The Lihua Hall is located in the palace. It is usually used as a place for major celebrations and to entertain important foreign guests. However, in the past, only very few foreign guests could be entertained here, so it was only used a few times throughout the year.
Today, it was carefully decorated to receive Cui Mu from the Dragon Kingdom.
All matters have been prepared long ago, and the banquet can begin as soon as people arrive. Silk and bamboo ritual music is played, and the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious.
Dali prepared for a period of time in advance. Yunjing's consciousness clone who stayed in Dali provided information about Cui Mu. Dali organized some targeted programs in an effort to satisfy Cui Mu.
It’s not that I’m deliberately trying to please you. In fact, the gap between the two countries is too big. I don’t want merit but want no fault so as not to make the other party dissatisfied. After all, if Cui Mu is dissatisfied, he can go back and complain a few words to do something about it when he built the domain gate.
It was Dali who lost his limbs. Although the possibility of that was extremely slim, it was a highly public matter for the family and the country. However, it all depended on manpower. Who can say clearly.
Maybe people don’t know about Dali’s diplomatic relations with the most powerful country in the world, but it’s no secret that anyone with some energy in Dali has no right to get close to Cui Mu when they greet him, but during the banquet, anyone who has
I've tried every possible means.
You don't have to guess what these people have in mind. Some of them are thinking about their country, some are here to admire the guests from the Dragon Kingdom, some are here to show off their faces, and some are thinking about how much benefit they can get in the future.
The human heart is always complex, and it is impossible for everyone to be selfless. It is precisely because there are all kinds of people that they constitute a complex variety of sentient beings.
Therefore, at the banquet where Cui Mu and the others were found, almost all the civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above from Dali Capital were present. Even officials from various places who were dispatched found excuses to arrive early.
There are so many people who want to come that even Emperor Xia Ziyang cannot easily refuse. After all, if one is allowed to come but not another, the minds of those who cannot come will always be unbalanced, which is not conducive to the stability of the court.
When Yunjing and the others arrived, Cui Mu faced hundreds of pairs of eyes. His heart suddenly felt as comfortable as drinking a glass of ice water in the dog days of summer, but he said: "Your country is too polite. Cui Mu is no more than a mere formation master from the Ministry of Industry."
, how dare you work hard and mobilize the masses, you deserve it."
He has a sense of superiority as a member of the Dragon Kingdom. Maybe he doesn't dare to show off his face in front of Yunjing, but it's a different matter for others. But with so many people here in Dali entertaining him at the banquet, he feels that this is against him.
His attention and respect are still very useful in his heart.
"Haha, what did Mr. Cui say? I'm worried that too many people will disturb your mood." Xia Ziyang smiled, but he felt relieved. With so many people, the other party was not unhappy but obviously very happy. This is
good.
Cui Mu complained: "Your Majesty, you can't say anything. It would be bad if Cui delayed everyone's business."
"Mr. Cui is serious, please," Xia Ziyang stretched out his hand and said, thinking that this person is arrogant and obviously likes to be supported. Well, it is not difficult to get along with such a person as long as he has a good temperament.
After all, he is an emperor, and he has a good grasp of people's hearts. Otherwise, how can he manage a country with so many talented people? The emperor's mental skills are secretly passed down by the royal families of all dynasties, and the people have no access to them at all!
The guests were seated and the banquet began. Of course, the main members were Yun Jing and the others, and the others were all accompanying guests. If they were not named, they would not even be qualified to interrupt.
This is just a banquet for Cui Mu and the courtesy for Yun Jing's return. It is not a negotiation table where we don't talk about business, just eat, drink and enjoy the performance. Have fun as you like.
The scene was very harmonious. Almost all of them were human beings. There was no such thing as refrigeration. We chatted for a few days. There was nothing much to say in Dali. On the contrary, people learned a lot about the situation in the Dragon Kingdom and even the world from Cui Mu.
Gradually, people have a vague impression of the world outside Dali.
How should I put it, the more people understand the outside world, there is always an unknown emotion in their hearts, yearning and confusion, low self-esteem and dissatisfaction, very contradictory.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Yun Jing could probably guess what they were thinking. When Da Li was about to walk out, these were all necessary processes.
As Dali moves out of this small place and looks at the rapid development of the world, there will always be some people who cannot keep up with the pace. Such people will eventually be eliminated and will not be able to reap the dividends of development.
No one dared to cause trouble during the dinner, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The banquet lasted from noon to evening, with singing, dancing, opera and other performances taking turns. Even though Cui Mu had seen almost all kinds of world-famous performances in Long Kingdom, Dali's performance was still refreshing to him. It was something he had never seen before.
Cui Mu was happy, and everyone was happy, which made Yunjing couldn't help but sigh, when will Dali be able to force others to be happy? Instead of now, when the guests are unhappy, he feels uneasy.
This is a gap between countries. It has nothing to do with Yunjing itself and Cui Mu. They cannot be confused.
Cui Mu drank a lot of wine during the banquet, and he was eighty percent drunk at the end. Naturally, he could not be said to be drunk because of his cultivation level in the mythical realm, but he could still drink it if he didn't take the initiative to sober up.
Enjoyable.
Wine barrel, people can't help but feel speechless.
Almost all the fine wines collected by the Dali royal family were handed over here, and it was not a matter of heartache. Cui Mu was satisfied that everything was worth it. No matter how precious the fine wines were, they were just consumables.
The drunk Cui Mu did not go crazy, but casually went to the place where Dali had arranged for him to rest.
"Brother Yun, I'm going to rest first. Let's get together when we have time." Cui Mu greeted Yun Jing drunkenly when he left.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "We have plenty of time and it's rare to come here. If Brother Cui is interested, you might as well look around in the past few days. There are many places worth visiting in Dali."
"Okay, then I'll look around in the next few days and leave first," Cui Mu said, waving his hand.
Yunjing nodded and said: "Okay, I won't send it away. I will arrange a guide for you. By the way, Brother Cui, regarding the construction of the domain gate, we will arrange to communicate with you as soon as possible to confirm it."
"Haha, don't be in a hurry, you can discuss it slowly, no more than ten days and a half," Cui Mu said nonchalantly, waved his hand and left to rest.
Watching the exchange between Yunjing and Cui Mu, people understood that the reason why Yunjing was so easy to talk to was purely for Yunjing's sake. Otherwise, if they came to this small place like Dali and asked him to do something, they might have made things difficult for him.
Take the construction of the domain gate as an example. Cui Mu had to coax him with a smile even though he had been delayed for several years. He had no choice but to do it because Dali needed him to do something.
This can't help but make many people feel confused. Yunjing is only twenty years old. Before he knows it, the ship of Dali has to be protected by him. Yunjing's importance now is even greater than that of Dali in the past.
Fuck most wives!
Even if Yunjing is not much different from Liu Neng who has achieved enlightenment and freedom, after all, although he has achieved enlightenment and freedom, he immediately left the world and went to other areas, which did not really bring any tangible benefits to Dali.
Of course, people do not deny that it was Liu Neng who turned the tide and turned the tide when the country was almost destroyed. People can still distinguish the temporary from the long-term and cannot confuse them together.
Cui Mu left, and the banquet officially ended, but for Yunjing and others present, many things really began.
"Jing'er, you have come back from a long journey, why don't you go and rest first, and we can talk about other things after you have rest?" Li Qiu looked at Yun Jing and said, he was full of alcohol before, but now he is feeling refreshed.
, after all, if you want to do business, you have to stay awake, so he got rid of his drunkenness as soon as Cui Mu left.
It was tacitly agreed that we would discuss business matters next, but we had to consider Yun Jing's emotions after returning from a long trip, so it was only natural for Li Qiu to say this. As Yun Jing's master, Li Qiu didn't have so many scruples.
Well, let alone taking care of Yunjing's emotions, Yunjing had to take the initiative to cooperate.
Yunjing turned around and said seriously: "Master, I'm okay. There are many things that should be done sooner rather than later. We have to discuss and come up with a charter as soon as possible."
"In that case, let's talk about business first," Li Qiu nodded.
Xia Ziyang was still very touched. Yunjing's current achievements still adhered to his duty and even put his family and country first. It was embarrassing to say that Dali didn't even have anything to offer him in return.
Give him the title of Master and be respected by the whole country? With what Yunjing has done, of course it is more than enough, but he himself is unwilling. The reason is that he is too young and inappropriate...
With his thoughts flickering, Xia Ziyang said: "Then let's go to the council hall."
"Yes," Yunjing said with a salute.
So the next group of people headed towards the council hall, but those who passed were all important officials of the court. Most of them were not qualified to participate. But those who were qualified to go could be said to be enough to influence the entire Dali pattern.
Xia Ziyang, Yun Jing, Huang Changyang, the important personnel of the Six Ministries...all these people together only amount to ten or twenty people.
When they arrived at the council hall, Xia Ziyang gave everyone a seat and ordered his servants to bring tea and snacks.
After arranging everyone, everyone's attention was focused on Yunjing. After all, what was going to happen next was related to Dali's future destiny. It was caused by Yunjing. They didn't even know the details. Only Yunjing could lead this.
meeting.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yunqing. I once again thank you for your efforts on behalf of Dali. Next, you will explain the specific situation to everyone. If you have any suggestions or requests, please feel free to make them. We will discuss whether it is feasible." Xia Ziyang said
Said the opening remarks.
Yun Jing stood up and saluted: "In this case, I will be bold."
After Xia Ziyang quickly signaled to Yun Jing to sit down and talk, he then sat down and said quietly: "Next, Wei Chen is going to say several things, which are very important. Everyone listens first. How about the details later?
"discuss"
There were already several clerks standing nearby with pens in hand, ready to start recording at any time.
No one interrupted, Yun Jing said: "What I am mainly talking about is the following points. The first is the construction of the Domain Gate. This is an urgent problem that needs to be solved at present. Only when the Domain Gate is established can other matters really start. Regarding the construction of the Domain Gate,
, this does not need us to worry about, the materials and manpower are provided by Longguo. Cui Mu and the others came here specifically to take charge of this matter. Although we do not need to worry about this matter, the financial and material resources spent to build the domain gate are our biggest.
Li and Long Guo are jointly responsible for this. We don’t need to consider this for the time being. I have already made a charter with Long Guo. Our share of Da Li will be paid in the future exchanges between the two countries. Now about this, we have to consider
The question is where and when to build the Domain Gate. The imperial court will discuss and come up with a plan. Wei Chen will not participate, but Wei Chen would like to remind you that the Domain Gate can not only connect Dali and Long Kingdom, but also
It can connect to any domain gate. Through the domain gate, people and things can be said to be just around the corner. Let’s not talk about the convenience. Everyone should be aware of the risks involved. The stakes are too important to be careless..."
Speaking of this, Yunjing gave them a general introduction to the various situations of the Domain Sect, allowing them to have an intuitive understanding. No one interrupted during the process, but almost all of them had expressions of emotion, and their hearts were horrified by the unheard-of situation of the Domain Sect.
means.
Yunjing has explained clearly the various situations of the domain gate. He will not be involved in the specific location of the construction. The court needs to consider all aspects to determine the location. It cannot be just where Yunjing says. Safety and convenience must be taken into consideration.
.
Although he was not involved in the determination of the specific location, Yunjing probably knew that the domain gate would not be built in the capital, and a new area would probably be divided. Once the location was determined, it would be the most important core location in Dali outside the capital in the future!
Tsk tsk, if you do it well, you will definitely be able to take a piece of meat from those big dog owners. There are all human beings here, so there is no need for Yunjing to remind you of this.
Then Yunjing continued: "Secondly, once the domain gate is established, we in Dali will be able to truly communicate in various senses with the Dragon Kingdom and even all the countries in the world. For now, we can only communicate with people outside this area.
For the Dragon Kingdom’s diplomatic relations, there is no need to consider other countries. It will not be too late to talk about those countries later. However, as the Dragon Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world, everyone knows that how to communicate with them is careless, but there is no need to lower your attitude too much.
We have already signed various general treaties with the Dragon Kingdom, and now we only need to perfect the details..."
"What I want to say is that after the domain gate is built, the Dragon Kingdom will send envoys over. How to receive them, arrange the consular office, and discuss various details with the other party. These all require the court to spend manpower and material resources to deal with. I suggest
Establish a special department to first contact the Dragon Kingdom to accumulate experience, and then start to contact other countries. This matter needs to be led by a reliable person. The task is heavy and the pressure is high. Wei Chen is just suggesting how to complete the matter.
According to the arrangement of the court"
Yunjing took a sip of tea after saying this, and then the secretary quickly recorded it.
Then Yunjing added: "Then, the credential of the Dragon Kingdom that was previously presented to your majesty has been stamped with the seal of the Dragon Kingdom. Your Majesty only needs to stamp the jade seal to truly establish diplomatic relations with the Dragon Kingdom. This is very important. If there is no
The process of stamping the seal is not complete. Don’t underestimate this move. In a sense, it is related to the destiny of the country and cannot be taken lightly.”
After a pause, Yunjing took out a booklet and handed it over and said: "Your Majesty, everyone, this is the list of gifts given by the Dragon Kingdom after the ministers went to the Dragon Kingdom to establish diplomatic relations. The gift-givers from the Dragon Kingdom have been brought back, and there they are.
On the ship, His Majesty will need to send someone to retrieve it next. He has no right to interfere with how to arrange the treatment. The minister would like to remind that the Dragon Kingdom has already given gifts. When the Dragon Kingdom envoys arrive, we will leave.
There is also a need to express something, and it must be prepared in advance, but there is no need to return the gift according to the other party's gift. To put it bluntly, we can't afford to go back, and others don't like it, so it's just what we want."
"Then again, it's about our Dali mission stationed in Longguo. There is our Dali Consulate House there, which can station an army. The number is not too large. The main thing is to maintain the stability of the consulate house, and the second is to arrange the officials of the mission.
, these imperial courts must be prepared in advance, and can be stationed there after the construction of the domain gate is completed, but the consul must be a reliable person, whose cultivation and character must be taken into consideration, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out things there.
Weichen will not be involved in the matter, and his previous identity as envoy must be handed over. It’s not that Weichen doesn’t want to worry about Dali, but there are more important things that need Weichen.”
"This has to be discussed next, and that is the issue of security. After the construction of the domain gate, security is the top priority. Although I have discussed with the Dragon Kingdom, it is stipulated that they cannot have more than two mythical realms entering at the same time.
Within my territory, you can’t imagine how many mythical realms there are in the world. It is true that two Dragon Kingdoms cannot come at the same time, but we in Dali have to contact other countries. There will always be mythical realms coming. Everyone understands that the existence of mythical realms is very important to us.
How big a threat is there to a country like ours, so Wei Chen’s main focus must be on taking control of Dali. It’s not that Wei Chen can’t trust Mr. Huang, it’s really unimaginable the methods of those mythical realms outside. If they come to Dali at the same time in the future
There are so many foreign myths and legends that I can’t guarantee that I can control them.”
"So this leads to the next matter, which is the management of the domain gate. It must still be left to reliable people. This involves my lifeline and cannot be careless. At the same time, when communicating with other countries in the future, clear provisions must be made.
There is an issue with the number of strong people coming and going, but don’t worry too much. Long Guo and I have made it clear that we each have half the initiative in the management of the domain gate. If we have to, we can just lift the table and destroy the domain gate!"
"In terms of security, Wei Chen will ask people to build a formation to protect the capital in the future. Such a formation must be able to withstand more than ten mythical realms attacking at the same time. Only when the safety of the capital is guaranteed can people feel at ease.
But this matter is not urgent. We have to go after next year. In the future, we in Dali will also cultivate talents in formations. All state capitals should be protected by formations. These are things for the future..."
Having said so much in one breath, Yun Jing's mouth was a little dry, but he was not done yet. Looking at the world from a small place, there were too many things going on in Da Li.
After handing over the general charter of the discussion with the Dragon Kingdom to everyone present to browse, Yunjing continued: "Things need to be resolved one by one. There is no room for sloppiness. We have to discuss it slowly. There is plenty of time. It's great to slow down. There is one more thing that needs to be reminded.
The thing is, when the domain gate is built, it will be the only one in this area. Do you all understand what this means? If the surrounding countries want to get on this train, how much benefit they can get from it needs to be considered by the court in advance. I
Dali cannot be used as a tool bridge for free. Of course, don’t worry that other countries will squeeze us out of Dali after they connect with the Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Kingdom is not that easy to get along with. To put it bluntly, it’s pointless.
If you are so capable, no one will bother to talk to you..."
One by one, Yunjing talked about the following matters for nearly an hour, and he only put forward the general direction and some suggestions. The specific matters were arranged, and there were no discussions among thousands of people.
Ten days and a half is impossible!
In fact, Yunjing feels a little melancholy. There are too few people available in Dali. The consul office in the Long Kingdom needs at least a mythical realm to be able to control the situation. Dali also needs people of this level, and they are still
The more the better, otherwise once the domain gate is opened, the Dragon Kingdom may disdain to leave this area, but other countries will inevitably covet it.
Secondly, the etiquette department in charge of diplomacy in Dali in the past is no longer suitable. Without people who can control the situation, it will be very difficult to communicate with other countries in the future. Then there are the people from the customary domain. This can be said to control the life and death of Dali. How can it be done?
Sloppy? In the future, the capital’s city defense formation will also need to be led by reliable people...
People are needed everywhere, but Dali lacks such reliable manpower. With full calculations, plus Yunjing itself, Dali only has three mythical realms, which is simply not enough.
Although Yunjing can leave a consciousness clone behind, to put it bluntly, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst. If something really happens, the consciousness clone will be a consumable at best. What if someone else is far away and can get back in time? It can be said that there is no way to do it.
It is undeniable that Dali will usher in a take-off in the world, but if the details are not handled well, big things will happen if we are not careful. Opportunities and risks coexist.
Moreover, Yunjing cannot stay in Dali forever. It’s not that the world is so big and he wants to see it. The main reason is that the disaster of foreign civilization has not been completely solved. How can he enjoy life with peace of mind?
The human race is still burdened with the curse. Now that foreign monsters have arrived, even the Dragon Kingdom has not been able to clear them out. If the curse problem is not solved, what kind of disaster will happen in the future?
However, in the critical human race crisis, what can Yunjing do? It is nothing more than to get rid of foreign monsters if they have the ability, and then work hard to improve themselves.
Uuchi, any problems will be solved at that time.
His mouth was dry as he spoke, and he roughly said everything worth noting. Yunjing then said: "Everyone, this is what I want to say. That's about it. The specific details still need to be discussed by the imperial court and come up with a charter.
What Wei Chen has proposed is only the general direction, and the details need to be discussed in detail on specific matters. If there is anything that requires Wei Chen's cooperation, feel free to propose it. We will do our best and never postpone it. Next, everyone, start, take your time, don't rush, and strive to be safe."
When Yun Jing finished speaking, the scene fell into silence for a while. There were too many things that they had to digest, and they didn't know which thing to start with.
After a while, Xia Ziyang broke the silence and said: "My dear friends, as Yun Qing said, things come one by one, so let's start with the construction of the domain gate. First determine where to build it, and put this
Let’s talk about other things after the matter is implemented. Where do you think it is appropriate to implement the domain gate? Everyone can speak freely and work together to ensure safety. Come and get the map of my great territory."
After a while, the map was unfolded, and everyone quickly looked at and thought about where it would be suitable to build the domain gate.
"I think that the location of the domain gate is convenient for transportation. After all, I will have trade exchanges with all countries in the world in the future. Only with convenient transportation can the mobilization of personnel and goods be carried out smoothly." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue thought for a moment and proposed.
My own opinion, I didn’t mention the specific location, I was still looking at the map.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry continued: "In addition to transportation, I feel that the surrounding resources must also be considered. It should be noted that the location of the domain gate will be the core of our country outside the capital in the future. Expansion is imperative. If the surrounding resources are not enough, expansion will be necessary."
It will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.”
"For security reasons, the location of the domain gate cannot be too far from the capital, nor is it too close. It needs to be easy to manage, and it must be able to mobilize troops at any time to prevent unexpected events." The Minister of War expressed his opinion.
Li Qiu, the Minister of Punishment, was indifferent and said: "I have no opinion on the specific location."
He is in charge of prisons and can just keep an eye on those with ulterior motives, so he doesn't have to worry about such things.
"Where's Yun Qing, what suggestions do you have?" After everyone put forward their opinions, Xia Ziyang did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Yun Jing and asked.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "You and your Majesty can just make up your mind, and I will not participate in the specific implementation."
His attitude was very clear and he was not involved in the specifics. No matter how much benefit exchange there was, it was none of his business.
"In this case, after considering all aspects, we should choose a place about three to five hundred miles around the capital to build the domain gate. There are only a handful of places that can be implemented like this," Xia Ziyang said thoughtfully.
"It's all up to Your Majesty to decide"
No one dares to take full responsibility for this matter.
"Let's talk about it, let's move on to the next item..." Xia Ziyang did not make an immediate decision, but changed the subject.
Next, we slowly discussed each item one by one. During the process, neither Yunjing nor Huang Changyang expressed specific opinions. Although their words were enough to play a decisive role, their level is the heritage of a country and they participate in specific courts.
The matter is inappropriate, will destroy the overall balance, and is not conducive to the stability of the country.
However, until dawn, everyone present did not really implement anything. On the contrary, everyone was a little exhausted.
Everything is too important. A little carelessness will lead to serious consequences. It is not easy to draw conclusions without discussing a complete plan. In short, it is impossible to implement a preliminary plan every three to five days.
come out.
This was also the first day back, so Yunjing had to take the lead, and it was hard to leave midway.
However, he did not plan to attend to the following specific matters. Once the court discussed the specific regulations, he would just notify him of any areas that required his cooperation.
After being out for so long, Yunjing planned to go home, staying away from the disputes in the court and avoiding suspicion at the same time. It was undeniable that when he was there, the court ministers couldn't do anything at all.
He proposed to go home, and both Xia Ziyang and the important officials in the court "tried their best to persuade him to stay". If he couldn't persuade him to stay, he had no choice but to leave Yunjing.
However, Yunjing still had some things to deal with before going back. He first discussed it with Huang Changyang and went to visit Cui Mu together. For the next period of time, Mr. Huang Changyang accompanied Cui Mu. Firstly, he had the purpose of watching him, and then
One person, no one else would be qualified.
Huang Changyang agreed wholeheartedly to this, but he complained about Yunjing. He stayed away to relax while letting him accompany the guests. Yunjing could only apologize and said that you are an old man who can work hard, and Huang Changyang scolded him for a while.
