Five hundred and seventy-four, countermeasures

"You have a good question, I'll answer them one by one."

Zhao Ping first glanced at Yang Yun and said, "I'll answer Xingkong first. Xining's troops are indeed inadequate, but they can also be solved."

When Yang Yun heard Zhao Ping's first answer to his question, he was overjoyed and asked, "Little Saint, how to solve it?"

"There are 100,000 Han people in Tubo in Xining, and they can recruit soldiers and horses from Han people." Zhao Ping thought for a while and pointed out a way.

Yang Yun shook his head and sighed: "It is said that there are millions of people in Tubo in Xining, and there are too few Han people."

This is a serious problem, and all the people present looked at the little saint and saw how he answered.

"Of course, we must consider this. We can try to summon Han people from Lanzhou to increase the number of Han people." Zhao Ping affirmed Yang Yun's concern and continued, "The Han people did not live well in the territory of the Hu people, so we can slowly migrate some of the Han people from the Western Xia and Jin Kingdoms."

"This is also a method, but it can only be carried out slowly to avoid attracting the attention of the Hu people. Little saint, how many Han soldiers in Xining should be appropriate?" As a "Senior Minister of War" in Zhaojiazhuang, Yang Yun continued to ask, this was his responsibility.

Zhao Ping thought about it, looked at a map of Xining, and turned around and said, "The Han soldiers in Xining should not be too few. If there is less, there will be no deterrent power. If there is more, it is not easy to recruit soldiers and horses, and it may also attract the attention of the Hu people. First recruit 10,000 soldiers and horses, and later 20,000, plus the current 10,000 surrendered soldiers, basically can deal with a larger war."

"Little saint, the official has no objection." Yang Yun nodded, bowed and signaled that he had no problem.

"Little saint, Xining is two thousand miles away from Xi County, and there is the territory of the Hu people in the middle. How can this be solved?" Cao Ke saw Yang Yun's problem solve and raised a question that everyone present was concerned about.

If the Kingdom of Israel is the first protector of Zhaojiazhuang, then Tubo is the second protector.

The Kingdom of Israel is a small country, but it is easy to deal with. The key is that it is still within the territory of Zhaojiazhuang and within the protection of Zhaojiazhuang's wings.

Although the population of the Tubo tribes was not as popular as that of the Song Dynasty, their territory was similar to that of the Song Dynasty.

The key is that Tubo is too far from Xixian, and the two sides are two thousand miles apart.

It would be fine if it was only two thousand miles away, but the Hu people were blocking the middle.

It would be easy for the Hu people to be friendly countries, but the Hu people are the enemy of Zhaojiazhuang again.

This is a big problem and is indeed difficult to solve.

Seeing everyone's worried eyes, Wang Wenxiu also stepped forward and said, "Xining Zhaojiazhuang has a certain foundation, that is, the current security team has been recognized by the palace. However, with Zamp's death, this foundation is not stable."

"The security team is equivalent to a seed in Zhaojiazhuang, which has sprouted and taken root in Tubo. What Zhaojiazhuang is doing now is to thrive on this seed and turn into a towering tree that can shelter Tubo from the wind and rain." Zhang Size followed and analyzed from a macro perspective.

He is the housekeeper (prime minister) of Zhaojiazhuang, and of course he hopes that Zhaojiazhuang will get bigger and bigger, and better.

"Xining now lacks workshops and craftsmen, which is a serious problem." Zhao Feiyang, the shopkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang workshop in Xixian County, put forward his own views from the workshop perspective.

Zhao Ping looked at the three of them and nodded: "You and the three of you are right. Xining has no problem with food and clothing. At that time, there were sheep and barley, but there was a lack of workshops and work. Now Xi County must establish a Zhaojiazhuang workshop. This is one. Second, Xining must have an official stationed by Zhaojiazhuang. Third, Xining must have a special envoy who represents me."

"Report to the little saint, the little man has received the rich favors of Zhaojiazhuang many times and is willing to go to Xining." Zhao Feiyang was the first to stand up when he heard this, hoping to repay his gratitude.

Zhao Feiyang is not old and is only in his thirties, but he already has a ninth-rank scattered official.

He was originally a businessman and had no chance, but with Zhao Ping's support and help, he finally obtained an official position.

Even if it is a ninth rank scattered official, the official and the people have two levels of concepts.

With an official body, those who want to control it at will are basically gone, and there is a layer of amulet.

Zhao Ping looked at him, and he was filled with joy. This person really felt grateful.

Not only is the climate in Xining far worse than Xixian County, the key is to start from scratch.

Zhao Ping nodded: "Okay, wherever you go, let's start the Zhaojiazhuang workshop, mainly wool workshop, firearm workshop, knife and arrow workshop, etc., making it another base in Zhaojiazhuang."

When Zhao Feiyang heard Zhao Ping's words, he was overjoyed. The little saint asked him to let go of his hands and feet and do something big.

"I remember, Feiyang is a ninth-rank scattered official?" Zhao Ping looked at Zhao Feiyang and asked with a smile.

Zhao Feiyang bowed his hand and did not know the little saint's intention, so he hurriedly replied: "Thank you, little saint, still remember, this ninth-rank scattered official was still the one who fought for the second saint."

"Since you are a scattered official in the Song Dynasty, it is impossible for you to be without an official position in Tubo. Now I recommend you as a member of the Ministry of Commerce of Tubo." Zhao Ping looked at Zhao Feiyang, and although his tone was plain, he shocked everyone present.

The rank of the official and the rank of the official was not low. In the Song Dynasty, it was from the sixth rank, and the rank was already above the magistrate of Chi County.

Even if it is a primary school country in Tubo, it is still a country. The key is that it is a real position, not a dispersed official.

Zhao Ping just wanted to let him see and follow him to do things without any unfair treatment.

Now Zanpu in Tubo is a baby who is less than one year old. He is still consuming breasts, so what can he understand?

Zhao Ping said it was a recommendation, but it could be said that it was basically an appointment.

Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one leg, saluted respectfully with both hands, and his voice choked: "I thank you little saint for your sage and follow you to the death."

"You have to be polite, this is what you deserve." Zhao Ping said lightly.

When he saw Zhao Feiyang talking about Xixian, the little saint made an arrangement immediately, which was a rare opportunity.

Wang Wenxiu could not suppress his excitement, and suddenly stood up from the civil servants and bowed to Zhao Ping: "Little saint, the official is willing to try it in Xining."

Wang Wenxiu's ability is obvious to all. Although Xi County is a county, its population is no less than that of a state.

When Wang Wenxiu came to Xi County, the population of Xi County increased significantly.

These populations are not local populations, most of them are from the Central Plains, and there are a few populations in the Xixia of the original Jin Dynasty.

They came to Xixian with hope to survive, and they would inevitably have certain conflicts with Xixian local area.

Wang Wenxiu handled all these well, and no major public security incidents occurred, and it was relatively smooth that these outsiders integrated into Xi County.

Although these are backed by Zhao Jiazhuang, his organizational and coordination skills are undeniable.

"If you represent Zhaojiazhuang, how can Xining do things?" After all, Xining is far away in Tubo, and the situation is very different from that in Xixian County, Zhao Ping decided to take the test.

This is equivalent to a big test. Wang Wenxiu bowed respectfully, thought about it, and organized the language.

Wang Wenxiu replied slowly: "The situation between Xining and Xi County is very different, so it should be based on stability."

"Is the idea good, can I be more specific?" Zhao Ping nodded, then took a sip of tea and looked at him, hoping to surprise him.

Wang Wenxiu pulled his finger and still spoke slowly: "First, Xining is a country with a great influence on Lamaism. Lamaism not only has a large number of believers, but also participates in politics. Second, it has certain civilians and a large number of slaves. These civilians, especially slaves, have extremely low status. Third, its court ministers and nobles have their own salt mountains, slaves, and soldiers, which is even more powerful than the Fan Towns of the previous dynasty. These ministers and nobles have huge powers and often confront the Tubo court, and it is difficult to upload and issue things to the court. Because this situation has been around for hundreds of years, it is difficult to change for a while, and it is necessary to mobilize the whole body, so they can only slowly. If the officials represent Zhaojiazhuang, they must deal with the relationship in this aspect."

"It seems that you have put in some effort to study the situation in Tubo. It is indeed very different from the Song Dynasty." Zhao Ping first affirmed Wang Wenxiu's statement, then changed his tone and pointed out the role of the special envoy. "But as the special envoy of Zhaojiazhuang, you cannot damage the image of the palace on the basis of striving to maintain the benefits of Zhaojiazhuang, but also strive to improve the status of the palace. Otherwise, not only will the image of the palace be damaged, but the locals in Tubo look down on Zhaojiazhuang even more."

"The officials received the education." Wang Wenxiu did not expect that the situation in Tubo was more complicated than that of him.

Zhao Ping thought about it and decided to tell the serious situation in Xining. So he continued to talk: "You not only need to deal with these relationships, but also prevent the Tubo ministers and nobles from jumping over the wall, colluding with the Hu people, and jointly dealing with Zhaojiazhuang."

Hearing this, Wang Wenxiu couldn't help but feel scared and sweated.

In Xi County, he didn't have to consider the Hu people at all, because the powerful Zhaojiazhuang had already solved all these problems.

"You don't need to think too much. First, Tubo also had troops stationed in Zhaojiazhuang. Second, the Hu people failed to attack Tubo, and just asked Tubo to surrender in the name of Tubo. Third, if the Hu people wanted to attack Tubo, Zhaojiazhuang in Xixian would not be a vegetarian." Seeing Wang Wenxiu's face change, he decided to give him courage.

Wang Wenxiu felt a little relieved and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Wang Wenxiu had a knot in his heart, Zhao Ping continued: "The Dalun Mansion in Xining is an extremely strong castle. It can not only station a large number of troops, but also not afraid of attacks by the Hu people. Now this castle is still in the hands of Zhaojiazhuang, so you can work there."

"Thank you little saint, when will you leave?" Wang Wenxiu was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Ping had considered everything in all aspects.

Zhao Ping felt funny and asked, "How do you go to Xining in that capacity?"

"I don't know this, so I can let the little saint arrange it." Wang Wenxiu thought that the little saint would not treat him badly, so he simply said.

Zhao Ping saw Wang Wenxiu's expression a little nervous, and knew that he was a little nervous.

Not only him, but others are also listening with their ears pricked up.

Zhao Ping said solemnly: "Zanpu asked me to supervise the country, and I also hoped to go to Xining to supervise the country. However, Chengdu Prefecture and the Salt Department have a lot of errands, as well as Zhaojiazhuang's tedious affairs, so I have no time and energy to Tubo at all. Therefore, as the special envoy of Zhaojiazhuang, you go to supervise the country on behalf of me. Do you know, what does it mean to supervise the country?"

After speaking, my tone became more and more severe and more solemn.

"The governor of the country means Zanpu. He controls the direction of the Tubo court on the basis of discussing with the Tubo ministers and nobles. However, the subordinates did not dare to make arbitrary decisions. They must send the meaning of the governor of the little saint to Tubo on the basis of seeking the little saint." Wang Wenxiu was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Ping really asked him to supervise the country and answered carefully.

Zhao Ping nodded, then shook his head: "The national conditions of Tubo have determined that they must discuss with ministers and nobles, but you must make your own decisions on the major issues of deciding the national destiny of Tubo. Of course, you can keep in touch with me through Feige, but you can make up your own ideas for some small matters."

Wang Wenxiu was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Ping delegated power to him.

Although Zhao Ping has to decide on major events, as a country's supervisor, Zhao Ping cannot command remotely everywhere.

Wang Wenxiu obviously has great autonomy, at least equivalent to the role of half of the local emperor.

Thinking of this, although his expression was still serious, his eyes were happy and betrayed him.

Although Wang Wenxiu hid very deeply, Zhao Ping still saw it.

"You are the main envoy, and there is another deputy envoy to Xining." Zhao Ping decided to hit him.

Wang Wenxiu felt a stern, and when the local emperor's heart disappeared, he hurriedly asked: "Little saint, the official wants to ask, who is this person?"

It would be really a problem if the deputy envoy opposed him everywhere and involved him everywhere.

"This person is Yuqishi. Now he is the chief of the Zhaojiazhuang School in Jingyan. He has been a miscellaneous official and can handle grassroots affairs with no means. You have been a magistrate, but you may not be familiar with grassroots affairs. You and Yuqishi cooperate with each other to check for omissions and make up for each other's shortcomings. Tubo ministers and nobles, even if you want to deceive you, you may not be able to escape your fierce eyes." Zhao Ping knew what Wang Wenxiu was thinking in his heart, and he said it slowly.

Wang Wenxiu may have a good intention, but he represented Zhao Ping after all, and was far away from Xi County. After a long time, he could not help but be proud and make irreparable losses.

Zhao Ping arranged the Yu Qishi because he was afraid that Wang Wenxiu's family would dominate. He not only wanted to check for omissions, but also wanted to restrain him.

Of course, in order to make Wang Wenxiu accept it, Zhao Ping's words were still nice.

When Wang Wenxiu heard that the Rain Stone started from the grassroots level, he was indeed not familiar with this part.

After all, he was the magistrate, so he just made a decision and then arranged his subordinates to do things.

Although he felt that Zhao Ping arranged Yu Qishi to supervise him, he was still acceptable.

Wang Wenxiu thought about it and felt that he would clarify the affairs between the two: "Little saint, how to arrange the master and deputy envoy?"

"You made a decision and signed by Yu Qishi." Zhao Ping came from the position of prefect and judging, which is similar to the officialdom in later generations.

It turned out to be similar to the prefect and the magistrate. Wang Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief and replied seriously: "Little saint, the subordinate official obeys the order."
