I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

This statement is widely circulated among the people, but it is just the queen's love affair.

After the Queen of Thailand ascended the throne, she took the lead in announcing that the three ports of Thailand would be leased to the Great Zhou forever for use as military ports.

It was then announced that the Kingdom of Thailand would always be a vassal state of the Great Zhou and was willing to join in trade exchanges with the Great Zhou.

Now, merchants from the Great Zhou have set out from the Nan'an Peninsula and headed towards the larger market.

As a wealthy vassal state, the Kingdom of Thailand did have the capital to trade with the Great Zhou.

These two policies were the Queen of Thailand's reward to the Great Zhou army for helping her regain the throne.

Next, the Queen of Thailand announced that she would follow the example of the Great Zhou Dynasty and carry out thorough reforms.

The queen decided to send an envoy of overseas students to the capital of the Great Zhou to study Chinese culture.

At the same time, the court of the Kingdom of Thailand was reformed in accordance with the system of the Great Zhou.

The Queen also made Chinese the second language of the Kingdom of Thailand.

All officials holding important positions in the Kingdom of Thailand must learn Chinese and pass the review before they can take office.

Up to now, Da Zhou has firmly controlled the entire Nan'an Peninsula.

Tang Yan rested and replenished supplies in the port of the King of Thailand, recruited a new batch of sailors, and headed towards India further west under the guidance of the Thai guide.

……

Prince Sudaman of the Turkish Empire finally arrived in Kyoto by train.

Kyoto's train station is located outside the city.

However, with the development of railway trade, the area around the railway station has now become a huge and bustling market.

As soon as the train stopped, Sudaman was startled by the big men who crowded up.

These muscular men rushed directly into the freight compartment at the back.

If someone with this physique were in the Turkish Empire, he would be directly selected into the Cellini Legion.

The Cellini Legion was a group of strong men selected by the emperor himself to join the Turkish emperor's personal guard.

The greatest military force of the Turkish emperor is the Celinili Legion.

Now, as the power of the Cellini Legion expands, they even have the ability to influence the Turkish Empire.

For example, Sudarman’s father was not the heir designated by the old emperor.

But the old emperor's successor offended the Cellini Legion.

The Cellini Legion killed the heir and supported Sudaman's father to take the throne.

So some Turkish people would joke that the Turkish Empire used the Cellini law of succession.

Sudaman's father was also constantly weakening the power of the Cellini Legion.

But the Cellini Legion is still the top military force in the entire Turkish Empire.

The Cellini Legion had an independent fief and separate financial power.

In these years, the head of the Cellini Legion was also elected as the Grand Zilvey.

The Great Zilvi of the Turkish Empire is equivalent to the prime minister of the Great Zhou cabinet.

But the power of the elder Zilvey is far greater than that of the Prime Minister.

Grand Zilvy controls the seal of the empire. The orders of the Turkish court must be accompanied by the seal of the empire for the local governors to obey.

The great Zilvets currently appointed by Sudaman's father all come from the Cellini Legion.

For a prince like Sudaman, pleasing his father is very important, and making the Cellini Legion happy is even more important.

Even if my father appointed me as the heir, I would be wiped out if the Cellini Legion was not satisfied.

Sudaman was very dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Cellini Corps.

So he never quite pleased Cellini's army.

This also made his chances of succeeding to the throne even slimmer.

But this time, Sudarman saw hope.

A huge oriental empire!

This vast Eastern empire might be his hope to succeed the throne of Turkey!

The big men crowded forward and began to unload the goods from the carriage.

The Beijing-Luzhou Railway is now a golden road filled with gold coins.

A delay of one minute is equivalent to losing a lot of gold.

The big men raced against time; they had to unload the truck compartment within an hour.

There is a huge clock on the platform of Kyoto Railway Station.

This was originally a gift from English merchants to the Emperor of Zhou.

But the Ministry of Industry quickly cracked its principle.

The Ministry of Industry quickly realized the importance of accurate timekeeping in this new era.

In the agricultural era, farmers did not attach importance to the specificity of time. They just needed to work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise.

But in industrial society, time is a very precious resource.

The time must be calculated accurately to the minute.

Just like a train timetable, it must be very precise.

If there is an error, there is a possibility of a train collision.

The same is true in a workshop. If the workshop cannot calculate time accurately, many tasks cannot be quantified.

The silk reeling workshop must determine the time for baking the cocoons.

The iron smelting workshop also had to determine the time for the molten iron to melt.

Workers also need accurate time to calculate their workload.

Clocks became popular very quickly.

Huge clocks are installed in workshop stations and even many public squares.

All government offices also used accurate clocks.

In order to divide time more accurately, Li Tian waved his hand and changed the twelve hours to twenty-four hours.

This way the time is more accurate.

Folk craftsmen also showed their talents one after another.

Once an exquisite pocket watch that could fit in the arms was made, it instantly became the standard equipment for the dignitaries in Kyoto.

This type of exquisite pocket watch can accurately display the time.

Some of the dials are made of gold, while others are inlaid with various gemstones.

This pocket watch, which was almost a work of art, became an instant hit in Kyoto.

The Welcoming Department of the Ministry of Rites was responsible for receiving the Turkish delegation.

The Welcoming Department was originally the department responsible for foreign affairs.

The Turkish Empire was not a vassal state of the Great Zhou. Officials from the Ministry of Rites found a capital city similar to that of the Qin Dynasty in the West in ancient books from the Han Dynasty.

It is said that the Qin Dynasty and the Turkish Empire seemed to be passed down from generation to generation.

The Ministry of Rites had no choice but to receive the Turkish Empire's envoys according to the same standards as they had previously used to receive envoys from the Northern Mang Empire.

Guo Ming, the director of the Welfare Department, has also just taken up this position.

The position of Sicheng of the Welfare Department is also a very popular one now.

There are rumors in the court that the Welcoming Guests Department is going to be upgraded half a level, so that it will become a department directly under the Cabinet.

Guo Ming is more dedicated and wants to be promoted smoothly.

The visit from the Turkish Empire also caused a small debate in the court.

Some officials who came from the school of Neo-Confucianism scoffed at the name of the Turkish Empire.

They felt that how could a mere barbarian use the title of empire? Only the sacred emperor of the Great Zhou could use this title.

However, some officials who had opened their eyes to the world thought that Turkey was also a powerful country.

Both Dutch and English merchants have stated that there is a vast empire to the west of them.

The same is true for the countries in Western Xinjiang.
