In Ganzhou, as soon as the sun rose in the east, the people gathered outside the Dehua Gate. These are all the Huihe people who have recently been repatriated from the territory of Xia and the aborigines of the four prefectures of Shagua, Sugan. Under the terms of the peace treaty, they were assigned to Khorasan along with the land where they had lived for generations.

Therefore, it should be left to Khorasan to dispose of.

This made many of the Sizhou scholars who originally had a sense of closeness to the Xia Kingdom completely chilled. After hearing the news, some of the people of Xia who had fled to the mountains also lost the mind to fight Khorasan to the end.

At this time, Khorasan also changed its previous strategy of moving people out of their homes, allowing the people to stay in their places of origin. And according to the custom of Khorasan, slavery was abolished and the people under his rule were registered. The national policy of dividing the land was also implemented at the same time, so that the people of the four prefectures, who had suffered from the war, could settle down as soon as possible.

Therefore, in recent times, the number of people in the four prefectures of Shagua, Sugan has been increasing. The previous situation of malice against the Khorasan soldiers has also been greatly reduced.

On the whole, however, there was a lack of recognition of Khorasan rule. But as long as time goes by, they can always feel at ease to be a Khorasan. After all, there are practical interests tied to Khorasan and sooner or later assimilated.

At this moment, they gathered outside the city gate in order to see off Li Chengji!

It was also Li Chengji who had left Malu for too long, so after drawing up peace treaties with Xia and Mongolia, he immediately decided to return to the dynasty.

However, considering that the four states of Shagua still needed people to stay, he only took the people from the Staff Department and the Guards Department back first. The rest of the armies were left behind in the four states of Shagua. It was not until the Xia State sent craftsmen and withdrew the army as agreed, that Khorasan would withdraw the troops in turn.

I believe that with a large army pressing the border, the efficiency of Xia Guo will be very fast.

Before leaving, the military and political affairs of the four prefectures in Gansu should also be properly arranged. Lee Seung-ji knew the importance of this trade route, so it was necessary to have someone of high status sitting here. But it should not be too prestigious, so as not to arouse the alarm of Xia and Mongolia.

After thinking about it, Li Chengji decided to let his brother Li Chengye take on this big responsibility. He formed Gansu Province, and in addition to the four prefectures of Gansu and Heishui City, there was also Hamili which was changed to Yizhou. In addition, the Tubo tribes south of the Qilian Mountains were also controlled by the Gansu Province.

It's just that the local altitude is very high and the natural environment is harsh. Moreover, the Tibetan tribes had close ties with the Jin State in Xining Prefecture, and they surrendered at both ends. Therefore, the moderation of Gansu Province is mainly reflected in commerce and trade. In terms of political affairs, Gansu Province is still beyond the reach of the whip.

Because the provincial system appeared for the first time in Khorasan, Li Chengji also put a lot of thought into the provincial structure. First of all, it inherited the principle of separation of powers in the Khorasan county system, and set up administrative officials, judges, and military governors in the provinces, and the opposing titles of the three were governors, khadi, and emirs. Although the name is the same, the rank is the same as that of the six ministers.

Just like the difference between local and provincial and national levels in later generations, the three are very different in level. At the same time, a high-ranking official was set up above the province, and Li Chengye served as the position. In Lee's vision, the position of a senior official is temporary. In addition, it only has the right to make suggestions on military administration and justice, but not the right to make decisions.

Except in wartime or in the event of a major accident, senior officials can directly decide on the important military, political, and judicial affairs of the province. According to the custom of Khorasan, Shagua and other prefectures are Guazhou County, Suzhou County, Ganzhou County and Yizhou County. Shazhou was downgraded to a county and belonged to Guazhou County. Heishui City was also changed to Heishui County, which belonged to Suzhou.

Although Gansu Province is still dominated by four counties, it is no longer the original four counties.

Gao Lianghui was also in the send-off procession, and he was still staying in Ganzhou City as an envoy of the Xia Kingdom. Originally, he had the opportunity to leave with Li Chengji, but he took the initiative to ask to stay. Not for anything else, just to make more contributions to the Gao family who changed their court.

It was also he who knew that Khorasan would not stop there. Similarly, it was impossible for the Xia Kingdom to give up its rule over the four states of Shagua. It's just that now that the state is in decline, it has to be like this. After a period of recuperation and recuperation, the soldiers will be strong and strong, and they will definitely have the idea of reclaiming their homeland.

Therefore, he stayed in the Xia Kingdom to be of great use in the future.

Gao Yi was both pleased and worried about his son's choice. It is gratifying that Gao Lianghui has such a vision, which can become an atmosphere. The worry is that one day Gao Lianghui's identity will be exposed, and he may be killed. Li Chengji also inadvertently learned of Gao Lianghui's choice, and specially met with him personally.

In the end, the peace talks between Khorasan and Xia went so smoothly this time, and Gao Lianghui contributed a lot. Because he told Khora Sanming the bottom line of Xia State in advance, Xia Guo was completely in a situation of being slaughtered by others at the negotiation table.

Li Chengji personally received him, and he can also afford this qualification.

It's a pity that Li Chengji was too busy and didn't say much when they met. only hurriedly saw some courtesy, and under Li Chengji's inquiry, he said his suggestions for Khorasan to govern the Xia Kingdom. Even Li Chengji didn't have time to listen to it, and the meeting was over.

Later, Li Chengji asked him to write the proposal on a fold and submit it to the General Staff Department. If he has time, he will watch it with the important ministers of the General Staff.

To be honest, he didn't think that Li Chengji would really look at the fold. But then Khorasan issued a decree in the province of Gansu, which allowed him to see his recommendations adopted. For example, the relocation order for the people of the four states was immediately stopped, and the local scholars of the prefectures and counties were selected as officials.

Tax exemption for another three years, and distribute grain and grass to help the hungry people. They also rented farm tools to the people, so that they could reclaim wasteland and resume agricultural production as soon as possible.

And Khorasan did even better than he expected!

Not only did the local scholars be selected as officials, but also a small imperial examination was held before the selection. The content refers to the content of the previous Xia State imperial examination, and is only aimed at the scholars of the four states of Shagua. The highest official position is the governor of a county, and his status is not low.

This also aroused the interest of some scholars, and they asked their scholars to sign up for the exam. However, in general, the number of people is small, and most of the scholars still hold a wait-and-see attitude.

Li Chengji is not in a hurry!

Anyway, when Gansu Province was first established, there was a limit on the number of vacated official positions. If you send someone, you can choose it directly from the Imperial Academy. There is a hematopoietic machine for Khorasan officials, constantly inputting officials who have a certain understanding of government affairs into Khorasan officialdom.

With the expansion of Khorasan, many students who have accelerated the completion of their training programs have entered the new territory of Khorasan to handle government affairs. They have made indelible contributions to stabilizing the region and restoring people's livelihood.

Therefore, the imperial examination in the four states of Xia is more of a show of favor to the local scholars. so that they may understand that the door of Khorasan officialdom is also open to them.

Crowded in the sea of people at the moment, Gao Lianghui only sees the back of other people's heads. Until the drums sounded, and the people saluted. Gao Lianghui was able to see that at the city gate, a large group of soldiers in iron armor was slowly coming.
