"It's spectacular. Zhang An looked up at the majestic city where the shadow in front of him shrouded him, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Zhang An, who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of high-rise buildings, never thought that one day he would be shocked by an ancient city.

The city in front of him is where Cao Wei's foundation is located, Xu County.

However, in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed the Han Dynasty and moved the capital to Emperor Xian, and then changed its name to Xu Du.

After the delivery of the army in hand, Lu Bu and Zhang An wore ordinary clothes, led the war horses, and walked into Xuchang from the city gate where people came and went.

Along the way, Lu Bu gave Zhang An, who was looking around, a general introduction to Xu Du.

Xu Du is divided into two cities, the inner city is the imperial city, the Son of Heaven, the queen and the prince of a concubine live in the inner city, and the civil and military officials will rush to the palace in the inner city on weekdays.

It's just that the court meeting at this time is basically just a show for the people of the world, and the real center of power is in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the outer city.

The outer city is divided into four regions, south, east and west, Cao Cao and his generals and advisers mostly live in the north and south districts, and the east and west districts are where the people and shops are located.

Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion was lined with the residences of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, while Lu Bu's mansion was next to Dian Wei.

Zhang Anxin said that Lao Cao was really relieved of Lu Bu, and he actually put a tiger and wolf general so close to him.

However, with Lu Bu's indifferent nature at this node, probably only the peak of martial arts and the opponent who makes people's fighting spirit boil can attract him.

Thinking of this, Zhang An asked, "Feng Xian, after you broke through the Gang Qi, I'm afraid that no one will be able to fight with you, right? Isn't your life much more boring?"

"Where will it be boring?" Lu Bu said mysteriously, "A certain is just good at battlefield fighting, and he is not invincible in the world, not to mention far away, this Xu Du, there is a peerless martial artist who has fought a few times before and lost a few times." ”

Zhang An asked curiously who it was, but Lu Bu smiled and didn't answer, and sold Guanzi, only saying that he would know in the future.

Under Zhang An's strong suggestion, in order to satisfy Zhang An's curiosity, Lu Bu took Zhang An around Xudu in a big circle, and roughly walked through the four areas of the outer city.

The two chatted along the way, Zhang An came over to look at something new, and when he saw something delicious, he asked Lu Bu to pay for it, buy a little and taste it in his hand, and slowly walked towards Lu Bu's mansion.

In the evening, the two walked in front of Lu Bu's mansion.

"This is Fengxian's mansion?" Zhang An pointed to the obviously expensive mansion in front of him, and teased, "Fengxian is embarrassed to cry with me?"

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "I'll know when you enter the mansion." ”

The two soldiers guarding the gate had already seen Lu Bu, and when the conversation between Zhang An and Lu Bu came to an end, they immediately came over and saluted and said, "Welcome Wen Hou back to his home." ”

The soldiers led the horses, and Zhang An followed Lu Bu into the vermilion gate.

Then Zhang An finally knew why Lu Bu said that he was poor.

The inside and outside of the door are literally two worlds.

Standing outside the door and looking at Lu Bu's mansion, the façade is decorated with golden splendor.

But after entering the gate, there are no strange flowers and plants in my imagination, but a few green bamboos and plum trees are planted at random.

Except for a few women, the rest of the people who are running back and forth are basically men with missing arms and legs.

Although those men were physically disabled, judging by their temperament, it was obvious that they were all soldiers who were born in the army but had to retire because of their disabilities.

There were occasional able-bodied soldiers, but they were also on crutches and had gray hair.

Zhang An glanced thoughtfully at Lu Bu, who nodded to the servants who came and went.

He knew why Lu Bu said that he was poor, and he obviously took his salary to raise a group of veterans.

Later, Zhang An learned that even if Cao Cao rewarded the land for Lu Bu's military exploits, Lu Bu gave all the land to those families who only left the old and young, women and children, and Lu Bu never collected the grain that should be paid for those lands.

"Bongxian is merciful. Zhang An glanced at Lu Bugao a few times.

Lu Bu sighed and said, "These people are all veterans who have been following a certain since they joined the army, they are willing to be soldiers because they admire a certain brave martial arts, and now that a certain has achieved something, how can they ignore them?"

Zhang An smiled and stopped talking, but he was thinking in his heart if there was any way to help Lu Bu.

After all, Lu Bu saved his life, not to mention, he also taught him the halberd method, and drew the halberd with Fang Tian, even the set of armor that was not ordinary at first glance was ready to be left to Zhang An.

Zhang An owed Lu Bu too much.

Walking to the inner hall with Zhang An, Lu Bu said to a servant standing beside him, "Go and call Madame over, and quickly serve some wine and food." ”

At this node, because Lu Bu did not choose to follow Dong Zhuo, naturally there will be no Diao Chan, so the wife Lu Bu said is his wife Yan.

It didn't take long for a dignified and gentle woman to come to the inner hall.

"Madam, this is a new acquaintance Zhang An, who will live in the house for a while. Lu Bu pointed at Zhang An and introduced with a smile, "You don't need to be too restrained with him, he is a friend of life and death." ”

"I've seen my sister-in-law. Zhang An hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Yan said softly, "The concubine has seen Mr. Zhang, and her husband is fighting outside, and I think I have been taken care of by Mr. Zhang. ”

Lu Bu smiled and said nothing, Zhang An said quite embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law's words make Zhang An embarrassed, Fengxian is strong in martial arts, but I am quite taken care of by him." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall, and Lu Bu stood up and looked out of the hall with a smile.

After a while, a little girl stumbled in, opened her little hand at Lu Bu, and shouted with a sweet smile, "Daddy!"

Lu Bu strode over and picked up the little girl, and asked in the gentlest voice Zhang An had ever known him, "When Daddy was away, was Ling'er well-behaved?"

"Ling'er is good. The little girl touched Lu Bu's cheek with her immature little hands, and said in a milky voice, "I just miss my father a little." ”

"Daddy misses Ling'er too. Lu Bu pinched Ling'er's little face.

Zhang An looked at Lu Bu's father and daughter with a smile, after experiencing a brutal battlefield battle, such a warm picture made Zhang Anxin feel inexplicably moved.

Maybe this is life, no matter how hard you work outside, home will always be your warmest haven.

Probably in Lu Bu's opinion, it is not as good as staying with his gentle wife and lovely daughter every day.

So where do you belong?

Thinking about it, Zhang An was a little distracted.

When watching the interaction between Lu Bu's father and daughter, the qi in his body spontaneously operated, and began to compress, purify, and condense, and the realm of condensation qi, which was only one foot away, actually broke through under the stimulation of this warm scene.

When Zhang An came back to his senses, Lu Bu hugged Ling'er and stood aside with Yan, looking at him with a smile.

"Congratulations to Zhang An, one step above the martial arts. Lu Bu said happily.

"It seems that Fengxian Mansion is actually my blessed land. Zhang An said with a smile.

Lu Bu laughed, Ling'er bit her finger in Lu Bu's arms, and looked at Zhang An curiously.

"Come, Ling'er, I've seen Uncle Zhang An. Lu Bu teased Ling'er.

"Uncle Zhang, hello. Ling'er was not afraid of life, she shouted her uncle vividly, and opened her hands to let Zhang An hug her.

Lu Bu smiled and handed Ling'er to Zhang An, Zhang An hurriedly hugged the little person, looking at the cute smile on her face without a trace of impurities, there were some complex emotions in her heart.

"What's Ling'er's name? Zhang An couldn't help but touch Ling'er's pink little face.

"Ling'er is called Ling'er. Ling'er said innocently.

"Ling'er's full name is Lu Lingqi. Lu Bu said triumphantly, "That's a good name, isn't it?" ”

Hearing the name Lu Lingqi, Zhang An Zhengse said, "After this woman, she must be a tiger girl, and her demeanor will not lose to Fengxian." ”

Hearing Zhang An's words, Lu Bu smiled even more proudly.

Although Yan was also smiling, there was lingering worry in his eyes.

She and Lu Bu have been married for many years, but they only have one daughter, although she also persuaded Lu Bu to accept some concubines, but Lu Bu, who is obedient to her on weekdays, does not agree in this regard.

Now this huge Lu Mansion is all supported by Lu Bu alone, if he doesn't give birth to a boy, after a hundred years of Lu Bu, will he really want such a delicate little girl to carry the banner of the Lu family?

Yan's worries Zhang An naturally didn't know, teased Ling'er for a while, and the wine and food came up.

Maybe it's really fate, Ling'er is extremely close to Zhang An, and she refuses to come down in Zhang An's arms, even if Lu Bu makes a face, it won't help.

"It's a neglect of discipline in the past. Lu Bu looked at Zhang An holding Ling'er in one hand and the food in the other, and said apologetically.

"It's okay, Ling'er is so cute, it's too late for me to like it. Zhang An said with a smile.

After he was full of wine and food, Lu Bu ordered his subordinates to take Zhang An to the guest room, and he took Yan and Ling'er away.

After following an old man with a lame right leg to the guest room, Zhang An politely thanked the old man and closed the door.

But Zhang An did not go to bed, but found a pen and paper, lit an oil lamp, and began to write and draw.

He was thinking about what method he should use to help Lu Bu so that he could repay a little favor.

To be honest, because of the relationship of writing novels, Zhang An really has a lot of miscellaneous things in his stomach, but due to the limitations of the times, there are many things that Zhang An can't get even if he has ideas.

After thinking for a while, Zhang An wrote a few things on the paper.

Three-character scripture, thousand-character text, engraving printing, movable type printing.

This is the safest way for Zhang An to think of.

Salt, iron and wine, these things were an important source of tax revenue in ancient countries, and they must not be touched.

However, at this time, Cai Lun had already transformed papermaking to make paper much cheaper, and at this time Zhang An made a printing technique, which was definitely suitable.

And the most important thing is that if Lu Bu dedicates printing to Cao Cao, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Printing can break the monopoly of books by the family, which is a big killer to win over the poor scholars.

Coupled with the three character classics and the thousand-character text, these two textbooks that are extremely suitable for enlightenment, Zhang An couldn't help but nod smugly.

With great difficulty, he translated the printing technique in his mind into ancient Chinese, and then deleted the part of the three-character classic thousand-character text that exceeded the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhang An put down his pen with satisfaction.

These few things should be able to ensure that as long as the Lu family does not die by themselves, they will be rich and worry-free for the rest of their lives.

After putting down the pen, Zhang An looked up and saw that the sky was already bright, and hurriedly grabbed the results of his overnight work and ran to find Lu Bu.

It happened that Lu Bu was about to go out to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw Zhang An running over in a hurry, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhang An, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang An stuffed a thick stack of papers in his hand into Lu Bu's hand.

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"This thing, as long as you present it, you can ensure that your Lu family is rich and prosperous, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Zhang An Zhengse said.

"You don't want to bluff. Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Believe it or not, you will know if you hand over this thing to Cao Gong or Xun Lingjun. By the way, don't say that I gave it to you, you just say that you got it by accident. After Zhang An finished explaining, he left with his hands behind his back, and he still had to exercise every day.

Lu Bu looked at the back of Zhang An leaving, confused.
