The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 262 Beixiang wants to discuss border demarcation!
The second uncle doesn’t think that Wazhou City will one day have a population of 60 million. For a place where the current registered population is less than 60, just thinking about the population reaching [-] million is a bit too forward-thinking. !

"Uncle, the population of Wazhou City is only 60 to 30, but it is still conceivable to reach 20 to [-]. I estimate that it will take at least [-] years. In recent years, the population in Yungu has grown rapidly. You should know this.

With such rapid growth, in addition to the people migrating from the outside world, there are also many newborns in our territory every year.Moreover, more babies born in the past two years have survived than before.According to this trend, there will only be more and more newborns, and in 20 years, the new generation of babies will have children again. It is not difficult for our Yungu Army to have more than one million people under its current territory.Based on this, it is not nonsense that Wazhou can have a population of 30 million.As long as people grow up, they will grow very quickly. "

Faced with his second uncle's short-sightedness, Song Yingkui explained a few words.Wazhou City is the only place in the entire Xisu abandoned land that has the conditions to become a big city. No matter what it will develop into in 20 years, the foundation must be laid at the beginning of the city's construction.

"Let's not talk about the construction of Wazhou City. City Lord, you are currently stationed in Wazhou. It is inconvenient to communicate on many administrative matters. It is better to return to Taoyang as soon as possible. After all, Taoyang is the current center, and it will be convenient to handle all aspects of affairs. One point. One more thing, your wedding is scheduled for February 23, so you have to rush to Taoyang as soon as possible to prepare for the wedding!" The second uncle knew that his city-building philosophy was very different from that of his great-nephew, and he had no intention of arguing about it. Distinguish, just give reminders and do your duty.

"After I have packed up in the past few days, I will go back to Taoyang. By the way, Liangzhou is a long way away. After my uncle returned home, he started to arrange for the welcoming people to go to Liangzhou and pick him up first, lest the Gao family would say that we were not polite. Zhou." Speaking of which, Song Yingkui had to get married again recently, and it was a big wedding that the official married, so he couldn't do it too hastily.

Shortly after his second uncle returned to Taoyang, Song Yingkui also made arrangements and returned to Taoyang.After all, all the previous arrangements were carried out with Taoyang City as the administrative center, especially the convenience of the command and communication system that Wazhou does not have. Returning to Taoyang can indeed better control the overall situation.

On the trip back to Taoyang, Song Yingkui did not choose to take the Qian Castle Mountain Road, but took the Yuyuan Chengchuan Road.He wanted to see if the Sichuan Road Official Road, which had been abandoned for several years, could still be used, and at the same time, what was the current situation of the entire Yuhara River area?It’s good to have peace of mind.

The scale of Yuyuan River is actually wider than that of Wazhou River, but because of insufficient water resources, the conditions for developing agriculture are much worse than those of Wazhou.With rivers and no water, coupled with the impact of the war, it is much more difficult for this area to recover than in Wazhou.For the time being, we can only put it on hold until the population conditions improve.

Along Laoguan Road, all the way east, after arriving at Guanying Town, the scene in front of you became popular.

It only took six or seven years for the river to be built. It seemed like it was a world away, and it turned into a wilderness full of weeds, which made people sigh.

The situation in Guanying Town this year is not good, and it is far less prosperous than last year.The war last winter had to interrupt the mutual trade in Gongchang's market. Without the market trade, the business activities in Guanying Town would naturally be much deserted.On a normal market day, there are very few business travelers from out of town who come here to do business.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Xiang's trade envoy in Gongchang made a special trip from Huizhou to Guanying yesterday. I heard that Your Excellency was passing through the border today and insisted on being introduced to you by the official. I don't know how to reply?" I just arrived at the Guanying Town Guest House. After settling down, Jia Zhongpeng, the trade ambassador of Gongchang Quechang who retreated to the town, came to meet and talk.

"The trade envoy from the State of Xiang came to the official camp? What is the purpose of his visit? If it is just to reopen the business, then suppress it later! Although I, Yungu, have a need for good trade relations, it is not without reason. Temper. Last year, despite all the talk, they still unscrupulously launched the invasion of Hexi. When dealing with such a wolf country, it is better to be cautious!" Song Yingkui thought about reopening the market. Stretch the northern item and talk about it.Last year, Beixiang was so arrogant that not only did they fight the Battle of Hexi, they also fought several battles with Dazheng.As a result, Dazheng also closed its market and imposed economic sanctions on Beixiang.Therefore, what is anxious now is the northern branch, not the Yungu Army.

Although Yungu's trade has been somewhat affected by the closure of Gongchang's market, the trade in Hexi and Xifan has not been affected, and the scale of trade has increased a lot.In addition, the scale of business between Yungujun and Dazheng has also expanded. Generally speaking, the losses suffered at Gongchang Forex Market have been made up for through other channels!

"Xiang Shi said that the main purpose of his coming here this time was not to reopen negotiations. Instead, he came to discuss the border between the two families on behalf of their court. Xiang Guo wanted to clearly negotiate the boundary between the two families to avoid any gaps in the future."

Negotiated boundaries?This matter can be discussed.No matter what happens in the future, it is indeed necessary for the current Yungu Army to draw a clear boundary with Beixiang to create a relatively stable development environment.

It can be seen from Beixiang's desire to draw the boundary between the two families that they should have a better understanding of the strength of the Yungu Army and want to recognize the status of the Yungu Army in a disguised form. This can be considered a good thing.Song Yingkui replied: "Let Ambassador Xiang come to see me tomorrow! Listen to their thoughts on the matter of border demarcation."

On the next day, Xiang envoy came to the front hall of the official guest house and formally met with Song Yingkui to convey the Beixiang court's ideas on the formal demarcation of the two families.

The Beixiang court's demarcation proposal is more realistic: it is based on the actual control areas of the two families as the boundary. The south of Huizhou and Pingchuan Prefecture and the west of Longyou Prefecture are officially recognized as the governance area of ​​​​Yungu Army.The soldiers and civilians of Yungu cannot cross the border into the territory controlled by Beixiang, and the soldiers and civilians of Beixiang cannot cross the border.If two families cross the border, both parties are obliged to repatriate.

The so-called repatriation was actually because Beixiang was afraid that their people would flee to the Yungu Army and cause population loss.In recent years, there have been quite a few people who have fled to Yungu from Beixiang territory, and the total number may have exceeded [-].

In last year's battle, the Yungu Army further proved its strength. For the Central Plains people living in Beixiang, its appeal has greatly increased. There will definitely be more people who want to escape to live under the rule of the Yungu Army.

"Your envoy and I don't have much objection to the rough demarcation of the border between the two companies! As for Gongchang City, I think it's best to maintain the trade strategy previously agreed upon by both parties without making any changes. Also, I I will suggest that you and the Guining Army should also determine the boundaries of governance, so as to avoid the recurrence of last year's events and the two sides going to war again!"
