On this day, Liu Hong rarely got up early in the morning. He wanted to go out for a stroll and see how the promotion of the government affairs hall was going, but he didn't expect Zhao Rao to come to him.

The weather at the beginning of spring is still very cold. Zhao Rao, who had just come in from outside, her little face was red from the cold. Her appearance made Liu Hong very excited.

"Nurse, you came to me early in the morning, you can't think of me, right?!" There was no one else in the room, Liu Hong was polite, and while teasing Zhao Rao, he hugged her waist and pressed her to the bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing that she was pressed to the bed as soon as she entered the door, Zhao Rao was angry and funny. She struggled to get rid of Liu Hong, and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, it's so bad for people to see it early in the morning!" Besides, the nurse came to you, but she had something to do! ”

"Okay, let's get down to business first." As he spoke, Liu Hong touched Zhao Rao twice more and said, "I will look for you in the evening, and then I will do something that is not a serious matter with you." ”

"Wow, what's not the right thing!" Zhao Rao was blushed by Liu Hong, and she was no longer verbose, and hurriedly handed the record in her hand to Liu Hong, "This is this period of time, all the records of He Lian are now all for you." ”

As soon as he heard that this was the case, Liu Hong stopped messing around, and when he got it in his hand, he looked at it in detail.

"It's been nearly two months since I came back, and He Lian doesn't make pastries from time to time and give them to the Queen Mother, the queen, and the concubines, so there is nothing abnormal?" Liu Hong turned over and looked at it, and was puzzled for a while, "Is it really me, it's He Lian's fault, she hasn't had bad thoughts about others at all?" ”

To be honest, this is what Liu Hong hopes for most. After all, although he guessed wrong, the relationship between him and He Lian as husband and wife was completely preserved. But think about He Lian's "history". Coupled with her giving away pastries for no reason, Liu Hong's heart just couldn't settle down.

"Nurse, although he has not moved much during this time. But I'm still a little uneasy, so you'll send someone to keep an eye on her for a while. Liu Hong knew very well that if He Lian didn't act, once she did, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event. So, for insurance. Let's keep an eye on her first.

"Your Majesty, the nurse will help you keep an eye on her until you are completely at ease."

"Well, nurse, you do things, I am absolutely assured." That's done. Looking at Zhao Rao, Liu Hong's color heart came up again.

But just when Liu Hong was about to make a move. A palace maid came in to give a report. "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is asking to see you outside."

"Your Majesty, the nurse has nothing else to do, you go to see the prime minister, and the nurse should go back." Liu Hong's careful thinking, how could he hide it from Zhao Rao's eyes. Now that I see Liu Hong "deflated", I am very happy.

"Nurse, don't be too happy, I'm going to be tonight. I'll take care of you. ”

"Okay, the nurse is waiting for you to clean up tonight." As she spoke, Zhao Rao ran away without a trace.

Seeing that Zhao Rao was still in such a hot mood, Liu Hong was amused for a while, and at this time, Liu Qi also came in.

"Your Majesty, this government hall is a good idea. Don't you know that once it was launched, it immediately won unanimous praise from the people! ”

"Of course, it is convenient for the people, and of course the people will be praised." Although he said that, Liu Hong was still very happy to hear Liu Qian's words. After all, the more satisfied the people are with the court, the more secure his throne will be.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right." Liu Qi nodded, and then said, "But this Lu Zhi can be regarded as famous. Not to mention in the court, even in the common people, they also have a high reputation! ”

"Lu Zhi?"

Hearing Liu Qi mention him, Liu Hong also had a feeling of unpredictability. In another time and space, he became famous, completely because he was Liu Bei's teacher, what he did, and there are really not many things that have been handed down. However, in this time and space, although he will no longer have an apprentice like Liu Bei, this government affairs hall can definitely make him famous in history.

"Lu Zhi is a person who is dedicated to the people, and he can be cultivated. But don't worry now, let him pass away in Sri Buddha and experience more time! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty said so. Lu Zhi is still a little immature, so it is only serious for him to have more experience. Liu Qian echoed for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, now a large number of projects have been completed, and a lot of slaves have been released. Shall we use these slaves to build roads first, or shall we use these slaves to repair the dikes of the rivers first? ”

"Our Han people, the people along the river, almost all have been relocated. Therefore, the matter of building the dam is not too urgent. Besides, building a dam is no small matter. I either don't repair it, but if I want to repair it, I will build a great project that can really benefit the world. Therefore, the present slave will never be able to meet the needs of this project. As he spoke, Liu Hong took out a picture and said, "Uncle Huang, you see that this is the embankment I designed for those rivers, can you build it with that little slave?" ”

Good guy, seeing the project designed by Liu Hong startled Liu Qian, who was used to seeing the world.

"Your Majesty, your eight-meter-wide reinforced concrete dam in the middle is protected by stone dams five meters wide on each side. This security is safe, but how many people do it take, and how long does it take to build it?! ”

The eighteen-meter-wide embankment, not to mention this method, is just a mound of earth, and it is not something that ordinary water can break through. So when he thought of building such a project, Liu Qian was very smacked.

"Uncle Huang, building a dam can be said to be a project for eternity, if you don't repair it, you must repair it once you repair it." Looking at Liu Qian's surprised look, Liu Hong said: "Now, there are too many barren places in our Han Dynasty, and in a short period of time, a large number of people will not live on the riverside. So, let's arrange it calmly, take our time, and fix those dams before they are so populated that they have to be relocated to the river. ”

"Oh, if Your Majesty is going to spend decades on this project, then there will be no problem." Hearing Liu Hong's plan, Liu Qian didn't say anything more, "Your Majesty, then Weichen, use those slaves to build roads." ”

"Uncle Huang, building a road is building a road. This time, however, the road cannot be hasteed. After a few years of rest, it's time for us to prepare for the next wave of conquest. So, I'm going to build the road to the West first. In this way, once the battle begins, our army can quickly strike at our targets directly from the wide road. ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue the war?" Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Qian was very taken aback. Then, he said to himself: "Also, after being idle for so long, the previous territories have been digested, the people have also been recuperated, and it is time to continue the war!" ”

"Your Majesty, how is this road built?" Thinking of this, Liu Qi asked, "Is it according to the Silk Road, or do you have other arrangements?" ”

"You can't just build the Silk Road." Liu Hong shook his head, "The Silk Road has reached the outside of the Han Dynasty, but it has been divided into several routes. But in our Dahan territory, it is only a road to the northwest. In the southwest, we are also going to attack, so the roads in the southwest and northwest must be repaired together. ”

"Your Majesty, if these two roads are built together, this project will be big. We slaves may not be able to do it, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if the road in the southwest is a little slower, let's follow the Silk Road first. After all, this road is not only for conquest, but repairing it can also bring huge benefits to our Han. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, our slaves are still too few, and we basically can't take care of this place but not there." If we can get another 100,000 slaves, no, even if we can get another 200,000 or 300,000 slaves, we can solve our big problem. ”

Although there are now millions of slaves in the Han Dynasty, there are basically nothing to see in the millions of slaves scattered in such a large territory of the Han Dynasty. In addition, the Han Dynasty is full of projects, railways, highways, canals, digging rivers, repairing cities, etc., all of which require people, and these slaves are becoming more and more insufficient.

"Well, I know that, too. However, the nearby foreign tribes have basically been wiped out by us, and we can't catch slaves if we want to. Although it is possible to buy some slaves outside, but after all, the number is limited, and the ones bought are basically skilled, so it would be a pity to let them do rough work. ”

"yes!" Liu Qian also knew the truth of what Liu Hong said, so he could only sigh secretly. However, as soon as he thought of going to war, he immediately became happy, "Your Majesty, let's fight as soon as possible, as long as we destroy a few more countries, not to mention anything else, we will definitely get a lot of slaves." ”

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, those guys in the army can't hold it back for a long time. Once the road is finished, it will definitely be able to go out immediately. ”

While the two were talking, the palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, Qiao Xuanqiao Shangshu, come to ask for a meeting." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, don't hurry up and invite him in." When Liu Hong heard that his father-in-law was coming, how dare he slack off.

After Qiao Xuan entered the main hall and sat down, it was like Liu Hongyu reported, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom has arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and I want to ask to see Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty will see you?" ”

"What, the Japanese are coming?" Hearing this, Liu Hong was taken aback, after all, in history, the Wa Kingdom only came in the late Three Kingdoms, and now it is decades in advance, "How did they come, and who are they?" ”

"Your Majesty, those who have come are the messengers of Yamatai. And the fact that they were able to come to Dahan is entirely due to your caravan! (To be continued......)
