The marriage of the grandson is really eyebrow-raising, and it has been said that Liu Yi personally handled it, but to be honest, the relationship between him and his grandson is actually far less close than that with his own children, after all, almost all of their childhood was spent listening to Liu Yi's legend, and Liu Yi really didn't spend much time with them.

During this time in Chang'an, although Liu Yi also went to the court, he rarely participated in discussions, he has been letting go of political affairs for more than ten years, and he does not know much about the current state of the court, and even in the court except for a few old ministers, they are all some fresh faces, old people, friends, political enemies, most of them are ancient, even if they are still alive, even if they are political enemies, Liu Yi looks very kind, after all, people of the same era, can live until now, there are really not many.

When it's okay, Liu Yi will take his wife to Yilanxuan and other places to see, now there are a lot of entertainment projects in Chang'an, of course, also look at young girls, men, no matter what age they are, for young and beautiful women, even if they don't want to happen, they want to take a second look, this is not a bad habit, Lu Lingqi will not care, and will even discuss with Liu Yi which woman is better looking or something.

After all, she has lived all her life, and Lu Lingqi knows very well what her man's personality is.

In the seventeenth year of Yanxi (253 AD), Liu Yi took his wife and a large amount of money to go to the Western Regions rail car, more than 100 billion money, just with the current rail car, it takes hundreds of cars to pull, and in order to protect these, there are also special troops accompanying them, there are tens of thousands of people and horses alone, and two generals of the younger generation of the Han Dynasty are accompanying them.

The road from Chang'an to Dawan has been built in that year, this road, mainly to lay rails, is not troublesome, plus the production of rails, can be paved in three years at most, the most important is the other three roads, but also to strengthen the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions, from Chang'an to Tianshan, and one from Chang'an to Dunhuang, as for the last one, it is from Chang'an to Luoyang to Yuyang, Beiping area.

Today's conditions for the Han Dynasty are only enough to build these three.

Liu Yi set up smelters in Dunhuang, Zhangye, Fufeng and Hanoi, and began casting rails.

In the years that he was not in the Western Regions, some things have happened in the Western Regions, that is, Daqin, that is, the great prince of the fallen horse, led the army to come to the door, firstly, he wanted to completely kill his younger brother to prevent future troubles, and secondly, to see the strength of the Great Han.

Liu Yi didn't know exactly how this battle was fought, but he only knew that more than 50,000 of the 100,000 troops were left behind and sent to various places as miners to mine, and the eldest prince was now imprisoned in the prison in Chang'an, as for Luther and the little prince did not return to Daqin, they are now authentic Han people.

When Liu Yi returned to Dawan, he saw Luthor once, and the Chinese language has been smuggled, Dawan has now become an important town of the Han Dynasty in the West, and the traders from all over the world who come and go to the Han Dynasty will basically go here, which has also created the prosperity of Dawan, and at the same time Liu Yi established the Great Wall in Dawan, which also blocked the cavalry of Kangju and Guishan, both of which are nomadic countries, similar in nature to Xianbei and Xiongnu, but far less powerful than Xianbei and Xiongnu at the beginning.

And with the continuous convenience of transportation, the Silk Road has also become one of the main sources of wealth of the Han Dynasty every year, because of the popularity of glass, it is impossible to think that it is impossible to exchange gold and silver with a pile of glass beads like Fusang and Sanhan, but the fired glass products still have a good market in the Western Regions.

Today's Western Regions is different from the Western Regions of the past, the former Western Regions are now Xizhou, and the Western Regions now refers to the territory west of Dawan.

This time, Liu Yi stayed in the Western Regions for ten years, from the seventeenth year of Yanxi to the twenty-seventh year of Yanxi, the three railways in the Western Regions were completed, and Liu Yi also built thirteen trains in these ten years.

The railway from Dawan to Chang'an has been opened, Liu Chan has personally taken the train to Dawan once, the steam train plus the attribute blessing, the speed is about one hundred and fifty miles per hour, from Chang'an to Dawan, more than 6,000 miles, it can be reached in less than two days, faster than the wooden rail car from Chang'an to Luoyang, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Chan is very supportive of Liu Yi's construction of the railway from Luoyang to Beiping, and even hopes to open another railway from Chang'an to Xuzhou, but Liu Yi refused.

Nowadays, the four railways in Dahan are already the limit, no matter how much, Dahan can't bear it at present, and the emergence of the railway, the corresponding decree has to be issued, and after people understand the importance of the railway, it is suitable for large-scale laying, in order to replace today's wooden tracks.

After all, the wooden rail in the early years, the life span is actually not high, even if there is an attribute blessing, it will have to be replaced in ten years at most, and the wooden rail in Shuzhong has now been replaced twice, but it is not presided over by Liu Yi, but presided over by Liu Yi's disciples.

In the twenty-seventh year of Yanxi (263 AD), when Liu Yi arrived in Chang'an by train, Liu Chan personally took his ministers out to greet him, but looking at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Yi helplessly found that there were fewer familiar faces, Pang Tong died of illness four years ago, Liu Yi did not even rush back, Zhuge Liang is now also lying on a hospital bed, and he has not been to the court for a long time.

Cui Zhouping also died three years ago, which was the last journey sent by Liu Yi personally, this time, Liu Yi rushed back immediately after the completion of the Western Regions Railway, and he also heard that Zhuge Liang was critically ill and immediately embarked on the way home.

"Taifu, don't be polite!" Liu Chan saw that Liu Yi was about to salute, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years, and I am very relieved to see Your Majesty's strong body." Liu Yi took Liu Chan's hand and said with a smile.

"Taifu has worked hard for me all these years, and I am really pleased to see Taifu so healthy." Liu Chan looked at Liu Yi, who didn't look much older than himself, and muttered a little in his heart, this Liu Yi's family doesn't seem to be very old, Liu Yi, who is already eighty-four years old, how can he feel that sixty-four is a little big? I heard that when the jade seal was made, this Taifu also folded his life for twenty years, and Liu Chan didn't understand how Liu Yi did it.

At the moment, while accompanying Liu Yi to go back, he asked for some health regimens.

"Your Majesty, over the years, the intercourse has been a little excessive." Liu Yi glanced at Liu Chan's somewhat dark eye bags and said with a smile.

"Uh...... Don't talk about this, Taifu will return to the court this time, but he will have to stay for a while. Liu Chan smiled a little embarrassedly.

"The old minister does have plans to rest and rest, there are not many old friends in the court, the old minister came back this time, first, he misses His Majesty, and second, he also wants to see Kong Ming." Liu Yi sighed.

"The prime minister is indeed a little ...... now," Liu Chan sighed when he heard this.

After catching up with Liu Chan, Liu Yi went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's been hard for my father to get up these days, don't blame me." It was Zhuge Zhan who received Liu Yi, this kid has been with Liu Yi for two years, and now he is an official and a court captain, and he can worship Jiuqing at the age of only thirty-six, and he has some relationship with Zhuge Liang, but in terms of ability, he is not as talented as his Lao Tzu, but he is not really incompetent, but his personality is a little arrogant.

"Okay, I've been friends with Kong Ming for nearly sixty years, and I still care about these false courtesies?" Liu Yi shook his head and said: "As long as he can still move, with his character, he will not lose his manners." ”

Zhuge Zhan sent Liu Yi to Zhuge Liang's room, and before he entered the house, he could smell a strong smell of medicine, which was not too good.

"Bo Yuan is here." Zhuge Liang slowly got up with Zhuge Zhan's support, looked at Liu Yi's face, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Bo Yuan is indeed the longest-lived among our people. ”

"I told you a long time ago that you should delegate power when you should delegate it, you are tired to death, and you are only in your eighties." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"According to what you say, what about Shi Yuan?" Zhuge Liang couldn't cry or laugh, people live for seventy years, and he is now eighty-two, isn't this called a short life?

"He's drinking!" Liu Yi said angrily: "Listen to me, how can you not even see the last side?" Liu Yi said angrily.

"I can see the revival of the Han Dynasty in our hands, the people are rich and the country is strong, and I have no regrets in this life." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"When the old general Hansheng went, he said that the limit was coming, I told him that the days were still long, but he was gone, and then the sister-in-law of the Deng family said this, and I also said that the days were still long, and the result was ......" Liu Yi leaned on Zhuge Liang's bed, looked at the mosquito net and smiled: "When Yunchang and Yide went to them, I felt very uncomfortable and cried, and then Hansheng, Zilong, Shuzhi, Shiyuan, and Zhouping returned one by one, and they were also uncomfortable, but they seemed to be numb, today you have to tell me that time is running out, I will not persuade again, and it will not be useful to say, The number of life expectancy is not something you and I can determine, so why deceive yourself? ”

"At least you should be relieved and relieved, right?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"You need me to comfort me?" Liu Yi asked rhetorically: "Why don't I light a seven-star lantern for you and see if there is a way to lend him a few hundred years of life for you and God." ”

"You, how come you were so good at talking in middle age, and when you get old, you feel like you were in Wollongong, and you don't have to hide your mouth?" Zhuge Liang searched left and right, found his feather fan and said with a smile: "The fan you gave me has been replaced five times, and there is one thing I don't know." ”

"Then ask." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"The fan you gave Shiyuan always has a different effect, but I have changed so much, but the effect doesn't seem to change, why is this?" Zhuge Liang fumbled with the fan and asked.

"This effect is for you! Don't want to change! Liu Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Zhuge Liang took a fan and fanned Liu Yi, and the wind blew Liu Yi's hair fluttering, but his expression was extremely calm, Zhuge Liang fanned himself many times, but it was the first time to see others like this, and he couldn't help laughing.

"What's so ridiculous?" Liu Yi asked calmly.

"I finally know why others are holding back when they see me in the first place." Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Boring." Liu Yi shook his head and said disdainfully.

"What are your plans for the future?" Zhuge Liang thought it was quite interesting, but he didn't say anything more, just asked.

"After the construction of the railway, I plan to take my wife to the countries of the Western Regions to have a look, I always hear about it, but I have never been able to see the exotic scenery with my own eyes, I have learned a lot of languages over the years, and I can just use it." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"I want to see it too, but I'm afraid I won't have a chance." Zhuge Liang said with a bit of yearning.

In recent years, with the continuous maturity of the Han navigation industry and the trade of the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty's perception of the world has also been different, the world is very big, and the Han is only one of the corners, the latest map drawn, in the sea south of Yizhou, there is also a piece of land, but the specific situation is not very clear now.

"It's hard to say about other places, Dawan, I can take you to see it, and it will take less than two days to arrive." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"No, I still have some things to write, although the things you have made are good, but you need to keep up with the law, otherwise it will become a source of chaos, I have to remind Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"You, live for yourself all your life." Liu Yi sighed.

"After that, let's do it." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

"Naturally, there are young people to do it, why do you want to follow it, it's not that there is no one in the big man!" Liu Yi said speechlessly.

"I know, but I'm always worried that they won't be able to do it well." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"It's good if you're happy." Liu Yi said helplessly, he persuaded Zhuge Liang all his life, and now he is too lazy to persuade him, and it is useless to persuade him.

The two talked for most of the day before it ended.

Zhuge Liang didn't survive this year after all, and in the winter, he passed away after finishing the new canon.

Liu Yi didn't cry this time, but after Zhuge Liang's funeral, he carried a pot of wine and sat in front of Zhuge Liang's grave for a day, chattering about a lot of the past, and the next day, he said goodbye to Liu Chan and went to Luoyang to start a new railway.

Although the construction of the railway here has not yet begun, when it was in the Western Regions, it had already begun to smelt and cast rails, and it was Liu Yi's disciple who built the Yongdao.

Compared with the railway in the Western Regions, this one is much faster, but it is also a lot more complicated, there are many counties and counties along the way, not only one, and the train alone, you have to prepare twenty columns, more than the Western Regions combined, and there are several bridges across the Yellow River, although it will be much simpler than the Yangtze River Bridge, but it is also a big project.

Ma Jun has been building dikes in various places over the years, and Liu Yi has the name of master and apprentice, and has also formally apprenticed to the teacher, but Ma Jun's development, Liu Yi basically does not care, let it play freely, these years from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, there are dikes designed by Ma Jun in various places, which has made a lot of contributions to the Han combing waterways.

This time, the railway is five in parallel, although there is no Xizhou railway, but the actual cost of iron ore is also a lot.

It was not until the 28th year of Yanxi (264 AD) that the railway network was completed in the 36th year of Yanxi (272 AD).

"Taifu!" Chang'an, the Imperial Palace, seventy-year-old Liu Chan took Liu Yi's hand and said, "Why do you want to resign?" ”

"What should be done, all done." Liu Yi took Liu Chan's hand and said: "In fact, when Kong Ming went, the minister already had the heart to pay tribute, but the railway had not yet been completed, and the minister had to finish it, and now what he can do for the Han Dynasty has also been done. ”

"I ......" Liu Chan coughed, looked at Liu Yi's appearance younger than himself, and said with a wry smile: "I regret that I shouldn't listen to Taifu's good words, over the years, my body has been declining day by day, I'm afraid I don't have a few years to live, I let the eldest grandson inherit the emperor's business, although there are many civil and military forces in this Manchu Dynasty, but I trust Taifu the most, I want Taifu to assist the government." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is unwilling, but the minister has ignored the government for many years, even if the minister stays, he can't help the prince." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "Moreover, now in the court, how many people still remember the old bones of Lao Chen?" Your Majesty......"

After a moment of silence, Liu Yi took Liu Chan's hand and sighed: "The minister sent away the first emperor, sent away Yun Chang, Yide, Kong Ming, Shiyuan and Zhou Ping, the minister really didn't want to send His Majesty, really, the minister wanted to accompany his wife in the last period, look at the outside world, and hope that His Majesty would approve it." ”

Liu Chan sighed and nodded bitterly.

A few days later, Liu Yi, escorted by Liu Chan, Liu Cheng, Liu Ming and others, stepped on the train to Dawan, Dawan was the first stop, and he was going to Luoma, Guishuang and other countries to have a look.

……

Many years later, at the pier on the shore of Yueyang Lake, an elderly couple got off the boat and looked at the familiar Yueyang City.

"How many years has it been?" Liu Yi looked at the lady beside him and asked with a smile.

"Forty-eight years of Yanxi, right?" Lu Lingqi said with some uncertainty.

"Yeon-hee?" The young man passing by looked at the couple suspiciously: "Uncle, the name of the year was changed in the thirty-seventh year of Yanxi, and now it is the third year of Taisho." ”

"Oh...... Taisho? Liu Yi nodded, he had never heard the era name, looked at Yueyang City in front of him and smiled: "Hasn't it changed much?" ”

While saying, Liu Yi set up a booth next to the dock and said, "I haven't been here for a long time." ”

"Uncle, ...... are you?" the young man looked at Liu Yi and said suspiciously.

"The old man is a carpenter, carving gadgets to make a living." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Oh? At your age, you still have to come out to beg for a living? What about your son? The boy wondered.

"It's gone." Liu Yi sighed, he hasn't come back for many years, if his son is alive, he will be eighty, right?

"I'm sorry, why don't you carve one for me?" A flash of pity flashed in the young man's eyes, and he crouched down.

"Okay, what's the carving?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Just carve a name tag, my name tag is old, and I want to change it to a new one." The boy took off the name tag from his waist and smiled.

"Liu Dong? O royal family. Liu Yi glanced at the name tag, took out a wooden block and carved it quickly.

"No, my ancestor was the master Liu Yi back then, and my father-in-law's craftsmanship is okay, and it is not bad with my grandfather." The young man looked at Liu Yi's carver and said with some surprise.

Lu Lingqi on the side trembled when she heard this, looked at the young man and said, "Your old grandfather is ......"

"Today's prime minister, Liu Cheng, has been hidden in this Yueyang City, and the prime minister is only in vain." The boy smiled, and there was not much arrogance in his words.

"Not bad." Liu Yi nodded, the name brand had been made, but at the moment when the name brand was completed, a voice that had not appeared in his head for a long time suddenly sounded.

"Congratulations to the host, the skill has reached the extreme of the mundane, do you accept the position of the craftsman god?"

Level 9?

Liu Yi was a little stunned, and it wasn't until the young man in front of him screamed a few times that he came back to his senses, and handed him the wooden card apologetically.

"How much?" The young man looked at the name tag in his hand, liked it quite much, and took out the money bag and said.

"No need." Liu Yi shook his head.

"No, it has to be given." The young man shook his head, took out a silver five-baht coin from his front pocket and handed it to Liu Yidao.

"Thank you." Without the heart to pay attention to the silver five-baht coin, Liu Yi put away the stall and stood up, saying goodbye to the young man.

"Husband, Cheng'er......" Lu Lingqi pulled Liu Yi's arm.

"It's better not to see each other, don't disrupt his life." Liu Yi shook his head, and took Lu Lingqi to a secluded place to look at Dongting Lake quietly, but the system in his mind was called up by him.

What is a god?

"Immortality, eternal youth, ranking in the immortal class."

"What about my wife?" Liu Yi frowned.

"The merits and creations accumulated by the host in his first life are only enough for the host to transform into an ordinary person."

"Then I don't want it." Liu Yi shook his head silently, no longer paying attention to the sound of the system, just quietly accompanied his wife to look at the scenery of the lake, watching his friends and relatives leave, Liu Yi could hardly imagine what it would be like if he faced these endless lonely years alone?

After being silent for a long time, the system in his mind suddenly spoke again: "The host can also choose one person to share the merit and the power of creation, but it needs to go through the red dust washing to accumulate merit and the power of creation, is the host willing?" ”

Liu Yi didn't answer, just turned his head to look at Lu Lingqi: "Madam, I have a question." ”

"Huh?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.

"If there is a chance to live forever and rank in the immortal class, but there is only one lady, how will the lady choose?" Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi and asked seriously.

"Why did the husband ask this?" Lu Lingqi took Liu Yi's hand, shook her head and said, "If you don't have a husband, you are immortal, and it's just a dry time, what's the point?" The concubine would rather accompany her husband to the end of her life. ”

Looking at his wife's face, which was no longer beautiful, the smile on Liu Yi's face seemed to be light......
