Li Hushu told Luo Sinan that after carefully reading Changsun Kangning's financial reform plan and the opinions expressed by several ministers on this discussion, he agreed with this financial reform strategy and asked Luo Sinan to try every means to complete the unification of currency this year, prevent the continued decline in tax revenue, and restore and develop industry and commerce as much as possible.

Reform proposals on the monetization of administrative expenses and official salaries in the government can be submitted to the Court Hall for deliberation, urge the Court Hall to come up with specific plans in advance, and invite all walks of life and states to join the discussion of the plan. In this way, after two or three years, China and Turkey are unified, the economic situation improves, and the fiscal revenue steadily increases, the court can implement it first in individual states to summarize experience and then promote it to all administrative regions.

As for the reform of monetization of land taxes and monetization of grains, it must be placed on the reform of the monetary system. After the reform of the administrative expenses and official salaries of the government office, the basic conditions for implementation are not met at present, so it is only limited to discussions within the meeting hall. It must be kept confidential for the time being and not to make any noise, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The most urgent thing is to do two things well, one is to ensure the cultivation of grain, the other is to ensure the safety of the Yellow River water system, and to do a good job in water conservancy and irrigation in major grain-producing areas. Farming and grain are the foundation of the country, especially at this moment, the world is divided into three parts, wars are frequent, and refugees are increasing. Ensuring that everyone can eat enough is the top priority of the country. When the people eat enough, the world will be stable.

In order to ensure that each grain of food is used by the country, the court should increase its supervision of land and grain, and strictly prohibit local government agencies and landlords and merchants from taking advantage of the chaos in the world to merge large amounts of land, maliciously hoard grain, and raise the prices of grain and other daily necessities. To this end, the court should play the role of the Federation Chamber of Commerce, use the wealth they have in hand, and work with the court to purchase grain to stabilize prices. For corrupt officials and illegal vendors, they should be severely punished and not lent when they should be killed.

Regarding the issue of paper money, Li Hu suggested that the court is still mainly supervised and should learn from the lessons of Cai Jing's forced interference in the military and cause bad consequences. Do not take back the power of the local government to control the issuance of paper money, nor do they interfere with the operation of the military and military and civil servants. In this regard, Li Hu believes that the Ministry of Revenue, the United Chamber of Commerce, local governments and local guilds should be handled through consultation.

Judging from past experience, the imperial court does not currently have the conditions to unify banknotes. That is to say, in the absence of unified currency in circulation, the Ministry of Revenue cannot formulate and issue banknotes based on iron coins to prevent repeating the failure of the Caijing banknote reform.

Due to the increasingly severe financial crisis, the pace of reform in the court was getting faster and faster, which forced the court to cooperate in military strategy and quickly accelerate the pace of unification. For this reason, Li Hu decided to continue to stay in the northwest, on the one hand, stabilize the situation in the northwest, and on the other hand, prepare for the south to suppress the rebellion and recover the southeast.

Li Hu told Luo Sinan that the Western Expedition was victorious and many were seized, and the farming and farming on Pingxia Road was also underway, so most of the military supplies in the Hexi war were resolved by the Northwest Three Routes themselves; the war in Daibei and Hedong was probably about to end soon. After the Jurchens learned that the Western Expedition was defeated, they would definitely stop attacking to formulate new national defense strategies and adjust their offensive and defensive deployments, so there should be no preparation for a large number of military supplies in this area for the time being; the Central Plains battlefield is the main battlefield of the Tiger Lieutenant Army this year. In order to expedition south as soon as possible, the Central Plains Tiger Lieutenant Army will attack Shandong and Jianghuai, so the court must concentrate its efforts to provide military supplies to the Central Plains battlefield.

In mid-February, Zhe Ke asked to escort the Dangxiang royal family, and the powerful returned to Chang'an, while Luo Qing and Han rushed to Datong to command the battlefields on the eastern front.

Li Hu rushed to Liangzhou, Hexi and visited the Hexi battlefield in person.

At the end of February, Li Hu arrived at Xiliang Prefecture. Yang Weizhong, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Zhengyan, Liu Ziyu and Hailasu and other generals left the city to greet each other. After some greetings, everyone returned to the city, and Yang Weizhong personally explained the situation in Hexi to Li Hu.

There are the Xiping Army in Guazhou and Gansu Army in Ganzhou. Now the Xiping Army is fighting against Caotou Tatars and Huangtou Uighurs in Shazhou, Guazhou, and the Gansu Army is fighting with some rebellious Hexi monks, and the situation is very chaotic.

"I guess the Dangxiang people in Hexi don't know yet that we have conquered Xingqing Prefecture." Yang Weizhong said, "If the Hexi war is to be resolved as soon as possible, we must take advantage of the Dangxiang people's ignorance of the battle situation in Helan Mountain and launch a quick attack. Otherwise, they are very likely to surrender to the Caotou Tatar and the Huangtou Uighurs. In this way, we will face more enemies and the Hexi battlefield will be in trouble."

"I was so worried that I rushed to Hexi in person." After Yang Weizhong finished speaking, Li Hu immediately continued, "I have ordered the Guishuai army to lead the army north to rush to Yan in Heishui Town. It is about 1,5600 miles from Helan Mountain to Yan in Heishui Town. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive in Baihai around the fifth day of the March. According to the news we received, there are about 20,000 Yan troops in Heishui Town in Baihai. I have made preparations and will first surrender. If the surrender fails, they will attack."

"From the Baihai along the Macheng River, galloping south of 900 miles to Suzhou. If the Guishou rushed to Suzhou and caught the Dangxiang people off guard, then we will be able to siege and kill the Gansu army in the Ganzhou area."

Yang Weizhong looked at the map, thought for a moment, and asked, "What should I do with Guazhou and Shazhou? The Gansu army was destroyed, and the Xiping army was desperate. It must turn to Tatars and Uighurs. Then the battle in Hexi will be tense next."

"We set up a formation in Suzhou based on favorable terrain, first blocking the Tatars, Uighurs and Dangxiang people." Li Hu said, "Then gather the army and use the absolute advantage of military strength to severely damage the foreign army and regain Yumen Pass. We defeated the Dangxiang people, captured Helan Mountain and Hexi, and were invincible. In this case, the Tatars and Uighurs dare to face us head-on? I'm afraid they don't have the courage?"

Li Hu is very confident, and the people of Northwest have just realized their dreams for decades and are also full of morale. No one thinks Li Hu is too arrogant.

"The most urgent task is to end the Hexi war, stabilize the northwest, and then invest the main force in the Central Plains and start the war of unification." Li Hu said solemnly, "So, don't try to solve all problems in one battle, but go in two steps, first get Ganzhou and Suzhou, and eliminate the remaining troops of the Dangxiang people to the greatest extent. Then wait until China and Turkey are unified, with sufficient financial resources and the northwest is completely stable, then march westward, enter the Western Regions, and expand the territory."

Time flies very quickly, and March is coming in a blink of an eye.

Luo Qinghan sent news from Daibei, and the Jurchens withdrew their troops. Then Luo Sinan sent news from Chang'an. As reinforcements arrived near Bianjing one after another, the war on the battlefield in the Central Plains also stopped. After the Jurchens and the Southeast rebels learned that the Tiger Lieutenant Army had won the great victory in the western expedition, they quickly withdrew their troops.

In early March, Yang Weizhong commanded the Hu Lie Nine, Thirty, Thirty-one, Thirty-two, and Thirty-three armies to advance towards Ganzhou to attract the Gansu army of the Dangxiang people and support Zhang Gao'er to enter the hinterland of Hexi.

Soon, Yang Keshi from Qin Feng Road led the 26th and 27th Army of Hu Lie to enter the Hexi battlefield.

In mid-March, the Tiger Lie Army launched an attack on the Dangxiang people with 70,000 troops. Renduo protected the country, and Ulan Xinlong led the main force of the Gansu army to defend Ganzhou to the death.

In March, Renduobaoguo suddenly received news that Suzhou was lost.

The deserter who returned from Suzhou told Renduo Baoguo that the Yan army in Heishui Town suddenly arrived in Suzhou. The defenders in the city were unprepared and opened the city gate. As a result, the army attacked and killed a lot after entering the city. Then the Huli Army came from outside the city, and the two armies met and easily captured Suzhou.

Renduobaoguo then realized that something happened in Helan Mountain and that Xingqing Prefecture might have been conquered by the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.

At the end of March, Zhang Gao'er and Liu Yanqing led the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Army of Hu Lie, Ayabu's Dangxiang Army, and the surrendered Yan Army of Heishui Town, and about 60,000 troops to the city of Ganzhou, where Ganzhou was surrounded.

Li Hu ordered to shoot in the book city and persuade Ren to surrender and protect the country more.

Ulan Xinlong left the city to negotiate and met with Li Hu and Zhao Wenya. Only then did he realize that Li Ganshun and Li Cha were both dead and that the country had died. It was meaningless to continue to resist.

Ulan Sinlong returned to the city and told Renduo Baoguo about the news. Renduo Baoguo was heartbroken and committed suicide that night, killing his country.

In early April, Ulan Xinlong surrendered with the Gansu army.

Li Hu rectified his troops, and appointed Yao Pingzhong and Hailasu as the selection, and directly killed Guazhou. He and Yang Weizhong led the main force to follow up. Yang Keshi and Zhao Wenya stayed in Gansu and Su area to recruit rebels and rebels.

The Han people in Middle-earth had not set foot on this land for more than two hundred years. When this huge army suddenly appeared in the vast Gobi Desert, not only the Dangxiang people were afraid, but even the Tatars and the Uighurs turned around and retreated directly from Yumen Pass.

In mid-April, the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army conquered Guazhou and then surrounded Shazhou.

Ulan Sinlong was ordered to surrender Angianxi. This Dangxiang army was isolated and had no help, and eventually had no way out and surrendered to the city.

In the late April, Yao Pingzhong led the Hu Lie vanguard army to Yumen Pass, and at this point, all Hexi was recovered.

Li Hu arrived at Yumen Pass, accompanied by Yang Weizhong, Yao Pingzhong, Wulan Xinlong, Ang Angxi and others, walked up to the city tower and looked out of the gate.

The Western Regions are ahead, and the territory of thousands of miles was once the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. When will the Han people in Central China hold it in their arms again? Li Hu sighed and turned around and said to Zhao Yanguang who was standing behind him: "Now Hexi is re-embedded in the territory of Middle China. Whether the Silk Road, which has been cut off for hundreds of years, can be opened again depends on your efforts."

Zhao Yanguang led a group of merchants to Helan Mountain day and night, and followed Li Hu westward to Qilian Mountain. The good situation in the northwest allowed them to see endless business opportunities and were all full of confidence.

"When will the Grand Marshal plan to march into the Western Regions?" Zhao Yanguang asked anxiously.
