Chapter seven hundred and seventieth Tuen Tian

"A great victory in Jizhou?"

"It's been written in the Luoyang Residence newspaper. I heard that that one...will be returning to the imperial court soon..."

"Hiss...what should we do, what should we do..."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are many guards and guard posts, destroying the harmonious garden scenery. Geili Literature Network

It seemed that the imperial soldiers were patrolling and guarding as usual, but the soldiers spoke with Shu accents. Many family members and maids passed by, but they all bowed their heads in fear, and the atmosphere was very tense.

These strangers who broke in in the morning were all bodyguards sent by King Liu Yan of Shu. It was said that they were "protecting" their family master from being assassinated by the Luoyang puppet dynasty.

In an attic, Wang Yun, dressed in court uniform, silently watched the movement outside, until a voice sounded: "My lord, we are traveling to Luoyang."

In the Han Dynasty, the customs were pure. "Adult" was a special title for parents, and the person who came was the eldest son Wang Gai.

The letter was stamped with the cabinet's seal. It was very simple, just asking for the surrender of Shu and Chang'an. It was a few words and I could read it at a glance.

"Submission..." Wang Yun sighed slightly, regretting a little that he should not have lured Liu Yizhou to the capital. The old Liu family had always pushed their ambitions further, and their ambitions could never be quenched - not to mention Liu Yan, Liu Bang, Liu

Xiu, Liu Bei, which one is not like this?

The situation has reached this point. Chang'an is caught in the middle and must turn to one side. Ever since Liu Yan went to Beijing to be crowned queen, the situation has been out of his hands and Wang Yun has been unable to control it.

"I originally thought that Luoyang would fail in Jizhou, and Chang'an would have an opportunity. After all, a saint hinted at it, but who knew..."

Wang Gai's face turned pale when he heard this, and he boldly said: "I can't convince the King of Shu..."

"This is the title of king of a powerful clan, and it will not be forgiven. My old bones are also buried in it. Don't think about some impossible things...just wait for the end."

Wang Yun's tone was dull, and he waved his eldest son's hand to retreat. The setting sun slid down the horizon, casting a dark shadow on the old man's straight waist.

In the city of Chang'an, the weather was shaky.

After a while, there was another slight noise, which made Wang Yun frown: "What's the matter?"

The lights lit up in the darkness, and the swaying flames cast a soft and graceful shadow, which surprised Wang Yun.

"Long time no see, foster father...or Prime Minister Wang. Geili Literature Network"

"It was you... Gaier who contacted you?" Wang Yun was a little annoyed. None of the younger members of the family were obedient. This was true for his foster daughter Diao Chan, his nephew Wang Ling, and now his eldest son Wang Gai!

Diao Chan put down the lamp and did not answer. There was no point in talking about it now.

Wang Yun was silent for a while and then said: "Ying Wu asked you to be a lobbyist? I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, and I will never surrender to you against my integrity...Gail doesn't know, but don't think that I don't know who you are on earth.

It’s you locusts that caused the big man..."

"Who said that?" Diao Chan was surprised. She knew that this foster father was not someone who could be easily persuaded.

Wang Yun stubbornly shut his mouth and did not respond.

Diao Chan pondered and said: "My adoptive father may know something, but the person I want to tell you to my adoptive father may not reveal much of the truth...I am not from the earth...the world itself...the truth about the Battle of Jizhou..."

She talked bit by bit, and finally said lightly: "You must have noticed many changes. The climate, aura, and species of this world are all mutating. It is definitely not what was recorded in the "Book of Songs" in the past. We must adapt to such drastic changes...

…You have taught me the Book of Changes. It is said in the Qian hexagram that heaven moves vigorously and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement.”

Wang Yun listened to her without saying a word, his eyes flashed, and he breathed out: "Guanlong, Hanzhong and Shu have been the roots of the Han Dynasty since the time of the great ancestor Han King. It is impossible to unify them. Now the Qiang and Han people are mixed.

This is an extremely critical time...Stop talking about these useless things, bring out the Northern and Southern armies to defeat us, and witness your emperor's martial arts...and destiny."

Diao Chan was startled, looked at the old man's back, and said slowly: "I will convey this to His Majesty... Please take care of yourself."

She remembered what her lord had said: in every era, there are always people who are left behind - they can no longer walk.

After the flash of light, the attic returned to silence, and the night wind blew by.

The old man closed the window slumpedly and stood there for a long time in the dark and no one was around, until Wang Gai cautiously came up and asked, "Sir?"

"Ask for leave from the court on my behalf, saying that I can't sleep in bed and thank guests behind closed doors..."

In the more than ten years since then, Wang Yun has not appeared in public again.

………

In mid-April, the atmosphere in Jizhou gradually returned to calm, but it was still very desolate. Three hundred thousand people were working in the fields, which seemed lively, especially where the emperor's palace was. Geili Literature Network

This year, the cold in the north made summer come late, just in time for the spring farming season and the resumption of production. After the war, everything was on track. The boiling national atmosphere tended to calm down while the people were busy with their lives, and the real dragon hid deep in the abyss.

This can be said to mean the world is at peace, or it can be said to be preparing for the next war. It depends on people's mentality and perspective.

The weather was sunny, and the rising sun evaporated the dew on the grass beside the fields. Ye Qing led a group of soldiers to inspect the fields.

The Han Empire had always paved and built roads and set up pavilions extensively.

There is a straight and wide official road, with large wheat fields on both sides. The newly planted wheat has grown, and there is a dragon flying in the clouds to spread rain. There is enough rain, and the growth is lush and green.

From a distance, you can see people working in twos and threes.

"Your Majesty, the newspapers have publicized that anyone who comes to Jizhou can be granted land and tax-free for one year. According to statistics, there are 730,000 people and a total of 190,000 households willing to move here. Combined with the 10,000 surviving households in Jizhou, there are

The household registration is 200,000." When Guo Jia said this, he sighed.

The entire Jizhou was emptied. In fact, due to the war, the population dropped from 60 million to 40 million. Of course, the Han court actually controlled only 35 million, and there were still 5 million in Shu and Chang'an.

Perhaps, this is what makes those few people dare to disobey.

After Ye Qing heard this, he just smiled - restoring the situation in Jizhou, stopping mobilization, and resuming production. The Queen Mother recently wrote a letter of inquiry and replied to comfort. These are the duties of an emperor.

There was a busy scene in the field, and Ye Qing looked at it without saying a word.

"Your Majesty is worried about the barbarians in the grassland?" Guo Jia asked. He already knew his assignment, and he would stay in Jizhou to defend the grassland for the next ten years.

"Murong Zheng lost five thousand when he joined the invaders. He lost a lot of energy when he first established his foundation. He still has to suppress internal turmoil. Don't worry too much in the past two years..."

Ye Qing shook his head and said casually: "I am a little worried about the farming system. It is good that the vertical economy is only responsible for the central finance, but the organizational form cannot be a military system for a long time. This dual-military system is slightly better, but the efficiency will gradually decrease in the end.

, after defeating the Wuhu, it will be time for the birds to disappear... This is the trend."

Guo Jia thought about it and then said: "Just continue for one generation to alleviate the financial shortage at the beginning of the founding of the country."

"Well, after their generation, the second and third generations will have to switch to a democratic system, increase the population, annex land, etc. It is inevitable to be limited to agriculture and rely on industry..." Ye Qing stopped and looked at Zhuge Liang.

: "By the way, has the Shibu official-run iron yard been restored?"

Zhuge Liang was refreshed. He had recently been responsible for renovating the blast furnaces, red bricks, and earthen kangs of the former iron yard. He had made some achievements: "It has been restored and started to produce the Huoling steam engine... This thing is really good, but it is a bit bulky and can only be placed there."

If it can be used in the workshop to replace the oxen as His Majesty said, it would be of great significance..."

At this time, the scale of urban workshops was not large enough, and they continued the tradition of supplying officials, soldiers, wealthy businessmen, and citizens nearby. They were not enough to carry products deep into rural areas. This was related to the lack of convenient road transportation. In an era when mobilizing half a million people was a national war,

Few people realize the huge humanitarian power that can be gathered by moving tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people and producing complex chemical reactions.

Ye Qing did not predict anything, but just smiled: "Take your time, as long as the path is correct, improvements will always be successful. I may not be able to see this day, but you young people can still see it."

"How could that happen?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows. He was not used to the monk's perspective yet.

"Your Majesty, live forever." Zhuge Liang said in a positive tone with a serious look on his face.

"Haha... You little naughty boy, I have to consider sending you to the black land of the Northeast."

"Well……"

The busy and peaceful atmosphere lasted until evening. When Ye Qing returned, the fields were filled with the sound of frogs, which was clear and sweet.

The entire starry sky is covered at the end of the horizon, and the stars of the Milky Way are falling down. It has been like this forever.

Ye Qing dismissed his courtiers and guards and stood alone in the dark field, looking at the stars quietly. He stretched out his hand to hold the North Star in his hand. The five virtues' sharp vision was comparable to that of the Yang God. He could feel the entire starry sky surrounding the palm of his hand, slowly.

Rotation, circumstantial evidence of the earth's rotation axis.

Everything is really the same...

As they approached the entrance of the palace, Empress Xiao Mi... or Qianqian came out to pick him up. The two of them did not speak during the whole journey, only communicating with their spiritual senses.

"Husband, are you in a bad mood?"

"It's okay, it's just a pity that I haven't been here for a long time... By the way, how is the acquisition of the memory of Da Siming's clone?"

"There are a lot of useful things, but I can't find the information about the Wutong Phoenix Seal. Immortals are long-lasting and secretive existences. And I suspect that Da Siming himself has some reservations, so he didn't instill this kind of information into his clone..."

"Sure?"

"Come and see."

Ye Qing took the crystal diamond from her hand, observed the huddled girl inside, and frowned: "Confidentiality level..."

A layer of vague fog enveloped his vision, which startled him. The familiar feeling of being blocked by luck appeared again.

Based on the two previous experiences, it shows that we are close to the truth.

"It seems that I still have to go back. There must be some secret ancient information in the imperial capital's royal library. This is the only way to obtain it, but Prince Yujun is no longer able to talk..."

Qianqian blinked: "Didn't my husband say that there will be a county prince released to the north? He might be the opponent that Prince Yu wants to get rid of. Isn't that easy to talk about?"

"Smart girl." Ye Qing smiled, not wanting her to worry more about this matter, so he changed the subject: "Da Siming himself has not contacted me again. He seems to be in a hurry and seems a bit businesslike..."

Qianqian smiled kindly: "I asked Jingyu about this matter, and she said that according to the old practice, everyone's credit score is positive. The specific number depends on the completion of the preliminary analysis of the Star Lord ship. However, there is a time difference between the ground and the soil. I guess it will wait until the reward comes.

By then, both husbands had returned to the ground."

"Um."

"Oh, by the way, the Queen Mother has also sent inquiries about stopping mobilization and resuming production and life."

"I understand what she means. These 300,000 soldiers cannot leave for the time being. I will investigate when I get back. The only son in the family has been demobilized. Even if he is old, he will go back. It is estimated that the 200,000 young men will have to be converted into field soldiers..."

"Well... Husband, don't stay here tonight." Qianqian glanced at her husband and said meaningfully: "Sisters Jingyu and Hengyun will go back to the East China Sea in a few days. They may be responsible for exploring the South China Sea. Basically,

I won't go back to the Central Plains again." Ye Qing was startled and nodded: "That's fine, I'll go there right away." Xu Xu's words dispersed in the quiet night, with the cool breeze blowing, and the lights of the Han Palace seemed to be shining in the darkness.

A small boat was submerged and disappeared.
