After the court, Liu Xie wandered back to his study.

Liu Xie now regards the study as his home. Since time traveling, he has basically been in the study all the time and rarely goes to the harem.

As for Liu Xie's original concubines, Liu Xie has never seen them.

In Liu Xie's words, a real man should make contributions while he is alive! Chaos is everywhere in the Han Dynasty now. He should not indulge in women, but should work hard to revive the Han Dynasty.

Today's suffering is for a better life tomorrow.

Therefore, using this excuse, Liu Xie fended off many concubines who wanted to kick his door at night.

However, there are exceptions.

Among all the concubines of Liu Xie, there are two special ones, one is Queen Fushou and the other is Dong Guiren.

These two people can be regarded as the earlier concubines who followed Liu Xie, and their status is really special. Therefore, they can enter and leave Liu Xie's study.

For example, this is the case now. Liu Xie returned to the study happily. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fu Shou and Dong Guiren sitting in the study waiting for him.

Seeing Liu Xie, the two of them stood up quickly and saluted Liu Xie.

"I've seen your Majesty, are you tired?" Fu Shou, as the master of the harem, immediately said to Liu Xie after seeing him.

Liu Xie, on the other hand, had an embarrassed look on his face. He was very happy, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Dong Guiren Fu Shou and was frightened.

"Why are you two here?" Liu Xie calmed down and then asked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Can't my sister and I be here?" Dong Guiren looked resentful when he heard Liu Xie's words.

Think about it, Liu Xie is the emperor, Dong Guiren and Fu Shou are his legitimate queens and concubines, in other words, they are his legal wives.

Are there any restrictions on my wife seeing her husband?

In addition, they married Liu Xie when Liu Xie was in the most difficult time. Liu Xie also relied on their two natal families to live peacefully and steadily in the cannibalistic place of Chang'an for so many years.

Seeing the resentment on the faces of Dong Guiren and Fu Shou, Liu Xie also sighed secretly.

As a man of two generations, Liu Xie knew what Fu Shou and Dong Guiren were thinking as soon as he saw their expressions.

"Since we're here, let's rest here tonight." It's not that Liu Xie doesn't want to get close to the two of them, but the universal compulsory education in later generations told him that although Lolita is good, starting in three years will lead to the death penalty!

Yes, although Liu Xie has been emperor for many years, he is really only 15 years old this year. Fu Shou and Dong Guiren are one or two years younger than him.

So, get it.

This is also the reason why Liu Xie has been hiding from the concubines in the harem. He has no choice but to do it because they are all teenagers. He really can't do anything.

However, now that Fu Shou and Dong Guiren have come to the door, if he pushes them out again, they will inevitably think too much.

Therefore, Liu Xie could only agree to let them spend the night in the study.

Fu Shou and Dong Guiren were overjoyed when they heard Liu Xie's promise.

"Your Majesty, please rest first. I and my sister will go to the dining room first and help your Majesty recuperate tonight." After saying this, Fu Shou waited for Liu Xie's answer, then took Dong Guiren and ran away.

Liu Xie was left alone in the messy study.

"To mend... mend my body? Mend my body with wool? Do I still need to mend my body?" Liu Xie cursed in his heart.

However, Fu Shou and Dong Guiren left, and they will not come back for at least an hour or two.

Liu Xie sat down again on the table where the memorials were placed, picked up a memorial and began to read it.

However, this look made Liu Xie frown slightly.

This memorial was written by Dong Cheng who was still in Wancheng. The main content is very simple. In one sentence, it can be summarized that Wancheng is poor.

In fact, Liu Xie sent Dong Cheng to Wancheng. In addition to letting him command the army and guard Wancheng, another reason was that Yingchuan, where Wancheng is located, was an experimental fiefdom that Liu Xie planned to give to the players.

He needed to ask Dong Cheng to go over first and inspect the situation in Wancheng, especially the money and food situation.

Because, until now, Luoyang still relies on a county in Hedong for its food and grass supply.

To be honest, it is really unrealistic to want to support the entire Han Dynasty with the land of one county.

A very simple example. Officials in the Han Dynasty were not paid in silver, but in grain. A prefect's annual salary was two thousand dan.

And how many officials are there in Luoyang who are worth two thousand dan? It can be said that as long as there are enough officials to participate in the small court meeting, none of them is less than two thousand dan.

If it is a large court meeting, then sorry, the minimum is four hundred dan.

A huge main hall can be packed full of people. For example, in today's imperial gathering, there were not many people, but there were more than 300 people.

Do the math, the minimum is 400 dan, and the minimum is 300 people. How much money does this cost for food?

That's all, not counting the cost of supporting the army.

In the past, when the majesty of the Han Dynasty was still there, it would mobilize grain and grass from various places and transport them to Luoyang, and then distribute salaries to the officials. But now, among the princes from all over the country, who will care about you?

The entire Han Dynasty is fighting everywhere, and they also need food and grass to fight. How can they possibly send food and grass to you, the emperor?

Another point that needs to be explained is that it started in Luoyang and Taicang was built near Chang'an.

These Taicang grains belong to the national war reserve and can be used by the Han Dynasty in emergencies.

For example, if there is a rebellion somewhere, you can use Taicang's grain and grass to mobilize troops to exterminate it. Or if there is a major disaster somewhere, you can also use it.

If Liu Xie remembers correctly, when his cheap man was still alive, Taicang near Luoyang and Chang'an was full. But now, rats can starve to death in Taicang.

Why is this happening? Then we should thank Fatty Dong who had the sky lantern lit.

At that time, the allied forces of the princes attacked Hulao Pass. Fatty Dong thought that he could not defend it, so he had all the grain and grass in Taicang, Luoyang, moved to Xiwu in Chang'an.

And within the next two years, this large amount of money was spent.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army was in civil strife for several years and lost Taicang near Chang'an. As a result, Liu Xie's Han Dynasty now had to rely on one county in Hedong for support.

In just a few months, or less than a year, Hedong County is about to be emptied out.

Liu Xie originally thought that Wancheng is a big city and Yingchuan is a big county. They all have some food and grass. If nothing else, let's wait until this autumn harvest.

But now a letter from Dong Cheng directly shattered Liu Xie's wish. Wancheng was also poor.

However, there is a saying that the poverty in Wancheng has nothing to do with Zhang Xiu. After all, Zhang Xiu had been stationed in Shaanxi County with Zhang Ji before. Zhang Xiu only ran to Wancheng after Zhang Ji died.

Therefore, Wancheng has no money. In the final analysis, it is the Xiliang army, especially Fatty Dong, Li Jue and Guo Si who are responsible for paying him back.

Li Jue, Guo Si and Fatty Dong: Then the three of us will die again to apologize to you?
