"When I see the young master, I will definitely recommend it to you." , Li Dahai said sincerely. Although Gao Yi didn't know who the young master in Li Dahai's mouth was, he talked all the way, but he knew that the place they were going to was the Daliao territory west of Huihe.

So he secretly guessed in his heart that the young master Li Dahai was talking about might be a royal relative of Da Liao.

For the Khitans, he didn't have much resistance in his heart. Because after the Khitans rebuilt the Liao State in the Western Regions, many Khitan tribes often migrated westward from the Xia State. At that time, not long after he joined the army, he personally 'escorted' the migration of the Khitan tribe.

Anyway, Xia Guo can't go back now! Neither the Mongol Great Khan nor the lord of the kingdom would spare him. So it's better to follow Li Dahai and go to Daliao to have a look.

He showed a feeling of emotion, as if he was very encouraged. Li Dahai followed up with a few words of praise, and in front of everyone, announced that he would be rewarded with ten gold.

This drew applause from the crowd. It is also known that if Gao Yi did not come forward. Now, then, they will surely die in the mouth of the wolf.

Therefore, seeing Gao Yi's reward of ten golds, everyone was really happy for him in their hearts.

Then everyone cleaned up for a while, and it was dawn. After eating some dry food, I hurried on my way. The two dead guards were burned to ashes on the spot. Otherwise, it is likely that the wolf will pick up the mound and eat it raw.

The wounded guards made simple wooden carts out of wooden planks. so that the camels can pull it all the way west. The whole speed has also been slowed down a lot. Although at this time, Li Dahai can give up these wounded. But they came from the sea together, and traveled to Song, Jin, Xia and other places. If we didn't work together on the road, we wouldn't have been able to get here.

In addition, the later trade in the east was indispensable for these people to lead the way. Therefore, their value is immeasurable.

Li Dahai would rather walk slower and try his best to bring these people to Li Chengji's side.

In this way, in late spring and early summer, the territory of Khorasan also ushered in a bumper harvest of wheat. This is winter wheat, wheat seeds collected from merchants from Kievan Rus' by the Department of Agriculture under the Governor's Office of Khorasan. Combined with the local wheat varieties of Khorasan, it is mixed and cultivated step by step.

In terms of cold resistance, it has been greatly improved. In fact, before that, there were sporadic cultivation in the land of Khorasan. It's just that due to the climate, the yield has not been high. This time, the Department of Agriculture selected different varieties for cross-breeding. Finally, a winter wheat variety suitable for the land of Khorasan and with good yields was bred.

This has provided a great boost to agricultural production in Yeli, Malu, Tus and other places. And dramatically, alleviating the impending food crisis.

At this time, the Governor's Office of Khorasan also made systematic changes to the county administration within the territory. First of all, the administrative hierarchy is divided into four levels: county, county, town, and village. Puhua, Amu, and Naheisha are not merged into one county.

It consists of Puhua, Amu, and Naheisha counties, and the county is located in Puhua. Fifty miles east of the town of Qierman, it borders the Western Karakhanid State. To the west, it is bounded by Ryan in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River and Khorezm. So that most of the Zeravshan-Karshi steppe is included.

In later generations, Puhua was roughly divided into all of Uzbekistan's Bushkadarya Oblast, most of Bukhara Oblast, Navoi Oblast's southern border near the water area, and Turkmenistan's Lebapu Oblast.

Although the territory seems to be large, three-fifths of the land is desert Gobi. Only where the river flows is suitable for human survival.

There are more than 600,000 people in each household! Among them, there are more than 300,000 people in Puhua City. Compared with the river province of the Western Qarakhanid, it is not much more than a concession.

However, since the provincial government moved south to Malu, Puhua's population has had a relatively large outflow. However, most of the officials and craftsmen who moved away, and the original wealthy households did not all evacuate. As a result, Puhua's business scale has not shrunk significantly.

Not only that, but because of the presence of the governor of Khorasan in the land of Badaha, many merchants of the Eastern Qarakhanid Kingdom came to Puhua to trade through the narrow strip of the Wakhan Corridor. To a certain extent, a trade route was opened for direct trade with the Eastern Kharat Khanate.

Next is Banseong-gun, where the seat of the county remains the same, and the administrative hierarchy remains the same. In addition to the four counties of Dierm (Termez), Kalifu (Kalkin), Sapurgan (Hibergan), and Ban Cheng (Mazar Sharif), it also includes the counties of Talihan (Talukan), Baharan (Baghlan), and Antanrozhan (Andarab) to the west. Counting up, there are seven counties in total.

Among the counties of Khorasan province, it is considered to have the largest number of cities.

According to the administrative divisions of later generations, it covers the Surkhan Oblast of Uzbekistan, the Haralong Oblast of Tajikistan, the southern mountainous region of Dushanbe State Territory, the northern mountainous areas of Faryab Province, Juzrou Province, the northern mountainous region of Sar Pul Province of Afghanistan, Balkh Province, Samangan Province, Kunduz Province, Baghlan Province, Takhar Province and other places.

It is centered on the valley of the upper Amu Darya River and encompasses the entire mountain valley. And because of the existence of rivers, there is more arable land that can be cultivated here. In terms of agricultural conditions, it is much better than that of Puhua County.

The west side is bounded by the Iron Gate Pass, which is connected to Puhua County. To the east, with the Badaha Wound as a buffer zone, it reached the west bank of the Penchi River. It is separated from the capital of the Eastern Kara Khanate, Kashgar, only by a section of rugged green mountains. To the north is the perennial snow-capped Tien Shan Mountains, and to the south is the Gur Mountains, which are controlled by the Gur people.

It is a basin terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the Amu Darya River valley in the west is a gap to the outside world.

In order to guard against the invasion of the Gelcha tribe and the Gur people, Li Chengji built forts in the Penchi River valley and some important mountain passes in the Hindu Kush Mountains. And from time to time, small groups of soldiers and horses are sent into the mountains to hunt to maintain a certain deterrent.

There are more than 400,000 people in each household, mainly the Gelcha people.

Then there is Malu County, because it is the seat of the governor's palace of Khorasan, so the situation is more special. Even if there is a single county, the level is faintly half a level higher than that of other counties. Correspondingly, the rank of the county guard, emir, and cadi here is also the same as Diwan.

In terms of jurisdiction, it is roughly the same as that of the former Maru County. To the south is Nisa County (eighteen km northwest of Ashgabat) north of the Kopet Mountains, and to the east is the Karabir Highlands. Basically, it was all of the Mare Oblast of Turkmenistan and most of the southeastern part of the Akhal Oblast. The border lines with Iran and Afghanistan are generally the same.

But here Andicon has moved twenty miles to the south. As a result, Andiqu (Andhui), which originally belonged to the province of Faryab in Afghanistan, was included in the rule of Maru County. This makes it impossible to close the gap in the valley of the upper Amu Darya River.

In addition, Salah Hes County, in the northeastern corner of Lazavi Khorasan Province in the Iranian direction, is also under the jurisdiction of Malu County. As a result, the exit from the Mashhad Valley is in the hands of Maru County.

Obviously, this is for political reasons!

There are many deserts in the territory, and less than one-fifth of the land can be cultivated and grazing. However, because it is located in the heart of Khorasan, it can connect the east, west, north and south. Therefore, the advantageous location advantage makes its business an important pillar of the development of Maru County.

There are more than 200,000 people in each household, and the Gusi people account for a small half. The city of Malu alone has a population of nearly 170,000. The merchants in the city were mainly Sogdians. As time passed, the population of Malu would grow more and more under the influence of provincial governance.

Although it is unlikely to catch up with Puhua County, with the population of Malu City alone, it can still compete with Puhua City.

And then there's the county of Toos. The entire territory of the former eastern part of Persia was basically under its control. Heading south all the way to Sistan. It includes the five counties of Tus, Mashhad, Guchang, Shirvan, and Apiveld (Botinurd), and the county is dominated by Tus.

The specific divisions included the provinces of North Khorasan, Razavi Khorasan, and South Khorasan in later Iran. Take the Lute Desert as the farthest actual control boundary.

With a population of 360,000, the hidden population is not excluded. A quarter of the territory was made up of Khorezm, half of the population was Persians, and a few were Arabs.
