Each production and construction corps will have 20,000 people, and plans to cultivate land in five places: Loulan, Cheshi, Kucha, Shule, and Yutian.
During wartime they served as soldiers, and during peacetime they served as civilians. They increased the proportion of Han Chinese in the area and intermarried with the local people, gradually integrating the ethnic groups of the Western Regions.
The two commandant prefectures were the Ili Commandant Prefecture and the Luntai Commandant Prefecture, mainly stationed in the Ili River Valley and the area north of the Tianshan Mountains.
These measures will be gradually implemented after Xue Rengui's two armies have cleared the northern and southern routes of the Silk Road.
The 100,000 people in the Production and Construction Corps are just a fraction of Liu Wei's current population, and can be collected at any time.
Chen Ji, who was recuperating at Juyan Lake, was also summoned and appointed as the Chief Secretary of the Protectorate of the Western Regions!
As for that so-called Protectorate of the Northern Desert, it was nothing but a myth, and Liu Wei just laughed it off.
Let's wait until he's fully prepared to sweep across the northern deserts and seal the Wolf Mountain before making any plans!
At this moment, in the city of Loulan, the soldiers and civilians are also licking the wounds brought by the war.
Of the two thousand Loulan soldiers and forty thousand city residents, only eight hundred soldiers and thirty thousand civilians remained after this battle.

So they pleaded with Mangi, who was in charge of civil administration for Shard.
"The princess and the prince have gone to inspect the Puchanghai area and won't be back for a while!"
Manji smiled and politely declined, "The princess said that the entire Loulan army and people have suffered losses, and compensation is impossible!"
"Finding the princess won't help you!"
What a joke! My mansion was burned to the ground and I didn't say anything. And you people are asking for compensation? That's just wishful thinking.
These wealthy people immediately became dejected.
"However, the King of Clouds said that you can go to the Hetao region and see if there are any business opportunities for you!"
Manji himself had heard Liu Wei talk about honeycomb briquettes, farm tools, furniture, and refined salt from the Hetao region, and he became very interested in them.
The rich people's eyes lit up when they heard that!
