Chapter 1,394 Filled in

When Chaogu saw his old friend, his eyes were wet: "It's not a shame. Chaogu is not good at learning and cannot be appointed to the court. He is just doing his best for the country with a useless body."

Su You quickly looked around and saw that all the followers were far away, so he whispered: "Mr. Chao's identity cannot be revealed until now. Wujiu, you can keep it safe for me. Let's go, everyone.

Go to the textile factory and talk."

Chaogu helplessly said to Su Yuanzhen: "No blame, you see, only I, the Duke of Shu, the great Song Dynasty, can carry out the righteous cause as sneakily as the evil deed."

Su You quickly explained: "Brother Chao, please don't make trouble. This is for the peaceful transition of the three parties."

Chaogu laughed: "I wonder if the spirit of Longshan, who lives in the sky, would be so angry that he would use a ruler when he saw Hao Erlang, who wrote "The Journey to the Mountain", become like this now, hahahaha..."

"Oh, I just said it in a lower voice..."

Chaogu ignored him and raised the baleen riding whip in his hand: "Yuanzhen, let's have another competition to see who can reach the gate of Xingzhou City first!"

In the large bathhouse of the textile factory, the three of them were soaking in the pool. Su You said, "You can say whatever you like now."

Su Yuanzhen was so curious about this magical operation that she couldn't help but ask questions.

Su You and Chao Gu lazily soaked in the water. Chao Gu replied and Su You added. It took a long time for Su Yuanzhen to understand the whole story.

The Deputy Privy Envoy of the Xia Kingdom, who knew the secrets and was the leader of the entire Western Xia Secret Service, turned out to be a spy who had been lying in wait for twenty years in the Song Dynasty!

If the Xia Kingdom is not destroyed, where is the law of heaven?

However, Chaogu did not come here to talk to Su Yuanzhen about his great achievements. In the old city of Zhangye, he also recruited many divination tribes, numbering hundreds of thousands, who fled south to seek refuge.

These people were also resettled in Suzhou and Ganzhou and became a force for farming, mining and road construction.

Chaogu came here to ask for troops. The 700 new troops were guarding Zhangye, and their strength was a little weak. According to Chaogu's idea, they had to add heavy cavalry, at least the type of the 5,000 iron kites back then, otherwise it would still be a passive defense.

Su You said to Chao Gu: "Five thousand iron kites need to be accompanied by ten thousand light cavalry. Brother Chao, you can prepare. When Wang Junwan and Zhong Zhen's six thousand new troops arrive in Zhangye, you can arm them."

"With Tong Guan and Yao Lin, we have more than 30,000 troops in the northwest, including 9,000 new troops, 5,000 heavy cavalry, and 20,000 light cavalry. Is that enough?"

Chaogu said: "I still want someone from you."

"who?"

"Chen Jichang."

Su You was a little strange: "He is now the gangster on Hanshui Commercial Road, what do you want him for?"

Chaogu smiled and said: "Don't you know that outside Shazhou City, the countries in the Western Regions are fighting for their own good? Call Ji Changlai and help them straighten out their morals."

Today, the line from Khotan to Shazhou is the sphere of influence of the Yellow-headed Uighurs. Because of the reopening of the Silk Road, banditry has become rampant.

During the Song Dynasty, many tribes in Mobei relied on the secret police in Chaogu to provide security. The Thousand Miles of Silk Road outside Shazhou was indeed beyond our reach.

Su You thought for a while: "That's right. Now Hanshui doesn't need the underworld. Letting Chen Jichang go to Shazhou to take charge of the underground customs is a good use of his talents."

Chaogu said: "As long as he comes, I will supply him with weapons. Hasn't he been clamoring for Ban Dingyuan? Now is the opportunity."

Su You said: "Ban Dingyuan's wife is from Shule. At that time, the deputy envoy Li Yi was a coward and did not dare to go on an envoy. He complained that Ban Chao had a beloved wife and a beloved son and had no inner concern, so he forced Ban Chao to divorce.

wife."

"Fortunately, Emperor Zhang was quite wise and dealt with Li Yi."

"But Brother Ji Chang's wife is a lion from Hedong, so I don't know if he still dares to come."

The Chaogu thief said with a smile: "You said that I should write a letter to stimulate him, saying that my old friend was still alive. He first went to Xia and became the Deputy Privy Envoy, and then Qujie became the governor of Hexi Province in the Song Dynasty."

"Now that I am rich and powerful, I think of the meaning of Jinlan in the past and invite him to come over and share the glory. Will he come with a sword to take my head from my neck?"

Su You smiled and said: "Then he will travel under the stars and night! But you have to be careful, Brother Ji Chang is not easy to mess with."

Chaogu laughed and said, "I'm afraid he won't come! Anyway, brother, I have been in charge of Xia Guozhi's secrets. As long as he comes out of Shaanxi, he will be in my trap!"

Su You nodded: "Well, it's not fun just like this. It would be best if we get his wife and children over and settle him down after he leaves."

"When he is at his most arrogant and domineering, we will release the Hedong lion to scare him to death!"

Chaogu laughed heartily: "Wonderful!"

Su Yuanzhen looked at the two delinquent middle-aged men who were secretly discussing details: "Brother Chao, you were not like this back then..."

Chao Gu waved his hand and said indifferently: "Hey! Wu Jiu, you don't know, Brother Chao won't be alive today if he wants to be like he was back then!"

…

In the tenth month of the twelfth month of the lunar month, Zeng Xiaokuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said that Meng Ke had not received a title, so he requested that Meng Ke be made Duke of Zou.

Mencius' addition of titles and orders was a sign of "people-oriented" thinking, which was widely recognized in the Song Dynasty.

Follow the edict.

Gengzi, Shangshu Province was established. The emperor was fortunate to have Shangshu Province, so he summoned six Cao Cao, under the age of two, to inquire about his duties, and issued an edict based on his command.

In November, Ningxia Sanlu started preparing its annual report.

The ten major events reported last year, except for roads, have been basically completed. The training and distribution of officials on Ningxia's three roads has been completed, and the administrative structure of Ningxia's 26 prefectures has been completed.

His Majesty Lai has adopted a lenient and harmonious government, and the three parties have prospered and jointly praised the emperor's grace.

The population of the Third Road has increased again, and now the household registration statistics have been completed, with a total of 1.2 million households and 4.3 million people. There is also a floating population of 130,000 from the five prefectures of Hexi, resettling the Zubu and Baita tribes.

More than two hundred thousand people.

The total population of the Three Roads is now close to five million, which is equivalent to the number of Shaanxi Roads.

There was no famine in Sanlu this year. After the irrigation problem was solved, grain, fruits, pasture, cotton, and rapeseed were harvested again.

The Third Route established Changping warehouses in Ganzhou, Tanliangcheng, Xiazhou, Wuyuan, and Jiuyuan to collect and store grain from official fields.

In order to prevent the low price of grain from hurting farmers, they also purchased it from the private sector for seventy cents per dou.

After two months of intensive collection, the Third Road has now collected and stored enough grain for two years, and asked the imperial court to set up Changping warehouses in various places for management.

The three lines produced 25 million jins of iron, 60 million jins of coal, 3 million jins of copper, 600,000 jins of silver, and 30,000 taels of gold.

From Jiedan Racecourse, we began to transfer livestock to Weizhou Langdu Racecourse, including 100,000 horses, 300,000 cattle, 40,000 mules, and 3,000 camels.

This year Sanlu will supply 50,000 pieces of cotton cloth and 100,000 pieces of woolen cloth from the mainland.

Shazhou Customs and Lanzhou Forgery Market have a tax revenue of 4 million yuan.

In terms of expenditure, most of the roads planned in the early stages have been reconstructed, with asphalt being used extensively, and the most important Shalan Line has been completed.

The railway from Yinfeng Supervisor to Lanzhou has been completed.

The construction of the five prefectures of Sha, Gan, Su, Liang, and Lan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Wuyuan, and Jiuyuan, Helan Fort, Wulahai City, Heishan Fort, and Yingli Pass has been completed.

In terms of culture, all state schools and primary schools have been built and equipped with teachers. A total of 50,000 students have been recruited.

In addition to Dunhuang documents, Zhangye and Wuwei ancient city ruins, bamboo slips from the Qin and Han dynasties were also discovered.

The Great Twin Pagoda Temple was built under the imperial edict and has been completed. The great monk in red has summoned 400 monks and is currently translating Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures.

Confucianists were born one after another in Hexi. I asked Yu Sanlu to take the imperial examination next year and allowed the candidates to go to Beijing to take the examination of the Ministry of Rites.

Finally, now that the people of the Three Roads have united, I would like to follow the example of the Mainland of the Song Dynasty, lift the curfew, and hold lanterns, temple fairs, and night markets in the first month, so that the people of the Three Roads, like the people of the Mainland of the Song Dynasty, can feel the joy of the New Year!

When the report was delivered, everyone was shocked again. Su Mingrun turned stones into gold, and he truly lived up to his reputation!

When did the Third Road of Ningxia become a golden nest? If this is the case, why were the people of Xia so miserable during the reign of Li Yuanhao?!

Cai Que petitioned to send envoys to Sanlu to learn from the advanced experience of the Duke of Shu.

This proposal was rejected by Zhao Xu. This showed great distrust of the officials of the Three Routes. What should I ask? Zhongshu issued an order and ordered the Shangshu Province to transfer it to the Transport Department of the Three Routes. It will be reported to the public.

At the same time, he ordered the left Cao of the household department to go to the internal storage warehouse and go up the three roads to collect gold, silver, white jade and other items for hearing.

Order Shaanxi No. 4 and Najin No. 3 to count the cattle, sheep and horses.

When the final amount was presented, there was an uproar in the DPRK!
Chapter completed!
