Xiping 22nd year, February

Hua Xiong was chatting with the officials in the mansion, suddenly a person broke into the door, tripped over the threshold, fell to the ground, the officials were frightened, they pulled out the swords at their waists, and were about to arrest people, Hua Xiong waved his hand, let them disperse, stood up, and walked in front of the man, the man was broken and his head was bleeding, but he didn't groan, raised his head, looked at Hua Xiong in front of him, and said tremblingly: "My young gentleman invites the captain to go to the mansion...."

"Your young gentleman?? Who? ”

"Huangfu Gushou."

Hua Xiong was shocked, looked at him, realized in his heart, but did not speak, snatched the door, led his horse, got on the horse and galloped towards the Huangfu Mansion, along the way, the soldiers did not dare to stop, the newly appointed Luoyang Ling, it is indeed not as good as full of favor, and he did not dare to send people, Hua Xiong galloped all the way, came to the front of the Huangfu Mansion, the door was open, and there was a slave standing by the door, wiping his tears, looking around, as if waiting for him.

Hua Xiong threw the reins into his hand and walked briskly towards the inner room.

Huangfu Gushou sat on the edge of the bed, there was still a person standing beside him, or an acquaintance, this person was Hua Xiong's home, Hua Tuo, Hua Xiong did not greet him, directly half knelt on the side of the couch, Huang Fu Song opened his eyes, stared up, breathing weakly, there was no fear in his eyes, no panic, extraordinarily calm, he slowly turned his head and saw Hua Xiong on the side, the corners of Huang Fu Song's mouth trembled, revealing a smile.

"You're here...."Huangfu Song's voice was very small, Hua Xiong got closer, he could barely hear it, Hua Xiong nodded, and said, "I'm here, general, what do you have to order?" ”

"No, Hua Manzi... I know, you're a smart guy... But ah, you still have to use your wisdom on the right path, read more, read more, you know? Hua Xiong nodded, and Huangfu Song said again: "I'm leaving... I have no military merits, tell Your Majesty, you don't have to let me enter the Martyrs' Hall... Bury me on the side of the east road of Luoyang, I want to see the Han army of the expedition... And also... Next to my grave... Leave an empty seat... Tell posterity, wait... Wait... With a 100-shot repeater... Will it... Accompany... Accompany..."

"Funeral?" Hua Xiong asked.

Huangfu Song nodded.

"Isn't that a bit of a waste?" Hua Xiong asked, Huangfu Song grinned and said, "You can come out with the money... It's just tuition..."

"I remember..."

"General, if you go over there, can you not curse me?" Hua Xiong asked cautiously.

"No... No," Huangfu Song whispered.

"Hua Manzi..."

Huangfu Song's face gradually froze, with that gentle smile, and the next sentence that can never be said, looking at his whole body stiff, Hua Xiong trembled slightly, unable to speak, Huangfu Gushou on the side widened his eyes, looking at the old general on the bed, he fell into a stupor, a line of tears came out of his eyes, he finally cried bitterly, Hua Xiong looked at him, and didn't know how to comfort.

He hugged the motionless old general, howling and crying, Hua Xiong stood for a long time, turned and left.

On 13 February, General Huangfu and Luo Yangnei passed away at the age of 84.

This majestic general, holding his long-cherished repeating crossbow, passed away, his life, from the age of eighteen, fought on the battlefield for decades, beheaded countless thieves, but had a good death, when the funeral, the last words of the general Huangfu, different, the ministers never forgot the martyr's hall, he did not want to settle in, but 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 low-level generals, and even the entire Northern Army, they all mourned for the old general.

In the days of the burial of the old general, Huang Zhong led the northern army, Lu Bu led the Jinwu, Taiwei led the rest of the generals, stood all over Dongcheng Avenue, the general was buried, everyone sang military songs, in order to see off, mighty, according to his wishes, Hua Xiong personally dug a small empty tomb next to him, the soldiers sang military songs, until the evening, many people were even hoarse, but they did not want to stop.

The whole of Luoyang fell into a state of sorrow.

Many people feel that even if the general left such a last word, he should still be placed in the martyr's hall, he is fully qualified, and some people objected, feeling that this was against the general's wishes, and the quarrel reached the end, and the Son of Heaven personally ordered to set up a small seat next to the statue of the late Taiwei Zhang Wen for the old general.

Ma Jun is still busy in the general house, in a hurry to develop his own new manufacturing, during this period, he only saw Hua Xiong alone, Hua Xiong came, the purpose is also very pure, is to tell him Huang Fu Song's last wish, 100 rounds of crossbow, Ma Jun is a little silent, no matter how confident he is in himself, this 100 rounds of crossbow, it seems that it is not currently possible to build, however, Ma Jun also believes that one day, 100 rounds of crossbow will definitely appear!

Ma Jun is so busy, and the Son of Heaven is extremely partial to him, which makes the ministers smell something unusual, why does the Son of Heaven attach so much importance to Ma Jun, isn't he making some sharp weapons? ?

However, they don't have time to inquire about the news, the temple is extremely busy, they can't be distracted, first of all, Yuan Shao, in the absence of any experience, can only hit a road with his head, and even hit a good road, issuing coins, unifying prices, public sale system, three systems, he is very good, he has a lot of people to support him, to do this, it is much more convenient than the rest of the people.

The most glorious era of the Yuan family was Yuan Shao's father's generation, at that time, there was no scientific merit assessment system, and the officials in the world had to rely on recommendations, and the officials recommended by the Yuan family were so many, and the officials in the world were all protégés of the Yuan family, no matter where they went, they could always meet acquaintances, as strong as Dong Zhuo, and the same was true, but the current Yuan family obviously had no way to do that kind of situation, but the people they recommended back then were now the most local assassins, too guarded.

Although the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, in terms of quality, it cannot be compared with the past.

There is such a group of people to support, and at the same time there are businessmen to help, the implementation of economic policies is very in place, there is a strange wealth in the world, the people are grateful to Dade, and the Son of Heaven is naturally full of praise, that is, in this year, the people finally opened their mouths to call the Son of Heaven today, the Son of Heaven learned, happy and almost cried, this is not easy, in the Han Dynasty, can be called so by the people, not much.

It took 22 years to get this title.

However, unfortunate things also happened, of course, not in China, because the temple issued a large number of coins, the merchants had a plan in their hearts, these merchants, really treacherous, they did not carry goods, but with several carts of coins, have gone to Jiaozhou, Ningzhou, Xizhou, Xinzhou, Hezhou and other regions, trade, they used the previous price, a large number of foreign goods.

Even more generous than before, those gentiles saw that the Han merchants were so generous, they were also a little stunned, and happily sold all the goods, the merchants used a large number of coins at the same time, obtained countless goods, they sold the goods at a uniform price in the country, or directly stored, and wanted to sell them to the original owner, at first this naturally did not expose any risks.

A great deal of money poured into the Gentiles, but then, when the trade was done again, the Gentiles were astonished to find that they could not buy even three swords for the money they had for ten swords, and they were very angry, but the merchants did not care, and they told them that you would not suffer any loss, because the price of your goods had also risen.

Of course, if it is on weekdays, this is a good thing, but now, when they have a large number of coins in their hands, there is such a thing, so that several foreign states around the Han Dynasty have collapsed instantly, and they have accumulated a large number of depreciated coins in their hands, but they do not have a controller like Yuan Shao in their country, they want to barter, the Han merchants do not agree, if they want to trade, they must use Han money, otherwise, get out.

In a war without gunpowder, these cunning businessmen of the Han Dynasty directly transferred a crisis that should have been borne in the country to the surrounding countries, and the foreign countries suffered unjustified disasters, in the end, they couldn't figure out what was nothing, and similarly, Yuan Shao in China couldn't figure out why, how to do it, my Han was fine, but these neighbors around him suffered so much damage???

Outside Ningzhou, Su Shen, Ding Ling, directly broke out of civil strife, a large number of people went bankrupt, lost livestock, lost their family business, migrated to Ningzhou, the turmoil of the coin system, and they suddenly returned to the era of barter, and some people continued to trade with the Han at a high price, even if there were major losses, such a result naturally made the countries outside Ningzhou more turbulent.

In the end, in the name of protecting the Han merchants, Xu Rong directly mobilized the army and stationed in the two countries, helping the king to quell the civil strife and restore local order.

In Guishan, outside Xizhou, Anxi also suffered a major blow, and Anshan was better, but Nanguishan, which had long been broken, was not good, and there was civil strife, mutual conquest, and extreme chaos.

In the Hall of Houde, Taiwei Sun Jian sat in front of the Son of Heaven, looking a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, why can't you send troops? This is the best time to annex several foreign nations!! ”

Sun Jian shouted helplessly, since the civil strife in foreign countries, he began to play the Son of Heaven, hoping that the southern army would go to Guishan, and Xu Rong would directly occupy Sushen and other areas, but the Son of Heaven just refused to agree.

"Wentai..."The Son of Heaven said with a smile as he squinted his eyes.

"It's okay to send troops, but you have to help quell the civil strife, and you can't conquer them."

"Ah??? We help them??? Why??? ”

The shocked Sun Jian let out a roar like Zhang Yide.

"I, I'm a stupid person, there's really no way to make so many people rich, let so many regions prosper, I can't do it, but what about it, the Han needs all kinds of materials, the prudent bow and arrow, the cattle and sheep of Ding Ling, the cotton of Guishuang, the Han needs it very much...."

"You say, just like this time, the people of the Han Dynasty are rich, and they are not the ones who suffer, but if you conquer those areas... The money given to the people is not enough... Plus where you need to manage... Wouldn't it be worse... It's better to send an army to garrison and use their materials to feed the people of my Han Dynasty, I don't care about others, as long as I can make the people of Han rich and strong, this is enough..."

"They don't have to join my big man, they just need to listen to the big man..."

The Son of Heaven squinted his eyes and whispered.

"Of course, some important areas, ship ports, still have to be controlled in the hands of the Great Han..."
