Chapter 92: The Way Forward

It was late at night, Ye Zhao came back with a smell of wine, and after returning to the room, he fell asleep on the collapse.

Liu Wei supported her chin, groped Ye Zhao's angular face with her bare hands, and her eyes were a little resentful.

In the past two years, as Ye Zhao entered the Guanzhong, his career began to flourish, and the leisurely days in Shuzhong began to go forever, although for Ye Zhao, this is a good thing, but for women, they have to suffer from often staying alone in empty houses.

Sometimes, Liu Wei thinks that if Ye Zhao hadn't entered Shu and the Han family hadn't declined, perhaps, he and Ye Zhao were still living a happy life in Luoyang City, right?

It's just that this thought is just thinking about it, he knows that his husband is a person who does great things, and it is impossible to be too nostalgic for this gentle country.

In fact, Liu Wei feels that she is already very happy, Ye Zhao is not very interested in women, it has been almost 20 years since she first met in Luoyang, but the women around Ye Zhao have basically not changed, Xin'er was accepted before her, and later Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang also have an emotional foundation with Ye Zhao.

As a princess, Liu Wei knows very well that with Ye Zhao's current status, the women around her, let alone four, are not too much.

But Ye Zhao has never mentioned such a thing, let alone looking for a maid in the same room, although he has Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang successively, his love for himself has never changed.

The lively girl in the past is now over thirty years old, and her son Ye Zheng is thirteen years old after the New Year, after coming back this time, Liu Wei found that Ye Zhao's cultivation of Ye Zheng was much stricter, not only to learn all kinds of knowledge, but also to receive all kinds of training, listen to Ye Zhao said, after the New Year, Ye Zheng will be sent to the barracks and trained as a pawn.

This makes Liu Wei very distressed, the son of other people's families has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, why does his son have to go through so much tempering at a young age?

It's just that although Ye Zhao dotes on her in every way, when it comes to the child's education, it's useless for anyone to say.

These days, every time Ye Zheng comes back, there will be a few bruises on his body, which makes Liu Wei, a mother, extremely distressed, but helpless, not to mention that Ye Zhao does not agree, even if it is Ye Zheng, although he is exhausted by Ye Zhao's training every day, his spirit is getting more and more full, and he seems to be a little happy.

Liu Wei was so angry with the father and son that she had the intention to ignore Ye Zhao, but now looking at Ye Zhao's rare fatigue in his sleep, she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she finally sighed, groped Ye Zhao's face, sighed faintly, got into the quilt, leaned on Ye Zhao's warm embrace, and gradually closed her eyes.

……

Early the next morning, Ye Zhao and Liu Wei were awakened by a burst of screams.

"What happened?" Liu Wei looked out of the door with sleepy eyes.

Ye Zhao shook his head, he rarely had a hangover, he had a headache at the moment, listened carefully, couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Madame continues to sleep, I'll take a look." ”

After saying that, he put on his clothes and walked out.

In the courtyard of Taiwei's Mansion, Guo Jia was staring at Dian Wei, if his eyes could kill, at this moment Dian Wei might have been cut by a thousand knives, but Dian Wei's face was tested, and Guo Jia's murderous gaze was a pediatric for him.

"You reckless, return the stuff!" Guo Jia glared at Dian Weidao.

"It has been destroyed, the lord said, Wushi San is a forbidden thing, and it is not allowed to be used without authorization." Dian Wei glared at him.

Guo Jia frowned, and was about to say something, but when he saw Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai coming together, he had to give up, and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, this general is ...... him."

"I've heard it." Ye Zhao sighed, how come the two military divisions he recruited have this problem, this was the case with Xizhi before, and now Guo Jia is too, which made Ye Zhao have a little headache, rubbed his temples and said: "Fengxiao, do you know that if you take this thing for a long time, you won't live long?" ”

Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "The lord's words are wrong, you need to know that life is in the world, and it is only a few decades of time, if you ......"

"What's the point of living longer if you can't do what you want, right?" Ye Zhao smiled: "This is the same as Zhicai back then." ”

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly when he heard this, his Wushisan was forced to quit by Ye Zhao back then, and the pain of those days still has palpitations when I think about it.

Looking at Guo Jia's gaze, he also became a little sympathetic.

"I really appreciate Bonghyo's mentality of playing the world, but in life, happiness is not only obtained through such external objects, believe me, after quitting it, you will become happier." Ye Zhao patted Guo Jia's shoulder, and said earnestly: "During this time, Dian Wei will stay here to help you quit Wushisan, before Zhicai was also helped by Dian Wei, he has experience, and I will send five medical craftsmen with experience in this area to diagnose you every day." ”

Xi Zhicai also said on the side: "Yes, Fengxiao, the long pain of this matter is better than the short pain, yesterday when you were drunk, you have asked the doctor to diagnose you, if you don't quit this thing, I am afraid you will not live five years." ”

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, he suddenly wanted to regret it, if he hadn't defected to Ye Zhao but to Caocao, there would have been no such thing.

Five years? Fake, right?

"Dian Wei." Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei.

"In!" Dian Wei hugged his fist at Ye Zhao.

"During the period when Feng Xiao quit Wushisan, you can say anything as if you didn't hear it, and stop it from getting close to Wushisan, other than that, you don't need to care." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei agreed and stood directly behind Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was a little confused, it seemed that Ye Zhao was going to come for real, but ......

looked at Ye Zhao: "Lord, under the account of the lord at the beginning of Jiachu, he has not made an inch, and now is the time to make contributions......

"Disperse these five stones, you and I can work together for a long time in the future, it is possible for fifty years, why rush for a while." Ye Zhao smiled and encouraged: "Don't worry, I'm with you!" ”

Guo Jia looked at the back of Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai leaving in a daze, and was speechless for a while, it sounded like it was right, but ...... There was a feeling of discomfort in his chest, and every day at this time he had to have a meal of five stones with wine, and he had not eaten until now, and he felt like countless ants crawling all over his body.

Looking at Dian Wei, Guo Jia suddenly showed a gentle smile: "General Dian, speaking of which, you and I have first met, and we will work together in the future to catch up on the old days, so we should be close and close." ”

"When you're ready, Dian can drink with you, but now, don't talk to me." Dian Wei took a step back and looked at Guo Jia vigilantly, when Xi Zhi was only dispersing five stones, he also had this expression, and he wrapped Dian Wei into it several times, and then he was scolded by Ye Zhao.

"Why bother?" Guo Jia was stunned, this thing doesn't look like it has brains, why is it so alert?

"When Mr. Xi quit five stones, he also had the same expression as you, and then I was unlucky." Dian Wei looked at Guo Jia and said like a wolf: "If Mr. has any orders, just say it, but don't be close to me." ”

Guo Jia suddenly had an impulse now, and he picked up a knife to cut off Xi Zhicai!

……

Ah sneeze~

Xi Zhicai, who was walking towards the main hall with Ye Zhao, sneezed fiercely.

"Caught in the cold?" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai suspiciously.

"Probably not!" Xi Zhicai rubbed his nose, shook his head and said: "What the lord said about passing through the Western Regions, although the minister also feels that it is a little inappropriate, there are more than 6,000 miles from Zhangye to Dawan, and it will take half a month to go to Guishan City by flying boat, and once there is a rebellion, it is difficult for our army to arrive in a short time. ”

"Passing through the Western Regions, not ruling the Western Regions, of course, the necessary deterrence is needed, what I need is the resources of the Western Regions, iron ore, carbon ore, precious wood, jade, glass, not to mention that there are still a lot of gold mines and silver mines available, this land of the Western Regions is also a treasure trove, but if you wave your troops to occupy it, and mobilize the people, our army has just had some of the foundation, but I don't want to be defeated in the Western Regions, at least now is not the time." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"The lord is talking about business?" Xi Zhicai's expression moved, and he asked.

"Zhi knows me." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is to use business, the land of the Western Regions is a flat river, and the lever car newly developed by the Shengong Camp is useful, although it may not be useful to use this car to fight, but if it is used for business, it should not be difficult for the consignment to speed up the travel, plus Huaxiong's side shows its authority, we can establish long-term cooperation with the countries of the Western Regions, buy its mineral deposits with grain, porcelain, and silk, and let their people contribute, over time, although the Western Regions will be rich, but the potential will be reduced, We can also let the merchants attract some people from the Western Regions to our Han nationality. ”

Now that Ye Zhao wants to develop, population is a very important item, and the Central Plains is now stable, and it is almost impossible to absorb the population like the original Guanzhong population, so Ye Zhao can only hit the surrounding states with his ideas.

Ye Zhao supports the great integration of nationalities, but it is by no means a fusion promoted by the blood and tears of the Han people like Wuhu Chaohua, what he wants is to let the Han form a kind of centripetal attraction and continue to absorb the population and talents of the Western Regions.

"And I have studied the culture of the Western Regions, although it is messy, but it is also quite unique, and I wonder if I can incorporate its civilization into my Han culture." Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "The sea is inclusive, in order to be boundless, although my Han culture is brilliant, but we can't ignore the culture of other countries, if I have the opportunity, in my lifetime, I also want to see the culture of the Guishan Kingdom, the Great Qin Kingdom, and the Sabbath Country." ”

Guishan, Daqin, and Anxi are now big countries that can be compared with the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian has recorded when he went to the Western Regions, and even if you talk about the area of land, some are larger than the Han Dynasty, Ye Zhao is now limited to transportation, and it is difficult to expand the territory to that side in his lifetime, but it is no problem to attract more culture to integrate into the Han family for the Han Dynasty.

"The lord is far-sighted, and the minister can't do it."

"Don't say these words, plan well, and in the next few years, start all-round trade with the countries of the Western Regions."

"Whoa!"
