Chapter 396 The envoy from Taixi

The so-called civilianization of primitive weapons is not a one-step process. It's impossible to do it all in one step. The first batch of civilian components launched are still official.

The Daxia Empire will establish a new department to take charge of land and sea transportation. The first batch of civilian utensils were not owned by private individuals, but belonged to this ministry.

This department is the tenth department under the two houses of the Empire, the Ministry of Communications. The status is on the same level as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry, etc. In charge of the empire's transportation system.

After the road traffic system enters the process, this department will enter the construction process. It is now operational.

This is the first step towards the civilian use of primitive weapons. The first step led and guided by the empire.

Every step taken by the Daxia Empire today is a historic step and a brand new step. Brand new means no old routine. Without old examples, there is nothing to refer to. A reasonable system must be guided by the imperial official, and only after the production capacity of Yuanqi reaches a certain level can it be fully rolled out among the people.

Within a period of time, the transportation of components will be dominated by the empire. When the time is right, it will gradually be opened to individuals.

A new territory, blank in every aspect. The disposal of Yingzhou mainly involves two major items: population and resources, but even if it is broken down into details, it is impossible to count them.

However, Daxia is very experienced in this area, so it is not difficult to deal with it. Whether it was the previous Monan Grassland or Chaozhou, they have accumulated a lot of experience.

Whether a country meets the standards of the Ninth Five-Year Plan can actually be easily seen from its foreign wars. Whether one can make war fortune is one of the most obvious criteria.

Dynasties in the past dynasties started from the founding king and gradually expanded, which was a process of making war fortune. By the time he can no longer make war fortunes, makes no profit from a war, or even suffers losses, then the dynasty must have reached its limit and will no longer be able to continue to rise and expand.

The empire made huge profits by conquering Yingzhou. It only took a month and a half to mobilize 140,000 troops, but what was gained was a state-level territory, nearly 20 million people, gold and silver mineral deposits and countless other resources. No matter how you compare, you will make a profit, not a loss.

War is necessary. Either it's for profit or it's forced. But if there is no benefit and no coercion, then it should be called a senseless war. This should be interpreted as meaningless war, not moral war.

Regarding how to deal with Ying Zhou, the Central Committee came up with a plan, and Ying Yi stopped paying too much attention to it. What Ying Zhoumu would do specifically, Ying Yi only looked at the results. If you do well, you will naturally have merit. If you do not do well, you will naturally be punished.

The arrival of several envoys diverted the attention of the empire center from dealing with Ying Zhou.

In early September of the third year of the Han Dynasty, the Guangzhou Mu urgently reported to the Central Committee that envoys from the barbarians in Western Europe and Europe were visiting, and they landed in Guangzhou and were waiting at the post office in Guangzhou.

The establishment of the imperial transportation system greatly reduced the spatial barriers between localities and centers. The beginning of the civilian use of Yuanqi has reduced the space barrier to less than a day.

The Thai-Western mission arrived in Guangzhou at noon the day before, and the report from Guangzhou Mu at noon today is in Ying Yi's hands.

Of course, Ying Yi himself is still not satisfied with this. It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Guangzhou Mu, but I'm dissatisfied with the communication delay. The central Yuanling Tianyan has just come up with a specific plan to lay out a humanitarian communication system, but it has not yet been implemented.

"If this is achieved, what happened in Guangzhou can be reported to the central government in time." Ying Yi put down the report from Guangzhou Mu and smiled at Yan Ermei who was standing aside.

As a supervisor of the Humane Supervision Bureau, Yan Ermei can be said to be the official closest to the emperor. Therefore, he knew many things earlier than Zheng Yunzhi. Such as the humanitarian communication system.

"Your Majesty, many times I have the illusion that I am in a dream." Yan Ermei said: "If the road transportation system is still visible and tangible, the humanitarian communication system is completely confused."

Ying Yi laughed loudly: "Yong Qing has also studied the wonders of Yuan Fu and Yuan Qi. How come you are so confused?"

Yan Ermei said: "It's just the replacement of old and new, the change is too fast. Your Majesty."

Ying Yi nodded: "Just get used to it."

Then he said: "The countries in the West and the West have sent envoys to visit. What do you think of this?"

Yan Ermei said: "It's just a test, Your Majesty." He said: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, and the expansion of the empire has never stopped for a moment. Now in Mobei, the Western Regions, Tibet, South Vietnam and Southeast Asia, the empire is entangled with various forces. . Especially in Nanyue, Nanyang and the south of Tibet, where the tentacles of the barbarian forces in the West are located. Of course they cannot sit still if Daxia affects their interests."

Ying Yi nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. Although Taixi and China are far apart, they have always had exchanges with each other, and they suffered losses during the previous dynasty. They have a certain understanding of China, maybe not in detail, but they must know it. China is not comparable to the natives on the islands in Southeast Asia. Therefore, there must be fear in my heart. I am fearful in my heart and the journey is far away, so I dare not go to war directly. But my Great Xia has harmed the interests of the Western and Western barbarians, so we cannot ignore it, so we must Let’s test it out first, see my attitude, feel the foundation of Daxia, and then decide how to deal with it.”

Yan Ermei said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Ying Yi laughed: "Since they are here to explore the bottom, let's give them a good look."

Then he said: "Draw an edict and tell Guangzhou Mu to be more generous."

Yan Ermei understood: "Follow the emperor's order."

The post station system was the original communication system of the empire. The so-called ten-mile post station was mainly used in Daxia to convey information, deliver letters, and provide accommodation and accommodation for passing merchants and pedestrians. It was not just for official services.

The inn system was established very early. The previous dynasty left a deep foundation, so it is not difficult to reopen the inn system.

In the beginning, the post station was used for both official and civilian purposes. There are two houses, inner and outer. The inner courtyard of the post station is for official use, used to convey central government reports, edicts and local reports, and to receive officials, foreign envoys, etc. The outer courtyard is the place where people doing business can rest and pass family letters.

The distribution of inns is based on the main imperial road traffic routes.

As the empire's situation changed, the functions of the inn gradually changed. The biggest change is that inns at the prefecture level and above are gradually turning into stations.

There are two post houses at the state and prefecture level, that is, the same state and prefecture government office has two inns, one inside and one inside. One is in the city and the other is on the main road outside the city. Those in the city are for government use only and belong to the Ministry of Rites, while those outside the city are for civilian use and stations and belong to the Ministry of Communications.

After the Western and Western foreign envoys arrived in Guangzhou, they were arranged to rest in a post house in the city.

The Thai-Spanish mission that came thousands of miles away this time consisted of five members: Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France and England.

They all have interests in the East, so they come together.
