from the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu received them.
This clearly means that we, the Western Qin Dynasty, do not take us seriously and do not care about our king."
In my eyes, I treat such a rude country, and I want to raise an army to attack it, so that all the countries in the world will know the consequences of despising our Western Qin.
What do you think?"
Liu Tiao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, think twice.
Now that we are about to establish the Western Qin Dynasty, we have many things to do and consume a lot of money.
It is really not appropriate to start a war rashly."
Zhao Ziliang said loudly: "If you can't do it this year, then next year the bigger country in Northern Tianzhu will dare to despise our Western Qin and despise my king.
You are really bold and arrogant.
I will order you to be the commander-in-chief of the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu.
Next year the spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom."
At that time, he led the Third Army and the Ninth Army to attack the thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu."
Chu Ge stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders."
The thirty-six tribes of Northern Tianzhu do not occupy a large area and have a small population.
The order is chaotic, and these tribes fight against each other all the year round.
The economy is depressed and the population is seriously lost.
Each tribe does not have many soldiers and horses.
There are more than 10,000 people among the 2,000 people.
Damn it, if these thirty-six tribes formed a unified political power and wanted to use two legions to attack, it would be really difficult in terms of military strength.
But now these thirty-six tribes work independently, are hostile to each other, and fight, and only use two legions.
It's more than enough to attack.
Zhao Ziliang added: "This matter is top secret.
No one present is allowed to reveal a word to anyone before the army sets off.
Otherwise, he will be punished for leaking military aircraft."
For such military and national affairs, officials and generals have long had a sense of confidentiality, but Zhao Ziliang still emphasizes it here, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang added: "Now that we have finished talking about the first thing, let's talk about the second thing, the matter of Prince Mahdi of the Dashi Kingdom.
Honglu Temple has already negotiated with the Dashi Nation and reached an agreement.
Yesterday, it was signed.
According to a secret agreement, our patrol department will abandon the charge of plotting to assassinate the Eastern Roman Empire envoy Julius in our country.
He was prosecuted and detained for three months for the crime of molesting a woman and being immoral.
On this condition, the Dashi Kingdom agreed to cede the Xindu River, the lower reaches of the Indus River, to our Western Qin, officially starting from the tenth day of October.

The handover of the garrison defense will be completed within one month.
After the defense handover is completed, we will immediately release Prince Mahdi and attack Ma.
The Hedi matter will be kept secret, and all interrogation records and files will be handed over to the Dashi Kingdom for processing.
I have great hopes for the lower reaches of the Xindu River, because the lower reaches of the Xindu River have a long coastline.
There are many places suitable for building ports and terminals.
Once we have an outlet to the sea, we will no longer be a landlocked country.
Even on land, our The trade routes are blocked, and our goods can also be transported to various countries through the sea.
Therefore, the lower reaches of the Indus River must be well managed and have good social security.
Of course, I know that this cannot be achieved in a short time. , This requires the efforts of us people to manage the lower reaches of the Xindu River.
I don’t know if you have any good ideas.”
Hearing this, Gao Shang stood up and raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing is how to treat the local Tianzhu people and their beliefs, and the second is how to govern, whether to transfer officials from Western Qin to take up their posts, or to support local officials to carry out their duties."
Governance”.
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "What Mr.
Gao said is on point.
I wonder what Mr.
Gao has to say?"
"I don't dare to express my opinion.
I only have a few simple opinions for Your Majesty's reference.
I believe that since the lower reaches of the Indus River have become part of our Western Qin territory, the people in that area are my Western Qin people.
We cannot treat them as such."
They treat them differently from other regions or other ethnic groups in Western Qin, which makes it easier for the local people to accept our rule."
"On the issue of their beliefs, your Majesty has always emphasized that having beliefs is not a bad thing, but you must not lose your reason, become a burden to the country and society, or affect the political situation and military affairs.
The lower official believes that freedom of belief should be allowed, but for those beliefs except People from sects other than Taoism will have to increase taxes.
In other words, people who believe in religion are allowed, but officials The government does not interfere and does not force you to change your faith, but you must pay an extra tax and imposes many restrictions on religious believers to prevent religious sects from getting involved in military and political affairs, disrupting social order, and excessively appropriating social resources.
It is stipulated that religious believers cannot be officials.
You cannot enter the government as civil servants, you cannot enter academies as professors, you cannot enter academies to study, etc.”
"From the beginning when the garrison takes over the local defense, military control must be implemented within the first three months or six months.
A resolute attack on those stubborn elements who are hostile to our rule in the Western Qin Dynasty will be carried out.
In addition to military strikes, the local People get close to our Tianzhu people to cooperate, You can give these people some benefits, such as letting them serve as officials, giving them some rewards, allowing their family members to enjoy a superior status, etc.
To sum up in one sentence, it is to win over the friendly ones, fight against the hostile ones, and remove the local Tianzhu people.
Divide them internally and prevent them from forming a group.”
"After initially stabilizing the local social order, on the one hand, the Government Council will select some officials to take office.
These officials will only take care of the general direction.
For specific government affairs, we can consider appointing local Tianzhu people who are willing to be loyal to the king, loyal to Western Qin, and friendly to Western Qin. official place It is enough for the officials sent by the Government Affairs Council to ensure that these local officials are loyal to the king and the Western Qin Dynasty.
This means that we do not treat the local people as outsiders or as aliens, which can further reduce or ease the local Tianzhu people’s attitude toward us. attitude”:
