Du Qi didn't care how Hu Youshan governed the Yanqi Kingdom. Because of matters related to supervision and discipline inspection, Jin Wuque is in charge. If there is no shortage of gold, the official administration of Yanqi Kingdom will naturally be rectified.
However, Du Qi paid attention to Hu Youshan's invitation of new salt merchants. At the beginning, Hu Youshan issued a notice inviting new salt merchants to enter, which aroused huge repercussions.
Many salt merchants heard the news and approached them on their own initiative, hoping to sell salt in Yanqi Prefecture. In the end, Hu Youshan chose two salt merchants and allowed him to sell salt in Yanqi Prefecture.
In this way, with competition and comparison, the salt price in Yanqi Prefecture gradually fell, and finally entered a relatively stable price. Today's salt price is at least half of the original Yanqi country's salt price.
The people are happy to see the results.
All the common people praised Hu Youshan highly. Because of the current price, it is much cheaper for common people to eat salt.
Du Qi also approved of this situation.
In particular, Hu Youshan actually stabilized Long Zhengyang's emotions while administering the administration, so that Long Zhengyang never resisted at all. Even Du Qi got the news that Long Zhengyang had a conflict with Zhang Zicheng because of this, in the end Zhang Zicheng didn't dare to say any more, so he honestly went to the crystal salt shop, and Hu Youshan's first administration came into effect smoothly.
The reform of Yanqi Prefecture also proceeded accordingly.
?Hu Youshan was very organized in his work, and his methods were as light as light, and the reform was a major event. However, after the final adjustment of personnel, all the officials were grateful to Hu Youshan, and there was no resistance at all.
So that the reform is carried out smoothly.
Entering the end of June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the development of Yanqi Prefecture has begun to speed up. Because of the addition of Du Qi's business, plus the exemption of taxes and the abolition of corvee, the people's life is getting better and better.
In addition, there are many fortifications.
Once things are progressing very well.
On June 28, the morning of this day was almost noon. The attendant entered the king's palace, saw Du Qi, and reported: "Your Highness, Yi Canjun has returned and is seeking an audience outside the palace."
Du Qi ordered: "Let him in."
"yes!"
The attendant immediately went to deliver the order.
Not long after, Yi Fusheng entered. After he entered the main hall and stood still, he knelt down like a gold mountain and a jade pillar, kowtowed to Du Qi and said: "Your Highness, I am incompetent and have failed Your Highness's trust. I have arrived in Kucha. He was imprisoned by the lord of Qiuci. Now that the lord of Qiuci learned that His Royal Highness defeated the Turks and won a great victory, the lord of Qiuci released the minister and let him return."
"I'm going to die!"
"Your Highness, please come down!"
At this time, Yi Fusheng looked ashamed. Because this time he went to Kucha as an envoy, he actually failed. After he went to the country of Kucha, the leader of the country of Kucha imprisoned him without saying a word. Until now, the Lord of Kucha knew that Du Qi had won the Yanqi Kingdom, so he let him come back. It can be said that his mission this time did not help Du Qi at all.
Seeing Yi Fusheng's appearance, Du Qi said: "As for the matter of going on an envoy, it doesn't mean that if you go on an envoy, you will surely succeed. It also doesn't mean that if you go on an envoy, you must succeed to be credited. Your mission to Kucha Kingdom, Although it is a failure, it is good to be able to come back. It is extremely dangerous for an envoy to go on an envoy. Get up, this king does not blame you."
When Yi Fusheng heard this, he felt even more ashamed, because he did not complete the task. He stood up, stood below and said: "Your Highness, I came back and brought back the words of the Lord of Kucha. However, I think his words are not credible."
Du Qi said, "What are you talking about?"
Yi Fusheng said sternly: "The Lord of Kucha said that he congratulates His Highness on his great victory. In order to congratulate His Highness, he asked his ministers to bring a lot of wealth and jewelry. In addition, the Lord of Qiuci also said that he is willing to be a minister to His Highness. pay tribute."
When Du Qi heard the words, he snorted coldly.
A stern look flashed across his eyes.
Pay tribute!
Du Qi doesn't need people to call him a minister and pay tribute. What he wants is to completely control the Kucha Kingdom, and what he wants is the submission of the entire Kucha Kingdom, not the Kucha Kingdom but also to stand on its own.
Yi Fusheng continued: "Your Highness, there are many people who are willing to surrender in the Kucha Kingdom. However, the leader of the Kucha Kingdom, Chi, vetoed it all by himself, which is why the humble officials were imprisoned at the beginning. As for now, there are also many people who are willing to surrender. People. Ke Chi was unwilling to surrender, so he chose to become a vassal and stand on his own."
Du Qidao: "Chi Ping chose to become a minister. He only asked you to bring back money and treasures, and then asked you to bring a message. Didn't any other envoys ever be sent?"
"yes!"
Yi Fusheng nodded and answered.
Du Qi sneered and said, "What Chi Ping did is really good.??Arrogance! The above table was called a minister, and even an envoy was never sent. Presumably, this claiming to be a minister is just for show, but in fact, he is worried that sending envoys will be easily beheaded by the king. "
Yi Fusheng said: "Your Highness is wise!"
Du Qidao: "Now that the Yanqi Kingdom has been pacified, the next step is the Kucha Kingdom."
Immediately, Du Qi arranged for someone to call Guo Xiaozheng and Jiang Changzong over, and said, "We have already captured the Yanqi Kingdom, and my king's plan is to attack the Kucha Kingdom. Do you have any suggestions?"
Jiang Changzong heard the words and said: "Your Highness, this time to attack the Kucha Kingdom, should the whole army go out to fight, or only a small number of people will be sent to fight against Kucha?"
Du Qi said: "This king is still in charge of the Yanqi Kingdom, and only sent an army to attack the Kucha Kingdom. After all, the Yanqi Kingdom has just surrendered, and everything is still unstable. The army suddenly left, and it is very likely that there will be fire in the rear. Yanqi Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom have a little Different, so for the time being, I will not leave for the time being."
After Jiang Changzong heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness is wise!"
What he was worried about was that Du Qi would go with him.
Du Qi left, and there was no one in Yanqi.
Very easy to go wrong.
Jiang Changzong continued: "Your Highness, since you are going to send troops to attack the country of Kucha, the humble official thinks that soldiers are valuable and fast, so you can send troops directly to attack the country of Kucha like lightning. This time, if you want to completely defeat the army of the country of Kucha, you must send troops quickly. In addition, the humble office recommends using grenades and gunpowder for a strong attack."
Du Qidao: "That's what it means."
Yi Fusheng said: "I once went to the country of Kucha, and I know the route. Although I have never made any meritorious service or persuaded Kucha to surrender when I went to Kucha as an envoy, I have written down the map along the way."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Guo Xiaozheng said again: "Your Highness, this lowly position believes that two generals Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan can be dispatched to fight. As for Yanqi Kingdom, it is enough to leave General Xiao Yuanqi behind."
Du Qidao: "Yes!"
After a pause, Du Qi said again: "This battle will be dominated by Xue Rengui, supplemented by Ma Yuan."
Guo Xiaozheng and Jiang Changzong also talked about the reforms that Yanqi Kingdom needs to carry out, and Du Qi approved them one by one. After everything was arranged, Yi Fusheng personally passed the order. After all, Yi Fusheng was going to follow the team.
Yi Fusheng entered the army and quickly conveyed Du Qi's order. Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan received the order. They mobilized a total of 10,000 troops to go, of which only 2,000 soldiers were cavalry.
This army quickly left the county seat and headed west. The distance from Yanqi State to Kucha State is not far. After marching for half a day, the army entered the territory of Qiucha State shortly after passing the iron gate to the west of Yanqi State, and headed straight for the capital of Qiucha State.
