Hua Xiong was chatting with the officials in the mansion. Suddenly, a man broke into the gate, tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground. The officials were frightened and drew out their swords around their waists to arrest him. Hua Xiong
He waved his hand and told them to disperse. He stood up and walked in front of the man. The man was beaten to a bloody head, but he did not moan. He raised his head, looked at Hua Xiong in front of him, and said tremblingly: "My family
The young master invites the captain to go to the mansion."
"Your young master? Who is he?"
"Huangfu Gushou."
Hua Xiong was shocked. He looked at him. He understood in his heart, but did not speak. He rushed out of the door, took his horse, mounted it and ran towards Huangfu's mansion. Along the way, none of the guards dared to stop him.
The Luoyang Order was indeed not as good as Man Chong, and he did not dare to send anyone. Hua Xiong galloped all the way to the front of Huangfu's Mansion. The door of the mansion was open. There was a servant standing by the door, wiping his tears and looking at
The surroundings seemed to be waiting for him.
Hua Xiong threw the reins into his hand and walked quickly towards the inner room.
Huangfu Gushou was sitting next to the bed, and there was another person standing beside him, who was an acquaintance. This person was Hua Xiong's descendant, Hua Tuo. Hua Xiong did not greet him, but half-knelt beside the bed. Huangfu Song opened his eyes,
Staring above, breathing weakly, there was no fear or panic in his eyes, and he was exceptionally calm. He slowly turned his head and saw Hua Xiong beside him. The corner of Huangfusong's mouth trembled and he showed a smile. Mobile version:
:
"You're here." Huangfu Song's voice was very low. Hua Xiong came closer and could barely hear it. Hua Xiong nodded and said, "I'm here, general. What are your orders?"
"No, Hua Manzi, I know that you are a smart man, but you still have to use your wisdom on the right path, read more, read more, understand?" Hua Xiong nodded, and Huangfu Song said again:
"I'm leaving. I have no military merit. Please tell Your Majesty that I don't need to be admitted to the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs. Bury me on the side of the east road of Luoyang. I want to see that the Han army on the expedition left an empty space beside my tomb to tell future generations.
, wait until I have a hundred-shot repeating crossbow to accompany it."
"Buried with him?" Hua Xiong asked.
Huangfusong nodded.
"Isn't that a bit of a waste?" Hua Xiong asked. Huangfusong grinned and said, "Just come up with the money and treat it as tuition."
"I remember"
"General, if you go there, can you please stop cursing me?" Hua Xiong asked cautiously.
"No, no," Huangfusong whispered.
"Huamanzi"
Huangfusong's face gradually solidified, with that gentle smile and the next sentence that he could never say. Seeing that his whole body was stiff, Hua Xiong trembled slightly and was speechless.
Huangfu Gushou's eyes widened and he looked at the old general on the bed. He fell into a daze and tears burst out of his eyes. He finally burst into tears. Hua Xiong looked at him and didn't know how to comfort him.
He hugged the motionless old general and cried loudly. Hua Xiong stood for a long time, then turned and left.
On February 13, General Huangfu and Luoyang Nei passed away at the age of eighty-four.
This majestic general passed away holding the repeating crossbow he had never forgotten. In his life, starting from the age of eighteen, he fought on the battlefield for decades and beheaded countless thieves. However, he died a good death and was buried with joy. Huangfu
The general's last words were unusual. The ministers had never forgotten the Zhonglie Hall, but he refused to move in. Instead, he wanted to bury himself on the side of the road. The news of his death caused a great shock in Luoyang.
From the lieutenant to the lower-level generals, and even the entire Northern Army, everyone bid farewell to the old general and mourned him.
On the day when the old general was buried, Huang Zhong led the Northern Army, Lu Bu led Jinwu, and Taiwei led the rest of the generals. They filled the entire Dongcheng Avenue. The general was buried, and everyone sang military songs to see him off. In a grand manner, according to his instructions
Hua Xiong personally dug a small empty tomb next to his, and the soldiers sang military songs until the evening. Many of them even became hoarse, but they did not want to stop.
The whole of Luoyang fell into sadness.
The ministers in the temple began to argue, mainly about the issue of Zhonglie Hall. Many people felt that even if the general left such last words, he should still be placed in Zhonglie Hall. He is fully qualified for this.
, and some people objected, thinking that doing so was against the general's last wish. At the end of the quarrel, the emperor personally ordered that a small statue be set up next to the statue of the late captain Zhang Wen for the old general.
Ma Junze was still busy in the general's mansion, eager to develop his own new manufacturing. During this period, he only met Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong came with a very pure purpose, which was to tell him Huangfu Song's last wish.
Ma Jun was a little silent about the Hundred-shot Repeating Crossbow. No matter how confident he was in himself, it seemed that this Hundred-shot Repeating Crossbow was not something that could be made at present. However, Ma Jun also believed that one day, the Hundred-shot Repeating Crossbow would be available.
It will definitely appear!
Ma Jun was so busy, and the emperor was extremely partial to him, which made the ministers smell something unusual. Why did the emperor pay so much attention to Ma Jun? Could it be that he had come up with some sharp weapon?
However, they did not have time to inquire about the news. The temple was extremely busy and they could not be distracted. The first was Yuan Shao. Without any experience, he could only force his way out of the way, and he actually hit him.
He has found a good path, issuing coins, unifying prices, public sales system, and the three systems. He has implemented them very well. He has the support of many people. It is easier than others to do these things.
many.
The most glorious era of the Yuan family was the generation of Yuan Shao's father. At that time, there was no merit assessment system. All the officials in the world were recommended. There were so many officials recommended by the Yuan family. All the officials in the world were from the Yuan family.
Disciples and former officials, no matter where they go, they can always meet acquaintances, even better than Dong Zhuo. However, the current Yuan family obviously has no way to do that. However, those people they recommended back then,
Nowadays, most of them are local governors and prefects.
Although the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, the quality is not comparable to the past.
With the support of such a group of people, and the help of businessmen, the economic policies were implemented very well, and a strange kind of prosperity appeared in the world. The people were grateful and naturally full of praise for the emperor. It was at this time that
In the year, the common people finally started to call the current Emperor the Holy Emperor. When the Emperor learned that, he was so happy that he almost cried. This is not easy. There are not many Han emperors who can be called such by the common people.
It took a full twenty-two years for today to get this title.
However, unfortunate things also happened. Of course, they did not happen in China. Because the temples issued a large number of coins, the merchants had a plan in mind. These merchants were really cunning. Instead of carrying goods, they brought several carts with them.
The coins went to Jiaozhou, Ningzhou, Xizhou, Xinzhou, Hezhou and other areas for trade. They purchased large quantities of foreign goods at the previous prices.
They were even more generous than before. When the foreigners saw how generous the Han merchants were, they were a little stunned and happily sold all the goods. The merchants also used a large amount of coins to obtain countless
They sell the goods at a uniform price in the country, or they store them directly and want to sell them to the original owner. Naturally, this does not expose any risks at first.
A large amount of money poured into the foreign countries. However, when trade resumed, the foreigners were surprised to find that the money that could buy ten swords could not buy even three swords. They were extremely angry, but
The merchants didn't care. They told these people that you wouldn't suffer because the prices of your goods have also increased.
Of course, in normal times, this is a good thing, but now, when they have a large amount of coins in their hands, something like this happened. As a result, the economies of several foreign countries around the Han Dynasty collapsed instantly, and they had a lot of coins in their hands.
They have accumulated a large amount of devalued coins, but they do not have a controller like Yuan Shao in the country. They want to barter, but the Han merchants do not agree. If they want to trade, they must use Han money, otherwise, get out.
In a war without gunpowder, the cunning businessmen of the Han Dynasty directly passed on a crisis that the country should have endured to the surrounding countries. Foreign countries suffered unreasonable disasters. In the end, they could not figure out what happened.
It's nothing. Similarly, Yuan Shao in China can't figure out why. Why is this happening? I'm fine as a big man, but these neighbors around me have suffered so much harm???
Civil strife broke out directly in Sushen and Dingling outside Ningzhou. A large number of people went bankrupt, lost their livestock, lost their family properties, and migrated towards Ningzhou. The monetary system was in turmoil, and they suddenly returned to barter.
In the age of goods, some people continued to trade with the Han Dynasty at high prices, even if there were heavy losses. Such a result would naturally make the countries outside Ningzhou even more turbulent.
In the end, in the name of protecting Han merchants, Xu Rong directly mobilized large armies and stationed in the two countries, helping the king quell the civil strife and restore local order. Of course, this help was not free, it had to be paid.
In Guishang outside Xizhou, An'an also suffered a heavy blow. An'an's situation was better, but Southern Guishan, which had been broken for a long time, was in trouble. There was civil strife, mutual conquests, and extreme chaos.
In the Hall of Houde, Taiwei Sun Jian was sitting in front of the Emperor, looking a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, why can't you send troops? This is the best time to annex several foreign countries!!!"
Sun Jian cried out helplessly. Since the civil war in foreign countries, he had begun to report to the emperor, hoping that the southern army would attack Guishang and Xu Rong directly occupy Sushen and other areas, but the emperor refused to agree.
"Wen Tai," the emperor said with a smile as he narrowed his eyes.
"You can send troops, but they have to help quell the civil strife, not conquer them."
"Ah??? Let's help them??? Why???"
The shocked Sun Jian roared like Zhang Yide.
"I am a stupid person. I really have no way to make so many people rich and make so many areas prosperous. I can't do it. However, the big man needs all kinds of supplies. Shu Shen's bow and arrow, Ding Ling
The cattle and sheep from Guishang and the cotton from Kushan are in great need of the big man.”
"You said, just like this time, the people of the Han Dynasty have become rich, and they are not the ones suffering. But if those areas are conquered, the money given to the people is not enough. Plus, wouldn't it be worse if there are places that need to be managed? How about, like
Like Su Shen, I sent troops to station and use their supplies to support the people of my Han Dynasty. I don’t care about others, as long as I can make the people of the Han Dynasty rich and the country strong, that is enough."
"They don't have to join my big man, they just need to listen to the big man's words."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and whispered.
"Of course, some important areas and ship ports must still be controlled by the Han Dynasty."
ps: There are fewer updates this month. Lao Lang has nothing to do. He has to start his graduation thesis. I remember that when I wrote the book in July, I was directly eunuched because of my graduation thesis. Lao Lang will not be eunuch like him. This is everyone's point.
Don't worry, but in terms of updates, we probably won't be able to maintain the intensity of last month, so please understand.
