The members of the envoys stranded in the Han territory can be arrested at any time, and they cannot pose any threat to the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Xiang didn't want to deal with them simply and roughly.

Why do we help them arrest criminals when their country has no complaints or seeking help?

If they take the initiative to send them back, it is not called showing kindness, it is called showing weakness. If they are cut off directly and are incompatible with the law, they have not violated the laws of the Han Dynasty. Exorcism is an act that hurts the credibility of the public. Once the law loses its credibility, it will not be able to restrain people's hearts. It is not worth it for a few people from other races.

Imperial power is above everything else and is the maker of rules. Therefore, we must maintain this set of rules more carefully than wantonly destroying them. Only fools will do so.

The current diplomatic strategy of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions is to trade, appease and win over. In order to better achieve this goal, people from the 36 countries in the Western Regions must know the power of the Han Dynasty and cannot use too radical means to arouse their defense.

Why is it so troublesome?

Because there are still 400,000 Xianbei in the north of the Mo, and because there are countless Qiang and Di tribes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and because the Southern Central has not yet been calmed down.

When it comes to threats to the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions cannot be ranked.

Liu Xiang will not forget the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China in history. Although in the current situation, it is basically difficult for foreign races to cause trouble to the great man, this does not prevent him from stifling those threats and slaughtering the infancy.

The Xianbei people in the north of the Mobei were attached to the Xiongnu, Jie people, Qiang people and Di people in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Yizhou, as well as the Qiang people and Di people who were not conquered on the plateau.

He was uneasy if he didn't kill all these people or completely Chineseized them.

Therefore, the Western Regions need to be appeased, and the best way to appease foreign tribes is to let them know your strength and yearn for your strength.

Then you can't use the method of war.

The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions all knew that the Han Dynasty was very powerful, but they didn’t know how powerful it was and where it was.

Therefore, Liu Xiang wanted them to come and see it themselves. He wanted to use the cultural superiority of the Han people to make the people of the Western Regions surrender from the bottom of his heart. When he conquered the Western Regions in the future, these people would become leaders.

It is impossible to have an expedition without a party leading the way. You will get lost and you will get half the result with twice the effort.

"Call all the envoys of the Western Regions who were stranded in the Han territory and let the people of Honglu Temple tell them that I have set a piece of land in the northern part of the city to allow envoys from various countries to stay. We can build houses for them without charging money, but they have to pay for their daily expenses themselves.

These people will do their best to make this happen.

When they settle in, they will send messages to various vassal states, allowing them to send envoys to stay permanently, and whether they come or not, as their wishes, anyway, several countries have already settled in. Some people are examples, or are afraid that neighboring countries will use this to grow up, and other countries will definitely send people."

Liu Xiang thought about it and named the place: "It's called the Minister's District. A village is built on the edge of the northern countryside outside the city. The Chang'an garrison sent several troops to garrison the guards. The Honglu Temple Dianke Office sent people to manage it. Each embassy built a large courtyard for them to accommodate the caravans for tribute, so as to avoid the crowded Honglu Temple in the city during the tribute."

He turned to ask Jia Xu: "Wenhe thinks this matter is feasible?"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is meticulous in thinking about what others dare not think about, and he dare not speak about what others dare not speak about what others dare not speak about!" Jia Xu felt that this matter didn't matter. It would be enough for the emperor to be happy. Anyway, he could not spend a lot of money, let alone any big trouble.

After hearing this, Liu Xiang felt a little surprised: "Why don't I know that Wenhe is so good at flattering?"

"That's because your Majesty doesn't understand me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Jia Xu has never liked to talk much in public and deliberately reduced his presence, but it is still very interesting in private.

The envoys of the Western Regions were just a small episode. Liu Xiang’s decision had been recorded and would be sent to the Secretariat to draft an edict. It would not take a year or two to play the role of the minister’s system, so there is no need to pay too much attention.

Today, Jia Xu presented the list of Wei's family banquets because he made rebellious words during the meal. He came to ask the emperor for instructions on what step to do? Should he only arrest Hu Zhao or send all the staff to the imperial prison.

Liu Xiang picked up the list again and asked, "What do Wenhe thinks about Yang Xiu?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, this person is very talented, but he is unruly and not calm enough."

"It's not just a rebellious person, but he's so arrogant. Hongnong's third generation of the Yang family is now a relative of the foreigners. Should I use him?"

Jia Xu didn't say anything, knowing in his heart that he was not asking him about this, nor was he supposed to interrupt.

Liu Xiang thought about it and said that Yang Xiu would be silent for a few more years. It would be better to have a good temper. As for the others at the banquet, they were just a group of chatterers, and there was no threat.

"Acatch Hu Zhao, raid the family and exterminate the clan, and no one will be investigated. Many people have been arrested for impeachment and slander. Don't stimulate those people from aristocratic families for the time being. Take your time, I am not in a hurry." Liu Xiang sneered disdainfully:

"After all, these people just don't want to pay taxes. What's wrong with respect for scholars? It's just a word. My property is paying taxes, and the Queen's property is paying taxes. Why don't they pay taxes? They are all thinking about nothing.

I wish they could rebel, so there would be an excuse to completely cleanse them."

Times have changed, and these old and young people have not yet turned a corner. He is not Emperor Guangwu, nor is he relying on the noble families to win the world. Liu Xiu cannot check the land and distribute the land to the people, which does not mean that Liu Xiang cannot do it.

Not only did he want to divide the land to the people, but he also wanted to find ways to curb land annexation.

In the feudal dynasty based on farming, the cornerstone of the country was self-cultivation farmers, stable taxes, stable military sources, and stable labor. They all came from them. If they did not treat these people, they would dig their own graves.

Unfortunately, many people are blinded by selfish desires, deliberately ignore this point, desperately exploit and abuse the foundation of the country, so it would be strange if the country is not destroyed.

Liu Xiang had never received royal education from the Han Dynasty and did not know what imperial skills were, but based on his own experience over the years, he figured out a truth: to conquer the world, to fight a turbulence; to defend the world, to protect the world, to protect the stability.

If the people at the bottom cannot survive, the world will inevitably be in turmoil, and the opportunity to conquer the world will appear, and the time for heroes from all walks of life will be ripe. This is the time to create heroes. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you have, you will only be defeated.

From this we can see that as long as the people at the bottom can stabilize your country, your country will also be stable.

There are many ways to talk about, but the ultimate goal is this. As long as you grasp the key points, you can always think of a solution to the problem.

Liu Xiang felt that he had grasped the key points and was now in the stage of finding a solution. Building the Yellow River embankment and developing the two lakes were one of the solutions he thought of.

The Yellow River embankment has been on track, and it is enough to build it step by step. The development of the two lakes has just begun. The Ministry of Works has sent people to go south to survey and map. The next step is to invest a lot of manpower and material resources.

Material resources can be allocated slowly, but human resources need to be thought of.

To develop wetland swamps, with the technical capabilities of the Han Dynasty, he could only add human lives to it. He was reluctant to leave the lives of the Han people, so he needed to replace victims.

He turned his attention to Shanyue on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The good news from Jiangnan was sent back to Chang'an one by one. Zhang Liao killed Yan Baihu on the bank of Qiantang, and the entire Wu County was pacified. The left army had already arrived at Kuaiji County.

Zhao Yun conquered Wanling, the capital of Danyang County, Zhang Ren shot and killed the commander Zulang, the commander of Jing County, on the east bank of Shuxi, and Danyang County was pacified.

Guan Yu's troops entered Linxiang and were dividing troops to attack Changsha County.

Lejin has moved south along the Gan River, and the restoration of Yuzhang is just around the corner.

Xu Huang conquered Linyuan, the capital of Wuling County, and recovered the troops of the Wuxi barbarian Shamoke in the Wuxi River Basin, and Wuling County was pacified.

The war is about to end.

The plan to capture the Shanyue people is on the agenda.

No one knows how many people there are in Shanyue. There are only a few people in Jiangnan. There are only a few people in millions. If Liu Xiang could use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Shanyue to fill the two lakes and plains, he would not have hesitated at all.

But he would not leave more than 100,000 troops to capture Shanyue people on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It would be too rough.

He wants to give a sweet date to differentiate Shanyue.
