The great emperor of crossing

"Let's finalize this matter. It will be announced after tomorrow morning, so that those officials who have not yet entered the job will participate. Whether they need high-ranking officials and generous salaries. According to the actual situation, after all, there is no reason for no reward if you don't pay. Understand!"

The next day, in the early court, Zhao Lie finally announced the news, and no one objected at all. Indeed, such a policy is harmless.

"Your Majesty, I think Donghu should also choose such a person to go out!"

An official who had just joined Menxia Province directly expressed his opinion, but this time he didn't know that the shameless decision had already been discussed.

"Donghu is different from other places. As early as the Warring States period, they had a lot of cooperation with Zhao Guo, so they still know the Central Plains better. If you send an unknown person to go directly, the final result It is likely that people ignored us."

Su Qin directly refuted the official's opinion, but he welcomed this spirit of speaking freely.

"Very good, this is the atmosphere that should exist in a court."

Zhao Lie at this moment is also very happy, he sees the possibility of a prosperous empire.

"Are there any other opinions? If the policy is promulgated without this policy, it will be for the entire officials anyway, and there will be no other losses."

After the show ended, the news was finally announced, but something very bleak happened.

Three days passed, and there was only one person who actually signed up. No one wanted to go to that kind of bitter cold place, especially those young people who felt that there was no reward for going to that kind of place, and they might die in a foreign country.

"I knew this would be the case, but what's the name of the person who signed up?"

"Your Majesty, his name is Zhang Qian!"

Zhang Yi still doesn't know how high the gold content of this name is.

"Zhang Qian?"

But this time Zhao Lie wasn't surprised, he just felt that his prediction was still so accurate, it seemed that doing anything in this world was stipulated.

"Your Majesty, do you know this person?"

"I don't know, maybe I've heard of this name before, you find him and send him here directly."

"promise!"

At this moment, Zhang Qian didn't know how much what happened next would affect him. He was still drinking with a group of people as before.

"Hey! I think you are really stupid. You dare to go to that kind of place? Aren't you afraid that you will never return?"

"Good men have ambitions in all directions, everyone, I think you should sign up enthusiastically. If you can come back, you must be a high-ranking official and rich salary. Isn't this what you have always dreamed of? Besides, the development of a country, if it is not for our young People are so enthusiastic, how can they move forward?"

Zhang Qian still didn't want to hear these remarks. Anyway, he was used to being independent, but in such a place, he still needed to make friends, so he was willing to drink with everyone.

"You are really a weirdo, but because you hang out with us every day, I won't scold you."

One of them was already half-drunk holding a jug. Although it was noon and the business of the restaurant was very good, this private room, which was reserved by them all the year round, had become a place where everyone often came to drink and comment on current affairs.

Suddenly, the door of the box was opened, and Zhang Yi appeared here, everyone was shocked.

"Shang! Master Shang Shuling! How did you come here?"

Everyone felt curious. It was indeed a little strange for such a high-ranking official to appear in such a restaurant.

"Zhang Qian, come with me, His Majesty wants to see you."

"see me?"

Zhang Qian suddenly felt overwhelmed. He didn't expect that he would meet the emperor one day.

"Go, what are you waiting for?"

Seeing that Zhang Qian was stunned, the others stepped forward and pushed.

"Oh! Yes! Your Majesty wants to see me, but am I really okay in this state?"

"You go to my house to change your clothes first. It's definitely not good to see His Majesty like this."

In the dormitory, Zhang Qian finally appeared in front of Zhao Lie after putting on a new dress.

"It's quite tall. It's really suitable to be an envoy. I just want to ask you a question. Why did you choose to go to the Western Regions? You should know that the reason those people don't go is because they are worried about any problems."

Zhang Qian was a little nervous and didn't dare to speak, so he could only lower his head.

"Don't be nervous, I'm human too, so I can speak straight!"

"Then I hope His Majesty will forgive me. Your words may anger Your Majesty."

"Okay! I forgive you for your innocence, let's talk!"

"Since the establishment of the Tianhua Empire, it has not been surrendered by the Quartet. The Hetao area was occupied, and the Baiyue Kingdom became the emperor. It is not because the empire is not strong, but because everyone does not know what is behind the strength. To put it bluntly, we These neighboring countries simply look down on the Tianhua Empire."

Zhang Qian looked at Zhao Lie, but found that Zhao Lie didn't mean to be angry, so he dared to continue speaking.

"Actually, His Majesty is only the Majesty of the seven countries at present. It may be just a joke in the eyes of others. Knowing that the true strength of the Tianhua Empire lies in its strong cultural and economic foundation, only in this way can it have an unshakable position, and the Xiongnu were beaten to the point of being unable to move by the Tianhua Empire, this is also something worth showing off."

"I didn't expect you to have such insight. Why didn't you pass the exam at that time? Or did you say that some officials were cheating for personal gain?"

Zhao Lie just felt that it was a pity that such talents should be reused.

"On the day of the exam, Chen fell ill, so I didn't finish the exam paper at that time!"

"It's a pity, it seems that the examination system is indeed going to be revised!"

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished my words yet!"

Seeing that Zhao Lie didn't look angry at all, Zhang Qian still spoke out what was in his heart.

"Actually, it is not enough to rely on the minister alone when going on an envoy to the Western Regions. There should be a fairly large cavalry team as the backing, which can demonstrate the strength of the empire, but there is a problem. Bandits will definitely be rampant on the road, so this has formed a Contradictory, so my suggestion is that this time the dress must be gorgeous, don't bring too many things, but the pattern must be complete!"

"Why?"

"As the saying goes, things are rare and expensive, and they don't cherish them if they bring a lot of things. Let them know that these things can only appear in the kingdom of heaven, so that many people will come to worship, and Chang'an will be successful." Become the world's largest metropolis!"

"Very well, you can choose this team by yourself. Just make a list of what to bring."
