Most of the time, the scenery of Xizhou is similar, sitting in the moving rail car, looking out of the window, you may not see too many changes for several hours in a row, even if Xizhou is now a lot different than before, but it is too big, so big that sitting on the fastest rail car today, it will also make you feel that this road may go on forever, there is no end.

In the eleventh year of Xingyuan, the Han Dynasty changed its name to Yanxi, which is the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, strictly speaking, Xingyuan is only ten years, and then it is the first year of Yanxi (AD 238), which is an extraordinary era, perhaps for the whole world, this year is very peaceful.

But in this calm, in the vast northwest land, the steam engine began to appear in the major mines, replacing a large number of manpower, the production of various mineral deposits in the Han Dynasty also began to soar in this year, the iron ore, coal and copper ore excavated in a year are nearly ten times as much as in previous years, but the manpower invested is much less than in previous years, and the surplus people have begun to build Yongdao, from Dawan's Guishan Castle to Chang'an, the middle will pass through hundreds of cities as a connection, Yongdao is closed, However, it will leave small holes as exhaust holes.

No one knows why the Han Dynasty wanted to build this Yongdao, and even inside the Han Dynasty, no one knows why this Yongdao was built, but at the beginning of this year, a large amount of cement was transported to the Western Zhou Dynasty from all over the country, and the hundreds of cities along the Yongdao began to build new platforms, which is a new word, and no one knows what this thing is for, in order to connect the Yongdao.

In order to prevent the road from dividing the western regions, a large number of land bridges were built on both sides of the road to allow people on both sides to pass.

Because it is not a straight line, after the final calculation, the length of this road is 12,231 miles, most people in the court or can say all, do not know much about what Liu Yi wants the court to open his mouth to ask for tens of billions of money, but Liu Chan finally agreed, Liu Yi has not made a mistake in the past few decades, he believes that this time, what Liu Yi wants to do must be for the Han, he is willing to believe Liu Yi.

In this year, although the Three Kingdoms saw that there was nothing to do, but it was not right to say that it was completely peaceful, and since the first month, Sima Yi, the Taiwei of Wei, was edicted to attack Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, and Gongsun Yuan sent envoys to the Han Dynasty and Eastern Wu for help.

The Han Dynasty took Ma Dai as the general, sent troops from Dingxiang in Yunzhou, and prepared to attack Youzhou, but was blocked by Wuhuan and Xianbei, even if Liu Yi surrendered the Xiongnu and exterminated the power of the tribe, but for the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes on the grassland, it was obviously more friendly to Cao Wei.

In addition, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has fought with Xianbei several times in the Hexi Corridor and Dingxiang, and the two sides have accumulated a lot of grudges, and now with the Western Regions taking over, the number of cavalry of the Han Dynasty is increasing year by year, and they are no longer afraid of the cavalry attacks of Xianbei and Wuhuan, and their attitude towards Xianbei and Wuhuan is becoming more and more tough, but Cao Wei has been uniting all the forces that can be united over the years.

However, compared to this, Liu Yi is more concerned about the other two things, burning when the Qiang king Mangzhong uprising, but was quickly extinguished by Zhao Yun, and in this battle, there is a name that has to be mentioned, Liu Cheng in this battle, designed to besiege Burning Dangqiang, three battles with 3,000 captured 30,000 Burning Dangdang surrendered troops, and ordered Burning Dangqiang to kill each other internally, Burning Dangqiang King was beheaded by Zhu Yi, offering a human head, burning Dangqiang was completely included in the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Cheng was also named General Anxi for his merits, the twenty-year-old General Anxi, the Marquis of Changmen Ting, can be regarded as the youngest Marquis of the New Han Dynasty, that is, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, who were not named Marquis at this age.

Zhao Yun decided to marry his sixteen-year-old daughter to Liu Cheng, and Liu Chan personally acted as a matchmaker, and Liu Yi returned to Chang'an this time to preside over the marriage.

As for the other thing that interested Liu Yi, it happened in the Wei State.

In the second year of Wei Jingchu, the queen of Wei called for the doctor Nansheng Mi and the city Niu Li to visit the Great Wei, offering ten men and women and banbu, and as a return gift, Cao Rui named the Wei Wei king, the difficult to promote the rice for the rate of the good general, the city Niu Li for the rate of the good school captain.

The thing itself is nothing, and this is how the exchange between countries came about, but does this mean that the route from the Han to the Wa Kingdom has been found?

If it is developed, the steam engine can still be used in navigation, which is much lower than the cost of the train, after the unification of the world, you can develop ideas in this regard, the invention of the steam engine, also means that the emergence of steel warships will be realized.

"What is the husband thinking?" Lu Lingqi turned her head and looked at Liu Yi curiously.

"I'm thinking that the stinky boy who ran away from home at the age of twelve and went incognito is now going to have a family." Liu Yi came back to his senses, looked at his wife and said with a smile: "Madame, have you noticed, I don't know when it started, this time flies so fast!" ”

"It's the husband who is too busy." Lu Lingqi looked at the growing crow's feet in the corners of Liu Yi's eyes, even if he grew old slowly, he would still be old.

"It's good to be busy, in life, you should always leave something behind, and you won't live in vain." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled.

"The New Year is approaching, this year's New Year, our family should be reunited, and the concubine also wants to meet my grandson." Lu Lingqi said with a smile.

"Eight years old, huh?" Liu Yi straightened his waist and asked.

"After the New Year's pass, I will be nine years old." Lu Lingqi shook her head and said.

"Will he recognize us?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

"I haven't seen it yet." Lu Lingqi was a little amused.

"I always feel that it hasn't been long since I gave birth to Ming'er, and now that Ming'er has a child, what does it feel like in my heart...... It's complicated. Liu Yi shook his head and sighed.

In my memory, I haven't gotten along much with my daughter, but in the blink of an eye, my daughter's children are already as old as my daughter back then.

"It's not that the husband doesn't have much time to spend with her?" Lu Lingqi glared at Liu Yi angrily: "When my daughter was young, her husband was rarely at home. ”

"yes." Liu Yi sighed, he still remembered the scene when he went out, his daughter hugged his thighs and refused to part, and now looking back, he was inexplicably mentally arithmetic in his heart.

Shaking his head, Liu Yi didn't want to talk about these uncomfortable things anymore, looked at his wife and smiled: "You said that Zilong looks like a decent person on weekdays, but he actually has a sixteen-year-old daughter, and he can't be a real person." ”

Zhao Yun took a concubine more than ten years ago, at that time the Han army had not yet entered Guanzhong, and Zhao Yun was stationed in Jingnan, so it should be the concubine taken at that time.

"Husband, do you know who that concubine is?" Lu Lingqi asked funny.

"Who?" Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi blankly: "I know? ”

Lu Lingqi nodded.

Liu Yi frowned, he didn't have many women in contact, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't expect it, looking at his wife's smiling eyes, Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "Madame, let's say it directly." ”

"Do you remember Zhao Fan when your husband swept the four counties and met him in Guiyang?" Lu Lingqi asked with a smile.

Liu Yi thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember that he was a matchmaker for his sister-in-law at that time, it's really funny......"

Speaking of this, Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi with some surprise: "Fan? ”

"Hmm." Lu Lingqi smiled and nodded, looked at Liu Yi's appearance, and said with a smile: "Does the husband have any regrets?" ”

Liu Yi smashed his mouth, speaking of which, he also had some contact with that woman, but it was many years ago, and he even forgot the other party's appearance, he only remembered that she was a very beautiful woman, not under her own wife, seeing Lu Lingqi looking at herself with a smile, she shook her head and said: "I forgot everything, what do you regret?" At my age, how could I think about this? ”

"Didn't the husband think about the group of wives and concubines?" Lu Lingqi said curiously, not to mention the current Liu Yi, even when she was in Mocheng, I don't know how many girls wanted to be concubines for Liu Yi.

"Naturally, I thought about it." Liu Yi did not shy away from it, and nodded very calmly, to say that he had no idea at all, it was a lie.

"Then why ......" Lu Lingqi's expression didn't change much, but the temperature in the carriage seemed to have dropped a lot at this moment.

"What's so angry, the old husband and wife are back." Liu Yi pulled his wife and said with a smile: "I'm not a saint, it's normal to have this idea, it's just that I'm worried about my wife's sadness, and second, I'm too busy, I'm busy, I don't have that thought, and now I have both children and daughters, and I have nothing to regret." ”

Lu Lingqi originally had some small emotions, but when she heard this, her heart couldn't help but soften, at least the first thing her husband thought of was her own feelings, and over the years, Liu Yi seems to have not stopped, at first he was engaged in construction in Jingzhou, and then he followed to Shuzhong to help fight the war and engage in construction, and then finally Shuzhong was pacified, and then ran back to Jingzhou to engage in construction and war.

When Nanyang was defeated and the construction of Jingzhou was started, Liu Yi went to Yunnan again.

Then there was Guanzhong, the second capital was built, the track was built, then the Hetao, Xiliang, and then the Western Regions.

It seems that Liu Yi has been busy in his thirty-year career, and the whole Han can have the current scene, which can be said to be built by his husband.

In such a busy situation, the husband still has to spend time with his family and children, and it seems that he does not have time to communicate with other women, and the most idle days are probably only in Jingzhou.

Thinking about it like this, Lu Lingqi suddenly felt a little sorry for her husband, a dignified man, she seems to be busy building a big man and developing a big man all her life, and she doesn't even have the energy to find one more woman, in fact, Lu Lingqi understands very well that even if Liu Yi really has a group of wives and concubines, although she will have grievances, it is impossible to stop it, this is the norm in this year.

Sometimes, I even hope that Liu Yi will find a woman, at least don't let himself be so busy.

"How can a concubine be so loved by her husband?" Lu Lingqi silently leaned on Liu Yi's side, looking at the passing scenery outside the window like a dream, and suddenly hoped that this road would go on forever, and there would never be an end......
