Everyone understood Liu Bei's greetings, and Zhang Zhao took the lead in standing up.

"Lord, the lord has been in the Western Regions for more than a year, but I don't know where the lord wants to set up the capital protectorate?" Zhang Zhao did not answer Liu Bei's question, but directly asked Liu Bei a question.

"I've been thinking about it, but I haven't found anything appropriate." Liu Bei said.

"However, what does the lord think, how is the current Western Regions Governor's Mansion?" Zhang Zhao asked again.

"Otherwise, this place is very close to the Yumen Pass, which is not conducive to the governance of the entire Western Regions."

"Then how about the lord take a look at the southern city of this Gumo country?" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Liu Bei to answer, and directly asked Zhao Yun and Wen Chou to help open the map he was carrying.

"My lord, first of all, Nancheng is located at the confluence of the Yarkand River, the Hotan River and the Beihe River, and it is the upper reaches of the Hotan River, so drinking water is not a problem; Secondly, Nancheng is a necessary place for the Silk Trade Route in the Western Regions; third, relying on the country of Qiuci, it is a county with a large population; Fourth, the north passes through Wusun, but there is Tong Dawan in Shule County, which intersects with it. After the lord really unifies the Western Regions, Nancheng can become the real center of the Western Regions. Zhang Zhao said as he gestured on the map.

Following Zhang Zhao's explanation, Liu Bei suddenly became enlightened, and at the same time had to admire Zhang Zhao's resourcefulness, he actually directly saw his Liu Bei's ambition, and he had not digested the territory he had obtained at the moment for the time being, and when he digested it, he would definitely attack Wusun and Dawan. I couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Nancheng is really good, but Nancheng is quite small, and it needs to be expanded a little more!" Liu Bei nodded and said.

"Lord, what's so difficult about this, since the lord has already sat in the Western Regions, he can send people to build the capital palace, as long as he is busy with non-farming, and pay the wages of the people who build the city wall, so why worry?" Zhang Zhao felt that this problem was not a problem.

"What do you think?" Liu Bei has basically been moved.

"My lord, we all think that we can set up Nancheng as the location of the capital protectorate." The generals nodded in agreement.

"That being the case, the Dinggu Mo Kingdom and the Qiuci Kingdom were merged into Qiuci County, and the county was governed as Nancheng, and the name of Nancheng City was changed to Gumo City."

"At the same time, expand Gumo City, a radius of ten miles, and set the current southern city as the capital of the Protectorate Mansion, recruit laborers to build the city wall on a certain day, and all matters are in charge of Zhang Zhao, and Yan Yan and Wen Chou led the pro-guard army and the Shence army to assist."

"Move all the royal families of the Western Regions to the current southern city, wait for Gumo City to be built, and move to Gumo City." Liu Bei arranged them one by one.

The Wencheng generals who were arranged agreed to them one by one.

"At present, the Western Regions have been pacified, we should develop and prosper the Western Regions, and I don't know what you think about the development of the Western Regions?" After arranging the affairs of Gumo City, Liu Beiyou began to ask questions about how to develop the Western Regions.

"My lord, there will be something to say at the end. The casualties of our Hundred Battles Army Sons in this campaign are quite large, not because our Hundred Battles Army Sons are not trained hard enough, but because our army's armor equipment is slightly insufficient, basically all of them are armor equipment stockpiled by countries in the Western Regions, and most of them are leather armor. Lu Bu was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

"My lord, it is true that the current equipment of the army is basically based on the equipment stored in the countries of the Western Regions, and it is not as good as my Han armor in defense." Xu Huang also spoke.

This expedition to the Western Regions mainly relies on the wisdom of the people and the bravery of the soldiers, otherwise whether they can win or not is the same thing, and although the casualties are not large overall, the casualties are between one to five compared with the coalition army, but if the armor is better, it can be reduced to lower. (Civilians killed by Zhao Yun's tiger and leopard are not counted.) ）

"Lord, the generals said that they had heard about this matter yesterday, and I also discussed it with Zibu and Yuan Hao, after this battle, in the Western Regions, with the iron ore and coal mines produced in the Western Regions, the lord can directly smelt iron in the Western Regions to create weapons and armor, such as the armor and weapons designed by the lord himself for the tiger and leopard horse, the casualties of the tiger and leopard horse are very low." Jia Xu said out of class.

"Well, the armor and weapons of the tiger and leopard riding are special, and it is not a large-scale installation, but it can be transformed by imitating the armor of the tiger and leopard riding, but it can't be done by me at this time, and there must be special people to do this." Liu Bei thought for a moment, then frowned and said.

Liu Bei thought that Jia Xu wanted him to design part of the armor, and the iron spear and armor that the tiger and leopard rode were indeed designed by Liu Bei, but it was also a sketch, according to the knowledge of learning archaeology in the previous life, the importance of Guangming Kai was drawn, and the others were all designed by Ma Jun, and now Ma Jun has been sent to Yizhou, this matter is obviously impossible. Besides, he Liu Bei doesn't have so much time.

"The lord, the three of us have discussed, the lord can issue a recruitment order in the Western Regions, and anyone with outstanding ability in weapon forging, iron smelting, armor design, etc., can be recruited to the lord's command to design and build armor for the lord." Jia Xu continued.

"Well, this idea is really good, but not only in the craftsman, but also in agriculture, in this way, Zibu, after the discussion, people will be sent to various counties and counties to make a list, who has unique insights or abilities in agricultural planting and production, war horse breeding, weapon building, armor design and manufacturing, iron smelting and other aspects can go to Nancheng to register, participate in the craftsman competition or evaluation, and anyone who is recognized can be awarded official positions." Liu Bei commanded.

"No." Zhang Zhao agreed.

"In addition, Zibu, the cultivated land and population of the entire Western Regions need to be counted as soon as possible. All arable land is allocated on a per capita basis. Liu Bei continued to command.

"My lord, Zhao Zheng wants to report that the cultivated land and population of the Western Regions are being counted, but there are also many big families in the Western Regions, raising a lot of slaves, and also annexing a lot of cultivated land, so it can't be completed for a while because of the rule."

"It's a bit difficult, but we can arrange for all the slaves and land to be bought at a price, and if the families are willing, then they will spend some money, and if the families are unwilling, then the former military advisor Wenhe will be in charge of the matter. Once the land and population statistics are complete, the land will be allocated according to the capitation, and the land is not allowed to be bought and sold. "Liu Bei is a heavy code in troubled times, and the important reasons for the formation of gate valves are land, and books are second.

In terms of books, Liu Bei believes that in the next ten years, books will be spread to every family. However, once the land can be absolutely forbidden to buy and sell, this gate valve will lose the soil for production.

"The slaves who were purchased from the great families were all arranged together to reclaim the wasteland and the fields; In addition, in addition to daily training, all armies also need to participate in Tuntian. In this way, the Western Regions will not only be self-sufficient in grain, but will also have stocks. Liu Bei continued.

All of his men agreed.

"Rigorous, available." Liu Bei called the name of the leader of the caravan he had previously hired from Chang'an.

Hearing this, Rigor was also stunned, a few days ago I heard that Liu Bei laid down Yanqi, Rigor convened to lead the caravan all the way to Yanqi, and then there was a way to Guizi and Gumo, yesterday Liu Bei's personal guard came to inform him to participate in today's proceedings, he was really startled, since ancient times the city of agriculture and industry, as a businessman, he has long known that his status is not high, looking at the full hall of officials, he really found a place where no one paid attention to hide in the shadows, planning to leave after the end. But Liu Bei didn't let him go.

"Little... Small... The little ones are in! ”

"Why, why are you still suffering from stammering, let me ask you, where is the farthest country where the caravan has developed and the scale it has reached?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Lord... Lord, the caravan has grown to 5,000 people at present, but there is no guard, and because the South Silk Road is usual, it has already left Shule to Guishan, Kangju and other places a month ago! Perhaps less frightened than before, he began to speak smoothly.

"The size of the caravan is too small, it is best to develop the entire caravan to more than 10,000 people, so that there will be caravans to and from our Han and the surrounding countries at all times." Although Liu Bei was not satisfied, he felt good.

"The little ones know, and the little ones are working hard."

"Also, you can't always buy goods from Chang'an, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places are also specialty, you can consider it, and from the Western Regions, Liangzhou to the south there are Qiang people, you can send caravans to these places to develop trade, I am particularly interested in these areas, you can talk to me when the time comes."

"The little one knows." In his heart, he understood that Liu Bei meant to develop in the Western Regions and the south of Liangzhou.

And this remark had another meaning in the ears of Jia Xu, Tian Feng and Zhang Zhao, but they all saw that Liu Bei wanted to pay attention to the Qiang people, and then he wanted to collect more information about the Qiang people.

"Do you have anything to add?" Liu Bei asked again.

Basically, this discussion discussed all the military and political affairs in the Western Regions, so the officials did not add anything, and they all shook their heads and said no.

"Since there is none, let's disperse, Xingba stays." But there is still something to tell Gan Ning.
