In the follow-up reception, Yuan Qiao successively received enough goodwill from various countries, without exception, to reach friendly relations with each other and establish trade channels.
Yuan Qiao was more scornful of the so-called friendly relations between those countries, and what he wanted was for all countries to agree to the Han State to buy grain.
As for the equal relationship, there is no such thing as an equal relationship at all, as long as it is the countries around it, the Central Plains elite has only two consistent attitudes towards those countries, that is, they choose to surrender or be destroyed.
The Central Plains Dynasty knew a country, and would want to fight until it surrendered to become a junior brother or directly occupy the country's land, this kind of thinking has appeared since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the same is true for the unification of Qin, and the Western Han Dynasty has put this kind of domineering thinking into action, and it is an attitude that does not want to pay attention to the country that is beyond the reach of the whip.
The whole world is not the king's land and the coast of the land, but the princes and ministers are not just talking, it is the Central Plains Dynasty has always said that it can be done, and the Central Plains Dynasty has always been in addition to the split period and the two Song Dynasty periods, basically it is really that way, and the tributary system also appears under this kind of thinking.
Of course, Yuan Qiao will not show the psychology of an elite who has been educated by the culture of the Central Plains, that is, he will more or less show some arrogant actions when receiving envoys from various countries, but any country, including the Persian Sassanids, does not include the Romans, even if they feel unaccustomed to Yuan Qiao's arrogance or are not convinced, most people actually take it for granted.
A strong country should have the appearance of a strong country, and it is a law that the strong do not pretend to be a color to the weak.
As a weakling, it is often even rejoicing to accept the scorn of the strong, after all, it is better for the strong to have contempt for the weak than to use force directly.
Yuan Qiao's equality to the chief and deputy envoys from Persian Sassanid is the greatest extent, which is based on the premise that Persian Sassanid is not a weak country, and this attitude is very useful and even proud of Ardashir.
"We have the strength to talk to the Han Empire on an equal footing."
Ardashir actually doesn't know much about the current Han state, but more about the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasty, especially the Western Han Dynasty, which defeated the powerful Xiongnu and fled: "The Han Empire obviously knew this. ” Ergutai Bahram was looking at the scenery beyond the carriage, they had left Jiankang City, and were now arriving at the border of Liang County.
As the world's largest city, Jiankang City has impressed the envoys of various countries very deeply, and all kinds of things from the Eastern civilization can surprise them.
In the period of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiankang as the capital of the small court had the traffic connecting everywhere, the road was originally relatively wide, and then incorporated into the territory of the Han Kingdom and after the transformation of the left and right lanes, the envoys of various countries saw a neat and wide road full of order.
It can be said that in the current countries of the world, there are not many roads divided into left and right, and basically people on the same road to go in different directions are mixed, and when there are few people, it is fine, but when there are many people, it is very easy to crowd each other.
The Han Kingdom has long implemented the left and right branches, and the one-way street in one direction gives people who have never seen it the benefits at a glance, and they can see the sense of order in an instant.
And to tell the truth, there is a world of difference between the order of the road and the order of the road.
"I don't know how many similar roads there are and how long."
Eguthai Bahram is talking about the national highway-level road: "After driving for so long, I didn't even feel a bump, and you can imagine how smooth the road was." ” Ardashir had to recall that the Persian Sassanids naturally had wide roads, but there was no division between the left and right lanes, and it was impossible for the roads to be smooth or long.
The national highway they walked on was rebuilt on the original road, according to the specifications of the national highway is 16 meters wide, the left and right sides are each 8 meters wide, there is a separation road in the middle, and guardrails are built on both sides.
The higher the status, the more knowledgeable the person, the more able to judge the country's strength and control over the place from the country's transportation.
After entering Liang County, some people who understood breathed a sigh of relief and raised their hearts at the same time, that is because the road extending from Jiankang to Liang County will also end, but Liang County has seen the use of huge manpower and material resources to build roads.
"All roads led to Rome, and the ease of transportation not only ensured that the Romans had control over the provinces, but also allowed them to expand their territory."
Ergutai Bahram had personally visited the territory of Rome and was impressed by the Roman traffic: "Compared with Rome, our communication is far inferior, and the provinces are constantly rebelling. ” "I just learned that the Han Empire is going to build a national highway that is thousands of miles long."
Ardashir got the news from the officials of the Hongru Pavilion: "It is the kind of national road we took when we came out of Jiankang City. ” "What a bold nation" What Ergutai Bahram knew was that the Sassanid kings of Persia had similar thoughts, but due to the strength of the country and the surrounding environment, they had not been able to act on it: "Perhaps the most important thing we should do when we return is to advise Your Majesty to turn plans into actions." ” Ardashir smiled bitterly, the reason why the kings of the Sassanid dynasties of Persia had ideas but did not take action was not only because of the national strength and surrounding environment, but also because of the rejection of the nobles of the provinces.
In fact, everyone knows that after the transportation is convenient, the central government's control over the local government will be strengthened, and it is precisely because of this that the local authorities will be excluded, and what they want is that the central government's weak control over the local government can give them more convenience, such as the development of their own family strength.
Whether it was in the Parthian period or in the Sassanid period, the central control and binding power of the Persians over the local area has never been too strong.
In addition to the central royal family in the Parthian period, there were six nobles, and later it was said that the Romans were so strong that they could destroy Parthia, but it was better to say that the central Parthian and the six nobles had a contradiction to the general flashpoint, so that Vologasis V broke the jar and had to hold the six nobles to play together, and it was really the end of the game, but what I didn't expect was that the trusting Ardashir family would rebel.
When the Ardashir family became the royal family of the Persians, the first king Ardashir I and the second king Shapur I were committed to eliminating the remnants of the former six nobles, but more often they had to compromise, and then the six nobles may be dead and weak, but there will always be new nobles, and the Persian political system is the same, resulting in the Sassanid Empire, although not as miserable as Parthia, but not much better than the control of the place.
"Even Rome, which has incomparably developed transportation, Rome refers to the fact that the capital cannot fully control the provinces, and the facts have proved that the transportation that comes is not a panacea, otherwise there would be no military chaos and military and military chaos."
Ardashir was no stranger to Rome, and he knew more about Rome than he knew about his own country, or he knew his mortal enemies without knowing himself.
He pointed to the huge crowd of people who were working and said: "I heard that the reunification of the Han Empire was only within a few years, and their emperor only ended the large-scale foreign wars last year, but there are still many local wars, and there are great projects in the country. ” Of course, Liu Yan has not yet been called the emperor, but he will not use the title of king to the outside world, but to use the title of the emperor.
The news of the widespread drought has not been disclosed, and only a very small number of people know about it, because they are worried that the news of the drought will cause unrest, and the central government will take a step-by-step approach to centralize the management of the people, and wait for sufficient control and order to be established before the news will be detonated.
After the centralized management of the people is completed, the payment of wages who do not starve to death, and the announcement of the imminent outbreak of drought will cause the people to rally on the side of the country while panicking, and will not give more opportunities for ambitious people to coerce the victims.
So the order in which the news is revealed is also a university question.
The first envoys, including the Persian Sassanids, did not stop until Shouchun, and they could see a large number of people being concentrated in the counties along the way, and they were extremely amazed by the orderly and well-defined division of labor, and were greatly surprised by the organizational ability of the Han state.
"It can be seen that although it has only been eight years since the Han people returned to the country, their people are very obedient to the ruling class."
Ergutai Bahram was a man of understanding, saying: "Only those who love the ruler will be willing to be driven, and only the ruler who trusts the ruler will be willing to accept the assignment, proving that the current Han emperor is favored." ” Ardashir, of course, knew this, and he had his own opinion: "It also proves that the Han Empire had an efficient administrative system." ” In fact, it is not so simple to start a national-level project, and it is not necessary to have enough manpower and material resources to start a national-level project, and it is also related to the crucial organizational capacity.
Many countries obviously have enough manpower and material resources but are unable to start national projects, because of insufficient organizational ability, and organizational ability is not a problem at all in the Central Plains Dynasty in the past dynasties, and it can even be said that they have sufficient experience.
"The Romans are coming."
Ardashir only learned the news the day after Shouchun stopped, and while his mood became gloomy, he didn't care to go to the Han State to feel more emotional: "They have already set out from Jiankang, and the reason why we stopped is to wait for the missions of those countries, including Rome. ” If the Han and the Huns were mortal enemies, then the Persians and the Romans were also mortal enemies of one of them that had to be eliminated.
Before Ardashir's envoy, there were missions to Rome and envoys to Han, and even the Persian Sassanid navy was ordered to intercept them, but the Romans still came.
Although the current Rome is already ruled by four emperors, it has not yet formed a real division, but has the concept of west and east, and the split into Western Rome and Eastern Rome occurred in 395 AD.
After Rome went through the rebellion of the military officers, the country fell into a period of weakness because of the long-term turmoil, but it stabilized again during the Illyrian Dynasty, and the good times did not last long because of the successive rise of the four major families and entered the second era of "four emperors".
Rome's second "Four Emperors" ended at the hands of Constantine, but it took fourteen years of civil war to reunite and Constantine became the only Augustus in Rome.
Today's Roman Augustus is Constantius, and his path to Augustus is full of Roman characteristics, that is, he must fight with his brother to sit on the throne of Augustus, the problem is that the area that Augustus can really control is the Eastern Rome after the division, and the Western Rome in the Europa part is under the autonomy of various families.

In the renewed confrontation between Rome and the Persian Sassanids, it was actually the eastern part of Rome that was fighting against the whole Persian Sassanid, and even this could still suppress the Persian Sassanids on the ground for a long time, because the Arabs and Kushan remnants under the rule of the Persian Sassanid would break out from time to time Great rebellions, and the nomads in the northeast would also invade frequently.
"The Han Empire knew that we were at war with Rome, why would it make us stop and wait for the Romans" Ardashir felt that he was not respected, and said angrily: "We have shown enough sincerity" Ardashir not only got angry with the Persians who were traveling with him, but also simply found Yuan Qiao to express his dissatisfaction.
"The official personally receiving you is the greatest sincerity."
Yuan Qiao expressed his dissatisfaction with Ardashir in an inexplicable mood: "This official is the squire of the Han Dynasty, and the one who goes to receive Rome and other countries is just a general. ” Ardashir didn't understand the official position of the Han State at all, and when he heard that Yuan Qiao, who received him, had a higher official position than the Han official who received Rome, he immediately felt much better.
"The Sindus are friends of the Romans, and you have entered a state of war with the Sindus" said in a confused tone, "A friend of an enemy is also an enemy, and an enemy of an enemy is a friend, isn't it?"
Yuan Qiao immediately laughed when he heard the translation, Persian Sassanid and Ji Doro are actually enemies, but Persian Sassanid pulled Ji Doro before he came, whether the country is an enemy or a friend is so simple.
Ardashir said: "We have a long-standing friendship with the Han Empire, and we will be natural allies in need, and you have no need to receive the Romans, and you should expel them from the country." ” Yuan Qiao's face immediately darkened, and he said very unhappily: "Dahan doesn't need anyone to teach him what to do. ” Ardashir wanted to continue to say something, but Ergutai Bahram, who was standing on the side, hurriedly pulled and stopped it without caring about the impact, but Yuan Qiao brushed his sleeves away
