After the deliberations in the council hall, Wei's new policy was soon implemented.

In the territory of the Western Wei Kingdom, it was immediately in full swing. In Sichuan and Shu, Liang Yizhang used to be a prefect, has experience in managing a place, after being placed in Sichuan, for the government affairs of Sichuan, it is also handy, in addition to the assistance of the national wind, Sichuan is richer than Guanzhong, so the policy came out, and it quickly became effective.

The feudal government first allocated 700,000 silver dollars to support the reconstruction of Sichuan, which was used by the government to purchase agricultural tools and livestock, and lent money to the people to rebuild their homes.

Many Sichuan and Shu people who hid in the mountains and forests to escape the war heard the news, packed up their bags, left the cottage, returned to their hometowns, and began to rebuild on the damaged hometown.

For a time, on the Chengdu Plain, the fields were full of ploughing oxen and newly built shacks.

After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he destroyed the king of Shu, killed the rich households, and completely destroyed the original social structure of Sichuan.

As a result, the feudal government had a large number of ownerless land, which provided a prerequisite for recruiting the common people.

By allocating land and providing seeds and agricultural tools, the feudal government attracted some of the people who longed for tranquility, which not only restored production, but also alleviated the troubles of banditry.

The people who returned to their hometowns after getting the land, seeds and livestock distributed by the government, were grateful to the Western Wei regime, and the people praised the benevolence of the tall king, and left the Ming Dynasty, which had ruled Sichuan for many years, and what Zhang Xianzhong was.

Compared with Sichuan, the restoration of Guanzhong faces much larger problems, and one of the main ones is the lack of population.

The long-term war has caused heavy losses to the population of Guanzhong, and the land is relatively barren, making it several times more difficult to recover than in Sichuan.

In fact, the population affected not only the recovery of Guanzhong, but also the morale of the Wei army.

Because the feudal government lacked money, they used land property instead of silver money to reward, and the soldiers were divided into fields from the levy, and the fields were divided for meritorious service, and the bereavement benefits after the war were also divided into fields.

However, because of the vast land and sparse population, many soldiers were assigned to military fields, especially after the generals owned large tracts of land, but there was a lack of tenants to cultivate them, resulting in a serious depreciation of land prices, which has affected morale.

For this reason, the Western Wei Dynasty could only reduce the distribution of ownerless land to the people and tighten the supply of land to stabilize the land price, but the shortage of labor was a problem that could not be solved for the time being.

Considering that the situation in Daoguanzhong was different from that in Sichuan, in addition to the intensive cultivation of wheat in the Wei River system, the feudal government promoted the cultivation of drought-tolerant crops such as cotton, corn, and sweet potatoes in other lands lacking water sources, and adopted large-scale cultivation in the style of tunzhuang to alleviate the shortcomings of insufficient population.

In this way, the land of Guanzhong can rely on cash crops to exchange cattle, sheep, and furs from the grassland, and then resell them to Huguang, Sichuan, and even Jiangnan in exchange for silver money, and then buy grain from the south to supplement the shortage of rice and grain.

While Guanzhong and Sichuan were beginning to recover, the tea and horse trade between the Western Wei State and the Mongol tribes and Tibetans in Longyou was also in full swing.

After Lin Dan Khan was wiped out by the Qing army, there was a power vacuum in the Qinghai region, and a part of the Heshute Mongols, under pressure from the Junggar tribe in the north, took advantage of the situation and occupied the Qinghai region a few years earlier.

Its tribal leaders established the Heshute Mongol Khanate, called Gushi Khan, and controlled the entire Qinghai region, and then at the invitation of the Tibetan Yellow Sect regent Sonam Qunpei, the fifth Dalai Lama, and the fourth Panchen Lama, he entered Tibet to rescue the Yellow Sect, and entered Lhasa in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and took control of Tibet.

At this time, the Heshute Mongol Khanate controlled the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and in the eighth year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1635, it had already submitted to the Manchu Qing.

Of course, this kind of submission is only nominal submission, in order to find a backer to resist the increasingly powerful Jungar.

Now that the Heshute Mongol Khanate is entrenched on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the threat of the Dzungar Mongols is no longer there, and there is less contact with the Qing.

However, the Heshute Khanate, after all, nominally submitted to the Manchus, was always a threat to the Western Wei.

After the Western Wei State incorporated the Guanning Army, the number of war horses increased to more than 60,000, and a large area of land was needed for the war horses to gallop, and a large amount of forage and beans were consumed.

After occupying Guanzhong, the Western Wei State began to look for its own land for horse grazing, and finally took a fancy to the Longyou region as a matter of course.

Although the Heshute Khanate controlled the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there were more than 20,000 warriors in the tribe, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was vast and sparsely populated, so it became the target of encroachment by the Western Wei Dynasty.

Since last year, the Western Wei State has sent caravans into the Qinghai region, while trading, while contacting some small tribes and Tibetans, has advanced its power to the east of Qinghai Lake, and set up a border market here to sell grain, tea, cloth, and a small amount of iron.

In the Central Plains, an iron pot costs only one or two pieces of silver, and it is no problem to sell it on the grassland and exchange it for a few sheep.

Helplessly, the nomadic smelting technology is backward, there is nothing but cattle and sheep, and the rice must be eaten, and the tea must be boiled, so there is only the iron tools of the Han people at a high price.

However, although iron was profitable, the Western Wei State controlled very tightly and exported only a very small part, so as not to melt the iron tools and make weapons, and the main goods were tea, cloth and porcelain.

Since the opening of the Western Wei Dynasty, there have been Mongols who have come to trade, and the merchants in Guanzhong often make several times to more than ten times the profits, Gao Yihuan ordered the border to strengthen control, inspect the goods, and collect commercial taxes.

He also ordered the soldiers to strictly investigate the smuggling, and once it was found, all the money and goods were confiscated, and the tax revenue of the Western Wei Dynasty also increased rapidly, and a large number of livestock entered Guanzhong, which also changed the diet of the people in Guanzhong.

Four years after the establishment of the chapter, after the spring ploughing, Gao Yihuan set out from Xi'an and toured west to Qinghai.

After passing through Qinzhou, they began to find that many Tibetans and Mongols began to appear in the areas where the Han people lived, and many lands were gradually abandoned.

After Xining Province, there began to be a field of tents, cattle and sheep everywhere, Tibetan men grazing on horses, and women wearing long sleeves, dark skin, and two simple red faces.

"Great King, the tribesmen gathered here are mainly Tibetans who believe in the Red Religion, as well as some Mongolian tribes brought by Lin Dan Khan back then, there are about 20,000 people." Li Dingguo was wearing armor, pulling the reins of the horse, and said to Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan only knew some fur about the complicated situation in Qinghai, he stood on a hill, looking down at the surroundings, the scenery was a little breathless, and the sun was so hot that people's scalps hurt.

"Let's go, go down and have a look, and you can tell me about the situation here in detail on the way!" Gao Yihuan suddenly raised his horsewhip and said loudly.
