Three days later, Long Jun sent Tong Fei out of Chang'an on the pretext of finding out Nanhua's whereabouts, in order to cover up his true intentions. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, if it is only for the jade seal, he is not afraid of everyone's opposition, but adopting Yuan Shu's bloodline, let alone him, I am afraid that even Yuan Shao will not dare to do it, after all, Yuan Shu is a usurper and thief, not the emperor, who is qualified to pardon his bloodline. This is also the reason why Long Jun wants to avoid all the military divisions, otherwise no one will let Long Jun come so nonsense.

At this time, according to the decision of Long Jun and the Military Aircraft Administration, the concert of ceding Luoyang set off on the road at the same time, and the general order to transfer Zhang Xiu back to defense, the two were carried out simultaneously, of course, this is also indispensable Long Jun's private letter to Cao Cao, and he is strict The key to this, especially in the future joint crusade against Yuan Shu, Yanzhou, which borders Yuzhou, will definitely bear the brunt and become the main force of the conquest.

After arranging all this, Chang'an began to plan to expand the army, expanding the Chang'an army in Xiqiang to 20,000, the Longyin army in Hanzhou to 10,000, the Tiger Roaring Cavalry to 10,000, the Wuji Battalion to expand to 30,000, the Blazing Sky Army to remain unchanged, the Qubei Battalion to expand to 10,000, the Juyanze garrison to 20,000, the Liangzhou Army to 20,000, the Longhuwei 10,000, and the Guanzhong Navy Army temporarily focused on training and did not increase or decrease and was not in the battle sequence. The local garrison and the defenders of Chang'an were not among them, and the total number of combat reserve troops in Guanzhong remained at about 130,000.

In the past two years, our army's territory has become larger and larger, and the source of troops has increased, but we should try to minimize the recruitment of troops in the garrison to prevent chaos by borrowing troops." At this point, Long Jun turned his gaze to Jia Xu and Xun Yu, and continued, "Regarding the matter of raising a soldier with a few dings, the two of you must think about it carefully, and strive to achieve the goal of raising one out of ten, and on the premise of ensuring the people's livelihood, you have the ability to nourish our army's military needs." ”

"This is not a problem, our army has always implemented a policy of elite soldiers, so there is no redundant army, but now the most difficult problem our army faces is the scarcity of iron ore. According to the plan of the lord, our army is mainly ironclad, but the ore mining in Xiqiang is very slow, coupled with the so-called plateau climate, there are very few miners willing to go, and many miners summoned by Zibo are now idle in Beijing and can't even be released, for fear that the news of the Xiqiang mine will leak out. ”

Seeing Xun Yu's sad face, Long Jun sighed helplessly, the plateau climate of this era is not so easy to solve, and ordinary people can't bear it, but with this group of miners in this way, Guanzhong can't afford this expense, so Long Jun thought about it, and asked Jia Xu, "Is there any way to solve these people over there?" ”

Seeing that Long Jun asked himself, Jia Xu pondered for a while, first found a report from the Ministry of Industry from the newspaper in front of him and handed it to Long Jun, and then walked to the Chang'an real scene plate made by the Academy of Sciences, pointed to the Weiyang Palace and said softly, "A while ago, the Ministry of Industry sent a report to request the restoration of the Weiyang Palace, but because our army's westward expedition was not completed, the money in the treasury did not dare to move, so it has been pressed without approval." But since the lord intends to deal with this group of miners, it is better for us to let this group of people repair the Weiyang Palace, and the silver money can be distributed as usual, and the subordinates feel that since the lord has built four major colleges outside Chang'an City, it is better for us to take this opportunity to expand Chang'an together, and the required labor, we can let the Chang'an army plunder from the Xiqiang side, first, we can save our expenses, and second, after a few years of service, I can slowly assimilate this group of Xiqiang people with the promise of getting rid of slavery, and reduce the fear of the people under my rule about the plateau climate. I hope the lord will think about it! ”

In the face of Jia Xu's strategy, Xun Yu couldn't help frowning, not that Jia Xu's plan was not good, but that Jia Xu's plan would make the expansion of Chang'an City all over the place, and at the same time, it would also make Guanzhong once again on the cusp of expanding the western capital of the dynasty, which was a big crime, no less than Yuan Shu's crime of being the emperor, of course, it was not as direct as Yuan Shu. When the other three heard this, they just took a deep look at Jia Xu, who was full of expectations, and Long Jun, who was silent, and neither objected nor agreed.

Speaking from the heart, expanding Chang'an's position is the same as rebellion, although this is what everyone is looking forward to, but for so long, Xun Yu still hopes that Long Jun can slowly achieve this goal. As for the remaining four, Guo Jia and Xu Shu have made it clear that they neither support nor oppose this matter, it all depends on Long Jun's personal wishes. On the contrary, Xun You and Jia Xu hoped that Long Jun could determine the goal earlier and give Guanzhong a reassurance.

Looking around at the reactions of the five people in the room, Long Jun smacked his lips, waved his hand at a few people, and motioned for them to sit down, and then he walked to the door and turned his back to everyone and said in a deep voice, "I know what you have in mind, Gongda also told me about this in the Western Regions, but I changed the topic halfway. But now that you all want an answer, I might as well tell you clearly. ”

Immediately, Long Jun turned around, looked at the Chang'an real scene plate with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I want to do that seat, but at the same time, I don't want to do it, because I'm not sure what kind of person I will become after sitting in that position." Whether it is a lonely family like Liu Hong, who doesn't know his relatives, or conquering the four seas like the First Emperor, so I haven't given you a clear answer. But today I can tell you, what I want is peace in the world, as for whether the Long clan will become the lord of the world, it depends on what position our army will go to in the end, once it comes to the time when I have to be the emperor, I, Long Jun, will never shirk. ”

Getting this answer, the big stone in everyone's hearts slowly fell, although this answer still has the meaning of delay, but at least it proves that there is ambition in Long Jun's heart, so that the Guanzhong army will not let the Guanzhong army finally make wedding dresses for others. So several people glanced at each other and gave a long salute to Long Jun, who looked inexplicable.

After Long Jun confirmed that Jia Xu was the person in charge of this matter, he left the Military Aircraft Department and walked to Xicheng, after two years, Long Jun almost forgot the existence of He Rou and Tang Ji, if it weren't for Weiyang Palace to evoke his memory of the two palaces in Luoyang, I am afraid that he would have to wait until the death of the second daughter to remember their existence.

Sensing that this trip might cause unnecessary trouble, Long Jun pinched his chin and asked softly, "How are they doing recently?" Are there any grievances? Regarding the death of the young emperor, did they have any radical behavior? ”

Hearing Long Jun's three questions, he couldn't help but glance at his lord a few more times, and there was a little strangeness in his eyes, how could this be the same question as the question he asked every time he returned to the Hou Mansion on an expedition? Could it be that the lord has taken a fancy to those two? Thinking of this, the look in Lin Yu's eyes became more and more strange, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei next to him were also confused. But this kind of thing Lin Yu is not easy to ask, so according to Long Jun's questions, he answered one by one, "Back to the lord, the state of these two is much better than when they received the news of the young emperor's death, as for the dissatisfaction, that is, the queen mother... No.. It was Miss He who privately complained that they couldn't go out. ”

"Can't get out?" After muttering, Long Jun pursed his lips and muttered, "I'm afraid this girl is scolding me behind my back, I don't know her yet?" Crazy one. Speaking of this, Long Jun sighed and continued, "As long as they can come out of Liu Bian's death, it will not be in vain Liu Bian's original decision, Ben Hou is worthy of him!" ”

Along the way, Long Jun asked Lin Yu a few questions about He Rou in a row, to be honest, he was not very afraid of Tang Ji, after all, the two did not have much contact, and Long Jun also took Tang Yu to Guanzhong as promised. But for the woman who was crazy in her bones, Long Jun didn't dare to underestimate her, thinking that Long Jun would have almost broken in the hands of the other party back then, if He Rou hadn't been too worried about Liu Bian later, I'm afraid her achievements would not be under Empress Lu.

After about a stick of incense, Long Jun met He Rou and Tang Ji, who had been separated for two years, compared with before, the two daughters were dressed with more of the atmosphere of a small family jasper, and less of the unique royal momentum. Secretly glancing at He Rou, who looked indifferent, Long Jun asked softly, "How are you two staying here?" If you need anything, you can replace it with the guards in the house, as long as I can do it, I will definitely meet the two of you. However, I said in advance, I can't agree to the two of you for the time being, there are too many people who know the two, in case there are any spies in Chang'an City, not to mention the impact on me, the reputation of the two is not a good thing. ”

Compared with He Rou's playful smile, Tang Ji said bluntly, "Since Master Hou said so, can the little girl meet my elderly father?" I heard from the guards in the palace that my father has now joined the command of the Hou Ye, I wonder if the Hou Ye can grant me this request? ”

Looking at Tang Ji's expectant eyes, Long Jun lightly nodded some money, then beckoned behind him, beckoned Lin Yu to the front, and said softly, "Go and tell Wen Ruojun to let him transfer Tang Yu to Chang'an to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Hongnong Taishou will be concurrently served by Zhang Xiu." ”

"Oh, my subordinates will do it!"

Looking at the back of Lin Yu leaving, Tang Ji cried with joy, and hurriedly got up and saluted Long Jun, which was regarded as a thank you. Seeing this, He Rou on the other side pursed her lips disdainfully, she is now nearly thirty years old, and she still maintains the elegance of the year, but even so, He Rou can't be happy. The moment she got the news of her son's death, He Rou almost went crazy, if it weren't for Tang Ji to take care of her, I'm afraid that Long Jun would only see Tang Ji alone now, plus Long Jun, a bastard, imprisoned them in this mansion for two years, how could she have a good face?

So after Long Jun and Tang Ji finished saluting each other, He Rouyu clenched her fists, looked at the desktop in front of Long Jun, and asked in an unkind tone, "Leave us here for two years and ignore it, this is also your promise to Jie'er?" And although there are many pavilions and pavilions in this house, there is no one to serve, and there is no maid by the side, Tang Ji and I need to carry our own water if we want to take a bath, do you have a sense of responsibility to help us arrange it? ”

"Uh...."Being scolded by He Rou, Long Jun's face was red and white, and he didn't know how to refute this crazy girl. So under He Rou's arrogant gaze, Long Jun took a deep breath and shouted at the guards guarding the side, "From tomorrow onwards, you are responsible for boiling water for our Empress Dowager and serving our Empress Dowager to bathe. ”

"Dragon Feather !!" Jiao snorted, He Rou glared at the phoenix eyes, waved her fist and hit Long Jun, and asked the old man to serve them to take a bath, what did this treat them as?

But the show fist was about to fall on Long Jun, so Long Jun grabbed it, glared back at He Rou provocatively, and sneered, "Don't you want to find someone to serve?" Why did Benhou send you a few people, and you are still not happy? ”

"Nonsense, are you kind?" Withdrawing his fist from Long Jun's big hand, He Rou then seemed to have thought of something, her beautiful eyes rolled, and she asked in a low voice, "I heard that Master Hou has married several more wives?" ”

"How?" When it came to his wife, Long Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at He Rou with an unkind look. Thinking about the purpose of He Rou's question.

However, He Rou seemed to be asking, gently patted the dust on her hands, and smiled, "It's okay!" It's just that I miss the banquet in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei back then, I wonder if the Hou Ye can meet this requirement of the palace today? ”
