Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Visiting Hexi

On this day, Li Yan left 2 people to stay with him in Xiang County, and then asked the deputy general to lead 3 people to Nanhai County to join Peng Yue.

Ten days later, [-] soldiers from Xiang County rushed to Nanhai County, and Xiao He just followed Fusu's order and rushed to Nanhai County to take over as the governor of Nanhai County.

After handing over the government affairs of Nanhai County with Xiao He, Peng Yue left another 1 troops for Xiao He, and finally led the remaining 7 people to leave the territory of Nanyue and go straight to Changsha County in Jiangdong to assist Wang Li and Yingbu in taking back Changsha County.

Since Peng Yue had led his army to leave South Vietnam and entered Jiangdong, and the laws and regulations of the Great Qin Dynasty had been implemented in various parts of South Vietnam, and various government affairs were on the right track, Fusu shifted his focus to boosting national power. Fusu first decided to lead the court Half of the civil and military patrols in the Hexi area to speed up the construction of the Hexi area.

When the scouts from Xianyang sent the news that Fusu was going to lead a group of civilians and soldiers to patrol Hexi to the Protectorate of Hexi, Shu Suntong was very excited for a moment.

It has been more than a year since I came to this land of Hexi, and the number of people who fled from Jiangdong and other places to settle in Hexi has also increased from 20 at the beginning to 32 today, and there are still people coming to seek refuge one after another.

As for arable land, on the eve of Meng Tian leading the army to go south, 300 million mu of new land was reclaimed on the basis of 120 million mu. The entire Hexi land has 420 million mu of land. Last year, due to the rush of time, only 110 million mu of good land was planted. After the new year, almost all of the 420 million mu of land has been planted with grain.

It stands to reason that 30 people were allocated 190 million mu of arable land, and there were still 230 million mu of uncultivated land, but Shu Suntong issued a new decree to lease the 230 million mu of uncultivated land to the common people. The grain seeds are provided by the Hexi Protectorate, and the people only need to claim them. The state only collects [-]% of the income of an acre of land, and [-]% belongs to the people. If they bring their own cattle, the state only collects half, and the rest of the harvest goes to the people. all.

After the common people learned of this decree, they went to the county government one after another. Cowards and Lizheng accepted the rent and received the public leased land. On the grain.

One month later, Fusu led a group of civil and military personnel to Zhangye Ganzhou City, where the Zhangye County Government is located, and it is also the location of Shusuntong's Western Region Protectorate.

Since entering the land of Hexi, Fusu saw that the number of villages in the village has gradually increased, and it is more prosperous than when he conquered Touman. At that time, there were not many people in the entire Hexi. In the county, the base of a large-scale city has begun to show its scale, and the houses in the city are row upon row, showing a thriving scene.

When leaving Qinwei County and marching towards Zhangye, it was a different scene. Along the way, there were countless fertile fields interspersed among the villages. When Fusu led his army through here, there was no such scene. Obviously, these fields They are all newly reclaimed, and what is commendable is that there is not an acre of abandoned land along the way.

Along the way, those soldiers who fought with Fusu in this land of Hexi were filled with emotion and praised Shu Suntong for his talent in governing the border.

During this trip to Hexi, Fusu brought half of the officials of the DPRK and China with him. Another purpose was to let the officials see Shusuntong's contributions in Hexi clearly, so that he could transfer Shusuntong back to Xianyang. Presided over the change of the Great Qin regime to lay the foundation.

When Fusu and his party arrived at the foot of Ganzhou City in Zhangye, they were even more shocked by the scale of Ganzhou City. They saw a large-scale city foundation appearing in front of Fusu and all the civil and military personnel. There were tens of thousands of private houses in the city. Spread around the city, although there are tens of thousands of dwellings, they still only occupy a small part of the city. Obviously, after the completion of Ganzhou City, it can accommodate 80 million people, which is almost equivalent to half of Xianyang.

Looking at the large-scale Ganzhou city foundation in front of him, Fusu nodded in satisfaction.

The reason why Shusun Tong built Ganzhou City so grandly was completely in accordance with Fusu's request, because Fusu wanted to build this Hexi land into a commercial center facing the Western Regions in the Great Qin Dynasty, and Ganzhou City in Zhangye County It has become the largest business gathering center among the four counties in Hexi.

It stands to reason that in addition to Zhangye, the four counties in Hexi also have the land of Qinwei, Suzhou, and Dunhuang for Fusu to choose from, but Qinwei is closer to Qin than Zhangye. Chinese businessmen have to travel more than 600 miles.If the business center is located in Suzhou, it is too far away from Qin, and it is not conducive to the merchants of Qin. As for Dunhuang, it is even more unrealistic. business center.

After comparing the four counties in Hexi, only Zhangye County is the best choice.

The crowd was welcomed into Ganzhou City by Shusun Tong in a sound of shock, and placed in the posthouse. Since the Hexi Dufu Mansion and the Zhangye County Sheriff's Office were under construction, Shusun Tong could only place them In a posthouse.

After setting up other people, Fusu asked Uncle Suntong to take him on a tour of the city, so Shusuntong took Fusu around Ganzhou City under the protection of a group of guards.

"It seems that you, General Protector, are a man of your word," Fu Su said to Shusun Tong, looking at the situation in Ganzhou City.

"My lord, I don't understand what you said, please tell me clearly." Shu Suntong asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you say in the memorial that if the people don't live in new houses, you won't build government offices?"

"Oh, so that's what the young master said. I'm really ashamed. There are still some newcomers who don't have a new home for the time being."

After understanding what Fusu was referring to, Shu Suntong said with some embarrassment.

"You, the Protectorate General, have done a very good job. There have indeed been some changes in the land of Hexi during my journey. Just now, I was still thinking about how to reward you?"

"My lord, this is all the responsibility of the minister. I dare not take credit for it. I don't expect other rewards. I just hope that the son can give me some national policy support that is beneficial to merchants."

"Oh, tell me, what kind of national policy do you want?" Fusu looked at Shu Suntong and asked curiously.

"My lord, this land in the west of Hexi is adjacent to the countries of the Western Regions. If you want to attract businessmen from the Western Regions to do business in the land of Hexi, the first thing to do is to change their impression of our Great Qin, and combine those merchants from the Western Regions with our Great Qin. The people treat him equally."

"You can handle this matter according to your needs. What kind of national policy support do you want? After sorting it out, draw up a memorial and give it to me tomorrow. I'll read it." Fu Su told Shusun Tong.

"Young Master, there is one more thing. Merchants from various countries bring business supplies to our Daqin to do business. On the way, there are often sand bandits looting. This is also the main reason for hindering businessmen from various countries to do business with our Daqin. I have carefully considered it, but I have no idea. You Let's see how this is resolved."

After hearing what Shusun Tong said, Fusu began to seriously consider the matter of managing the Hexi land. Obviously, his own thoughts were taken for granted before. If he wants to make the Hexi land a commercial center of the Great Qin, he still needs to solve some thorny problems The problem.

Fusu lowered his head and fell into thinking, and began to re-examine and think about the matter of managing the land in Hexi, but he didn't know that this thinking actually found a thoroughfare for the development of Daqin's business.
