Wang Zhen nodded, looked at Zhang Zongheng and continued, "Since the eldest brother has let it go, I will treat him as a normal person from now on."
"That's what kindness is. The teacher taught us that letting others go is like letting yourself go."
Wu Yi smiled and said, "This time when you go to the Western Regions, your main mission is to find Bai Diezi. The four necessities of life are nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Our Tang Dynasty is basically able to meet the needs of food now, but it is still lacking in clothing.
There are several large plains in the Western Regions that are very suitable for growing white flounder. I have brought you all the materials you requested. Chen Zheng has selected the manpower for you, and he will go to the Western Regions with you."
"Brother Zhen." Chen Zheng bowed to Wang Zhen with respect in his eyes.
Wang Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in Yuzhou. The future education and law of the Western Regions will be handed over to you."
"Ah, you are also in charge of education?" Chen Zheng's face turned pale, "I can also be in charge of military affairs."
Even though the medical school and the Taoist temple spent money like water in the first two years, the emperor and empress only asked about it. When Wang Zheng presented the results of the medical school and the Taoist temple, the emperor and empress acquiesced.

"Have some shame, everyone knows how much profit Baidiezi makes. Don't think that others don't know the information you get, so everyone should be honest."
"Okay, what's the point of talking about this? Now that we're here, let's discuss how to allocate manpower and decide who's going in which direction."
"What should we do? If we divide it equally, we certainly can't divide it by distance. Even though my home is closest to the desert, I'm willing to go to the Northeast. How about three families in the Northeast, one family in the desert, and two families in the Western Regions?"
"But the power of the aristocratic families in Jianghuai should not be underestimated either. They also have the advantage of geographical location. Everyone knows that it is definitely profitable for that person to let his disciples develop the four border wastelands. If we don't leak any of our knowledge, do you think it is feasible?"
"Lingnan is a big piece of fat meat. The area is large and rice can be harvested three times a year. Think about sugarcane, lychees, bananas and other Lingnan-specific products. With that person's secret method, it will definitely be very profitable."
Pinghefang, still the same shabby courtyard, a few more carriages arrived today, and after the same complaints, several people entered the room.
"Your home is close to the Northeast, so it would be great to go there. My home is far from anywhere, so I'll just go to the Western Regions and wait it out."
Where there are people, there are bound to be disputes. Splitting into two means both sides are weak. Isn't this just waiting to be bullied? Besides, it is troublesome to dispatch supplies and manpower to the two sides.
"agree."
"You mean that your Taiyuan Wang family wants to monopolize the desert? Don't forget that the relationship between that person and your family is not so harmonious?"
"Bah, then my family from Bo Ling Cui clan will go to the Western Regions, will you agree?"
"Okay, then let's go home and do our own things."
"Isn't this nonsense? I said my family has no ideas, do you believe me?"
"I believe it. My family has no idea either."
These 10,000 people will be given salaries by Yuzhou, and as for the others who follow, Wu Yi and others will need to find a way to settle them down.
This time when the Yuzhou group went to the four border areas, Wang Zheng gave each of them 10,000 men, including 3,000 soldiers, craftsmen, and students, and let them arrange the remaining 1,000 people themselves.
"So one place is only one and a half? Who would be willing to run two places?"
"agree."
"Okay, let's leave Lingnan out. I don't think it's appropriate for two families to share one remote place. The Western Region is barren, and the desert is only slightly better in the south, but after all, it lacks stamina. On the contrary, the Northeast has thousands of miles of fertile land, which can accommodate a few more families."
"Three in the Northeast are fine, but two in the Western Region and one in the Desert are a bit inappropriate, right?"
Anyway, Wang Zheng will always earn back the money he spends, and the more he spends, the more he earns. In this case, let him do it.
What may seem like a trivial method is actually the best method in many cases.
Wang Zheng has always had the right to freely dispose of Yuzhou's funds, and Li Zhi and Wu Zetian have never interfered.
Wang Zhen is naturally not well-known among ordinary people, but in the eyes of the top people in the Tang Dynasty, he is a very scary existence. The key is that Wang Zhen entered the palace since he was a child, and his personality is somewhat extreme and sinister. He is indeed not an easy person to get along with.
"In that case, then my Xingyang Zheng family will also choose the desert. However, I still have to remind you four families that it is really not appropriate for two families to go to the Western Regions. Think about the methods and personality of that little guy, right?"
"Why don't we just share one place for both families? We won't divide it by region. How about we draw lots?"
There were four consecutive nods of agreement, plus the person who proposed it, which meant five parties agreed.
"Why? You, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, want to monopolize the Western Regions?"
"Hey, do you think he would care about that little problem from before, considering his broad-mindedness?"
Now is the time for everyone to rely on their own abilities. With enough reputation, there are plenty of talented people in medical schools and dojos.
"agree."
"Let's just choose two families. I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, will not draw lots. Let's just choose the desert. After all, it is close and it is convenient to dispatch supplies and manpower. The five of you can draw lots."
"That's great." Chen Zheng said excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Zhen."
“The Northeast could definitely use a few more.”
"The Yuzhou clan fled to the borderland. Do you have any thoughts?"
Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't have many people. Since I let you take charge of the law, I can also give you the power of law enforcement. Naturally, the soldiers of Ba can be mobilized at your will. Is that ok?"
"There's actually nothing much to discuss. Lingnan will be left to the families in Jianghuai. As for the other three places, we will distribute them according to their directions. It will be fair for each family to have one piece of borderland land."
"agree."
After hearing what the Zheng family said, the rest of the families fell silent.
"Then three of you will stay in the Northeast, and one will go to the Western Regions. Is there anyone among you who wants to go to the Western Regions?"
"Hehe, if you are willing to give way, I, the Cui family of Qinghe, would like to try my hand at the Western Regions. The profits of Baidiezi are indeed eye-catching. At worst, I, the Cui family of Qinghe, will just follow the lead of that little guy."
"Well, now that we have made the decision, you should prepare early. In fact, it is best to go with them. After all, the sooner we go, the easier it will be to grab a spot. The other families are not fools. No one will be willing to miss such an obvious opportunity for expansion."
"The aristocratic families are a small matter. After all, we can discuss any issues with them slowly. The key is that if we delay for too long, when ordinary people start to migrate on a large scale, things will become more troublesome. After all, the people of Yuzhou have two different attitudes towards ordinary people and aristocratic families."
