The gilded bronze sculpture of the king of Pingxi prancing on his horse and raising his whip. It did cost a lot of silver, but he didn't ask Crouching Tiger City to ask for a penny, all of which were earned back to Zhao Xing from operating local commercial trade since Liu Yu arrived in the Western Regions. Zhao Xing, who had only been hanging around Liwei City for a few days, had not yet seen his mansion and sculptures.

Zhao Xing himself is a little reluctant to engage in a cult of personality, but in extraordinary times and in the face of extraordinary situations, he really has to use such a rather shameless method.

Because there is no co-master, the Western Regions have their own policies, and the small countries are pointing fingers at each other, and they are looking for the big country to be their backer;

Over the years, these countries of different nationalities in the Western Regions have devoted a lot of energy to endless internal friction, and some countries have obviously only tens of thousands of people, but they have even gone so far as to protect more than 10,000 troops, and almost all the young and strong men in the country have been recruited into the army, relying only on the old and weak women and children to provide for them.

Liu Yu discussed with Guan Yu, and felt that since Zhao Xing was crowned the king of Pingxi in a high-profile manner, he simply made the scene and the formation bigger, and created the momentum of the king of Pingxi in the Western Regions in the shortest possible time, so that after conquering the various countries in the next step, he would gain the recognition of the people of all ethnic groups and support Zhao Xing to become the co-lord of the Western Regions.

From ancient times to the present, it makes sense that it is a big fist. The number of troops under the command of King Pingxi was 120,000, and in fact, the nearly 400,000 troops of the Protector Army were also under his orders. Zhao Xing, who owns half of the territory of the Han Dynasty and has tens of millions of people under his command, speaks with his fists in the Western Regions, and no one can resist it. Now Liu Yu has people create statues of Zhao Xing's "domineering side leaks" in conspicuous positions everywhere, the purpose is to instill the impression of Zhao Xing's heroes to the Hu people in the Western Regions, and pave the way for the next gentle and gradual annexation.

The sculpture of "Pingxi Wang Zhao of the Great Han Dynasty" in the middle of Pingxi Wangfu Square is undoubtedly a masterpiece in terms of sculpture skills and the shape of the sculpture itself. However, this did not prevent Liu Yu from erecting a number of sculptures on the themes of Pingxi Wang's bravery, martial arts, majesty, and the world's gaze on Liwei City, Jiaohe City, and the former Black Mountain Kingdom, which had been occupied by the army of the King of Pingxi.

Liu Yu had never heard of the term personality cult, but he was clearly very political in his game.

In addition to building Zhao Xing's sculptures in various places, Liu Yu has done more work based on the principle of moisturizing things silently and gradually integrating. For example, he had people set up cram schools in Yanqi, Cheshi, Heishan, Jiaohecheng and other places to teach locals to learn Chinese and understand Chinese characters, and began to build some public infrastructure similar to that in the Jin Kingdom, teaching local people how to increase crop yields, how to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, how to process by-products of animal husbandry, and how to increase their incomes based on the existing local conditions.

In order to smoothly implement some of his ideas, Liu Yu, who came to the Western Regions, first visited various tribes one by one, and learned from the side which of these ethnic groups were fair, respected, and had strong appeal within the ethnic group, and then sent people to invite these elders to Yuanqu City to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Pingxi Palace, and took the opportunity to feast these old men.

At the banquet, Liu Yu expressed his thoughts and sincerely invited these elders to stand up and help him govern the Western Regions together. He made the truth very clear, rather than needlessly going against King Pingxi to the end, and as a result, being completely excluded from the circle of the core group, it was better for everyone to happily send people to jointly formulate the rules of the game and manage the Western Regions together. The old men who participated in the banquet also understood what Liu Yu meant, and most of them expressed their understanding and support, and the remaining few also recommended suitable candidates.

Liu Yu, as the minister personally appointed by Zhao Xing, had the power to appoint a group of staff members to assist him in managing internal affairs, so next, Liu Yu formed a "joint shogunate" with the participation of representatives of major tribes.

To be able to participate in the great cause of governing the Western Regions is a great honor for the participants themselves and the tribes they represent behind them. Therefore, the local officials who were recruited by Liu Yu to serve in the Pingxi palace cherished this precious errand very much, not only vigorously promoted Liu Yu's generous policies within their own clans, but also actively gave advice to Liu Yu and properly handled matters involving the distribution of interests among various ethnic groups.

Less than half a year after Liu Yu arrived in the Western Regions, his reputation for diligence and gentleness, fairness and honesty was spread by the local Hu people. Everyone said that the king of Pingxi invited the best officials from the Han Dynasty to serve as the prime minister, and as long as Liu Yu was in the Western Regions, a happy life in the future was just around the corner.

Liu Yu, who was already comfortable with promoting economic development, had just gained a firm foothold in the Western Regions, and began to tap the geographical advantages of the Western Regions as the central hub connecting the Han Dynasty and the Great Qin (Roman Empire), and vigorously promoted the local trade and trade exchanges with the Han Dynasty and the countries in the extreme west.

Liu Yu asked Yanqi merchants to go to Dawan, Dayueshi, Guishuang, Kangju and other countries to find horses with pure bloodlines and suitable as cherished horse breeds, and then use a lot of money to find a way to transport them back to Yanqi for breeding, and after these horses have been carefully bred, they can earn a steady stream of wealth for the local horse herdsmen in Yanqi in the future.

Liu Yan also asked the Yanqi women to organize and set up a joint workshop for the production of Yanqi powder, so that the well-known women's cosmetics "rouge" formed a one-stop from raw material collection, production and export. The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the export of "rouge" is uniform and the price is uniform, which can greatly increase the production of rouge and increase the income of local women.

There are many rivers in Yanqi, and there is a large lake with a very open area, which is called Qinhai. In the past, fishermen by the river and lake only regarded this lake as a cornucopia of what they wanted, but they did not know how to protect fishery resources, let alone how to deep process the delicious fish and shrimp they caught.

After conducting a detailed survey of the area around the Qinhai Sea, Liu Yu asked all the fishermen to register with the official office, which issued them fishing licenses that allowed them to fish in the Qinhai Sea, and then asked the fishermen to take turns to go out of the boat to reduce the intensity of fishing. The fish and shrimp caught by the fishermen were purchased by the government and sold to the Zuixian Building, which had sprung up in Yanqi China, and was cooked into a delicious signature lake by the chefs recruited from the Guannai by the Zuixian Building, which won the praise of past business travelers.

After a while, the fishermen found that although they had less time out of the lake, their income had increased a lot, and the size of the fish and shrimp in the lake had also increased. As a result, the fishermen actively responded to Liu Yu's follow-up policy, spontaneously salvaging sludge and floating debris in the Qinhai Sea, and dredged and cleaned up the large and small rivers that flow into the Qinhai Lake. Now the fishermen have learned that by protecting the cleanliness and purity of Qinhai Lake, they are protecting their own happiness.

There are many other examples of this, all of which can be seen Liu Yu's dedication and dedication in governing the Western Regions, and his outstanding ability once again proves Zhao Xing's extraordinary vision.
