It would be too stupid to wrap all the trees in silk for the sake of face. In addition, all dynasties have always liked to engage in tribute trade, allowing foreign missions from foreign countries to come to pay tribute. No matter how much the tribute is paid, the court will definitely reward more than they pay tribute. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be that the Central Plains Empire lose its face?

Zhang Chao doesn't do such things.

Of course, tribute can be done, and trade can be done.

But one code is the same. If you come to pay tribute, Dahua can symbolize the collection of local specialties as tributes, and there is no need to ask for more. If there are too many, Dahua can purchase them at the market price.

Anyway, the kind of businessman who made up his country's name and pretended to be an envoy to pay tribute, but was actually a fraud in rewards, would definitely not be able to escape the situation in Dahua.

Although Dahua has been interfering in Western affairs, it is not a matter of worrying or making trouble.

The peace talks with the Arabs allowed Dahua to stabilize the Western Regions occupied after defeating the Turks and the Persians, stabilize the Western border, and allowed Dahua to re-operate and consolidate the Western Regions, and even the Xindu region.

The agreement with the Romans also allowed Dahua's maritime trade to maintain a good export momentum and the trade surplus was maintained very well.

The current diplomacy with the Franks is also an important step in Dahua's diplomatic strategy.

"Is Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others still quiet in Africa?"

Zhang Chao asked Ke Xiongfa, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Duke Li Zhi of Australia committed suicide, but Zhang Chao was unexpected. Li Shimin suffered a stroke after being angry. Wu Mei presided over the overall situation in the United States and persuaded Xu Maogong and Yuchi Jingde to accept Dahua's enthronement order, which also surprised Zhang Chao.

Originally, Zhang Chao thought that Li Zhi was young after all and had never experienced any storms. When his envoy arrived in Australia to announce the incident in the Central Plains, he would choose to compromise.

But he didn't expect that he would commit suicide.

He made good decisions about Li Shimin and Li Shimin would resist, and then he had to make up his mind to get rid of his worst plan. But a stroke allowed Li Shimin to avoid this disaster.

Now that Li Zhi committed suicide, he was eliminated by the Americans, Li Shimin had a stroke and avoided it, and now he is getting better again.

But Africa has always been quiet.

More than a thousand exiled princes were there.

Compared to Li Shimin and Li Zhi, Zhang Chao has actually been paying more attention to Africa. After all, Li Shimin is old and far away, and he can't come back even in his lifetime.

But Chengqian is still young, and he is a disciple he taught. Although he was too anxious at the beginning, he was afraid that he would become more and more courageous and stronger after experiencing setbacks. Especially, Changsun Wuji, the old man, is still there, and there are many princes there, and he is still very strong when he gets together.

"The Jinyiwei has been staring at the African princes. Since Chengqian arrived in South Africa, he has been fighting with local indigenous peoples. He trained militias, attacked everywhere, conquered many tribes, and expanded his strength very quickly, and occupied more and more territory. Now many indigenous tribes may be defeated and conquered by them, or directly feared his strength and surrendered to him. Chengqian now controls nearly a thousand miles of land and has a population of no less than 200,000."

"That's really expanding very quickly. It seems that he hasn't forgotten all the things I taught him at the beginning."

With a population of 200,000, there is already a considerable strength. Although many tribes conquered by Chengqian are still in primitive tribes, although there are many of these people, Chengqian has obtained some labor and has not greatly enhanced his other aspects.

South Africa is still very far away. If Cheng Qian could not develop his own shipyard, he would still be unable to do without the vast cage.

Shipbuilding and weapon manufacturing are important bottlenecks that limit Chengqian.

What Zhang Chao was more worried about was that the Chengqian Association would jointly exiled the princes in Africa, especially with Changsun and others. If they unite at that time, the strength would still be quite large.

Even if they do not have the strength to attack Dahua's colonies in North Africa and overseas leaders, they may have to rebel and become independent, and the court will lose control of them at that time.

The most direct loss is the taxes collected from Africa every year by the court and the various materials exchanged for transactions from the princes.

There is not much tax, but the resources obtained through transactions are quite a lot. The princes exiled to Africa and did not have the ability to process and manufacture. They all rely on the import of goods from the court to exchange them with their local resources and specialties.

"It's time to start building some new overseas colonies in Africa," said Zhang Chao.

Cheng Qian is very honest in South Africa, devoted himself to developing his own territory and conquering the surrounding natives everywhere. But the more honest he is, Zhang Chaoyue felt that Cheng Qian was holding on.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. Chengqian is definitely not a willing person. Judging from what he does now, I am afraid that one day he will rebel after he is full of wings. Instead of waiting until then, it is better to take action now. Just like Australia, if Chengqian is eliminated, then his fiefdom and population will be immediately converted into overseas leaders directly under the imperial court."

As soon as Li Zhi died, Australia was changed to Dingnan Prefecture. Everything went smoothly and it would be a disaster for the court forever.

"Things are not that simple." Zhang Chao shook his head.

"And I don't want to kill Chengqian either."

"But sooner or later he will be a disaster."

Ke Xiaoba suggested to the emperor that their Jinyiwei could completely eliminate Chengqian without knowing it, so that people could not see that he was killed and could disguise himself as an invisible accident.

"The imperial court has more than a thousand exiled princes in Africa. Do I want to make them all die unexpectedly?" Zhang Chao shook his head with a smile. Not to mention whether he could do it, even if he could do it, it would be too obvious.

If the court really wants to do this, they are afraid that these people will be killed.

Not to mention that the court has to work hard to quell the rebellion in Africa, but even if it is pacified, so what?

When the imperial court wanted to exile those people, in addition to driving them out of the Central Plains, the more important reason was to let them be vanguards to open up a new continent.

It's only a little while now, everything has just begun. The court sent a large army to destroy them, and there was nothing but a wilderness.

This is not what Zhang Chao wants.

Although Cheng Qian and the others may become future troubles and may rebel and become independent in the future, that is only at the worst.

Zhang Chao still has time and opportunity to prevent these from happening.

Establishing some more colonies in Africa is also a way.

The imperial court did this in Australia and America, and let the exiled people go to the base to play the vanquished, and gained a foothold. The imperial colonial company followed up.

There are the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, and the Mediterranean routes in Dahua's hands, so East Africa and South Africa where the exiled princes will not become any commercial route.

If it is not an important trade route, then development will be difficult.

"Don't touch Chengqian without my will, don't cause any accidents for me. I don't like accidents, and I can also know if it's an accident."

The Jinyiwei is an important tool for Zhang Chao. This sword is very sharp, so Zhang Chao also paid special attention to the inability to control this sword.

If this sword has its own ideas, it would be too dangerous.

He now warned Ke Xiongfa not to act on his own. If he dared to take this dangerous step, Zhang Chao would never show mercy.

Ke Xiongfa felt a murderous aura sweeping over him in an instant, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck and his hair stood up.

"I dare not act rashly."

"That's good."

"Just stare at them."

A little later, Zhang Chao and Ma Zhou walked their dog together. Speaking of this, Ma Zhou also agreed to accept the consequences of the matter. "Your Majesty decided to let them go and settle them with a generous heart. If you go back on your word, it will only disappoint the world."

"In other words, Cheng Qianruo really had something that shouldn't have, and he really did such an irreversible thing. In fact, for the court, the latecomer is the best time, and even if the latecomer is in charge, the court can still deal with them."

"You're right."

"Your Majesty, the 400,000 tax police have basically completed the recruitment and establishment. They are basically composed of retired soldiers. With a little training and integration, they can be officially put into use."

"Very good. Dahua now loses at least 100 million in taxes every year. With these 400,000 tax police are used to collect taxes and anti-smuggling, I hope it will be effective. I may not set a high goal, but the goal of reducing losses by half should be achieved."

The loss of 100 million yuan is reduced by half, which is 50 million yuan.

50 million trump cards, this is also a huge sum of money for Dahua.

With so much money, it can almost maintain the military expenditure of the 680,000 regular army in Dahua for one year during the war. If so much money is spent on transportation, education and medical care, it can be better to build several national highways and build more hospitals and schools.

"In the Fusang side, the old Japanese nobles and powerful men have rebelled one after another." Ma Zhou reported another news.

After Fusang was conquered, he had already handed over to the prince to become his prince's fief. Now the prince is in charge of Fusang himself. The prince implemented the post-war policy in Fusang, and the implementation of the land collection order and the Qing owed order, which has angered the old nobles and powerful people in Japan. These people who had already surrendered have all rebelled one after another, and it was full of war.

Zhang Chao didn't care if he heard this.

It is expected that the Japanese will rebel, and it must be even within the expectations of the prince.

"The policies such as the Juntian Order implemented by Sui Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty after pacifying Chen were also aroused a great rebellion among the powerful people in Jiangnan, but so what? Emperor Wen of Sui only sent two generals Yang Su and Shi Wansui to quickly wipe out the fire of the rebellion that burned across Jiangnan."

"If you don't destroy it, you won't be established. Yang Su and Shi Wansui quelled the Jiangnan rebellion, and then Yang Guang guarded Yangzhou and led Jiangnan. Jiangnan was officially included in the rule of the Sui Empire. This time, the Japanese were sanctioned in March, and many Japanese were still unwilling to accept it. Sooner or later, these people would have to do something. This time, they were just a matter of attracting snakes out of the hole and caught them all. It was a one-time and for all to eliminate future troubles."

Ma Zhou asked, "Do you need to transfer some more troops into Fusang?"
