    The ugly little star looked up and stared at Wang Kuang for a while, then went to pick up Sanbai, who was hanging on Wang Kuang's chest again at some point, and put it on his shoulders, complaining:  "It's all you who insists on hanging in front of the elder brother, making it difficult for the elder brother to speak." In his opinion, Wang Kuang's chest was hung with three whites, which greatly affected Wang Kuang's image.  The discount was all Sanbai's fault. Otherwise, he might have seen the old man kneeling down and begging for mercy!  Think about it, how majestic it is?

    Sanbai is very aggrieved. Didn¡¯t you stop me when I was hanging there?  It's been a long time since you came to complain. It can't speak and can only make a few soft noises of protest, but it understands the importance and squats obediently on Chou Chou's shoulders.  .

    Little Wang Sheng rode on Wang Kuang's neck and looked around. He didn't care about the things of adults. In his young heart, those colorful lights were attractive and fun things, but he was also good, Wang Kuang  While talking, he held Wang Kuang's forehead with both hands without saying a word. Now that there was no one else in sight, he turned around and shouted: "Uncle, go over there, uncle, go over there."

    After Wang Kuang solved such a problem, he was in a particularly happy mood. He jumped and walked all the way, making little Wang Sheng giggle. Many people on the roadside had just seen the devastated look of General Jian'an An'an being scolded.  , all smiled and made way for Wang Kuang, and the good-hearted ones cheered and shouted: "You two young gentlemen, please work harder, grow up quickly, and become the Marquis of Jian'an!"

    The excitement of Shangyuan passed quickly, but this year¡¯s Shangyuan.  But it also set an example for the future Shangyuan. Since then, it has become a custom for each yamen to give out lanterns and prizes, because each yamen found that in the past, the people were a little evasive when meeting people from the yamen.  If something requires their cooperation, they seem a bit reluctant.  But this time, as soon as Shangyuan passed, those in the yamen were surprised to find that when they went to the streets.  Some people smiled and said hello to them, especially the magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian counties who had the deepest feelings. They had to solve some cases in the past.  There are some special cases involving people with backgrounds. Those who do not report the knowledge must be threatened, and those who do not report will be regarded as covering up. Only after they are guilty of the same crime as the criminal can we get useful clues. But it is different now. No matter what the case is, as long as we investigate the past,  The attitude of the people has become much better.  Many people even took the initiative to tell the government officials that someone or something seemed a little strange.

    Naturally, the change was not very big, just a subtle change, but this subtle change already made the government officials overjoyed and reported it, and then the magistrates of the two counties reported it to Chang'an Mansion.  The Chang'an Mansion reported it again, and as a result, Changsun Wuji discussed with several big bosses and made a decision: From now on, Shangyuan will do this, not only Shangyuan, but also Dragon Boat Festival and Zhongyuan.  This should also be done on major festivals such as Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc., so that officials and government servants in various governments should put down their official positions and only act as ordinary Chang'an citizens to have more contact with the common people and have fun with each other, so as to promote the relationship between the government and the people.  of harmony.

    The example of the Dragon Boat Festival is easy to learn, so just go to Jian'an and learn from their dragon boat competition. Chanshui and Bashui are not big, but they can still accommodate so many dragon boats. As for the dragon boat team, it is simple, each yamen has one  Then the common people formed a team in units of squares, imitating Jian'an's cooking world. The top few were first divided into districts, then divided into counties, and then the top ones were chosen. Finally, there was a big competition on the Dragon Boat Festival.  , each yamen belongs to which district according to the district where its chief official lives, and is not in a separate row.

    ?????????????????????? Even the yamen servants and other people from each yamen who have not been selected for the dragon boat team can also go to their own district to join the team, so that the government and the people can truly be integrated without distinction.

    The Qingming Festival requires the emperor to return to court to see how it can be done in a people-friendly process. As for the spring plowing ceremony, it is originally a joint participation of the whole world. There is nothing that needs to be changed. At most, the people in various places have to chip in to purchase it.  Just change all the animals to the government. When offering sacrifices to heaven, we can also bring in those respected people who are good at farming to worship heaven together, which can also shorten the distance between the officials and the people.

    In other festivals, you can choose corresponding ways for the government and the people to have fun together according to the characteristics of the festival.  Changsun Wuji and others also knew that these were all standards. If we really want to unite the government and the people, we must start from the essence. Just superficial words will not work. At this time, they remembered Taigong's "Six Tao".  After careful consideration, I suddenly realized that everything Jian'an Hou did actually coincided with the meaning of "Wen Tao" and put the people's livelihood first, truly achieving "the world is not owned by one person".  , is the world for the people of the world. Those who share the benefits of the world will gain the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world will lose the world.  Where benevolence lies, the world will return to it.  Where virtue lies, the world will return to it.  Where righteousness lies, the world will return to it.  , the world will follow it. Where the Tao is, the world will return." No wonder the Marquis of Jian'an must promote the culture of the world, no wonder that whenever the Marquis of Jian'an intervenes?Conquest seems so easy.

    However, these are things for later.  As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, all the yamen actually start working, but the big bosses are still at home. They are determined to put the Xi'an Mission to dry and seek to maximize their profits. Naturally, they will not go so easily.  Even if the yamen had official business, they would all ask the officials below to come to their houses to discuss it. They didn't know that on the night of Shangyuan, Wang Kuang had already worn such a cloth to cover up his body.  After being uncovered, the Parthians today are just white-striped lambs left to be slaughtered.

    Everything went smoothly. On the day when the "official office" started on the 25th, the Parthian mission did not say a word of negative at the negotiation table. Every time the big bosses of the Tang Dynasty put forward a condition, as long as it was something they could afford, they were full of it.  Agree, in the end, the Anxi Dynasty, to be precise, was the Sazha Dynasty. In order to obtain millions of catties of amber sugar, new farming methods, books, seeds, etc., Long paid a total of ten thousand catties of gold, five thousand fine horses, and thousands of camels.  Peaks, and countless cattle and sheep.  These are all related to money. For An Anxi who can raise less than 10,000 kilograms of gold at a time, he can use jewelry and silver to pay for it.

    In addition to the physical contributions, there are also thirty-seven cities. The location of the thirty-seven cities is much different from what Ju Zhizhi mentioned at the beginning. They are no longer all the thirty-seven cities far away from the Tang Dynasty border. Three of them are  This city is bordering Khorezm, and the other thirty-five cities are divided into three places. They are no longer all poor and remote places. One city is located on the edge of the Persian Gulf, and the water is deep enough for Xu Guoxu¡¯s fleet.  The purpose of stopping for supplies is that after all, being able to stay overseas for such a long time and set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty was also a relief for Xu Guoxu and his group of several thousand people.

    If it weren't for the "strong opposition" of Ju Chile, who was released by the imperial court to participate in the negotiations together, and if Wang Kuang hadn't slightly changed his tune under the "strong opposition" of Ju Chile, it wouldn't be as simple as just having one city in the Persian Gulf.  It's such a big deal that it's possible to knock down a city even on the seaside of Kaspi.

    Of course, Arsasi and the others had their own reasons for agreeing to give up a city on the seaside, because that city was right next to Byzantium. By giving it up to the Tang Dynasty, the Saga Dynasty was effectively creating a conflict between itself and Byzantium.  A wedge was inserted between them. Even if Byzantium wanted to have any misconceptions about the Sacha Dynasty, it had to take into account the thoughts of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, their northwest border would be much safer. After all, it was the national border with Byzantium.  Half the time is short, and secondly, there is a territory belonging to the Tang Dynasty there. They can be a little more relaxed and allocate more troops to the southeast, and then Tianzhu will be captured by them soon.

    In addition, there is also the issue of the treatment of the people of the Tang Dynasty. The treaty stipulates that the people of the Tang Dynasty enjoy immunity. If the people of the Tang Dynasty break the law in the Sazha Dynasty, they can only be dealt with by the Datang Yamen.  The Zha Dynasty only had the right to investigate, and then sent the results to the nearest Datang Yamen, who would handle the matter.  In addition to inspecting the roads of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Sazha Dynasty was not allowed to inspect the goods of the Tang Dynasty for no reason, and was not allowed to use various excuses to hinder the normal business or other legitimate business activities of the Tang Dynasty merchants in the Sazha Dynasty, etc.

    Naturally, the Tang Dynasty had both profits and sacrifices. The Tang Dynasty promised that when the Parthian Kingdom was bullied by foreign enemies, the Tang garrison in the territory of Parthia had the obligation to protect the territory of Parthia when it received a request for help from the Parthian royal court.  Integrity and public rights shall not be infringed upon by others.  There were a hundred or so articles in total, and later generations called the treaty the "Shangyuan Covenant."

    At this point, Arsaxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It is obvious to all the people in the world that the Chinese people value their faith and their promises. With such a covenant, it seems that the Sazha Dynasty has paid a lot, but all it got was the Tang Dynasty resting in peace.  There are conditional protections for people when they are invaded, but with this, they can develop southward with confidence and boldness. To the southeast, there are almost one city and one country. How can they be defeated because of their military strength?  The reason why they wanted this was to guard against Byzantium's eastward advance.

    But he forgot that the treaty only stipulated that the Tang Dynasty would provide help when the Sazha Dynasty was invaded by foreign invaders. It did not promise that the Tang Dynasty would not attack the Sazha Dynasty!  Uncle Lantern has not thought about this at all. In his opinion, it is good enough to have the Tang Dynasty willing to provide them with what they want most. It is already Amitabha if the Tang Dynasty can ignore the glances sent by Byzantium.  , how can you manage further?  They dare not even think about it.  Furthermore, the treaty talks about Parthia, not the Sazha Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty attacked, it could have said that the Parthia Kingdom had been destroyed by the Sazha King. The Tang Dynasty wanted to maintain the authority of this treaty.  Send troops to avenge the Parthians!

    As for Ju Chile, because the peace talks were very successful, he naturally went back with the Parthian mission. It is conceivable that in the entire mission, only Ju Chile "struggled with reason" to safeguard the interests of the Sacha dynasty, and was the leader of the settlement.  It achieved results and did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the Tang Dynasty bosses, so?If he will be reused after he returns, it will be a sure thing.
