"Your Majesty, Liu Biao officially sent a letter of nationality, hoping to abdicate and give up the country. He just hopes that you can go to Nanyang and talk about specific things. If it is a written delivery, it will be a waste of time." At about the end of the year, Jian Yong found Liu Tao with a letter of nationality delivered by the Ministry of Rites.

"Has he made something wrong?" Liu Tao frowned slightly, "He has no qualifications to give up the country at all. His regime itself is a pseudo-government. From my perspective, he is just a rebel. There is no saying that he abdicates and gives up the country, only comprehensive surrender!"

"Your Majesty, of course the other party understands this, so he pointed out that he should 'discuss' in detail', that is, he hopes there is a step to go down." Jian Yong reminded.

"That's how it's... it's the end of the year..." Liu Tao said he really didn't want to go out at this time.

"This is nothing. The specific time for the meeting is early next year." Jian Yong replied after confirming the date.

If it is the beginning of next year, then there is no big problem. Anyway, next year, or even the year after, there may be no way to continue to expand the territory for the time being. It is very likely that it will be until the third year, and the imperial examination will be held at the same time as the imperial examination is held, or the invasion of Bashu.

The biggest war in the past two years is probably the only exploration war in the Western Regions. Of course, Liu Tao also plans to go there in Qinghai. After all, there is China's largest salt lake there. As for whether it is the world's largest, he has not investigated before traveling through time, and he is not sure.

When necessary, I will go around the Xianbei area. Even if I draw grass valleys, it cannot be the other party’s patent. It is still very important to rob and control the grassland population regularly.

We are not aimlessly massacres. We are not barbaric Hu people. We will recruit people, let them experience the joy of labor, and then slowly teach them the principles of being a human being and the knowledge needed to live in the Han area.

Chinese dialect and Chinese characters must not be missing. In the last three years, if qualified, then they will be in the Central Plains or other places far away from the Xianbei. A wealthy man who has lived for 10 or 20 years will make them gradually forget the Xianbei national expressions on their bodies and devote themselves to the embrace of the great Chinese nation...

Human beings yearn for a better life, just like fifty years ago, a lot of people yearned for life in Xiangjiang. Now, after going through, I found that after deducting the duty-free shop, it was just like that, and I felt a bit dilapidated and backward.

Such robbery battles will basically only bring supplies and population to the Han Dynasty, so naturally they will become stronger and stronger as they fight. If they are more ruthless, they will destroy the country in minutes, especially small countries like the Western Regions.

I know that the Western Regions are great, but if I occupy one or two oasis, I will be founded. I don’t know who gave them the courage.

The distance between countries is still a bit far apart, and I don’t know if there is a marriage relationship. But it doesn’t matter. Basically, with a charge, you can almost enter the countdown to destroy the country.

In short, there will be almost no major events next year and the next year, and there will be no small matters. The biggest thing is probably the opening of the railway. However, to this day, in the eyes of many people, this railway is still the result of his willfulness.

After all, if there are so many irons, if they are all used to build weapons and armor, I don’t know how many people can be armed.

Moreover, in order to build this railway, a lot of manpower was used. In other words, these workers were all escaped people and even servants. In order to obtain the status of a free man, they could volunteer to help work for three years.

In particular, the court also promised to arrange housing and land for them in three years.

"At the beginning of next year... after the Lantern Festival or before?" Liu Tao asked, remembering that the better with a few kids at home, the better. On the Lantern Festival day, we will make many lanterns, and we will enjoy the Lantern Festival together.

"What happened next." Jian Yong of course knew Liu Tao's itinerary. If it was before Lantern Festival, Liu Tao would not need to come forward. He would also reply to the other party and suggested changing the time to Lantern Festival before meeting.

After all, this is not an equal diplomacy between countries. Strictly speaking, it is the Han court that accepts negotiations on surrender of other countries. The positions of the two sides are not equal, and the court has the initiative.

"Then let's arrange your itinerary a little." Liu Tao nodded, and has been accustomed to this schedule mode of appointment system recently.

The larger the territory, the more things you need to do. Sometimes when you focus on doing something, you often forget the time, which will delay things. If you make a little reservation and time limit, you can make full use of the time.

Jian Yong is also becoming more and more like a big secretary, and his secretary's work is well coordinated. It is not only his own side, but also his secretary of the Secretariat Monks and senior officials, but also provided by the Menxia Province.

In a blink of an eye, 193 has also passed in a hurry, but compared to last year, at least this year has been very fulfilling.

Luoyang Palace gradually adapted to it. During the Spring Festival, he accompanied the family to have fun at home. Until the Lantern Festival, he did not handle government affairs unless it was a major matter involving national security.

On the Lantern Festival, Liu Tao accompanied his wives, concubines and children to enjoy the lanterns in the palace. Perhaps he knew in advance that His Majesty the Han Dynasty had arranged lanterns, and the people also spontaneously organized lanterns.

The Lantern Festival Lanterns have been considered to be present since ancient times, but after Buddhism was introduced, it began to have some religious significance. Liu Tao ignored these things and sent people to make lanterns because his parents took him to see lanterns when he was a child. For him, this is one of the memories of the Lantern Festival.

Unfortunately, the fireworks party is gone, but this thing itself is a custom that has only been gradually formed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it is not forced. If one day in the future, the fireworks will be really made, and the environmental protection issues will be considered. It is better to just set the spots in one or two places every year. Anyway, the fireworks will be vaguely visible more than ten miles away.

You can also increase consumption tax on fireworks to invest in environmental protection, which is better than directly banning them. Moreover, the designated sales of fireworks can also prevent some people from buying some inferior fireworks, which is not good if there is an accident...

Finally, it was Lantern Festival. Sesame has existed in this era, but unfortunately there is no peanuts. The rumors were spread from the Western Regions, and some say it was spread from the Americas. Anyway, there is no such thing as yet.

Sesame stuffed dumplings, red bean stuffed dumplings, and ginger candy water, have a childhood taste. The dumplings should be big, and if they are big, they are called dumplings. That kind of dumplings are soulless.

"Are you going out?" After the Lantern Festival, Liu Tao began to prepare to go south. Cai Yan raised his big belly and stepped forward to ask.

Yes, she got pregnant again, and Liu Tao didn't avoid anything at all, and the woman didn't mind having a few more children. Even the concubines in the future, being able to get pregnant was a manifestation of His Majesty's favor. If she changed to someone who was not favored, it would be a problem to get pregnant.

Liu Tao naturally didn’t mind creating a nation, anyway, as long as he followed the concept of being a king in the border counties.

Either you are a king or have no status. You can't blame your father for being ruthless or not restricting your civil and military professions. If you don't help taking the imperial examination in the military, you can give some money to buy some land and live a small life as a landlord.
