By the beginning of January, it was basically possible to spin a globe with your eyes closed, then point randomly with your finger, and as long as you didn't land on an ocean, or in other words, hit a country or region, there would definitely be a senior representative staying in the Capital.
If it were the Tang Dynasty, the Honglu Guest House would have been filled with envoys from barbarian lands.
Fortunately, the Capital is a super city accommodating nearly twenty million people, so a few hundred more people doesn't really matter. However, it's imaginable how busy the relevant departments are.
The Honglu Guest House couldn't accommodate them all, so some of the less important attendants had to find hotels in the vicinity on their own.
To ensure the smooth progress of various tasks, including security, the Capital even transferred a batch of Dou Dous from Xilin to take charge of daily tasks in and around the Honglu Guest House.
