In the Pingzhangtai Conference Hall, a minister knelt down to Liu Jing for congratulations, "Congratulations to the prefect of the prefect for being promoted to the King of Han."

Everyone was excited and the lord was named King of Han and the Han Kingdom was established. This was the moment they had dreamed of, and it was finally realized. Xu Shu couldn't help but burst into tears. Since Chaisang's independence, for a full ten years, they have gradually expanded their territory from weak to strong, from two thousand soldiers to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and their territory has been ten thousand miles. Looking back on the weakness of guarding the small city alone back then, this earth-shaking change made Xu Shu feel very moved.

Liu Jing smiled at everyone and said, "Although he is the King of Han, I still hope that everyone will call me the governor of the state, so that it will be more friendly."

"No"

Dong He walked out and bowed, saying solemnly: "If you don't establish rules, you won't be able to make a square or round. Your Highness should not be used to call you casually. Your Highness respects his name, that is, respects us."

Sima Yi felt that Dong He was a little serious and did not understand Liu Jing's mood very much. He smiled and smoothed out: "Shangshu Dong said it well, we are going to be promoted, and His Highness said that the state governor is not enough. We can't be a group of state officials."

This sentence was very relaxed, and immediately relaxed the tense atmosphere in the lobby. Liu Jing also smiled and said, "Since everyone wants to be promoted, I have to avoid being difficult and be promoted to His Royal Highness of the King of Han first. However, Shangshu Dong said it very well. If we do not establish rules, we will not be able to make a square. Since we have established a country, we must have the momentum of a country. Our official positions must be promoted, our salaries must be increased, and our generals must become generals. These will gradually change."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing's smile disappeared, his expression became very serious, and he said loudly: "Cao Cao had established the Wei Kingdom last year, and his fiefdoms including the Central Plains of Hebei have actually undermined the court. However, as long as the central court is not destroyed, the Han Dynasty will still exist. Since we have also established the Han Kingdom, please work with me to work hard, based on the Han Kingdom, revitalize the Han Dynasty and recreate the glory of the Han Dynasty."

Everyone bowed together, "I am willing to devote all my efforts to the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty and die."

"Please go back to the government office. I want to talk to the ministers about the founding of the country. I believe there will be good news that everyone is looking forward to."

Everyone was looking forward to it and bowed out of the meeting hall. There were only five ministers and minister Yin Jing left in the lobby. At this time, Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled and said, "Please sit down, everyone."

Several ministers sat down, and Liu Jing said to everyone: "I believe everyone knows that this time the title of King of Han is one of the compromise conditions reached by Cao Cao, and I also took the initiative to propose it. This is because we have captured Guanlong and already have the foundation for the founding of the country. As for official titles, they are actually small issues. Major issues are that we must consider moving the capital. This is the issue I want to discuss with you today."

Everyone looked at each other. It was indeed a bit sudden. They accepted the enthronement in the morning. Everyone was thinking about changing their official titles. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing was straightforward and talked to everyone about moving the capital. Needless to say, everyone understood that they must move the capital to Chang'an. Even Sima Yi, who had always known Liu Jing, was a little surprised.

At this time, Xu Shu bowed and said, "We can understand that Your Highness wants to move the capital to Chang'an, but I think it is not the time. The conditions are not mature within at least one or two years. First, the population of Guanzhong is declining and Chang'an is ruined, and we need to restore it with all our might. Second, Longyou is still unstable, the Qiang Di and the Xiongnu in the north have no intention of returning, which poses a great threat to Guanzhong. If you want to move the capital to Chang'an, you must first pacify the four barbarians, otherwise it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Guanlong."

Sima Yi also advised: "Have you forgotten Yang Qianwan, has Dihu and Cao Cao colluded and almost killed us in Qishan. Now we are not sent envoys to admit our mistakes and seek peace. It is obvious that we are not convinced by Liangzhou. There is no news yet. Although we have the name of Guanlong, we do not have Guanlong. I think we should take advantage of the opportunity of a ceasefire with Cao Cao, concentrate on sweeping Guanlong and creating conditions for moving the capital Chang'an."

"Everyone said it was right. I said I moved the capital to Chang'an and I would move the capital immediately. But we should start preparing. For example, all the refugees in Guanzhong in Hanzhong will be repatriated. I recently went to Jiangxia Copper Mine. I planned to release all the prisoners of war, but the condition was that they would settle in Guanzhong. This was to increase the population of Guanzhong. As for the copper mine staff, I could recruit barbarian miners to supplement it. One thousand yuan a month is higher than the income from being a soldier. There must be many people willing to do it. In addition, there are also many auxiliary refugees in Bashu, that is, Dongzhou soldiers. As long as we use the temptation of interests, I think many people are willing to move back to Guanzhong."

"Does your highness mean tax exemption?" Jiang Wan asked carefully. He was in charge of tax and was very sensitive to this area.

Liu Jing nodded, "It's not just tax exemption, but also land grants. I once talked about an old farmer from Guanzhong in Hanzhong. The reason why his family stayed in Hanzhong and refused to return to Guanzhong was for the benefit of half a dou of rice per mu. If we were exempted from taxes in Guanzhong for five years, I think not only the escaped people in Guanzhong had to fight back, but even Hebei and Central Plains would be willing to move to Guanzhong. Two years later, I believe that Guanzhong will definitely change a lot."

Liu Jing's ambition not only touched people from the north like Xu Shu and Sima Yi, but even Fei Guan, Dong and those who have been in Bashu for a long time were excited. At this time, Yin Jing stood up and said, "I fully support Your Highness's plan. It is better not to be late. I hope we can make a decision before the New Year and implement it with all our might after the New Year."

Everyone expressed their support, and even Jiang Wan, who felt that there was a little more tax exemption for five years, nodded in agreement. As for granting land, there were many landless land in Guanzhong, and it could be taken back and re-granted land. This government should implement it first.

At this time, Liu Jing resolutely said: "Since you support this, we will divide the work and cooperate. Pingzhangtai is responsible for restoring the population economy of Guanzhong. I will lead the army to pacify the four barbarians of Guanlong and create a safe environment for the capital to move."

...........

Liu Jing returned to the official room, and a guard stepped forward and said, "General Hu and two old men have been waiting for the provincial governor for a long time, saying that he is a member of the provincial governor."

Liu Jing then remembered that he wanted his tribe members to come to the General's Mansion to find him today, so he nodded and said, "Invite them in."

After a moment, Liu Hu walked in quickly with two old men. It was supposed to be Liu Xian who brought them here, but Liu Xian wanted to help Liu Zhixi to sacrifice, so Liu Hu brought them here. The two old men had already discussed that they must not put on elders in front of Liu Jing, and even the etiquette of the tribe members could not be ashamed. As soon as they entered the official room, the two knelt down and bowed, "Liu Fang, Liu Yi pays homage to His Highness the King of Han."

These two old men were both Liu Biao's clan brothers in the past and were close to each other. The reason why Liu Jing wanted to meet them at the general's mansion was because he did not want to show his junior tribute to these two people. When he saw these two kneeling down and calling him His Highness the King of Han, he was quite tactful. His disgust in his heart was slightly better, so he quickly helped them up and said with a smile: "Please get up, please get up, please, please."

He also ordered the guards to "prepare the soft mat"

The two guards put on soft mats, Liu Jing asked them to sit down, and Liu Hu also sat aside. The older Liu Fang smiled and said, "We are really happy to hear that Your Highness is named King of Han. Now, although there are still some princes in the royal family, most of them are famous and untrue. They do not control the country and country like Your Highness. This is the true fate. What is that shit puppet in Yedu?"

Liu Hu heard his vulgarity and exposing words, and couldn't help but cough heavily and glared at him fiercely. Only then did Liu Fang realize that he had lost his composure. He laughed awkwardly, "I mean"

Without waiting for him to continue, Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled, "I understand, no need to explain anymore, but I want to know what happened to Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai now, and how they are."

"Liu Cong is no longer saved. Children from Yedu know that he is a eunuch and have lost his reputation. They eat and drink all day long, as fat as a pig. Mrs. Cai has long ignored him. Don't you know that Mrs. Cai had remarried before the New Year."

Liu Jing was stunned. He really didn't know about this and asked quickly: "Who did you remarry?"

"Xiahou Yi, the governor of Changshan County, does Your Highness know this person?"

Liu Jing frowned, "It seems to be Xiahou Yuan's brother."

"It is this person, it is said that it was Cai Mao's thread. Xiahou Yi is as strong as a cow. How could Mrs. Cai's delicate body bone withstand his destruction?"

Liu Hu, next to him, coughed heavily again, interrupted him again, glared at him again with dissatisfaction. This old guy is sixty years old, why is he just talking nonsense? Liu Fang was so scared that he dared not say anything.

Liu Jing understood that Cai Mao used to want to marry his daughter to Xiahou Ba, but Cai Shaoyu refused. He had no choice but to marry his widowed sister to Xiahou Yi. In order to catch the big tree of Xiahou, he had good intentions and did not dare to remarry Mrs. Cai, so she could not be buried beside Liu Biao's tomb. This is not a bad thing.

Liu Jing didn't have time to chat with these two old men. When he saw them, he just expressed his opinion and comforted them. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Don't rush to move back for the time being. Staying in Yedu is also beneficial. If you interact more often with your uncle, I will ask my uncle to take care of you. If you have any difficulties, I will help you. When you leave, I will give each of you a generous gift, which is my little wish."

Liu Fang and Liu Yi were overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him again. Liu Jing was really tired of it, so he gave Liu Hu a wink and asked him to take the two of them away. Liu Hu invited the two of them out. Soon, he came back in a hurry, "Does the provincial governor look for me?"

Liu Jing nodded, "Sit down and I want to talk to you about the heavy armored infantry."

Liu Hu was refreshed, and this was the topic he was most interested in. Liu Jing walked to the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the wintersweet blooming in the snow outside the window, and asked for a moment of contemplation: "I want to expand the heavy armored infantry to 8,000, that is, add two thousand more. Can I practice it within two months?"

Liu Hu thought for a while and said, "There is no problem in training. The key is that equipment, heavy armor and sabers are time-consuming. Currently, I only have five more sets in my warehouse. It is probably unrealistic to create 1,000 sets within two months."

"I have considered that there are 1,000 sabers in stock, and there are 5 on the Eagle Strike Army. You can transfer them to the top and you will have knives. The key is heavy armor. I will organize thousands of craftsmen to build them day and night, and order them to create 1,55 slap within two months. Just train the two thousand new recruits for me."

"No problem, I use the cruelest training methods to ensure that they are qualified."

Speaking of this, Liu Hu asked carefully: "Is it going to attack Dihu?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Who said you are stupid? You are really out of sight. You are smarter than anyone else."

Since capturing Longxi, Qishan Road has become a busy business trip. Although it was the end of January, the ice and snow in Qishan Road had not melted yet, and the road was still extremely difficult to move. However, there were already impatient caravans who trekked on the snow-covered Qishan Road despite the difficulties and dangers, trafficked fur, medicinal materials and livestock from Longyou to Shuzhong, and then transported silk, porcelain and various daily necessities from Shuzhong to Longxi and Liangzhou.

At noon that day, a large caravan came on the north Qishan Road. In fact, there were not many people, only more than ten people. Instead, they trafficked thousands of war horses, which made it look huge. Carrying a double carp flag for a friend means that this is the caravan of the Dow Trading Company.

The Tao family is no longer an ordinary businessman, but has transformed into a military businessman. The so-called military businessman is a merchant who specializes in serving the Han army, including transporting supplies, handling profits, transporting prisoners of war, etc., with high profits.

In Jingzhou, the Tao family held a huge Yangtze River fleet, specializing in the transportation and trading of iron ore and grain, and actually served the military. For this reason, the Tao Sheng and Tao Li brothers both had official identities. Tao Sheng was named the marquis of the town and was given the title of censor.

Tao Li was named the Marquis of Ting and was appointed as the lieutenant. Although they were all empty positions, they were all real official identities. This caravan from Liangzhou was led by Tao Li. Tao Li went to Liangzhou to buy horses for the military in name, but in fact he went to carry out the secret mission assigned by Liu Jing and contacted the Qiang people to jointly attack Dihu.

The envoy of the Qiang King also went south with Tao Li. The envoy was a man over ten years old, Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Wei. He fled Chang'an with the Qiang King and was currently a staff member of the Qiang King. He was ordered by the Qiang King to meet Liu Jing and discuss the specific attack on the Dihu.

The team was in a hurry to rush, but at this moment, several Qiang cavalry guards rushed over and shouted, "There are a large group of unknown bandits behind us who are chasing me, leave quickly."

Taoli was shocked. Why did bandits appear on Qishan Road? Jiang Jie reacted quickly and immediately understood and said anxiously: "It's not a bandit, it must be the Di people who came to intercept us."

Taoli was suddenly anxious, and he said hurriedly: "This place is fifty miles away from the nearest valley of the upper house, how can we have time?"

"I have to escape if I don't have time, otherwise I will die here."

Jiang Jie urged the horse to escape, and Taoli hurriedly rushed to gallop. More than a dozen friends urged the war horses to run, and there were ten Qiang cavalry behind the palace.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came, and soon, a large number of chasing cavalry appeared in the distance, with several people speeding up. They killed ten behind Qiang cavalrymen and accelerated their pursuit.

These people were wearing thick black leather robes, leather hats, and bows, arrows and spears in their hands. They were dressed as the Qishan horse bandits in the past, but the Qishan horse bandits had long been wiped out by the Han army. This was actually the Dihu cavalry chased from Longxi, and their targets were Taoli and the Qiang King envoy Jiang Jie.
