At present, the Hexi Jiedu Mansion is under the Cao Division, the Hu Cao Division, the Bing Cao Division, the Cangcao Division, the Fa Cao Division, the Kai Cao Division and the Tuntian Division, a total of seven divisions, and then the following offices, the military participation of each division is equivalent to the squire, the order is equivalent to the temple supervisor of the imperial court, the long history is equivalent to the prime minister, the record of the army Zhang Qiu'an and the other driver Cao Wannian are equivalent to the deputy prime minister, assisting the long history, Sima Li Luo is equivalent to the servant, playing a supervisory role.

Although there are still some deficiencies, it is more suited to the reality of the integration of military and government in Hexi, and the biggest characteristic is that the direct subordinates of each Cao Division are engaged in managing military affairs, and the orders issued by Cao Si are in charge of civil affairs, and both military and political affairs are in charge.

The minting of coins is under the jurisdiction of the Tosho Division, which has the Salt and Iron Bureau, the Tax Office, the Treasury and the Minting Office, which is also an extremely important department.

Hu Cao Shen military Li Yangui owed: "The casting of money is divided into three steps, one is to prepare materials, including refining copper, preparing tin wax and other auxiliary materials, making mother money, making wax models, these have been completed, the first batch of refined copper 200,000 catties, the second step is to recruit craftsmen, and the money casters have also been in place....."

"Are the money casters those craftsmen in the Longyou Money Mint?" Guo Song interrupted him and asked.

"Exactly! A total of 120 people, migrated from Lanzhou, from tomorrow the third step of coinage, we have prepared ten furnaces, each furnace can mint 3,000 yuan, a total of 30,000 copper coins. ”

"How much can you cast in a year?" Guo Song interrupted him and asked.

"Up to 100,000 a year!"

Pan Liao replied: "If we build too much, we don't have the corresponding materials to correspond, which will cause prices to skyrocket." ”

"What if you export the money and buy supplies from elsewhere?" Guo Song said again.

"Then you have to buy materials, make you, everyone is not stupid, we destroyed Shatuo, immediately a large number of merchants poured to Hexi, all want to get a piece of the pie, there are feudal towns in various places, we have taken a lot of restrictive measures, such as only accepting silver and gold, reducing the import of copper coins, if we go to buy other people's materials, we will also be stopped by others."

Only then did Guo Song realize that the problem now was not how much money to mint, but that there was too much money in the market.

Pan Liao said earnestly: "There is a saying that you don't vomit unpleasantly, now we have 60,000 soldiers, each of whom has three times a month, a month is 180,000 yuan, and a year two million yuan, this purchasing power is too huge, so that the king, with all due respect, the population of Hexi is too small, and he really can't bear such a big pressure." ”

"But the feudal towns in Hebei and Shandong are all more than 100,000 feudal towns, and Zhu Zhu's army even reached 300,000 people."

"The envoy should know that their expansion of the army is at the cost of the bankruptcy and displacement of thousands of people, and the envoy wants the people to live well, but maintains a high army, which in itself is difficult to achieve both."

"So what do you say you should do?" Guo Song asked.

Several officials glanced at each other, and Pan Liao said: "There are only two ways, either disarm and reduce military spending, or expand and get more people to support." ”

........

After the discussion, Guo Song said to Pan Liao: "Old Pan, accompany me to the city for a walk!" ”

Pan Liao knew what Guo Song wanted to talk about, he followed Guo Song to the city, the two walked to the city wall, looking at the grassland in the distance, Guo Song said: "I know you still have something to say to me, now there are only the two of us, you can speak out." ”

Pan Liao was silent for a moment and said: "The envoy is now a Hexi domain town, which is a fact recognized by the people of the world, but what the envoy is going to do next, whether to be a well-guarded domain town, stick to his own one-acre and three-point land, or actively develop outward, everyone is very concerned." ”

"And what about everyone's expectations?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

Pan Liao looked into the distance and said: "Envoy, you have to understand a truth, everyone has their own ambitions, or ambitions, they are loyal to the envoy, is to hope to realize their dreams from the envoy, the clerk wants to become the county commander, the county commander wants to be the assassin history, the assassin high-ranking officials want to be the squire Shangshu, the soldiers also hope to obtain military merits and land, to create a rich life for themselves and future generations, what the envoy does does not represent himself, but represents the dreams and expectations of thousands of subordinates." ”

Guo Song looked into the distance and asked, "What is Pan Changshi's dream?" ”

Pan Liao's eyes moistened a little, "My biggest dream in this life is to become the prime minister, let my ancestors be proud of me, and let my descendants worship me from generation to generation. ”

"And me!"

Liang Wu didn't know when he appeared behind him, he slowly stepped forward and said, "Envoy, I also have a dream?" ”

Guo Song gave him a light punch and said with a smile: "You stinky boy still have dreams?" Go ahead! What are your dreams? ”

Liang Wu looked at the east and said with a solemn expression: "My dream is to become a hero of the founding of the country, so that the monarch can build a new Lingyan Pavilion and put my portrait first." ”

...........

Time in a blink of an eye to October, several carriages guarded by three hundred warriors drove into Liangzhou, Guo Song personally led a thousand cavalry to wait for a long time, Guo Song stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "Welcome Dugu girl to Hexi!" ”

The person in the carriage was Dugu Youlan, who came from Yuanzhou, with more than a dozen maids and servants, and three hundred flying fox guards to protect her.

At this time, Dugu Youlan is no longer dressed as a female warrior, but has resumed everyone's beautiful dress, with a little powder on her face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, a single ring bun on her hair, wearing a red palace skirt, a pale yellow undergarment, her arms are surrounded by colorful silks, and her beautiful eyes are shy and timid, which is particularly bright and moving.

Although Dugu Youlan is the youngest daughter of Dugu Qiu, she is not a concubine, between her daughter and her concubine, her mother is the continuation of Dugu Qiu, but Dugu Youlan is the youngest child of Dugu Qiu, and she is deeply loved by him.

This time and Guo Song marriage, the Dugu family was originally arranged to be the daughter of Dugu Beiqiu, the third brother of Dugu Youqiu, but Dugu Youlan hoped that her father could give her a chance, she ran to Zhangye by herself, won Xue Tao's love, Xue Tao named by Dugu Youlan to marry, for their own happiness, Dugu Youlan is also actively fighting, Dugu Youlan finally decided to marry her and Guo Song.

Dugu Youlan is only eighteen years old this year, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage, generally speaking, she should be married to other Guan Long families, if nothing else, her husband should be Dou Hong, the third generation of the Dou family, and it can be regarded as relatively good.

But Dugu Youlan admires the heroes of the world, and looks down on Dou Hong, a child of a family who relies on the family, but she despises young traitors like Tian Yue and Li Na, but she has a soft spot for Guo Song who recovered Hexi and rebuilt Anxi and Beiting, even if she is not married to a wife, she is willing.

In fact, it's not just her, there are countless famous ladies who want to marry Guo Song, but Dugu Youlan is very lucky, Guo Song also wants to marry the Dugu family, and she got this precious opportunity.

Dugu Youlan didn't dare to look at Guo Song, and said in a low voice: "Youlan was ignorant in the past, and I ask Guo Yuanjun to be tolerant and understanding." ”

Guo Song laughed, "It's a family in the future, and the lady is looking forward to your going!" ”

At this time, Dugu Ming, the leader of the Flying Fox Guard, stepped forward and saluted, "My lord commanded, until the girl is handed over to the envoy, then our task will be completed, and in the future, please treat my girl well!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "Please rest assured, please also reply to the head of the Dugu family, Miss Youlan will be my side concubine in the future, Guo Song will definitely treat him with courtesy!" ”

The Flying Fox Guard warrior saluted, and the three hundred warriors neatly turned their horses' heads and galloped away, Guo Song looked at the warrior in the distance, and nodded secretly, this warrior is good, I hope that one day I can use it for myself.

Guo Song also turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go!" ”

This time Guo Song came to Liangzhou to greet Dugu Youlan is actually Yan Zhenqing's meaning, since he doesn't plan to make a big deal of marriage in Zhangye City, but he still has to give the Dugu family face, so it is a good way to let the man go to Liangzhou to greet his relatives, not only to welcome the relatives in the wedding, but also to give the Dugu family enough face, and to be relatively low-key, it can be described as the best of both worlds.

Guo Song rode a horse to guard Dugu Youlan's carriage, and led the team to Zhangye City in the north.
