Li Laosi rode a tricycle through 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 power 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, so that he could use this electric threshing machine to thress rice after this autumn harvest.

He was thinking that he would have a lot of strength left for this year's autumn harvest when suddenly a strange drum beat sounded 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 arrived in front of him, Li Laosi immediately gave way to the road, in his opinion, this kind of formation must be an envoy of a certain country, after all, last year, the Wa State also came to Qingzhou to pay tribute in this formation.

When he arrived at the outside of the road, Li Laosi asked a student dressed as an envoy and said, "What kind of country's envoy is this?" ”

"The day before yesterday, the newspaper said that Tibet had been converted, so this should be an envoy of Tibet." The student said proudly.

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

Li Laosi suddenly became happy when he heard this, and he said; "Great, great, this barbarian race has been wiped out, and now this Tubo has also been surrendered, and the enemies who used to bully our Chinese Empire have become cowards, I am relieved."

The student nodded with a smile, and 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 large manor." ”

"You baby is stupid to read, if I am so rich, do I still need to board the tricycle myself? This is all the collective property of the production team. ”

The trainee was not angry, he said; "Then your production team is also very wealthy, and the price of these two things is not cheap."

After a pause, he continued; "But don't you want to have a big estate of your own?"

"Who doesn't want to have their own estate, but they don't have the money." Li Laosi sighed that 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 their family's one-third of an acre, but want to have their own manor, plus many people enter the factory to work, the land is idle, the trade of land near Qingzhou has been very hot in the past two years,

Many scattered plots of land were consolidated into large estates, and the owners of the estates bought slaves to purchase agricultural machinery to cultivate the land, which produced more food than their production teams.

And 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 by working in the factory, and many young people in the village are unwilling to work on the land, but run to Qingzhou City, and they can only get rich if they want to farm their own estates.

Seeing that the people in the village gradually have their own estates of different sizes, he Li Laosi is also anxious, if it weren't for the fact that he lost all his family money in a good gamble two years ago, now he can also buy a small manor of 500 acres of land, after all, the land of the empire is very cheap now.

The student noticed Li Laosi's expression, and he said; "If you don't have money, you can go to Australia, now the land in Australia is the cheapest, of course, Siberia is also cheap, but that place is too cold."

"Australia?" Li Laosi gritted his teeth, in fact, he had been hesitant during this time, in order to migrate to Australia, after all, the land where is basically equivalent to giving away for nothing, which is most suitable for poor people who want to own their own estates.

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

……

In the Zhengda Guangming Palace, Xiao Ming was waiting for the audience of the Tibetan envoy.

According to the news, now that the Tibetan envoy has entered the city, in order to personally submit to him, this time Dawa personally led the envoy to come.

After all, according to the Tibetan version, they will no longer choose Zampu, and he will add the name of Tubo Zampu to the title of Emperor of the Empire.

In His Royal Highness, the cabinet and the Beijing officials of Qingzhou were all present, and everyone was full of smiles, even happier than the New Year.

This year, they are overwhelmed by two happy facts.

After resting with his eyes closed for a while, Xiao Ming soon heard the unique drum music of Tubo, and after a while, the eunuch came to report that the envoy of Tubo had arrived.

Nodding to Qian Dafu, Qian Dafu immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "The Tibetan envoy is here." ”

The officials also cheered up at this time, and ten minutes later, Dawa led Demba to the Zhengda Guangming Temple.

When he arrived at the main hall, Dawa cautiously glanced at Xiao Ming on the dragon chair, bowed down and said: "Long live my emperor, Dawa, the great minister of Tubo, has seen His Majesty the Emperor, and today he is specially presented with a letter of state. ”

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

Qian Dafu went down at this time and took up the national letter and gave it to Xiao Ming.

After reading it, Xiao Ming showed a satisfied smile, and he said: "Since Tubo is sincere, since then Tubo and the Chinese Empire have fought each other, and will no longer kill each other. ”

"I am obedient to Your Majesty." Dawa said respectfully.

"Okay." Xiao Ming said loudly: "Today you came at the time of the reform of the administrative region of the empire, in this case, Tubo will be the autonomous province of Tubo from today onwards, and from now on it will not have its own army, the security of Tubo will be protected by the Southwest Military Region of the empire, and you must implement the decrees of the imperial court, are you willing?" ”

Although Dawa did not understand the meaning of the autonomous province, he understood the latter points very well, which meant that Tibet would become a part of the empire from now on.

However, he had been prepared for this, and when he was in Dokang, the nobles had a plan, and it was obviously more lucrative to become a part of the empire than to be an enemy of the empire.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, we will follow your will." Dawa said respectfully, after the Tibetan nobles saw the terrible weapons of the Tang Dynasty, they could no longer raise the idea of resistance, and even some nobles were horrified that the army of the Tang Dynasty would use witchcraft, so you can imagine how badly they were frightened by Luo Xin.

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

It was for this reason that after the annexation of Tibet, he decided to redefine the administrative region for management.
