    In other words, in front of a powerful person like me who is determined to change, in front of a leader like me who can bring enough benefits to the vast majority of people, in front of an outstanding person like me who knows how to manipulate the direction of public opinion, what are their thoughts?  and practices have become rootless water. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Other than causing some small waves, it not been able to have any major impact on the empire at all.  At most, the good times when the family squatted together and cried and mourned the family members were over.  A month later, the Borneo envoy arrived in Chang'an. The Borneo envoy, whose palaces were built of thatch and wood, was filled with shock from the beginning.  They boarded the strange-looking long battleship sent by the expedition fleet, which looked low but was actually much taller than their house. Since there was a favorable wind, it only took less than nine days.  We arrived at Jiaozhi Port, then boarded a four-wheeled stagecoach, heading towards Chang'an along the gray-white concrete straight road.  What they saw and heard along the way made the Borneo envoy and his subordinates almost go crazy.  At the Jiaozhi Port, the even larger warships left them speechless. The brand-new silver armors of the Chinese Empire military officers who came to receive them made them almost drool. There were also those about three meters tall near the port.  A four-story cement masonry building.  As for the neat straight cement road, which is wide enough for four carriages and horses to drive side by side and more than two thousand miles long, it is as hard as a rock and is gray-white.  It was even more unbelievable to them how much manpower and material resources it would cost.  When I heard that the number of people engaged in road construction and related industries in the Chinese Empire reached one million, one of the deputy envoys, the third prince of the native King of Borneo, just shook his head like a lion and fainted.  The population of the entire Borneo Kingdom is only 700,000 to 800,000, which is far more than the surrounding tribes whose largest population is just over 10,000 people.  Nowadays, I heard that the number of workers engaged in road construction alone has exceeded the total population of their country. It is indeed not a big deal to scare people into coma.  The long and gently sloping cement straight road extended from the land of Jiaozhi to Chang'an, and during this process, they also crossed more than ten caves with a length of more than two miles, and also saw a bridge between two mountains.  A bridge more than fifty meters above the valley floor.  All of this made them sigh with emotion, but they didn¡¯t know how to describe it.  These stage cars are specially designed for long-distance travel. They are equipped with beds, bedding, and even special toilets for use.  Every hundred miles, there will be a post station, where there will be horses for the carriage to change, and there will also be a hotel for those guests who cannot sleep soundly on the carriage to rest.  Plus, there is food available.  Although most of them are pancakes, noodles, pickled cucumbers, pickled cabbage and other easy-to-storage foods, it is good to have something to eat, and the most important thing is that the price is not expensive.  Therefore, under such circumstances, this long-distance trip was not really hard. It took more than half a month to reach Chang'an.  And when Chang'an City, which was so towering to the extreme and so vast that it almost occupied the entire horizon, appeared in their sight.  The envoy of Borneo, who was of Han descent, and the seven or eight members of the envoy who were also of Han descent, wiped their tears and prostrated themselves on the ground. That was Chang'an.  The imperial capital, which has been in the hearts of the people of the Chinese Empire for countless generations, symbolizes the spirit of Chinese culture.  Chang'an is a city that lingers in their bodies, bones, blood and even souls. Listening to the affectionate narrations of their ancestors, they talk about that great, miraculous city that represents the prosperity and strength of the Chinese nation.  Symbolic name.  The third prince of the Borneo Kingdom also prostrated himself to the ground, with a face so shocked that he could not help but look at Chang'an, the capital of the Chinese Empire, which seemed to connect the heaven and the earth.  At this moment, perhaps he also realized that compared to himself, no, compared to the entire Borneo Kingdom, in front of this great city that carries the history and civilization of China.  They seemed so small, even humble.  I took a long breath and put the comprehensive information in my hand on the desk. I really admired this intelligence officer who had been accompanying the delegation. This writing alone was enough to  To write those very sensational reports on heroic deeds.  After entering the city, at the suggestion of the Prince of Borneo, our escort agreed to the prince's request and drove a carriage around the city to let His Royal Highness the Prince and members of the delegation appreciate the city.  scenery.  In the prosperous and majestic city of Chang'an, ordinary people walk in an orderly manner on the sidewalks on both sides of the road. On the sidewalks, there are even special trash cans to collect the debris that the ordinary people need to discard, such as packages.  Grease paper with burning paper, or lollipop sticks for children to eat, etc.  "The other thing is that the road is divided into left and right sides, and all cars and horses will follow the rules of driving on the right. Even wealthy merchants from other places will abide by this rule, because I have?The implementation of traffic laws across the country was ordered a few years ago.  " In short, this group of rustics were almost blinded by the luxury and magnificence, majesty and grandeur, tolerance and vastness of the imperial capital of Chang'an.  I have been shopping from the morning until late at night. After the lights flashed, Chang'an was covered with a beautiful and warm night. On the streets, pedestrians were still coming and going, and the bells of the post trains were always coming and going, and those  The contented and carefree expressions on the faces of the people in the wine shops, theaters, and squares were a real eye-opener for these foreigners from a barbarous land.  ??Even the diplomatic escort paid for them to watch a play. The rustics who came from the southern barbarian land were so intoxicated that they watched it. Of course, it was mainly those who knew Chinese who were so intoxicated.  Early the next morning, the prince of Borneo and the envoy had just woken up when staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to visit them.  The confident and calm attitude, neither humble nor arrogant, made the Borneo delegation feel flattered, who were very self-aware, or had already been shocked by everything they had seen and heard during this period.  Finally, it was decided that at the great court meeting at the beginning of the month seven days later, they would pay tribute to the great and enlightened Emperor of the Chinese Empire on behalf of Borneo, and submit a letter of credence requesting aid. I think, with the kindness and fraternity of our Emperor, he will surely  I would like to give you, the Lord and the country of Borneo a constructive and forward-looking reply.  The Borneo envoy, who was dizzy and confused by the official rhetoric, said goodbye to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even wanted to give some small gifts, but the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs politely declined, and finally paid.  And this staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was standing in front of me at this moment, respectfully telling what he saw and heard when he met the Borneo mission today.  The dozen or so important ministers present were all listening intently.  After he finished his explanation and asked him to leave, the escort and intelligence member who had been accompanying the mission from Nanyang to Chang'an continued: "the number of Han people in the country will not exceed 15,000, but the number of Han people in the country will not exceed 15,000.  It was the Han people who taught these foreigners how to use various tools. In addition, they were resourceful and resourceful. Therefore, for a long time, the Han people who had been trusted by successive rulers of the Borneo Kingdom had even intermarried with Han people many times. The grandmother of the current ruler  , is a Han. And most of the Borneo royal family can speak Chinese, just like the third prince of Borneo, who became a disciple of a well-known Han Confucian scholar in Borneo. " Hearing this news, it made many people happy.  Shigeomi looked matter-of-fact.  My young master laughed secretly in his heart when he saw this, but of course his face remained calm.  From top to bottom, Borneo respected these knowledgeable and cultured Han people. Not only did these Han people bring all kinds of knowledge, but they also learned how to use hemp to weave cloth and use hoes instead of sticks to grow food.  However, over time, a considerable part of the Han people assimilated with the Borneo people, but more of the Borneo people were assimilated by the Han people.  Almost everyone in the King of Borneo can speak a few words of Chinese. As for the officials, everyone speaks fluent Chinese. For their own people, compared with the beautiful Chinese, the local language is like a wild monkey in the tree.  There's not much difference in shouting.  "It seems that this barbarian country beyond the ocean also knows that it admires China. Your Majesty, do you think the court should give them more sweet treats to show kindness?" Ma Zhou stood up and said with a smile.  .  "Well, in your opinion, what kind of sweetness should be given to the Borneo Kingdom?" I smiled and nodded slightly.  "General Chen has already brought up the garrison. I have several more, such as opening ports, building roads, and building schools" As Ma Zhou raised his fingers one by one, each of these important court officials  The corners of their mouths became more and more crooked, um, evil smiles, or they were speechless as if they had toothache. ? And this young master nodded happily after hearing this.  Well, he deserves to be Ma Zhou, and he deserves to be a famous official in history. These words are beautiful, but the intention is sinister enough.  Garrisoning troops is equivalent to our Chinese Empire driving a nail deep into its country.  According to the current combat effectiveness of the Chinese Renaissance Army, even if only one battalion is thrown in the capital of the King of Borneo, thousands of indigenous rebels armed with wooden spears can easily wipe them out.  " If a standard regiment is stationed, it will be close to 4,000 people. With these 4,000 people, we are absolutely sure to win over a weak indigenous kingdom like Borneo.  As for the means of opening ports, building roads, building schools, etc., it is to influence, assimilate, and invade economically and culturally. Over time, this Borneo country will forget its own history and past, and will lose heart.  Leaning towards the Chinese Empire, in the future, they will no longer be an independent country, but will be assimilated into vassals of the Chinese Empire, and may even actively merge into the big family of the Chinese Empire.
