Prime Minister

Chapter 681 Set as Xizhou
The officials discussed the rewards, and the ministers needless to say, they must follow suit.

Now by the Jinming Pond, the atmosphere between the monarch and his subjects is completely different.

The spring rain in the afternoon was also very fun, and the pattering rain made people feel very comfortable.

In the middle of the speech, Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao jointly name Shangshu and offer Ping Xice!"

"Ping Xize?"

What is this when everyone hears it?
If it is said that Wang Shao has Ping Rongce in front, what is this Ping Xize?

The official thought a little, and his eyes showed determination. If it is said that the official just now was still a little at a loss, but now under the victory of Zhang Yue and Wang Shao, there is a hint of a hero in his words. confidence.

I can also do the things about Han Wu and Tang Zong.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Wang Shaomiao's Ping Rong policy has achieved some success. Will the Ping X policy go further?

"Come with me!"

After a few brief sentences, Wen Yanbo signaled Wu Chong to speak.

Zhang Yue, what Wang Shao said in Ping Xi Ce.

First conquer Muzheng, and then take Dong felt.The Tibetans were always afraid of subjugating the big clan, and Mu Zheng was a big clan in the Tibetan tribe. If Dong Zhan refused to accept it, he could establish Muzheng as the lord of Tubo, take advantage of this great victory, collect the states, and finally force the Tibetan tribe to surrender within the territory.

The official called out a good word from the bottom of his heart, and continued to listen at the same time.

Feng Jing objected: "Your Majesty, Xuanfu envoy Han Jiang spent 700 million yuan to pacify Xixia this time. Although he killed and wounded many Xia people, he did not get an inch of land, which greatly damaged the vitality of the dynasty. If Zhang Yue is ordered again, Wang Shao Continue to open the side, I don’t know how much money and food will be used?”

Wang Anshi said: "Wang Shao opened borders in Guwei before. He used the market exchange method and salt money to supply military supplies and appease the Tibetan tribe. The annual consumption of money and food was less than [-] guan. Even if he continued to open borders, he would spend [-] yuan a year. So what?"

The official said: "Don't say [-] guan, I will give him [-] guan too!"

Feng Jing said again: "However, if the Liao Kingdom invades Xixia again, what should we do?"

Wang Anshi said: "I used to be an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. Although the Liao Kingdom is large and vast, it has many disadvantages and restrains each other. What's more, Yelu Hongji, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, is a mediocre leader. Hunting, as long as we maintain peace with the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Lord will not dare to invade south."

The official nodded and signaled Wu Chong to continue.

Then Zhang Yue and Wang Shao made a statement to focus on Weiyuan, promote Sinicization, promote lectures, order the tribes to accept hostages, teach Chinese and customs, and then give officials based on their loyalty and obedience.

For the attached Fan tribes, the population, number of households, and land allocation must be checked, and the strong ones must be analyzed into several tribes.

At the same time, expand the scale of the Shiyi Division, and set up a branch office and a quality library in Guwei.

All the ministers heard that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao had just won a big victory, so they offered Pingxi policy, which shows that they are never satisfied with the achievements in front of them.

After Wu Chong finished talking about Ping Xice, he said: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite Yu Shenggu Weizhai to be a prefecture, and join Huizhou, Lanzhou, and Linzhou (Lintao) to set up a strategic appeasement department, and then select good ministers and generals to manage Xifan. It is a plan for a hundred years, and an achievement that is not easy in the world!"

Wu Chong's words raised the establishment of the Economic and Strategy Department to a certain height all of a sudden.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see who this is for.

The newly established Jinglue appeasement road means independent financial and personnel rights, and for frontier generals, there is more room for display.

The officials were very happy, and they agreed a hundred times from the bottom of their hearts, but they just said: "What Wu Qing said is reasonable, and I will report this matter to the Political Affairs Hall after careful discussion!"

"There are also rewards for meritorious officers and soldiers, and we will also discuss them together, report them to me quickly!"

……

In the Political Affairs Hall the next day, Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi and others were discussing about rewards and building roads.

It is the instinct of officials to figure out what they want.

The officials emphasized the rewards for meritorious officers and soldiers three times in a row in front of the imperial court, which is needless to mention.

As for the next priority, it is Wang Shao, Zhang Yueping's implementation of the West Policy, and the establishment of the Economic and Strategic Appeasement Department.

This is also a very big issue, and it is difficult to reach a consensus in a hurry, but the officials are very anxious and asked them to discuss it today.

After some discussions among the rulers, a preliminary consensus was reached, and they went to the Chongzheng Hall to report to the officials.

The official stayed up all night with excitement last night. Although he is a little tired now, he is still in good spirits.

The first is to set up roads. Wen Yanbo disagreed with Feng Jing when discussing this matter today.At the same time, doesn't it just mean that we have to open up a lot of roads?

If the conservatives do not agree, it will also arouse the vigilance of Xixia and Liao.

However, after Wu Chong's proposal of a Taohe appeasement department was opposed, he proposed to set up a border appeasement department on Qinfeng Road again, but Linfu Road Army Ma Siban was independent.

Linfu Road Army Masi is located in the south of Hetao, and has jurisdiction over the three states of Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Fengzhou, known as the three states outside Hetao.

Although Linfu Road Army Masi is under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road in name, it is not a road in fact.

The same is true of Wu Chong's plan. The soldiers and horses will not pass through Qinzhou, so that local officials will not be restrained by Qinfeng Road.Therefore, it was finally named Qinfeng Road Bianbian Appeasement Department.

Qin Fenglu hangs on the name, but in fact it has nothing to do with Qin Fenglu.

When the official heard it, he laughed and said: "Yes, we will do it according to this."

Wu Chong said again: "Since we want to use Guwei and Weiyuan to go through the northwest, then it is not appropriate to use the name of the village."

Feng Jingdao: "Before, Wang Shao repeatedly asked to set up the Tongyuan Army, so please let me set up the Tongyuan Army."

The officials nodded and upgraded Guweizhai to Tongyuan Army.At the same time, cutting out the Ningyuan Four Villages in Qinzhou and bringing them under the rule of the Tongyuan Army also strengthened the strength of the Pacify Division on the edge of Qinfeng Road.

The subsequent controversy was whether to use Tongwei Fort or the Tongyuan Army as the center to manage the northwest.

Shen Xiang and Wang Shao have been operating in the ancient Wei village for a long time, and here is the fundamental strategy, of course it is stable.However, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao advocated moving the base camp of Yanbian Appeasement Division on Qinfeng Road to Weiyuan Fort, which has not yet been built.

This is very risky.

But it is also very strategically determined. From Weiyuan Fort and across Mount Mabang is Didao.Didao is the way that Diren walks through scriptures.There is also Taoshui in the territory, which can lead to Hezhou, so it is also called Lintao.

From then on, you can go deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people, Qingtang City, the stronghold of Dong Zhan.

But Didao still has Mu Zheng entrenched here, which is very dangerous.

But the benefits are also obvious.Setting up the Yiyi government office at the forefront and the most dangerous place is a disguised form of "the emperor guarding the country".

Therefore, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao suggested that Weiyuan Fort directly skip the village, city, and army, and upgrade it to a state in one go, so as to manage the He, Tao, Min, Hui, and Lan states in the west.

As soon as the officials made a decision, they said: "That's it, let's set it as Xinzhou. As for the name of the state, you don't want to think of Minzhou or Taozhou. I think it will be Xizhou directly!"

Xizhou is the Xi who took the reign name Xining!

This move seemed quite meaningful.

At that time, all the officials said so, and no one could spoil his interest. The rulers immediately decided to change Lintao's name to Xizhou and temporarily govern Weiyuan.

A new fort named Qingping Fort was set up next to Weiyuan, and it was a corner with Weiyuan, and it was used as the base camp to advance slightly into Hehuang in the future.
