Liu Xian is not short of money, let alone industry, so naturally he will not covet the princess of Changshe and Princess Yiyang's princess mansion.

However, Liu Xian's heart also understands that this is a little bit of their heart, and they support their own intentions. Liu Xian already knew that the two princesses were not having a good time in their husband's family. Therefore, over the years, they have not had much private property, and it is impossible for them to interfere in their husband's property. This situation is also different from the situation of Ma Guiren.

What did Ma Guiren say, in the Plains Palace, it was indeed she who had the final say. But these two princesses don't have much say in their husband's family.

Of course, they are a princess, and their husbands don't dare to go too far, and on the surface, they have to maintain respect for them. Otherwise, their lives would have been even more difficult.

Regarding their embarrassing situation at their husband's house, Liu Xian suggested that they should not return to their husband's house if they were fine. lived in the princess's mansion, and in the future, they were responsible for their own lives for the rest of their lives.

They seemed to have some scruples, but they almost acquiesced to Liu Xian's words, if it was not necessary, they really did not plan to return to their husband's house. However, they also know very well that they are people from the husband's family, and if the husband's family wants to call them home, if they don't have a valid excuse, then I am afraid they will have to go back.

The thoughts of women in this ancient era are so simple. Even if their husbands are gone, they still have the idea of marrying a dog with a dog, marrying a chicken with a chicken, being born as a person of their husband's family, and dying as a ghost of their husband's family.

Their thinking is indeed the thinking of ordinary women in this era. Sometimes, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

In fact, the women's atmosphere in this period of the Han Dynasty was actually quite open. At the very least, it is normal for a widow to remarry. Liu Xian believes that Princess Changshe and Princess Yiyang really don't need to stick to their husband's house.

In the past, when they left their current husband's family, they would indeed be helpless, and if they remarried, it would be detrimental to their reputation, and if they remarried, it would be difficult for them to ensure their livelihood, and it would be difficult to say whether there would be a good outcome. At least, if they remarry, then the princess halo on their bodies will inevitably weaken, and it will be difficult to gain the respect of others in the future.

There are some things that they themselves must understand, they themselves do not have any power to rely on, stay in their husband's house, they are still princesses, even if their husband is gone, they can still enjoy certain privileges. Because of this, they have never considered remarrying.

Now, they are actually not too old, and the princesses of Changshe, who are one year older, are still two or three years younger than Ma Guiren. It's okay to have a good life.

Now that there is Liu Xian, it is equivalent to giving them a place to rely on and have sustenance.

Liu Xian didn't want their princess's mansion, and he also considered that he didn't want to make it difficult for them to face their husband's family because of this matter. Anyway, in another three or two years, this big man will change the sky, and when the time comes, all the industries here will probably be in ruins. At that time, Liu Xian also planned to take the two princess aunts to Liulin City.

In the end, the two princesses, like Ma Guiren, also chose an independent courtyard in Liu Xian's Marquis Wuyong's Mansion and lived in the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion.

Anyway, there are only so many relatives, and Liu Xian naturally will not refuse, so he can follow them.

It wasn't until the third day that Liu Xian asked Zheng Bo to prepare a gift and found Ding Yuan's residence in Luoyang.

Ding Yuan, whose name is Jianyang, was a figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, born in poverty and humble, and was appointed as an official when he was young because he could write articles. The official worships Jinwu and leads the state to assassinate the history.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan was killed by his son Lu Bu shortly after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. He died a terrible unjust death.

In fact, Ding Yuan is now an official worshipper Jinwu, leading the state assassin history, and has great power in the imperial court.

Zhijin Wu rank is two thousand stones, there are two Cheng and Hou, Sima, thousand people. The subordinate officials have the middle base, the temple mutual, the arsenal, the four orders of the ship, and the Cheng. Another style of the road, left and right in the middle and Jingfu Lieutenant, also have a relationship with Zhijinwu.

In addition, Zhi Jinwu is also responsible for patrolling, prohibiting violence, supervising rape and other tasks in the capital, and the guards in charge of the northern army and the southern army guarding the palace are the inside and outside. If the emperor goes on patrol, he will stay in the capital. It can be seen how much power Ding Yuan has.

In addition, the crusade against the rebellious alien race is also the duty of the ruling Jingo. The reason why Ding Yuan received the post of assassination of the state was that he took the position of Jinwu and conquered the Huns in the state. It is precisely because of this that he discovered Lu Bu's martial arts and accepted Lu Bu as his righteous son. It also made Lu Bu play the prestige of General Fei, and together with Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, it also shocked at home and abroad.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't separated Lu Bu and killed Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo would really not dare to be too rampant in the capital, he was really a little afraid of Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan also has his own mansion in the capital.

After Liu Xian asked Zheng Bo to hand over the post, he asked the doorman of the Ding Mansion to report. Originally, Liu Xian thought that he would have to wait for a while, but just after the carriage was parked, he saw an old man walking with a dragon and a tiger, but his beard was a little gray, and behind him, it was Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

"Is it Liu Xian, Marquis of Wuyong?"

As soon as he walked out of the mansion, he saw Liu Xian at a glance, and asked from afar.

"Exactly down there." Liu Xian estimated that he was Ding Yuan, so he hurriedly responded.

"Haha, it's really a hero out of a teenager. This time, when the old man returned to Beijing, he heard others talking about a person named Liu Xian almost every day. The old man thought, what kind of person is this person? Now when I see it, it is really extraordinary, a talent. Well, old man Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan's voice was like a bell, he seemed full of energy, and said heartily.

Liu Xian didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Ding Yuan has won the award, and he will go after the end of his studies, and I will meet Lord Ding." Don't be surprised if you come to visit. ”

"Hey, the old man is actually a martial artist, so you don't need to wrinkle with the old man. Let's go, let's go into the house. Ding Yuan stepped forward and walked in as soon as he pulled Liu Xian away, and he said: "Wen Yuan, he told the old man, saying that you would come to Ding's cold house yesterday as a guest." But you didn't come yesterday, so you thought, "I'm going to come today, right?" And so it was. Just now, the old man was still thinking that if you don't come, the old man will have to visit your Marquis Wuyong's mansion. ”

"Well, Lord Ding, yesterday I went to the princess's mansion of Princess Changshe and Princess Yiyang as guests, so I can only postpone it until today."

"Really? Well, the old husband of the princess of Changshe knows, a few years ago, the old man also went to Geng's house and met the princess of Changshe. Alas, the Geng family, this is really not easy to say, it is estimated that the generation is not as good as the generation. It's just that it's hard to be the princess of the long society. But the old man's ability is limited, and he can't manage other people's affairs. Hehe, I feel it, don't talk about this, come, let's talk while drinking. ”

As Ding Yuan spoke, he took Liu Xian to a hall and invited Liu Xian to sit down as the chief guest.

followed, Ding Yuan also asked Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to accompany him, but what made Liu Xian feel a little strange was that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun sat opposite, but vacated the position of the chief opposite.

Although Liu felt strange at this time, he didn't ask much.

"Lord Ding, how does Xiaohou feel as if you are waiting for me today? This made Xiao Hou feel a little frightened. Liu Xian and Ding Yuan didn't know each other, but when they met this time, Ding Yuan seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about himself.

"Haha, Marquis Wu Yong, you're right, the old man is waiting for you at home. If you don't come, the old man will really come to your house. Speaking of which, the old man is indeed a little embarrassed, and the old man originally planned to ask you for some help. Ding Yuan said as he poured his wine.

"Oh? What does Lord Ding need Xiao Hou's help with? It doesn't hurt to say this directly. Liu Xian thought to himself, do you want to be so straightforward? I wanted to ask you for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, but I didn't say anything, but what did you want to help yourself?

However, Liu Xian thought about it and roughly guessed what was going on. Because Liu Xian already used the mouths of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to know what happened to Ding Yuanjing.

Sure enough, Ding Yuan was not embarrassed at all and said bluntly: "Marquis Wu Yong, the old man is poor now, and I want to ask you for a little funding." ”

"Uh......" Liu Xian really didn't know how to deal with him, and said: "In this way, Lord Ding did not get the support of the imperial court when he returned to Beijing this time." ”

"Not really! Now the imperial court, the miasma of black smoke, is all a group of traitors who cheat and do not do business. If it weren't for Ding's opinion, our Han border army had reached a time when it was in great need of expansion, and the old man really didn't want to go back to Beijing to see those people's disgusting faces. Hum! Out of sight is pure! Ding Yuan scolded indignantly.

Ding Yuan has been away from Beijing for many years, and his influence in Beijing has become smaller and smaller. This time when he returned to Beijing, the emperor actually did not go to court, and when he asked to see the emperor, he was hindered by the eunuchs in the palace. actually dared to ask him for benefits, Ding Yuan was quick to talk, and directly criticized those eunuchs. This is good, those eunuchs hate Ding Yuan because of this, and they don't know what bad things they said about Ding Yuan in front of the emperor. Therefore, after seeing the emperor, Ding Yuan put forward his own request, and the emperor said that the imperial court had no money and the treasury was empty. In order to make Ding Yuan believe, he also cited some examples of how much food was spent on the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army the year before last, which directly affected the present.

Ding Yuan was not very reconciled, and reasoned with the emperor for a few words, but in other words, Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, had a lot of money, and asked Ding Yuan to ask Liu Xian for some money.

If Liu Xian knew this, he was afraid that he would also scold his mother, so he had to think of himself as the rhythm of an ATM. Isn't it just a small business to make some money? The emperor has been thinking about it?

"So, Lord Ding, how many border troops do you plan to expand? And how much does it cost? To be honest, if you don't have the support of the imperial court, ......"

"The imperial court is in favor of allowing the border army to expand to 100,000 on the basis of the existing military horses. There is still a gap of about 30,000 military horses. It's just that the imperial court only promised to provide money, food, and military salaries for the sergeants after the expansion, but there was no extra money for Ding to recruit troops and horses to make ordnance, clothing and other equipment. ”

"That's right, okay, you report a number, and I can support Master Ding to pull people up. But ......"

"Hehe, Ding understands. Actually, Ding didn't mean that he wanted Wu Yonghou's money in vain. Let's just like General Huangfu Song made a deal with you, when Ding borrowed you, and then, through other means, returned to you, how about it? ”

"Uh, what did General Huangfu Artemisia say to you?" Liu Xianzhen was in the dark sweat, but he didn't expect that General Huangfu Hao would still have a relationship with Ding Yuan, and would tell Ding Yuan about his deal with himself.

"Everything that needs to be said has been said." Ding Yuan said: "The old man has heard of you a long time ago. Sometimes, I think that Marquis Wu Yong is indeed too shrewd. But this is good, but it can solve Ding's urgent need. In this way, there are not many other states in the state, but there are many mines, and there are a lot of horses and other livestock. If you need it, cattle and sheep can be obtained, after all, the land of Hetao is a place where the Huns live, and the Huns there are inextricably linked with the Huns and other alien tribes in the desert steppe, and through these channels, you can directly exchange cattle, sheep and horses with those aliens. The old man wants to ask for 100 million money first, how many cattle, sheep and horses do you think the old man needs to give you? Or some iron ore blooms? ”

"Okay, then give Lord Ding 100 million money first, and as for how many things can be exchanged, I'll send someone else to negotiate with your people."

Liu Xian saw that Ding Yuan did not directly ask for money from him, but learned from the emperor at that time, and exchanged other things for money with himself, which Liu Xian was also asking for.

"In addition, this 100 million money should be regarded as Xiaohou's intention to support Lord Ding, and it should also be regarded as Xiaohou doing a little financial support for the border defense of our Han. So, you don't need Lord Ding to trade things. But only this 100 million money, I'm afraid it's not enough, so, for anything else, we can exchange transactions for money. How is it? ”

"General Huangfu really didn't see the wrong person! Little Hou Ye, you are indeed a warm-hearted and enthusiastic person. Of course, if you weren't such a person, I'm afraid you wouldn't have saved so many people in Yangshi County in the first place. Ding Yuan really appreciated Liu Xian in his heart.

"Xiao Hou is just doing his best." Liu Xian said modestly.

"Lord Ding, then Brother Zhang Liao and Brother Gao Shun, can they lend to Xiaohou?" Liu Xian said in a timely manner.

"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have already told the old man." Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who were present: "The old man has also talked to them. In this way, Gao Shun will lend it to you first and help you train your people. After a few days, Ding returned to the state and immediately began to expand the army, and Ding needed Zhang Liao to do these things. So ......"

"Brother Liu Xian, I'm really sorry......" Zhang Liao's face turned a little red at this time, and he said with a look of shame.

Liu Xian waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "We don't have to say these words between us, I can understand it." In this way, Brother Gao Shun, I will have to work hard for you in the future. ”

Gao Shun stood up, hugged his fist at Liu Xian and said, "Gao will definitely do his best." In the future, please also ask Brother Liu Xian to take care of me. ”

"Haha, they're all my own brothers, I don't have to say it."

Liu Xian has been mentally prepared, and getting a high shun is already the best result.
