Zhao Ziliang inspected some of the farmland around Baishui City, all of which were intensively cultivated, which made him quite satisfied, since he implemented intensive cultivation in Beiting that year, Liu Wei and others have promoted intensive cultivation to the entire Western Qin in recent years, and it has taken a lot of effort to farm affairs, and the advantage of implementing intensive cultivation is that the grain output has been greatly increased, and more people have been able to feed more people.

When Zhao Ziliang made his rounds, the farmers in the fields were harvesting their crops, and he asked some farmers about the grain output, and learned that this season's grain output was not bad, not much different from previous years.

When returning from the field inspection, Zhao Ziliang asked Wu Daguang, the county commander: "This king sees that the field seems to be a little dry, I wonder if you have thought of a way to do this?" ”

Wu Daguang said: "Wang, this year's rain is no different from previous years, there is a drought here every year for a period of time, we have been trying to dig a canal to divert water, but the project is too huge, it costs too much, it is almost impossible to open a canal to divert water in our county, Xia Guan has written to the Taishou Mansion to complain, asking the Taishou Mansion to come forward to do this, and several surrounding counties will contribute money together to make up a part, and the Taishou Mansion will dig a main canal first, and bring water from the Talas River, and then the counties will dig a canal to divert water, But the Taishou Mansion has not responded! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and did not make a sound.

After inspecting the pasture, Zhao Ziliang was more satisfied, although the desert here is more serious, but still maintains a considerable area of pasture, Zhao Ziliang also issued an order to protect the pasture, control the number of livestock in the grassland per unit area, to prevent overgrazing and cause land desertification, these years in the implementation of this decree is more effective, so the grassland in Xiqin is better protected, especially near the river area, as long as the proper control, the grassland will soon be restored to luxuriant.

Zhao Ziliang was not very satisfied after inspecting the workshops in the city, he said to Wu Daguang: "The number and scale of the workshops are too small and too small to bring large income to Baishui County, the county government should provide certain support to these merchants who build workshops to make goods, such as reducing their taxes for one year, let them expand the scale, and the government will support them, and introduce foreign merchants to buy their goods. ”

Wu Daguang agreed: "Yes, King! Later, the prefectural government will formulate a relevant decree on this matter."

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Ziliang's inspection in Baishui City had ended, and when he returned to the county office, he learned that Yang Yuhuan had gone out of the city with two maids, and he rushed to the river outside the city with his own guards to find Yang Yuhuan and others, and several soldiers stood in the distance to protect, and the three of them played by the river.

Zhao Ziliang jumped off his horse and walked over and asked, "Yuhuan, why did you come here?" ”

Yang Yuhuan looked back and saw that it was Zhao Ziliang, so he smiled and said: "I asked them what was interesting here, and they told me that this is the site where General Chu led his troops to raid the Great Food Army, so we came over to have a look."

Zhao Ziliang asked as he walked, "Have you finished reading it?" How does it feel? ”

"Not bad!"

Zhao Ziliang said: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the lion, this used to be the stone country, there are lions in the mountains and forests of the stone country, the king of the stone country also presented the lion to the emperor, but because the palace people are not well raised, the lion died in a few months." After we established the government here, we ordered all the mountains, forests, rivers and mines to be returned to the public, blocked the mountains and forests where the lions lived, prohibited hunting, and sent special people to feed and take care of the lions, and also got a few captive, I will take you to see! ”

Yang Yuhuan's playfulness is also big, and when he heard that there was something fun, he immediately agreed: "Okay, where is it?" ”

"It takes half an hour to ride a horse, so let's get over now, and we can rush back to Whitewater City before dark!"

"Let's go!"

Yang Yuhuan has never seen a lion, and he was surprised when he saw a lion for the first time, how could a lion grow like that? She was terrified when she saw a male lion hunting a wild antelope.

The next day, when everyone was back on the road, Yang Yuhuan asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Go to the governance office of Dawan County and expand the city!" ”

There are five prefectures in the whole Western Qin, which is the largest administrative region, and the second-level administrative body is the county, and then the county is the county.

The entire land of Western Qin has only seven or eight million people today, and such a large number of people are not as large as the population of a big city in later generations, but in this era, they occupy a vast land of thousands of miles in Central Asia.

Two days later, Zhao Ziliang and his entourage arrived at Tuozhi City.

The group walked to the gate of the city, and there was a large group of people and merchants at the gate of the city to prepare to enter the city, and some officials guarded the gate of the city, blocking the merchants and people who entered the city, and they had to pay the city tax if they wanted to enter the city.

Yang Yuhuan disguised herself as a man and sat on horseback and looked at the city gate queuing, and couldn't help but say: "We started from Henglus all the way to here, and passed through several cities along the way, but there was no need to queue up to enter the city, and I had not seen the city gate tax. It turns out that not all cities do not collect entrance taxes! ”

Zhao Ziliang's face was a little ugly, and Cen Shen on the side said: "Back then, the king had already stipulated that the city entry tax should be abolished, and other places have been implementing it, but I didn't expect that this place would disobey the king's decree and collect the city gate tax without authorization. Such a bold man! Hey, how did those caravans get around the city?"

"They are preparing to bypass Tuozhi City and go to Cao County, they don't want to be slaughtered here!" Zhao Ziliang said indifferently, raised his horse and whipped the horse, and said, "Let's go, go into the city and have a look!" ”

The appearance of Zhao Ziliang and others quickly attracted the attention of the officials at the city gate, and the people at the city gate saw a large group of soldiers and horses approaching, and they all ran to the side, but the officials were not afraid at all, and they were not worried about these soldiers and horses seizing the city.

It turned out that since Zhao Ziliang was in charge of the land of Western Qin, he ordered the garrisons to no longer defend the city, and the city was no longer fortified, because after the bandits and robbers in the territory were eliminated, no one could threaten the safety of the cities in the Western Qin, and the role of the garrison was only to deter and meet foreign enemies, and the security in the city was responsible for the official government and the arrester.

"Hey, stop! Where are you in the army? What do you do when you go into the city? A squad leader shouted at the gate with a sword.

Zhao Ziliang stopped and asked, "Who asked you to collect the city tax here?" ”

The head of the team looked like a ruffian and said, "You can't control this, you have to collect taxes if you want to enter the city!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Chu Ge and asked, "You are the deputy marshal in charge of the general's lawsuit, who is the garrison general of this Tuozhi City?" ”

Chu Ge said: "Liu Chengye, the second general of the Seventh Army! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Send someone to call him over!" ”

"No!" Chu Ge agreed, and immediately sent someone to the garrison to summon Liu Chengye.

Zhao Ziliang stared at the leader of the team and said, "Let me ask you, who asked you to collect the city tax?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Ziliang was mighty and extraordinary, the head of the squad was a little timid in his heart, and between hesitations, the two pro-soldier guards jumped down from the horse and rushed up to be an old fist, which made the head of the government service cry and call his mother, and the surrounding officials saw that their boss was beaten, and they immediately rushed up to help, but the pro-soldiers and guards behind Zhao Ziliang immediately stepped forward and pulled out their weapons to control them.

After all, the government officials are just government officials, and it's okay to bully the common people, but if they really want to do it with real swords and guns, they don't have the courage and courage to dare to fight with the army.

"Don't fight, don't fight・・・・・・ I said, I said・・・・・・" The head of the official squad was beaten badly, and he couldn't help it, so he had to shout loudly.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, the two pro-soldiers who beat people stopped, and the head of the official squad had been beaten so that his face was swollen into a bun, his nose bleeded non-stop, and his eyes were slanted and his nose was crooked.

"Anyway, my patience is limited!"

The head of the official squad curled up his hands and feet and lay on his side on the ground, and said, "It was Lord Taishou who asked us to collect the city gate tax!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Where did the money go?" ”

"Of course, it's handed over to Taishou-sama!"

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and shouted: "Tie up all these people for me!" ”

"Yes!" The pro-soldiers and guards swarmed up.

After tying up all the officials at the gate of the city, more than a dozen knights ran over from the side, led by a general, who stopped his horse, jumped off the horse and bowed to Zhao Ziliang on one knee and said: "The last general Liu Chengye greets the king!" ”

"Get up, this king wants to go to your barracks to have a look, I wonder if you welcome it?"

Liu Chengye hurriedly said: "The king, please, the end will lead the horse for the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "There's no need to lead the horse, let's go with this king!" ”

"No!"

"Take all these servants to the barracks and imprison them!" After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the garrison barracks, and the others followed.

After entering the barracks, Zhao Ziliang stopped and saw that the soldiers on the school field were practicing, Liu Chengye introduced: "King, this is a new conscription who is training, there are more than 3,200 people in this period, and they have been practicing for a month and a half!" ”

Zhao Ziliang walked to the edge of the school field and looked at it for a while, and asked, "According to this kind of drill progress, how long will it take to complete the recruit drill?" ”

"It will take about half a year!"

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "How did the people react to the compulsory military system?" ”

Liu Chengye said: "There are many people who oppose and refuse to let their son join the army, and there are still a considerable number of people who have not signed in to the specified time limit, and the last general can only send people to the government and let them forcibly arrest people, but fortunately, although many people are opposed, they dare not really confront the government, and those who should join the army are still in the army!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "It seems that it is still very difficult to get the people to voluntarily join the army!" ”
