Zhang Xiong, who had handed over [-] military power now, felt a lot more relaxed.

He was probably the first one to worry about having too many troops in his hands.

but.

This also officially confirmed that Zhang Xiong is indeed an official worthy of entrustment.

5 Chapter Twenty: Difficulties (1/5)

Out of Kucha.

Li Er and the others headed west all the way, and rushed back to Shuo Jincheng.

Originally, Li Er wanted to go back to Chang'an City directly.

However, the luggage of several people is still in Shining Golden City.

The most important thing is that Wu Jue is still waiting for them there.

along the way.

Li Er always had a smile on his face.

Everyone could tell that Li Er had gained a lot from this trip to the western border.

This joy is from the heart.

In fact, to Li Er, territory is a trivial matter, and what he cares most about is people.

It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to keep it.

If there is no reliable person, no matter how much territory you build, you will end up making wedding dresses for others.

After returning to Shimmering Golden City.

Ye Yongyuan heard that Qin Mu was going back to Chang'an.

Come to see me in a hurry.

These few days are too busy, and Qin Mu is not in the city.

Ye Yongyuan accumulated a lot of questions he wanted to ask.

After Qin Mu learned about it.

Instead of letting Ye Yongyuan come, he went to the prefect's mansion himself.

Shining Jincheng.

Prefect's House.

main hall.

Ye Yongyuan and a dozen Shuojin officials have been waiting here for a long time.

See Qin Mu enter the hall.

A group of officials stood up and saluted one after another, "See the son-in-law for humble posts."

These officials stationed in Shuojin City are all very particular.

Most of them are the fresh blood of the officials.

For commercial development, he has unique insights and is keen to promote the commercial development of Datang.

Especially after seeing the current Shining Golden City.

Their admiration for Qin Mu was even more difficult to hide.

Without Qin Mu's planning and support, how would there be the grand occasion of the three cities in Western Xinjiang today.

"You don't have to be too polite."

Qin Mu stepped into the hall leisurely, with a smile on his face.

The words fall.

Everyone sat in two rows in the hall, with Qin Muduan sitting at the top.

"Yongyuan, feel free to ask any questions, I will answer them for you today."

Qin Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said slowly.

Ye Yongyuan got up and bowed slightly, "It's the son-in-law. First of all, it's about the relationship between the Hu merchants. I heard that Yanqi and Qiuci have been merged into my Tang Dynasty. Are they merchants from other countries in the Western Regions?"

Ye Yongyuan went straight to the point without dragging his feet.

Qin Mu nodded, "I don't need to care about the relationship between the countries of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty. You only need to care about whether the person who comes to Shuojin City is a businessman. As for the identity and background, follow the previous rules. In Shuojin City, everyone is equal, and there is no privilege in business, even the Mangya Trading Company."

After listening to Qin Mu's words.

The officials in the hall took out their small books and recorded them carefully.

Qin Mu looked funny, this scene was like a meeting.

But as the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen to record things down.

is beneficial.

Followed by.

Ye Yongyuan continued: "Now as the main city of the three commercial cities in Western Xinjiang, Shining Golden City is developing much faster than we expected. The influx of merchants is too fast, and the main city has to start planning and expanding."

Mentioning this matter, Qin Mu frowned slightly.

Now the development of the three cities in Xijiang has deviated from what he expected.

Originally, they wanted to focus on Shining Jin City, and the other two commercial cities to keep pace.

But now it seems that the direction is a bit off.

The development speed of Shining Golden City has greatly exceeded expectations.

The development of the other two cities was far below their expectations.

Qin Mu also studied this situation.

Nothing else, mainly because of the name of the main city of Shuojin City.

They are all doing business, everyone wants to come to the main city, and thinks it has a better future for development.

This is indeed a problem.

Qin Mu shook his head, "Don't expand Shuojin City yet."

heard.

All the officials in the hall stopped writing and stared at Qin Mu blankly, not knowing why.

Now the development of Shuo Jincheng is booming, and the momentum is just right.

It's a good time to expand.

"My son-in-law, what...why is this?" Ye Yongyuan frowned, wondering.

Qin Mu glanced at the people in the hall, and said slowly: "For the expansion of Shuojin City, let's not mention the issue of money investment for the time being."

"If this momentum continues to develop, then the other two commercial cities will be overwhelmed by Shuojin City."

As he spoke, Qin Mu looked at Ye Yongyuan.

"Yongyuan, have you communicated with the prefects of the other two commercial cities, and have you learned about the development of the other two commercial cities?"

The words landed.

Ye Yongyuan's expression darkened in an instant, he looked at Qin Mu, and said apologetically, "My son-in-law... this... this humble minister really doesn't understand."

"It's dereliction of duty."

After hearing his words, Qin Mu was not angry either.

After all, growth always takes time.

With Ye Yongyuan's personality, it's good to let him know what the problem is, there is no need to criticize it.

Qin Mu shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "It's not your negligence. Shuo Jincheng has indeed had a lot of things recently. I don't think you people should have a good rest for a day."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered.

I feel gratified for Qin Mu's understanding and understanding.

It is the best comfort that one's own efforts can be recognized.

"However, Yongyuan, you have to know that the official's intention to let you serve as the prefect of Shuojin City, you have to consider not only the development of Shuojin City, but the overall development of the three cities in Western Xinjiang."

"What we want to see is that all the three cities in Xijiang will develop, instead of only one in Shuojin City. If this is the case, what is the point of our planning for the development of the three cities?"

Qin Mu looked at Ye Yongyuan and slowly explained.

Ye Yongyuan nodded hastily, "What the son-in-law taught me is that this matter is indeed ill-considered."

Qin Mu waved his hand, "I don't blame you for this, it's a matter of development planning. If you want to talk about responsibility, I am the most responsible."

The words fall.

Qin Mu stood up and walked around the hall.

This matter is really a bit tricky.

To keep the three commercial cities running side by side, Qin Mu also has his own selfish motives.

Not to mention how much money he invested.

There are many shops in those two commercial cities.

Qin Mu would definitely not do such a loss-making business.

If this method does not work, he will have to change his mind.

anyway.

The other two cities cannot collapse.

Mind this.

Qin Mu's brows twitched, he turned to look at Ye Yongyuan, and pondered: "Yongyuan, do you think it would be better if the three cities were divided according to the types of goods?"

heard.

Ye Yongyuan frowned slightly, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Qin Mu explained: "For example, Shuojin City focuses on jewelry business, while the other two cities focus on medicinal material business, spice business, or glass and colored glaze business."

After listening to Qin Mu's words.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

They had to admit that Qin Mu's method was indeed the best solution.

If so.

Business firms operating the same type of goods will be more concentrated and will more effectively promote the development of this type of business.

Simultaneously.

They also saw Qin Mu's talent in the business field.

Such a problem, after only thinking for a moment, found a reasonable solution.

But it also makes sense.

After all, the commercial development of Datang was promoted by Qin Mu by himself.
