"My lord, I want to take the liberty of asking, I heard that my lord intends to divide Beiloulan into two parts, the east is still the Vito region, and the west is another area, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Standing up and talking was a thin old man dressed in Andean attire, with a withered yellow face, the appearance of a general deputy patient, and his speech also seemed a little lacking in qi, he glanced at the elder of the Gaoyue people opposite with contempt, obviously looking down on those so-called barbarians, and after getting up, he respectfully performed a Loulan aristocratic etiquette to Qin Dui, and then asked.

However, as soon as his words came out, it immediately aroused the discussion of the representatives below, it was obvious that these people did not know that there would be such a big change, of course, they saw that there were no representatives from the Cooper and Pritsy people in the west, but some time ago, the representatives of Qin Dui consulted with them and acted alone, so they did not know whether they negotiated with the peoples in the west, but judging from the fact that there were no representatives of the western nationalities in the venue today, but the participation of the representatives of the Gaoyue barbarians in the east, what the thin old man said should be true.

This thin old man is the most prestigious gentry among the Andean people who stayed and did not flee, he once served as an official in charge of commercial affairs in the local government of Vito City, he originally had a good opinion on the Loulan government not paying attention to the development of the North Loulan area, and several times he wrote to the Loulan court and was lost in the sea without any news, so he resigned and went home to do business wholeheartedly, becoming one of the largest grain and oil merchants in North Loulan, he maintained a very good relationship with the local Daqin gentry and merchants, and his reputation in Vito City was also quite good.

Qin Dui had exchanged views with this person twice a few days ago, and the two sides also had a very good conversation, and their opinions and ideas were very consistent, and he also asked Qin Dui if he had any plans for regional adjustment, but Qin Dui had not yet decided to perfunctory the past, and only said that he would give everyone a clear statement in the end.

Nodding slightly. Qin Duan replied, "Yes, I do mean that. To tell you the truth, my army had already taken control of the entire northwest of Loulan, including the westernmost Luhai Marsh, ten days ago, and now the army is stationed in Shuangduiji. Due to historical reasons, Beiloulan has always been a multi-ethnic area, with the city of Vito as the center to the east. The Andean people are the majority, but there are still a considerable number of Gaoyue, Daqin, and a small number of Indians, and the large number of Gaoyue people has not been brought under the management of the local government, which I cannot tolerate. ”

Unhurriedly, he picked up the waiter and brought the coffee. Taking a sip, Qin Duan continued to elaborate on his thoughts: "The western part of the country is vast and the ethnic composition is more complex, with the Cooper and Priqi people accounting for about half of the local population, while the Andeans, Daqin people, and Indean people also account for a considerable proportion, and there are several other smaller ethnic groups distributed near the Green Sea Marsh. Such a fertile and fertile large area of land still does not have a decent central city, which is not in line with my idea of common development of all ethnic groups, so I decided to build a new city in Shuangduiji and make it the center of the western part of Beiloulan, so that there is Vito City in the east and Shuangdui City in the west, and the two sides promote each other, support each other and compete with each other. It can greatly promote the economic development of Beiloulan, and this plan has also been warmly welcomed by the Cooper, Puriqi and other local ethnic groups. ”

Qin Duan's planning and design about the future direction of Beiloulan immediately showed everyone present a beautiful and attractive bright future. Everyone here is all a celebrity with a huge net worth, and they also represent the ethnic groups and social groups to which they belong, and when they heard Qin Duan's outline, they immediately exchanged their heads with each other, obviously considering how feasible Qin Duan's plan was.

After a middle-aged man in a Chinese costume got up and made a national salute to Qin Du, he looked around at the crowd around him before he spoke: "My lord." As you just said, for a long time, due to historical reasons, our North Loulan has been lagging behind in economic development with South Loulan and Middle Loulan, and there is only one city in North Loulan - Vito City, and the scale of the city is also the smallest in the entire Loulan area. The geographical scope of North Loulan has greatly exceeded that of South Loulan if it is added to the eastern Dahengduan Mountains, and the area of Zhongloulan is comparable. ”

"Now that your Excellency has decided to divide Beiloulan into two parts and govern the western part of the country, I would like to ask a question that is of great concern to all of you, that is, after the establishment of the autonomous government, what measures will be taken to stimulate and promote the economic development of the region? Is it the same as the measures taken by the adults earlier when they governed the Northwest County of the Empire? ”

Qin Duan was silent on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart, this man of the Great Qin clan was also a prestigious gentry in Vito City, he was one of the largest tobacco merchants in Loulan in Northeast China, and he owned several large-scale tobacco plantations outside the city, and there were standardized tobacco processing factories in the city; One of his brothers opened the largest private school in Vito City, and many of the children of civilians of all ethnic groups in Vito City studied in his school, and his other brother ran a large transportation house and inn in Vito City, and the whole family had considerable influence in Vito City, and had a very good relationship with the Andean people in the region, and was also one of Qin Du's biggest Olympic aids in North Loulan.

As soon as he said this, he had already disguised his support for Qin Dui's change of administrative region, and he also vaguely implied that he recognized Qin Dui's absolute control over this region.

"That's a good question! I think that's probably the most important concern for everyone here. In this case, although the specific measures will be formulated and implemented by the officials of the self-made government, that is, some of the officials elected by you, and the officials I have dispatched, I can talk about the plan in a rough way. Qin Duan replied confidently.

"First of all, with the support of the imperial court, the traffic situation in Beiloulan must be fundamentally improved in a short time; Second, the city of Vito will also be further expanded until it reaches a scale commensurate with its location; Third, necessary adjustments will also be made in local taxes and tariffs to promote the further development of the local economy. Qin Duan's words were vague, like scratching his boots, which was unsatisfactory.

An impatient Indean merchant stood up in a hurry, hurriedly bowed and asked, "My lord, I would like to ask about the tariff, I wonder if you can explain it in more detail?" "He is a well-known salt merchant in North Loulan, and since Loulan does not produce salt, he has to import a large amount of salt from Guide Province in Northwest County every year, so he is particularly concerned about whether there is a change in tariffs.
