Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1040

[Chapter 1032 Tubo surrenders]

Li Laosi was riding a tricycle on the clean and wide streets of Qingzhou City. What he carried on his car was an electric threshing machine.

After electricity became popular in Qingzhou, some simple electrical equipment also appeared, including the threshing machine he purchased this time.

However, he did not bear the cost of this purchase alone, but the village production team pooled the money together in order to be able to use this electric threshing machine to thresh rice after the autumn harvest.

Just when he was thinking that he would have a lot of energy left for this year’s autumn harvest, suddenly there was a strange drumming sound on the road ahead.

Then he saw some strangely dressed people carrying boxes of various sizes walking along the avenue towards the imperial city.

Seeing this team approaching, Li Laosi immediately gave way. In his opinion, this formation must be the envoys of a certain country. After all, the Japanese came to Qingzhou to pay tribute in this formation last year.

When they reached the outside of the road, Li Laosi asked a man dressed as a student, “What country’s envoy is this?”

“The newspaper said the day before yesterday that Tibet had surrendered, so this should be an envoy from Tibet.” The student said with pride. .

The empire is getting stronger and stronger, they see it in their eyes and are proud in their hearts.

Li Laosi immediately became happy when he heard this. He said, “Great, great. The barbarians have been destroyed, and now the Tibetans have surrendered. The enemies who bullied our Chinese Empire in the past have become cowards. I am relieved.” “

The student smiled and nodded, then he looked at the threshing machine on Li Laosi’s tricycle and said in surprise: “Uncle, your family is really rich. This is a tricycle and a threshing machine. You must have one. It’s a very big manor.”

“You’re stupid for studying. If I have so much money, why would I use it to board a tricycle? This is the collective property of the production team,”

he said, “Then you .

This production team is also very wealthy, and the prices of these two things are not cheap.”

After a pause, he continued, “But don’t you want to have your own big manor?”

“Who doesn’t want to have their own manor, but they don’t have money. .” Li Laosi sighed. As the empire expanded its territory, the land of the empire was now very rich, which also changed the way of life of the people of the empire.

Many people are no longer satisfied with their own one-acre land, but want to own their own manor. In addition, many people work in factories and the land is idle. In the past two years, the sale of land near Qingzhou has been very hot, and

there are many scattered pieces of land. Land was consolidated into large areas and built into large estates. The estate owners purchased slaves and agricultural machinery to cultivate these lands, which produced more food than their production teams.

Now, more and more people in their production team have this idea. After all, the income from farming is far less than the money earned from working in the factory. Many young people in the village are unwilling to work on the land. Instead, they ran to Qingzhou City. Those who wanted to farm could only become truly wealthy if they owned their own manor.

Seeing that everyone in the village gradually had their own manor of different sizes, Li Laosi was also very anxious. If he hadn’t lost all his family’s fortune in gambling in the past two years, he would have been able to buy a 500-acre land now. A small manor, after all, land in the empire is very cheap now.

The student noticed Li Laosi’s expression and said, “If you don’t have money, go to Australia. The land in Australia is the cheapest now. Of course, Siberia is also cheaper, but that place is too cold.”

“Australia?” Li Laosi bit. He gritted his teeth. In fact, he had been hesitant during this period because of the matter of migrating to Australia. After all, the land there was basically given away for free, and it was most suitable for poor people who wanted to own their own manor.

Looking at the tricycle and then at the threshing machine on the car, Li Laosi said bitterly: “Grandma, I, Li Laosi, will have these things sooner or later. I will fight hard and go to Australia this time.”

…

Zhengda In the Guangming Hall, Xiao Ming is waiting for the Tibetan envoy to visit him.

According to the news, the Tibetan envoy has now entered the city. In order to express his surrender to him in person, Dawa personally led the envoy here this time.

After all, according to Tubo, they no longer choose Zampu, and he will add the title of Tubo Zampu to the title of imperial emperor.

Under the Grand Highness, the cabinet and the capital officials from Qingzhou were all present. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles and they were happier than during the New Year.

Two big events this year have really overwhelmed them.

After resting for a while with his eyes closed, Xiao Ming soon heard the unique sound of Tibetan drums, and soon the eunuch came to report that the Tibetan envoy had arrived.

Nodding to Qian Dafu, Qian Dafu immediately shouted in a high voice: “Member of the Tibetan envoy.”

The officials also cheered up, and about ten minutes later Dawa led Demba to the Zhengda Guangming Hall.

When he arrived at the main hall, Dawa carefully looked at Xiao Ming who was sitting on the dragon chair, bowed and said: “Long live my emperor, Dawa, the Prime Minister of Tubo, has met His Majesty the Emperor, and today he is presenting his credentials. Since Tubo is willing to bow his head and take the title of minister, he will forever be honored.” No regrets.”

After saying that, Dawa presented his credentials with both hands and his attitude was humble.

At this time, Qian Dafu walked down and took out the credentials and gave them to Xiao Ming.

After reading it, Xiao Ming showed a satisfied smile and said: “Since Tubo is sincere, since then Tubo and the Chinese Empire have turned into enemies and will no longer fight each other. Since you are enshrined in this credential as my Zanpu, will you obey me from now on?”

“I will obey your Majesty,” Dawa said respectfully.

“Okay.” Xiao Ming said loudly: “Today you are here at a time when the empire’s administrative regions are being reformed. In this case, Tubo will be an autonomous province of Tibet from today on. From now on, it will not have its own army. Tubo’s security It will be protected by the Southwest Military Region of the Empire, and you must implement the imperial decree. Are you willing?”

Although Dawa didn’t understand the meaning of autonomous province, he understood the following points very well, which means that Tubo will completely become a province from now on. part of the empire.

However, he was already prepared for this. When he was in Duokang, the nobles had already started to argue. Compared with being an enemy of the empire, it was obviously more profitable to become a part of the empire.

“Then he said: “Your Majesty, we will follow your will. “Dawa said respectfully. After the Tubo nobles saw the terrible weapons of the empire, they could no longer raise the idea of resistance. Some nobles even feared that the imperial army would use sorcery. It is conceivable that they were attracted by Luo Xin. How frightened.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. After so many years of fighting, he finally allowed the empire to have the entire modern territory, and even millions more square kilometers.

Based on this, after Tubo surrendered. He decided to redefine administrative areas for administration
