Finally, there is Yeli County, which is bounded by the Turkestan Mountains and Bancheng County in the north and the south bank of the Farah River. It is bordered by the Gur Mountains to the east, and the border line between Iran and Afghanistan in the west by Tus County. Including Badgis Province, Herat Province, Farah Province.

It has a population of 440,000 and is dominated by Persians and Gurs. It consists of three counties: Zibao, Yeli and Farra. Among them is also the population of a city. That's as much as 310,000. It was also the unstable situation in the country of Ghor that caused many refugees to flee to the city of Yeli.

After its incorporation into Khorasan Province, the Governor's Office built a number of workshops for the production of gold, silver and bronze ware. Many refugees have been absorbed and resettled. Others were placed to work as farmers along the Hari River.

It was originally the land of the Governor's Palace, but after the death of Puniban Khan was unknown, all the land was recovered by the Governor's Mansion of Khorasan. Some wealthy families and mosque properties were also confiscated by the Governor's Palace.

In order to prevent the infestation of the Gur, the Governor's Palace also built four forts in the upper reaches of the Hari River. And he left behind a heavy army of 2,000 men to guard against the westward movement of the Gur at all times.

Tens of thousands of others were relocated to the counties of Maru and Tus. Due to the war, the population has plummeted, so there is an urgent need for the people to be replenished.

So far, Khorasan Province has five counties, Puhua, Ban Cheng, Malu, Tusi and Yeli, with a population of more than 2 million. Among the many surrounding forces, it can be regarded as equal capital.

Similarly, the army has been remodeled to a certain extent. The three major armies of Eagle, Red Flame, and Sky remain unchanged. It's just that the Persian battalion, changed to the Persian legion, formed a separate army. In addition to the left, center, and right battalions, two new battalions were formed. The number of people has increased from 20,000 to 30,000.

The 50,000-strong Red Flame Legion was immediately reduced to 40,000. The Eagle and the Sky Corps were also reduced from 40,000 to 30,000.

However, the expanded Persian legion included many veterans. The middle and upper-level generals were also transferred from the original three major army corps. Timur was the supreme commander of the Persian legions, and the rank of the commander of the thousand households remained unchanged.

In this way, it is a bit high. Therefore, Timur only wanted to earn his military exploits earlier, so that he could raise the level of the head of a thousand households to a higher level.

In order to maintain a certain military strength in the localities, in addition to the four major army corps, border armies were also formed. Each county had a military strength of 10,000 men, and the local emir was responsible for military training. But in order to take charge of the army, it is necessary to get the double consent of the county guard and the cadi.

Under normal circumstances, the border troops could not step out of their own defense zone without the permission of the Governor's Palace. If you encounter an enemy attack, you can launch a counterattack in your own defense area.

These regulations are all military orders, and violating one article is punishable by death. Therefore, the emirs of the counties did not dare to have strange thoughts when training the border troops. Otherwise, the sword of Damos hanging over their heads will cut off their heads at any time.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the border army is naturally inferior to the four major army corps. Therefore, Li Chengji cut another 20,000 people in the four major armies and filled them into the border armies of various counties. In the form of veterans leading new recruits, the border army can form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

And because the border armies of each county are recruited locally, they will naturally do their best to defend the territory. In terms of treatment, it is comparable to the four major legions.

This made the strong men of the counties who had long been envious of the Guardian Army, and they were overjoyed. In the end, the treatment of the apologists was ahead of its time in this era. All kinds of bereavement pensions have basically solved their worries about going to the battlefield.

If you are injured in the army and discharged from the army, you can get local retention. For example, the Department of Supervision is particularly fond of these retired soldiers. Many of the Red Turbans are veterans who have been discharged from the army. Even if they die, their families will be cared for by the Governor's Palace.

Not only will they be given a certain pension, but they will also be arranged to work in various workshops. If you like to farm or graze, you will also be exempted from taxes and share a few more acres of official land.

These measures have made the people in Khorasan have a special yearning for serving as soldiers and eating food.

At present, the re-planned city of Malu has four vertical and four horizontal tic-tac-toe blocks, making the square city more organized. In order to facilitate management, the county guard of Malu County also had the instruction of Li Chengji. Distinguish the functions of the various neighborhoods. For example, the location of the mosque is designated as a religious service area. Make it a temple, and it will monopolize the entire block.

The nearby official residence of the Governor's Palace is surrounded by some official offices. Therefore, this street is classified as an official administrative district. Although it is not forbidden for the people to come and go, the fear of officials still makes the people dare not wander on this street at will.

Only the location of the Criminal Department is an exception. Many people who have grievances will go to the criminal department to beat the drum and voice their grievances.

There are also residential complexes, which alone occupy eight blocks. Near the mosque was the residence of wealthy merchants. The mansions there were built to be spacious and generous, showing a state of wealth. It's just that due to the restrictions on land use in the Governor's Palace, the area of each mansion has an upper limit that cannot be broken.

This makes the area of the wealthy area only two blocks.

Similarly, the residences of dignitaries and dignitaries are only two blocks away. They are located near the Governor's Palace, and they are not at all comparable to the rich districts. This is required by the Doge's Palace! It is said that it is to show the image of the Governor's Palace, large and small, and the officials are honest and honest, so the specifications and designs of the house have relatively rigid requirements.

For this purpose, each house was built by masons organized by the Doge's Palace. In appearance, they are all exactly the same. It is three storeys high, and the exterior walls are painted white. There is a small garden inside, which satisfies the local habit of cultivating gardens.

However, this is only the house of officials above the chief of government and below the level of assistant. At the secretary level, the garden should be larger, and the house should be half a section high.

In Diwan's case, the house is four-storey. Not only a garden, but also a small pond. Da Diwan is a small palace-style building with two rows of buildings in front and back. In terms of style, you can instantly compare with those extravagant rich businessmen.

According to the hierarchy, the house of the Great Divan is the closest of all the houses to the Doge's Palace. Then came Diwan, then the secretary, the assistant secretary, and the chief of the government. Anything further down is not eligible to live here.

At present, neither the rich nor the high-ranking areas are full. And each has also set aside a block as an alternative place for the future. It's just that unlike the houses in the rich district, which are self-built and self-built, the houses in the high-ranking official district are all built at the expense of the governor's palace.

That is, when they are in office, high-ranking officials are eligible to live. Once you leave your job, you have to move out.

As a result, many officials bought land and built new homes in the high-end business district near the wealthy area, which is the local popular Grand Bazaar. Style, layout, they can all follow their own heart. I'm not afraid to go to work in the future, and I don't even have a place to live.

It is precisely because of their land occupation that the Grand Bazaar continues to extend to civilian residential areas. And it is connected to the Emile Avenue into the city.

So the streets of more than 20 miles long are full of rows of shops. One after another, many people who had just entered the city were dazzled.

For the outer city, the Governor's Palace also made reasonable planning. And in the form of bidding, a number of ordinary houses were newly built. This is for the average people who have lower incomes! Poor people who had no place to live were able to borrow money from the governor's palace to move into new houses.

There were also those who were unwilling, but the shantytowns where they gathered were burned down by the Red Turban Army. That style is quite a rudimentary form of a demolition team in later generations.

An earthen wall, not very tall, rises from the ground in the outer city. Not counting the inner city, the distance in a straight line is forty kilometers. Although there are still large areas of wasteland in it, it is predictable. As Malu grows, there must be an influx of more and more people into these areas.

Especially after a large number of workshops were built in the outer city near the banks of the Mulghab River, the crowd would pour in earlier than expected.

At this time, in the governor's palace, Li Chengji was looking at the folds sent by various counties. It's also that there are not many county towns at the moment, and the territory is not big, and he still has the energy to look through all the folds. When the territory is bigger in the future, there will be no weakness.
