"Oh, listening to Lord Wang, this Bai Yuanzhong seems to have some intentions?"

"Well, Mistress, it doesn't really matter, what matters is whether he is talented or not, whether he is worthy of attention. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As for some differences in means, my subordinates think it's understandable. Wang Yi explained with a wry smile.

Snorting from her nose, Angel's face recovered slightly, "What is the idea of this Bai Yuanzhong?"

"Mastermother, Bai Yuanzhong has made a lot of trouble in the river, and the Hejian Mansion can be regarded as the number one in the entire western Xinjiang, and now the land of Beiyuan and Heshuo has been rebuilt, and the matter of rebuilding the new county is also on the agenda, and the first major event of the first construction of the new county is naturally the selection of the governor, I heard that the government affairs office suggested last time that the governor candidate can be selected from the best of the various prefectures and city guards, as soon as this wind comes out, then these people who are expected to compete for the position of the governor are not stretching their necks and looking forward to it? It's just that the eyes of the people of the Supervision Department are vicious, and they look at these people who dare to violate discipline and foul rules, in addition to working hard to do a good job, these city guards can only prick up their ears to listen to the news, this time the master mother came to the western Xinjiang, such an opportunity, how could the city guards along the road not take the opportunity to stammer, this is also reasonable, the master mother really does not need to care. Wang Yi's words are also decent, picking up the topic and saying it directly, and there is no slippage.

"I see, but if he wants to fight the governors of these two places again, doesn't he know that I never ask about government affairs, and he is not afraid of backfire?" asked Angel thoughtfully.

"Mastermother, there are no other outrageous words between this Bai Yuanzhong's words, how can it be counterproductive? Not to mention that I heard that his government affairs office is ranked first in the quarterly assessment, I am afraid that it is also a bamboo in my chest. Wang Yi didn't want to interject too much, sometimes the more these things were explained, the worse they became.

"For the sake of his talent, I won't care about him, if he is really talented, he doesn't need to drill into the administrative department, and he will take it into account, and he will spend his spirit on this, I think it will be difficult for this kind of person to become a governor. Angel's words were plain and majestic, "Lord Wang, please bring a message to Bai Yuanzhong for me, I hope he will be more pragmatic, less drilling, and don't get involved in those officialdom habits within the empire, which will not make sense in Western Xinjiang." In this way, today we will hurry up and rest later, and tomorrow we will strive to cross Tianshui City in the afternoon, and we can rest in Zhendian in the evening, I don't want to see the second Bai Yuanzhong appear. ”

"The subordinate understood. Wang Yu nodded yes.

"Lord Wang, I want to ask, let me sit in Kansai this time, where will I put the seventeenth princess? Hasn't Your Royal Highness considered this issue?" Angel finally asked the most difficult question.

"This, we have all thought about it repeatedly, the seventeenth princess is not suitable at this time, and you can only play this role. As for the seventeenth princess, with her wisdom, she should understand the reason why Her Highness did at this time. Wang Yu replied lightly.

Except for the sound of the wind, the carriage seemed to be calm again, and both of them were chewing on the meaning of their words. This means that many times people often do not act exactly according to their own wishes and feelings, but must be subordinate to the big picture and play the role that he or she should play.

On March 18, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Li Wufeng, the Qin king of the Tang River Empire and the protector of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, who had already returned to Guanxi from Tiannan, spoke to the media while passing through the Lujiang River, saying that now that the empire's civil power is withering and the economy is declining, the whole country should give priority to national affairs and take the voice of the people as a warning, calling on all parties in the empire to abandon their past grievances and maintain the current hard-won prospects for peace. He also said that Shangjing was imminent, and in order to reflect his original intention of peace, he announced that he would reduce the army on a large scale within his territory.

"Northwest Star", "Southern Daily" and other mainstream media in western Xinjiang published the full text of Li Wufeng's speech the next day, while Yanjing's "Every Fast" and "Imperial News" When newspapers and periodicals with surnames across the country also reprinted this speech as soon as possible, just when many people in the empire thought that this was nothing more than a trick by Li Wufeng to win the hearts and minds of the people, the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Bureau also officially introduced a plan for the reduction of local garrison units. The six major legions of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate were also adjusted on a large scale, streamlining some useless logistics personnel, maintaining the full strength of the legions, and strictly prohibiting overstaffing. The full elimination plan will be completed within a month.

It should be said that this plan was not lightly thrown, but it still caused quite a repercussion in the empire, after all, when the shadow of the external invasion had not yet disappeared, and the dense clouds of civil war began to shroud again, Li Wufeng, as the largest foreign vassal of the empire, actually raised the banner of disarmament, although the slogan of rectifying the six major army corps was meaningless, it was just a vague and vague frame, but the reduction of the garrison force was real, this time at least more than 100,000 troops should be eliminated, and according to the vigorous and resolute work efficiency of the western Xinjiang, the garrison of this army corps would disappear within a month, and a month laterEveryone knows that anything can happen after this meeting of kings, and it is not dangerous to cut down the army at this time.

Wu Feng's move was also premeditated a long time ago, with the continuous expansion of his own territory, the number of troops is getting bigger and bigger, according to the territory he now controls, even if there is only one wing of the garrison force in each province, there are more than 200,000 garrison troops, these garrison troops are not high in combat effectiveness, and some are scattered, except for some border prefectures and counties, the functions of the inland prefecture and county garrison units have gradually been replaced by the police stations that have been strengthened, and in some places the garrison has even become a burden, in view of this situation, Wu Feng made a decision to reduce the garrison on a large scale。

Wufeng's plan was also supported by the Military Affairs Administration and the Government Affairs Bureau, which believed that it would be a good thing to reduce the financial burden and increase the number of capable labor force in various localities, and that the Military Affairs Administration would be able to digest these useless garrison units, effectively improve the overall quality of the army, and use the saved funds for the support of elite troops.

In fact, although this disarmament plan is suspected of being a show, it is indispensable, of course, the main reason is related to the financial problems of Western Xinjiang, the military expenditure of Western Xinjiang has reached a terrifying astronomical figure, and the number of troops that need the financial burden of Western Xinjiang alone exceeds one million, which has far exceeded the number of regular troops in the heyday of the Tang River Empire, and now the empire is still the richest place, Li Wufeng has not even obtained a single land.

On average, the monthly salary payment for military officers and soldiers has reached 6 million imperial gold coins, that is, the annual salary expenditure of officers and men of the army alone has reached more than 70 million imperial gold coins, and this is only the salary, plus the regular training and maintenance expenses of the troops, and the budget of the Finance Department should also be more than 50 million imperial gold coins for the annual expenditure in this regard, so that the annual military expenditure in Western Xinjiang will exceed 130 million imperial gold coins, but this is only a conservative calculation in peacetime, and there is no calculation of the special military expenditure required in the event of a war。 Calculated in this way, even if there are one or two medium-sized wars, it is estimated that the military expenditure in Western Xinjiang will exceed 150 million.

When the Financial Department handed over this military budget expenditure to Li Wufeng, who had not bothered to do much since James was in charge of financial affairs, Wufeng couldn't help but be greatly surprised, although he had the gold and antiques he had seized from Inde'an as a foundation, and although the financial industry was now developing by leaps and bounds, if the military expenditure was calculated in this way, it would be difficult to sustain the current financial resources of Western Xinjiang, especially the military spending that had crowded out some projects that should have been invested in civil affairs, such as road transportation, farmland and water conservancy. Infrastructure construction such as urban construction, as well as investment in scientific and technological development, culture and education, and medical and public health, have made the already backward civil affairs in various parts of western Xinjiang even more embarrassing, especially in education and public health.

Although Wufeng also took some measures to attract foreign private schools and academies to run schools in Western Xinjiang, this kind of non-governmental organization was inherently insufficient in terms of funds, and it was difficult to expand the scale by relying on the support of the local gentry and the subsidies of the local political axe. Under these circumstances, Wu Feng came up with the idea of disarmament, but the war task in front of him is still quite heavy, if the six major army corps are eliminated, it will not be conducive to the development of the war in the later stage, and the impact on the morale of the army will also be fatal, and the only way is to eliminate the garrison force.

Wufeng's plan to eliminate the garrison force still caused some confusion, many soldiers who had served in the garrison for a long time were also angry when they were disbanded, they asked to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin, confided their requirements, and even caused a small-scale disturbance for a time, but Wufeng was also prepared, in addition to preparing a relatively generous retirement pension, he also adopted a policy of differentiation, absorbed a group of high-quality personnel to retire and join the police department of the local internal affairs department, and also called on the industrial and commercial workshops around the country to absorb more of these people into the workshop, through various means, to gradually resolve these unstable factors。
