Chapter 2404 Longevity, the eldest princess repairs the garden
Naturally, under this concept, many people who were persuaded by the old Yuan family hoped that the other party could lead them when they encountered the enemy and the divine cavalry. Although the directions of movement of the two parties were completely opposite,
This kind of behavior made Duan Xun extremely annoyed. It was better to be trapped in the formation. Normal people could not tell who was under his command, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was so famous in Yongliang that everyone could recognize it.
At least most of the people in Yongliang knew him.
After all, when Li Jue was doing infrastructure construction in Yongliang a few years ago, because his ability was too poor, in order to get it done as quickly as possible, he directly used Xiliang cavalry military control and watched the people of Yongliang dredge the Zhengguo Canal and Liufu Canal.
So much so that the people of Yongliang who are still mentally sane can basically distinguish the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Although the equipment of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Bandan Xu looks much better than in previous years, the general temperament and all aspects are still the same.
The Divine Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are at best upgraded versions.
There is no substantial difference in appearance between the two sides. To be precise, the Shen Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are mixed together, and normal people cannot tell them apart at all.
Therefore, many people who ran westward recognized this as the Xiliang cavalry who had been watching their work in the past few years. Some even recognized this guy as Duan Xuan, and Duan Xuan was almost annoyed to death.
The people are not stupid either. Although there is definitely no danger in the repaired part of the westbound road, isn't this road not yet completed? You will definitely have to walk on your own later, and walking on your own will definitely be a bit dangerous, even if everyone sticks together and there is an organization inside
people, but this cannot be compared with the protection of the army at all.
In the eyes of the people of Yongliang, the Xiliang cavalry has a lot of black history, but they have stopped messing around in recent years, which is acceptable, and the leader Duan Xuan is quite reliable. It’s okay if there is no general. There are generals.
Xiliang cavalry are generally very reliable.
With this idea in mind, most of the dozens of Yongliang people they met along the way wanted to ride on Duan You's cavalry, but Duan You refused all of them, and the Yongliang people had nothing to say.
After leaving, this group of people talked about the dark history of the Xiliang Cavalry.
"What is going on with these guys and why are they going west?" Duan Yan said to Hao Meng unhappily after he dispersed the crowd of people.
"Who knows, maybe they are going to the front to fill the population vacancy. This is not something we should take care of. We still plan to go to Chang'an." Hao Meng paused for a while and said.
"General Gao agreed." Duan Yan said with a raised eyebrow.
"After all, I have taken this road. It is really unjustifiable not to go to Chang'an for an audience." Hao Meng explained that Gao Shun also knew some ways of the world.
After all, the regent princess is equivalent to the face of the Han Empire. Gao Shun and Duan Yan can also be regarded as soldiers who went on an expedition. Of course, when they come back, they have to go across the road to see her.
It turns out that summer is here, and the eldest princess received another sum of money. After all, the country is in a good situation now, and it is easy to raise a princess, so a large sum of money was approved. The specifications are similar to those for raising Liu Bei, about 0%.
Financial revenue of .5 points.
However, due to the extremely huge total amount, the actual cash in Liu Tong's hands was only about 100 million. However, there were many luxury goods that were extremely expensive in name and not even for sale. As for the bulk, the money had already been injected into the bank.
Chen Xi is not stupid. There is no point in sending so much money to Liu Tong. Instead of letting Liu Tong stuff the money into the treasury, it is better to leave it in Chen Xi's hands to operate it. At least there will be a few points of interest, not to mention Han
The good five baht here will not depreciate at all!
However, even if the majority of the money is invested by Chen Xi in the bank, the remaining cash is still a very large amount for Liu Tong. As for the luxuries sent to him, of course he will accept them all, and these luxuries are not considered expenses at all.
.
At this time, Liu Tong finally understood why the eldest princesses before him were living so well. Although they were not given much cash, they were completely open to other aspects.
As a result, in terms of money, it seems that there is only one thing left to repair the garden. Well, unlike the previous emperors and eldest princesses, Liu Tong actually has no place to spend the money he received.
Food and clothing itself does not cost money. As the face of the Han Empire, even without Liu Bei, Cao Cao would not let Liu Tong have food and clothing problems. After all, Cao Cao did not fall short in this aspect when Liu Xie was there.
, if it were Liu Tong, there would be no intention to bully the other party, so for Liu Tong, there are not many places to really spend money.
In this way, except for the investment in the orphanage and the distribution of candy last year, the remaining large sums of money are all in Liu Tong's hands. Therefore, after receiving the money this year, Liu Tong wants to build a garden.
The Weiyang Palace in Chang'an is actually very large and has many supporting facilities. When it was moved back from Luoyang, it was slightly repaired during the reign of Dong Zhuo. When Li Jue got rich, he wanted to repair it to show the majesty of the Han Dynasty. After all, the Han Empire had already
After three hundred years of dominance, even a high-ranking official would pay attention to the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Before, it was fine if he had no money. Now that he has money, Li Jue also wants to do something about it.
As a result, Li Jue was beaten out by Cao Cao before he could do it. Later, Cao Cao invested money to repair it, but he did not completely renovate it. After all, Cao Cao's situation at that time was more complicated, so he delayed it until Northern Xinjiang.
After the war, when the three families were on their way back to Chang'an, they even offered to spend money to completely renovate Weiyang Palace.
After all, the Weiyang Palace was the face of the Han Empire, and the palaces of the Han Dynasty were very particular about being neither majestic nor majestic, so at that time the three families planned to spend a sum of money to renovate the Weiyang Palace, at least to the level of the previous Han Dynasty.
As a result, before arriving in Chang'an, the late Emperor Liu Xie went to Hexi, and the main hall of Weiyang Palace was burned down. Now there was no need to renovate it. A new one was built in three months, and the supporting facilities were also very complete.
When Liu Tong succeeded to the throne, Liu Bei and others agreed to renovate all the other palaces, but Liu Tong refused because they were of no value, and the entire direct line of the Han emperor was left with less than two hands.
Even if the entire Weiyang Palace is renovated, there will still be no one to live in it. Liu Tong is not the emperor of the Han Dynasty before. The Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard can gather some people, add the late emperor's concubines and so on, and get some eunuchs and maids to serve.
Weiyang Palace can gain some popularity.
Liu Tong is a princess. It is naturally impossible to arrange the three palaces and six courtyards. After all, it is impossible to give a princess a concubine. As for raising a face, although no one talks about it, this kind of thing cannot be put on the surface, let alone
Liu Tong didn't want to raise his face at all.
Taking into account Dong Zhuo's rebellion, no one lived in the harem during Liu Xie's reign. Therefore, the renovation was also used to lay stones, so the three families thought about it and stopped.
But the contract has been signed. Each of the houses in Weiyang Palace counts as one. When it is occupied, whichever place you like will pay 200 million to repair the house. Let alone repair the house at this price. If you are not greedy, just build a new one.
No problem. In the face of the empire, Liu Caosun has not messed up. Naturally, he is only doing basic maintenance now.
As a result, there are more than a hundred people living in Weiyang Palace near the front hall. There is one eldest princess, and the rest are people who serve Liu Tong and maintain the cleanliness of the palace. To be honest, there is no way for these more than a hundred people to maintain Weiyang.
The cleanliness of the palace.
However, he could barely guarantee that the sanitary environment of the front palace would not cause major problems. As for the palaces at the back, Cao Cao sent two thousand professionals to come in every month to maintain them and then leave to prevent the palaces from growing grass. However, it was still depressed.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Currently, there are only three women from the Han Dynasty who are officially qualified to live in Weiyang Palace, the Empress Dowager Tang Ji, the Empress Dowager Fu Shou, and the eldest princess Liu Tong. However, the first two will not return to Weiyang Palace at all. Tang Ji is here
In Yecheng, Fu Shou did not go out when he returned to Fu's house, and Fu's house was also closed.
So much so that Liu Tong was the only one in the huge Weiyang Palace. Although he was a little lonely, his life was much better than in previous years. At least he had money to build a garden this year.
Well, Cao Cao didn't care about Liu Tong's gardening. Even if Liu Tong wanted to plant vegetables in Shanglin Garden, Cao Cao didn't care. But because he didn't go to court to repair the garden, Cao Cao said that he had a lot to say.
If this were applied to the emperor, the three princes and nine ministers would have started to scold him, and he might even have vaguely called him a faint emperor.
It's just that if this happened to the eldest princess, looking at the current situation in the court, the three princes and nine ministers no longer even have the thought of scolding each other. They all do their own things in an orderly manner. It seems that everyone has become accustomed to the court without the eldest princess.
Besides, it’s okay if the eldest princess doesn’t work. She was just in a daze when she came here before. Why don’t we still have Cao Sikong? Cao Sikong is indeed a capable minister in governing the world. Looking at this situation, there is no hope for a traitor in troubled times.
After other officials waited for a quarter of an hour, they confirmed that the eldest princess was attending the court meeting today. The courtiers in the Han court collectively looked at Cao Cao.
Now Cao Cao has two choices. One is to send someone to inform the eldest princess who is building a garden in Weiyang Palace. If she invites her twice, Liu Tong will definitely come over with an unhappy face; the other is to continue without the eldest princess.
Work, anyway, when the other party comes, I, Cao Cao, will do the work.
Faced with these two choices, Cao Cao decisively shot the first one to death. There was nothing big going on today. Liu Tong could just let the pigeons fly. The impact would not be big, so Cao Cao took a step forward, coughed lightly, and focused everyone's attention.
"Each minister will report on recent events, and the Ministry of Industry will report in detail on the construction of roads and bridges." Cao Cao said to Han Ting Wenwu with an expression on his face as if someone owed him eighteen million.
It is said that there was no such thing as the Ministry of Industry, but now building roads and bridges is really important. And as everyone started to build it, the smart people on Cao Cao's side also discovered that the more this thing was built, the more important it would be for them to build it.
The greater the overall benefit to the country.
Naturally, the importance of building roads is getting higher and higher. It was originally just a minor official under Jiuqing Taipu, but now because of the importance of roads, the importance of this official position has increased, and then it became independent under Chen Xi's suggestion.
