Chapter 1032 Tubo Submission
Li Laosi rode a tricycle on the clean and wide streets of Qingzhou City, carrying an electric threshing machine in his car.
After the popularization of electricity in Qingzhou, some simple electrical equipment also appeared, including the threshing machine he bought this time.
However, his purchase this time was not borne by him alone, but the production team in the village pooled together the money, so that the electric threshing machine could be used to thresh rice after the autumn harvest.
He was thinking that he would have a lot of energy left for the autumn harvest this year, when suddenly there was a strange drumming sound on the road ahead.
Then he saw some strangely dressed people carrying large and small boxes along the avenue towards the imperial city.
Seeing that this team was in front of him, Li Laosi immediately gave way. In his opinion, this formation must be the envoy of a certain country. After all, last year, the Japanese country also came to Qingzhou to pay tribute in this formation.
On the outside of the road, Li Laosi asked a man dressed as a student and said, "What country's envoy is this?"
"The newspaper said the day before yesterday that Tubo had surrendered, so this should be the envoy of Tubo." The student said proudly.
The empire is getting stronger and stronger, they are in their eyes and proud in their hearts.
When Li Laosi heard the words, he immediately became happy, and he said, "It's great, great, the barbarians have been wiped out, and now the Tibetans have surrendered, and the enemies who bullied our Chinese empire in the past have become cowards, I'm 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 a particularly big one. manor."
"You foolish child to study. If I had so much money, would I use it to board a tricycle myself? This is the collective property of the production team."
The students were not angry either, he said; "Then your production team is also very rich, and the prices of these two things are not cheap."
After a pause, he continued; "But don't you want to have your own manor?"
"Who doesn't want to have their own manor, but has no money." Li Laosi sighed. With the expansion of the empire, the land of the empire is now very rich, which has changed the way of life of the people of the empire.
Many people are no longer satisfied with one-third of their own 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.
Many scattered lands were consolidated into large areas and built into large manors. The owners of the manor purchased slaves and purchased agricultural machinery to cultivate these lands, which produced more food than their production teams.
Now, more and more people in the production team they are in have this idea. After all, the income from farming is far less than that of working in factories. Many young people in the village are unwilling to work on the land. Instead, they run to Qingzhou City. Those who want to farm can only be truly prosperous if they have their own manor.
Seeing that everyone in the village gradually has their own manor of different sizes, Li Laosi is also very anxious. If he hadn't lost all his money in the previous two years, he would be able to buy a five hundred acres of land. It's a small manor, after all, the land in the empire is very cheap now.
The student noticed Li Laosi's expression and he said, "If you don't have money, go to Australia. Now the land in Australia is the cheapest. Of course, the land in Siberia is also cheaper, but that place is too cold."
"Australia?" Li Laosi gritted his teeth. In fact, he has been hesitant for a while, in order to migrate to Australia. After all, where land is basically a free gift, it is most suitable for those who want to own their own manor. poor.
Looking at the tricycle and the threshing machine on the car, Li Laosi said bitterly: "Grandma, I will have these things sooner or later, Li Laosi, I will go to Australia this time."
...
In Zhengdaguangguang Hall, Xiao Ming is waiting for the audience of the Tibetan messenger.
According to the news, the Tibetan envoy has now entered the city. In order to show his submission to him personally, Dawa personally led the delegation this time.
After all, according to Tubo, they no longer choose Zamp, and he will add the name of Tubo Zamp to the title of Emperor of the Empire.
At His Royal Highness, the cabinet and Qingzhou's capital officials were all present, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and they were even happier than the New Year.
This year, two great joys in succession have overwhelmed them.
After resting for a while with his eyes closed, Xiao Ming soon heard the drum music unique to Tubo, and soon the eunuch came to report that the Tubo messenger had arrived.
Nodding to Qian Dafu, Qian Dafu immediately shouted in a shrill voice, "The Tibetan messenger is here."
The officials also cheered up at this time, and ten minutes later, Dawa led Dengba to the Zhengdaguangguang Hall.
Arriving at the main hall, Dawa carefully looked at Xiao Ming on the dragon chair, bowed and said, "Long live my emperor, Dawa, the prime minister of Tubo, has seen His Majesty the emperor, and today he presents the national letter. Since Tubo is willing to bow his head and say, forever. No regrets."
After all, Dawa presented the national letter with both hands, and his attitude was humble.
At this time, Qian Dafu walked down and took the credential and gave it to Xiao Ming.
After reading it, Xiao Ming showed a satisfied smile, he said: "Since the Tubo is sincere, since then the Tubo and the Chinese Empire have fought each other to turn jade and silk, and they will no longer kill each other. Zamp, will you obey my will in the future?"
"It is natural to obey Your Majesty." Dawa said respectfully.
"Okay." Xiao Ming said loudly: "Today, you are here at the time of the reform of the administrative region of the empire. Since this is the case, Tubo will be the autonomous province of Tubo in the empire from today, and will not have its own army from now on. It will be protected by the southwestern military region of the empire, and you must implement the government's decrees, are you willing?"
Although Dawa does not understand the meaning of autonomous province, he can understand the following few points, which means that Tubo will completely become part of the empire from now on.
However, he was already prepared for this. When Dokang was in the nobles, he was careful. Compared with being an enemy of the empire, it was obviously more profitable to be a part of the empire.
"Then he said, "My lord, we will follow your will. Dawa said respectfully, after seeing the terrifying weapons of the empire, the Tibetan nobles could no longer raise the idea of resistance, and even some nobles were terrified that the army of the empire would use sorcery. How frightened.
Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. After so many years of hard work, he finally let the empire have all the territory of modern times, even millions of square kilometers.
Based on this, after the Tubo annexation, he decided to redefine the administrative area for management.
