After appreciating the strength of Taizu for a while, Liu Zhang was poured several sips by the cold wind, and sure enough, he realized that there was no such thing, and only those who existed froze to death. The heavy snow will still fall for a long time, and it will not stop for a short time, and I am afraid that the road will be very difficult. After a few days at the Tiger Prison Pass, it will not be so difficult.

"The general's poetry is really good, and the concubine used to think that a few sisters were laughing." Zhen Mi saw Liu Zhang coming in with his neck shrunk, he used to feel very interesting when he watched this action, but now he seems to feel that this is an ordinary person with an extraordinary soul.

Liu Zhang immediately returned to his original appearance, and said with a sudden: "Don't you look at who I am?" It's not that I'm bragging, but I know 5,000 years in my head, and I know what will happen thousands of years later. Liu Zhang really didn't lie about this, he used to brag, but now that he thinks about it, he seems to be telling the truth.

Several women laughed when they spoke, but Zhen Mi took out a pen and paper and asked Liu Zhang to write it down. This woman doesn't doubt that Liu Zhang will forget? Liu Zhang naturally does not have this awareness, maybe Liu Zhang will feel embarrassed in front of the great writer, but he does not have this consciousness in front of women.

The way home is always boring, and Liu Zhang can be regarded as finding something to do for himself. For example, teaching two women to sing? Of course, Liu Zhang refuses to participate in any intellectual activities such as playing chess, and he hates playing these things with people at the top level of scholars, especially when they don't know how to let go......

All the way back smoothly, the heavy snow does not seem to stop, and when you arrive near Chang'an, you can see a busy figure. This year's drought has made people feel that it is still necessary to store some snow, and if there is a drought, they can cope with it. Liu Zhang's return was not known by too many people, and the carriage entered the city directly before the cavalry returned.

There was no snow on the ground of the city, and it was a bit cold all the way back. Dressed clumsily, he got out of the carriage and returned to the house. There are four seasons in the courtyard, and Mi Yue'er and Cao Hua are sorting out the texts in the pavilion in the courtyard, and they are quite busy at the end of the year.

When Liu Zhang came in, the two women were still looking at the account book, and they didn't see Liu Zhang at all. The maid on the side was born and shouted: "General......" Only then did the two of them relax and hurriedly got up to greet them.

"The general has rushed back, Xiaoya went to inform Madame." Cao Hua immediately arranged for the maid on the side to go.

Liu Zhang said: "Don't, don't let her come back if she's very busy, and you will have a lot of things to do at the end of the year." How is it this year, have you made a lot of money? Liu Zhang was a little anxious, and he must have a good feeling of being rich with Cao Hua on the side, although he said that he was not lacking, he still liked this way of making money.

Cao Hua smiled: "This year is not bad, it is better than previous years." We have made a lot of money through the Western Regions, and we also have a lot of workshops in other places. "Because I borrowed some of the systems of later generations, I didn't need much experience in the management of the workshop.

Mi Yue'er came over and untied Liu Zhang's cloak, there was a stove in the pavilion, and as long as the door was closed, it was very warm: "The general is not short of money at all, but he still likes to make money." "Liu Zhang is still working on money-making projects, of course, for them. But in fact, Liu Zhang is just enjoying it, but making money is for better construction.

Liu Zhang sat on a chair in the pavilion: "You don't understand that I'm enjoying it, it's almost the New Year, and I'm at home this year." The war is going to start after the New Year, and I am born tired. ”

Zhen Mi and the others, who had already changed their clothes, laughed: "The general wrote a poem on the road, come and see?" At night, let Cai Yan's sister be on the newspaper and send it out......" Zhen Mi held the paper with that poem written on it, which made Liu Zhang blush a little.

Several women were circulating, and Liu Zhang felt that it was best for him to sneak away. It's a pity that he just got up and ran away, and Xiao Qiao actually came back outside, and the sharp-eyed Xiao Qiao saw Liu Zhang who was about to sneak away at a glance, and he was extremely familiar with that action......

"General, why are you going?" Xiao Qiao looked at all the girls as soon as he spoke, Liu Zhang didn't like to discuss what poems and what flowers and snows with this group of girls.

Liu Zhang was a little embarrassed: "Haha, you talk about me going to the toilet......" After finishing and coming back, the two talented girls, should they discuss their poems with themselves, right?

Xiao Qiao was a little puzzled: "But how do I feel that the general wants to run away?" Xiao Qiao is very familiar with Liu Zhang's action, that light figure......

Liu Zhang ran away directly and hurried away, especially when Cai Yan came back, then he really had to ask. There are many thieves about that woman, and Liu Zhang still slipped away first. There are a lot of lively things at home, and Liu Zhang's return is just to add a little fun. The days are going on as usual, and Liu Zhang is also waiting for this year's New Year......

A few wisps of green smoke rose, and Chang'an seemed to have become a map of the Qingming River. Liu Zhang rarely has free time to stand on the high platform of the palace and look at the city, busy people are always busy, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the envoys from the Western Regions have also arrived. It's just that Liu Zhang didn't want to see them these days, and he invited these people when Liu Zhang held a banquet on the last night of the year......

"I heard that the small country in the Western Regions came to our Chang'an, and I also sent some blonde and blue-eyed women to the general, all of whom look like monsters." In a restaurant in Chang'an, idle people are chatting. A merchant returning from the Western Regions described the gossip he had heard.

As soon as these words came out, the people around them all came around, and a merchant next to him who was also dressed as a businessman also said: "Brother, this news has long been spread in Chang'an, who is the general?" That's heaven and earth, how can a woman from such a small country be worthy of a general? Now all these news are circulating in Chang'an, and the general will definitely not want those foreign women. "The merchant clearly had a sense of superiority over himself as a superior people, and a slight contempt for the foreigners.

The merchant who spoke before clapped his hands and said, "You don't understand this, those foreign women can seduce people, maybe they still want a status?" But our general has the blessing of God, and those people can't. However, there are really a lot of small countries in the Western Regions this time, and I don't know what good things they want to take from our big Han again. "In the past, the Han Dynasty would always give a lot of gifts to these small countries, but now Liu Zhang is so rich that he may not give anything.

Another merchant next to him laughed: "You guys, you don't understand at all. Who is our general? Our generals have long understood the ideas of those small countries, and I heard that the newspaper is already printing the Three Character Classics and the classics of a hundred schools, and it is estimated that this is a gift from the general. "There is nothing wrong with learning the text is very important, but it is also necessary to learn and understand. Liu Zhang's gifts to outsiders are all about books, and it is absolutely impossible to want technology or anything.

A scholar at the window said disdainfully: "It's just a small state of different races, and you also want to understand Confucian classics? The general is afraid that he will be too good to them...... "The scholar was obviously a little angry, for them it was already a great gift to let those small countries read the classics.

The merchant next to him suddenly smiled: "The general means that it's better if you can't understand it, let those small countries hide." After understanding and learning the culture of our Han family, we will be Han people in the future. The general said, what kind of cultural invasion is this? The merchants laughed, they liked to do this kind of thing the most.

With cheap classics, you can exchange a lot of money and goods, and the other party is grateful. Every time they went to the Western Regions, they would bring with them a large number of books. Books are one of the most precious things in this day and age. Of course, it also depends on who it is, and Liu Zhang has no feeling for this......

For a while, there was laughter and laughter in the restaurant, and more people were ridiculing the visitors from the Western Regions this time, and they were very curious about those strange women. Of course, Liu Zhang has no interest in the big ocean horses, if he wants to start a war to the west, as many big ocean horses can be captured, but those women are definitely not as comfortable as the few people around him.

"Some time ago, I heard that there is a big country further west in the Western Regions, and I heard those wanderers say what it is called Rome, as if it is the same as our Han Dynasty." A businessman who looked quite young, asked a businessman of some age, who was about forty years old, and his face was unobstructed. Just by looking at it, you can feel his demeanor that has experienced the world.

The old businessman is called Zhou Qin, and the general chief should also be called Lao Zhou. I heard that Lao Zhou followed him out to do business at the age of twelve, but he hasn't been there in the north and south of the river? Later, he took a caravan to the Western Regions during the civil strife in the Central Plains, but this old Zhou was dug up by the Wang family from elsewhere. According to outsiders' speculation, he may have a gold per month......

Lao Zhou slowly poured a glass of wine, and the merchants around him seemed to be waiting for him to speak, and even the scholars on the side were waiting for Lao Zhou to speak. After a glass of wine, Lao Zhou also said: "After arriving in the Western Regions, we have to go further west, pass through a small country of Qiuci and cross the Tianshan Mountains, even if this is the case, the distance of two more Western Regions is almost there." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhou glanced at everyone and drank a glass and said: "After that, I arrived in Rome, and I heard that the fugitive said that Rome is a little bigger than our big man, but it is definitely not as strong as us, our big man is the strongest." Speaking of which, Lao Zhou was also a little flustered, and he drank too much and couldn't control the chatterbox.

"I'm afraid you don't know, do you? The general has long known about Rome, and is only waiting for the possibility of leading a large army to fight in the future? "There was an uproar at the scene.

"Lao Zhou is talking about things over there, how did the general know?" Everyone couldn't help but ask, and curiosity aroused a large number of people.

Lao Zhou glanced at it and said, "I can't say it, I can't say it." With that, he got up and left......
