Half a month later.

Early morning.

The fiery morning sun has just appeared, and the east gate outside Luoyang City is densely packed with people, and the officials in the imperial court, regardless of their rank, are standing here at this moment.

According to the news sent by Liu Xie, they will arrive on time this morning, and they have already discussed how to greet the emperor, so no one is absent today.

But.

As time passed, everyone began to realize that something was wrong, it was almost noon, but there was still no news of the emperor.

Many people had slowly turned from the initial reverence and piety to impatience and anger, and in their opinion, if the emperor had only arrived in the evening, why had they come here so early to wait?

There are only a few old guys such as Wang Yun, and there is still no abnormality in their expressions, what they looked like at the beginning is still what they are now.

These people knew very well in their hearts that the emperor's itinerary should not have changed, and the reason why it was like this was just to give them a dismount.

This is the way things are always done by those in power, and even they do it sometimes, and if they don't have the patience to even stand here and wait, then they can't be entrusted with a heavy task.

Not to mention.

Who knows if there is an emperor's eyeliner here?

That's it...... It wasn't until late that day that the sound of horses' hooves gradually came from ahead, and the impatient crowd breathed a long sigh of relief.

As more and more people appeared in front of them, most of the people's expressions became respectful again, and it didn't take long for Liu Xie to appear in front of everyone under the escort of the shadow secret guard.

"Ministers meet Your Majesty......"

As soon as Liu Xie appeared, almost everyone present knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to Liu Xie.

"You're welcome, please get up!" Liu Xie, who got off the carriage, smiled and motioned for everyone to get up.

His gaze especially stayed on Wang Yun and the others, and this detail was naturally also seen by these people.

In fact.

In the year since he left, a steady stream of information about Luoyang has been transmitted to Liu Xie, and he knows what is happening here.

That's one of the reasons why he deliberately hung these people here......

……

"Your Majesty, the ministers are looking forward to your return, if you don't come back, we old guys don't know what to do!" Wang Yun took the lead in getting up and came to Liu Xie, and said very sincerely.

His expression is very well done, and people who don't know really think how wronged he is.

As soon as Wang Yun's voice fell, many people behind him nodded their heads in agreement, and also made very aggrieved expressions.

"You have worked hard, I will never forget what you have done for the court, especially Wang Situ, in this year, whether it is the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the court, or the transfer of money, he has done it himself, and it can really be said that he has done everything in detail!"

"The thing that touched me the most: even where there is a happy event in someone's family that needs the court to come forward, he has personally done this, which really touches me very much!" Liu Xie nodded very seriously and said with emotion.

As he said this, Wang Yun's faces became ugly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, especially several people in the crowd looked even more ugly than crying.

Wang Yun and the others naturally understood very well what Liu Xie was talking about, and they were shocked that although Liu Xie was not in Luoyang, he knew so clearly what was happening here, and he even knew who had a happy event.

This also illustrates...... Liu Xie is also very clear about what they do.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, Wang Yun knew that he couldn't go on like this, if the situation was kept under Liu Xie's control, the goal he wanted to achieve would be all in vain.

Just when Wang Yun wanted to speak again, Liu Xie directly grabbed in front of him and said again: "Actually, I am very touched that you can go out of the city to greet me, especially when Wang Situ is so old, I really can't bear to stay here all day!" ”

"In this way, Wang Situ, you bring your daughter back, you have worked so hard, I can't bear to let your daughter work so hard!"

Liu Xie kept a smile on his face from beginning to end, but his appearance was very different in Wang Yun's eyes, and the horror on Wang Yun's face could no longer be described in words.

It was only at this time that he realized that the tricks he wanted to play were useless to Liu Xie at all, and he had already been seen through by the other party before he even made a move.

"Your Majesty forgives me......," Wang Yun knelt on the ground again without hesitation, and said again and again with a trembling body.

The words have already been said for this part, and if he doesn't say anything more, I'm afraid his good days in the future will come to an end.

"Why did Wang Situ do this? I'm complimenting you! Liu Xie deliberately looked puzzled, and took two steps forward to personally help Wang Yun up.

【Ding...... Congratulations to the host for getting 200 Shock Points from Wang Yun! 】

【Ding...... Congratulations to the host for receiving 300 Horror Points from Diao Chan! 】

……

Feeling the constant system prompt sound in his head, the smile on Liu Xie's face became more and more intense, this is the result he wants.

Not only can he earn points on these people, but he can also take this opportunity to stand up, he wants everyone to know, don't think that he doesn't know anything when he leaves, everything is actually under his control.

Wang Yun, who had originally prepared a series of plans, did not make anything in the end, so he respectfully watched Liu Xie walk into Luoyang.

It wasn't until Liu Xie's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes that many people took a long breath, and today was the weirdest day they had ever experienced.

Most people still don't understand how Liu Xie knows so much about Luoyang, and their eyes when they look at the people around them have begun to become weird.

At present, there is only one explanation for this situation, that is, many of the people around them are Liu Xie's people......

……

After returning to the palace, Liu Xie had a different kind of feeling, when he first came to this era, it was here that he first felt the real threat of death.

Then he relied on his own efforts and the help of the system, which allowed him to gain a firm foothold step by step, and now that he appeared in the palace again, his strength has changed dramatically.

Now.

Liu Xie not only has Jizhou and Youzhou, but also firmly controls Luoyang in his own hands, he believes that it will not be long before his strength will be further expanded, and it is not impossible to truly dominate the world at that time.

Of course.

He knew very well in his heart that there was still a long way to go before he could really get there.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie immediately thought of the points he had earned in the recent period, which he had stored for a long time, and was waiting to come back and use these opportunities to draw again.

After a brief check of the system's points, according to the system's prompts, the points he has obtained can be drawn three times in a row!

"The system starts the lottery!" Liu Xie said silently in his heart without hesitation.

【Ding...... Congratulations to the host for the successful draw! Reward: 1,000 pounds of potato seeds! 】

"Come again!"

【Ding...... Congratulations to the host for the successful draw! Reward: 5,000 catties of new rice seeds! 】

"Come again!"

【Ding...... Congratulations to the host for the successful draw! Reward: Heshen! 】

Liu Xie used all the three lottery chances in one go, and listening to the prompt sound of the system, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The reward of the system really didn't disappoint him, just the seeds of rice and potatoes were enough to make his heart pound, not to mention that he also obtained Heshen for the third time.

Regarding the talent of He Shen, he is very clear that with He Shen, he may not be short of money in the future, and with the blessing of the system, it is just around the corner if he wants to make himself rich quickly.

"System, when will He Shen come?"

【Ding...... System prompt: He Shen will come to take refuge in one day! 】

No one knows what Liu Xie did after he came back, only a few people know that when he came out of the hall, he was in a good mood and was in a very good mood......

……

When he returned to the palace, Liu Xie naturally used his former eunuchs, this person grew up with him since he was a child, and Liu Xie naturally did not doubt his loyalty.

Most importantly.

During the time he was away, he had people closely monitor the eunuch Wang Lang's every move, just to see what he did in his absence.

Judging from the other party's performance over the past year, Liu Xie didn't look at the wrong person!

"Wang Lang, how did I let you do?" Liu Xie looked at Wang Lang beside him with a smile and asked.

When he first came back, he asked Wang Lang to find him the carpenter with the best skills in Luoyang City, which was the first step for Liu Xie to prepare for reform.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, those carpenter slaves and maids have been found, and they are waiting in the back garden now!" Wang Lang replied very respectfully.

"Very good......" Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction.

Forthwith.

Accompanied by Wang Lang, Liu Xie came to the back garden, where he really saw more than a dozen people of different ages standing here.

After saluting, Liu Xie went straight to the point, looked at these people and said: "You are all some famous carpenters in Luoyang City, I came to you today for nothing else, just to do what you are best at!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Xie took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to the oldest of them, which was a drawing he had designed in advance, which depicted in detail how a chair was made.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" The oldest old man looked at the drawings in his hand and asked with some puzzlement.

The above things are very simple for him, just by looking at them twice, he knows how to operate specifically, but he has never seen the above things.

"You will know what it is, now all you have to do is to make it as soon as possible, and...... I hope this stuff doesn't let anyone but you know about it! Liu Xie said a few words again.

Liu Xie said this, naturally no one dared to resist, and after asking some details here, Liu Xie waved his hand and signaled these people to leave.

The chair is only the first step for him to change the tradition, Liu Xie knows that it will be difficult for him to do so, but as long as the first step is done well, the rest of the things will become much simpler.

"By the way, you go and have people clean up everything in this back garden, and turn all the useful places here into fertile land!" After the carpenters left, Liu Xie glanced at his back garden, and then looked at Wang Lang beside him and said.

"All cleaned up?" Wang Lang was stunned.

If he can live in the emperor's back garden, the things are all very precious flowers and plants in the world, and it is very rare for ordinary people to get one of them, Wang Lang is a little puzzled why Liu Xie cleaned them all up.

Liu Xie didn't answer, just turned his head to look at him, Wang Lang immediately trembled, didn't say anything more, and turned around and left here.

Of course, Liu Xie knew what Wang Lang was thinking, but although these things in the back garden were very precious, they were overshadowed by the rice and potatoes he obtained.

Wang Lang's movements were very fast, and the back garden under his command was quickly cleared, revealing in front of Liu Xie a piece of land that had just been renovated.

The seeds of potatoes and rice were also taken here by the shadow guards, Liu Xie looked at the potatoes and rice beside him, and wanted to look at the land that had just been renovated in front of him, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

This was his first step in cultivating these seeds, and once the potatoes and rice were cultivated, then the whole world was changed by him.

From now on, the army will no longer be short of food and grass, and the people will no longer go hungry.

Looking at the things in front of Liu Xie, and looking at Liu Xie's performance at this time, Wang Lang probably guessed what the international students were going to do, but he couldn't believe his thoughts.

The emperor is a dignified emperor, how could he think of doing such a thing?

However.

The development of events confirmed Wang Lang's suspicions, and under the stunned gaze of Wang Lang and the guards, Liu Xie personally took the seeds of potatoes and rice and began to work in the newly renovated field......

……

For the next few days, Liu Xie was busy working in this land, and every action of potato and rice cultivation was decided by him personally.

On this day, in the imperial garden of the harem, Liu Xie chose to come here for the first time in a long time instead of going to work in the fields, because the dozen or so carpenters who were responsible for helping him make chairs had already done the things.

Now.

More than a dozen carpenters were all gathered here, and everyone looked at the finished chairs and pointed, which was made according to Liu Xie's intentions.

Merely.

In the eyes of these people, this thing is very strange, until now they don't know what this thing is for, you know, no matter which of these people standing here has a certain reputation in Luoyang, even they can't see what it is.

"Lao Wang, are you sure that this thing is what His Majesty wants? Why do I think it's so strange, don't let Your Majesty blame this thing when the time comes, we people can't afford it! One of the old men looked at the chair for a long time, then looked at the old man who had taken it from Liu Xie's hand at the beginning and asked.

"Don't think too much about what you shouldn't worry about, this is done exactly according to His Majesty's drawings, how can it be done wrong?" Lao Wang glared at the speaker and snorted coldly.

"The old man has been a carpenter since he was ten years old, has he missed it once in decades?"

Lao Wang was obviously a very prestigious existence among this group of people, and as soon as he finished speaking, the other people couldn't help but nod.

But in this way, the person who spoke before lost face, and he pointed to the chairs in a fit of anger and looked at Lao Wang and asked, "Then what do you tell me what these things are for?" ”

Lao Wang obviously knew what the man meant, but he really didn't know what these chairs were for, and his face turned red for a while, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"This is something designed by His Majesty, how can we guess it?" Lao Wang held back for a long time before he said such a thing.

Speaking of which, the others didn't mean to speak again, this is the palace, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will commit a big crime, and they don't want to pay an undue price because of their curiosity.

"Everything is ready?" It was at this time that Liu Xie's voice came from behind everyone.

The moment they saw Liu Xie, almost everyone turned around and bowed respectfully to Liu Xie: "Caomin and others meet His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Liu Xie smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal these people to get up, and then his eyes fell on the few finished chairs, raised his feet and slowly came to the chairs, looked at them carefully, and then nodded in agreement.

"As an experienced carpenter, it's not easy to do this!"

When he said this, Liu Xie turned around and sat directly on the chair, and then his body leaned firmly on the back of the chair behind him and relaxed.

"This ...... It's ......"

The dozen or so carpenters looked at Liu Xie's appearance in amazement, and they couldn't say a word in shock for a long time, they have lived for most of their lives, and they have never seen people do this.

It's natural...... Liu Xie has gained a lot of points!

"From now on, you people will stay in the palace, and from now on you will be responsible for making this kind of thing, as for the remuneration, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly!" Liu Xie patted the chair and looked at the carpenters with great satisfaction.

"Grass people and others thank Your Majesty!" Lao Wang immediately knelt down respectfully with the others.

Being able to enter the palace as a carpenter is something that these people can't think of, and this matter will become the glory of their family when it spreads, and these people will naturally not refuse such a good thing.

As for the rest of the things, Liu Xie handed them over to Wang Lang to deal with, and he didn't need to worry about them, all he was thinking about now was how to promote this chair.

Liu Xie wanted to change not only the tradition, but also to use the chair to develop the economy, at least to make the court rich first, although Liu Xie knew that this first step would not be easy......
