Wu Shaogang had already returned to Chengdu, Li Siqi went to Chang'an Fucheng, and was fully responsible for all matters related to Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road, and the number of troops stationed in this area reached 50,000, commanded by Zhang Binghui, and anyone could see that Wu Shaogang had no idea of sticking to this area and stopping the attack, otherwise the army would have withdrawn a long time ago.

After the autumn harvest, one thing after another came.

The main thing was the lack of money, which made the yamen exhausted.

It should be said that Wu Shaogang sent troops with great interest, began to take steps to realize his dreams, and occupied Jingzhaofu Road and other places as quickly as possible, but in the end, he realized that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

Jingzhaofu Road and other places are too poor, and it can also be said that those who have been oppressed by the Mongolian court have no nutrition.

The Mongolian court not only levied money and grain in the area of Jingzhaofu Road, but also recruited young people on a large scale in this area and forced them to enter the army to serve, resulting in the loss of any development ability in Jingzhaofu Road and other places, and most of the places left behind were old and weak women and children, and even the people who farmed the land were not enough.

The Mongol court also carried out brutal repression in Jingzhaofu Road and other places, because this area has always been rumored to be rude, so the method adopted by the Mongol court is a barbaric high-pressure policy.

After killing a lot of people, the area finally calmed down.

Behind the tranquility is the unscrupulous exploitation of the government and the abject poverty of the people.

Although it is said that Wu Shaogang had visited Chang'an Fucheng and other places on the spot, he did not know as much about the situation as in case.

The officials sent to these places should be said to be elites, all the officials have been trained in Yunchuan Academy, and they have all done things in Jiedu to make them or the Yamen of Fuzhou County, and their abilities are very good, but these officials, after arriving in the place, tried their best to do things, but they did not receive good results.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, this is what Wu Shaogang said, and it is also the truth.

Now Wu Shaogang finally understood why the army was able to take Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road in such a short period of time, it turned out that the Mongolian court did not care about these places at all, and even completely abandoned these so-called marginal places, and only used this place as a transit point for attacking Sichuan.

Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others, in the face of such a reality, all put forward the same suggestion, that is, to temporarily give up the governance of these places, and continue to conquer Henan Road and other places, if they feel that it is difficult to continue the expedition and the time is not suitable, then retreat and continue to govern Sichuan and Yunnan and other places, and do not devote most of their energy to Jingzhaofu Road and other places.

Li Tingzhi and Hao Jing and others have completely unified opinions, which is a rare situation, Wu Shaogang also had to fall into thinking, but at this time, Li Siqi, who is responsible for the management of Jingzhaofu Road and other places, also wrote a letter, suggesting not to give too much investment to Jingzhaofu Road and other places, this area has suffered too much ravage, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.

The implicit meaning of this, Wu Shaogang knows very well, that is, don't drag down Sichuan, Yunnan and other places and drag down the army because of the rescue of Jingzhaofu Road and other places, after all, Wu Shaogang's strength is not so strong.

For a period of time, Wu Shaogang fell into hard thinking, thinking about whether to give up the governance of Jingzhaofu Road and maintain the status quo, this thinking is necessary, the foundation of the Yamen is not strong, if too much is invested in Jingzhaofu Road and other places, it is very likely to drag down the Yamen, causing all Wu Shaogang's dreams to come to naught.

In November, information came from Dadu that the Mongol court had sent an envoy to Sichuan again, and the envoy was Zhang Wenqian.

This move by the Mongol court once again sparked controversy.

Li Tingzhi believes that the Mongolian court did not send a large army to conquer, but continued to send envoys to come, which explains a lot of problems, according to Kublai Khan's character, the loss of Jingzhaofu Road and other places must be like thunder, immediately sent a large army to attack, but people did not do this, which further shows that Jingzhaofu Road and other places are too poor and not worthy of the Mongolian court to fight.

Hao Jing, and even Liu Bingzhong, all have this understanding.

A consensus has been formed in the Jiedu Envoy Yamen, temporarily giving up the governance of Jingzhaofu Road and other places, but Wu Shaogang did not express his opinion for the time being and did not make a final decision.

Finally, Zhang Wenqian, who was a Mongolian envoy, arrived in Chengdu.

Before settling down in the official post, Zhang Wenqian was taken to the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy.

It's the Spring Festival soon, Chengdu Fucheng has shown a festive atmosphere, the bustling crowd on the street, everyone has a comfortable smile on their faces, all these scenes are seen by Zhang Wenqian in his eyes and remembered.

Entering the yamen, Zhang Wenqian was also observing, the yamen was in order, and the officials were trotting when they walked, obviously busy with their own things.

Zhang Wenqian was taken directly to the wing.

When he saw Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Yunchuan Festival, Zhang Wenqian was also stunned for a moment, after all, Wu Shaogang was too young.

When Zhang Wenqian faced Wu Shaogang, he was about to make a big salute, but was stopped by Wu Shaogang waving his hand.

"Zhang Wenqian, thank you for everything you have done before, this time you came to Sichuan, have a good rest and adjustment, after the Spring Festival, you can think about other things."

"I've admired adults for a long time, and I can see you today..."

Before Zhang Wenqian finished speaking, Wu Shaogang smiled.

"Zhang Wenqian, in front of me, you don't need to say these words, I can't get used to listening to these words, when you were in the Mongolian court, you were called the first person among the Han ministers, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Dou Mo and Xu Heng and others, for your ability, are full of praise, after the Spring Festival, the festival will make the yamen give you a heavy responsibility."

"I will do my best to live up to the expectations of adults."

"I believe in you, there is a little reminder to you, Sichuan is not a big capital, just do your best to do things, don't have so many worries, and don't think about the things that happened in the Mongolian court, those so-called mistakes, nothing, the more people who do things, there will be such and such mistakes, people who don't do things, there are no mistakes, only one point, loyalty is the strictest and most basic requirement."

"Remember."

"Well, you went to Sichuan as an envoy this time to ask the army to evacuate Jingzhaofu Road and other places and return to Sichuan, so that the two sides can be in peace with each other, what do you think of Kublai Khan's request."

"In the next thought, this is pure nonsense, the place that has been occupied, how can it be easily ceded, the two sides were fighting each other, the victor was able to occupy many places, think about the year, when the Mongol court occupied the Central Plains, even violated the agreement with the Song court, and did not see the Mongol court cede a point of land...

The smile on Wu Shaogang's face slowly froze, as if he was thinking about something.

After Zhang Wenqian finished speaking, Wu Shaogang stood up and walked opposite Zhang Wenqian.

"Zhang Wenqian, what you said is very good, whether it is rich or barren, it is a place under our control, and we can't let it out, we must firmly hold on to it."

After Zhang Wenqian left the wing, not long after, Li Tingzhi came in.

After Li Siqi went to Chang'an Fucheng, Li Tingzhi was directly responsible for the affairs of Sichuan, because of his special identity and usual illustrious experience, Li Tingzhi's status in Sichuan was also extraordinary, it can be said that he was second only to Wu Shaogang.

"Father-in-law, I think we will never be able to abandon Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road, these places have been poisoned by the Mongolian court, it has reached the point of unsustainable, if we can govern these places well, wouldn't it prove that we are far stronger than the Mongolian court, I believe that the people in these places can also see and feel."

"We will pay the price for managing Jingzhaofu Road and other places, but such a price must be paid, and the harvest we can get in the future is far higher than these costs. . . ."

Nowadays, it is mainly based on agricultural economy, supplemented by commerce and trade, and it is impossible to compare with the millennium later, and the transportation conditions are backward, so the gap between the Central Plains and the south will not be too large, only one point, there is a gap in terms of population, and the number of people who determine whether a place is rich and prosperous, the number of people occupies the biggest factor.

Hearing Wu Shaogang say this, Li Tingzhi frowned and spoke.

"Cangling, what you said is right, I have also considered these things, but the ability of the festival to make the yamen is limited, and it is impossible to fully support the expenses of Jingzhaofu Road and other places, from now until the autumn harvest of the next year, there is still more than half a year, this time needs the support of the yamen, and the cost of money and food is too great."

"Father-in-law, we don't necessarily need to come up with so much money and food, as long as we can establish a strategy, we can solve the dilemma in places like Jingzhaofu Road."

"Oh, you've got a good idea."

"Relocation of the population, into Jingzhaofu Road and other places, the population of Sichuan Road has been too concentrated, the contradiction of land has long erupted, so far, Jingnan Road still has people relocated to Sichuan, why don't we move part of the population to Jingzhaofu Road, as long as we establish the strategy of allocating arable land, I believe that there are many people who are willing to move over."

"Cangling, do you mean that through the allocation of land, the people of Sichuan will voluntarily move to Jingzhaofu Road and other places?"

Wu Shaogang nodded.

Li Tingzhi thought for a moment and patted his thigh hard.

"This method is good, I think we can ask the officials at all levels in Jingzhaofu Road and other places to immediately start cleaning up the cultivated land in detail, abolishing the previous cultivated land contract, redividing the land, and all the people who are willing to go to Jingzhaofu Road and other places will be given a certain amount of money and grain subsidies, and allocated to cultivated land, so that a large number of people will move to Jingzhaofu Road and other places."
