Cao Xiu seemed very fair in the issue of distribution.

In principle, the greater the effort, the more losses, the more spoils are distributed. If the effort is small and the losses are small, the less spoils are distributed.

Of course, as the arbitrator, Cao Xiu promised again that he would not want anything, and the Wei Empire, as their sect leader, would not want anything.

Finally, under Cao Xiu's distribution, Xinlimi received the most.

Then there is Kucha, the front and back of the Cheshi, and then there are other countries.

The number of spoils was counted by Cao Xiu, and the number of people was accurate to single digits, such as the number of people, men, women, children, and elderly people, as well as the number of tents, the number of jerky meat, the number of gold, silver, pearls and jade, the number of other debris, etc., all of which were accurate to single digits.

Then Cao Xiu taught them a math class in front of them.

Cao Xiu used arithmetic skills they had never seen before to do some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, and then obtained the amount of spoils that each part should get.

Cao Xiu didn't know about this at first, but it was taught by Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo introduced numbers that are convenient to calculate, imparting the concept and meaning of 12345 to his subordinates, and imparting the symbols and algorithms of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

What is particularly important is that the 99 multiplication table was also taught by Guo Peng to the earliest group of planners.

This method was carried forward by Wang Can and taught to his subordinates, and developed and strengthened the team of accounting officials. Such mathematical calculation methods were widely taught in the army, and such calculation training methods were also taught in the Linzi Training Camp.

Over the past decade, this simple operation method has been widely used in many aspects, and in the army, this is obviously a very important skill.

As one of the relative generals personally educated by Guo Peng, Cao Xiu was naturally very proficient in mastering the four algorithms.

He only used a pen and a piece of paper to write some strange symbols that people could not understand about the words of the Western Regions.

Then I muttered something.

What are the carry and abdicate plus one minus one, and then a fairly accurate number is obtained.

"I calculated this number myself. I can guarantee it with my identity without any problem. Each of you countries will receive the spoils according to such an amount. I promise not to take the penny."

Cao Xiu had no problem using his identity and reputation guarantee.

People actually think that even if Cao Xiu wants to do something, they can't do anything.

But seeing Cao Xiu's open and honest look, he felt that it was nothing wrong.

The so-called "people are not worried about scarcity but are not equal. Although the total amount is not large, in this way, what each country gets is obtained by Cao Xiu through average calculations, and the countries have nothing to say about this.

So he stopped fighting and no longer had internal struggles, but chose to say goodbye to Cao Xiu with their spoils and withdraw his troops.

The war was over, and the civil war in Wusun came to an end.

In the first international incident in which the Wei Empire Western Regions Protectorate, Cao Xiu was the guru, participated in the first international incident, Cao Xiu completed his mission well, accomplished this matter, and maintained peace in the Western Regions.

This incident fully reflects the strong national strength of the Wei Empire and can interfere with the wars in the Western Regions.

Cao Xiu also had enough leadership to lead the military affairs of the Western Regions countries.

This is the best response for small countries that still have some doubts about the strength of the Wei Empire.

As a result, the Wei Empire's sovereignty over the Western Regions countries was finally confirmed and became unshakable.

Despite this, there are still some discordant voices inside.

For example, the Cheshi Master feels dissatisfied with the distribution of spoils between the front and rear parts. Both of them feel that they have taken less, and the other party takes more, and they feel that the other party takes advantage.

Xinlimi went back and counted what he had obtained and lost, and found that although he occupied a lot of pastures, both the population and livestock were reduced compared to before the war.

He was dissatisfied with this and felt that he had been blackmailed by the coalition forces of the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions. He felt that although they came to help, they were more like taking advantage of the situation and separated a large number of Atami's troops who could have belonged to him.

The other countries had nothing to say about Cao Xiu's distribution, and were quite satisfied with the Wei Empire's attitude of not taking any penny, but were very dissatisfied with other countries that were competing for the spoils with them.

It can be said that they are not satisfied with each other.

This battle is over, but the aftermath brought by the war has not yet ended, and is brewing and fermenting, waiting to erupt again at some point in the future.

"If it weren't for the Western Regions Avenue that had not been repaired and our food could not be transported, I really didn't want them to go back like this. It would be better if they fought all of them!"

On the way back to Qiancheng, Cao Xiu kept complaining to Ma Yuan and Zhao Yan.

"What a great opportunity. If our food and supplies can keep up, I don't have to worry about anything. I just let them fight and then kill them all in one go! Why do we need to do this Western Regions Protector who is fair to deal with things now!"

Cao Xiu was extremely upset with the fact that he was not allowed to pay for the money in order to maintain the transcendent situation of the Wei Empire.

He really wanted to turn into a wolf and compete with them.

Zhao Yan felt amused and laughed at this.

"Wen Lie, our goal has been achieved in this battle. It can even be said that it will exceed the task. The national strength of Wusun is cut in half, and it is impossible to recover in a short period of time. The biggest stumbling block in the Western Regions no longer exists.

The troops of the seven countries in Shanbei also suffered losses to varying degrees and could not reply in a short period of time. Our prestige has greatly increased. What will happen in the future will become quite simple. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? How good is this?"

Ma Yuan laughed.

"Cao Dupu felt that he had to maintain order in the Western Regions. He was very dissatisfied. If we could deal with the Western Regions now, we could directly let the troops of the seven countries in Shanbei fight and let the order in the Western Regions collapse, so that we can take advantage of the situation to rob.

But now that the Western Regions Avenue has not been repaired, the food and military cannot keep up. If we rashly make the Western Regions countries lose order, it will be unfavorable for me. For the time being, maintaining peace and maintaining the Silk Trade Road is important, so we have to do it."

Zhao Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Wen Lie, you should be more stable first. Don't be so anxious. The Western Regions Avenue needs to be built, but how much manpower and material resources are needed? Your Majesty doesn't know how many people he needs to relocate to fill the four counties in Hexi for this matter. It all takes time, so don't be anxious."

"I...I also know that it is difficult to build a road, and I just think it will take several years to wait for this."

Cao Xiu shook his head.

"This is also impossible. If we can build the Western Regions Avenue so quickly, the Western Regions will be really the state of our Wei State."

Zhao Yan actually hopes that this matter will become a reality as soon as possible.

The Western Regions were bitter and cold, far away from his hometown, and there were many things to do. The things he had to and from the Western Regions were very complicated, which made him almost no family leave.

He also misses his family and his hometown. If he can complete his mission as soon as possible, he can go home early, right?

Ma Yuan recalled the conversation with Cao Ren before arriving in the Western Regions and the construction site he saw.

"Now General Zixiao is stepping up road construction, which has given good conditions for the local people in Hexi, so some strong women and boys have also gone to the construction site to do business. Basically, they have used all the things they can use, and they are working day and night, wait, it's almost done."

Cao Xiu and Zhao Yan both sighed and nodded together.

They knew that this thing would be done and it was not far away, but the waiting process was indeed not so easy to survive.

After the first wave of population filling by Guo, the four counties in Hexi will reach 400,000.

On average, each county has a population of 100,000 and 20,000 households, which is not enough for large-capacity counties in the Central Plains, but also has a large area of ​​sparse population, so overall it is very unfavorable for development, and its development level is much behind that of developed prefectures and counties in the Central Plains.

According to reports from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they unanimously believe that the four counties in Hexi can carry more than one million people.

A population of one million can be almost quickly developed and built the four Hexi counties, so that the four Hexi counties can assume the important responsibility of connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

There are now 400,000, but it requires one million. Where should the population of this 600,000 be transferred from?

Where is the country short of population?

Mr. Guo did it himself and suddenly felt very powerless.

There are only a few well-preserved and populated states.

Jizhou is one, but Jizhou needs to support Bingzhou Youzhou and Pingzhou, especially Pingzhou.

Over the past decade, because Jizhou has a large population, Guo has continuously moved the population of Jizhou to Youzhou, filling the population of these two states that have been lost due to the war, and developing border areas.

Now that Pingzhou has been established, the entire territory of Pingzhou is as large as that of Pingzhou, and the population inherited from the Gongsun regime is only 300,000.

Even if there are more than 400,000 Gogurye, Sanhan and Fuyu people, the combined total of only 700,000 is more wide and sparsely populated than the four counties in Hexi. If it is developed, it will be more difficult.

In the long run, the population of Jizhou still needs to support Pingzhou to fill the population shortage of Pingzhou, so no matter how you look at it, the population of Jizhou is no longer able to support the four counties in Hexi.

Xuzhou is also a large population state. After the influence of Guo, Xuzhou was spared from being poisoned by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao and did not lose so much population. Although Xuzhou still faced a wave of turmoil after Tao Qian's death, the number of casualties was greatly reduced.

Then the population of Xuzhou was moved out by Guo, who filled Jiujiang, Lujiang County and Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

With the great victory in the Shanyue crusade in Yangzhou, Yangzhou was opened up a large number of land that could be developed by living people. Zhang Liao put forward several statements to Guo Peng that he had developed a lot of land that could be arranged.

Therefore, Xuzhou's population had to move southward in large numbers to support the development of Yangzhou, and was no longer able to support the four counties in Hexi.

Qingyan Prefectures are large-capacity prefectures and have relatively well-preserved populations, so Qingyan Prefectures made great efforts to restore and rebuild Yuzhou.

Later, when the population of Guanxi was restored, Qingyan and other prefectures were the main force.

In recent years, Qingyan and the two prefectures have moved out one after another to fill the population, and they are constantly migrating into Guanxi to fill the population.

So there is no extra population that can be filled in the four counties of Hexi.

So, Mr. Guo looked around the entire empire, but found that he could no longer draw more people to fill the population shortfall of the four Hexi counties in a short period of time.

This is a very helpless thing.

Where else can the population be moved?

Jingzhou?Yizhou?

They are representative of the vast land and sparsely populated areas, so they should stay in the local area to continue to develop the local area. The development of Jiangnan still requires their efforts, so Mr. Guo will not cause trouble for them.

Mr. Guo conducted a wave of census in the second and third year of Yande.

Then he came up with a population of 51.36 million, which is the number of people he can currently control, and he can squeeze taxes from these populations and thus operate the country.

However, Mr. Guo is also very clear that this number does not represent the actual population of the entire Wei Empire.

There are also a large number of people owned by powerful manors that are not included in this statistics. When counting the population, this part of the population will not be recorded.

Although they are alive, they have never appeared in the empire's household registration system.

According to Mr. Guo’s estimate, this part of the population will generally not be less than 10 million, but will only be more.

Never underestimate the ability of a powerful manor to hide its population.

They will only hide more, not less, and they will only plunder more, nor will they be less.
