In the evening in the east of Chang'an City, the curfew time is approaching, but there is still a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.

"Jizhou's big victory?"

"It's all written in the Luoyang Di newspaper, I heard that one...... I will return to the court in a few days......"

"Shhh...... How is this good, how is it good......"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first guard is senran, ten steps and one post, destroying the coordinated garden scenery.

It seems that the court soldiers patrol and escort as usual, but the soldiers talk with a Shu accent, and many relatives and maids pass by, all bowing their heads in fear, and the atmosphere is very tense.

These strangers who broke in in the morning were all guards of the new faction of Liu Yan, the king of Shu, and it was said that they were "protecting" their head from being assassinated by the Luoyang puppet dynasty.

In an attic, Wang Yun was dressed in court clothes, silently watching the movement outside, until a voice sounded: "My lord, Luoyang's writing." ”

The customs of the Han Dynasty were pure, and the adult was the exclusive name of the parents, and the person who came was the eldest son Wang Gai.

The text is stamped with the seal of the cabinet, and it is very simple, just asking Shu and Chang'an to submit, and a few words of the matter can be read in a sweep.

"Submit to the ......" Wang Yun sighed slightly, a little regretful, should not lead Liu Yizhou into Beijing, the people of the old Liu family have always been inch by inch, and when they ignite their ambitions, they can no longer be extinguished - not to mention this Liu Yan, which one of Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Bei is not like this?

The situation is now, Chang'an is caught in the middle and must fall to one side, since Liu Yan went to Beijing to be crowned king, the situation has been beyond his permission.

"I originally thought that Luoyang would fail in Jizhou, and there would be a chance on the side of Chang'an, but there was always a saint who hinted at it, who knew ......"

Wang Gai's face turned pale when he heard this, and he boldly said: "You can't convince the king of Shu ......."

"This is the prince of the real power clan, and he will not be forgiven, and my old bones can be regarded as planted in it, so don't think about some impossible things...... Wait for the ending. ”

Wang Yun's tone was unreasonable, and he waved his eldest son to retreat, and the sunset slipped into the sky, and the shadow fell on the old man's straight back.

In Chang'an City, the weather is shaky.

After a while, there was a slight noise, which made Wang Yun frown: "What's the matter?"

The lights lit up in the darkness, and the flickering flames cast a soft and slender shadow, which shocked Wang Yun's heart.

"It's been a long time, father-in-law...... Or Prime Minister Wang. ”

"It's you...... Gai'er contacted you?" Wang Yun was a little annoyed, none of these juniors in the family were obedient, the righteous daughter Diao Chan was like this, the nephew Wang Ling was like this, and now the eldest son Wang Gai was also like this!

Diao Chan put down the lamp and did not answer, and now it makes no sense to say this.

Wang Yun was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Ying Wu asked you to be a lobbyist? I am a Hanchen, and I will never surrender to you in violation of righteousness...... Gai'er doesn't know, but don't think that I don't know the identity of you earthlings, it's all you locusts who caused the big man......"

"Who said that?" Diao Chan was surprised, she knew that this stepfather was not a person who could be moved casually.

Wang Yun stubbornly closed his mouth and did not respond.

Diao Chan groaned and said, "The righteous father may know something, but the one I want to tell the righteous father about you may not reveal many truths...... I am not an earthling...... The world itself...... The truth of the Battle of Jizhou ......"

She said bit by bit, and finally said lightly: "You must be aware of many changes, the climate, aura, and species in this world are all changing mutately, and it is by no means the same as recorded in the Book of Songs in the past, we must adapt to such drastic changes...... You have taught me "Zhou Yi", the trigram is cloudy, Tianxingjian, and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. ”

Wang Yun listened to her without saying a word, his eyes flashed, and he exhaled: "Guanlong, Hanzhong and Shu have been the roots of the Han since the time of King Gaozu Han, and it is impossible to unify the culture, and now the Qiang and Han miscellaneous places are even more extraordinary...... Hugh said that these are useless, take out the northern and southern armies to defeat us, and witness the martial arts of your emperor...... and Destiny. ”

Diao Chan was stunned, looked at the old man's back, and said slowly: "I will convey it to His Majesty...... Take care. ”

She remembered that her lord had said that in every age, there are always people who have been left behind—they can't walk anymore.

After the light flashed, the attic was silent, and the night breeze passed by.

The old man closed the window in a dejected manner, and stood there for a long time in this darkness and no one, until Wang Gai cautiously came up and asked, "My lord?"

"Ask for leave from the court for me, saying that I am bedridden and closed the door......"

For more than a decade after that, Wang Yun did not appear in public again.

.........

In the middle of April, the atmosphere in Jizhou gradually returned to stability, and it was still very desolate, and 300,000 people were stationed in the fields, which seemed lively, especially where the emperor's palace was located.

This year, the cold in the north made the summer come late, just in time for the spring farming and production, and after the war passed, everything was on the right track, and the boiling national spirit tended to calm down when the people were busy with life, and the real dragon also went into the abyss.

It can be said that the world is peaceful, and it can also be said that they are preparing for the next war, depending on people's mentality and perspective.

The weather was clear, the rising sun evaporated the dew on the grass at the edge of the field, and Ye Qing took a group of civil and military officers to check in the field.

The Han Empire has always paved roads and built roads, and set up pavilions extensively.

A straight and wide official road, flanked by large wheat fields, newly planted wheat has grown, and there is a dragon king walking clouds and rain, the rain is abundant, and the length is lush.

From afar, you can see people working in twos and threes.

According to the summary, there have been 730,000 people, a total of 190,000 households willing to move here, combined with 100,000 surviving households in Jizhou, there are 200,000 households with household registration. Guo Jia said this, sighing.

The whole Jizhou was empty, in fact, the war was chaotic, and the population dropped from 60 million to 40 million, of course, the Han court actually controlled only 35 million, and there were 5 million in Shu and Chang'an.

Perhaps, this is the capital of those few people who dare to disobey.

Ye Qing listened, and just smiled - to restore the Jizhou endgame, stop mobilization, resume production, the Queen Mother recently wrote a letter to inquire, and replied to comfort him, these are the duties of the emperor.

There was a busy scene in the field, and Ye Qing looked at it silently.

"Your Majesty is worried about the grassland Hu people?" Guo Jia asked, he already knew his order, and he would stay in Jizhou for the next ten years to guard against the grassland.

"Murong Zheng lost five thousand when he entered the army, and he lost a lot of vitality at the beginning of his foundation, and he had to suppress internal turmoil, so don't worry too much about it in the past two years......"

Ye Qing shook his head and said casually: "The tuntian system is a little worried, the vertical economy is only responsible to the central finance, which is very good, but the organizational form cannot use the military system for a long time, this military and civilian system is slightly better, and the efficiency will slowly decrease in the end, and after defeating the Wuhu, it will be the time when the bird is exhausted...... It's the trend. ”

Guo Jia pondered and spoke: "Continue to maintain a generation, just alleviate the initial financial scarcity of the founding of the country." ”

"Well, after their generation, the second and third generations will be converted to the civilian system, population growth, land annexation, etc., it is inevitable to be limited to agriculture, and they have to rely on industrial ......" Ye Qing stopped and looked at Zhuge Liang: "By the way, have the ten government-run iron yards been restored?"

Zhuge Liang was in good spirits, and he was recently responsible for renovating the blast furnace of the former dynasty iron field, red bricks, and clay kang, and he had some results: "It has been restored and has begun to produce the fire spirit steam engine...... This thing is really good, but it's a pity that it's a bit bulky, so it can only be used in the workshop, if it can replace the ploughing cow as the real majesty said, it will be of great significance......"

At this time, the scale of urban workshops is not large enough, continuing the tradition of supplying officials, soldiers, wealthy businessmen, and citizens nearby, and it is not enough to penetrate the products into the countryside, which is related to the lack of convenient road transportation.

Ye Qing didn't predict anything, only smiled: "Take your time, as long as the road is correct, there will always be improvement and success, I may not see this day, but you young people can still see it." ”

"How so?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, he was not used to the monk's perspective.

"Your Majesty has no borders. Zhuge Liang said in an affirmative tone, with a straight face.

"Haha...... You little slippery head, I have to consider being a pro-virtuous minister and a villain, and send you to the black land of the Northeast. ”

"Uh......"

The busy and stable atmosphere continued until the evening, and when Ye Qing returned, the sound of frogs sounded in the field, crisp and pleasant.

The entire starry sky was covered at the end of the horizon, and the vast starlight of the Milky Way was falling, and it was like this for eternity.

Ye Qing waved away his close ministers and guards, stood alone on the dark field, quietly looking at these stars, stretched out his hand to hold the North Star, the five virtues of the real person are keenly comparable to the vision of the yang god, and he can feel the entire starry sky around the palm of his hand, slowly rotating, witnessing the axis of rotation of the earth.

一qiē is really the same......

Come to the gate of the palace, Queen Xiaomi...... Or said that Qianqian came out to pick him up, and the two didn't speak all the way, only communicating with their divine senses.

"Husband is in a bad mood?"

"It's okay, it's a pity that I didn't stay here for long...... By the way, how about the memories of the Great Priest's clone?"

"There are a lot of useful things, but I can't find the information of the Wutong Phoenix Seal, the heavenly immortals are all long ago and secretive, and I suspect that the Great Si Ming deity has reservations, so I didn't instill this kind of information into the clone......"

"Are you sure?"

"Come and see. ”

Ye Qing took the crystal diamond from her hand, observed the naked curled girl inside, and frowned: "Confidentiality level ......"

A layer of vague fog enveloped his vision, and he was startled in his heart, and this familiar feeling of luck shielding appeared again.

Based on the previous two experiences, it shows that we are about to get closer to the truth.

"It seems that I still have to go back, the Imperial Capital Royal Library, there must be some hidden ancient information, this is the only way to obtain, but it is not easy to talk in the Yujun Wang......"

Qianqian blinked: "Didn't the husband say that there will be the king of the county to be released to the north, maybe it is the opponent that the king of the county wants to get rid of, isn't this easy to say." ”

"Clever girl. Ye Qing laughed, not wanting her to worry too much about this matter, so she changed the topic: "The Great Si Ming himself didn't contact me again, it looks like he's in a hurry, and he has a bit of a businesslike taste......"

Qianqian smiled kindly: "I asked about this matter, and she said that according to the old practice, everyone's merit is certain, and the specific amount depends on the completion of the preliminary analysis of the Star Monarch Ship, but there is a time difference between the ground and the earth, and it is estimated that when the reward is given, the husband has already returned to the ground." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Oh, by the way, the Queen Mother sent another article to ask about some matters related to the cessation of mobilization and the resumption of production and life. ”

"I know what she means, these 300,000 soldiers can't leave for the time being, I'll investigate when I go back, the only son in the family has been demobilized, and I have to go back when I'm old, and it's estimated that the 200,000 young and strong will have to be turned into Tuntian soldiers......"

"Hmm...... Don't stay with me at night, husband. Qianqian glanced at her husband and said meaningfully: "The two sisters of Jingyu and Ha Yun will go back to the East China Sea in a few days, and they may be responsible for opening up the South China Sea, and they will basically not return to the Central Plains." ”

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and nodded: "It's okay, I'll go over now." ”

The words dissipated in the quiet night, the cool breeze was blowing, and the lights of the Han Palace seemed to be a small boat in the dark ocean, drowning in.
