Chengping 7th year, May 20.

Things are developing in a good direction, the integration of the troops has been completed, and with the full support of the imperial court, Li Xun has successfully dismissed nearly 5,000 soldiers.

Yuan and 2,500 people, 500 people were divided to set up the Military Discipline Department, which was led by Shan Qiu.

You Chong had 3,000 people, divided 1,000 people, and set up a patrol battalion, which was led by Zhao Wei and Zheng Chun.

Gan Tuyuan's army was reduced and replenished, and it was still 4,000 men.

Yu Yanhui was garrisoned by 4,000 men in Shazhou.

Nearly 500 pro-military battalions in Li Xun's hands.

Some people are promoted, some people remain the same, and the most lost one is probably Wang Chengxi, the troops in his hands have been abolished, although his own official position is still there, but in a real sense, Wang Chengxi is now a bald commander and has become a real loner.

However, Li Xun still saved him a little face after all, did not do things absolutely, wrote to the imperial court, and asked for merit for Wang Chengxi to take credit through the suppression of bandits in Suzhou, and recommended him to return to Beijing to serve, and the court agreed.

Wang Chengxi still has more than 2,000 soldiers in his hands, and he is still stationed in Shenchi County, and his reply to Li Xun is that it will take time to dismiss the soldiers and make arrangements for the aftermath.

Li Xun gave two options for the dismissal of the soldiers, one was to supplement the fifteen county towns in the three prefectures of Longyou West Road as city guards, and receive military salaries on a monthly basis, although it was not as good as the treatment in the army, but after all, he was still able to support his family, and the other was the same as the migrated people in the Central Plains, giving 50 acres of land at one time, and an additional year on the basis of the original tax exemption of three years, as a sign of bereavement.

Wuzhou Assassin Wu Heng's life was also very difficult, with the defection of Gan Tuyuan, Wang Chengxi's military power was seized, and the observation envoy in his hand was part-time, and after the imperial court issued an edict to add Li Xun's military authority and increase the official degree, it almost became an idle position without any real power.

Especially the migration of the people in Wuzhou, more than ten days, the work can not be carried out at all, the reason is very simple, Wu Heng does not have enough manpower to complete this work, several times to find Li Xun, but was rejected under various excuses, Wu Heng was angry, wrote to the court to complain, and no longer went to Li Xun to borrow troops.

Li Xun was very busy during this time, mainly busy with three things, one is the dismantling and integration of the army, this matter has been almost done, basically achieved the goal, the second is the early migration of more than 400 households, that is, more than 3,000 people to Suzhou, as a letter of nomination and a wayfinding stone, Li Xun in the matter of repairing the city, do a very authentic job, get the favor of many foreign people, so the migration, although there are some twists and turns, but finally completed, the effect is also very good, Wang Ren Zirconium is very cooperative, set aside the best fertile land for these people, houses and other utensils, All of them were distributed free of charge, and the foreign people who migrated from here were soon able to settle down and stabilize themselves, and the news was transmitted back to Wuzhou, which immediately caused a sensation, and the foreign people in Wuzhou dissipated a lot of suspicion, and began to believe that the migration plan of the Jin Dynasty court was sincere and serious, and there was no excessive discrimination between them and these foreigners.

The last thing Li Xun was busy with was to attract investment.

Although the Great Jin Dynasty was in Longyou, its military aspects had achieved brilliant results, but the finances were also further deteriorated, and in terms of materials and other aspects, Li Xun could not get any help from the imperial court at all, and everything could only be solved by himself.

With the peace agreement between the two countries of Dajin and Dashi, the situation slowly returned to normal, and many merchants from the Western Regions and Dashi began to pour into Wu'an City in search of business opportunities.

The overall policy of governing the country and the people of the Dashi Empire is somewhat different from that of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In the Great Jin Dynasty, Shinong industry and commerce, the status of businessmen is the bottom, in the impression of everyone, businessmen are selfish representatives, without them, the world will be better, and farmers are different, farmers do not farm, food will decrease, poor will change, change is chaos, there is no food, there will be people who take risks, the world will fall into turmoil, so the Central Plains Dynasty, all dynasties, for land and grain, the most important.

The reason is that Dashi has a stable grain producer in the Western Regions, they never worry about food, you are fortunate to farm the land, I will harvest it, which leads to the domestic Dashi businessman, the merchant style is extremely heavy, the current vizier (prime minister) of the Dashi Empire is a big businessman and a big landlord, and he is rich in the world.

The Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, the crowd surged, from the Western Regions and Dashi countries, hundreds of businessmen, gathered in one place.

Li Xun was originally just an idea, to convene the merchants of the Western Regions and Dashi countries to come to Wuzhou to discuss the possibility of trade, this matter, Li Xun originally wanted Zhou Qing to come forward to do it, but was categorically refused, in Zhou Qing's view, he is a scholar, dealing with businessmen, what kind of system, Zhou Qing refused to do it, there was no way, Li Xun had to come by himself.

Li Xun came to the living room of the Governor's Mansion and saw that the hall was empty, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Why is there no one?" Didn't I say that you brought the merchants here to discuss things? ”

Lei Wanhai smiled bitterly: "Governor, there are a lot of people coming, all of them are let in, I'm afraid some can't sit down, and it's too noisy." ”

"How many people came?"

"Nearly two hundred."

I just sent someone to Xizhou to convey my thoughts, and it attracted such a good effect, these businessmen are really positive!

Li Xun thought for a while and said, "In this way, let them elect ten representatives to come in and talk to me, and the rest of the people are waiting outside." ”

After a while, the noise outside gradually dissipated, and Lei Wanhai drove all the irrelevant people out of the Governor's Mansion.

Three merchants walked into the living room with several retinues.

"The villain sees the general."

Li Xun waved his hand, motioned for them to be exempt, and then asked strangely: "Why is it just the three of you, didn't I say that ten deputies will be elected?" ”

The three businessmen, an old man in his sixties, a middle-aged man in his forties, and a young man about the same age as Li Xun.

Among them, the old man and the middle-aged are all foreign faces, and the young man looks like a Han from the Central Plains, but there are some subtle differences in appearance and skin.

"General, although there are many businessmen outside, most of them don't have any strength, and the general can't talk to them about anything."

Li Xun glanced at the old man a few more times, this person was talking crazy!

Li Xun asked them to sit down.

Subsequently, everyone talked, and Li Xun probably knew the origin and names of these people.

The old man's name is Sheikhman, and his family is one of the most wealthy nobles in the Dashi Empire.

The middle-aged man's name is Avila, and he is a wealthy merchant from the Western Regions who was born in the Tribute Kingdom.

And that young man is called Ruan Donglang, a barbarian Cham woman.
