The moonlight of the spring night is particularly charming, the silver moonlight shrouded in Beiping City is still a lively scene after the lights, there are still a large number of people on the street, all kinds of taverns, restaurants and even brothels and casinos are thriving, this scene is a rare scene in other cities in the Han Dynasty, under the concerted efforts of Liu Yi and a capable minister, now Beiping is not only the capital of the Han Dynasty, the economic and cultural center is located, and his night scene is also praised.

All this depends on the prosperity of the business of Beiping City, the west and south of the city have the largest fang market in the country, many merchants have built important branches here, and the warehouse in the east of the city is also the premier cargo distribution center of the Han Dynasty, under the careful management of the government, everything seems to be in order. Of course, the affluence of the people's life is the reason why Beiping is so lively, and ordinary people will only have some spare money to carry out some pastimes within their ability after the problem of food and clothing is solved.

Now Youzhou, commercial tax has accounted for nearly thirty percent of the total income, in this era is a rather terrifying number, coupled with the existence of Youzhou Academy, the first school of the Han Dynasty, Beiping City is the center of the world's scholars, and it is also a place where they must go when they travel, according to the statistics of the guards of each gate, the number of people from other places who enter Beiping every day is thousands, and the population of the city has reached 110,000 households and nearly 400,000 people, which is the crown of the Han states!

The direct effect of population increase is the prosperity of urban construction, from Liu Yi defeating Gongsun Zan to occupy Beiping to Fengying the Son of Heaven here as the capital of the Han Dynasty, until now Beiping City has been expanded three or four times, so that it can accommodate more people, showing the temperament and prosperity of the Son of Heaven to the Quartet. In addition to the recruited people and some of the prisoners who were strictly supervised, the army was the largest of them, and almost all the soldiers of the Youzhou Army had participated in the construction of the capital, which was also their pride.

In fact, when Liu Yi welcomed the Son of Heaven that day, many old ministers still had opinions on putting the capital in such a dangerous place in their hearts, but with Liu Yi's expedition to the east and west, and the surrender of foreign races one by one, the effectiveness of these remarks was minimized, and now the prosperity of Beiping City is an ironclad fact, even if Liu Yi's remarks last time he took the western capital Luoyang and moved back to his hometown were only a little bit of a star.

The ancients took the east as the top, and the imperial palace was located in the east of Beiping City, and a cadre of civil and military officials, including Liu Yi's hussar general's mansion, was also here, after all, there was something that was difficult to change in an era, and it was not that Lang Sheng could make adjustments by relying on his personal prestige, compared to other places in the city, there were many more soldiers patrolling in the east of the city than in the rest of the city, they were brightly clothed, disciplined, and meticulously defended the capital of the Han Dynasty at night.

It was not as noisy as the rest of the city, and the neat steps of the patrolling soldiers had a clearer frequency under the quiet night sky, but whenever they passed by a large mansion on the corner of Suzaku Street, they would always deliberately light this heavy footstep, and look at the red gate with a lot of reverence in their eyes, because this was the residence of the general's family, and in their hearts, the general who led them to victory and gave their families a healthy life was nothing less than a god-like figure!

In fact, in terms of Liu Yi's current identity and power, this mansion is not lenient, nor is it luxurious, Lang Sheng has always felt that the concept of home is still a little smaller and more warm, and with the prosperity and wealth under his rule, he also needs to set an example for everyone, sufficient treasury is used for the people of various states, used for the great cause of dominating the world, at least at this time, it should not become a capital for pleasure or showing off, which is also where those students in the academy admire the general.

As an orphan in a previous life, the warmth of the family in this life is something that Liu Yi cherishes very much, to be honest, he is now busy with his great business, and there are not many times when he can be at home at home, but after all the official duties are done every day, it is also one of his greatest enjoyments to go home and have a happy family reunion.

Just as Xu Shu Pang Tong said to Zhao Yun, it is also the unanimous judgment of several military advisors that Yuan Shu will risk his life to break through to Yuan Shao, so how to use this matter so that Liu Yi can get the greatest benefit from it is the focus of the detailed discussions in the past few days! However, Cai Yan's efforts have paid off a few days ago, Guo Jia has been married three days ago, and his wife is a distant niece in the Situ Yang Biao clan. Watching this man who leaned on the Great Wall to complete the major events of his life, Liu Yi also had a kind of satisfaction in his heart, and he did not bother Fengxiao in all his affairs in the past few days, so that he could easily enjoy the joy of being married.

In addition to this happy event, Pang Tong's news also made Liu Yi even more excited, these top talents are like treasures to him, once the two enter Beijing, he will definitely spare no effort to try to bring Feng Xiao under his command again. Today coincided with the arrival of Liu Du, the uncle in charge of commercial affairs in the family, so he also went home early and had a few drinks with his family with great interest.

At this time, the banquet has been over, there is a square table in the inner hall, Liu's mother, Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Mi Zhen sit in all directions, their pastime is Liu Yi's mahjong created on a whim during this time, although it is a gambling game, it can be regarded as the quintessence of China, and it is a good way to use it for recreation when you have nothing to do. However, it is obvious that the daughters of the Liu family accepted this new gadget from her husband's hand faster than Liu Yi expected, in his previous life, he only knew that some of the rules of mahjong were not proficient in this, and the women were attracted less than ten days after he explained, and they had to play for a moment almost every night, and the level soon surpassed the creator, especially Zhen Mi.

Seeing his mother and his wife and concubines playing with great interest, Liu Yi was also relieved in his heart, there was not much entertainment in this era, especially for women, and Liu Yi, who had been fighting abroad all the year round, had an unspeakable debt to his family in his heart, and it was a small compensation to let them have fun with this thing. Dressed in a Confucian shirt, he was sitting behind his mother at this time, playing the role of a staff officer for the old man, and from time to time he made some hidden gestures to the girls.

In a quiet room next to the inner hall, Fang Xian'er and Liu Du were cleaning up the complicated account books, these should have been Cai Yan's duties, but in her heart it was not as important as accompanying her mother-in-law, when she was in Luoyang, Liu Yi had asked Xian'er to learn this way, Fang Xian'er was even more excited to contribute to her husband, and she had been conscientious and meticulous for ten years. No matter what Liu Yi's identity is, he always has to live at home, and these are the standards by which people now measure a wife.

For Liu Du, the old man of the Liu family, Liu Yi and his wives and concubines are absolutely assured, and Liu Du has not failed to live up to this trust, the caravan of the Liu family is growing stronger and stronger under his operation, and now only in terms of Youzhou, its power is not far behind everyone, and there are many of them. The arrival of Miss Zhen has added a lot of bargaining chips to this already well-developed family business, Liu Du often sighs at the genius of their husband and wife, but Liu Yi's insight is completely related to future generations, and Zhen Mi has accumulated experience over the years, of course, she will definitely not do the job that belongs to Xian'er, she also knows how important this matter is in Fang Xian'er's heart in addition to her family.

In Liu Du's heart, there has always been a sense of gratitude to this young master, if it weren't for Liu Yi, he would be at most the account office of a small family, but now when it comes to his reputation, everyone in the business world knows it, and what is even more enviable is his relationship with the leaders of Wuhuan, Hu Yanbo, Hu Huahu and others are shouting as an uncle when they see him, and the wealth he can control in his hands is more than a hundred times more than before. It is precisely because of this that Liu Du will be more cautious, the young master has explained that the merchant must trade fairly, and he must not use his reputation to make money.

"Thirty thousand!" Looking at Liu Yi scratching his ears and cheeks, how could Zhen Mi's mind not see his intentions, seeing that the current card style and playing cards Liu Mu is doing the same thing, if she can make the old man happy, of course she will not hold on.

However, although Liu's mother is very interested in this, after all, she is far less fast to learn as fast as her daughter-in-law, and now she has stopped, Hu is 147000 with 360,000, but the old man can only see 147, and he did not say anything about the 30,000 played by Zhen Mi, which made Zhen Mi on the other side a little puzzled. Liu Yi was engrossed in his mother's place, and he didn't notice that Mi Zhen of the previous family was also waiting for the card 30,000, and Mi Zhen was just about to fold the card, but it had to be said that Lang Sheng's reaction was fast, just when Mi Zhen was about to fall, he coughed suddenly and took his mother's 30,000 and 20,000 aside.

Mi Zhen's reaction is naturally not slow, Zhen Mi's card skills have always been the highest among the sisters, how can there be no reason to release the cards at this time, plus Liu Yi's cough on the side, she immediately held her card: "Thank you, Sister Zhen, I will touch this 30,000 and I will be about to Hu." While taking out two 30,000 to touch, she also specially raised her voice, in fact, even if Zhen Mi can't come out, she is ready to put it on her mother-in-law.

"Wait, I also want this 30,000 cards, all of them, right, Yi'er." With the concerted efforts of her son and daughter-in-law, Liu's mother finally saw her own card, took the 30,000 yuan to her with a smile on her face, and asked Liu Yi quite carefully.

"Yes, yes, yes, Hu, you are still old-eyed and quick-witted, and my son hasn't seen it yet." At this time, Liu Yi had a heartless smile, and the women almost couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw that flattering look, it was rare for her husband to have such an innocent expression.

"Then you can calculate for me, and I can give some charity on the way to worship God tomorrow." Mother Liu obviously didn't see her son's tricks, and said happily, in fact, even if there are no such pastimes, as long as this son can be by her side, it is the greatest satisfaction.

"All of them, Mi'er has six hundred dollars, Yan'er Zhen'er has three hundred dollars each, mother, this one is more than a thousand, come, give money." Liu Yi said busily.

At this time, he didn't know that his whimsical actions made the quintessence of the country in later generations have another rather powerful name, "General Liu's play".
