Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 227 All thirty-six countries in the Western Region returned to Qin!

When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, they cheered up and gave way to a passage one after another, watching as the postman's back disappeared at the end of the street.

In Xianyang Palace, Zulong was handling government affairs with the ministers when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty! Good news from the Western Region!" The chamberlain hurried into the hall holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand.

This good news is like rain, nourishing every anxious and expectant heart in the court.

In an instant, the pride of the spring breeze was palpable, and all the ministers were delighted and beaming with joy.

"Your Majesty!" The chamberlain's hands trembled as he presented the victory report to the imperial court, "The thirty-six countries in the Western Region have all returned to our great Qin!"

When Zulong heard the news, his face was filled with joy, and his eyes shone brightly, as if he had seen the magnificent scene of Qin's unification of the world.

He stood up suddenly, strode to the front of the palace, and shouted like a bell: "Okay! Good! The soldiers fought bravely and fulfilled their mission. When they return in triumph, I will welcome them with national gifts and celebrate their achievements!"

After hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and worshiped on the ground, praising in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, long live the Qin Dynasty!!"

The entire court was filled with laughter and excitement!

Zu Long stood there, looking at the excited faces of the ministers, his heart filled with pride and ambition.

He knew that this surrender of the Western Regions was not only a victory for the Qin Dynasty, but also an important step for him to unify the world.

He believes that in the near future, the entire world will become the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and he will also become a hero and his name will go down in history!

At the same time, the shipbuilding supervisor who will be the Shaofu also stepped out and respectfully reported to Zulong the progress of the warship construction.

He held the wat in both hands and said in a loud and clear voice: "Your Majesty, since our dynasty began to vigorously build warships, hundreds of brand-new warships have been launched so far. Their scale and sophisticated equipment are unprecedented."

"In the near future, these battleships will be organized into a fleet and sail across the boundless ocean, demonstrating the majesty of our Great Qin!!"

When Zulong heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

His eyes shone with anticipation and pride, as if he had seen the magnificent scene of black flags flying in all countries in the world! !
He nodded slightly and expressed his appreciation for the hard work of the shipbuilding supervisor: "Thank you for your hard work! With such excellent warships, why worry about the injustice of the world? When the soldiers return in triumph, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

When the shipbuilding supervisor heard this, he was immediately excited. He bowed his head and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise! I will do my best to build more and better warships for the Qin Dynasty to help our country dominate the world!"

Warm cheers rang out again in the court hall.

Everyone is rejoicing at the progress of the warship construction and looking forward to the fact that the Great Qin Cavalry will be able to travel to every corner of the world in the near future.

After retiring from the court, Zulong stood alone in front of the majestic Zhangtai Palace, thinking about the Western Regions in his heart.

He did not enter the palace immediately, but stared at the distant sky, as if he wanted to have a panoramic view of the vast Western Region.

After a moment, he slowly turned around, his mysterious robe gently fluttering in the wind, exuding an aura of an emperor who was not angry but proud of himself!

Li Si and other important ministers had been ordered to come. When they saw Zulong's figure from a distance, they couldn't help feeling awe in their hearts.

Zulong walked into Zhangtai Palace. The palace stood tall and majestic, showing the majesty of the emperor.

The palace walls are towering and made of solid boulders, showing a cold and solemn posture.

Above the palace gate, there are exquisite reliefs inlaid with images of galloping auspicious animals, symbolizing the majesty and auspiciousness of the royal family. The palace buildings are well-proportioned and rigorously laid out. The tall palaces, exquisite pavilions, and spacious courtyards all reflect the emperor's dignity and style.

The roof is covered with glazed tiles, which shine dazzlingly in the sun, as if the entire palace is enveloped in a divine brilliance.

The decoration in the palace is also extremely luxurious, with carved beams and painted pillars, resplendent gold and jade green, exquisite murals, gorgeous curtains, and dazzling jewelry, all of which make people dizzy, as if they are in a dreamlike fairyland.

And amidst this luxury, there is no loss of solemnity and majesty.

The guards in the palace were wearing armor and holding spears, standing in the corner of the palace. Their eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could see through all potential dangers.

At this moment, Zulong was sitting on the emperor's couch, leaning on it, showing his majesty and calmness.

The depth of the mysterious robe and the gorgeous decoration in the palace complement each other, making the image of Zulong even taller and more mysterious.

"I have called you here to discuss matters in the Western Region." Zulong's voice was calm and powerful, echoing in the palace.

His eyes were like a torch, scanning the faces of every minister, as if examining their hearts.

Li Si, Qin Chi and others did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They bowed and saluted one after another, and responded in unison: "I obey the holy will and are willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."

They knew that Zulong attached great importance to the Western Region, and also understood the importance of this negotiation.

Zu Long nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.

Then he ordered the waiter to unfold a map of the Western Regions, which showed mountains, rivers, cities and passes in detail.

His eyes were like a torch, scanning every inch of land on the map, as if he was sketching the future of the Western Region in his heart.

"My dear, you know the Western Region well. Do you have a deep understanding of the geography and people there?" Zulong first asked Qin Chi.

Qin Chi bowed and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the terrain of the Western Region is complex, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing it, and the climate is changeable. However, the people mostly make a living as nomads, with tough temperaments and advocating force. In terms of culture, it is very different from that of the Central Plains. Writing, The language and customs are all unique."

Zu Long nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "Then how do you think the people of the Western Regions can be settled so that they can be convinced and completely integrated into our Great Qin?"

Qin Chi thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the people of the Western Regions have lived in the border areas for a long time and know very little about the culture and system of our Great Qin. If we want to make them convinced, we must first focus on education and spread the culture of the Central Plains so that they can understand our Great Qin's culture. Great, at the same time, we should respect their original customs and habits, and gradually guide them to integrate into the Central Plains civilization."

Li Si on the side nodded in approval: "The land of the Western Region has become the territory of our Great Qin. However, the way of governance needs to be adapted to local conditions and cannot be done too hastily. Education must be the first priority, supplemented by policies of kindness and power, so that it can truly integrate into the Central Plains."

Qin Chi nodded and said: "Also, although the thirty-six countries in the Western Region have surrendered, they are located in remote areas and their people's customs are very different from those in the Central Plains. They must be carefully resettled..."

"I believe that we should set up border defenses and garrison troops in the Western Region to ensure the peace of the territory. At the same time, we should set up post stations along the Silk Road to convey messages and strengthen the connection between the two places."

Li Si also nodded in agreement and said, "What Mr. Qin said is true. The land of the Western Regions is rich in products and has a unique culture. If we can exchange supplies with the Central Plains, it will definitely promote the prosperity and development of both parties. However, the countries in the Western Regions have not yet surrendered, and their hearts are still undecided. The establishment of border defenses, post stations and other measures can not only prevent the risk of rebellion, but also deepen mutual understanding and influence, and completely integrate the Western Regions into Qin."

Zulong was overjoyed when he heard this, stroking his palms and smiling: "What the two ministers said is exactly what I want. Since the Western Region has become the territory of our Great Qin, we should carefully manage it to make it a stable rear area for our country, and set up border defenses, post stations, etc. It is better to leave it to the two ministers to jointly plan and handle it sooner rather than later."

Li Si and Qin Chi accepted the order in unison, feeling excited in their hearts.

They know that the affairs of the Western Regions are related to the future of Great Qin, and they will do their best.
