Yan Liqiang's head was a little stunned for a moment. For others, the court gave him a county, which was a huge favor that fell from the sky. He must be happy and was too late to thank him, so he would not even think about it carefully. But for Yan Liqiang, facing such good things as pie falling from the sky, the first question that came to his mind was why did His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen have such great confidence in him and dare to make such heavy bets on him?

Giving the title of Qi Yun, the honor of a master craftsman, or even a title is not a big deal for the court, at least not a great thing. However, it is a big deal to separate Pingxi County from Ganzhou, renamed Qi Yun County to himself, and subscribed a county to the jurisdiction of Qi Yun Supervisor's Mansion. What kind of virtue can I be so respected by His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen learned about the assassination of Lin Qingtian in the Imperial Capital? This is a reward for his merits? But it is not right. The matter of his trip to the Imperial Capital is so secretive, and how can others know about his appearance? And Lin Qingtian is not dead now, what's going on?

"Liqiang, have you finished reading?" Liang Yijie, who took a sip of tea, spoke up while Yan Liqiang frowned and thought.

Yan Liqiang saw the expression on Liang Yijie's face and knew that Liang Yijie had already known the content of the letter, "Have Lord Sun and Brother Liang told me about the matter in the letter?"

"Before I came, Lord Sun had already told me!"

"I don't understand why your Majesty and Lord Sun can be assured to leave it to me for such a big thing!" Yan Liqiang took a deep breath and looked at Liang Yijie, "Brother Liang is not talking nonsense in front of me. I asked myself that although I have some small skills and have some foundation in Pingxi County, I will leave Pingxi County to me completely to confirm my real power as the former superintendent Qi Yun. I feel... I feel that your Majesty and Lord Sun seem to be too risky, and I am afraid I will not be able to take this important task!"

"Haha, if someone encounters such a good thing as getting promoted and getting rich, he will definitely be so excited that he is incoherent at this time. How could he refuse? Only Li Qiang, you are still considering this kind of thing at this time!"

Yan Liqiang said seriously, "Brother Liang, you should know that promotion and wealth are not that important to me. My current wealth can never be spent in ten lifetimes, and I have no other intentions. It's just that this matter is a heavy responsibility, which affects the lives of countless people around me. If I don't ask clearly, I can't sleep or eat!"

Liang Yijie smiled, "As expected, Lord Sun told me when he came, Li Qiang, you must be walking on thin ice when you encounter this, rather than being overjoyed. Perhaps because of this, Your Majesty and Your Majesty and Your Majesty are at ease to entrust this important task to you. In the eyes of Your Majesty and Your Majesty, the situation on the Gulang Grassland is the most suitable only if you deal with it..."

“Why?”

"You also know that the current situation of the imperial capital city is too late. The court is now unable to take care of itself and cannot take care of the affairs of the Gulang Grassland. Before, the Gulang Grassland was occupied by the Seven Shatu tribes. The civil and military officials of the court could still deceive themselves and still regard the Gulang Grassland as the territory of my Han Empire, and they were all buried in the heads. But now, the people of the Black Capricorn have rushed to the Gulang Grassland and fought with the Seven Shatu tribes. With such a big thing, the civil and military officials of the court naturally could not pretend to be blind. Moreover, in order to instigate the military forces of the Gulang Grassland, Lin Qingtian had already made Gulang Grassland a move to the Gulang Grassland.

The matters are exaggerated everywhere, creating a strong momentum, and the public is in a raging manner. Now that Your Majesty has regained the authority of the court, Lord Sun has entered the cabinet. If you completely ignore the affairs of the Gulang Grassland and let the Black Capricorn run rampant on the Gulang Grassland, how do you think the people will discuss Your Majesty and Lord? How can Your Majesty and Lord convince the public? For Your Majesty and Lord, this is also a dilemma. On the one hand, the court is temporarily unable to intervene, but on the other hand, he has to intervene. If you were Your Majesty and Lord, what would you do? "Liang Yi looked at Yan Liqiang with bright eyes.

Facing Liang Yijie's gaze, Yan Liqiang just frowned slightly. While thinking silently about the positions and ideas of the two analysts in the Imperial Capital, Liang Yijie continued to speak on his own.

"Actually, before I came to the northwest, Lord Sun had discussed various possibilities with His Majesty. In the current situation, if the court sent a capable official to the northwest to manage the Gulang Grassland, then the person had no foundation in the northwest. If he wanted to make a difference, he would inevitably mobilize many troops and spend countless money, causing the people on the northwest to fall over, and the relationship with the governors and county magistrates in the northwest was tense, and it might not be effective. In the end, the Gulang Grassland was not taken back, but the northwest was messed up. The court was already in chaos now. Neither His Majesty nor the adults wanted to get messed up again in the northwest. You should be able to understand this kind of courtship!"

Yan Liqiang nodded and pondered for a moment, "Well, it's true that Lord Sun and Your Majesty think so. The matter on the Gulang Grassland cannot be solved by sending a senior official to the northwest. If the Black Capricorn and the Seventh Tribes of Shatu were so easy to solve, the court wouldn't have to wait until now!"

"That's it. Like Lin Qingtian, the court sent a large army into the Gulang grassland and fought for the seven divisions of Shatu. Sending a senior official out of the country would be more harmful than good. If you send a peacemaker who is too capable to come to the northwest in the old age, you will not be able to make any storm. It's just a joke. Your Majesty and the Lord also thought about various possibilities before they found that under the current situation, the court reset the Qiyun Supervisor's Mansion, with Pingxi County as the foundation, and let Li Qiang you fulfill the position of Qiyun Supervisor's position, which is the best choice to advance or retreat!"

"Is that true?" Yan Liqiang rubbed his face with a wry smile.

"Liqiang, don't be humble. Liqiang, think about it carefully. You were originally the supervisor of Qi Yun appointed by the court. The Northwest Bandit Envoy was from Ganzhou. He was not an outsider. He was famous in the northwest and had a good reputation. He also had good friends with local officials and clans. It is easy to communicate with. He has a deep foundation in Pingxi County, and there are disciples in the bow and Taoist club. There are also the world's No. 1 factory and manufacturing bureau to make money every day. It is natural for you to establish this position at this moment. Think about it yourself. Can you find such a suitable person besides you?

"The governors of the northwest states are not lacking in strength and prestige. Some of them have money, like Riestong, can't it be?"

"Of course not. The governors of the northwest states were originally in the same position and power. Now, a governor was suddenly promoted and given high power. It is different from other governors. Other governors will inevitably be dissatisfied and easily cause internal friction. Moreover, this is incompatible with the court system and disrupts the rules of the court. If the governor has no achievements, it will be aborted. But if he really has achievements and recovers the Gulang grassland, wouldn't he be too big to raise a tiger? How could His Majesty and the Lord make such a fool of themselves? This is the case with the governor, and other county magistrates, and it cannot be used for this matter!"

"Why did I feel like I can't do this after hearing what Brother Liang said?"

"Hahaha, that's of course!" Liang Yijie laughed, "Besides, most of Pingxi County is almost Liqiang. Not to mention that you, Yan'an Castle, is Pingxi City. Even in the Imperial Capital, His Majesty and Lord Sun heard that after driving away the Shatu people gathered in the city, Liqiang, you are rich and powerful, and actually bought half of the land in Pingxi City in one breath to prepare for reconstruction. It's shocking..."

"Ah, your Majesty and the Lord know this?" Yan Liqiang was a little surprised.

"The court naturally has ears and ears in the local area. How could Your Majesty and Lord not know about the Shatu people in Pingxi City? Perhaps Your Majesty and Lord Sun thought, since Li Qiang, you already have such a force in Pingxi County, it would be better to give you the entire Pingxi County and let you make legitimate troubles with Shatu people and Heijie people. In this way, set up the Qiyun Supervisor Mansion, and the court will have an explanation for the internal situation. If you are the Qiyun Supervisor, you can keep the northwest undisturbed. This attitude of the court also intimidates the Black Mark and the Seven Shatu tribes. You can kill more than one kill, why not do it?"

Yan Liqiang was stunned, "That cutting Pingxi County from Ganzhou is to cut off the flesh on Riestong. Can Riestong agree?"

"If there is no suitable exchange conditions, Riestong certainly disagrees, but if the conditions are appropriate, Riestong will naturally not refuse. After all, although Riestong is the governor of Ganzhou, this Ganzhou is not his personal property, but his Majesty and the court!"

"What conditions did the court give Riestong?"

"The court exempted the five-year tax paid by Ganzhou. After five years, Ganzhou only needs to pay 80% of the tax paid, and the remaining 20% ​​can be intercepted by Ganzhou for self-use, and then increase by 2% year by year. In other words, only after fifteen years, Ganzhou needs to pay taxes normally. In addition, some of the three-in-one ground mountainous areas in the handover area of ​​Ganzhou and Lanzhou are all assigned to Ganzhou for jurisdiction!"

"The other governors have no objection?"
