The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 396
Spring planting and farmland reclamation in Hejian County are already hurrying up, as are Linchuan County and Linchuandong County. After the expansion of Xinguo's land area, food is still the top priority.

The various official roads in Xinguo are already busy with countless carriages and wagons.

The troops at Qinglong Pass were basically all withdrawn, leaving only a small number of troops. Now Qinglong Pass is useless, so naturally there is no need to send troops to station.

At this moment, several carriages left the Qinglong pass along the road and headed north.

Lin Xiangru and several lobbyists in Dianke's official office were all in the carriage and went straight to Guangling County.

"Prime Minister, why do you need to go there in person on this visit?"

In the carriage, a lobbyist's face was full of confusion. After His Majesty gave the order before, he did not expect Lin Xiang to go in person.

Lin Xiangru opened the curtain of the window on the carriage, and saw only the green plains, people of Xinguo grazing, herds of cattle, sheep and horses, and the official roads extending to both sides were submerged in the green grass.

Lin Xiangru looked back, and the development of Pingyuan County will gradually improve.

"Because Your Majesty doesn't understand that a country like Liang Guo is a great threat to our Xin Guo. In Liang Guo's eyes, our Xin Guo is not worth mentioning. If Liang Guo wants to, he can directly Flatten my new country."

"Lin Xiang, can't you? Is that an exaggeration?"

"Exaggeration? No, it's not an exaggeration. The current military strength of our new country is only more than 7 people, while the military strength of Daliang country is already 10,000+, fully twice that of our new country. Another one, there may be some civil servants and generals in Liang Guo. In this case, our new country must make good friends with Liang Guo and show our own attitude. Naturally, the status of envoys of Liang Guo should not be too low. Lu Zhonglian I have already gone out to carry out the rest of His Majesty's imperial decree, no one can temporarily take over this position, I can only go there in person."

The lobbyist nodded thoughtfully: "But Lin Xiang, you just said that our Xinguo is not worth mentioning in their eyes, so if this is the case, even if we go to visit so solemnly, they will not Pay attention to us."

Lin Xiangru shook his head: "It's not asking them to pay attention, but to enhance their goodwill toward us, so that one day, if the Liang Kingdom wants to send troops to our new country, it will also consider it to a certain extent."

"So that's it. Lin Xiang is indeed Lin Xiang."

Several carriages continued to move forward, driving very fast on the official road, and along the official road and the city for supplies, but in just two days, they arrived directly at Lie County.

Then go north from Lie County, and after passing a low mountain, a basin appears in front of you.

The entire terrain of Guangling County is similar to hills and mountains, and there are also plains. There are many plains, which can be regarded as mixed terrain.

There are a total of three cities in this basin in the south of Guangling County. Soldiers have already been stationed. After Lin Xiangru and his carriage entered the city, they took a rest and divided into two teams. One team went to Hei Country, and the other team went to Liang country.

Starting from the city in the basin, heading north all the way, there were cavalry guards from the Xin Kingdom, passing through some small countries, and some horse thieves and bandits. Lin Xiangru's team finally arrived at the Kingdom of Liang.

Looking from a distance, he saw the majestic pass city. This pass looked majestic and majestic, far beyond the simple Qinglong Pass. Even on this pass, Lin Xiangru saw catapults and crossbows. City equipment.

"Liang Guo is indeed majestic, but this is just a pass."

Lin Xiangru, who lifted the curtain of the carriage, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although Xinguoxin annexed Pingyuan County, expanded its territory and was very prosperous, compared with Daliang Kingdom, it is still one underground and one heaven.

The soldiers guarding the city had already stepped forward, and at the same time a petty official came over. A civil official from Xinguo handed in the document. The petty official glanced at it, stamped it with a seal, and said, "Go in."

When the carriage entered the territory of Liang State, Lin Xiangru also observed it all the way, and there was a small official of Liang State accompanying him on horseback.

"Starting from here, going west and then north, it will take almost two days to reach the capital of our Daliang Kingdom."

There was some pride in the little official's words.

Lin Xiangru smiled and said: "Daliang is indeed a big country."

The little official smiled: "That's natural. My Daliang Kingdom is known as the number one in Guangling County, and no one dares to be the second. Even if you look at the other counties and counties except Guangling County, they are pretty good. Like you I don’t know how many envoys from such countries have come to our Daliang country.”

Lin Xiangru nodded with a smile: "That's natural, but my new country is still a little different."

The little official glanced at Lin Xiangru: "In my opinion, Daliang, there is no difference. You will know when you get to the capital. I don't know how many small countries like you are."

Along the official road, all the way to the imperial capital, Lin Xiangru also saw the farms of Daliang State on the way. He saw that the farms were continuous, with fields and fields. Many people were walking on the ridges with hoes, and more people were walking on Work, the big buffalo mooed.

Another two days later, Lin Xiangru came to the imperial capital of Daliang Kingdom, and what appeared before him was a city much larger than Nanxian County. Standing on a hilltop in the distance, one side of the city wall was more than a few feet tall. After [-] meters, before entering the city, they came to the four outer gates, and the inns, taverns, and streets at these four outer gates were bustling and bustling, with a lot of noise and hawking, no different from the inner city.

The little official took them to Honglu Temple and told the official in charge of Honglu Temple, and after the handover was over, the official took a look and looked up at Lin Xiangru.

"There is no place to stay. You can go to an inn in the city to find one. Before you go to court tomorrow morning, just remember to come to Honglu Temple and wait for the summons."

A Xinguo official who accompanied him couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "I'm not kidding, let's go to the inn in the city, this is still Honglu Temple."

"Because it is Honglu Temple, I let you go to the inn. Honglu Temple is full for the time being, and there is no room for you. Of course, if you want to see it, you can see it. If you don't see it, forget it. There are no rooms."

The official said calmly, his face calm and not angry.

Lin Xiangru also noticed that these officials, including the little official before, had a faint arrogance on them, and he understood this arrogance very well.

"Okay, then let's go to the hotel and we will come back tomorrow."

"Well, remember to come early, otherwise we won't be able to find anyone, and we won't wait when it's out of date."

Lin Xiangru nodded.

The group of people went out again, and the accompanying officials were still a little annoyed: "Sir, this person really went too far."

"Don't bring emotions into diplomacy."

Lin Xiangru glanced at him: "We are here as an envoy, and it is normal for envoys to be angry. A weak country has no diplomacy. Compared with Liang, we are now a weak country, you know?"
