Liu Kun didn't want to be a loner, so he felt this and decided one by one; Let the loyal generals under his command cultivate the first layer of the Nine Transformations Xuangong, and those who can cultivate will make a decision according to the situation.

And his wives, all of whom have cultivated the Shangqing Qi Refining Technique, if their talent is high enough, and the progress of their cultivation is fast, they can go to other worlds with my clones in the future.

If the talent is not good enough, the progress of cultivation is slow, and there is no hope of breaking through the golden pill stage, you can recruit believers by casting spells, stay in this world, and accompany my deity.

Thinking of this, Liu Kun woke up Zhang Fei, who was still drunk, and told him his intentions.

After listening to it in a daze, Zhang Fei suddenly came to his senses and said in surprise: "Big brother, will my old Zhang also become an immortal?" ”

Liu Kun smiled and said: "The so-called immortals are just the names of the people who have cultivated to be strong, and these people can only be called monks.

If you want to become an immortal immortal, the road is very difficult! Cultivating this Nine Turns Xuangong is just paving a path to the gods for you, and the road is long, whether you can reach the end depends on your own talent and hard work! ”

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Big brother, don't worry, my old Zhang will never embarrass you!" ”

Liu Kun smiled, patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Virtuous brother doesn't need to put too much pressure on himself, it's really not good, I will try to make you turn into a divine cultivator, at least I can let you live carefree for a thousand years!" ”

Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, but thought in his heart: If the eldest brother takes the other brothers and goes to another world, but my old Zhang can't go, I can't let the other brothers laugh to death? In any case, I Lao Zhang also want to practice this exercise.

After teaching Zhang Fei the exercises, Liu Kun taught the exercises of the first layer of the Nine Turns Xuangong to other righteous disciples through the line of faith. and a military general with good talent and temperament.

The next day, Liu Kun said goodbye to Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, performed the art of retreat, and returned to Luoyang.

This expedition, Liu Kun has been gone for more than half a year, and the imperial court has naturally accumulated a lot of affairs. The next day, at the court meeting, the ministers poured out their bitterness to Liu Kun.

Tao Qian said: "Your Majesty, now that the territory of my Han Dynasty is expanding too fast, the manpower under the minister's command has been clumsy, and now there are still many places where the ministers have sent chief officials, and the minister's subordinates are really unavailable!" ”

Liu Kun knew that this year, except for his conquest of Funan and the Nanyang Islands along the way, the rest of the departments also achieved great results.

Liu Kun asked, "Where did the other ministries go?" Listen carefully and listen to me! ”

Tao Qian replied: "Your Majesty." According to the battle reports sent back to the imperial court by Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Wen Chou, and Huang Zhong, the four of them have already fought to the far north!

There, according to them, they saw the real North Sea, the land of the Far North. It only thaws in June and freezes again in September. Even in the summer, the soldiers had to wear cotton clothes to keep out the cold.

In March this year, the troops of Zhang Jaw and Ma Chao II divided into two routes and captured more than 20 countries.

The Jaw Commander marched from Loulan and attacked the northern part of the Western Regions. All the way to break Loulan, Yuli, Cheshi Qianguo, Yanqi, Yuli, Beilu, Shan Huan, Xijimi, Wu Greed, Huhu, Robbing the country, Cheshi Houguo, has occupied the Pu Houguo.

And Ma Chao marched all the way from Ruoqiang, Lianpo Ruoqiang, Jimo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Qule, Pishan, Zihe, Yinai, Shule, Shache, Puli, after bypassing the desert, he turned around and went north, Lian Poweitou, Gumo, Gumo, Qiuzi, and currently occupy Wusun. ”

Liu Kun was a little confused by the names of these countries. How much space does it occupy?

"Bring me the map and show it to me!" The attendant brought a map, and Tao Qian pointed out the route of the second army to Liu Kun one by one.

After looking at it, Liu Kun smiled in his heart and said: After saying the names of so many countries, I still think that I have occupied a lot of territory, and it turns out that it is still in China in the future!

Hey? It's really a coincidence that there is no book! The small countries they occupied happened to be in the territory of later China, especially the march on the Zhangjaw South Road, which was almost close to the border line of China.

(The author despises Liu Kundao: Can it be a coincidence?) Can't go further south? Otherwise, why would China's borders be there in the future? ）

Nowadays, among the countries of the Western Regions, only Dawan, Anxi, Dayueshi, Kangju, Kokand, Kanjuti, Wuyi Shanli and other countries have not yet been included in the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the construction of the highway could not keep up with the speed of the march, and now the highway has not been repaired to Wusun, if it is rashly marched, logistics supply is a big problem, unless it is Liu Kun's personal expedition.

Liu Kun already knew the situation of Zhao Yun's department, since Zhao Yun received Liu Kun's order to 'stop attacking the Drifter Kingdom', he marched north from the Daguang Kingdom, and then to the west, pacifying several nomadic tribes who could not be named. Facing the plateau climate, it has been fought to Lhasa in later generations.

Liu Kun also asked him to pay attention to a country called Tubo, but Zhao Yun did not find it, and this country still doesn't know where the cat is?

The territory is indeed large enough, more than double that of last year. It's no wonder that Tao Qian complained, with so much territory, even if a county only sends one chief official, it is not a small number, which really makes Tao Qian sad!

Liu Kun asked the ministers, "What do you Aiqing think about this matter?" ”

When the courtiers heard the emperor's question, they came up with ideas:

"Or reinstate the deposed officials?"

"You can't do it! The order of the court changes, where is the prestige of the court? ”

"This year's scientific examination has only admitted 800 people, I think there are still many talents among those who have not been admitted, otherwise choose some?"

"Your idea is not good, what do the people think? Will you think there's something shady in it? What is the authority of scientific research? ”

"Reopen the system of filial piety and honesty, and let local officials recommend some talents?"

"Presumably, more than ninety percent of the talents have come to participate in the scientific examination, right?"

"What then? Otherwise, there will be another imperial examination next year? ”

"Hey~! This is a good way to open an additional subject, the students who failed last year, plus the students who did not participate in the scientific examination last year will come, so that the talent problem will be solved! ”

"Good! That's a good idea! ”

"Hmmm! I think it's good too! ”

After Liu Kun pondered for a while, he said: "That being the case, in March next year, an additional imperial examination will be held, and the admission scope can be appropriately relaxed!" ”

The ministers praised: "My emperor is wise! ”

Hua Xin went out and said: "Your Majesty, due to the drought last year, although Your Majesty cast a spell to rain, the grain output of Qing, Gun, Hebei, and the four continents is still less than in previous years, so there is not much grain left in the major granaries this year.

And my Han's territory is growing too fast, if Your Majesty continues to fight next year, I'm afraid that next year's food will be in short supply! (To be continued......)
