But there's so much to do in Khorasan at the moment. The formation of the Royal Bank can only be ranked after the founding ceremony.

To be honest, this is not the first time that Khorasan has held a founding ceremony. But unlike the first time, this time it was the grand ceremony of the establishment of the empire in Khorasan. Compared with the previous canonization by the Great Liao and becoming a vassal state of the Great Liao, the regulation is obviously several grades higher.

Neighboring countries such as Mongolia, Xia, Delhi, Armenia, Georgia, and the Abbasid Empire all sent representatives to congratulate them. The date is set for the first day of May, which is a new beginning.

And at the time of the ceremony, a wedding will be held. This is a happy event for Li Chengji, and it is also a great joy for the people of Khorasan. After all, Li Chengji is the lord of a country, and he can afford the weight of the four words 'universal celebration'.

It is now the sixth day of the fourth month, and it is only a month before the first day of the fifth month. There is not much time left for the Ministry of Rites to prepare.

Shi Momin'an, as the great Diwan of the Ministry of Rites, was happy to be able to preside over such a big event. It's just that the time is really rushed, and the founding ceremony and the wedding of the lord of the country are set at a time period, which is complicated and sloppy, which makes him feel a lot of pressure in his heart.

But if it is done, it is another great achievement. So he was anxious and rejoicing!

At this time, Zhang Timing's proclamation continued.

"In addition to the three counties of Phogul, Sindh and Sistan, new counties were established in succession: Khiva, Hezhong, Bakhana, Heyou (the right bank of the Syr Darya River, the cities of Sadhan, Sailan), Aral Sea (the traditional sphere of influence of the Kangli people), the Kipchak Special Military Region, Shaye County, Alima County, Shanbei County (Huihe), Shannan County (Eastern Qarakhanate State), Gansu Province, Sanma County (Kashmir), and the three Persian counties: Qierman, Maklan, Fars, and the West Persian Special Military District."

Compared to the original counties in Khorasan, the new counties are generally sparsely populated. For example, Shanbei County basically included the territory of the original Huihe Kingdom, and Shannan County was equivalent to the territory of the Eastern Kara Khanate. After emigration and war, there was a great reversal of population growth. Especially Shanbei County! Due to the complete migration, the population became the least populous of the many counties in Khorasan.

But the most special is Gansu Province.

It is the only province of all the administrative districts. And there is a royal prince in charge, who is the nominal supreme local governor. There is a considerable difference from the administrative model of military districts and counties.

The most extensive area is the Kipchak Special Military Region.

From the Ural River to the west of the Volga River, it is the territory of the Kipchak Special Military District. And until now, the administrative area has been expanding with the westward expansion of the Khorasan army.

Hearing these still somewhat unfamiliar county names, the officials present were all happy. Because of the increase in the number of new representative officials in these counties, because of the turnip and the pit. The descendants of their family have a great opportunity to display their talents.

However, compared with the earliest counties, the economy and population of these newly established counties are a notch behind. As far as the three counties of Thorn, Keqiyun, and Semnan, which were first established in the land of Persia, are concerned, the economy and population are several times that of the newly established counties of Persia.

But it also means opportunity!

Because with the end of the fighting, the livelihood of people in these places will gradually recover. For example, the two districts of Gur and Sindh, thanks to the rapid population growth and the prosperity of trade routes, are now self-sufficient in tax revenue.

This was a huge savings for the treasury of Khorasan.

Moreover, the completion of the port of Karachi directly contributed to the prosperity of Khorasan's maritime trade. For example, tea, porcelain, silk from the Song Kingdom, spices, pearls, agate and other rare treasures from the South Seas began to pour into all parts of Khorasan in large quantities.

Especially in Malu, Yeli, Puhua, Tusi and other counties where the economic development is high and the people live and work in peace and contentment, major commercial banks often sell related commercial goods. And the variety is no longer so strange to live in.

A considerable amount of porcelain and spices were sold to the Mediterranean coast, making Khorasan merchants earn a lot of money.

As long as the local rulers do not take detours and follow the established policy of Khorasan. The recovery of the local economy and people's livelihood is predictable.

Li Chengji heard that Khorasan already had so many counties and counties, and wondered whether to reform the administrative system. After all, the county is a three-level administrative system, consisting of three administrative levels: the central government, the county, and the county.

Nowadays, the territory has expanded several times, and the economy and population of each place have different economic centers and population gathering areas due to geographical conditions. How to better control the development of the region and stabilize the rule of Khorasan is a question that must be considered.

So Li Chengji thought about whether to add one more level above the third level.

This matter has been discussed between the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and I believe that after some time, he will be given a satisfactory answer.

Subsequently, Zhang Timing began to report on the tax situation in various places.

Since the newly established counties are exempt from money and grain for two to three years, the tax revenue is mainly concentrated in Puhua, Malu, Yeli, Ban Cheng and Tusi counties. The income of the three counties of Thorn, Kejiyun, and Semnan is also quite impressive, but it is still incomparable compared with the original five counties of Khorasan.

Among them, the number one tax is Puhua County!

As the starting point of Khorasan, Puhua County has the largest number of workshops in the country. The amount of commercial goods produced by it every day accounts for 40% of the total number of commercial goods in Khorasan. Some well-known commercial houses are also registered in Puhua County.

This contributed a lot to Puhua County's tax revenue.

In addition, Puhua is blessed with a unique geographical environment.

Connecting the north and the south, connecting the east and the west, the commercial goods of various places must be transported to all parts of the country through here. And it is located in the downstream of the water, and the climate is not as dry as Malu. The newly invested hydro locomotive in the textile industry uses water as the driving force to drive textile efficiency.

Puhua has the existence of good water, which meets the kinetic energy required by the hydro turbine locomotive. In addition, the water is a perennial river, and although the river water rises and falls due to the change of seasons, on the whole, there is always a water source.

This ensures that the water can provide a steady stream of power for the hydro locomotive in the season when it does not freeze.

Finally, there is the relaxed business environment of Puhua.

Because it is not the capital, the low price and labor cost are not as high as Malu. And in terms of rules, there are not as many as in the capital. Coupled with the fact that Li Chengji positioned Puhua as the economic capital of Khorasan early on, there was a certain tilt towards the policy of merchants.

Compared with the two, more businessmen like to register trading houses and open workshops here.

The second most taxed is Maru.

The capital city has the unique advantages of the capital city. Even if you are in the desert, the geographical environment is not as good as Puhua. But the magnetic effect of the capital still makes Malu shine. And the population is also the largest among many counties.

Up to 910,000!

Among them, the city of Malu has a population of 780,000.

In just two or three years, from less than 200,000 to nearly 800,000, the population has skyrocketed fourfold. It is no wonder that the city walls were expanded again and again, and houses were built again and again. The lower reaches of the Murghab River have shrunk due to the rapid population growth of the Malu River.

Fortunately, the canal from the Amu Darya River to the Mulghab River is already being built. Its northern extension direction, the section from Amu to Puhua, has been repaired by two-thirds.

At that time, the three cities of Malu, Amu and Puhua will be connected by a canal, and the political and economic centers of Khorasan will also be more closely connected. Mega cities are expected to emerge.
