Li Shi said: "Thank you to the King of Western Qin for your concern.
After entering the Western Qin Dynasty smoothly, I, the king and the officials accompanying the delegation were all surprised.
In just ten years, the King of Western Qin managed the land of Western Qin to be so prosperous.
The vast sea of sand rolling in the heat wave of Western Qin, the snow-covered Tianshan Mountains that are completely white as far as the eye can see, the steaming Qingchi Pond, the endless concrete avenue as far as the eye can see, etc., all left a deep impression on me."
"There are many beautiful scenery in various parts of Western Qin, and the people of Western Qin also welcome His Highness.
Your Highness can stay here for a longer time."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he looked at the accompanying officials behind Li Shi and said, "Among the officials accompanying His Highness, Some of them I know, some I don’t know.
Could you please introduce them to me?”
"please" Under Li Shi's introduction, Zhao Ziliang and Li Shi's accompanying officials got to know each other one by one, and both parties saluted each other.
The officials who accompanied Li Shi this time were all heavyweights.
Not to mention Wang Jin, he was the emperor's prime minister.
Liu Yan had already been an official in the Xuanzong Dynasty, and would also be a prime minister-level figure in the future; Yuan Zai, this He was also a prime minister-level figure in the future; the emperor's daily minister, Chang Gun, would also be a prime minister-level figure in the future.
Zhao Ziliang was quite surprised that three future prime ministers came in a row.
After getting to know all the officials accompanying Li Shi, Zhao Ziliang said to Li Shi: "This is the first time King Yong has come to Western Qin.
He may not be very familiar with some of our important officials in Western Qin.
I will introduce them to you."
Li Shi cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang led Li Shi onto a long red wool carpet and introduced to Li Shi one by one the main officials of Western Qin such as Liu Tiao, Dugu Jun, Gao Shang, Cen Shen, Gao Shi, and Dugu Wensu.
Liu Dan came over and said to Zhao Ziliang and Li Shi: "Please, Your Majesty and His Highness King Yong inspect the honor guard of the three armed forces."
Looking at the rows of soldiers standing neatly in front of him with murderous swords in their hands, Li Shi felt a little scared.
His face changed slightly, and he turned to look at Wang Jin.
Wang Jin quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry, this is It is not a show of force, this is the highest standard of ceremonial reception in Western Qin.
Until now, only His Highness is worthy of enjoying it.
Your Highness only needs to follow the King of Western Qin through a formality."
Li Shi swallowed and nodded involuntarily.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Let's start."
A major pulled out his sword and performed a few moves.
These moves made everyone see fireworks, but they also made people feel extraordinary.
As the major pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly, the drum band sang.
The music began to play, and the one hundred and fifty soldiers of the honor guard stepped forward and walked in unison under the leadership of the commander.
Behind the commander, a flag bearer held a flag, and two soldiers held long spears to guard them closely.
Behind them were several neat rows of soldiers, all holding long spears, wearing uniform dark armor, and blue helmets on their heads.
It has red feathers and a blood-red cloak on its shoulders.
Neat movements, neat queues, every movement clean and neat, without any sloppiness.
After entering the goose step, the momentum of the entire honor guard suddenly soared.
Every neat sound of stepping on the ground roared in everyone's heart, and every movement seemed Strong and powerful, the team kept moving forward, but the sharp blades in their hands never wavered.
The performance of the soldiers of the honor guard made countless people around Taiji Square raise their hands and applaud, and the cheers came one after another.
The honor guard came to a stop in front of the flagpole in front of the square.
Under the command of the commander, the team turned and stood facing the towering flagpole.
Two flag guards and flag bearers escorted the two flags to the flagpole, and a Tang dragon flag. , a Western Qin sword flag was hung on the movable ropes of two flagpoles respectively.
The flag bearers pulled the ropes to raise the two flags into the sky through the pulleys, and the flags fluttered in the wind.
Watching the two flags rising slowly, Li Shi felt inexplicably excited in his heart, and there seemed to be a force filling his body.
At this moment, he finally understood why Zhao Ziliang led the army without losing a single victory.
A simple raising of the flag allowed him to Everyone's blood boiled.
Zhao Ziliang used these methods to improve the morale of the army and make the soldiers fearless of death.

Even in the worst situation, the army would not collapse.
"Your Majesty, the honor guard of the three armies has been formed.
Please review by Your Majesty and distinguished guests," the major reported to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and said to Li Shi: "Prince Yong, please" "Invite the King of Western Qin" The two of them walked from one end of the red carpet to the other.
Along the way, Li Shi kept looking at every soldier who passed by.
After the ceremony, a six-wheeled carriage with extremely luxurious and grand decorations was driven by the charioteer and stopped beside Zhao Ziliang and Li Shi.
The two wheels in front of the carriage were the front of the carriage, and the four wheels in the back were the carriages.
The front and carriage were first.
Contact is free to turn into activity.
Zhao Ziliang said to Li Shi: "His Royal Highness Yong has dismounted and worked hard.
I have ordered people to prepare a banquet.
In the evening, I will invite His Highness and accompanying officials to enjoy the honor.
Please go to Liangyi Palace to talk first."
Li Shi quickly said: "Your Majesty, please come first."
The two of them got into the carriage with the help of the waiter from one side to the other.
The sedan was still a little shaky when someone lifted it, but there was no bump in the carriage when walking on the flat ground.
The interior of the carriage was luxuriously decorated, and it was comfortable and cool to sit on. , there is a cover above the head to block the sun.
Under the protection of the Forbidden Army soldiers, the carriage headed towards Gongmen Bridge.
Zhao Ziliang kept introducing to Li Shi: "This is Gongmen Bridge, followed by Xuanwu Fort, which is the gate of the palace.
Through Xuanwu Fort, you can enter the palace."
Li Shi said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Hengluosi was just a small fortress before, but now it has undergone such earth-shaking changes.
I don't know how much time has passed in the meantime."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Hengluosi was originally just a small town.
It was under the control of the Tuqishi people at that time.
After the fire spitting fairy rebellion, Hengluosi was placed under the Shi Kingdom and became a military town in the northwest of the Stone Kingdom. , with more than 2,000 people stationed there.
In the tenth year of Tianbao, the Great Eater invaded and captured all parts of Sogdia, and soon moved north to capture Hengluosi.
Gao Xianzhi was once again conquered by the Great Eater.
Bingbo Xilin was defeated, and then I led my troops to defeat the Dashi army and chased them all the way back to Dashi.
In the eleventh year of Tianbao, I took over as the governor of Beiting and the envoy of Jiedushi.
It has been ten years since I wrote to the imperial court suggesting that the government be moved to Hengluosi.
It has been ten years since the expansion of the city began in that year.
It took three years to build the palace and it was only completed last month."
The tall and towering Xuanwu Fort made Li Shi feel extremely depressed.
The intimidation of this fortress was too strong.
After entering the palace, various buildings came into view one by one, which made Li Shi dizzy.
The palace not only contained pavilions, attics, palaces, The promenades, gardens, ponds, and various Western buildings were so beautiful that he had never seen them before.
Li Shi couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, how much money did it cost to build this palace?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "It's about 50 million copper coins."
Li Shi took a breath and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He kept thinking to himself: "Where did Xi Qin come from so much money?
Now the Li Tang court is reluctant to come up with one million yuan."
Li Shi still couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, as far as Xiao Wang knows, most of the land in Western Qin is either desert or desert.
Compared with the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Central Plains, it is too barren.
Why is it so rich?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Your Highness, in fact, Western Qin is not rich at all.

Compared with the Central Plains, Western Qin is indeed very poor.
The Central Plains is much richer than Western Qin."
"Then why the imperial household department has no money, but the Western Qin Dynasty can spend 50 million yuan to build the palace?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Your Highness, the Central Plains is not without money.
On the contrary, the money in the Central Plains is countless times more than that in the Western Qin.
Compared with ordinary people, the ordinary people in the Western Qin are richer than the ordinary people in the Central Plains, but compared with the powerful and the rich.
Comparatively, the wealth of the powerful and wealthy people in our Western Qin is far inferior to that of the powerful and rich in the Central Plains, because all the money in the Central Plains has gone into the hands of the powerful and wealthy people, while the money in our Western Qin has Among the people, the Western Qin government would not save the money after receiving the taxes.
Instead, they would spend the money immediately the next year, so that the people could make money and the government could collect taxes.
If the government only collected taxes and If you don’t spend money, the money will go into the hands of the government, so the people will never have any money left in their hands.
How can taxes be collected?
Money needs to be circulated to reflect its value.
Money in the hands has no effect.”
Liu Yan, an official accompanying the mission who was riding next to him, was shocked after hearing Zhao Ziliang's words and said: "The king's words are really insightful.
Listening to the king's words is better than ten years of reading."
Zhao Ziliang turned around and saw Liu Yan, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Master Liu.
By the way, Master Liu is the Minister of Household Affairs.
No wonder he is so interested in this aspect."
Liu Yan quickly said: "Listening to the king's eloquent remarks, I know that the king is a man who is proficient in arithmetic and financial management.
I have many questions that I don't understand and want to ask the king for advice.
I wonder if the king is free?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "I am just a half-assed person in this regard.
If you want to ask someone for advice in this regard, I can recommend someone to you, Yang Yan, the Financial Secretary of the Government Affairs Council."
"Yang Yan, thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Soon, the group came to the Liangyi Palace.
Zhao Ziliang formally met with Li Shi and the accompanying officials in the Liangyi Palace.
The two sides reiterated the relationship between the Central Plains and the Western Qin.
The Western Qin and the Central Plains are separated by a strip of water and are a whole.
Zhao Ziliang It means that the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty was allowed by Emperor Li Tang of the Central Plains.
After that, the Li Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains was still regarded as the suzerainty.
Anyone who wanted to destroy this relationship would be spurned by all the people of the Central Plains and Western Qin.
Li Shi expressed his loyalty to Zhao Ziliang and the Western Qin Dynasty on behalf of the emperor and the Li Tang Dynasty.
In appreciation, the two sides spent an afternoon in this formulaic meeting
