The grandson's marriage is really impressive. It has already agreed that Liu Yi personally handled it. But to be honest, the relationship with his grandson is actually far less than that with his own children. After all, their childhood was almost spent by listening to Liu Yi's legend, and Liu Yi didn't spend much time with them.

During this period in Chang'an, although Liu Yi also attended court, he rarely participated in discussions. He had been relaxing political affairs for more than ten years and did not know much about the current state of the government. In addition to a few old ministers, there were some new faces in the court. Most of the old friends, friends, and political enemies of the past have passed away. Even if they are still alive, even if they are political enemies, Liu Yi looked very friendly. After all, there were not many people from the same era who could survive until now.

When it's okay, Liu Yi would take his wife to places like Yilanxuan. Now there are many entertainment projects in Chang'an. Of course, we should also look at young girls. Men. No matter what age they are, they want to take a look at young and beautiful women even if they don't think about what happens. This is not a bad habit. Lu Lingqi doesn't care about it, and she will even discuss with Liu Yi which woman is more beautiful.

After all, I have lived my whole life, and Lu Lingqi is very clear about her own man’s personality.

In the 17th year of Yanxi (253 AD), Liu Yi took his wife and a lot of money to the railcars to the Western Regions. More than 100 billion yuan was needed to use the current railcars to pull, and in order to protect these, there were special troops accompanying them. There were tens of thousands of people and horses alone, and two young generals of the Han Dynasty accompanied them to guard them.

The corridor from Chang'an to Dayuan was built back then. This road was mainly about laying railway tracks, which was not a problem. In addition, the railway tracks could be paved in at most three years. The most important thing was the other three roads, which were also built to strengthen the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions. From Chang'an to Tianshan, there was another one from Chang'an to Dunhuang, and the last one was from Chang'an to Luoyang, then to Yuyang, and the Beiping area.

Nowadays, the conditions for the great Han Dynasty are only enough to build these three.

Liu Yi set up a smelting plant in Dunhuang, Zhangye, Fufeng and Hanoi and began to cast rails.

In the years when he was not in the Western Regions, some things happened in the Western Regions, that is, the fallen prince led his army to come to him. First, he wanted to completely kill his younger brother to prevent future troubles, and second, he also looked at the strength of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi was not sure how this battle was fought. He only knew that more than 50,000 troops were left behind and sent to various places as miners to mine. The eldest prince is now imprisoned in the heavenly prison in Chang'an. As for Luther and the young prince have not returned to the Qin Dynasty, they are now authentic Han people.

When Liu Yi returned to Dayuan, he met Luther once. He spoke Chinese in a thief. Dayuan has now become a major center for the Han Dynasty in the West. Vendors from all countries who traveled to and from Dahan basically went here, which also created the prosperity of Dayuan. At the same time, the Great Wall that Liu Yi built in Dayuan also blocked the cavalry of Kangju and Kushan. Both countries are mainly nomadic countries, which are similar in nature to the Xianbei and the Huns, but they are far less powerful than the Xianbei and the Huns.

Moreover, with the continuous convenience of transportation, the Silk Road has become one of the main sources of wealth every year. Because of the popularity of glass, it is unlikely that you can exchange gold and silver with a pile of glass beads just like Fusang and Sanhan. However, the fired glass products still have good sales in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions today are different from the Western Regions in the past. The Western Regions in the past are now Xizhou, and the Western Regions we are talking about now refers to the territory west of Dayuan.

This time, Liu Yi stayed in the Western Regions for ten years, from the 17th year of Yanxi to the 27th year of Yanxi, three railways in the Western Regions were completed. At the same time, Liu Yi built thirteen trains in the past ten years.

The railway from Dayuan to Chang'an has been opened. Liu Chan once took the train to Dayuan by himself. The steam train and attributes are blessed with the speed of about 150 miles per hour. From Chang'an to Dayuan, it is more than 6,000 miles away. It can be reached in less than two days, which is faster than the wooden rail train from Chang'an to Luoyang. It is precisely because of this that Liu Chan was very supportive of Liu Yi's subsequent construction of the railway from Luoyang to Beiping, and even hoped to drive another railway from Chang'an to Xuzhou, but was rejected by Liu Yi.

Nowadays, the four railways in the Han Dynasty are already at their limit. No matter how many, the Han Dynasty cannot bear it at present. Moreover, the emergence of railways requires corresponding laws to be issued. Only after people understand the importance of railways can they be suitable for laying on a large scale to replace today's wooden tracks.

After all, the lifespan of the wooden tracks in the early years was actually not high. Even if they were blessed with attributes, they had to be replaced for at most ten years. The wooden tracks in Shu have been replaced twice now, but they were not hosted by Liu Yi, but hosted by Liu Yi's disciples.

In the 27th year of Yanxi (263 AD), when Liu Yi arrived in Chang'an by train, Liu Chan personally brought his ministers to greet him. However, looking at the civil and military officials in the court, Liu Yi had no choice but to find that there were even fewer familiar faces. Pang Tong died of illness four years ago, and Liu Yi did not even come back. Zhuge Liang is now lying on a high bed and has not been to court for a long time.

Cui Zhouping also died of illness three years ago, which was the last trip Liu Yi personally sent him. This time, Liu Yi rushed back immediately after the completion of the Western Regions Railway. He also heard that Zhuge Liang was critically ill and immediately embarked on his way back.

"Tao Fu, don't be too polite!" Liu Chan looked at Liu Yi and wanted to salute, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years. I feel very comforted to see Your Majesty's body being strong." Liu Yi held Liu Chan's hand and said with a smile.

"The Grand Tutor has been working hard for me over the years. I am really relieved to see that the Grand Tutor is so healthy." Liu Chan looked at Liu Yi, who looked no older than him, and he was a little confused. Liu Yi, who was already 84 years old, did he feel that he seemed a little big in sixty-four years? I heard that when the jade seal was made, the Grand Tutor had a lifespan of twenty years. Liu Chan didn't understand how Liu Yi did it.

While walking back with Liu Yi, he asked about some health preservation methods.

"Your Majesty has had sex a little too much over the years." Liu Yi glanced at Liu Chan's dark eyes and said with a smile.

"Uh... I won't talk about this, the Grand Tutor will have to stay for a while when he returns to the court this time." Liu Chan said with a little embarrassed smile.

"The old minister does have plans to rest. There are not many old friends in the court. This time I come back, one is to miss Your Majesty, and the other is to see Kong Ming." Liu Yi sighed.

"The Prime Minister is indeed in good health now..." Liu Chan sighed after hearing this.

After reminiscing about the past with Liu Chan, Liu Yi went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's hard for my father to get up these days, so don't blame the Grand Tutor." The one who received Liu Yi was Zhuge Zhan. This kid has been with Liu Yi for two years and is now a magnificent official. He is only thirty-six years old and can be appointed as the Nine Ministers. He has some connection with Zhuge Liang, but in terms of ability, he is not as amazing as his, but he is not really incompetent, but his personality is a bit arrogant.

"Okay, I have been with Kong Ming for nearly sixty years, and I still care about these false rituals?" Liu Yi shook his head and said, "When he can still move, with his personality, he will not lose his etiquette."

Zhuge Zhan sent Liu Yi to Zhuge Liang's room. Before he could enter the room, he could smell a strong smell of medicine, which was not very pleasant.

"Boyuan is here." Zhuge Liang slowly stood up with the help of Zhuge Zhan, looking at Liu Yi's face, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Boyuan is indeed the longest-lived of us."

"I told you a long time ago that you should delegate power. You are exhausted to death by dying of life. You are only over 80 years old." Liu Yi laughed.

"According to what you said, how can the Shiyuan be calculated?" Zhuge Liang was a little amused and confused. It was rare for a person to live in seventy years. He is now 82. Isn't this called short-lived life?

"He was drinking!" Liu Yi said angrily: "I listen to me, how could I not even meet the last time?" Liu Yi said angrily.

"I can see the great man reviving in our hands, and the people are rich and the country is strong, and there will be no regrets in this life." Zhuge Liang smiled.

"When the old general Hansheng went, he said that the deadline was coming. I told him that the days were still long, but he was gone. Later, the sister-in-law of the Deng family said this, and I also said that the days were still long, but the result..." Liu Yi leaned on Zhuge Liang's bed, looked at the mosquito net and smiled: "When Yun Chang and Yide and others went there, I felt very uncomfortable and cried. Later, Hansheng, Zilong, Shuzhi, Shiyuan, and Zhouping went all out, which was also uncomfortable, but it seemed numb. Today you want to tell me that there is not much time, and I will not persuade you anymore, and it will not be useful if you say it. Life is not something you can decide, so why bother to deceive yourself?"

"At least we should comfort me, right?" Zhuge Liang said with a funny look.

"You need me to comfort me?" Liu Yi asked back, "Why do I want you to light a seven-star lamp and see if there is a way to lend him a life span of hundreds of years for you and God."

"You, why are you good at talking when you were middle-aged? Why did you feel like you were in Wolonggang then? " Zhuge Liang looked around and found his feather fan and smiled and said, "The fan you gave me has been replaced by five times. I have never understood one thing."

"Then ask." Liu Yi smiled.

"The fan you gave Shi Yuan always has different effects, but I have changed so many of them, but the effect seems to have not changed. Why is this?" Zhuge Liang asked while fumbled through the fan.

"This effect is suitable for you! I'm reluctant to change it!" Liu Yi couldn't help but smile.

"It's you!" Zhuge Liang took a fan and slapped Liu Yi's hair and hair was dancing around, but his expression was extremely calm. Zhuge Liang slapped himself many times, but it was the first time he saw others like this, so he couldn't help laughing.

"What's ridiculous?" Liu Yi asked calmly.

"I finally know why others were so stolen when they saw me." Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Bored." Liu Yi shook his head and said disdainfully.

"What are your plans in the future?" Zhuge Liang found it interesting, but he didn't say anything else and just asked.

"After building the railway, I planned to take my wife to various countries in the Western Regions to see it. I always heard about it, but I never could see the exotic style with my own eyes. I have learned a lot of languages ​​in my spare time and can be used." Liu Yi smiled.

"I want to go and see it, but I'm afraid there's no chance." Zhuge Liang said with a little yearning.

In recent years, with the continuous maturity of the Han Dynasty's navigation industry and the Western Regions trade, the Han Dynasty's understanding of the world has also changed. The world is very large, and the Han Dynasty is only one of the corners. The latest map drawn is a piece of land in the sea south of Yizhou, but the specific situation is not clear now.

"It's hard to say about other places. I can take you to see Dayuan, and it will be within two days." Liu Yi smiled.

"No, I still have some things to write. Although the things you made are good, they need to keep up with the rules, otherwise they will become the source of chaos. You have to remind Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"You, you will live for yourself all your life." Liu Yi sighed.

"After finishing this," Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

"Of course there are young people to do it, why bother to get involved? It's not that the big man is gone!" Liu Yi said speechlessly.

"I know, but I'm always worried that they won't do well." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"Just be happy." Liu Yi said helplessly. He persuaded Zhuge Liang for the rest of his life, but now he is too lazy to persuade him, and it is useless to persuade him.

The two of them talked for a long time before they finished.

Zhuge Liang finally did not survive this year. In winter, he passed away after finishing the new scriptures.

Liu Yi did not cry this time, but after Zhuge Liang's funeral, he carried a pot of wine and sat in front of Zhuge Liang's grave for a day, talking a lot of past events. The next day, he said goodbye to Liu Chan and went to Luoyang to start the construction of a new railway.

Although the railway here has not yet begun to be built, when it was in the Western Regions, it had already begun to smel and cast railway tracks here, and the one who built the corridor was Liu Yi's disciple.

Compared with the railway in the Western Regions, this one is much faster, but it is also much more complicated. There are many counties and counties along the way, not only one. And the train alone requires twenty trains, which are more than the Western Regions, and there are also several bridges across the Yellow River. Although it is much simpler than the Yangtze River Bridge, it is also a major project.

Ma Jun has been building embankments in various places over the years, and has the name of master and apprentice with Liu Yi. He has officially become a master. However, Liu Yi basically ignored Ma Jun's development and allowed him to freely play. In recent years, from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, there have been embankments designed by Ma Jun everywhere, which have made considerable contributions to the Han Dynasty's sorting out waterways.

This time, the railway was five parallel. Although it was not as long as the Xizhou Railway, it actually consumed a lot of iron ore.

Starting from the 28th year of Yanxi (264 AD), the railway network was completed in the 36th year of Yanxi (272 AD).

"Tao Fu!" Chang'an, the palace, 70-year-old Liu Chan took Liu Yi's hand and said, "Why would you resign?"

"I have done everything I should do," Liu Yi took Liu Chan's hand and said, "In fact, when Kong Ming went there, I was already determined to be an official, but the railway was not yet completed, and I had to finish it. Now I have done everything I can do for the Han Dynasty. I want to take my beloved wife to the Western Regions to see the countries of the Western Regions. I have agreed for many years. If I don't go, I am afraid I won't be able to go."

"I..." Liu Chan coughed, looked at Liu Yi's appearance younger than himself, and said with a wry smile: "I regret not not listening to the good words of the Grand Tutor. Over the years, my body has been declining, and I am afraid that it will not take a few years to live. I will let Changsun inherit the imperial career. Although there are many civil and military officials in the court, the one I trust most is the Grand Tutor. I want the Grand Tutor to assist the government."

"Your Majesty, I don't want to do it. I just have been ignoring the government for many years. Even if I stay, I can't help the prince." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "And, how many people in the court still remember this old bone? Your Majesty..."

After a moment of silence, Liu Yi took Liu Chan's hand and sighed: "I have sent away the late emperor, Yun Chang, Yide, Kong Ming, Shiyuan and Zhouping. I really don't want to send you to Your Majesty. Really, I want to accompany my wife in this last period of time and see the outside world. I hope Your Majesty will be grateful."

Liu Chan sighed and nodded bitterly.

A few days later, Liu Yi, under the escort of Liu Chan, Liu Cheng, Liu Ming and others, boarded the train to Dayuan. Dayuan was the first stop, and he was about to go to fall, Kushan and other countries to take a look.

...

Many years later, at the pier by Yueyang Lake, an elderly couple got off the boat and looked at the familiar Yueyang City.

"How many years has it been this year?" Liu Yi asked with a smile at the wife beside him.

"Yanxi has been forty-eight years, right?" Lu Lingqi said with some uncertainty.

"Yanxi?" The young man passing by looked at the couple in confusion and said, "Brother-in-law, Yanxi changed his year name in the 37th year, and it is now the third year of Taisho."

"Oh...Da Zheng?" Liu Yi nodded, looking at Yueyangcheng in front of him and smiled: "There hasn't been much changed."

While saying that, Liu Yi set up a stall next to the dock and said, "I haven't been here for a long time."

"Brother-in-law, you are..." The young man looked at Liu Yi and said in confusion.

"I am a carpenter, carving some gadgets to make a living." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Oh? You still have to come out to make a living at this age? Where is your son?" the young man said in confusion.

"Not here." Liu Yi sighed. He hasn't been back for many years. If his son is alive, he will be eighty, right?

"Sorry, what if you carve one for me?" A trace of pity flashed in the boy's eyes, and he squatted down and came.

"Okay, what are you carving?" Liu Yi smiled.

"Just carve a famous brand. My famous brand is old and I'm about to change it to a new one." The young man took off the famous brand from his waist and smiled.

"Liu Dong? Royal relatives." Liu Yi glanced at the famous brand, took out a piece of wood and quickly carved it.
