As these investors with money and leisure rush towards Pingxia Road like crazy.
Naturally, restaurants, inns, trading companies and other industries in various counties on Pingxia Road have become more and more prosperous.
Even Fan Tower opened two branches on Pingxia Road in such a short period of time.
The entire Pingxia Road is really full of vitality. In the not too distant future, it will become the most important main production area of cotton crops and woolen fabrics in the Song Dynasty.
Gao Zhang didn't have to worry, because the people's livelihood here would be withered and all businesses would be stagnant because of his departure.
What's more, Kaifeng Metal Workshop, Duan's Trading Company and other industries can be regarded as his eyes and ears.
In addition, the large number of detectives from the Imperial City Division will not evacuate, but will penetrate deeper into all walks of life on Pingxia Road.
After all, the Dangxiang tribes and Tubo tribes are still wandering back and forth on this land, so it is naturally impossible to give them any chance.
Of course, this is just a precaution. After all, one hundred thousand soldiers of the Western Army have obtained a large amount of cultivated land on Pingxia Road.
Their families migrated here. For the sake of their families and for the sake of protecting their fields and private property from damage, the combat effectiveness and morale of these Western Army soldiers will be far greater than before.
Even though a large number of princes, nobles, and relatives are purchasing land here, there is still a large amount of land that has not been sold.
It's enough for the Song Dynasty to be rewarded after several more battles. In addition, all the salt lakes previously controlled by Xixia were now in the hands of the Song Dynasty.
These things are definitely a cornucopia for the Song Dynasty.
Fortunately, Gao Zhang requested the order immediately, and now Master Zhao Ji has sent officials to preside over it.
In addition to these, in terms of military affairs, there are also newly rising young generals who have fallen into Gao Zhang's sight.
In addition to Han Shizhong, Wang Shunchen and Zhe Keqiu, those who favored Gao Zhang were Wu Jie, Qu Duan and Zhang Jun.
It can be said that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty really produced many famous generals, and they all received corresponding rewards.
But now, Gao Zhang is about to leave Pingxia Road, so he naturally has to make arrangements.
The 50,000 elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army will be withdrawn to Bianliang, Tokyo. In addition, 20,000 elite soldiers will be selected from the Western Army to enter the capital.
When the 50,000 Forbidden Army and the 20,000 elite Western Army were mixed into the Forbidden Army in Tokyo, it would be easier to survive and eliminate the fittest, creating an elite Forbidden Army capable of conquering and fighting.
Han Shizhong, Zhe Keqiu and other seven or eight generals of the Western Army, Gao Zhang will take them away and let them go to Bianliang, Tokyo, to train the soldiers of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
It would be better to eliminate the fittest as soon as possible and create an elite force of the Forbidden Army.
And all of this was, of course, the result of a counter-plan with Zheng Juzhong, and he also petitioned the imperial court to get permission.

After driving slowly all the way, they finally arrived at the residence of the subjugated king Li Qianshun. Gao Zhang got off his horse. The imperial soldiers at the door had already opened the courtyard door to greet Gao Zhang and others.
When Gao Zhang entered the house, he saw Li Qianshun standing at the foot of the steps outside the house, looking over here.
After seeing his arrival, he reluctantly forced out a smile and bowed humbly to salute.
Entering the house, Gao Zhang looked at the subjugated king who was obviously a little out of shape, with two dark circles under his eyes, and looked depressed.
"These days, the king must be quite uneasy here, but fortunately, the matter has been decided."
"Tomorrow, we can set off south. My emperor has been looking forward to the king for a long time."
"Looking forward to it..."
Li Qianshun couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. The dignified leader of the Xixia Kingdom would also suffer the humiliation of his subordinates. But now, since he couldn't die, he could only endure it.
"My lord, don't worry too much. After all, my emperor has always been merciful. Now as long as you are respectful, my emperor will definitely not make it difficult for you."
"It can even allow you and your descendants to live in peace in the Song Dynasty, with fine clothes and fine food, without having to suffer the bitter cold in the northwest border..."
Looking at Gao Zhang sitting there chatting, Li Qianshun could only squeeze out a wry smile from time to time and nod.
After comforting Li Qianshun, Gao Zhang stood up to leave, thought for a while, and then said to Li Qianshun.
"By the way, when you look back, I will arrange for a trustworthy and capable official to be responsible for you and other matters."
"This person is my right-hand man. He is known as Cai Liulang and Cai Yao, the elder of Xiaoge in the Song Dynasty and the Qilin son of the Cai family."
"The Liulang of Prime Minister Cai of the Song Dynasty?" Li Qianshun was also surprised. He didn't expect that he was really a noble man.
Gao Zhang showed a meaningful smile, nodded, and then strode away.
Cai Laoliu was such a rebellious man, so Gao Zhang was very satisfied that he was put in charge of these prisoners of war.
Anyway, even if there is a problem, even if Cai Laoliu kills Li Qianshun, hehe, if you have the ability to go to him, it has nothing to do with the humble and low-key Gao.
After meeting Li Qianshun, Gao Zhang and Zhao Aban came to a relatively run-down private house.
Gao Zhang opened the courtyard door that was missing a piece, and after entering the courtyard, he saw the three-huang Wangfu with yellow hair, yellow beard, and yellow eyes. He was sitting on the steps with a lonely face, looking at the sky in a daze. .
After seeing Gao Zhang, he quickly bowed his head with joy on his face.
"I'll see you, Privy Council Gao, and Zhao Yaban. I've been working hard since I sneaked into the territory of Xixia, and I've been working hard for the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty..."
"Okay, your merits are in the Imperial City Division's merit book, but I remember every one of them clearly. I have already reviewed them before I came to find you."
"You are indeed very good, and you are worthy of being a rising star in our Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty."
"..." The flattering smile on Wang Fu's face froze slightly. Looking at the serious-minded Gao Zhang, he always felt that the words of this powerful Privy Councilor Gao were very heartbreaking.
"So, I am very optimistic about you. Well, Zhao Aban, what was Wang Fu's previous position?"
"Back to Duke Zhuangyuan, Wang Fu was our most powerful detective in Huangyuan before, but he has never been transferred..."
"Well, as the saying goes, those who make mistakes must be punished, and those who have merit must be rewarded. You have made some achievements. In this case, what should be given to you must be given to you."
Gao Zhang tilted his head towards Zhao Abban who was standing aside. Zhao Abban took out a blank form from his arms with a smile, except that the name column was blank.
In other places, all the required seals and texts are available.
It's just that the words "Outer Fifth Commander" were written on this blank notice, which made Wang Fu's face become extremely exciting.
"Why, Commander-in-Chief, are you looking down on our Imperial City Division's incompetent official status?"
Zhao Abban's gloomy voice rang out the moment Wang Fu showed disgust.
