Chapter 396 Taixi comes to envoy
The so-called civilized ingredients are not in one step, nor can they be in one step. The first batch of civilized ingredients to be launched are still official.
The Great Xia Empire will establish a new ministry department to take charge of sea and land transportation. The first batch of civilian elements are not owned by civilian individuals and belong to this ministry department.
This department is the tenth department under the two courts of the Imperial Yige, the Ministry of Transportation. Its status is the same as that of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Commerce, Mo, and Works. It is in charge of the imperial transportation system.
After the road traffic system entered the process, the department entered the construction process. Now it has begun to operate.
This is the first step in civilizing the corpus. It is led by the empire and guided by the first step.
Now every step taken by the Great Xia Empire is a historic step, a brand new step. New means that there are no old examples. Without old examples, there is no place to refer to. A reasonable system must be guided by the empire official and the production capacity of the components reaches a certain level before it can be fully deployed among the people.
For a period of time, the transportation of components will be dominated by the empire. Only when the time is right will it be gradually opened to individuals.
A new territory is blank in every aspect. The disposal of Yingzhou is about population and resources, but it is difficult to count if you continue to refine it.
However, Daxia has great experience in this area, so it is not difficult to deal with it. Whether it is the previous Monan grassland or Chaozhou, they have accumulated a lot of experience.
Whether a country meets the 95th standard can actually be easily seen from foreign wars. Whether it can make money in war is one of the very obvious criteria.
The dynasties of all dynasties have gradually expanded from the founding kings, which is a process of making money in war. When he cannot make money in war, he has no profit in a war, or even loses money, then the dynasty must have reached its limit and has no ability to continue to rise and continue to expand.
The Empire's battle against Yingzhou was a complete profit. It took only one and a half months to mobilize 140,000 troops, and what it gained was a state-level territory with nearly 20 million people and countless resources such as gold and silver deposits. No matter how you compare, you will make a profit without losing.
War is necessary. It is either the purpose of interests or forced. Without interests and has not been forced, it should be called a war of justice. It should be interpreted here as a war without meaning, rather than a war without morality.
When the center came up with a plan for Yingzhou's handling, Ying Yi no longer paid too much attention to how Yingzhoumu did it. Ying Yi only looked at the results. If you do it well, you will naturally make achievements. If you do it poorly, you will naturally be punished.
The arrival of several missions took the center of the empire away from the disposal of Yingzhou.
In early September of the third year of the Chinese New Year, the Guangzhou Governor urgently reported to the center, saying that the Western European barbarians sent envoys to visit, landed in Guangzhou, and were waiting at the Guangzhou Post Office.
The establishment of the imperial transportation system greatly reduced the spatial barrier between the local and the central government. The beginning of civilized instruments reduced the spatial barrier to within one day.
The Thai delegation arrived in Guangzhou at noon the day before, and the Guangzhou governor's report was in the hands of Ying Yi.
Of course, Ying Yi himself was still dissatisfied with this. It was not that he was dissatisfied with the Guangzhou Mu, but that he was dissatisfied with the communication delay. The central Yuanling Tianyan had just come up with a specific plan to lay a humanitarian communication system, but it had not yet been implemented.
"If it is realized, what happened in Guangzhou can be reported to the center in time." Ying Yi put down the Guangzhou Governor's report and smiled at Yan Ermei on the side.
As the supervisor of the Humanitarian Supervision Bureau, Yan Ermei can be said to be the closest official to the emperor. Therefore, he knew many things earlier than Zheng Yunzhi, such as the humanitarian communication system.
"Your Majesty, I often have the illusion of being in a dream." Yan Ermei said: "If the road traffic system is still visible and tangible, the humanitarian communication system will be confused."
Ying Yi laughed: "Yongqing has also studied the Yuan Fu, and the wonder of Yuan Qi. How can you be confused?"
Yan Ermei said: "It's just that the old and new changes too quickly. Your Majesty."
Ying Yi nodded: "Just adapt."
Then he said: "Taixi sent envoys to visit. What do you think about this?"
Yan Ermei said: "It's nothing more than temptation, Your Majesty." He said: "Your Majesty is ambitious, and the pace of the empire's expansion has never stopped for a moment. Now, in the northern desert, the Western Regions, Tibet, South Vietnam and the South Ocean, the empire is tangled with all forces. Especially in the Nanyue, South Ocean and south of Tibet, the body poisons of the various forces in Taixi are the tentacles of the barbarians. Daxia has moved their interests, so they of course can't sit still."
Ying Yi nodded and smiled, "Yes. Although Taixi and Shenzhou are far away, they have exchanged their relationships all the time. In the previous dynasty, they taught them to suffer losses. They have a certain understanding of Shenzhou. Maybe they are not detailed, but they must know that Shenzhou is not comparable to those natives on the islands of Nanyang. Therefore, they must be afraid. They are afraid of it and the journey is long, so they dare not start a war directly. However, my Daxia has damaged the interests of the barbarians in Taixi, so they must be tempted first, see my attitude, touch the foundation of Daxia, and then decide how to deal with it."
Yan Ermei said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Ying Yi laughed: "Since they are here to find out, let's have a good look for them."
Then he said: "Print an imperial edict and tell the Guangzhou governor to be generous."
Yan Ermei understood: "Abide by the emperor's order."
...
The station system was the initial communication system of the empire. The so-called ten miles and one post in Daxia is mainly used to convey information, deliver letters, and to passers-by, pedestrians, and accommodation, not just for official services.
The station system was established very early. The previous dynasty left a deep foundation, so it was not difficult to reopen the station system.
At the beginning, the post station was divided into officials and civilians. There was a difference between the internal and external courtyards. The inner courtyard of the post station was used for officials, and was used to convey reports from the central residence, edicts, local reports, reception of officials, external envoys, etc. The outer courtyard was the place where the people went to business and rest and convey letters from home.
The distribution of inns is extended according to the main road traffic road of the Empire.
With the change of the empire situation, the functions of the post stations gradually changed. The biggest change is that the post stations at the level of the palace and above gradually became stations.
There are two states and prefecture-level inns, that is, the same state, the prefecture, and two inns inside and outside. One is in the city and the other is on the main avenue outside the city. The one in the city is for the government, belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and the one outside the city is for civil and stations, and belongs to the Ministry of Transport.
After the Taixi delegation arrived in Guangzhou, they were arranged to rest in the inn in the city.
This time, the Thai mission that came from thousands of miles has five components, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France and England.
