Ying Zheng named half of the area of the Hexi Corridor Liangzhou, and since then, there has been one more state and county on the map of Daqin.

But Ying Zheng didn't want to make this matter public, one was to guard against the raids of the Xiongnu and the Yue Clan, and secondly, it was also for the sake of future considerations, if the regime of Great Qin changed hands in a few decades, then the several families who implemented the millennium plan would also have one more place to stay.

After everything was arranged, Ying Zheng repaired at Yongding Pass for a day, replenished grain and grass, and then marched to Longxi.

Yu Tu heard that Yingzheng had returned, so he rushed to Longxi with the elders and greeted him outside the city.

After a few months of adjustment, Yu Tu's condition is very good, not only has he not been sick again, but his spirit and strength are better than before.

"Grandfather!" Seeing Yu Tu waiting in front, Thorin, who was at the front of the line, shouted and urged the horse to gallop over.

When he got closer, Thorin dismounted, ran to Yu Tu, and saluted, "Grandfather, the child is back."

"Okay, just come back." Yu Tu patted Thorin on the shoulder and said, "Is this going well?"

"Hey, hey." Thorin smiled, "Smooth is smooth, but ah, my guide didn't play a role, along the way, it was the king of Xiqiang who accompanied the king, and he has been dredging up the relationship."

"Oh?" Yu Tu asked with a little surprise, "He also went?"

"yes." Solin said, "Uncle Wang of Xiqiang has been waiting in Jiayuguan for a long time, and he has delivered his credentials to the Western Regions in advance, and this road can be described as unimpeded."

"Hehe, the old man just informed him of some convenience, but he didn't want him to be so concerned." Yu Tu said with a smile.

"And that's not all." Thorin said, "Now, half of the land in the Hexi Corridor has been exchanged for our Great Qin by Xiqiang."

At this time, Thorin already regarded himself as a Qin person.

"Huh?" Yu Tu was really surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

"It's a long story, so when you get back to the city, let Brother Wang tell you."

As soon as Solin's words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Yingzheng, Qiang, the Meng brothers and Xu Wan all rushed over.

After greeting each other, everyone gathered around Yingzheng to the mansion in Longxi.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Thorin that it was the King of Xiqiang who accompanied you to the Western Regions all the way?" Yu Tu asked first.

"Well, yes, King Xiqiang accompanied him throughout the whole process, and he was not separated from the widow at Jiayuguan until a few days ago." Then, Ying Zheng told Yu Tu and others in detail about what happened along the way.

Yu Tu and all the Yiqu elders listened to it, and they all talked about it with relish and praised it again and again.

"Yiqu Gong." Ying Zheng looked at Yu Tu and said, "Now that the widow has decided to let Xu Wan take the people who moved out of the northwest of Longxi to the Hexi Corridor, and name it Liangzhou, the widow also wants to know what the Yiqu people think, do you want to stay in Longxi, or go to Beidi County?"

Nabeidi County, the hometown of Yiqu, is located on the east side of Longxi County, so it is also known as Longdong.

Yu Tu thought for a while and said, "Although Yiqu's homeland is good, but here in Longxi, Yiqu has just stabilized, if it goes through another migration, I'm afraid it will be labor again, and besides, winter is coming, it is no longer suitable to move."

"yes." The third elder said beside him, "Although it is the homeland, it has been invaded by the Xiongnu, and in my opinion, Yiqu should live a stable life here for a few years."

"Well, that's good." Several other elders also nodded, quite agreeing with Yu Tu and the third elder's statement.

Today's Yiqu is different from the Yiqu of the past, and it cannot withstand the attack of the Huns.

"In that case, it's better than this

like." Ying Zheng paused for a moment before saying, "Xu Wan will take the officials and troops of Longxi to Liangzhou, and this Longxi will be vacant, and the widow wants Yiqu Gong to take over Longxi, I don't know what to do?"

"Your Majesty, this must not be done." Yu Tu's brows condensed slightly, and he said urgently, "Daqin has contained Yiqu, and it is already a grace of heaven to give land and land, how can Yiqu be greedy for the whole county of Longxi anymore."

"Yiqu Gong's words are wrong." Ying Zheng shook his head slowly, and said with a smile, "Now

The relationship between Yiqu and Daqin is not a friendship between two states, and our relationship is really a monarch and a minister, right?"

Yu Tu nodded very seriously and said, "This is natural, the old man and the Yiqu clan have long been sincerely surrendered to the king, and this will not be false."

"Isn't that it?" Ying Zheng said, "Appointing courtiers according to their merits and talents is a reproach as a king. Now that there is no one to govern Longxi, and Yiqu Gong and all the elders have this ability, why can't they contribute to the widow?"

"This ......" Yu Tu opened his mouth, but couldn't find an excuse to shirk it.

"What's more, Yiqu is quite familiar with the Hexi Corridor, and when Xu Wan develops there, he will definitely be able to give enough support and help." Ying Zheng continued, "With your support in Longxi, Liangzhou can really open up, and the widow can completely relax about this matter."

Indeed, according to the current situation, no one is more suitable to take over Longxi than Yu Tu, and there is another point that even if Yingzheng sends another Taishou or county guard, he can only govern half of Longxi, and it is difficult to say whether there will be friction with Yiqu because of this.

Elder Yiqu was silent and didn't say anything, just waiting for Yu Tu to make a decision.

Ying Zheng understood that the elders of Yiqu did not express their opinions, but they had already silently agreed with his words.

After thinking for a while, Yu Tu finally spoke: "Well, sharing political affairs for the king and governing a territory is what a courtier should do, but the old man is old and has just recovered from a serious illness, so he really doesn't have the energy to govern the entire Longxi."

"Besides, the old man has already passed on the position of the patriarch of Yiqu to Suo Lin, it is better that the king directly let Suo Lin govern Longxi, with the old man and the elders behind him as support, I believe that he will definitely not live up to the king's trust."

Thorin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Grandfather, I'm ......."

Yu Tu raised his hand to block what Thorin was about to say, and said, "Of course, if Thorin has no faith, the king will naturally send someone else over, whether it is okay or not, you brothers should discuss it with each other."

It was a beautiful ball.

If Yu Tu directly inherits it, he is indeed suspected of coveting Longxi, and Suo Lin has indeed taken over the position of Yiqu patriarch in name.

Ying Zheng looked at Solin and asked calmly, "How is it, Patriarch Yiqu, are you willing to help the widow govern Longxi well?" When the widows conquer the world, the widows are still looking forward to Yiqu's contribution."

This sentence said, so that Solin can't refuse, if he can't say it at this time, then it's really a coward, this position of the patriarch of Yiqu, let's change it quickly.

At this time, the Qiang Qi beside Solin also looked at Solin and said, "I said brother, Brother Wang is the time to employ people now, don't tell me, I came to Daqin to see you make a fool of yourself."

Qiang's agitation blew away Thorin's last hesitation, he stepped forward and said to Yingzheng: "The younger brother is not talented, thanks to the trust of the royal brother, if the royal brother has an order, the subordinate brother will definitely do his best to complete it."

"Haha, okay!" Ying Zheng laughed and said, "The widow ordered you to be the county guard of Longxi, the post of the assassin history, and the defender

, the commander-in-chief of all affairs in Longxi."

Thorin was stunned, and the Qiang next to him stabbed him, and he reacted, then fell to the ground, and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Minister, Solin, take the order!" From now on, he will definitely be a pillar of the Great Qin!"

Yingzheng asked Solin before whether he wanted to stay in Longxi or move to Northland County again, and at that time he already wanted Solin to be alone, and he also expected that Yu Tu would give this opportunity to Solin, so he brought up the matter in front of everyone.

And if Solin takes over Longxi, then Yiqu will be completely settled, and it will naturally provide great help to Liangzhou, and in the future, the caravans of trade will inevitably pass through here, so Longxi will definitely prosper in the future.

"Congratulations, good brother, for being able to take on this important task." Qiang congratulated beside him.

Yu Tu and all the elders also said in unison, "Congratulations to the patriarch."

Thorin smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Me

This county keeper is in name, and the actual governance depends on my grandfather and the elders."

"If I can help you, I'll do my best to help." The Great Elder said.

"yes, you just have to have faith in yourself." Yu Tu said, "Presumably, the king is also to cultivate you, so he asked you to lead the entire Longxi, and when the king uses troops in the future, you must come forward."

"Hehe, it's natural." Thorin said with a smile.

Ying Zheng looked at the Qiang Qiang next to Sorin, sighed lightly, and said, "It's a pity that the Qiang Qiang will definitely become the next Xiqiang King in the future, otherwise, the widow will also give you a chance to show your strength."

"Hehe, although I can't help Brother Wang with political affairs." Qiang Qi smiled and said, "But don't forget, Brother Wang, let's talk about it, brother, I will definitely help Brother Wang conquer the world, as long as this trade thing develops smoothly, Xiqiang will naturally be rich, and when the time comes, the Qiang army must be a sharp spear."

"Good!" Ying Zheng smiled, "Ambition!"

Immediately, Ying Zheng ordered someone to send Chen Li.

Chen Li came to the palace, and knew that the king of Qin returned to Longxi with his men and horses, and after paying homage, he heard that he would be sent to a new territory to assist Xu Wan in cultivating wasteland, so he was naturally surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

You must know that in Liangzhou, the positions of Xu Wan and Chen Li are not much different from those of the feudal officials, the only difference is that they are not given the title of marquis.

By the time everything was settled, it was already dark and it was drizzling outside.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to order a day of repairs, and wait for the rain to stop before hurrying.

Xu Wan and Suolin carried out a series of handovers, and the people who went to Liangzhou also began to mobilize.

As soon as they heard that there were large areas of barren fields waiting to be cultivated, the people were very enthusiastic.

And Liangzhou must also become a pure land where no powerful people control the land, which also gives Yingzheng a space to experiment, an opportunity to try to change the feudal system.

Qiang told Ying Zheng that he wanted to stay in Longxi to help Solin stabilize the situation, and Ying Zheng readily agreed, and told the brothers that if there was anything, they must tell him, or go directly to Xianyang to find him.

After the rain, everything was arranged, and Yingzheng once again embarked on the way home, heading towards Xianyang.

In the team, there is a person who has always been silent and never deliberately inquired about anything, but he has kept Ying Zheng's words and deeds firmly in mind.

This man is the leader of the Devil's Hand, Thumb.

Along the way, he had been marching in the Qin army, and a glimmer of strange light would flash in those deep old eyes from time to time, as if he was always thinking about something.
