In the tent of Xu Ping not far from Lingzhou, Wu Zunlu saw Xu Ping greeting in front of him, quickly turned over and dismounted, walked up to salute, and said, "How dare you protect yourself and come out to welcome him? Isn't this a tragic destruction!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "You are a guest from afar, and I am a guest from a long time. I am a guest from a gentleman. You are a manager and in charge of civil affairs. I am an independent army. How can the general be in charge of the general's tent and wait for the people-friendly officials to come and pay their respects to you?"

While speaking, he took Wu Zunlu's hand and entered his big tent.

After the establishment of the Protectorate, it no longer managed civil affairs. As soon as Lingzhou City was attacked, Xu Ping would command the army northward. He asked the court to send a military commander to manage the captured Dangxiang area and recommended Wu Zunlu. The court agreed that Wu Zunlu came with the proposed Xingling Road Military Commander to be in charge of the civil affairs of the western part of Dangxiang. The eastern part was set up with the Yinxia Road Military Commander, and Fang Xie took office.

These two people were both Xu Ping's old subordinates when he was in the Sansi. They were proficient in official affairs, shrewd and capable, and they were both in their forties and fifties. At this time, they were not such people and could not control the messy Dangxiang area.

Xu Ping could not spend too much energy on local affairs. He had to prepare for the next battle against the Khitan. Human energy was always limited, and it was impossible to take care of everything. He should let go when he should.

After entering the tent of the general, he took a seat and ordered the guests to take a tea. Xu Ping asked Wu Zunlu for peace and stability and said, "There is a long way to go here. Setting up prefectures and counties, comforting the people, and all the creations are all hard work. The biggest thing now is that Dangxiang has not established prefectures and counties for decades, and all the territory is full of tribes. Even if there is the name of prefectures and counties, there is no reality of prefectures and counties. It is like Lingzhou in front of him. In fact, it only cares about the surrounding several miles, and the rest is all tribe system. The royal army of the court came from the north, even if it can destroy the Hao thieves and subdue the rich chiefs of the thieves, the people in the territory will still be scattered among the valleys, without judging the county officials. It is not easy to assign households and people here."

Wu Zunlu sighed: "This is what Xiaguan thought along the way. The people in Dangxiang have become accustomed to the fact that they follow the tribes. Suddenly, they have to organize households and all the people and set up officials. There will inevitably be countless troubles. The guardian army goes north, so what if there is chaos? The foreign people are both civilians and soldiers. If there is a disagreement, they will have to face each other. Without a large army, they will not be able to suppress it."

Xu Ping said: "It's okay. After my army goes north, Xu Huaide's army will be left for you for the time being. After destroying Weizhou, he will divide his troops to Yanzhou and leave 10,000 people in Xingling and the two prefectures, which is enough to deter them. In addition, I have selected the imperial guards on Jingyuan Road, and there are still about 20,000 people left. All of them can be transferred to Xingling and the two prefectures as soldiers of the inspection department. Jingyuan Road will recruit village warriors to enrich the local inspection department. Remember, you must not recruit foreign troops to join the army, as it can relieve temporary pain, but it will leave endless disasters!"

Wu Zunlu nodded. He understood this principle. Xu Ping submitted several memorials on how to manage the Party after the conquered the Party. Needless to say, the rest of the county and county were allocated, and the rest of the households were allocated to the villages, and the hair was tied to the villages, and the customs were changed. Not only did they need to use money and food to relieve disasters and soothe people's hearts, but they also had to send a large amount of manpower to the court.

Xu Ping specifically mentioned that the military forces in this area must be planned to not recruit soldiers from the local area for at least twenty or thirty years, otherwise there will be endless troubles. When they captured Jiangnan, they knew that the local armed forces were abolished. Dangxiang was a foreign race, so it was even more so. Never greedy for the use of Hu people to save money and food, but some money cannot be saved. I would rather use higher treatment to recruit soldiers from Jingdong and Lianghuai areas and let them bring their families to come. This money is not saved. Moreover, now the Sansi is not short of money, and developing this area may not be a loss-making business.

Except for the army, the officials who govern the local government are not recruited from the local area, and all come from the mainland. From the officials of prefectures and county magistrates to the clerks of the township in Yaqianli and other minor officials and servants, they do not need local people. After the surrendered party officials can respect them as high positions and give them a generous salary after the local government is stable, but they cannot give real power. The high officials and generous salary are promised by the court. The credit of the court must not be lost and should be given to them, but their original power cannot be retained, and all power will be received by local prefectures and counties.

The Song Dynasty had special channels, and no longer had to move people from the mainland to the border like the Qin and Han dynasties. The soldiers recruited from the mainland could be removed from the service three or five years later and become local households as the wings of the imperial court. The soldiers of this era were professional soldiers, all with their families, and they could settle in the local area after being removed from the service. The vacant quotas could continue to recruit soldiers from the mainland, and persisted for decades, and the population, culture and customs here changed. The lower-level officials who came could also handle this, let them bring their families, and the official allocated to the land, cattle and farm tools, and directly became local households.

Of course, a larger population filling still depends on various farms such as the field business under the Three Divisions. Recruiting people from the mainland, and then directly rebuilding land to develop agriculture. A place that develops mature land will become a village, and the field business will take a new generation of young and strong people to develop other places. As long as you persist for decades, you can open up farmland to Yinshan.

After the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, the people of the Song Dynasty became accustomed to being poor and rich, and were not as peaceful as other dynasties. As long as they were given enough price, they could attract people. Xu Ping had already done it in Yongzhou once.

Thousands of words can be attributed to the word "money". In the Song Dynasty, when there is money, there is everything, and the people are extremely enthusiastic about money. As long as the Sansi ensures a virtuous cycle of the economy, everything is not a problem.

As for the original local households, they should combine the tent into villages and turn nomads into resident herds. The official presided over the division of pasture land, build wintering sheds, and become pastoral villages. In the early stage, the field responsibilities can provide wintering grass, and the herdsmen can exchange it for livestock. In the future, farmers who specialize in planting grass can appear. After solving the problem of the living situation where the herdsmen relied on the weather and their lives were impermanent, the cultural psychology will gradually change. This area is not a problem of which ethnic group originated from, but a cultural difference brought about by different production methods. Even if all the people here are replaced by Han people, the production methods will remain unchanged, and there will still be a tendency to be centrifugal. Slowly developing, herdsmen can be transformed into farmers. As long as the land and water sources are suitable, they can still learn to grow crops.

When entering the hinterland of Dangxiang, Xu Ping specifically emphasized that all those who do not farm or herd must report to the Protectorate, and then they will report to the Risk Department. After all, this is to use class struggle to reduce the contradictions of ethnic conflicts. The herders at the bottom of the nomadic tribe are very miserable, and there is no pastoral pastoral song, and the existence of a large number of slaves shows the problem. With a thousand years of experience, you will know that after you arrive here, you must never rely on the former tribal leaders, otherwise it will not be changed. The court will give money to the court to go to the city to enjoy a life of food and clothing, and be raised by the court. The uncooperative leaders can only be the target of suppression. There must be so many soldiers stationed in these places. And if there are those who are willing to continue working with the court, of course they are welcome and don’t mind giving them honor and family to persuade the world.

This is a huge systematic project. After thinking about it carefully, Xu Ping spent countless sleepless nights and tried to consider as many details as possible based on his own knowledge.

For example, will the conversion of pasture land to farmland cause soil erosion and desertification? This was a common sense issue in Xu Ping's previous life, but it may not be possible in this era. In order to understand the doubts in his heart, Xu Ping reviewed a large amount of historical materials and combined with actual investigation, so he finally decided not to worry. Desertification has nothing to do with farming or grazing, but only related to whether it is over-development. Over-reclaiming farmland will cause desertification, and over-grazing will also be also. In fact, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, when agriculture was most developed, there were no deserts from here to Yinshan. Now the desert south of the Heishan Military Supervisory Office appeared after the Tang Dynasty, where abandoned farmland was completely changed to pasture land. A large number of Hu people moved inward, with sudden population growth, and excessive grazing. If this area was reclaimed into farmland, appropriate measures were provided to make that desert disappear.

He discussed the details of his future policy with Wu Zunlu, and it was unknowingly late at night. Xu Ping ordered the lights to hold a banquet and welcomed Wu Zunlu.

Liu Jianji and Zhong Shiheng commanded the war under the city of Lingzhou. Tan Hu never participated, and only Zhang Kang, Tian Kuang and Wang Kai were accompanying him. They are now generals, with positions as military officers, which are incomparable to the same as two years ago. As a strategic commander of the whole line, Wu Zunlu no longer has the power to use troops and is no longer a commander, but is equivalent to their actual status.

After drinking a few rounds of wine, Xu Ping said: "For our Protectorate, the most important thing now is to capture Lingzhou, so that the Gangxiang Haoqiu, who had not submitted to the court, would no longer be lucky, and then the army headed north. For Wu Jingluo, it was because his subordinates were lacking in manpower. The court promised to order the following officials to be registered and allowed to procure them. If you have suitable relatives and friends in your family, you can propose and ask Wu Jingluo to submit the court to serve in the northwest. This is a good opportunity. All new prefectures and counties will be eliminated, and then there will be a promotion rank. Moreover, when you come here to reduce the official position, you will be reduced by one year for the official position, two exams and one term, and two terms will be completed."

Seeing Xu Ping talking for him, Wu Zunlu quickly stood up to thank him, and the two of them drank a glass.

Xu Ping has a small family and there is no one at home. Only one father-in-law Lin Wensi. He is old and there is no need to come to the northwest to gilt. There are several other people in the family who are officials. After hearing Xu Ping's words, they remember them in their hearts and go back to consider them.

For ordinary officials, the division of the government is a watershed, and only with such experience can one have a future. Four-year and two-term reduction and grinding surveys seem inconspicuous, but in fact the benefits are very great. In this era, many officials were transferred to office in one year or two years, and were less than three years. The performance of officials is calculated based on the actual date of taking office and leaving office. The total number of years is calculated by the number of years. If the number of years is added to the day, it will be considered as one exam. Frequent transfers will be used to spend more than a time on the road. Four years in the northwest can be used as a general place for more than ten years of qualification. In this way, it is still very attractive to officials who have some pursuits.

Not to mention others, after following Xu Ping in recent years, Liu Sanbian still lived a life of writing poetry and drinking wine, and his official rank has also risen rapidly. During the same year, he had no outstanding political achievements and even reached the first tier.
