"Paying equal attention to agriculture and commerce, is this the way out and development of my Hexi?" After Huo Guang listened to Lu Shu's tirade, his heart fluctuated for a long time. It can be said that Lu Shu not only found a breakthrough for him to open up the situation in Hexi, but also set the tone for the future development of Hexi.

"Haha, I have Lu Shu, and I can top ten Sang Hong sheep!" Huo Guang was in a good mood and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh. And he has a new understanding of Lu Shu, and his high evaluation makes everyone in the tent look sideways.

In this era and even in the next millennium, agriculture has always been the foundation of the whole country, and Sang Hongyang put forward the theory of commercial establishment as early as two years ago. At that time, even the emperor thought it was a whimsical plan, which had great limitations, and later it was not abandoned. But now Lu Shu has put forward the idea of paying equal attention to agriculture and business, and with the special geographical location of Hexi, this is much more reliable.

In terms of feasibility and practicality alone, Huo Guang felt that Lu Shu had more vision than Sang Hongyang. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the difference between the two is not accidental, Sang Hongyang is only a businessman, and some of the later theories also come from the experience of business in the early years, but Lu Shu is different. Although he is already the richest businessman in the world and the marquis of Wanguan, he still personally investigates the field along the way, and goes deep into the pastures and rivers Daze, and the gap between the two is naturally clear at a glance.

"It is the duty of art to share worries for the Lord!" Lu Shu bowed respectfully to Huo Guang. But in his mouth he did not call himself the governor again, but the lord.

The other Hexi high-level leaders in the tent were slightly surprised, and they looked at Lu Shu with curiosity and admiration. Everyone couldn't help but guess in their hearts, I'm afraid that the relationship between this Wanguan Marquis and Huo Guang is by no means as simple as the rumors on the surface. The lord is the title of the courtiers to the monarch, which means that in the eyes of Lu Shu, there is only Huo Guang, and there is no Han Emperor.

Huo Guang didn't blame Lu Shu for suddenly calling himself like this, but carefully glanced at the faces of everyone in the tent at this time. At present, in addition to Huo Guang and Lu Shu, there are only six people in the account: Dongfang Shuo, Du Yannian, Li Ling, Shangguan Ji, Zhao Ponu, and Fulu Branch.

The expressions of the six people were different, Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian's expressions changed slightly at first, but they were relieved only in an instant. Li Ling was stunned for a moment and everything was as usual, but Shangguan Ji always looked like he took it for granted. As for Zhao Ponu and Fu Lu Zhi, they looked surprised and struggled a little.

"Now that the tone has been set, let's follow this path from now on. Tomorrow, I will go to the west of Dunhuang to choose a site to build a pass. Huo Guang pressed on the sand table with one hand and set the final tone, which will be the development direction of Hexi in the next few years.

Outside the city of Dunhuang, it is now busy. In a few months, a large number of craftsmen have been heavily invested here, and the generous wages have also made some Western Regions refugees come to Dunhuang and devote themselves to the upsurge of building Dunhuang.

As for the process of transforming the three oases, it has not yet officially begun, because it will be a huge project that will be a huge project in the past, and the economy of Hexi is not enough to support two huge projects at the same time.

"Teacher, the two passes have a total of 70,000 people, and now the construction period has exceeded half, and the names of the two passes have not yet been decided, Mr. Dongfang asked the teacher to set the names of the passes as soon as possible." In the Hexi Army camp outside Dunhuang City, Zhao Yinhua asked Huo Guang with a letterhead.

Now Huo Guang's important subordinates have been dispatched, Dongfang Shuo and Li Ling are responsible for the construction of the pass in the northwest of Dunhuang, and Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji are responsible for the construction of the pass in the southwest. And Lu Shu is still in the three oases with a large number of people to measure the land and deduce the transformation plan.

"The northwest pass will take the name of Yumen, and the southwest can be called Yangguan. In addition, I sent an edict to promote him to the rank of Captain of the Protector of the Merchant, responsible for the safety of the way into the Hexi Merchant Brigade. Huo Guang said two names very casually, and then announced another appointment.

Gao Buzhi did not disappoint Huo Guang in the end, and when the period of March was about to expire, he brought more than 4,000 people to the Hexi Army camp to resume his life. Huo Guang gave him 3,000 people, but when he brought it back, it was more than 4,000 people, he not only exterminated the horse bandits in the Hexi Corridor, but also recruited some of them, but added more than 1,000 elite cavalry to Huo Guang out of thin air.

Even if Huo Guangdang assigned these more than 4,000 people to Gao Buzhi's command and asked him to set up a new school captain yamen, as long as he passed through the caravan in Hexi, he could pay for the escort of Gao Buzhi's army. At that time, Huo Guang changed the captain of the bandit to the captain of the merchant guard, and now a few months have passed, and Gao Buzhi has finally changed from a captain to a captain.

"What do you think of this place?" Suddenly, Huo Guang looked at Zhao Yinhua and asked casually.

There is a sand dune in the place less than 20 miles away from Dunhuang City, and a dark spring gushes outward under the side of the sand dune, and it actually forms a desert lake for several miles, Hubo is semicircular, and the form of the crescent moon has the name of the crescent spring. Not only does it have a unique microclimate, but it is also surrounded by greenery along the lake, including willows and other plants that should not be found in the desert. As early as before Huo Guang and others arrived in Dunhuang, it was already a famous landscape.

"It's a good place, and the students have been there a few times in their spare time, and sometimes they even have a feeling of being in the south of the Yangtze River in a trance." Zhao Yinhua thought for a while and said, she does go to the Crescent Spring often, and the Jiangnan in her mouth in this period refers to the south of the river, that is, part of the nine southeastern counties, the homeland of the ancient country where he once was.

Huo Guang looked at Zhao Yinhua and shook his head slightly, for this stubborn girl who used to love to raise the bar with him, he now regarded her as his student. When the old garden gave the sword, in fact, Huo Guang had already regarded the thirty-six students as disciples.

"The division plans to build the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Crescent Spring, and at the same time, the permanent battalion of the Hexi Army is also selected there." Huo Guang directly stated the plan, and after coming to Hexi for nearly a year, Huo Guang finally decided to build the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Yes, the scenery there is pleasant, and it is quite good to build a mansion to live in." Zhao Yinhua is also a person who can enjoy it, and hurriedly agreed with Huo Guang's decision.

When Huo Guang entered Hexi for almost a year, the whole Hexi began to slowly develop in the direction that Huo Guang prescribed. Chang'an City is as prosperous as ever, but since Li Yan and others returned from Pingyang, the Anyang Hou Mansion has closed its doors, except for Zhen Youcai, the general manager, who appears from time to time, the others seem to have disappeared.

It seems that when the entire Chang'an City forgot about the Anyang Hou Mansion, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove out of the Anyang Hou Mansion, and a beautiful woman in a light green dress like a fairy in the clouds swaggered out of Chang'an City under the escort of dozens of armor-clad guards of the Hou Mansion.

"Who is that woman? It's so beautiful, shouldn't it be a princess traveling in this battle? Such a guard of honor naturally attracted the attention of many people, some of whom were attracted by the beautiful face of the woman on the carriage, and some of whom were attracted by the huge contingent of guards, and began to speculate and discuss.

"That is not a princess, but the most beloved mèimèi of the Grand Duke, the wise as a demon" Someone recognized the emblem of the Marquis of Anyang, and also guessed the identity of Huo Tang on the carriage.

"The Grand Duke? Which Grand Governor? Someone didn't seem to know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China, so he asked with a puzzled face.

"Which Metropolitan Governor could it be? Our Han is just such a metropolitan governor! Naturally, it is the governor of Anyang Hou Huo! "Watching the lively crowd, naturally there are people asking questions and answers. Huo Guang has not made any great achievements since he became the governor of the capital, and even many people have forgotten about him, the governor of the Western Regions, but when the title of Marquis of Anyang is mentioned, everyone can't help but think of the young marquis who was born a few years ago and swept the world of foreign races.

It is said that today it was this Tang Xiǎojiě who was invited by Liu Xijun, the princess of Jiangdu, and Liu Jin, the eldest grandson of the emperor, to visit Cuihua Mountain.

The world doesn't know how these royal nobles and top magnates played, but when the guard of honor of the Marquis of Anyang returned to Chang'an again, a rather interesting piece of news spread and became known to people in a small area.

It is said that when this Tang xiǎojiě returned to Chang'an, he happened to meet an abandoned baby boy on the side of the road, and out of curiosity, Huo Tang took a look at the abandoned baby, but it was this glance that made the demon-like woman with eyes above the top take a fancy to the abandoned baby, and directly ordered someone to take the child back to the Hou Mansion.

The backyard of the Hou Mansion was busy, not only Huo Tang was quite fond of this child, but even the wife of the Hou of Anyang attached great importance to this child. An abandoned baby became the adopted son of the Hou Mansion by chance, and he was loved by thousands of people.

When the child was full moon, something even more unexpected happened. Huo Tang actually adopted this abandoned baby as an adopted son, and Huo Tang's name once again became the talk of the people of Chang'an after dinner, a girl who has not yet married, but already has an adopted son as a mother!

Ignoring the gossip outside, Huo Tang sat on the edge of the cradle and looked at the sleeping baby with a satisfied expression.

"An'er, you will be my Huo Tang's son in the future, I wonder what your father's expression will be when he sees our mother and son? Haha, what about the surname Huo? Your eldest son will call me mother after all" Huo Tang named the child Huo An, she lowered her head and muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear.

At this moment, Huo Tang looked intoxicated, and his eyes revealed the kind of paranoia and infatuation that would only be revealed when he was alone with Huo Guang!

The Crescent Moon Spring is now just the backyard of the Grand Governor's House. A huge mansion several times larger than Dunhuang City appeared twenty miles away from Dunhuang City, and the permanent military camp of the Hexi Army was only two or three miles away from the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the two were like a giant beast lurking in this vast sand dune.

"Welcome the Metropolitan Governor back to his home" Outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the Western Regions, Huo Guang came galloping with dozens of horses, and when he arrived outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the dozens of soldiers guarding the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion bowed down on one knee and bowed down. Then Huo Guang and a group of subordinates behind him turned over and dismounted, and strode into the mansion.

Huo Guang was in the main position, and then Dongfang Shuo, Du Yannian, Lu Shu and others were on the right side in turn, while Zhao Ponu, Shangguan Ji, Li Ling and others were on the left side. Today, Yumen Pass and Yangguan were built at the same time, and Huo Guang returned from Yumen Pass and Yangguan with all these important people from Hexi.

"Now that the two levels have been completed, there is one thing we should start working on." Huo Guang looked at the full hall of civil and military, although the people are still those people, but after this year's running-in, these people have long been monolithic with him, and now they seem to have begun to take shape.

"The Lord is right, it's time to impose tariffs!" As soon as Huo Guang's words fell, Lu Shu said with a smile.

Not long ago, the high-level leaders in Hexi already knew the purpose of Huo Guang's construction of two passes, in fact, one was to serve as an outpost and barrier through the Western Regions, and the other was to collect past tariffs, and then use tariffs to transform the three major oases in Hexi.

"It's just that we have to think carefully about how this tax rate is." Du Yannian continued. The Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Western Regions had the privilege of issuing decrees, and it was also legal and reasonable to levy customs duties at Yumen Guanyang Pass.

"At least ten taxes one." Without waiting for everyone to continue the discussion, Huo Guang directly threw out his thoughts.

However, Huo Guang's sentence of ten taxes and one tax made almost everyone in the hall frown. Because this tax rate was too high at this time, the agricultural tax of the Western Han Dynasty has been fluctuating between fifteen taxes and one to thirty taxes, while the commercial tax is only about fifty taxes. It can be seen that this era is not an era of heavy taxation, which is also an important reason why the commerce of the Western Han Dynasty is so developed.

Since Huo Guang set the Hexi policy of attaching equal importance to agriculture and commerce, why did he suddenly impose such heavy tariffs? This made Dongfang Shuo and others very puzzled.

"Ten taxes are not indispensable, from the perspective of subordinates, even if it is ten taxes and two!" Just when everyone was puzzled, Lu Shu, who had the most say in the economy and business among the high-level leaders in Hexi, suddenly spoke, not only agreeing with Huo Guang's heavy tax policy, but even feeling that Huo Guang's tax rate was not heavy enough.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Lu Shu continued: "This explanation is a bit troublesome, but after it is implemented, you will slowly understand the after-effects after watching it." ”

Lu Shu sold a pass, he and Huo Guang glanced at each other, and a faint smile appeared on both of their faces. It seems that in the eyes of the two of them, the Yangguan and Yumen Pass are two endless mountains of gold and silver. ()
