After meeting with the Cooper, Prich, Indian, Andean, Great Qin, and other small ethnic groups in the vicinity of the Green Sea Marsh, Qin Duan quickly established good relations with these influential people by virtue of his prestige and style, and also reached agreement on many important matters.

On the fourth day of arriving at Shuangduiji, Qin Duan convened important people from all walks of life in Northwest Loulan to hold the first multi-ethnic congress in the history of Northwest Loulan. At the meeting, under the strong encouragement of Qin Duan, representatives of all ethnic groups and all walks of life spoke freely, and had a heated discussion on the issues they were concerned about, Qin Dui and Lu Man and others also gave brief answers to some questions, at the meeting, Qin Dui also announced the treaty signed by him on behalf of the government of the Great Qin Empire and the government of the Grand Duchy of Loulan, and displayed the documents signed by the two sides on the spot, which made all the delegates present happy and convinced, and expressed their resolute obedience to Qin Dui's leadership.

At the end of the day, Qin Duan announced the formation of the Shuangdui Local Autonomous Government, with Lu Man as the Shuangdui City Guard, and its government structure was similar to that of the self-made government of Vito City, with the heads of the main administrative departments all controlled by officials from the Northwest County, and the other departments were appointed by the representatives of various ethnic groups in proportion. After discussing with Shangguan Yonglun and Zhuge Fang, Qin Duan decided that Liu Yuan, deputy commander of the Third Division of the Second Army Corps, and Li Wax, chief of staff, would serve as the candidates for the commander and deputy division commander of the Shuangdui Garrison Division, and the important officers of the Shuangdui Garrison Division would be transferred from the First Division.

On the question of the funds for the maintenance of the self-controlled government and the garrison force that was to be established, since Shuangdui City was a newly built city and had no foundation, Qin Du, Lu Man, and people representing various nationalities, strata, and groups also had arduous negotiations on how to maintain the normal operation of the government and army, and finally reached a consensus. Wealthy businessmen from all sides joined forces to donate two million Imperial Silver to the Self-Government on a pro-rata basis, and at the same time provided the Self-Government with an interest-free loan of three million Imperial Silver.

At the same time, the autonomous government is also required to do everything possible to start the construction of urban infrastructure in Shuangdui City, as well as the construction of road transportation, farmland and water conservancy facilities and grassroots political power in the northwest Loulan area, so as to promote the economic take-off of the northwest Loulan area.

Afterwards, Qin Duan exchanged views with Lu Man alone, who was ambitious and hurriedly hoped for the future of Shuangdui City. Jianyì can introduce several major money banks in the empire to set up branches in Shuangdui City, and at the same time borrow part of the money from the money bank, and at the same time start the municipal construction of urban facilities including city walls and streets, and the two roads leading to Vito City in the east and the Indean Kingdom in the northwest are also under construction at the same time, and the basic construction of rural farmland and water conservancy can also be gradually pushed forward according to the actual situation in various places.

This can greatly promote the development of the construction industry and related industries in the northwest Loulan area, and a large number of employment opportunities can also attract a large number of idle laborers and immigrants from the surrounding areas, which in turn can further promote the prosperity of the northwest Loulan.

In addition, Lu Man also proposed to move the plan of Shuangdui City slightly westward at the center of the existing Shuangduiji, and start to build the future Shuangdui City in the western suburbs of the current Shuangduiji. Of course, it is also necessary to take over the current Shuangdui market town, so that a large amount of land can be purchased at a low price, and when the office location of the various government departments is determined, a reasonable plan will be made, and the value of this land will surely appreciate significantly, and the self-government can also obtain a huge price difference to make up for the financial shortfall.

Qin Du affirmed Lu Man's ambition to start from scratch and praised his proposed urban construction plan. In particular, he was full of praise for his idea of changing the location of the existing city center and using the address of the new government office to drive the entire center area westward and take the opportunity to earn a lot of construction funds. Encourage him to implement boldly, don't worry about what goes wrong, and the problem will be borne by Qin Duan. In addition, Qin Duan also warned Lu Man to pay attention to the reasonable distribution of funds and not to be too hasty.

Just when Qin Duan had basically completed his mission to the Double Stack, he received a joint invitation from the five smaller ethnic minorities living around the Green Sea Swamp. He was invited to inspect the areas where several of their ethnic groups lived. These five ethnic minorities all live near the edge of the Green Sea Marsh, and are mainly engaged in farming and animal husbandry, and a considerable number of them are engaged in fishing and hunting in the edge of the Green Sea Marsh.

Due to its location in the most marginal area of Loulan and its small population, the total population of the five ethnic groups is less than 200,000. The original court of Loulan has never looked at these people squarely. For many years, it was difficult for government officials to visit the areas where their ethnic groups lived, and they only asked five ethnic groups to pay a full tribute every year.

In the face of the enthusiastic invitation of the five nationalities, Qin Duan was also a little hesitant, time passed quickly, he had been in Shuangdui for five days, if he wanted to go to inspect it, it would take at least a week, and it would take about ten days to return to Tokugawa County from here, and it would be very tight to rush back to the imperial capital to report on his work. However, Ling Fox Wing's words "These ethnic minorities are all rich in beauties, especially the women of the Danhai clan are even more distinctive", which immediately made Qin Duan accept the invitation happily.

The winter night came very early, and thinking of tomorrow's trip to the Five Clans, Qin Dui couldn't help but feel itchy. The boasting that added fuel to the fox wings made Qin Dui's heart itch for a long time, and he couldn't wait to grow wings and fly to his destination immediately to see what those unique beauties looked like.

……

Qin Duan's trip to the Green Sea Marsh was very fruitful, not only winning the affection of the five ethnic minorities, but also inspecting the situation of his westernmost territory. The Shatuo tribe, which is located in the westernmost part of the country and borders the Indean Kingdom, also reflected to Qin Dusk the hidden worries of their own ethnic group.

It turned out that due to the small population of the five tribes, especially the Shatuo tribe located at the very edge, with a population of only more than 30,000 people, and also lacked the necessary military strength, and the neighboring Indean Kingdom was an alliance composed of dozens of tribes of different sizes, and a tribe close to the Shatuo tribe - the Punjab tribe was relatively powerful, although it was not strong in the entire Indean Kingdom, but compared to the weak five tribes next to it, its power was too strong.

At the instigation and instigation of the nobles of the tribe, the armed forces of the tribe have been harassing the five tribes in recent years. Sometimes, they pretend to be horse thieves and bandits to rush into the territory of the five tribes to loot, sometimes they cross the border into the settlements of the five tribes to extort money under the pretext of suppressing bandits, and sometimes they simply openly demand that the five tribes pay a certain amount of protection money to ensure the safety of the people of the five tribes.
