The construction of Guihua County, according to Xu Shu's previous plan, is equivalent to being divided into two parts, the big city is responsible for the government, and the castles outside the city are under the responsibility of the Tuoba Department. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that is to say, the big city Yiliang official government pays for it, and the small castle is paid by the Tuoba Department itself.

As for the construction of the Naturalization City, Liu Zhang and other Yiliang officials bet on the profits of several factories. To this end, Liu Zhang asked the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to study and figure out that dairy cows, dairy horses, dairy sheep and other breeds, whether they are introduced or cultivated by themselves, and then delivered to the Tuoba Department for breeding. In addition, the Academy of Engineering is required to study wool textile technology. This is a new topic proposed by Liu Zhang to the Academy of Engineering Sciences. If the wool weaving technology is mature, then the wool of the grassland will be equivalent to the brocade in Shu, and it will become a pillar industry. To this end, Liu Zhang also instructed the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide the herdsmen to raise more sheep, so as to facilitate sheep shearing and knitting sweaters.

The vigorous construction of the naturalized county gradually kicked off.

All of this happened under Yang Xiu's nose, but Yang Xiu didn't know anything about it.

After the banquet that day, Yang Xiu looked for Liu Zhang a few more times.

His task was to urge Liu Zhang to go to the Western Regions as soon as possible and rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, but every time the guards said that Liu Zhang was unwell, and later said that Liu Zhang had gone to naturalize and completely hung Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu later came up with reluctance, and simply came to find Liu Zhang every day, with the intention of not giving up until the goal was achieved. Yang Xiu worked so hard, it was really that he praised Haikou in the court, in front of the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao, and said a big thing, saying that as soon as he came out, he would definitely let Liu Zhang go to the Western Regions obediently.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang doesn't have much interest in the Western Regions at all now.

Liu Zhang's current focus is on the naturalization of the Tuoba Department, and the other is thinking about when to return to Chengdu. Liu Zhang didn't even want to take this naturalization.

The Western Regions, ranked in Liu Zhang's plan, is very low.

Cao Cao wanted Liu Zhang to go to the Western Regions, and then he could rest assured that he would show his strength, but Liu Zhang himself lacked interest in the Western Regions.

However, the situation changed because of a piece of news.

Just after Liu Zhang arranged to stop many matters in Dangdang Guihua County, just as Liu Zhang was about to return to Chengdu, news came from the Western Regions: Ma Chao was defeated and disappeared.

Ma Chao was defeated.

The exact reason for this is unclear, but there are several theories.

One said that Ma Chao was assassinated and injured, which coincided with a sneak attack by the Western Regions coalition forces, so he was defeated.

One said that the Huns participated in the war in large numbers and intervened in the war in the Western Regions, and Ma Chao was defeated because he was accidentally ambushed.

Originally, Ma Chao was defeated, and Liu Zhang didn't care too much, but recently, news kept coming from Dunhuang, saying that it was at the border and found a lot of Hun cavalry.

This news is the root cause of Yiliang's attention in the end.

If the Western Regions were occupied by the Huns, or became the Huns' sphere of influence, then Liangzhou would have trouble sleeping.

As a result, the affairs of the Western Regions were once again put on the agenda.

And at this moment, a major event happened to happen in the east, that is, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan and was called the Zhong family.

Yuan Shu's act of death immediately aroused the voice of many princes, and even Liu Zhang, who also published a public document, as well as the court above, severely criticized and condemned Yuan Shu's great rebellion and rebellion, and demanded that the court immediately send troops to crusade. In order to reassure the imperial court to boldly exterminate Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang finally decided to personally take people to the Western Regions to rebuild order in the Western Regions.

Yuan Shu may have taken the wrong medicine, so he chose to embark on this road of quick death.

Sun Ce was the first to fall into the well, and Sun Ce immediately announced that he would get rid of the Yuan Shu group, declare his independence, and did not recognize Yuan Shu's Dazhong, and declared that he was incompatible with Yuan Shu.

followed by Yuan Shu's eldest brother Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao issued a statement to the public, saying that Yuan Shu would be expelled from the family, removed him from the genealogy, and did not recognize Yuan Shu as a descendant of the Yuan family.

Then there are Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and other verbal and written criticisms.

At the same time that Liu Zhang announced that he was going to the Western Regions, the court presided over by Cao Cao issued a public document on the crusade against the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, calling on all princes to jointly crusade against Yuan Shu and destroy the rebellion.

And the most positive response is Sun Ce and Liu Bei.

The east is turbulent, but Liu Zhang, who is in the west, has begun to really prepare to go to the Western Regions.

On this day, Liu Zhang rarely found Yang Xiu and met Yang Xiu. Comrade Yang Xiu has been coming to Liangzhou for many days, and I really thank you for the flowers I have been waiting for, because I have been waiting from summer to autumn.

"Dezu, I invite you to come today to officially inform you that we have studied and decided that we will go to the Western Regions in the near future to rebuild order in the Western Regions." As soon as Liu Zhang saw Yang Xiu, he directly told him his decision to go to the Western Regions.

"That's great, then I can reply to the court, and I can go back to the errand?"

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to reply to the court, so you can rest assured. However, your errand is not over yet, I applied with the imperial court, and you have to follow us to the Western Regions. ”

"Me? Why? I have no power to tie the chicken, and I don't know anything about the characters and customs of the Western Regions, what can I do? I can't help you at all, so don't I make a mess? ”

"Dezu, you are useless, but you are a useless scholar, you are a literati. You know, when we go to the Western Regions this time, the important thing is not how sharp the swords in our hands are, but how romantic our literati are! ”

"Huh?! Envoy-sama, you're joking, aren't you? ”

"I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh at all. Do you know why the Western Regions have not been kingly transformed for a long time and have not returned to China for a long time? It's because you literati go to the Western Regions too rarely, and too few go to spread my Chinese culture. What do we go to the Western Regions a lot? It is a woman, a woman who kisses her; It is a warrior, a warrior who kills; It is a merchant, a merchant who must be compared; But there are few literati who go, and they went to Ban Dingyuan, and they also went to kill people, turning themselves into soldiers and going to the Western Regions to kill people. Is there anyone who really goes to the Western Regions to do the work of education? ”

"My lord, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, how can you educate. The language is not understood, and the chickens and ducks speak, so why bother. Besides, when it comes to the brilliance of the article and the merit of education, apart from you, who in the world dares to live on it, and if you go to the Western Regions in person, where do you still need us mediocre people? ”

"Am I that good? Is this really how the people of the world think of me? Liu Zhang listened very coolly, the sycophants of the literati are indeed extraordinary.

"Of course it's amazing." Yang Xiu said, taking out a newspaper from his sleeve, "This is a new newspaper of the Han Dynasty not long ago, which has the high opinion of making you talk about heroes." What you said is that there is no first in the text, because the first is to make you, Lord Jun. (To be continued.) )
