Li Hong looked at her strangely, and said with some doubts: "How do you know?" ”

"I smell it all, I'm afraid this should be a resale place for some rare goods such as soap and soap." Bai Chun reached out and touched the fabric on the cabinet, and continued to say confidently.

And the next facts are consistent with what Bai Chun guessed, but the shopkeeper first took out the glass products, and then saw that Li Hong was not satisfied, so he took out crystals and other jewelry, and finally took out soap and soap and other items.

"That's all?" Li Hong was a little dissatisfied, and thought that there would be perfume, so that he could buy a bottle for Bai Chun.

In the end, Li Hong, who didn't find anything here, could only leave helplessly, originally thinking that he could find some clues about Chang'an City here.

But think about it, if it's really the person who is secretly working against him, he shouldn't be so stupid and blatantly sell things on his own territory.

Quan Yi and others have already prepared a mansion for Li Hong, and the group only needs to "move in with their bags", and the mansion is not very much in line with Li Hong's appetite.

Brick by brick with new ideas, you can see at a glance that this mansion should have been built later, and the location was also built in a not very prosperous section of the road after the expansion of Shule City.

The officials of the entire Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate rushed to Shule City in the next few days.

As the Grand Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, before leaving Anxi, he must arrange everything properly.

Pei Xingjian, the original protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, has now gone to Tubo with his subordinate ministers Ma Zai, and Anxi is now relying on two young men as big as Li Hong and a few civil officials to support the scene.

Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan took the lead in rushing from Qiuzi to Shule, and Yang Jiong, Luo Binwang, and Lu Zhaolin also rushed over.

Even Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren, including Lou Yu, were also summoned by Li Hong.

Xue Rengui and Heiya Changzhi, including Wang Mingyuan and Yuan Shuji, naturally need to come over.

After many years of reform and governance by Li Hong, the four towns of Anxi have completely separated the civil administration from the military administration from the first day he came.

Just like when he suppressed Ashina Duzhi in Pei Xingjian, he was only responsible for logistics, and all military affairs such as leading troops to fight were completely handed over to Pei Xingjian.

With the continuous evolution of the future, it was not until Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan took over the civil affairs that Li Hong began to reach out to the military and politics, but in that waiting, he had completely given up the civil affairs.

Therefore, now, as the first pilot of the Tang Dynasty, the policy of preventing the emergence of such a party of princes has achieved great success, and in the past few years, nothing has been found wrong.

After combing the Anxi Protectorate for four years, under the suggestion of Yao Chong and others, it was decided to move the Protectorate from Qiuzi to Shule, as the first fortress of the Tang Dynasty, which can be attacked and defended, whether in commerce and military, it will bring greater development opportunities to the four towns of Anxi.

Because of its special geographical location, it is located in the middle of the two cities of Shaye and Khotan, guarding the main road from east to west, and it is naturally the first to bear the brunt as the capital protectorate.

And Qiuzi, as a major city guarding the north of Ashina Duzhi, was close to the Central Plains, although it was taken away from the capital, but Xue Rengui was still sent to guard it.

After some discussion, under Li Hong's order, it became that Yuan Shuji and Lu Zhao's two officials from the neighboring military area were in charge of Broken Leaves, and Heiya Changzhi and Luo Bin Wang were guarding Khotan City.

Qiuzi was co-ordinated by Xue Rengui and Huan Yanfan, and for the more important Shule City, it was jointly controlled by Quan Yi and the later generation of famous ministers, Yao Chong.

Everyone showed a completely understanding of the matter of Shule who was in charge of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate by Quan Yi.

After all, as a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is not something that Xue Rengui, Heizhi Changzhi and others can compare, not to mention, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take away the rights of these so-called foreign ministers because of this, but still believed in them as always.

Moreover, the four of them have to change their guards every year, and there is no such thing as who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reuses and who does not reuse.

Li Hong silently finished giving the order, his deep eyes swept over the cheeks of the generals, and he did not find a trace of unpleasantness on anyone's faces.

What he is most worried about is not who is loyal to him or not, but whether these generals will be unwilling because their rights are divided.

But now it seems that at least whether it is Xue Rengui or Heiya Changzhi, these two military generals who are well-known in the Anxi Army, have not shown the slightest dissatisfaction, which made him completely let go of the heart he was secretly menting.

As for Quan Yi and Yuan Shuji, the two of them are relatively young, and their qualifications in the army are not as good as the other two, so they naturally have nothing to say about such an appointment and alternative governance establishment.

But everyone is not stupid, and from Li Hong's personnel arrangement, they still perceive a hint of impotence.

That is the departure of Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai, is this planned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a long time ago?

Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai have been in charge of the Western Regions for many years, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first came, although he did not immediately seize the position of the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, after more than a year, Pei Xingjian automatically let Xian.

Until Li Hong later invaded Tibet, Pei Xingjian took the initiative to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to attack Tibet, and then was left in Tibet by His Royal Highness the Prince, was all this intentional by His Royal Highness the Prince?

Now without Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai, who are famous in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the four towns of Anxi, whether it is Xue Rengui or Heizhi Changzhi, do not have the reputation of Pei Xingjian.

In addition, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has divided his rights, this Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, after being operated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for four years, has now completely become his own territory!

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that after he returned to Chang'an, the imperial court would appoint a new Dadu Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but with the current eloquence of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that even if the imperial court sends a Dadu Protector, then the relationship between this person and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......?

Self-explanatory! This is a word that finally flashed in everyone's minds after secretly analyzing the situation of the Anxi Protectorate.

And they also know that the Anxi Protectorate is now impregnable in the true sense of the word, both externally and internally, it has been sorted out by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Even in terms of the power class, it has been consciously or unintentionally by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, through the efforts of Yao Chong and Huan Yanfan, who have been governed in a clear and strict manner.

At this time, the four major generals need to hand over the power in their hands to the deputy general, and then return to Chang'an with Li Hong to face the saint.

After all, the achievements of Ping Ashina Duzhi, Li Sha Kuo, as well as the attack on Tubo, and the rescue of the Persian Governor's Mansion for thousands of miles, whether in the Zhenguan era or the founding period of the Tang Dynasty, are all great achievements that are enough to be recorded in history and special books.

Wang Mingyuan, the Persian prince and his family, these days have been like a bun entering the city, their eyes are wide open except when they are sleeping, and they are looking around at the giant city of Shule.

The moment when he climbed to the top of the city and looked down, the legs of the Persian prince and his family were weak, not to mention falling from the city, even if they jumped consciously, I am afraid that they will be crippled if they do not die.

And on the wall of the city wall, there are spikes spit out, which looks like they were buried in it when the city wall was built.

The hard cement glued the huge and flat stones together, and the prince of Persia and the little prince were sweating and panting with hammers, and neither of the two stones that were stuck together were smashed by them.

Yao Chong, who accompanied the tour, proudly explained to them that the steel blades you see in the city wall, like these two stones, are glued into the cracks of the stones, even if you have a siege ladder as tall as the city wall.

Even if you can climb up unhindered, when you climb to a high place, you won't have a chance to attack the soldiers on the wall, because you have to be careful with the blades protruding from the cracks in the stones.

"If I have such a huge city in Sasania, and I have the confidence to keep them out of the city!" The face of the Persian prince was full of regret and envy, stroking the huge battlements on the head of the city, looking at the many weapons placed on the side of the city, and muttering: "The Tang Dynasty is too powerful, such a copper wall and iron wall, no one can take it, how much does it cost?" How much labor to hire? ”

Yao Chong smiled proudly, glanced at the somewhat sad expression of the Persian prince, and said lightly: "There are stones, as for labor, behind me Qiuzi and Broken Leaf are nomads like Tocharo in front, plus the other people of my Anxi Protectorate, in this place where materials are relatively scarce, as long as we transport a large amount of grain and other materials from the Central Plains, we can easily recruit hundreds of thousands or even three or four hundred thousand laborers, not to mention ...... The prisoners of war were not left there, did they just let them eat idle meals? ”

Speaking of this, Yao Chong couldn't help but think of Liang Xiaoren and Dadu Hu asking for labor, and in the end, Li Hong waved his pen, and the hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war from the Ashina Duzhi and Li Sha's prostrate department were all sent over to build the city wall.

As for transporting stones from the mountains, it reflects the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, which completely allows the people to quarry the stones themselves, and the Duhu government buys them at the price.

Just like some huge projects in the previous life, when these four cities were built, not only did they solve the painful problem of prisoners of war only eating but not working, but also improved the quality of life of the hard-working Anxi people by several percent because of the way they quarried and sold for money.

The huge expenses of the four towns of Anxi, instead of working the people and losing money, but because of the extremely delicate balance between supply and demand, the economy of the Anxi Protectorate was stimulated, and the people under the rule of the Anxi Protectorate suddenly became rich because of the construction of the four cities.
