Luntai is a very beautiful place, with vertical and horizontal rivers and abundant water and grass, and it has always been a place that the major forces in the Western Regions have always dreamed of occupying, and it was once the core of the Chagatai Khanate.

The Western Chagatai Khanate was destroyed, but there were still 300,000 people here, who had been living as nomads; But now that the North Temple occupies the place, private individuals are no longer allowed to graze in the Western Regions.

This made the herdsmen very angry, but the north hall also explained clearly: every tree and grass in the Western Regions is precious, and whoever grazes in the Western Regions is digging the foundation of the imperial court; Whoever wants to dig up the foundation of the imperial court, the imperial court will cut off whose head.

There are three roads: one is to change to farming, and the other is to move back to the northern prairie, and leave the jurisdiction of the imperial court where you like to go.

There is only one death outside the three paths.

Of course, this is very cruel, for the times living here to come, leaving here is to leave their homeland, and their hearts are naturally ten thousand unwilling. However, the swords and guns of the imperial court were bright and cold, and they had no other way, including the entire 500,000 population of the Western Regions at the foot of the mountain, 100,000 crossed the green ridge to defect to the Western Chagatai Khanate, and 300,000 went up to the steppe along the northwest, and only 100,000 were willing to stay.

But it doesn't matter, whether it is the Mongolian steppe or the Western Regions, it is the jurisdiction of the North Palace, and Wu Qi can arrange it.

Of course, now that the news has spread to the east, the east hall and the south hall are trying to find a suitable population to move to the Western Regions, such a long way, it will take at least half a year to move over, and after half a year, the Western Regions may have changed to a different appearance.

Therefore, when Gong Qianbai arrived at Luntai City, he didn't see many people, so Wu Qi and Tian Sui Tho immediately moved everyone to a high place, and after the flow of water on the earth stabilized, they chose to settle down again according to the situation.

"The biggest problem now is the population problem, without the population, even your military rations are a problem! In addition, the Central Plains and Jiangnan have a large population, but the Western Regions is not a good place in their impression, and it is not easy to relocate some people. ”

Gong Qianbai and Wu Qitian Sui Tho stood together on the hill on the edge of Luntai City and looked down, and the worries in their hearts came out.

After listening to Gong Qianbai's words, the two of them also thought about this question in their hearts.

Seeing that the two did not answer, Gong Qianbai continued:

"The three halls in the southeast and north are very different: there are many mountains and rivers in the south hall, many islands, dense jungles, poisonous insects and beasts; The territory of the east temple is mainly plains, and most of the oldest and richest places are in the east hall; As for you here, the Mongolian steppe in the north, the Wusi-Tibet Plateau in the south, the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor in the middle, and the only good place is Guanzhong, and on the whole you are facing many more difficulties than the South Hall and the East Temple! ”

"Moreover, your territory is sparsely populated, and the immigration policy is difficult to implement, even if it becomes a second Jiangnan water town with this place, it will take many years to develop the population!"

"Let me give you a suggestion: Isn't Wang Meng's Right Ministry of Justice taking Chang'an as the capital, Chang'an City is within your territory, it is better to leave this matter to the Right Ministry of Affairs to find a way, you should make every effort to solve the problem of public security in the territory, exterminate the bandits in the desert first, and then reopen the Silk Road, and use the Silk Road to drive the population and development of the Western Regions!"

Wu Qi and Tian Sui Tho immediately bowed their heads: "The master's is good, this is indeed his own business!" There is no problem for the West Temple to take Samarkand, so that the Silk Road can be opened to a certain extent! ”

Wu Qi said again: "I still have a way, that is, Tuntian!" The vast Mongolian steppe is not suitable for cultivation, but disorderly grazing is easy to destroy the steppe, so I also talked to Tian Shuai privately about this issue, and it is imperative to nationalize all land; We're going to put all the men in the army again, but this army isn't a regular army, it's a village army......"

"Don't call it a country soldier, call it a reserve!" Gong Qianbai interrupted.

"Good! It's called a reserve! All the men are to go into the reserves, and let our own men be officers in the reserves, and let them graze for the court; Woman teaches her children at home......"

Hearing this, Gong Qianbai interrupted again: "There are many things that women can do, they can collect wool, spin and weave cloth with wool, and make the warmest and most luxurious clothes; They can be allowed to make mare's milk wine, they can also take care of foals, calves or lambs, or even cows with high milk production can be specially raised to make cheese from cows...... In short, women can do a lot of things on the grassland, but you don't know it! In my previous life, life on the grassland was also colorful! ”

Wu Qi and Tian Sui Tho wrote down the words of Gong Qianbai one by one, and these are all magic weapons for discovering the North Palace.

"At the same time, you should strictly limit hunting, usually do not hunt too often, only hunt once in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that you can not only train troops, but also protect livestock and population, and let the people in the territory always be vigilant! Wu Sizang can also refer to this model! ”

"As for the Western Regions, my suggestion is to focus on farming! If there is no longer drought in the desert, the Western Regions will become a wider plain than the Central Plains, and the population that can be fed is no less than that of the East Temple, which is why I asked you to take Luntai City as the capital. ”

"We get it!" Wu Qi said, "Thank you master for guiding us, we will now reorganize the 100,000 population of the Western Regions, let them become reserves, first graze for the imperial court for a period of time, and at the same time try to farm for the imperial court, so that there will be a good transition!" The 50,000 Wind and Thunder Army that escaped from the country now has strict military discipline and very strong combat power, and it is too much of a waste of military strength to stay in this Western Regions to suppress bandits, I am afraid that sooner or later I will have to go to Samarkand, and I don't expect them to settle in the fields; Therefore, I plan to start with 100,000 soldiers from the Central Plains, allow them to drag their families with them, and let them settle in the Western Regions with a generous policy! ”

"These should be fine!" Gong Qianbai said, "There is only one Japanese slave country to deal with in the east hall, and the south hall only needs to defend Zhu, so it is not difficult for them to help out!" However, Gong Qianbai's voice changed, "The word Western Regions is too old, and it is no longer suitable for us to use it as a name, so we need to have a new name!" ”

"It's not as good as this: the place between the mountains and the Kunlun Mountains is called Kunlun Prefecture; The place north of the mountain is called Shanzhou; The place east of the mountain goes all the way to Jiuquan, which we call Dunhuang Prefecture; The east of Jiuquan goes all the way to Helan Mountain, which we call Helan Prefecture; Yongzhou is still Yongzhou; In the future, the word Mongolian was no longer used in the steppe, but the Jinshan grassland in the east, the Beihai grassland in the north, the Hulun grassland in the east, and the Yinshan grassland in the south...... Appellation! ”
