Looking at Xue Ping, who was standing on the steps of the gate of the Protectorate's Mansion, he quickly turned over and dismounted, dusted the dust on his body, tidied up his messy clothes, and then rushed forward, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed to Xue Ping who was walking down the steps: "Young man, how dare you be an old senior so etiquette?"

Xue Ping laughed, but instead of using Qiao Tuoda to support the other party, he returned the favor with a flat manner: "The young man is so terrifying that the Chengdu guardian actually carted lightly and came to take office with only ten people. I admire this courage!"

The two of them stood up at the same time and smiled successfully: "This is due to the fact that the old senior has been well-managing the Western Regions over the years. Otherwise, I would definitely ask General Li to send an elite army to pick me up. General Li, how are you doing?"

Turning around to Li Rui standing beside Xue Ping, he successfully clasped his fists again to greet him.

Li Rui has been stationed in the Northeast for many years, but he met Success.

"It's better that I'm a turtle that has been in the deep mountains and forests of Basu for half a year, almost ruining me. This time I heard that you came to the Western Regions, so I rushed over. Chengdu Protector will rely more on you in the future." Li Rui reached out and shook hard with Chenggong.

Li Cunzhong resigned, and Li Rui temporarily took over the position of General Zuowu Guard as the General of the Central Army. With the orders of the imperial military committee, the entire Qinghai-Tibet and Western Regions were all assigned to the defense scope of the Fifth Army. It was a foregone conclusion that Li Rui took office as the supreme commander of the Fifth Army.

Also, because the Western Regions were facing the threat of the great cannibalism, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Group was located in Kucha, and later, it was Li Rui's permanent residence.

Success, in his early thirties.

Li Rui is only in his early thirties.

The two giants of the entire northwest, namely, one literary and one martial, are all too young.

"The Chengdu Protector's Light Vehicles are here, so I know that the Chengdu Protector does not like the show. Some officials originally proposed to set up a lively welcome ceremony, but I also asked me to reject it, so that they could do their own things and do their own duties. After the Chengdu Protector comes, they will naturally summon them one by one and meet them. The Chengdu Protector won't think I'm negligent, right?" Xue Ping said with a smile.

"What the old senior thinks is exactly what I think." Chenggong nodded repeatedly. There were many officials present, but they were all directly under the Protectorate Office. Important people from all over the Western Regions Protectorate Office did not show up. However, the scene was not as uncommon as Xue Ping said. There were still many luxuriously decorated people standing by the side with a smile on their faces. Seeing Chenggong's eyes swept over, they all clasped their fists as a tribute.

"Although I don't allow any show, I still came over with a keen sense of smell." Xue Ping pointed at the people with his fingers and said, "Everyone is full of slutty faces, and I can't do anything about it. However, Chengdu Protector came with a mission this time, and these people will definitely be able to use them in the future, so they will show their faces today."

"I also want to ask the senior to introduce it!" Successful face remained unchanged, and he still had a smile on his face.

With Xue Ping's introduction one by one, the identities of these people in front of him were revealed one by one. As expected, they were all big businessmen, from Xue, from Yuan, from Tongda Trading Company, etc.

Li Rui, who was on the side, was watching this scene playfully.

Xue Ping's trick is very clever.

This is telling Chenggong, the new Protector. Even if Xue Ping is leaving his post, he still responds to the Western Regions Protector, and is very strong. He said he would not allow officials from all over the country to come to greet him, and no one of the officials from all over the country showed up.

Although the person is leaving, the tea is still singing hot!

However, Success seems to be a glutinous rice dumpling, but the mainland is not a good person to mess with, otherwise he would not have been sent to this place.

As a military chief, he is not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, so he is happy to watch the fun.

After introducing one by one, Xue Ping waved his sleeves and said to those people: "I have seen you all. Next, I have important things to talk about with the Chengdu Protector and General Li, but you go first. At the evening reception banquet, you can pay a few cups to the Chengdu Protector!"

Everyone responded with a loud bang.

Success waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I'm so tired these days, I've been traveling a long distance. I met today, but I was spared first. When I handed over with Xue Dupu, I will combine the welcome banquet and the farewell banquet into one. Let's hold it together! Senior, what do you think?"

Xue Ping's face froze.

Li Rui almost laughed out loud, and quickly coughed a few times to hide it.

As expected, all the civil servants have a brilliant mind. Unlike warriors, they have disagreements and fists. In the end, the person who lost the fight lost his voice. Xue Ping showed his influence quietly, successfully leveraged the force, and in a blink of an eye he retaliated. By the way, he told everyone present that he is the new boss of the Western Regions.

Sure enough, although the people present were still smiling, their smiles were really a bit forced.

Xue Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, and in a blink of an eye he threw the embarrassment aside, saying, "Since that's the case, everyone will have to stay for a while. Let's do it today. Chengdu Protector, please."

"Please please first, senior! General Li!"

Xue Ping grabbed one with one hand and said, "Together, together!"

Fortunately, the gate of the Protectorate was spacious enough. The three of them walked in side by side and disappeared into the gate of the Protectorate. The officials of the Protectorate also scattered and went to do their own things. These people were also very sensible. Although they met for the first time, although the New Protector looked young, there were no simple characters who could sit in this position? Especially the New Protector, I heard that there was no backstage, and they were also figures under the old pseudo-Qi King. It would be even more difficult to sit in the position of a magistrate in the Tang Dynasty in a short time.

I am afraid that the new guru will be more difficult to serve than the old guru.

Not to mention these people’s messy thoughts, Xue Ping, Success, and Li Rui went straight to Xue Ping’s general manager among the three big bosses.

"Is the Governor Wang still healthy?" Xue Ping asked after the guest and the host and the guest sat down.

The Governor Wang in his mouth was the Governor Wang Wenshu of Liaoning. He was in his fifties. In this era, he was indeed old. Especially Wang Wenshu was born as a military general. In the battle of Zhenzhou, this person was injured dozens of times and was almost dead. He was raising him for several years before he could recover.

"Fortunately, whenever the weather changes, my body is sore." Successfully smiled and said: "The climate in Liaoning is also very unfavorable to the body of the King of the King. The King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the

Xue Ping nodded: "His body is indeed a little more relaxed. Chengdu Protector, I have not done anything else in the Western Regions over the years. The only thing I am proud of is that it is basically peaceful."

"There is no great achievement in the protection of Xue Dudu. Cheng can deeply understand the difficulty of making this place peaceful." Cheng said sincerely.

The Western Regions are not like those in the Central Plains. The ethnic composition here is complex and has been in war for many years. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have come and gone, and they are chaotic. There are also erosions of the cannibalism in the middle. Various forces are mixed, and the governance difficulty is even more difficult than that in the Northeast. Xue Ping can govern it to what he is now, which is indeed beyond ordinary people.

"The contradiction was suppressed." Xue Ping shook his head and said, "It was suppressed rather than really solved. If the root problems are not solved, there will be chaos here sooner or later. This is also the reason why the Supreme Committee transferred you over. It is indeed not my strength to boost the economy. Chengdu Guardian has proved himself whether he was in Ji'an or later in Liaoning. Governor Wang should be comfortable in Liaoning. Once you leave, he may scratch his head."

"Di Wang was in Yizhou back then, but he also accumulated considerable governance experience." Success said modestly.

Xue Ping said: "Your Majesty always hits the nail on the head when looking at problems. If you want to completely solve the problems in the Western Regions, in addition to naturalization, assimilation, and powerful force, it is the fundamental way to make the people here rich. If you have extra wealth, joy and peace, you will naturally be peaceful in the world. It is precisely because of this reason that I allow these big merchants to meet you today. I also want to match you and lay a foundation for the future economy and people's livelihood."

"The old senior has a good intention, Cheng is understanding it."

"Although the Western Regions are peaceful, I feel ashamed to put them away. The fiscal revenue is far from the expenses. Every year, the imperial court needs to allocate a large amount of funds. Most of this money is used to maintain the current situation, and sometimes we have to rely on these wealthy businessmen." Xue Ping shook his head and said, "If it were in the past, there would naturally be too much money to get money from them, but now it is different from the past. If I really dare to do this, I am afraid that the imperial court will not tolerate it. This is contrary to the entire major policy of the court."

"Of course." Success nodded repeatedly: "Now our country taxes in the Tang Dynasty are mostly commercial taxes. This is because His Majesty compassionate with the difficulties of farmers and intends to reduce the burden for them, but it also greatly increases the reliance of the state's finance on commercial taxes. Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of merchants, that is, protecting the country's fiscal revenue and killing chickens to get eggs, is absolutely impossible to do."

"It's exactly this!" Xue Ping said: "Chengdu Protector is well aware of this, but I'm a little extravagant."

"No, no, no, the old senior is grateful for his success. Although the old senior is relieved, Cheng will not change his course even if he doesn't know how to change his course."
