The drunken messenger said to Liu Zhang unsteadily: "The general is really hospitable, and I like this wine very much." When I go back this time, I will definitely say a few good words for the general in front of my lord, and I will not forget the credit of the general who can form an alliance with my lord in the future. He burped and staggered and boasted.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It should be, Your Excellency can say a few more kind words in front of the general when you go back." The envoy will thank you again next time he comes to Zhang, and he will not forget your merits. Although Liu Zhang said politely, he didn't make any moves. But people who are already drunk and half-awake don't notice this.

Drunk, I got in the car and set off, followed by two carts of gifts. Liu Zhang really doesn't know what use this kind of person can be if he doesn't do a job of reading newspapers and distributing leaflets? Of course, everyone has their own way of survival, and Liu Zhang doesn't need to be harsh on anyone.

"When the lord returns, he will inevitably talk about it. In this way, the lord's status in Yuan Shao's heart is probably going to be lowered a lot. Chen Qun watched the envoy walk away, and Chen Qun was really convinced by Liu Zhang's boastful appearance. Sometimes he felt that he couldn't bear it, but Liu Zhang didn't reflect yet.

"Hehe, anyway, Yuan Shao has never looked down on me, so why should I care so much?" Shaking his head, Liu Zhang was going to see how Luoyang was doing. Liu Zhang has been in the house for the past few days, and Liu Zhang has heard of it here in Luoyang. The most famous is probably the peony in Luoyang, but Liu Zhang is not interested in flowers and plants at all.

Standing in front of the original palace, all that remains is the gray and black stone steps to prove that this place was once glorious. The surrounding ruins tell how brutal Dong Zhuo was back then, but Liu Zhang really sighed about this once great palace. Whether it's the pyramids, or the Great Wall, these are wonders that have shocked the world.

Of the four ancient civilizations, only this country still has the atmosphere of the ancient country in later generations, and the other countries have more or less lost the pride of the ancient civilization. Standing under the sky of history, this feeling is even more profound. Stepping up the stairs, you came to the ruins of the palace, where only the stones on the ground were burned.

It is said that in order to prevent insects on the foundation, the ancients would spread mercury under the foundation to become a special item to prevent insects and ants. It's a pity that this kind of thing is very toxic to the human body, but there is no need for it now. Building a house with cement will only get stronger and stronger, and it can also play an ancient style, which Liu Zhang likes to combine.

The entire imperial palace inside Luoyang was reduced to ashes, which is enough to prove how ruthless the fire was. Dong Zhuo burned here, didn't he feel a little guilty? Liu Zhang felt that Dong Zhuo's death was too simple, if he caught Dong Zhuo by himself, he would at least reward him for a Ling Chi execution, right?

The palace has become a ruin, and it is not worth Liu Zhang's energy to rest for the time being. After looking here for a long time, Liu Zhang came out of the old site, and the city was more or less popular. There are the people of Luoyang who originally fled, and there are also the people who fled and now come back.

After taking Chen Qun around for a morning, Liu Zhang said at lunchtime: "Although Changwen Luoyang is now in ruins, it only takes less than five years for me to make him almost like Chang'an." It's a ruin, so everything will start all over again, which is a good thing for the rules. At least we don't have a shortage of food now, and we can manage it well. Education and agriculture are key now, and you are the first mover. Liu Zhang attaches great importance to Chen Qun, Yuan Lian, Hua Xin, and Liu Ye, because they are still young and have a strong ability to accept new things.

These people are not pedantic firstly, secondly, they are very smart, and secondly, they are also loyal and honest people, so Liu Zhang will probably cultivate them very carefully. At the very least, the foundation will be handed over to them, so that the next group of people can grow well.

"Rest assured, Luoyang is the old capital, and I will definitely manage it well." Liu Zhang is good to them, although Luoyang is in ruins, it is the old capital after all. Sooner or later, it will be prosperous again, and looking at the current Chang'an, it is enough to show that Liu Zhang's means are still very good.

After resting for the next two days, Liu Zhang prepared to return to Chang'an, and the original plan was to return to Chang'an in July. But after Cao Cao's actions, Liu Zhang was delayed in Runan for nearly two months for no reason. It's November now, and the weather is getting colder. I don't know if it's snowing heavily this year, but if there is no heavy snow this year, I'm afraid there will be a drought next year.

There are not many things to do in Luoyang, and after sending off the envoy, Liu Zhang is ready to return to Chang'an to prepare for the New Year. This year's benefits should also be prepared in advance, so that you don't have to go so fast when you go back. There are not many people along the way, most of them are from nearby towns and counties. There are fewer people here than on the road from Jingzhou to Chang'an, but it won't be long before Luoyang will become prosperous. In the world's most populous place, even a seaside city will not prosper quickly.

When he returned to Chang'an, Liu Zhang, who had just been comfortable for two days, had just arrived with the goods prepared by Xiliang. Blankets, clothes, shoes and hats made of wool have been delivered to Chang'an, and truckloads have been transported to Chang'an's warehouse. These are all high-quality goods, Wang Yi has already taken a group of girls to pick them, and there is a feeling of visiting a shopping mall in the future.

Liu Zhang received a letter from Wang Lei, which said that this year's cotton planting was successful, although there are not many, but there are examples. It's a happy event, but what comes with it is interesting. During the Ice Age, it was really cold in the north, and it was already snowing heavily.

Many small tribes in Xianbei are even more sad, and a lot of materials have been robbed under the exploitation of the big tribes, and more Xianbei people can't survive but they are coming to Wuwei. Ma Teng had taken in too many small tribes there, but more and more people were coming. Xianbei occupies a larger territory than the big Han, and although the internal personnel are not as many as the big Han, they will definitely not be too bad.

After Wang Ti took in some small tribes to work in the previous year, the news spread hundreds, hundreds, thousands, and slowly spread throughout the grassland. So the small tribes that couldn't survive this year, or the small tribes that were about to perish, came to Wuwei with the last of their population. At first, Ma Teng was quite happy, so much labor could allow him to start a large-scale operation according to the plan made by Liu Zhang, but there were too many small tribes with it. These people are weak, people who can't survive on the grassland.

After coming to Wuwei, there are not many young and strong forces, but after all, there are many women, and Ma Teng can't control himself with such a good labor force. But when he looked at hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people, Ma Teng felt that something was wrong. That's too much, isn't it? Now he didn't dare to collect these people. In case there is some chaos and Wu Wei is lost, isn't he Ma Teng guilty?

Liu Zhang's brows furrowed when he looked at the letter, and the alien race was the last thing Liu Zhang wanted to touch. At least that's what Liu Zhang is unwilling to face at the moment, and those people's regions themselves can't afford to go north now. Passive defense is definitely not Liu Zhang's character, so Liu Zhang hopes to spend these years safely. But in fact, because he changed the general environment of Xiliang, he had to face this situation in advance.

But the only good news is probably that Wang Rateng rebelled against a group of Qiang people, and those people originally had a good relationship with Han Sui. These aliens are really strange, and once they recognize them as friends, it's really not bad. In the face of the attack of the rest of the Qiang tribe, that tribe instead helped Wang Lei to defend himself. Wang Lei's side only needs to help with some supplies.

These news gave Liu Zhang a headache, once there was too much influx of foreigners, it would become a trouble, but if these resources, which were mostly women and children, were not occupied, then it would be a pity. In short, Liu Zhang rationally told himself to refuse, but desire told Liu Zhang that these were resources, and once he missed it, he would need force to get it.

This is the time to show strong kindness, and the time is already November, and there are still three months before the Chinese New Year. Xiliang is necessary to deal with it, if you don't deal with it, it will definitely become a disaster. Thinking of this, Liu Zhang really sighed, it was really difficult to have a good New Year.

After receiving the letter, Liu Zhang was about to go to see the wool goods sent by Wang Lei, and took a few doglegs Liu Zhang to the warehouse. The guards outside the huge warehouse straightened their waists, knowing that the group of people inside had a great background. Liu Zhang's group of women, plus the wives of the officials around Liu Zhang, and the current queen......

When Liu Zhang pushed the door in, he immediately felt a buzzing sound. A group of women kept discussing around several large tables, and they didn't even notice Liu Zhang coming in. The most lively Ma Yunlu and Lu Lingqi were hiding aside with a lambskin jacket, in such a group of powerful women, the two of them were a little inadequate.

Wang Yi and Wu Yi were holding one and discussing and gesturing, as if they were thinking about how to transform these clothes to look better? Cai Yan and Zou Fu, and even Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao on the side, each kept looking at the various sheepskin jackets. This is the same as the women who entered the famous brand store in later generations, and the kind of pick-and-pick appearance simply collapsed the man.

"Ahem......" Liu Zhang coughed and found that there was no response, so Liu Zhang coughed again. In the end, it was Cai Yan who discovered Liu Zhang, and she hurriedly saluted and shouted: "General......" The scene immediately quieted down, and this time, including Queen Fushou, all were stunned.

It's a little embarrassing, and I feel like I've been a bad guy unconsciously? Do you seem to be interrupting their shopping pleasure? Coughed twice and said, "You go on, I'm just here to see." After speaking, Liu Zhang turned around and left, originally planning to tell Wang Yi about his plan to go to Xiliang.
