● After Chengdu, Hanzhong, and Yongzhou, Liu Bei was already waiting in Chang'an, and when Liu Xuan arrived in Chang'an, Zhang, who was guarding Jianning, sent news that the affairs of the Zhurong clan had been arranged, and at the same time, several tribes also vaguely expressed their intention to belong to the Han Dynasty, and they were currently negotiating.

To Liu Xuan's surprise, this group of people also included the tribe commanded by Meng Huo - Meng Huo was not the barbarian king whose prestige shook the Southern Barbarians later, at this time he was just the new patriarch of a tribe, although he had some prestige in his own tribe, he could not affect the entire tribe.

So Meng Huo didn't have much ambition at this time, but I heard that this kid had a lot of thoughts about Zhu Rong, and even Liu Xuan knew that Zhu Rong would meet Liu Xuan, and he was originally going to meet Meng Huo to discuss the cooperation between the two families, but he didn't expect to be captured by Liu Xuan halfway.

As a result, Meng Shu has one less wife, and Liu Xuan has more concubines!

And the most important point for Zhang is to destroy the possible union of the various tribes of the Nanban, have the opportunity to divide and attack, and let Zhu Rong's younger brother bring around to lobby, and the Nanban has gradually stabilized.

"When I go back this time, remember to send someone to take Zhang's position. ”

At this time, Liu Xuan had already converged with the people of the imperial court, and the huge team was slowly moving towards Luoyang, while Zongzheng Liu Bei was beside him, and when he heard the words of the Son of Heaven, he immediately asked: "Zhang Jiuzhen is in the southern barbarian land, this time is a critical time, if you rush back, will there be changes in the southwest?"

In Liu Bei's view, Zhang has the ability, and although the conditions in the Southern Barbarian Land are harsh, it is a good place for military generals - because there is merit to stand, this is also related to the fact that the imperial court will not have major military operations for a considerable period of time in the future, Zhang can take credit there, will he be willing to come back?

What's more, Nanban has just settled down now, and at least Zhang Duo has to be guarded for a few years!

Liu Xuan shook his head: "It's okay if there are too many generals who take turns to walk around, after all, they won't take the initiative to start a war with foreign countries for many years in the future, so they have to let these generals have something to do!"

In addition, the environment there is indeed too bad in Nanban - there are countless snakes and insects, and the miasma swamp is also full of Han people, who are not adapted to the environment there, and it is estimated that Zhang is also irritable after living for so long - Zhang is not irritable, and his family can't stand it.

Therefore, Liu Xuan felt that it was best to replace someone else after a few years of proper guarding.

"As for the familiar problem・・・・・・ deputy general Liao Hua will not move first, and after the new chief general is familiar with it, he will move the deputy general, so that the alternate transfer will save some trouble!"

Liu Xuan's suggestion can be regarded as a solution, Liu Bei nodded and did not continue to talk about this topic, but talked to Liu Xuan about what happened in Luoyang when he was away.

Because of the relationship with the communicator, Liu Xuan doesn't have to worry about not knowing about major matters, but some trivial things can't be reported to the Son of Heaven for everything, so Liu Bei really doesn't know what Liu Bei said.

For example, Huang Chengyan's Ministry of Engineering had already built the first ship that met his philosophy, although it was a little later than he requested, but it was said that the indices were so perfect that they could be put into use without any further adjustments – and even if they could be mass-produced.

In addition, the armament of the ships has been determined - large sunset cannons are arranged in the front and back of the battleship, there is a rotatable gun mount, and each ship gun has three guns, that is, there are six main guns.

"However, Huang Langzhong said that she is going to design a special main gun with greater power and longer range, and only install one on some capital ships, but the specific situation is not clear, Your Majesty wants to know and ask Huang Langzhong directly!" At least if Huang Yueying quit now, no one dares to say that she can take over this class.

It's the new 'main gun,Liu Xuan is really a little curious,I don't know what kind of weapon it will be."

For now, a battleship has two six sunset cannons, a Huanglong Tianxiang attack array, and a rocket flame dense attack array, and then it is equipped with other magic arrays according to different functions, so it can be said that the combat power of this battleship is still above some generals.

Because these arrays are specially strengthened, as long as the energy provided can be used all the time, plus after the battleship has been specially tempered, the endurance of these arrays is much better, and there is no need to consider that the endless use of these formations will cause irreparable damage to the battleship itself.

In this way, the combat power that the battleship can exert is even more terrifying.

"Really...... Not bad!"

Liu Xuan wiped his cold sweat, to be honest, Huang Yueying did much better than he expected! Although he didn't build ocean warships when he was in the Xiuzhen Empire, he went to the starship era, but at the beginning, he didn't build a ship that collected so many weapons and systems.

At that time, it was still an era when the monks themselves were fighting, and ships played a role as a transportation auxiliary.

It was not until later that the weapon system was slowly added, and the battle in the universe became more and more fierce, Liu Xuan was still thinking about whether to remind him, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary, Huang Yueying's pursuit of weapons is stronger than his own.

Moreover, after the manufacture of this kind of ship, the size of the ship is not small, and it is not much different from the ships of later generations, but the draft is much less than that of later ships, and it is because of this that these ships can sail in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River waterway.

However, Huang Yueying also said that the largest of the two waterways is to accommodate ships of this level, and if you really want to continue to build larger ships, then you have to build them in the harbor.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the ship to sail in the ocean, then the draft, that is, the weight of the hull itself, cannot be the same as the ship built now in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, maybe the draft is not deep and there is no danger, but if there is not enough weight in the rough sea, it is impossible to sail safely.

This is caused by the environment, and Liu Xuan has no way to solve it -- for example, when sailing in space, he definitely thinks about more than just a few directions.

In short, the development of the Han navy is very rapid, and now that the ships have also come out, the next thing to do is to let Yu Ban and Gan Ning lead the sailors to familiarize themselves with the ships as soon as possible - now train in the Yellow River, and at the same time seize the time to design and build large ships that can run rampant on the sea.

In fact, even if Liu Xuan didn't say it, Huang Yueying also told his father Huang Chengyan about the development plan of the future ship, and he already knew the goal of the imperial court, so he did not stop working after completing the task assigned by Liu Xuan, but recruited everyone who participated in this production to discuss the next step in detail.

The manufacture of warships, even by means of cultivation, can only be achieved step by step, and it is impossible to reach the sky step by step. Even if you have skills, you still have to hone your skills a little bit!

Therefore, the tonnage of the ships that Huang Chengyan built next is not large, barely reaching the level of destroyers in later generations, and the volume of the ships currently built is similar in appearance, but the draft is deeper.

At the same time, there are no more improvements in the weapon system, but a lot of effort has been put into the defense, and even a defensive circle has been added, which can make the hull become more resistant to attack for a certain period of time when activated. ..., Liu Xuan doesn't know these things, but Liu Bei, as Zong Zhengqing, is the emperor's uncle today, so even if he doesn't participate in these things, he will know some general information, and he can just say it to the Son of Heaven at this time.

"The Ministry of Industry did a good job this time!"

He really hasn't done it before, and it's hard to say at this time, this thing will only know the effect after it has actually been carried out in actual combat.

However, this kind of thinking is worth encouraging, and he hopes that his subordinates will be more open-minded, only in this way will the speed of development be faster, and make up for the huge gap between the Great Han and the Xiuzhen Empire in the shortest possible time.

Walking and chatting all the way, Liu Xuan looked back at Zhu Rong, who was not far behind him, this woman still had a tense face, as if she had been greatly wronged, but she didn't think about running away now, because after this period of time, she already had a very deep understanding of what kind of group of people caught her.

Whatever she is not able to deal with, not to mention those few generals, just those delicate girls can also clean her up like a child, and even the man who looks a little thin can also turn himself over (Cao Bao).

What else is the possibility of escaping this? Obediently followed, fortunately, after she was honest, everyone did not embarrass her, and what she was most worried about did not happen, the man who said, 'Come for herself, did not touch her, and she couldn't help but suspect that the sentence might just be casually said, the Han Emperor was just here to solve the problem of the southwest.

As for yourself?

"Maybe just a trophy?"

The mood is becoming more and more complicated, and it seems to be weak for a while, and the wildness that Liu Xuan liked most is all gone, just like a poor worm with a broken claw, a tooth and a serious injury, so he has to hide in a place where others can't see and lick his wounds.

Liu Xuan didn't think about recovering her spirits, and he wasn't a masochist, so be it, and when she gradually adapted to the new life, her spirit would naturally recover.

Just let Diao Chan take care of Zhu Rong a little, Liu Xuan didn't care anymore, and he didn't even say a few words along the way.

And the only few times I was telling her about the current situation of the Zhurong tribe.

"Anyway, your clan is doing well now!"

It's just like this, which makes Zhu Rong even more entangled.

Diao Chan and Cai Yan also asked Liu Xuan: "Is this good?"

However, Liu Xuan didn't take it seriously, so they didn't have much to persuade them, so they had to help Zhu Rong adapt to the new role as much as possible, after all, as soon as he entered the Han Palace, his life would change drastically, and even his identity and some habits needed to be changed.

Of course, when today's son looks at those rules more loosely, especially when only his family is there, and Zhu Rong because of his special identity, it is estimated that he will not usually see outsiders, so as long as he guarantees some basic things, the rest can be arbitrary.

So on the part of the road that was about to arrive in Luoyang, Zhu Rong began to receive some teachings about the etiquette of the palace, and I don't know if it was what happened on this section of the road that made her feel discouraged and finally gave up resistance, or because of the situation of her own tribe, she chose to compromise.

In short, although Zhu Rong did not have too high enthusiasm for learning, he was still learning after all, and Liu Xuan, who was secretly observing, immediately allowed Diao Chan to start teaching her some basic cultivation methods.

These things are the foundation and must be learned, and it is better to learn late than early. In addition, the strength of all the women is not bad now, so even if Zhu Rong has any thoughts, she can't come up with any tricks.

As for the more profound things, it will not start to be taught until Liu Xuan is sure that Zhu Rong is not a threat, at this time it is only the simplest cultivation method, and there is no method to use. ..., just like that, Liu Xuan finally returned to Luoyang, and then got up again in the morning, dealt with some trivial things, took a walk, laughed with a few of his concubines, did not be ashamed of activities, and slept...... Such a regular day.

In a blink of an eye, several years have passed, at this time it is already the winter of the twentieth year of the Han calendar, this year's weather is not very good compared to previous years, the weather is dry and cold and no snowflakes fall, and in the summer, there is a drought in some places in the south, but there is a heavy rain in the northwest, if it is not for the dragon qi of the Yellow River has been controlled by Liu Xuan, the Yellow River will make a fuss.

But even so, the banks of the Yellow River have been affected.

The entire imperial court was busy throughout the year, and the areas where serious disasters occurred needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, not only to clean up the mess but also to properly arrange the affected people.

The problem in the south is that grain production has been seriously reduced, but fortunately, the last thing that Dahan lacks now is grain, and as long as the price is controlled and some profiteers are not allowed to take the opportunity to cause trouble, the drought in the south will be better solved.

Of course, because of the drought, bottled water began to appear on the market, which was relatively fresh at this time.

Liu Xuan did not express any opinion, but Xun You, the head of the household department, immediately ordered the household department to purchase a large amount of bottled water and send it to places where the drought was severe, and it can be said that although the drought in the south was the most serious, it had the least impact.

The impact of the heavy rain in the northwest is relatively small, and the Yellow River is not noisy, in short, the north is relatively calm. However, this year's grain must have been affected, but even so, the Han Dynasty could not eat enough grain, and once again sent and sold a large amount of grain to the north.

"At present, nearly forty percent of the grain demand of the northern Dai countries is based on purchases, and in addition to the Han Dynasty, there are three countries: Beiyan, Beizhao and Northern Zhou. ”

In the past few years, he has gradually felt that his health has deteriorated and his energy is insufficient, and the situation in the court is one year at a time, and he gradually feels that his thinking cannot keep up with the speed of change in the court, so he took the initiative to resign last year and left the court.

The one who came up was Chen Lin, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima Fang, was added to the Ministry of Rites as the left waiter.

As for the vacated position of Henan Yin, it was taken over by Chen Gong - Chen Gong was recruited into the court not long after Liu Xuan returned to Beijing, and directly entered the Imperial Historical Observatory as a servant of the Imperial History. After returning to Luoyang again, Sima Lang did not change to Jingzhao Taishou, but came to Luoyang to serve as Henan Yin, so this time it was Henan Yin who was vacant.

In addition, the court has changed very frequently in recent years, almost half of the older generation has left, and the people who have been replaced are Liu Xuan's cronies and important ministers, the most representative is Xun Qian Situ, and Lu Zhi, who originally served as Situ, also left the court to return to his hometown to retire at an old age.

The rest also have their own promotion changes, but the changes are in line with their achievements, such as Zhuge Liang, who has been helping Huang Chengyan in the past few years, so he simply served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, but I am afraid that this position will move in a few years, after all, Zhuge Liang is not specialized in manufacturing and other things.

At present, there are still old ministers who occupy important positions such as the six departments and nine qing, and there are only a few people left such as Fu Wan, although Huang Fu Song and Cai Yong are old ministers in the three dukes, but one is the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven, the father of the current queen, and the other one has not been able to do it for a few years, and there is even news that Huang Fu Song has considered giving up the post of Tai Lieutenant and going home to enjoy his old age.

"Time has passed, the court has changed, and the old people are almost gone!"

Sometimes, Liu Xuan will also sigh, but he just sighed casually, if he really wants to keep this group of people, it is impossible. ..., although the development of Dahan has been at a high speed in recent years, and the situation is getting better and better, these people have not made trouble for themselves.

Especially when it comes to some issues related to change, this group of people is always the biggest resistance.

"The most annoying thing is to persuade me to accept concubines from time to time... ・・・Why do you want so many women?I value quality over quantity!"

Huang Yueying glanced at him: "Since you value quality, then don't rush me to hurry up and research Pegasus!"

At this time, the two of them stood in the test site and observed the progress, and the white horse in front of Liu Xuan didn't know what generation it was, but looking at the pair of wings on the horse's back, he had vaguely seen the scene of the Pegasus Army covering the sky.

"How long is it until the real Pegasus?"

Huang Yueying kept taking notes while observing, and the pen in her hand kept writing: "It's much smoother than expected, maybe the first real Pegasus can be born in a few years, but it doesn't matter how long it will take to really form a group... ・・・”

Speaking of this, Huang Yueying glanced at Liu Xuan and asked him to come with him: "Compared to this, how do you look at this flying dragon?" I am already making the final observations, maybe it won't be long before it will be slaughtered......

"Slaughter ......"

He was very speechless about the words used by Huang Yueying, but the scene in front of him still made Liu Xuan admire: "It's really good!" But after looking at it, there was a black line: "It would be better if you didn't spit out letters like geckos!"
