"Then go back. The Western Regions Protectorate will send people to escort you back to the Great Xia Royal City. The General's Office will also send troops to help you recover the lost territory. The Prime Minister's Office will also send a prime minister to teach you how to govern the country. The National Commander's Office will send a national commander to help you train the army..."

Yan Yan spoke bit by bit!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The King of Daxia was excited!

If it were another country, they would definitely not want their prime minister and national commander to be sent by other countries.

But what if there is a civilizational gap between the two countries?

This is the current situation between Bingzhou and Daxia. The gap between the two sides can almost be described as a fault.

If the other party sends top talents to help you govern the country and train the army, and does not ask for anything else from you, would you be touched?

Among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, every year many countries request the Protectorate to send envoys to their countries to serve as prime ministers or state commanders, but who gets this opportunity?
Now Daxia can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did it avoid being destroyed, but it also received strong support from Bingzhou.

The officials sent out were not from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but were directly selected from the Bingzhou State Guardian's Office and the Prime Minister's Office. They were much better and more elite than the officials of the Protectorate!
"After I go back, I will do my best to cooperate with the envoy and build Daxia into a strong country. It will no longer be harassed by the Dayuezhi and will no longer cause trouble to our country!" The King of Daxia knelt on the ground and spoke incoherently with excitement.

"Is that all?" Mo Ya asked coldly.

"From now on, Daxia is the eagle, the mastiff, and the sword of the empire. Whoever your majesty wants Daxia to fight or kill, Daxia will fight or kill!"

After being reminded by Mo Ya, the King of Da Xia immediately realized that the priorities cannot be reversed!
What Bingzhou wants is for Daxia to become its own henchmen and swords, rather than a country that is so powerful that it does not need Bingzhou's protection and may even turn against it at any time!
Wu Tan is the role model of Daxia!
Although Wu Tan was powerful, he did not expand further. Instead, he controlled his strength to a certain level and served as a running dog for the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

So although Wu Tan still had the same amount of land, its economy and population were no longer the same as before.

Wutan also became the richest country per capita in the entire Western Regions and the most desirable place.

Wu Tan also knew very well that in their national code, they regarded Bingzhou as their savior and suzerain state. Wu Tan would never betray Bingzhou!

Now, the King of Daxia knows that they want to be the second Wu Tan, or even surpass Wu Tan!

What Wu Tan can do, Da Xia can do; what Wu Tan cannot do, Da Xia can also do!

"Of course, I will not let the king fight alone. There will be many comrades who will help you!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

He was determined to give the title of Meng, and give it to Li Ren's son, otherwise it would be hard to say whether anyone could defeat Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi.

Most importantly, he found Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying’s grandparents, who happened to be officials in Bingzhou.

He didn't bet that these people could kill Peacock now, but after one or two generations, people like Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu would grow up...hehehe!

Yan Yan’s smile was very evil and presumptuous!
There are too many talented people in China and they tend to fight among themselves. If we throw some of them out, it would be truly perfect.

There is a difference between enfeoffment and colonization.

Although both are resource plundering, enfeoffment is called tribute, while colonization is plundering.

This is the difference between being cultured and being uncultured.

One is that the locals voluntarily and willingly handed it over, and the other is that they handed it over passively and were forced to do so.

Therefore, the former will not resist, while the latter's resistance has never stopped.

Feudalism means that the suzerain state sends people and troops to occupy and eliminate the evil forces that originally oppressed the people, and then lead the local people to a better life. Colonization is simply cooperating with local evil forces, exploiting the local evil forces to exploit the local people more cruelly.

Therefore, feudalism is a feasible and sustainable development, while colonization is only temporarily efficient but cannot be sustainable.

It is not advisable to exhaust all the fish!
Yan Yan could already imagine what kind of destruction these people would become of the entire Peacock through their own efforts after they were given fiefs.

UNESCO cannot save the peacock because the peacock, from top to bottom, does not want to change and their ideas are deeply rooted.

Today's Peacock does not have such a deep-rooted and complete system. With the influence of various schools of thought and Chinese culture, it is unknown what the Peacock's religion will be like.

But Yan Yan believed that no matter how it was changed, it would always be much better than the horrible appearance of Peacock in the original historical trajectory.

After all, China is a country of etiquette, bangbangbang!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Li Ren came to the School Administration Hall. As for the reason why he was summoned, Li Ren also knew it. One of his legitimate sons would be selected from among his descendants to be sent out to be conferred a title of nobility.

"Which son have you chosen?" Yan Yan couldn't help but sound sour as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Ren has nothing much, but he has a lot of sons!

And there are both legitimate sons and illegitimate sons!
"Once you've made your choice, let the third brother go, and the fourth, fifth and sixth will help him!" Li Ren said with a smile.

The eldest son will inherit his title in Bingzhou, the second son will go back to his hometown to guard the family business, and as for the other children, get out there and make your own way!
"..." Yan Yan suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, and said sourly, "When you open your mouth, you only say three, four, five, six words, as if you don't have a son!"

Li Ren suddenly felt embarrassed, but he really thought so.

His current status is also the result of his own hard work with Yan Yan. Although he was conferred the title of Wu'an Jun by the Bingzhou court at the end of the year, that is not the title he inherited from his father Li Mu!
So, Li Ren thought, leave the eldest son to inherit his title, the second son to serve as a backup for the clan, and let the other children go out and explore!
And it's not just Li Ren who thinks this way, all the noble families who were sent abroad also think the same way.

The eldest son stayed behind, the second son served as the family's last backup, and the rest went out to explore and start their own businesses.

This has always been the Chinese way of survival, but it is most obvious among the aristocratic families.

"Take the edict back and fill in your name. The title and the imperial seal are already stamped. You can find a stone to carve the imperial seal yourself!" Yan Yan signaled Nong Yu to hand the edict to Li Ren.

"You won't even give us the national seal?" Li Ren was stunned. Don't you know how much money you have in your treasury? You are not even willing to carve a national seal?

"You think I'm rich, but do you know how many princes I granted fiefs to this time?"

"One hundred and eight, exactly one hundred and eight. I want to give each of them a national seal. Do you think I can afford it?"

Yan Yan was also angry.

It doesn't cost much to carve a national seal, but there are too many titles, and each one is a fiefdom, so they cannot be treated equally.

So I can’t afford it, I really can’t afford it!

Just let them go back and find gold and jade to carve on their own, or even just use carrots and stones to carve!

Anyway, the imperial edict is real. We will make a backup copy in the future based on the seal on the first letter they submitted.
