From the perspective of the whole campaign, as the commander-in-chief, Feng Changqing's inexperience in commanding the battle, the Tang army was like a bamboo, all because of Duan Xiushi, Zhao Chongyu, Jia Chongjun and other experienced generals, the Great Bolu Kingdom and the Tubo army had not had time to fight with the main force of the Tang army, and were defeated by the vanguard of the Tang army. avoided the doom of the Tang army being ambushed, and from this point it can be seen that Feng Changqing's inexperience in the battle was insufficient.

Zhao Ziliang collected information from many aspects, and conducted a detailed study of this campaign, Feng Changqing's strength is not in the command of the battle, but in the administrative affairs such as the degree of support and the camp, when Gao Xianzhi was the envoy of the Anxi Festival in the past, Gao Xianzhi every time he went out, Feng Changqing stayed in the rear as a post-envoy to deal with military and political affairs, and provided timely logistical support for Gao Xianzhi's army.

Since Fumeng Lingjing left Anxi, the Anxi Protectorate has Gao Xianzhi in the construction of the army, and Feng Changqing in the administration of civil governance, these two can be described as the best partners, and the Anxi Protectorate has been managed in an orderly manner, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly improved, the administrative aspect is in order, and the logistics are sufficient, which is also the reason why Gao Xianzhi was able to recover its strength within one or two years after the defeat of Hengluos.

Zhao Ziliang saw this, so on the premise that there was no external threat, he began to vigorously develop people's livelihood and economy within the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate; vigorously migrated from the Central Plains and Jiangnan to Beiting to open up wasteland and expand the scale of pastures; vigorously build roads, encourage industry and commerce, and open up trade routes; Encourage afforestation and desert control.

In June of the twelfth year of Tianbao, after tens of thousands of people fought continuously, the new Henglus City was finally completed, and the streets, residences, commercial areas and factories in the new city were all built.

In order to strengthen the management of the Western Turkic ministries, the Moon Department, and the Secret Department, Zhao Ziliang wrote to the imperial court to propose that the establishment of the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate be restored, and the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate should manage the five Western Turkic Nubibi Divisions, and the Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate should manage the five divisions of the Ground Land and the Hechuyue Division, and put the Secret Department under the jurisdiction of Tingzhou, and promote the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate will govern the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate, the Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate and the Taixi Metropolitan Protectorate, and at the same time, the Beiting Xingying Jiedu Mansion will recover the military power of the Taixi Metropolitan Protectorate. The three prefectures were only responsible for managing local civil affairs and coordinating the relations and conflicts between the various ministries within the territory.

The imperial court quickly replied to approve Zhao Ziliang's proposal, and after receiving the reply summons, Zhao Ziliang sent people to set up the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate on the one hand, and on the other hand, planned to widen and build the road from Tingzhou to Yuegong City, from Yuegong City to Broken Leaf City, from Broken Leaf City to Henglus City, from Henglus City to Sama Jiancheng, and from Henglus City to the west to the post station on the north shore of the Caspian Sea.

When convening the officials of the North Court to discuss the road repair, Zhao Ziliang pointed to several thick red lines drawn on the map and said: "In order to facilitate the passage of business travelers, from now on, we will build three roads in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate: the first from the North Courtyard to Henglus City, the second from Henglus City to the North Shore Post Station of the Caspian Sea, and the third from Henglus City to Samujian City, all of which must be built with cement gray roads, and the roadbed of the original road will be paved with cement lime and gravel concrete. As long as the construction of these three roads is completed, the impact of weather conditions on merchants, pedestrians, messengers and armies will be greatly reduced. In addition to the relevant officials, architects and related officials, we do not need to spend a penny to build these three roads, all the labor is captured with big food, the sand and gravel used to build the road can be made of local materials, and the cement ash used is also fired in the kiln every other section, and the tools used are made by ourselves! Now, we are short of a construction technician who knows how to build these three roads! In addition to the road construction, there are many bridges to be built on these three roads, and there are several big rivers, the width of the bridge is not short, to build this kind of large bridge, the general technician is simply not competent, so we want to send someone to Chang'an to invite a technician to come, I don't know if you have anyone who can recommend? ”

At this time, Cen Shen stood up and arched his hand and said: "Qi Yu Jie Shuai, if you want to find such a person, we don't have to send someone to Chang'an, Xia Guan has a friend named Hong Lin, this person is quite good at building, two years ago he went to Fura (Byzantine Empire) with a caravan to learn a lot of Fera construction skills, not long ago returned, these days just settled in an inn in the city, if the Jie Shuai allowed, Xia Guan recommended this person to the Jie Shuai to preside over the road and bridge supervision! ”

Zhao Ziliang hadn't heard of Hong Lin, and he didn't know if this person was competent, since Cen Shen recommended this person, presumably this person should have some ability! So he said to Cen Shen: "In this case, Lord Cen will personally go and invite this construction master over, and Ben Shuai will meet him!" ”

"No!" Cen Shen agreed, and immediately turned to leave.

After Cen Shen left, Zhao Ziliang continued to say to the officials present: "In addition to these three main roads, we must build roads through the towns, and the construction of roads between the towns and cities on these three main roads must rely on the towns and cities to organize military and civilian construction, and the costs shall be borne by the towns themselves, and the geographical demarcation line between the towns shall be the boundary. The plan of the Dadu Protectorate and the Jiedu Embassy is to complete the construction of communication roads between all towns within three years, which will be used as a performance evaluation of town officials, and if they are done well, the chances of promotion will be greatly increased, and those who are not completed well, or take the opportunity to collect money, loot the people, and cause trouble in the process of building roads, local officials will be held accountable! The Jiedu Embassy will send officials to carry out strict supervision."

An official at the scene stood up and arched his hand: "Jieshuai, there are rich and poor towns under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the towns with a large population are naturally rich, and the towns with a small population are very poor, and there must be many towns that can't afford to build roads. ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "For particularly poor towns can apply to the Jiedu Embassy for road repair funds, the Jiedu Embassy will allocate a part of it after being approved, and the remaining insufficient part will be solved by the town itself, which is also a test of a local official's administrative ability, capable officials will naturally think of ways to get money to make up for the shortfall, and incompetent magistrates may think of collecting the people, or reselling public property to obtain insufficient funds, or the timid, neither dare to loot the people, resell public property to obtain funds, There is no way to make money, so you can only drag it! Ben Shuai is also planning to take this opportunity to clean up the moths and incompetent people among the officials of the North Court, and let them move the positions of talented people! ”

The officials stood up and arched their hands and shouted: "The festival is handsome and wise!" ”

Zhao Ziliang continued: "Now that all parts of my Beiting, including the territory under the jurisdiction of the Taixi Metropolitan Protectorate, have been peaceful and stable, and the social order is improving, this Shuai believes that there is no need to set up so many checkpoints in various places, according to the actual situation in various places, remove some irrelevant checkpoints, open up trade routes, and allow merchants from all over the world to pass and do business freely in my Beiting, as long as they do not violate the laws of our Tang Dynasty and the decrees issued by the Beiting Dadu Protectorate and the Xingying Jiedu Embassy, not only can we not embarrass these business travelers, It is also necessary to protect the safety of their lives and property, only in this way will our Beiting territory have developed business and trade and have a good economy! The circulation of trade goods and money is like the circulation of blood in the human body is a truth, the blood in the human body is smooth, the person will be healthy, if the blood of the person is not smooth, the person will be sick, the faster the flow of trade goods and money, the more vitality we have, the slower the speed, I will become weak, the construction of the three main roads is the carrier of the flow of trade goods and money, the better it is repaired, the more spacious and flat, the greater the number of trade goods and money circulation, So building roads is one of my top priorities at the moment! ”

"The second top priority of our Beiting is that we are introducing more and more displaced people from the Central Plains and Jiangnan, according to the latest statistics, the number of Han people in our Beiting has reached 800,000, and at present, another 50,000 or 60,000 people are coming from the direction of Tingzhou, we have to prepare camp tents for these Liu Ming, so that they can have a place to live after they arrive, and we must prepare some grain for them to get through the initial difficult period, and when they arrive, we must give them farm tools and two, and organize them to open up wasteland and cultivate land, but they cannot destroy the existing pastures!"

"Third, we need to intensify efforts to encourage industry and commerce and strengthen the management of commerce and trade. We divide the merchants into three categories, the first is the local merchants, the second is the merchants who came from the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and the third is the merchants from other countries. The Jiedu Embassy will set up a special municipal office to manage commerce and trade, and a number of subordinate yamen will be set up under the municipal office, which will be responsible for collecting customs duties and trade taxes, formulating customs duties and encouraging industrial and commercial measures, and punishing illegal merchants. Luxury goods from other countries, these luxury goods can only be used for enjoyment, and have no effect on our people's livelihood and military aspects, so we must formulate high tariffs, and our locally produced luxury goods can reduce tariffs to leave the country, and lower tariffs can be formulated for tea, porcelain, silk, brocade and other specialties of our Tang Dynasty from the Central Plains and Jiangnan! All in all, for goods that are beneficial to our people's livelihood and the military, we must reduce tariffs on entry and increase tariffs on exit! (To be continued.) )
