After going back, Liu Yunxiang began to study, and he didn't even care about dinner.

When Yan Duan came in, he saw Liu Yunxiang writing something on a booklet while looking at the urban distribution map of Hukou City. I wrote a paragraph, weighed it for a moment, and added a few more sentences.

He came to him, but she didn't hear him. He coughed, she didn't hear, he reached for the map, and she slapped it hard.

"Go, don't bother me."

Yan Du slapped a bowl of fish porridge on the table and snorted: "I have been waiting for you to eat in the hall, urging three times, the food is cold, you didn't go over, I have no appetite, only half a bowl of rice." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang burst out laughing.

"If you don't have an appetite, eat less and save the accumulated food."

"You don't care about me!"

Liu Yunxiang drew another line on the map, and felt satisfied, so he raised his head. first saw the bowl of fish porridge on the table that was still steaming, and then saw that Yan Dui was still angry.

She leaned over and kissed him, "Husband, people are so distressed, why did you only eat half a bowl of rice, do you want me to accompany you to eat some more." ”

As she spoke, she also reached out to hold Yan Dui's face, kissing her on the left and her on the right.

"Tsk, it's cute to look angry."

Yan Twilight narrowed her eyes, "Cute? ”

"Yes, this little face is bulging and fleshy...... Yes! ”

Before Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, she was thrown on the bed by Yan Dui, making a fuss, making her gasp constantly, blushing, messing up her clothes, and finally softening in Yan Dui's arms.

"Is it still cute?" Yan Du pinched Liu Yunxiang's crimson face and asked.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly flattered: "The husband is mighty, not cute at all!" ”

Yan Du was satisfied, picked her up again, and fed her a bowl of porridge.

Liu Yunxiang finished eating the porridge, wiped his mouth, and hurriedly brought the map to Yan Dui.

"No, I plan to build Hukou City into a trade center city with east, west, north and south markets, the city is divided into several major trading markets, the east city is the silk and satin trading market, the west city is the jade trading market, the north city is the medicinal materials trading market, the south city is the other grocery trading market, the center is built to live, food, entertainment and other places for merchants to rest. To this end, it can also be extended to the other four cities, jade processing, herb planting, cattle and sheep supply and other industries, driving the development of the other four cities. Of course, this requires the strong support of the imperial court, first of all, the tax reduction and exemption, the policy is to support, and the four official roads to the east, west, south and north need to be opened. ”

Liu Yunxiang pointed out to Yan Dui as he spoke, why the trade center was placed in Hukou City, and which city was going to build what market, Liu Yunxiang explained to Yan Dui one by one.

"I have traveled all over Hukou City in the past few days, firstly, to see the poor life of the people, and secondly, I have also seen the natural geographical advantages of Hukou City, and the laid-off soldiers will also be the source of labor."

Yan Du saw that the map had been divided by Liu Yunxiang with a pen, and the booklet was clearly written on how to build these markets, what risks should be avoided, and how to operate them after completion.

He tilted his head and kissed Liu Yunxiang, "I'm afraid this time won't be able to form a scale in more than ten years." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "But in the past ten years, the lives of the people in Xizhou will improve day by day, which is the cornerstone of a good foundation." ”

"And in the past ten years, Xizhou can't give the imperial court a penny of taxes, and the imperial court has to subsidize it."

"There is no need for court subsidies, as long as the policy is supported, I will pay for the money."

Yan Du was silent for a moment, "The cost of building Xizhou is huge, and you are very likely to be dragged down." ”

"I'm not afraid, I'm still the queen mother, but I'm poorer, but if it does, then my Darong West will be stable, prosperous, and benefit generations to come."

Yan Du put the map on the table, then picked up the brush and wrote a word on it: Ke.

Liu Yunxiang happily hugged Yan Dui's neck, "You say yes, then it will definitely be done!" ”

At night, the two lingered, and just as they were about to go to sleep, Feng Zheng knocked on the door outside again.

"Lord Wang, there was a small-scale riot in Panlong City, we have to lead troops to rush over overnight."

Yan Du let out a long sigh, then got up and got dressed.

Liu Yunxiang also wanted to get up, but was pressed by Yan Dusk.

"Since the promulgation of the military decree on disarmament and the publication of the disarmament list, there has been a series of chaos in various places, which is also expected, and there is no need to worry too much. I'll go to Panlong City to have a look, and I'll be back in five or six days. ”

"Don't be careless, be careful." Liu Yunxiang said uneasily.

Yan Du nodded, "You just stay in Hukou City and help me pick up someone." ”

"Pick up who?"

Yan Du smiled, "You'll know then." ”

Getting up early the next day, Liu Yunxiang continued to study the construction of Hukou City, which had a preliminary idea, but how to implement it and where to start must be carefully considered.

At breakfast, Liu Yunxiang learned that Hongxuan had also followed Yan Du to Panlong City.

"Isn't it a riot, what are you going to do with Daoist Hongxuan?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"It seems that there is not only a riot, but something strange has happened." Zijin replied.

"Strange things?"

"Well, after the autumn sowing in Panlong City, not a drop of rain will fall, and the seeds planted will not be able to germinate. In case of dry weather, this is not surprising, it is strange that Panlong City often thunders in these days, thinking that it is going to rain, but the thunder stops but it is a sunny day. ”

"If there's a drought, it's a serious matter."

There was little land in Xizhou that could have grown crops, and the grain grown could not feed the people of Xizhou. Just ask Hongxuan Daoist to go, why don't you ask him to do it and ask for rain?

After breakfast, Liu Yunxiang rode out of the city with Zijin, and waited at the gate of the city for a short time, when he saw a team of chariots and horses coming.

It should be the person who Yan Du asked her to wait for, but last night she asked who it was, but he didn't tell her, and he looked mysterious.

Waiting for the carriage and horses to get closer, I saw the person riding the horse in the front, wearing a royal blue robe, quite the style of Zhilan Yushu, as the people got closer and closer, Liu Yunxiang went from being suspicious at first, to not being sure, and then to being surprised.

"Yun Heng!"

Liu Yunxiang ran forward excitedly, and Liu Yunheng also got off the horse, strode forward, and hugged his sister.

"Sister!"

Liu Yunxiang hugged her younger brother, her eyes turned red, and it was only at this moment that she dared to believe that the person in front of her was really her younger brother. They hadn't seen each other in years, and the younger brother had grown his beard.

"Why did you come to Weststate? Where's Daddy? What about your daughter-in-law and children? ”

Liu Yunxiang's voice fell, and he saw Han Sifu get out of the carriage with a little girl with two balls.

"The courtiers greet the Queen Mother." She knelt down, and the little girl next to her looked ignorant, but she also knelt down obediently.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Sifu up, "This is outside, not in the palace, there are not so many rules." Don't call me the queen mother, you call me sister like Yun Heng. ”

Han Sifu smiled and nodded, and asked the little girl next to her to call her aunt.

Liu Yunxiang was about to hug the little girl, but saw that there was a carriage behind her, and a brightly dressed and charming woman got out of the carriage, and the nurse behind her was still holding a child.

"What is this?"
