Many people think that grassland people are very straightforward and think that they are very simple.

In fact, this is not the case. A person's ability is related to his experience and his education. The more honest memories of grassland people in their past impressions are mostly because most of the grassland people received limited education, and they have nomadic experience on the grassland.

People are ignorant because of ignorance, and barbaric because of ignorance.

But even in the remote grasslands of the northern desert, there are not many people without knowledge. Just as the Central Plains are vast and numerous, although there are countless wise people, in those remote mountainous areas, many people are also closed and ignorant because of their lack of education and no chance to get out of the mountains.

The two men on the northern desert grassland, Qi Bi Geling and Yao Geluo Tumidu, are not ignorant people, nor are they honest and loyal people.

They had gray hair and had been traversing the grassland for half their lives. They had seen countless strong winds and waves, Turks, Tiele, Xueyantuo, and they lived to the end.

Many people don’t know the general trend of the world at all, and they even know that Dahua is in the south of the grassland, but they don’t know how big Dahua is, where the imperial capital is, and how great the emperor is.

They worship heroes, power, and grassland warriors who ride well and shoot arrows accurately. In their eyes, the tribal leaders are already amazing, let alone the Khan of the Khanate. Qiegelan and Yaogetumi are in the north of the desert, and they are as prestige as mountains.

However, Qi Zigeling and Tu Midu are knowledgeable and they clearly know that the grassland is facing an unprecedented urgent situation.

When the Turks, Xueyantuo, Khitan, Tuyuhun, Xi, and Shi fell one after another and the other powerful tribes fell before the Iron Cavalry of Dahua and before their guns and cannons, the vast grassland was no longer vast.

Either like the Turks, Xue Yantuo and others, they will fight against Dahua to the end and eventually die.

Or, choose to surrender and become a part of this powerful empire.

They did not believe in the constitution of the Han people in the Central Plains, but when there was no better choice, they could only come with uneasy.

But the two were a little overly optimistic.

Zhang Chao was indeed very pleased that the two were willing to take the initiative to request the title of princes, but this did not mean that Zhang Chao was really willing to let the two divide Mobei into their fiefdoms.

There is still a big difference between vassal states and vassal states. Paying some taxes to the court requires a lot of responsibility, but it also means that joining the empire system can enjoy a lot of corresponding powers.

"The specific affairs of the Imperial Parliament and the nobles' House of the Imperial Parliament will be responsible for. I will hand over the specific affairs of the two Lords' Parties to President Wei." Zhang Chao smiled and turned the words, and made the matter settled and temporarily put it aside.

He agreed to the request of the two Khans to enfeoff the princes, but he did not immediately enfeoff the two Khans of Mobei directly to the two Khans.

Qi Zige was stunned, not understanding what went wrong.

Emperor Dahua should not be very happy when he heard that they were willing to take the initiative to change to a vassal state. Did the Golden Palace agree immediately?

Why are they taking the initiative now, but Emperor Dahua has such a reaction, and it seems a little cold.

A hot face is pressed on a cold butt?

It was embarrassing now. The two of them knelt there, either getting up or continuing to kneel.

What's the matter halfway?

On the dragon throne, Zhang Chao just smiled and waved his hand. The palace ceremonial officer immediately came up to ask the two of them to get up.

The grand dynasty meeting will continue, and this matter will be discussed later.

The two nodded and hurriedly stepped aside.

Today is the main dynasty meeting in the third year of Revival. Countless officials, local dynasties, and various envoys from different countries participated. In this case, how could the emperor keep talking about their affairs with them?

The two of them felt a little relieved and quickly retreated to their position.

The grand dynasty meeting continues.

The envoy of the Roman Empire, also Augustus of Rome, came again. The young man who already had the title of emperor came to Dahua again. But he estimated that this would be his last time to come to Dahua because his father was very ill and might not be able to last this year.

In Rome, not only his father had the title of emperor, but also his brother and him. The empire had three emperors. If his father died, his brothers would rule Rome together.

Herac went to the East many times and had a deep understanding of the power of the Great Ukraine Empire. Herac was not the emperor's eldest son, and he was able to get the title of emperor because of her mother's help.

When his father was seriously ill, he insisted on coming to China, but in fact he wanted to get the full support of Emperor Dahua. He had his own ideas for the Roman Empire.

He hopes that the Roman Empire will return to its past glory, and also hopes that the Roman Empire can become the overlord of the Mediterranean again.

So he came this time, seeking that Dahua could express his support. He hoped that after returning to China this time, he could convince his father and let him and his brother divide the world.

The empire was divided into east and west, and the two emperors were each in power.

He himself was even willing to give in and govern the East of the empire, including Egypt, Asia Minor, Armenia and other regions, and hand over Constantinople and other places to his brothers to govern.

This is like the division of Roman East and West in that time. However, under the division of East and West at that time, Constantinople was governed by the Eastern Emperor, while the Western Emperor was governed by the Roman Emperor.

Herac was wearing a purple robe and holding a double-headed eagle golden rod.

Send greetings to Emperor Dahua.

Then a gift list was presented, which was very long and the gift was not light. From all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, to various fur and rare birds, there were even many slaves.

There is also a handwritten letter from the old emperor.

The old emperor's tone was very respectful. Today, Dahua has become the veritable center of the world and the most powerful country today.

Whether it is the emerging Arabs, the old Rome, the Franks, Visigoths and other countries among the barbarians, none of them have the strength and influence as strong as the current Dahua.

All countries have to give Dahua some face.

Even the arms trade in Dahua has been carried out all over the sea. Which country does not want to buy some Dahua's weapons? Not to mention the exquisite silk, porcelain, tea, sugar, paper, spices, and even iron shipped from the East.

Emperor Chiraclio founded a new dynasty in the Roman Empire, but finally resisted Persia and beat Persia with the help of the Tang Dynasty later. But who knew that the damn Arabs who finally got the cheaper Persia was the damn Arabs.

The battle between Chiraclio and the Arabs was a battle with more than one loser, and he was famous for his lifetime, but he was unable to protect his fortune in the later years. If it weren't for Dahua's support in the middle, the Roman Empire would have probably lost all Armenia.

Rome wanted to maintain the situation, especially as he was about to die, and his two sons would rule Rome together in the future. Emperor Heraclio hoped to maintain his precious friendship with Dahua.

Chiracli gave Zhang Chao a lot of gifts, and then expressed his hope to borrow more loans from Dahua to buy more weapons, ships, and even artillery powder. He was preparing to strengthen the equipment of the Roman army again and improve his strength to cope with the increasingly tense situation in Armenia.

Of course, Rome had borrowed several loans from Dahua before and after, and the number was very large. In order to obtain the previous loan, the Romans even rented the canal and Cyprus to Dahua, and mortgaged the canal tariffs to Dahua, and Dahua collected the tax on his behalf.

Now that the previous debt has not been paid, Rome wants to borrow new debts, things are not so easy.

Chirac is worthy of being a hero of a generation. Even though he is old and is still frustrated by the Arabs, he still has courage. In order to help his sons defend their family business in the future, he boldly proposed a cooperation plan this time.

He opened more than a dozen Mediterranean coastal ports of the Roman Empire to Dahua, set up the Hua Concession, and then directly deducted the customs of these ports to Dahua, and Dahua collected tariffs on his behalf until the debt was paid off.

Chiraclio even took the initiative to increase the loan interest a little.

For loans, for Dahua's ordnance and warships, Chiraclio also fought hard.

These very attractive loan conditions made Zhang Chao very excited when he saw it, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Of course, in fact, this money is not borrowed from the Dahua court. These loans are credit guarantees for the Dahua court, and then major banks and business groups are organized to provide funds to borrow money. A loan committee is formed to raise money and borrow money. This committee is also led by the court to ensure that the money lent out by each company can be recovered.

The court did not need to pay it by itself, but if the money was lent to Rome, it would immediately transfer to the court's ordnance supervisor, shipyard, firearm bureau, etc. to convert it into foreign trade ordnance orders. The money did not leave Dahua, and Dahua's military-industrial enterprises could still get a large number of orders.

With the concessions and tariffs of thirteen Mediterranean ports as collateral, Dahua doesn't have to worry that Rome will not be able to pay back the money in the end, unless they are captured by the Arabs or destroyed by the barbarians.

However, theoretically speaking, no matter how bad Rome is, it cannot be really destroyed. After all, Zhang Chao knew that Eastern Rome in history lasted for thousands of years and was not destroyed by the Ottomans later.

"I can't find a reason to refuse this request from Emperor Chiraclio," said the author.

Herak's face was full of joy.

But the Arab messenger was unhappy.

Who doesn't know what the hell was about Chiraclius and Herak and his son? Now that Dahua has agreed to their huge loan request, Dahua's ordnance warships will be continuously transported to the Mediterranean, giving great support to the Romans.

"Dear Emperor Dahua, our Caliph also has a gift for Dahua and His Majesty the Emperor, and a handwritten letter from the Caliph."

Zhang Chao's face was calm.

The eunuch took the gift list and letter and presented it to Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao opened it and browsed it. After reading the letter, Zhang Chao had no ancient well on his face, but his heart was very comfortable. The Arabs also wanted to borrow money from Dahua and buy Dahua's warships and weapons.
