For Himihu, the attraction of the second-generation national teacher of the Great Wei is simply far beyond the sum of the ten Japanese island kings.
This is not an exaggeration at all, even if she exchanged twenty Japanese kings for the second-generation national teacher of the Great Wei Empire, she would not choose the former, even if this national teacher does not have any political rights, even if this national teacher cannot Become an official and enter the official career.
After all, this Japanese island is just a very small place, and now the number of New Taoist believers in the Great Wei Empire has reached more than one million. In the future, it will definitely be able to directly cover the entire world.
Even, this new Taoism can be passed on forever, and continue forever!
Chapter 742 Process
Cao Ang nodded encouragingly and said: "Of course, but it's not so easy to sit in this position. You have to build up enough prestige, but don't worry, my husband will help you in these aspects."
Himiko nodded: "What should I do?"
Cao Ang replied: "I will help you write some articles, which can improve the philosophical theory of the sect, and even Taoist scriptures. You can regularly submit articles to Taoist newspapers, which can increase your reputation."
"Secondly, when you and the other wives follow me to the Western Regions, you can take this opportunity to preach widely. If you can make those small non-religious countries in the Western Regions finally believe in my religion, you can make a great contribution. "
"If you have maintained this for several years, with your ability, why not be at the forefront and become one of the guiding lights for believers in the world?" Hearing this.
Himiko was very excited. She thought that after she gave up the throne and married Prince Wei, she would live a life dependent on men from now on.
I didn't expect that by Cao Ang's side, I could not only be a vase, but also continue to do what I am good at and love.
"Yes!"
Himiko is very motivated, she feels that she has found a new purpose in life, and she is ready to use all her disposable energy on it.
Cao Ang explained the situation in detail during the dinner. The other wives were very surprised when they learned that they were going to the Western Regions in a few days, but they all had expectations.
For them, as long as they can be with their husband, no matter where they go, it is worth looking forward to.
Although the Western Regions are a bit desolate, I believe that with my husband's ability, everyone can still live a very comfortable and happy life, and he is not permanently stationed in the Western Regions. He will come back in a year or so at most. It's all about changing the environment to experience a new life .
Cao Ang continued to make preparations in various aspects, but on the second day, someone suddenly asked to see him.
Cao Ang asked, "Who is it?"
Lu Wen replied: "It's that foreigner who is stuck. He heard that you are going to the Western Regions, so he wants to ask to be a follower."
Roman merchant Cassius?
No, at this time, he cannot be called a Roman merchant.
Cassius has become a Wei nationality, so he should be called a Roman descendant of Wei, and he is an out-and-out businessman of Wei.
As the first group of immigrants, this person often travels to and from Anxi and Guishuang with his caravan.
Therefore, the understanding of these places is much higher than that of other people in this era, so taking this opportunity, he ran over to recommend himself to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang nodded thoughtfully, that's okay, if you bring this guy, maybe it will come in handy.
A week later, all preparations were completed, and Cao Ang was personally sent to Luoyang Railway Station by Cao Cao.
Cao Ang said: "Father, you don't have to worry. Although the situation in the Western Regions is complicated, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are leading the two major armies. Just relying on those juniors, even if they intend to cause trouble, they cannot pose a threat to Ziqiu."
Cao Cao nodded: "That's what I said, but you still can't be careless. You have experienced many battles. If you face the enemy in front of the battle, I will naturally not have any worries. No one in the world is an opponent of Ziqiu, but it is easy to hide from the dark. It's hard to prevent."
Cao Ang said calmly: "Your ministers should remember the teachings carefully."
This trip to the Western Regions, Cao Ang has a heavy task.
He wants to melt down the small countries in the Western Regions that are independent, take back the sovereignty from these small kings and incorporate them into the administrative system of the Great Wei, and then set up counties and counties locally, and set up a bureaucratic system according to the Great Wei model.
You must know that this is not an easy task, in fact, with the current military strength of the Great Wei Empire.
As long as the place is within reach, it is almost possible to attack and conquer. There is no place that can stop Wei's iron cavalry, but conquering a place is a completely different concept from annexing a place.
Are the British Empire and the American Empire strong enough in later generations?It can be said to be an out-and-out global power.
However, even at their peak, they were unable to annex a piece of land outside their own country.
The most cost-effective approach is nothing more than supporting the local puppet regime, controlling it indirectly in the form of a colony, and then absorbing the manpower, material and resources of the colony to strengthen itself.
Although the Western Regions have been in the past for hundreds of years, most of the time they were vassals of the Central Plains.
The Han Empire continued to send officials and generals and set up the Western Regions Governor's Office...the Western Regions Chief Official's Office to achieve management.but.
During the Han Dynasty, the central court could not directly control the countries in the Western Regions.
The countries in the Western Regions profess their vassals on the surface, but in fact they are all fools. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they fell to the Han Dynasty. When the Huns were strong, they fell to the Huns. The state collects taxes, and governs local manpower and material resources.
Such a place of scattered sand has been influenced by the Chinese civilization for 400 years.
But for now, there is still a gap with the Central Plains. It is easy to make them grandchildren with the national strength of Great Wei, but it is not so easy for them to fully integrate into Great Wei.
"Woo hoo!"
"Boom! Rumble!"
Cao Cao sent the roaring train, breathing steam, away from Luoyang City Railway Station, and headed for the Guanzhong area in the west.Xun He said with emotion on his face: "We used to have to travel at least three days and two nights to enter the customs. After the railway connects Chang'an and Luoyang, for example, it only takes a few hours to reach such a long distance and rough roads."
The railway is really a good thing. For a year before and after the construction of the railway in the Great Wei Dynasty, about 80 million laborers were used.
Now the total mileage of the railway has approached [-] miles. Although it has not yet formed a dense coverage network, it has at least traversed the core area of the Central Plains, and it will be centered and spread further in the future.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with the results of the railway, but he didn't have the heart to be proud of the railway at the moment.
He asked Guo Jia beside him, "It seems to me that it will never be an easy task to integrate the countries of the Western Regions. What does Feng Xiao think should be done?"
Guo Jia didn't think about this question for a while.
He is good at strategizing and winning thousands of miles, and he is also good at intrigue in the temple. Recently, he is actively learning economics knowledge.
He Gaituguiliu achieved the goal of controlling the Western Regions without breaking out a huge conflict and messing up the Western Regions.
It's not easy.
Guo Jia told the truth: "Feng Xiao knows very little about the information of the countries in the Western Regions, so he can't deduce a highly applicable plan for the time being, but His Royal Highness's strategic talent is superior to the next, since he is sure, there must be no problem. "
"makes sense."
Cao Cao nodded: "I believe that Ziqiu will not disappoint people. If there are things in this world that even he can't solve, then this matter is an unsolvable existence in this world."
Patted the big bald head.
Cao Cao figured it out. Instead of worrying about Cao Ang, it is better to focus on things that should be more concerned. For example, before and after Cao Ang left Luoyang, the navy of the Great Wei Empire had completed a new round of formation.
