Seeing that Liu Chan was very curious about the Roman Empire, Sallotto was also stunned and asked, Your Majesty, your ambition is too big.
Although you have now captured the royal capital of Sassanid, as well as the three cities of Assyria and Medes, the entire Sasanian dynasty has not surrendered yet.
Why did you start thinking about the Roman Empire?
"Return to Your Majesty!" Salotto said: "The Roman Empire has experienced some changes of emperors in the past few years, and there are some signs of decline;" He paused as he spoke.
He looked at Liu Chan and then said: "But last year, with Philip's accession to the throne, the chaos in Rome was revived, and now the Roman Empire has become very powerful again."
"Oh!!!" Liu Chan nodded slightly. He had not thought about what he wanted to do to the Roman Empire. Besides, the Han army did not have the ability yet.
But now the distance between the Han Dynasty and Rome is getting closer and closer,
He had to learn more about this powerful neighbor. After all, the Roman Empire in history was also a powerful dynasty with many giants and powerful men.
"The Roman Empire... was also a slave country?" Liu Chan asked casually.
"Back to Your Majesty!" Sallotto nodded: "Yes!"
Similar to historical records, the development of human history and slavery lasted for a long time. However, in comparison, the Central Plains Dynasty got out of this period faster. According to historical records, after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the slavery system in the Central Plains gradually
Disappear.
But the slavery system in West Asia and Europe will continue for a long time.
After talking about Rome, Liu Chan smiled and asked: "By the way, Salode, why didn't you come to see me with your beloved?"
After all, they are relatives, so there is no point in discussing national affairs all the time.
Besides, the big Han is now in Sassanid territory,
There are still many things to do. As for the Roman Empire, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to provoke, it is better for us to live in peace.
Salode is the younger brother of Salotto and the older brother of Princess Samis. If he had not met him on the street when he was in Chang'an, Liu Chan would not have known the three siblings.
Salotto said: "Back to Your Majesty, I will return with the goods in advance. Salode should come to see Your Majesty next month!"
"Okay!" Liu Chan nodded, and then said: "Ai Qing, would you like to give up business and join politics?"
Liu Chan is in great need of talents, especially Sassanid talents. Although he has recruited people who know Chinese before, the number is still too few. This time, many people were lost due to the abolition of slavery.
At present, in the city of Ctesiphon, the Sasanians working for the imperial court,
There are only more than 300 people.
Liu Chan looked at Salotto with some expectancy. After all, this man was his brother-in-law, so his trust level was naturally much higher than that of other Sasanians.
Sallotto was also stunned.
After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister with little talent and little knowledge. I only know how to do business, but I am not very good at being an official."
Salotto said this deliberately. Who doesn’t want to be an official in this era?
Although it stands to reason that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is his brother-in-law, there is a saying among the Han people that accompanying an emperor is like accompanying a tiger. You have to be cautious when talking and doing things with the emperor, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Liu Chan smiled: "My dear, there is no need to be modest. I have just entered Sassanid as a Han Dynasty, and the surrounding city-states have not yet surrendered." Liu Chan said, sighing: "Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and your dear is my royal relative.
Don’t shirk it for no reason.”
"Your Majesty!" Sallotto didn't know how to answer.
Liu Chan continued: "Although I am the emperor of the Han people, I treat the Sasanians equally, and I only want peace in the world. Whether they are Sasanians, Han people or people of other races, I hope that everyone will
You can live in a peaceful world."
"Aiqing is a Sasanian and is more familiar with Sassanid than I am!" Liu Chan looked at Salotto and said, "Next, I hope Aiqing can make some contribution to the stability of the world!"
Liu Chan had already said this, and if Sallotto tried to shirk it again, it would appear that he was ignorant of current affairs. However, before Sallotto agreed, he still asked: "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't know, should I ask it?"
”
"Of course!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "You can ask me whatever you want!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sallotto saluted and then asked: "Your Majesty has now entered Ctesiphon. How do you plan to recover and govern the entire Sasanian city-state?"
Now the Han army has captured the capital of Sassanid, but not many surrounding city-states have surrendered. Only a few smaller city-states have surrendered, and those with stronger forces and farther away have no intention of surrendering.
Big man.
Even those small city-states began to waver because the Han Dynasty abolished slavery in Assyria, Media, and Ctesiphon. According to Salotto's understanding, several small city-states that had already surrendered have now appeared.
Betrayed.
Liu Chan paused when he heard this and asked deliberately: "I wonder what your advice is?"
Liu Chan has also been thinking about this matter, because this is something that the Han Dynasty continues to solve. There are hundreds of city-states in Sasanian territory. The Han Dynasty wants to incorporate Sassanid into the territory of the Han Dynasty, but it will take some effort.

Sallotto frowned. Originally, he wanted to hear the emperor's thoughts, but he was asked back by the emperor. He thought for a moment, and then said: "Reporting to your majesty, I thought that I wanted other city-states to surrender to your majesty." As he said, he
After a pause, he then said: "Your Majesty must agree that except for the three cities of Media, Assyria, and Ctesiphon, other city-states can continue to retain the slavery system."
"Impossible!" Liu Chan immediately said seriously: "Slavery must be abolished throughout the Sassanid territory, and all subjects in the world must be equal. This is the national policy of the Han Dynasty and will never be changed."
Liu Chan's tone was so serious that Sallotto was shocked.
"Your Majesty... If this is the case..." Sallotto frowned and said, "If this is the case, other city-states may not surrender and will fight to the death against the Han."
Salotto knows Sassanid very well. The Sassanid people have been slaves for generations. Although he also knows that if the slave system is abolished and the Han rule this land, the people will definitely side with the Han.

The three cities of Ctesiphon are typical examples.
However, these three cities were able to achieve their current situation only through bloodshed. These are only three cities, but there are hundreds of such city-states in Sassanid. In each of these city-states, there are many large and small slaves.
Lords and nobles.
Abolition of the slavery system means standing on the opposite side of the slave owners and nobles. They will definitely confront the Han army for their own interests.
"Those who obey the Han Dynasty will prosper, and those who go against the Han Dynasty will perish!" Liu Chan said in a deep voice.
Liu Chan naturally knew about Sallotto's concerns, but the slavery system must be abolished, because the Han army was an outsider. If it could not get the support of the people at the bottom, even if it got the support of these slave owners and nobles, the Han army would not be able to do anything here.
It is difficult to survive on a piece of land for a long time.
Because if we compromise with these slave owners now, and wait until the whole territory surrenders in the future, it will be more difficult to abolish this system than it is now. If it is not abolished, it will be a time bomb that will destroy the dynasty in the future.
The two Jin Dynasties are a typical example.
After meeting Saluto, Liu Chan met Xu Shu again and made new plans for the next development in Sasan.
Three years——
Liu Chan set a three-year plan for Xu Shu.
First, the Han army should not expand to the surrounding areas within three years, but first stabilize the three cities it has occupied; second, vigorously develop agricultural production so that the liberated people can see the changes brought to them by the Han; third, fully promote the Chinese language
, so that the three cities can be connected from top to bottom; finally, within three years, it is necessary to form an army based on the Sasanians and loyal to the Han Dynasty.
In the next three years, Assyria, Media, and Ctesiphon were very busy. Several ministers who joined Liu Chan in the Western Expedition worked in a divided and coordinated manner.
Xu Shu and Guan Xing were in charge of Taixifeng, Xu Shu was in charge of internal affairs, and Guan Xing was in charge of military affairs;
Ma Di and Zhang Bao were in charge of the Assyrian city. Ma Di was in charge of internal affairs and Zhang Bao was in charge of military affairs;
Jiang Wan and Guo Huai were in charge of Media City, Jiang Wan was in charge of internal affairs, and Guo Huai was in charge of military affairs;
The remaining Guo Wei, Jiang Wei, Zhao Tong, Tian Mu, Guan Suo, Chen Xin and others are busy recruiting and training soldiers.
Liu Chan was very relaxed. He stayed in the Golden Palace every day and fell in love with the imperial concubine Wang Yuanji in the Palace of Ctesiphon. Three years later, Wang Yuanji gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for Liu Chan. Liu Chan named them Liu respectively.
Si, Liu Nian, means missing Chang'an.
Three years is neither a long time nor a short time.
Just because Taixifeng and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart, and there are also large and small city-states in between that have not surrendered, Liu Chan originally wanted to send people from the northern Gobi back to the Central Plains to understand some of the changes in the Central Plains in recent years.
It’s just a pity!
Because the Han army entered the Median Plain from the northern Gobi and captured Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sassanid Dynasty, those northern city-states that were unwilling to surrender to the Han actually began to station troops in the Gobi.
Han Chinese——
Now that you have invaded our Sassanid state, you can no longer have any contact with the Han people in the Central Plains and will trap you damn Eastern Han people to death!
