Sima Yi finally left with Cao Rui's will, and before leaving, he staged a play of being suitable for the monarch and the minister. However, this Cao Wei version of the monarch and the minister are suitable, whether they have their own ghosts or what, it is unknown.

At least the friendship between these two foxes on the surface is not inferior to Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan.

After Sima Yi left, Cao Rui then issued an edict and convened a court meeting of his ministers. Subsequently, Cao Rui withstood the pressure of Cao Wei and his family, and appointed Sima Yi as the general to supervise the military in Guanzhong.

Not only that, Cao Rui also moved more than 100,000 Tuntian residents from the Guandong household to Guanzhong, and let Sima Yi be in charge of Guanzhong's defense. Since then, Cao Wei's military center of gravity has begun to tilt westward, making an attitude of not giving an inch to Western Shu.

As for Soochow...... Cao Rui and Sima Yi did not mention him at all in their discussions on the future situation.

Since the Battle of Chibi, the most ferocious battle in Eastern Wu was the Battle of Shiting. Even so, it was won when Cao Xiu's brain was in the water and he made a big mistake.

As for the attack, it is estimated that Dongwu will have to stop at Hefei City in his life.

Therefore, a military threat of the level of Soochow can be digested by the Huainan Theater itself, and it cannot be put on the table at all.

Under the mediation of Sima Yi, Cao Wei was transferred to Guanzhong with a large amount of manpower and material resources. Sima Yi personally went to Chang'an and began his transformation of Guanzhong.

At the same time that Sima Yi accepted the general and officially supervised Guanzhong, the personnel appointment and dismissal of Shu Han was also approved by Liu Chan.

Zhuge Liang is now a very human minister, and there is no seal, so Liu Chan took it upon himself to give the young Zhuge Zhan the title of Pavilion Marquis, and at the same time appointed Zhuge Liang as the pastor of Yongzhou, and the general leader of Yongliang's affairs.

Ma Yanguan was promoted to the general of the north, led the history of Liangzhou assassination, and supervised the military of Liangzhou. Chen Yi was appointed as the Taishou of Wuwei, and Li Mu was appointed as the Taishou of Jincheng, responsible for Tuntian, Liangzhou.

However, in addition to this, Liu Chan also gave Ma Tan the additional power to form the Western Regions Protectorate, that is, the power to govern the countries of the Western Regions.

After the Western Regions Coalition Army was defeated by Ma Tan Pingyang Hill, Cao Wei's Western Regions Governor's Mansion collapsed. After a short period of chaos, the countries of the Western Regions handed over the surrender table to Shu Han when Zhuge Liang occupied the entire territory of Liangzhou.

Brother Han, who of us is with whom, it was all a misunderstanding before, and our buddies in the Western Regions still recognize you as a big brother!

Now that the Western Regions have surrendered again, Shu Han naturally has to set up an institution to manage them. But because of the shortage of manpower now, Liu Chan was no one to send it, so he simply let Ma Tan be responsible.

After all, this is the prince's teacher, and if he is in charge, it is equivalent to the prince being in charge.

In addition, all the major meritorious generals have also been promoted to marquis. For example, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji and others are all named liehous, and the bounty is several catties.

Everything seems to be good, but Ma Tan is a little speechless because his title is still the Marquis of the Street Pavilion......

"Is Your Majesty so bad now? Is this the intention to tie up Ma Tan to death with the street pavilion? Back at the mansion, Ma Tan could only roll his eyes in the face of a series of rewards.

Although he doesn't care much about the title, why don't you change to a better-sounding pavilion? How can I embroider this street pavilion on the handsome flag and swagger through the market?

In the future, Wei Yan and Wu Yi were all "Zhenbei General Nanzheng Hou Wei" and "former General Jiyang Hou Wu", so he made a "Zhengbei General Ma" and watched the thieves disobey the peace.

However, after complaining and complaining, Ma Jian did not hesitate after accepting the canonization, and immediately took the team of the headquarters to take office.

Liangzhou, under the jurisdiction of seven counties, is located in the westernmost part of the entire Han Dynasty. Although it looks quite big from the map, in fact, the only ones that are really valuable are the two counties of Wuwei Jincheng.

Several other counties are not only poor in soil and sparsely populated, but also have poor roads. Except for Dunhuang County, which has the role of controlling the countries of the Western Regions, the other counties are dispensable.

Therefore, although Ma Tan is the governor of Liangzhou, it is actually the three counties of Wuwei, Jincheng and Dunhuang.

However, Zhuge Liang was still very kind to him, not only did the Hu cavalry he recruited not move, but all the Wei troops in Liangzhou who surrendered were handed over to him. So Ma Jian arrived at Wuwei to take office, counted the soldiers in his hand slightly, and suddenly found that there were 30,000 people.

"Holy! It's the first time I've been able to lead so many soldiers in a long time! Ma Jian was a little incredulous, knowing that it is every man's dream to lead thousands of troops and horses to scold Fang Xuan.

"See the envoy!" Chen You, Li Mu, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Yao Hu and other Ma Tan's team saluted Ma Jian together.

"Get up, I won't fix these false courtesies, let's get straight to the point." Ma Tan waved his hand to let everyone take their seats, and then said straight to the point.

"Your Majesty appointed me to supervise Liangzhou mainly for three things. Liangzhou Tuntian, the Western Regions Protectorate and the Qianghu people in the east. ”

"These three things are not easy, now let's take a look at the situation in Liangzhou first, and then make the next plan."

After listening to Ma Tan's words, Li Mu immediately stood up and reported to Ma Tan.

"Envoy, the household registration in Liangzhou has been checked, and the population loss is very serious. The combined population of Jincheng County and Wuwei County is only more than 200,000, and even if you count the hidden households, it will definitely not reach 300,000. ”

"The combined population of the other counties is less than 100,000, and the population of the entire Liangzhou at the moment is only 300,000. Among them, the population is not all Hermes-Epitek, and it is not so easy to find Tuntian. ”

"Although most of the local families have heard of the name of the envoy, they are willing to cooperate with our Tuntian. However, there are not many places suitable for cultivation in Liangzhou, and most of them are wastelands that are not suitable for tuntian. ”

Since Li Mu followed Ma Jian to Longxi County, he has been in that remote county for three years. Three years of experience as a county guard, as well as the experience of following Ma Tan to govern the local clans, made him very experienced in Tuntian.

So he followed Ma Tan to Liangzhou, and he checked the household registration and title deed for the first time. When Ma Tan asked, Li Mu could come with his mouth open, and he didn't need to prepare a manuscript at all.

After listening to Li Mu's series of reports, Ma Yan's brows furrowed suddenly.

"Liangzhou arable land is not enough to carry out tuntian? Count the family...... Oh no, counting the Borderlands? ”

"I've calculated, but it's not enough." Li Mu shook his head and said bluntly.

"If you simply need more than 100,000 yuan, the cultivated land you need is enough. However, if it is necessary to implement the military cantonment, the land in Wuwei Jincheng is still far from enough. ”

"And we don't have that many people, it's too inefficient to simply use Qiang people to settle fields."

The Qiang people in Liangzhou are different from the Qiang people in Longyou, most of them are nomadic and not good at farming. If you insist on cultivating with Qiang people, even if there are more than 100,000 tuntian, the income is not as good as tens of thousands of Hanmin tuntian.

And the most important thing is that Ma Tan not only needs more than 100,000 tuntian, but also needs to recruit troops to expand the army in Liangzhou.

No matter how you look at it, this is not an easy task.
