Although Luo Chong had not come over from Hanyang Commandery, he kept a close eye on everything happening in the Tang Tribe. Dashu also constantly gathered updates on the Tang Tribe's situation, reporting to Luo Chong in one letter every day.
Apart from the soldiers on leave, the entire Huben Guard stationed in camp was mobilized. The Tang Tribe had eight commanderies and twenty-seven counties in total. Sending one hundred soldiers to each county meant 2,700 men, and with the logistics troops and the rest, exactly 3,000 soldiers were committed to the operation.
Following Luo Chong's orders, Dashu dispatched one hundred soldiers and one Governing Task Force to each county. Their first task was to establish the Han Tribe's authority in all twenty-seven counties and lay down a basic framework. The initial administrative work did not need to be comprehensive. As long as they could record the Population Yellow Register, household registrations, fields, and residences, the work afterward would be easy to carry out.
Once the local situation had calmed down, they would then invest appropriately according to the different circumstances of each place. After the common people began earning income under the Han Tribe's rule, they would start collecting taxes.
Tax collection absolutely could not begin too early, or it would certainly provoke resentment among the local people. They had to wait until the people saw that their living standards had genuinely improved under the Han Tribe's governance before asking them to pay taxes to the Han Tribe willingly.

That very night, the army and the administrative officials from every region began crossing the river in batches, heading to Tangcheng Commandery
