At the end of March of the fourth year of Chuping, the imperial edict that had been delayed for several months finally arrived at the garrisons of various princes.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu of Nanyang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and Yizhou and other princes successively received imperial edicts from the emperor. The imperial edicts were personally sent by important officials in the court to announce the edicts, and all the three dukes and nine ministers were dispatched to hold an imperial edict for the princes.

While he was granted the title of princes in the world, the former General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, Li Jue, was promoted again and was granted the title of Grand Sima by the emperor. He was above the Three Dukes, and was in charge of the prime minister and also the position of the Sili School, and assisted the regent of the country.

Since then, Li Jue reached the peak of power in the Han Dynasty a year earlier than history, and was extremely powerful and powerful. His status was even more respectful than Dong Zhuo at that time. When he entered the court, he added a ceremony, including axe and tiger. He did not go to the court, and his swords and shoes went to the hall, and praised him and worshipped him. The only difference from the situation where Dong Zhuo came to the hall in the past was that there was no Grand Master chair next to the Dragon Case, which was sold by Li Li before; otherwise, Li Jue was the second Dong Zhuo at this time.

No matter what attitude the princes from all sides were after receiving the imperial edicts, they were either happy or calm or furious, but these could not affect Li Li's current good mood.

Before the emperor issued the imperial edict, Li Li welcomed the biggest happy event in more than three years of rebirth. He couldn't stop talking all day long, laughing at everyone, and rewarded the guards, entourages, maids and yard servants in the palace. This was because he finally had a descendant. Li Xin and Dong Wan each gave birth to a son for him, and Chen Yu gave birth to a daughter. In this way, he had two sons and one daughter at a age of only twenty. Finally, he had his own mark in the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, and had someone to succeed him. Only then did he truly integrate into this society, have his own foundation and bloodline, and no longer a lonely soul reborn from another world.

After becoming a father again, Li Li himself changed greatly. He was diligent in government affairs, consolidated military power, vigorously cultivated his confidants, and tried his best to restore and develop the people's livelihood in Xiliang. He worked diligently and meticulously. In addition to handling military and political affairs all day long, he truly assumed the responsibility of being a husband and a father, and carefully cared for his wives, concubines and children, making the inner courtyard laugh and laugh all day long and happy.

Just when Li Jue of Chang'an was promoted to Grand Sima, he temporarily led the military advisor General Jia Xu, who was the prefect of Wuwei, and rushed to the governor of Jicheng with more than a hundred personal soldiers.

The Liangzhou Prefecture was originally located in Longxi, but now Li Li is also the governor of Liangzhou and lives in Jicheng, Hanyang County. So the governor's mansion was naturally transferred to Jicheng. Not only that, the General Wei Mansion temporarily resettled Jicheng, which was combined with the governor's mansion. He was in charge of the world's conquests and directly under the jurisdiction of all military and political affairs of the two prefectures of Xiliang.

In the garden of the back hall of the General's Mansion, Jia Xu was ordered to enter the inner courtyard of the mansion for the first time. He was quite flattered and his every move seemed extremely restrained.

Following the maid all the way to the garden pavilion. Jia Xu saw his lord Li Li squatting carefully between the two cradles, shaking the cradle with his hands gently. There was a knowing smile on his face.

Obviously, the child in the cradle was gradually falling asleep with the slight shaking.

Seeing this, Jia Xu waved his hand and signaled that the maid would not have to come forward to report. He stood straight away thirty steps away from the pavilion, quietly waiting for Li Li to take care of the child and then get up and come out to talk.

"Sir, I've been here. I've seen the military advisor." Just as Jia Xu was standing outside the pavilion waiting for the summons, Li Xin, Chen Yu, Dong Wan and other female relatives in the inner courtyard came together. Li Xin walked in the front and immediately said with a smile when she saw Jia Xu.

Naturally, Li Xin and other women did not have to salute Jia Xu and other subordinates. The reason why they nodded slightly was because of respect for Jia Xu. After all, he was an important official under Li Li, and he held an important position, and was trusted by Li Li, and he was quite old. He was now in his forties. Therefore, Li Xin and others took the initiative to salute him, which was indeed the tribute of the younger generation, which was reasonable.

"My subordinate Jia Xu has seen the eldest wife and all wives, so good for you ladies." Seeing Li Xin and others coming from behind, Jia Xu quickly turned around and bowed to salute.

Li Xin raised her hand to signal Jia Xu to get up and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be polite, I'm so ashamed of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused

Jia Xu said with gratitude and gratitude: "I'm sorry, Madam, I thank you all the wives. However, I don't have to worry about my subordinates. It's not too late to discuss after the lord takes care of the young master and the lady. "

"Wenhe has worked hard all the way, follow me to Xiting to serve tea!" Just as Jia Xu and Li Xin and others were talking, Li Li walked over lightly, his face full of smiles, but no laughter, and his voice was very low. He was obviously afraid of disturbing the child who had just fallen asleep not far away.

After bowing to Li Xin and others again, Jia Xu followed Li Li and walked to Xiting a hundred steps away.

After sitting down, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Congratulations to the lord for having a noble son, daughter! His subordinates were troubled by everything before and could not come to the young master in person. The lady has been full moon, but now she is late, so I would like to forgive her."

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed and said, "Wenhe should not talk like this. From the birth to the full month, I have not held a banquet for them to celebrate, nor have I notified the generals and civil and military officials of the various battalions to come. I just handled it briefly in the mansion so that Xin'er and the others would not blame me, that's all. A few days ago, Yuanzhong and Wenyou came to discuss the government affairs. It was not until they left that they learned that Xin'er and the others had given birth to children. They immediately sent congratulatory gifts, but they all refused.

Now all the prefectures and counties in Xiliang are waiting to be developed, and all the county and counties have heavy official duties, and all the matters need to be re-processed. Among them, the money and grain required in the entire Xiliang area is huge, and the existing money and grain are already stretched, so I can only struggle to maintain it. At this time of distress, as the commander of Xiliang, I should set an example. Since then, all the funerals of civil and military officials under my command will be kept simple, and they will not be handled in large quantities or consumed money and food. In addition, no valuable congratulations will be collected in the future. Afterwards, Wenhe will start to formulate relevant government orders and convey them to the officials of various counties and counties, and strictly enforce them strictly.

However, this matter is mainly aimed at civil and military officials at all levels under our command of Xiliang. People from all over the country and wealthy clans who have no one in their clans are not listed here. They are not restricted and do whatever they want. After all, they spend money to organize weddings and funerals themselves, so how can we interfere randomly!”

Jia Xu's expression changed slightly when he heard this and said respectfully: "My lord is wise, and his subordinates then organized the officials of the governor's office to formulate relevant laws and implement this matter as soon as possible!"

"Well. This order is only implemented in our Xiliang territory, and there is no need for the imperial court to issue edicts. Therefore, it can be issued to all counties and counties in the name of our General's Mansion." Li Li nodded and said.

Jia Xu responded respectfully: "Okay, I will accept the order!"

After agreeing to this matter, Li Li said with a gentle smile: "After pacifying the entire Xiliang area, after half a year of restoration and development, the agricultural affairs of all counties have improved. The population is increasing and the public is in good condition. The people can barely be fed and fed, and the military farming is being reclaimed. Seeing that the summer harvest is approaching, the soldiers of all counties and counties must ensure that the summer harvest is smoothly carried out. If necessary, the soldiers of the county government can help the people grab the grain and try their best to return the grain to the warehouse. The results of the people who have worked hard for more than half a year will not be damaged. If there is any violation of the order or those who are not in good condition, they will be severely punished and punished. If the circumstances are serious, beheaded and shown to the public to serve as a warning!"

After saying that, Li Li waved his hand and signaled that Jia Xu did not need to bow, but only needed to convey the order and follow the order. Then he took a sip of warm tea and asked softly: "I wonder if Wenhe still remembers that we discussed the establishment of Yongzhou last year?"

"Well, I have always kept this in my heart and never forgot it for a moment." Jia Xu nodded and responded.

Then he paused a little and continued, "Last year, my subordinates went to Chang'an to discuss this matter with General Li Jue. At that time, General Li Jue did not comment and seemed not keen on it. The lord also thought that the time was not yet ripe, so he put the matter on hold until now.

Liangzhou is narrow and long, stretching for more than a thousand miles, with a vast land sparsely populated land, and its land is barren. From the terrain, counties south of Wuwei County, Anding, Longxi, Jincheng, Hanyang and Beidi are the hinterland of Liangzhou. The terrain is relatively low, the land is relatively flat, and mostly hilly and dry land, which can be reclaimed and cultivated in large quantities. To the west of Wuwei County, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, the terrain is quite high, and most of them are mountainous and hilly, and there are not much land for cultivation. Moreover, the four western counties are located in the borders of the Western Regions, surrounded by barbarian tribes, and are surrounded by deserts, which are actually bitter and cold places, which are not conducive to farming, but are conducive to grazing, raising livestock, and raising war horses. In addition, the four western counties guard the throat roads entering and leaving the Western Regions, and merchants from the Western Regions exchange goods.

In view of this, the subordinates suggested that the four western counties west of Wuwei County be divided separately, mainly engaged in animal husbandry and trade in the Western Regions, and to open up the Western Regions business roads as soon as possible. At the same time, our Western Liang army must strengthen its control over the four western counties, eliminate the surrounding foreign bandits, subdue the Qiang people, Xiaoyuezhi and other tribes one by one, and move them to the hinterland of Liangzhou to disperse and resettle.

After the lord mentioned this matter last year, his subordinates had made many investigations and careful considerations before they came to this conclusion. If we want long-term peace and stability in Xiliang, we must firmly control the four western counties, resist foreign countries and stabilize the internal affairs, suppress many barbarian tribes, cultivate government affairs internally, and stabilize people's livelihood. In this way, as long as the four western counties are stable, our Xiliang army can eliminate the worries and launch troops to conquer the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains. This matter has been put on hold for half a year. Please make a decision!”

"Hahaha!" After listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Li laughed and said, "Wenhe is clear-minded, long-term, and he hits the word. I believe you have also heard that last month, Wuweiying, the Wuweiying, who was stationed in Longxi, the Longxiang Camp of Ma Chao, who was stationed in Jincheng, and Huan Fei, who was stationed in Zhangye, and the Feixiong Chongjia cavalry of Dong Yue, a total of 50,000 infantry and cavalry, a total of 50,000 infantry and cavalry, jointly conquered the Xihai Sea, defeated tens of thousands of Qiang people and barbarians, expelled Xiaoyuezhi, and recovered more than ten small cities around the Xihai Sea. Therefore, I want to divide Wuwei County, Zhangye County, and affiliated vassal states, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County and Xihai from Liangzhou, and become a separate state, named Yongzhou. I will be the governor of Yongzhou, and the governor of Liangzhou, and the prefecture is located in Wuwei County. I appointed you as a detachment of Yongzhou, and the prefect of Wuwei, and in charge of Yongzhou government affairs."
