In the middle of December of the third year of Zhongping, the first batch of salt-making craftsmen personally supervised and protected by Guan Yu and personally trained by Liu Bei arrived in Jincheng County.

Escorted by Guan Yu, these salt-making craftsmen arrived at the salt-making workshop on the edge of Qinghai Lake, and then moved into different parks according to the different processes they were responsible for.

At this time, the raw materials for the iron salt basins, stirring rods, filters, etc., all needed for salt production were ready, and the craftsmen engaged in Sun Qian personally followed up on the matter, stayed in the salt making workshop, and personally supervised the production of fine salt by these craftsmen.

Sun Qian planned to make the first batch of Liangzhou fine salt before the year as a New Year's gift to Liu Bei.

At the same time, Liu Bei also got news from Luoyang.

The imperial court believed that Lu Zhi had perfectly completed his tenure as pastor of Jizhou, and that the situation in Jizhou had been smoothly transitioned during his tenure, from war to normal, and Lu Zhi had ensured that there was no large-scale civil uprising in Jizhou, and had contributed to the rapid recovery of agricultural production in Jizhou.

So in November of the third year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong issued an edict to recall Lu Zhi, and preliminarily decided to worship Lu Zhi as a lieutenant, so that Lu Zhi was promoted to the third duke.

Liu Bei was happy about this, and of course, he was also happy for the arrival of his family.

Because Liu Bei's position of power in Liangzhou was basically secured, Han Ning and Han Xiaodie set off from Luoyang at the end of November, and Han Rong personally arranged for the samurai to escort them all the way.

In mid-December, the two of them successfully arrived in Ji County and reunited with Liu Bei.

Lu Zhi went to Hebei and Liangzhou, all made small contributions, and after the war, he served as an official in Shangshutai, served the imperial court for a period of time, and then served as the pastor of Liangzhou because of his military exploits.

It is not very unlikely that you will be able to record Shangshushi, become a real Zaifu, and complete the lowest achievement of entering and exiting the phase.

If Lu Zhi is willing, you will take the initiative to "interview" those girls, and select a few bad girls for Lu Zhi to continue the incense.

And because of my status as a top magnate, the one who can be my concubine is also a special person.

In particular, with Lu Zhi's status, it is very complicated to want to take a concubine.

Is this the path of less beauty and badness?

However, the actual situation is often to allow people to follow the rules, and there are seven words in the rules.

That promotion route made people not have a weak sense of déjà vu.

According to my teacher's promotion route, Lu Zhi must have really stabilized the situation in Liangzhou in the last step, so that Liangzhou resumed the governance of the imperial court, so before I return to the imperial court, should I also point the sword at the eighth prince?

Bagong may be no problem, after all, Lu Zhi is still eighty years old, but Siqing's low-level officials are a sure thing.

There's nothing bad about that?

Since the end of mid-November, the low-ranking officials have not yet been worried, but the big officials and small officials have completely cared.

As for the sons and daughters of eunuchs below the social class, even if they are concubines, they will especially consider being concubines.

Unless it is an emperor or a king-level figure, this may not be as exciting as the official eunuchs, and the concubines are basically used to stabilize the family status, and there are many concubines.

Because of Lu Zhi's low popularity and low power position in Luoyang, it is not extremely negligible that he will be in the future, and because my teacher was able to return to Luoyang to serve as a lieutenant, it is said that it is very unlikely that he will directly record Shangshu and grasp the power, so very few famous officials and small officials in Luoyang City have ended their attempts to have a relationship with Lu Zhila.

It's a good deal.

For the sake of the family's future, it is a shame to send a concubine to a hero like Lu Zhi as a concubine.

And what's even more interesting is that there are only two men behind Lu Zhimu, a wife, a concubine, and only two children, and the personal family is still in an embryonic state, which is the time when the family population needs to be replenished.

Without that perfect resume, plus my status as the ancestor of the Han family and the designated inheritor of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Right Clan, it is also something that can be considered when he is seventy years old to be promoted to the eighth prince and become the chief assistant of the empire.

So even the official eunuch family with a low level in Luoyang City ended up thinking about using a male servant to serve Lu Zhi, even if it was just to be a concubine, but if he gave birth to an heir, he could get a piece of the pie from Lu Zhi's petty luck and take the family to heaven together.

An Gang is a simple man, even if his son has not yet become the top magnate of the empire, your life still maintains a simple nature, and you are naturally not prepared for the current grand occasion, and you are frightened by the people who flock to the door, so you hurriedly invited your in-laws Liu Bei to preside over the small game.

Lu Zhi's life history since then is like a myth and legend, which has to make the mainstream social opinion generally believe that Lu Zhi has no stingy luck under him, and that stingy luck has prompted Lu Zhi to go all the way from a weaver to the top power now.

Especially ordinary people, don't think about it, being a maid in someone's house depends on skills and appearance, if you want to serve An Gang's life, at least it is impossible for a man from a local wealthy family or a wealthy merchant family.

Liu Bei has no bad feelings for those guys who rush down to the door to deliver men.

Liu's mother served as a Shangshutai official in the imperial court for a long time, and had previously won military exploits in the battles of Sijiang, Lujiang, and Hebei, and successfully completed the tenure of Jizhou pastor, and completed the tasks given by the imperial court, so that the situation in Jizhou transitioned smoothly, and returned to Luoyang to be promoted to the eighth duke.

On the one hand, it seems that we are struggling to take care of our identity, and on the other hand, we are also worried that if our boy is really good, he will take away Lu Zhi's favor for my boy, what can we do?

Let's calculate what we need to pay - it's just a good dowry for a beautiful old man.

Therefore, after cutting off the big officials and small officials, he went to Lu Zhi's mansion in Luoyang to visit An Gang's mother, and went down to the door to sell his young and beautiful, gentle and virtuous lady, knowledgeable and reasonable, and good at male popularity, hoping that his own boy could not be allowed to serve Lu Zhi, even if he had no serious reputation.

It's definitely something I'd like to see.

How far else can I go?

But as an old man, what do I actually have the right to say in that matter, that power is under Han Ning's hands, I am sure that you have decided to take a concubine for Lu Zhi, so that anyone can stop it, and An Gang himself can agree, otherwise it is not filial piety.

Without that title, and without a huge military exploit, Lu Zhi perfectly meets the requirements of [Successful Achievement and Preparation of Four Concubines], which does not mean that even if Lu Zhi is a cover-up, I can set up four concubines in the middle of my wife.

With Lu Zhi's status, it is true that two children are enough.

Lu Zhixi, who had not been able to reunite with his family for a long time and stayed alone in the empty house, watched the old men of Daliangzhou all day long, was victorious, and launched a round of in-depth exchanges with his wife and concubine that night, fully expressing his longing for his wife and concubine.

Before the expression of longing began, the eight of them leaned under the bed and continued to keep warm, during which Han Rong and Lu Zhi talked about something.

Down!

Sending money and things is considered special, and even before the eunuch family expressed the hope that the men in the clan would come to serve An Gang's diet and daily life, it was to ask for a small name, if there was no child, it would not be possible to give a concubine status.

In Han Ning's opinion, seventy is too little, and when you think of a small group of hateful grandchildren and grandchildren on your lap in the future, your eyes will narrow, and the motivation to live a few decades less is gone.

The bad thing is that Han Ning is a simple person, he has never forced Lu Zhi to do anything, and he knows Lu Zhi's independent nature better, so he made a decision for me, but asked Han Rong and Han Dadie to ask Lu Zhi's opinion before they went to Liangzhou.

Even if I make another contribution from now on, if I make a mistake, I will be one of the people who will speak in the future of the empire.

I am not yet a county marquis-level noble, if there is a major breakthrough, the title has not yet reached the top, and it belongs to the top of the empire.

We suspect that Lu Zhi and his own outsiders also envisioned it that way.
