    Ma Zhou said slowly: "My first request is that after your majesty withdrew from Liaodong Road, please send some troops to stay in Liaodong Road. Only in this way, once there is a rebellion in Liaodong Road and other uncontrolled things,  Only the ministers can quickly mobilize troops to put down the rebellion. After all, Liaodong Dao seems to be calm, but in fact there may be an undercurrent."

    "Your Majesty is here, Liaodong is stable."

    "After His Majesty leaves Liaodong, the calm situation may be broken. These secret people may not dare to make trouble on the surface, but they will definitely act secretly."

    Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "I need a certain amount of troops. Only by stationing troops can we ensure the long-term stability of Liaodong Dao and the sustainable development of Liaodong Dao."

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

    Ma Zhou said: "Secondly, I implore Your Majesty to send scholars from the Xia Kingdom to come to Liaodong Dao for training after returning to the country. To make the people of the entire Liaodong Dao return their hearts to Xia Guo, relying solely on the local officials of Liaodong Dao is definitely not enough.  Only with the participation of scholars from the Xia Kingdom, with the help of the influence of the scholars from the Xia Kingdom, can the local people join in."

    Du Qidao: "The second article is also approved. Arranging scholars to go to Liaodong is not only to sort out and manage the Liaodong Dao, but also to experience the scholars of the Xia Kingdom. The Liaodong Dao is different from other places in the country. Being an official or doing things in Liaodong Dao  You can experience yourself to a greater extent.¡±

    Ma Zhou quickly thanked him.

    Du Qidao: "There is no need to thank you, this is business, let me talk about the third point."

    Ma Zhou said again: "Thirdly, Your Majesty, please promulgate a decree that all Xia merchants who do business in Liaodong Road will pay 30% lower taxes than domestic ones. The 30% tax reduction is enough to make many businessmen gather in Liaodong Road. As long as the merchants come  Liaodong Road, after the road is completed, the merchants of Liaodong Road, especially many seafood, will naturally be sold. Only in this way can merchants be encouraged to gather in Liaodong Road, making Liaodong Road prosperous and prosperous."

    When Du Qi heard what Ma Zhou mentioned, he paused for a moment, thinking about it in his heart.

    It involves 30% of taxes, which is not a trivial matter.

    Today, the commercial system of the Xia Kingdom has become more and more prosperous. In fact, most of the Xia Kingdom's economy depends on business taxes.  Therefore, reducing the current 30% of taxes in Liaodong is likely to lead to more complicated situations.  If it is a short period of time, it will not affect much, but it will be different over a long period of time.

    Seeing that Du Qi was silent, Ma Zhou frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

    He can only wait.

    After a while, Du Qi said: "Ma Zhou, your request is still approved. But the time for reduction or exemption needs to be set for a period of time. Three years, I will give you three years. Within three years, businessmen who do business in Liaodong Road,  Tax cuts by 30%. After three years, return to normal, as much as you want."

    Ma Zhou let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

    Now with Du Qi's permission, although it is only three years, as long as Liaodong Road's business is on the right track, everything will be fine.  At that time, even if the normal taxation is restored, the impact will not be great.

    Du Qidao: "What about the fourth?"

    There was a look of solemnity on Ma Zhou's face, and he said: "Fourth, the minister needs the arbitrary power in Liaodong Dao. Liaodong Dao is different from the country. Liaodong Dao has just been attached to it, and it is a foreign country."

    "This is different from the old Tang Dynasty."

    "In the old Tang Dynasty, when they surrendered to His Majesty, they already had a sense of belonging. But it is different here in Liaodong Road. The people's recognition of Xia Guo is not enough, so after His Majesty leaves, the ministers may use thunderous means to govern the place and suppress it.  people who are going to rebel."

    "Once you want to suppress it, you will send troops."

    Ma Zhou said: "Even the minister's action must be extremely strict, but such a method is likely to require His Majesty's approval. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to give you the right to be arbitrary, and everything will be cut first and played later."

    When Shangguanyi heard Ma Zhou's words, his eyes sharpened, and he regained his composure immediately.  But he sighed inwardly, because although Ma Zhou's status was lower than his, he was bold enough.

    Actually want arbitrary power.

    He asked himself that if he stayed on Liaodong Road, it would be impossible to make such a suggestion.

    Guan Zhilan looked at Ma Zhou, with a look of admiration in his eyes. After he entered the cabinet, he had always treated Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou, and Laiji with the courtesy of his disciples. Now that he heard Ma Zhou's conditions, Guan Zhilan admired them.  This matter rests on him, he can't do this step, and he can't think as thoroughly as Ma Zhou.

    Du Qi nodded and said: "I'm sure, you are in Liaodong Road, you can kill first and then play."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Ma Zhou thanked him again, and then said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your high expectations. If you can't bring Liaodong Dao into order, you can'tLet the Liaodong Dao and government be harmonious, and the ministers vowed not to return to the court.  "

    Du Qidao: "I believe in you."

    The expression on Ma Zhou's face was still a little excited. Now that he has been released from the cabinet as an official, it is a test and even an opportunity for him to be able to guard one side alone, and even take charge of a remote area like Liaodong Road.

    Du Qi continued: "Ma Zhou, the army of Liaodong Road, I left the 30,000 people led by Cui Yongli, and then allowed Cui Yongli to expand the army to 60,000, and set up a sixth army alone. He led the army to sit in Liaodong and obey your arrangement.  , to assist you to sit in Liaodong. If the army is to be transferred, you can inform Cui Yongli to assist you, but the personnel arrangement of the army, the promotion of soldiers, belong to the imperial court, and are not under your jurisdiction."

    Ma Zhou said: "I will bear in mind your majesty's instruction."

    Du Qi said again: "The establishment of Liaodong Road, the following is the setting and adjustment of each state. I will give you half a month to delineate the states of Liaodong Road, and at the same time you adjust Liaodong Road. After half a month, I will leave  .¡±

    "I obey!"

    Ma Zhou was very grateful.

    Du Qi stays for another half a month, and his ruling in Liaodong will be more stable.

    Du Qi waved his hand and said: "Go, by the way, call Cui Yongli."

    "The minister resigns!"

    Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou and Guan Zhilan all responded.

    The three got up to leave, and after leaving the main hall, Shangguanyi asked Guan Zhilan to inform Cui Yongli, then Shangguanyi looked at Ma Zhou, and said with a smile: "Ma Zhou, congratulations. Now you are guarding one side and becoming the frontier of Xia Guo guarding one side  Congratulations, big official."

    Ma Zhou said: "The head of the cabinet is polite. In fact, it is a great blessing for the head of the cabinet to stay by your majesty's side. With the seniority of the cabinet head, when he is released as an official, he must be a great official in the center of the court.  .I¡¯m just a foreigner now, not surprising. I¡¯ve been in the cabinet all these years, thank you for your guidance.¡±

    Shangguanyi said: "You are polite, between you and me, there is no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, you and I are both members of the cabinet, so we should support you a lot. This is the case in the cabinet. Although they are in different positions now, they are on one side, but  We should also support each other.¡±

    Ma Zhoudao: "What the Chief of the Cabinet said is true. Those who are in the same cabinet should naturally support each other."

    The two chatted with each other, and after talking for a while, they left separately.

    After all, Ma Zhou has too many things to do next, and it didn't take long for Cui Yongli to enter the palace.

    Cui Yongli had heard the tone from Guan Zhilan before, so he was quite excited.  After seeing Du Qi, he cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Cui Yongli, pays homage to His Majesty."

    Du Qi nodded and said, "Sit!"

    Cui Yongli sat down after thanking him. At this time, Cui Yongli was quite nervous, sitting upright with a serious expression.

    Du Qidao: "Cui Yongli, how many years have you been in the army?"

    Cui Yongli said: "Eight years."

    Du Qi nodded and said: "Eight years is not too short. You are in the army now, and you are a general in the first army. When you came to Liaodong Road, in the battle of Goguryeo, you accurately ambushed the Fuyu Fan and the Jin Dynasty.  Spring and Autumn, prevent them from evacuating. You are also commanding well in the follow-up attacks to various places, and you are invincible in every attack, which is very good."

    Cui Yongli said: "It all depends on His Majesty's sage."

    Du Qidao: "It should be your credit, and it is your credit. There is no need to say anything about my sage. No matter how sage I am, you will be responsible at the front when marching and fighting."

    After a pause, Du Qi said: "Guan Zhilan has already told you that I want to arrange troops to guard Liaodong, and your army will be stationed in Liaodong, and your army will break away from Ma Yuan's army and form an independent Sixth Army. You will be the Sixth Army."  Commander."

    Cui Yongli said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

    Du Qidao: "When you were in Liaodong, you only took care of Liaodong's military and did not participate in government affairs. The promotion of your officers and men is entirely up to the imperial court and has nothing to do with the locality. In matters of Liaodong, you have full power to assist Ma Zhou, the governor of Liaodong Road."

    Cui Yongli was not an idiot, he immediately understood Du Qi's meaning, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not participate in government affairs while I am in Liaodong. Except for the need to mobilize the army, I will do my best to assist the general manager of the foreign horse, and the rest will be handled.  Ignore it."

    Du Qidao: "It's good that you understand, let's go down."

    "The minister will leave."

    Cui Yongli saluted, then turned and left.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
