On November 16, King Kaya of Oghuz Khan and Khwarizimo Aba Khan arrived in Xinjing to meet Zhao Ziliang, who received them at the Wangcheng Hot Spring Palace.
The two of them were led naked by the eunuch to the hot spring pool of the Hot Spring Palace.
Kaya and Anbahan were not used to being naked in front of outsiders.
"Meet the King" Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting in the hot spring pool, raised his hand and said, "Come on, come on, Ogus and Huarizimo are not short of water, but it is not easy to wash in the hot springs.
Let's wash together and talk to you about something." .
Zhao Ziliang's extremely strong body made both Anbahan and Kaya feel a little ashamed.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two of them lowered their heads and agreed.
They got into the hot spring pool lightly.
The temperature of the water was just right, a bit hot, but they could bear it.
It was This temperature is the most comfortable for soaking.
After the two of them entered the pool and let go, Zhao Ziliang asked: "The king asked you to inform you to come over to discuss matters.
It has only been half a month, how come you are here so quickly?"
The two of them said: "Your Majesty is calling me.
It must be something important.
Naturally, we didn't dare to delay, so we rushed here day and night."
Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is indeed something important to come to you this time.
It is a major matter related to Western Qin, Ogus and Khwarizm.
You all know that the Northern Silk Road passes through Ogus and Huacizimo, now all the roads in the Mengchi Protectorate of Western Qin have been completely destroyed.
It has been built as a cement road.
You have traveled there many times.
You should know how important this road is to business travelers.
It allows business travelers to travel quickly.
Even if it is windy, rainy, or snowy, business travelers can still pass quickly without missing a beat.
Over the years, the trade on this Silk Road has become extremely muddy.
The reason for the increasing number of brigades is that this road has been built, but there is no road in Oguz and Khwarizm.
Now we have begun to build roads in the Yayik Protectorate.
If Yayk is The road between Duhufu and Khazar Duhufu was built, and the entire northern Silk Road was Only Ogus and Khwarezm do not have a decent road in their territory.
After all, their reputation among outside businessmen is not good.
People think that Ogus and Khwarezm are too poor and have no money to build roads.
As the kings of two countries, you two will also be looked down upon."
Anyone in a high position is a face-saving person.
Neither Anbahan nor Kaya wanted to be laughed at.
Kaya cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaohan wants to build roads.
It doesn't matter if he takes some money, but no one in Xiaohan can do it."
Even if we don’t build, we can’t build roads as good as those in Western Qin.”
An Bahan also said: "Yes, how about asking the king to send people to build roads between our two countries and we pay for it?"
Zhao Ziliang said, "You can ask me to build a road for your two countries, but Western Qin doesn't need money.
If after the road is built, we can set up a card in your two countries to collect business taxes from business travelers.
You and I will each have half of the tax.
How about that?"
" An Bahan was a little reluctant and said: "Your Majesty's plan is too loud.
The roads are built in our country and we pay for it.
Your Majesty only contributes some manpower.
How can you take away half of the commercial tax?

This is too much."
How about 30% more?”
Zhao Ziliang looked at Kaya and asked: "Kaya Khan, what do you think?"
Kaya scratched his furry face and said: "If your Majesty didn't send people to build roads for us, we wouldn't be able to build such good roads ourselves.
Your Majesty not only contributed manpower, but also the skills to build roads.
This is something else."
It is something that no country has ever owned.
Although taking half of the commercial tax is a bit more, it makes sense.
Xiao Khan agrees, but Xiao Khan has an unmerciful request, and I hope your Majesty will agree to it."
"you say" Kaya said: "The little Khan wants to build a palace and wants to ask the king to send someone to help."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "This is easy to say, as long as you pay, then the matter is settled.
Dad, what about you?"
Seeing that Kaya Khan agreed, Anba Khan said, "Okay, but the little Khan also wants to build a palace.
Please send someone to help."
"no problem" For the next detailed road construction plan, the Government Affairs Council sent people to discuss with Kaya Khan and Aba Khan.
After the two parties communicated, construction began.
Western Qin encouraged industry and commerce, encouraged agriculture, built water conservancy projects, vigorously planted trees, and controlled sandstorms.
In the past year, the results have been quite remarkable.
There are more and more business travelers traveling between the east and the west.
Most of these business travelers like to stay in Western Qin.
If not I'm in a hurry, so I like to stay longer Heaven, just because the public security here is good, the business atmosphere is strong, and the types and quantities of goods are extremely rich, many businessmen from various countries like to buy houses and other industries in Western Qin.
This has greatly stimulated the economy of Western Qin and increased the tax revenue of Western Qin every year.
The geometric number is doubled.
The good economic situation has undoubtedly increased employment opportunities.
As long as you are not lazy, you can find a job in Western Qin.
Even so, the craftsmen and other workers in Western Qin have never been able to meet the growing needs of the industrial and commercial community.
During this period, a large number of people from the Central Plains migrated to fill this need in a very short period of time.
From the second half of the first year of Baoying to the second year of Baoying, a large number of Central Plains people continued to migrate to various places in the Western Qin Dynasty.
Although this added a lot of resettlement pressure to the government of the Western Qin Dynasty, at the same time, these Western Qin people were arranged after they moved here To areas with few Han people, it greatly strengthened the Western Qin royal court's rule over various places.
On the eighth day of March in the second year of Baoying, Zhao Ziliang summoned all ministers to inquire about the government.
"Liu Qing, how is the resettlement situation of immigrants from Central Plains?"
Liu Tiao stood up and answered with cupped hands: "Back to your Majesty, in the past five months, our people in Western Qin have resettled more than 5,607,200 people, a total of more than 1,603,400 people. households, some of these relocated people moved to Xindejisuduhu The other ones were moved to Kimak Protectorate, Yayik Protectorate and Khazar Protectorate.
At present, the relocation of people in the Central Plains is still going on.
Judging from the current relocation situation, it will probably not be until the end of this year.
There were about three million people who migrated here before.”
"Okay, the resettlement of the immigrants is going well.
The relevant officials in charge deserve commendation.
The migration will not go on forever, and the Central Plains will not let the people migrate endlessly.
At a certain point, the Central Plains court will naturally feel that the fields are lacking people to cultivate.
They will order the government to prohibit people from relocating, and your Government Affairs Council must also worry that the resettlement of immigrants will continue."
Liu Tiao cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Du Gujun, the chief eunuch of the Judiciary Temple, stood up and presented a memorial and said: "Your Majesty, after nearly half a year of revision, the legal provisions on determining the heir to the throne by law have been completed after careful consideration and many revisions.
In addition, we have Revised on the basis of the Code of the Tang Dynasty, some extremely cruel punishments were removed, and many criminal punishment regulations were refined.
The general revision situation has been written by Wei Chen, and there is also the newly revised Code of the Western Qin Dynasty. , please take a look at it, Your Majesty.”
A eunuch came over and took away the memorial and the revised version of the Western Qin Code and presented them to Zhao Ziliang.

After taking them, Zhao Ziliang put them on the imperial desk and said, "Okay, I will take a look at it before talking."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, Huangfu Xian, the acting commander of the Jinyi Guards, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
According to the establishment, the Jinyiwei should have one commander and two deputy commanders.
The commander is in charge of the overall situation and is in charge of the north office, in charge of investigation, investigation, arrest and interrogation; the left commander is in charge of the south office, in charge of prisons and special armed forces; the right commander is in charge of the internal guard, in charge of Counterespionage affairs in Western Qin.
Now the position of Jinyiwei commander is temporarily vacant.
Huangfu Xian was originally the left envoy in charge of Nanya, but recently Zhao Ziliang appointed Zhou Shan as the left envoy of Jinyiwei, in charge of Nanya.
Zhou Shan turned out to be an old man who followed Zhao Ziliang and had been serving as the governor of Suiye.
After Zhao Ziliang took charge of Beiting affairs, he was transferred to Beiting to assist Gong Ren in military discipline.
Huangfu Xian was promoted to be the acting commander.
This was not a formal position, but a transitional position.
He was temporarily responsible for the overall affairs of Jinyiwei.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Yes" "Your Majesty, someone recently reported in real name that Liu Cong, the son of Prime Minister Liu Xiang of the Government Affairs Council, was using his father's authority to buy and sell officials and sell military titles.
Because the identity of the person being reported is too high, the matter may involve Liu Cong.
Prime Minister, if the report was made anonymously, the minister would not dare to open a case for investigation at will.
After all, this is related to the honor and family tradition of an important minister of the country.
However, this matter was reported by a real name, and there were many evidences, which made the West Qin Jiangshan The ministers did not dare to neglect the government's plan, and immediately arranged for personnel to conduct a secret investigation.
Not only did they confirm that several of the whistleblower's evidences were true, but they also discovered Liu Cong's other criminal behaviors, such as robbing civilian girls, bullying and dominating the market, and secretly instigating servants and thugs to accumulate Killed three people and injured five people.
This is a detailed investigation record.
Please see it, your Majesty.
Due to the high status of the person under investigation, Wei Chen has not yet ordered his formal arrest for interrogation."
After Huangfu Xian said these words, the expressions of more than a dozen important ministers in the hall changed.
This can be said to be the first major case since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The person involved in the case is the son of the prime minister, the younger brother of the crown princess, and the future uncle of the country.
According to the practice of court meetings, before the king convenes ministers to inquire about politics or discuss military and political matters, if the ministers have important suggestions or important matters to report, they must communicate with the king individually in advance so that the king can be mentally prepared.
If the king thinks it is feasible, Then at the subsequent court meeting, the minister will raise it.
However, if the king thinks that the suggestion is too abrupt, inappropriate and not allowed to be mentioned, then the minister cannot raise it in public at the subsequent court meeting.
Although it is a common practice, it is not explicitly stipulated.
Therefore, some ministers will not follow the rules.
Especially when the political struggle is the most intense, some ministers do not communicate with the king in advance in order to achieve the purpose of surprise attack.
Mingming wanted to catch the opponent off guard, and at the same time force the king to deal with it in public.
The ministers did not know whether Huangfu Xian had reported this matter to Zhao Ziliang in advance, but if this matter was raised in public, then Zhao Ziliang would have to express his position in public here on how to deal with it, because if the evidence is conclusive, it would be obvious to postpone or delay the decision.
There will be a suspicion of favoritism.
Not only did all the ministers' expressions change, but Prime Minister Liu Tiao's expression also changed drastically.
He had no idea that such a thing had happened.
Huangfu Xian's sudden move made him completely confused and helpless.
Zhao Ziliang was also caught off guard by Huangfu Xian.
This matter was too big and involved the Prime Minister.
He was now riding a tiger and had no choice but to ask the eunuch on duty to bring over the investigation records
