When Liu He came to Chang'an outside the city, Zhong Xiang had already led all the civil and military forces to greet him, and after Liu He entered the mansion to greet him, Zhong Xiang immediately reported to Liu He what happened during this period of time, on the whole, the situation during this period of time was quite stable, Ma Teng and Han Sui since the last invasion of Chang'an was scared away by strange weather, never raised troops to fight, but sent people to give gifts many times, showing their respect.

What is even more gratifying is that in the autumn of this year, the Guanzhong area obtained a bumper harvest, which not only solved the food problem urgently needed by the people's lives, but also successfully attracted the people of the surrounding Yongliang area, and a large number of people came to the Guanzhong area with their families and uprooted their hometowns, in fact, this is one of the reasons why Ma Teng and Han Sui led the army to attack Chang'an.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Liu He feel excited, the five grain seeds distributed this year have also obtained a bumper harvest, Shi Tao ordered people to carefully hide the seeds in the treasury, and they have been distributed at the time of spring planting, and told the relevant military households to work hard, and often go to check the growth of seedlings.

According to Shi Tao, this year's seedlings are growing very well, and they will be able to get another bumper harvest. In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, in this half a year, Liu He is diligent in internal affairs, pay attention to recuperation, so that the situation is very good, the Guanzhong area faintly re-becomes the granary of the world, Chang'an market is prosperous, trade is developed, and it has recovered to become the world's leading big city.

On this day, Liu He found Lu Su and Zhong Xuan and others to discuss the development of Chang'an, and when they talked about Chang'an trade, Liu He suddenly let out a long sigh.

Zhong Miao was very strange when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Now that the situation in my Guanzhong is very good, I don't know why the lord sighs?" ”

Liu He sighed lightly again, and then said: "In the past, Chang'an was the capital of my Han Emperor, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the prosperity of the city was the first in the world, not only my Han, but even the people of the Western Regions also traveled long distances to trade here, so a Silk Road through the east and west was formed, but today, due to the coexistence of princes, the decline of the national strength of our Han Dynasty, and the Western Regions barbarians took the opportunity to plunder, resulting in the Silk Road has not been unblocked for a long time, I really hope to be able to unblock the Silk Road again, let my Han Bao freight sales everywhere, let my Han become the real center of the world." ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, he was immediately silent, and sighed softly, because as a Hanchen, he naturally longed to be able to reproduce the former glory of the Han Dynasty, but due to various reasons, the Silk Road was not smooth, so that the glory of the former first metropolis of the Han Dynasty was no longer there.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Miao said solemnly to Liu He: "I believe that with the ability of the lord, we will soon be able to regain the glory of the past and make Chang'an the largest city in the world again." ”

The others around them also nodded heavily, none of them doubting this.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Chen Zhi report, saying that Ma Teng's envoy was coming, mainly to discuss the matter of giving his daughter Ma Yunlu to Liu He as a concubine, Liu He heard this, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that the marriage urging was coming.

Sure enough, Ma Teng's envoy saw Liu He, and after exchanging greetings, he immediately spoke: "Don't hide it from the general, the reason why the lower officials came to Chang'an this time is mainly to discuss the matter of giving the young lady to the general as a concubine on the order of my lord." The last time my lord raised this matter, fortunately the general did not give up, my lord was very pleased, but he was afraid of long dreams at night, so he sent the lower officials to come, hoping that the general could accept my young lady as soon as possible, in order to show his sincerity, my lord also ordered the lower official to send a dowry, here is 100,000 grains, tens of millions of money, 20,000 horses of silk, the general also knows, I Yongzhou has always been poor and weak, these goods may be nothing for the general, but for us it is really a rich property, so I hope the general is not to blame. ”

"Haha, thank you father-in-law for your kindness, then, then I will be disrespectful, please go back and tell your father-in-law, and will soon be Miss into the room, but I hope that my father-in-law can come here to preside over our marriage in person, so that Miss will have a dependence at that time."

Liu He smiled and said to the messenger.

However, as soon as the envoy heard this, his face suddenly changed, and then he said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the general, I'm afraid this matter is not easy, because my lord happens to have important things to do in the past two days, and my lord has already said before the official comes, since the young lady has been personally promised to the general, that is, the general's person, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not, besides, the general is just a concubine, not a wife, there is no need to come so formally." ”

"I see, Nahe had no choice but to obey the order, by the way, since Mr. came to my Chang'an, then don't leave, it's not too late to leave after I accept your young lady, and then Mr. must drink a few more glasses of wine for his father-in-law."

"That's natural, please rest assured that although the lower official is not strong enough to drink, but the young lady's happy wine must drink a few more glasses," the messenger saw Liu He say this, and his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "General, although my young lady is not very old, but her temperament is very stubborn, although she has a father's life, but the lower official is still worried that the young lady will not obey, so please let the general allow the lower official to persuade my young lady more." ”

"Oh? This is also human nature, Mr. will go and persuade Miss, if she is obedient, then it's fine, if you really don't want to marry He, then the matter is okay, no matter what, and always can't be forced to press the head without water, isn't it? ”

"Please rest assured, after the persuasion of the lower officials, I believe that the young lady will definitely agree." The messenger's face changed again, and he made a promise to Liu He with a smile.

"In that case, then I look forward to the good news from Mr." Liu He smiled and ordered someone to take the messenger to see Ma Yunlu.

After the envoy left, Liu He's face smiled coldly, and then said lightly: "I really didn't expect this Ma Teng to be so ruthless, for that little profit, I would rather give up the happiness of my own daughter, since this is the case, then don't blame me for being rude, this time I want your daughter, and your territory will come to my hands sooner or later." ”

"It turns out that the lord has already thought about this time, and Xia Guan originally wanted to remind the lord of it, but Xia Guan was afraid that the lord would ......"

"Yuan Chang, are you afraid that I will be fascinated by women and miss a big thing, you can rest assured that I can be this kind of person? When have you ever seen me suffer in front of an opponent? Liu He glanced at Zhong Xuan deeply and said with a smile.
