Before heading west, Jiang Wei instructed all generals that if there was a shortage of soldiers and horses under his command, they should hurry up to replenish the soldiers. In addition, before returning to Lanzhou on his own, he should minimize large-scale conflicts with Wei.

The three most important things at the moment are military training, mining and farming.

Naturally, the generals of various departments are responsible for arranging military training, and on the one hand, they should pay close attention to replenishing the shortage of soldiers, and on the other hand, they should also strengthen the training of troops. In accordance with Zhuge Liang's method of military training, Jiang Wei ordered people to copy many copies of Zhuge Liang's book "Twenty-four Articles on the Art of War" and distributed it to all the generals of the Liangzhou Assassin Mansion, so that they could strengthen their study of the art of war.

Yang Yi was mainly responsible for the development of the Baopenshan copper mine, a coal mine in northwest Lanzhou, and actively explored the iron ore mines in Jiuquan County. As long as these three mines can be opened quickly, the problem of financial resources and equipment of the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion can be easily solved.

Farming is something that each Taishou is responsible for, whether it is Wuwei Taishou Ma Dai, Longxi Taishou Fu Tong or Yinchuan Taishou Xu Miao, they must take farming as a top priority, after all, the foundation of the war lies in grain and grass, and the granary of Liangzhou Thorn Mansion must be self-sufficient, so as to have the opportunity to firmly hold the Yongliang Dahan Counties, and then compete with Cao Wei.

After the matter was arranged, Jiang Wei ordered Zhuge Zhan to temporarily replace the Lanzhou Taishou, and he took his two wives and his little apprentice Liu Yuan, and ordered Liang Xu to lead two thousand Qilin troops to the north with him.

The destination of his trip was the Western Regions Changshi Mansion.

The Western Regions Changshi Mansion is the outpost of Wei in the Western Regions.

The scale of the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions may be between counties and counties, and at the same time it has the characteristics of a military tun. The subordinate officials under the Western Regions Changshi Mansion are: Changshi, Master Book, Gongcao History, and Bingcao History; There are also record Peng, Cang Cao Peng, Gong Cao Peng, Jian Liang Peng, and Jian Cang Peng; Armor, water Cao, tent generals, Wu Bai, horses, collars, consumer workers, etc., are very complete.

The long history of the Western Regions is administratively subordinate to the Liangzhou Thorn History Festival. It also belongs to Jiang Wei's rule. Therefore, Jiang Weicai decided to inspect the Western Regions Changshi Mansion.

In the Western Regions Changshi Zhi Office, there is a complete administrative organization, and its government office occupies a central position in Loulan City, and the scale is relatively large. The long history of the Western Regions exercised household registration control over the residents of Loulan City and Loulan area, set up judicial prisons, and established a postal network, and social life had obvious Han colors.

There is an army under the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions, which is also responsible for maintaining social order in addition to Tuntian. In short, the organizational form and functions of the administrative organs of the Western Regions are very complete, and they exercise effective control and management over this region.

Cao Wei's large-scale operations in Loulan were very large, and the soldiers reclaimed wasteland, built canals and dams, and planted all kinds of crops, so that agricultural production in the Loulan area developed considerably. It was thanks to the development of the oasis in the Loulan region that Cao Wei's rule in the Western Regions had a stable grain production area.

Jiang Wei had been to Loulan once before, which had long been reduced to a piece of yellow sand, except for the song "Loulan Girl", the ruins of Loulan were desolate and lifeless. I heard the tour guide say that this was once a whole oasis, and during the Three Kingdoms period, it was the seat of the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions of the Wei Kingdom, and it was very prosperous.

When passing by Wuwei, Jiang Wei inspected Wuwei City, which was the seat of Cao Wei Liangzhou, the city was solid, the money and food were sufficient, and there was indeed the weather of the largest city in Liangzhou.

After Jiang Wei was in Wuwei for a few days, he ordered Wuwei to guard Ma Dai, send out 10,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry, temporarily hand over Guan Yinping and Hua Wei to receive 5,000 each, and follow the team to the north. Then he led the army to continue to march towards Loulan.

Ma Dai also personally escorted Jiang Wei all the way across the Hexi Corridor to Yumen Pass in Dunhuang County before Ma Dai returned to Wuwei.

When he came out of Yumen Pass, the former Cao Wei Dunhuang County Taishou Emperor Fulong, who had returned to him, had been waiting at Yumen Pass for a long time.

The next stop was led by Huang Fulong and Jiang Wei to continue west.

Cao Wei had a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, of which about 5,000 were stationed in Dunhuang and another 5,000 were stationed in Loulan.

Huang Fulong's governance in Dunhuang was still quite effective, Jiang Wei asked Huang Fulong to go with him, and Huang Fulong continued to report to Jiang Wei on the affairs of the Western Regions as he walked.

Since serving as the Taishou of Dunhuang, Huang Fulong has focused on strengthening the governance of the Western Regions in two aspects.

On the one hand, Huangfu Song focused on improving the level of agricultural production in Hexi and the Western Regions, so that local farmers could learn to organize uneven cultivated land into small flat plots and use the diffused irrigation method of flood irrigation for water-saving irrigation. In terms of production tools, Huangfulong taught farmers to make cocoon ploughs commonly used by farmers in the Central Plains, and changed them to cocoon sowing to improve agricultural production technology and grain output.

On the other hand, according to the characteristics of the "Han and Hu mixed dwellings" in the Western Regions, Huang Fulong popularized the customs of the Han people among the Hu people, such as allowing the women of ethnic minorities to learn the new method of making groups, so as to save cloth. In this way, practical actions will be used to promote the sinicization of these Hu people, which is more conducive to ethnic exchanges and integration.

Listening to Huang Fulong's report, Jiang Wei felt that Huang Fulong was a very capable official, and it was really rare to be able to manage the Western Regions, a region where Han and Hu lived together, in an orderly manner, so he had the heart to cultivate this official well.

At this time, Liu Yuan had been following Jiang Wei and heard Jiang Wei and Huang Fulong chatting with relish along the way. Then he came up and asked:

"Lord Huangfu, how do you think you can bring the countries of the Western Regions to their hearts?"

Huang Fulong looked at this eight-year-old child, feeling that this child could ask such a deep question at a young age, and was a little surprised, so he looked at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei explained with a smile: "I haven't introduced it to Lord Huangfu yet, this is my apprentice, named Liu Yuan, his father is Liu Bao, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, and he also has half Han blood. ”

Huang Fulong then arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be a high disciple of Lord Assassin Shi, not bad, it is really rare to have such knowledge at such a young age!" ”

Liu Yuan hurriedly bowed his hand to Huangfu Long and said, "I hope that Lord Huangfu will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Huang Fulong said: "This question is very complicated, but in the opinion of this official, it is very simple, if you want the countries of the Western Regions to return to their hearts, in the final analysis, there are only two things. ”

"Oh? Which are they? Liu Yuan's eyes widened and he looked at Huang Fulong expectantly.

Jiang Wei was also very interested in this issue and wanted to hear Huang Fulong's opinion.

Huang Fu Long then said:

"One of them is the prosperity of the country and the power of the Western Regions. Just like the morale of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national strength is prosperous, and the world is dominant, if the countries of the Western Regions are not satisfied, they can send 100,000 heavenly soldiers to crusade, and the army arrives, and the small country is annihilated in an instant. This is the confidence that those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! ”

"The second is to stay advanced and govern well. The reason why the countries of the Western Regions admire our Central Plains Dynasty is nothing more than that our Central Plains Dynasty has a more advanced civilization and more advanced technology, and if the countries of the Western Regions want to learn from the Central Plains, they will devote themselves to the Han. And the officials responsible for governing the Western Regions should also be kind to all ethnic groups, so that the government is harmonious, how can there be long-term peace and stability. ”

After listening to Huang Fulong's words, Liu Yuan suddenly felt that he had said it very well, and couldn't help but give Huang Fulong a thumbs up.

"Lord Huangfu said it very well, the students have been taught!"

Huang Fulong smiled and nodded.

After a few more days, the group kept moving forward, and finally saw a large boundless oasis, and Huang Fulong said excitedly:

"Lord Thorn Shi, in front of you is the Loulan Kingdom, which is where my Great Han Western Regions Changshi Mansion is located!"
