Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth trouble
"What's wrong?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi in confusion as she passed by. Although she was facing her back, she could sense the low pressure emitted from Liu Yi for many years. She could only feel the feeling of depression when she passed by the door.
"It's nothing, I just think of some troubles recently." Liu Yi shook his head and quietly put his son's book in his arms.
"Where is Cheng'er?" Lu Lingqi leaned her head and looked at the room, leaving Liu Cheng's shadow, and said in confusion.
"Yesterday he was asked to supervise the construction of the Hanzhong to Chang'an track, and he left early in the morning." When Liu Yi turned around, the smile on his face had become warm, making people feel like spring breeze.
"He himself?" Lu Lingqi frowned.
"What about that?" Liu Yi came out of the room and asked back.
"Cheng'er is only twelve years old, how can your husband let him go alone?" Lu Lingqi said dissatisfied.
"Ganluo can be the prime minister at the age of twelve, and our son is no worse than Ganluo!" Liu Yi smiled and said, "All the things I asked him to do in these days can be done well. Besides, although the things over there are a little cumbersome, they can also hone their patience."
"How can you be such a father? You don't know how to feel sorry for your son at all." Lu Lingqi complained dissatisfiedly: "He is your biological child."
"What about that?" Liu Yi looked at his wife in confusion.
Lu Lingqi suffocated her chest and didn't know how to answer the conversation. She glared at him angrily: "Eat."
baffling!
Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi in confusion and followed her to the restaurant.
The breakfast was light, but it was nutritious. This was also the eating habit that the Liu family developed over the years. There was one person missing on the table, and it felt like something was missing. Lu Lingqi didn't know the truth, so she didn't feel much, but Liu Yi, who knew the truth, felt a little empty.
On weekdays, Liu Cheng's meals are very interesting. The young old man usually sits upright on the table, eats a few bites in etiquette and elegant manner, and then comments on the taste of the dishes, but no matter whether they are delicious or not, they will eat them all. Although he can say a few words, he does not blame the cook. He gives people the feeling that he is like a little old man who has seen through the world. He only finds it funny on weekdays, but now he only feels that this family is missing something.
"Madam, the foundation in Luoyang is about to start digging. It takes about one or two months. If my husband is not here, I will be able to come back at the end of the year." Liu Yi smiled at Lu Lingqi after dinner.
"Where is Cheng'er?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"It's almost the same." Liu Yi said vaguely, and he was unsure either.
"Old and young, don't care about their homes!" Lu Lingqi hummed twice, but her movements kept helping Liu Yi pack her clothes. While talking to Liu Yi, Liu Yi nodded absent-mindedly.
"Be careful." Lu Lingqi looked at her distracted husband helplessly.
"Here." Liu Yi withdrew his thoughts, nodded, bid farewell to his wife and daughter, and took his side out, but did not leave the city, but went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
"How can Bo Yuan have time to see me today?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi in confusion.
"I want to ask you some things." Liu Yi asked: "Is there an age limit for joining our army?"
"Yes." Pang Tong nodded and said, "Usually, according to the Han law, you can join the army at the age of fifteen. When you reach twenty, you must register with the government office for signs. However, over the years, the world has been in chaos and the population of the world is also known. The land of Jingshu is still good, but in this bitter and cold place, the methods of conquest are different. Based on height, as long as you reach six feet and seven, you can join the army. Some tall men also have to join the army at the age of twelve or thirteen. However, there should not be many. Moreover, recruiting soldiers in Shu requires a certificate of household registration. However, Xiliang has not yet established a household registration, but also provides your own household registration for the establishment of a clan. Moreover, our army does not lack troops now, so although we have withdrawn troops, it still needs a certain assessment. Not everyone recruits them. Why would Bo Yuan ask this?"
"Shi Yuan helped me pay attention to the new recruits in the army during this period. Cheng'er left a letter to join the army." Liu Yi took out Liu Cheng's letter from his arms and handed it to Pang Tong, sighing.
"What did he think?" Pang Tong was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly looked carefully, and he was also anxious.
Liu Yi trained his children in all aspects. Whether it is nutrition, spiritual, mental, and academic, the conditions of the Liu family naturally cannot starve their children. Moreover, Liu Yi has always paid great attention to nutrition. In addition, Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi are both tall, and the various growth attributes of the family, although they are only twelve years old, they are already seven feet per person, which is completely enough to join the army. Now, after the Han Dynasty dismissed some of the Cao army, they began to recruit soldiers in Guanzhong and Xiliang.
Xiliang, Bingzhou and Youzhou have been places where elite soldiers have been produced since ancient times. If Liu Chengzhen really wants to join the army, his stature and martial arts have been trained since childhood are enough, and the young man's mature way of speaking...
Pang Tong patted his head: "I'll order someone to find him."
"Don't make a big fuss. There is no war yet. If you find it, don't disturb him and leave it to me to deal with it." Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong and said, "This military general in Guanzhong knows him a lot. I guess he is going to Xiliang. I think the Lanchi Camp recently conducted a practical exercise, and the target is the bandits and bandits from all over Xiliang in Guanzhong and Xiliang."
Liu Yi still remembers that he went out for the first time when he was naughty, but almost died in the battle between the government army and the bandits. The military exercise of Lanchi camp was not to eliminate the bandits, but to make them be more obedient and not to come out and wander around without any trouble.
Pang Tong naturally understood what Liu Yi meant, and nodded silently and said, "Don't worry, Bo Yuan, I'll deal with this matter, you..."
"I'll wait for your news and write another letter to Zilong, but Zilong has never seen Cheng'er now. He is afraid that he will hide his identity when he joins the army. Just ask Zilong to pay more attention to the better ones in the army." Liu Yi stood up and said.
His son is indeed excellent. Even though the soldiers do not need to be tested for intelligence, he has been following Lu Lingqi since he was a child and has far surpassed his peers in terms of strength and martial arts.
After saying goodbye to Pang Tong, Liu Yi returned to Chang'an and arranged the next month of work. In a month, the tracks from Hanzhong to this side should be able to be opened. The wooden tracks from Chang'an to Luoyang have begun to be laid now. The roads are simpler than those on the other side and will be much less time to lay. When the two places are unobstructed, the transportation of materials will be written simply.
"Sikong, the foundation has been laid now. Can you start doing it?" Back at the Chang'an construction site, the official in charge of the matter came to inquire.
"It's OK!" Liu Yi checked the properties of the foundation and gave the drawings designed by Liu Cheng to the other party, saying: "According to this picture, there are also various mechanisms on the water circulation, which are included on it. I will come back to check in one month."
"Here!"
Liu Yi immediately took his personal guards to Luoyang. According to the current situation, in the next few years, the war between the Han and Cao Wei will be a small-scale friction, and there will be no big war. His son wants to make achievements. He is so smart and proud that he will not choose Luoyang, but will choose Xiliang, which is more likely to have a war. But Luoyang has to see, what if he guessed wrongly?
In order to take care of his son's emotions, Liu Yi specially told Pang Tong not to make a statement. Just two people know about this and cannot be rumored. Otherwise, Liu Yi would be worried that his opponents would cause trouble for his son or even assassinate him.
However, this also increases the difficulty of searching and can only be investigated undercover. Moreover, with Liu Cheng's intelligence, it is too easy to hide himself as long as he enters the army.
Half a month later, Luoyang.
"Why are Bo Yuan absent-minded these days? But what's the matter?" Liu Bei had already inspected the Luoyang area, but there was actually nothing to inspect. Although the harm caused by Dong Zhuo was repaired after Cao Cao took over, he fought for many years. Cao Cao's political center gradually moved from Xuchang to Yecheng. During this period, although some people proposed to repair Luoyang and think that the capital in the future, it has not been implemented. Therefore, the Heluo area is naturally not very prosperous now.
Yanshi is quite complete, and in addition, the levels of Hulao Pass and Yique Pass are relatively strong.
"It's just that I've been a little tired recently, which has made His Majesty worried." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head. He did have some insomnia recently and was in poor spirits.
"You and I have been in charge of our monarch and ministers. Bo Yuan has something to do in his heart, but he can't hide it from me." Liu Bei smiled and shook his head: "Since Bo Yuan doesn't want to say it, then don't say it, but if there are any difficulties, you can just tell me bluntly."
Liu Yi nodded: "I dare not bother Your Majesty for some family affairs."
Liu Bei did not ask any more questions, and walked on the construction site in Luoyang with Liu Yi. Looking at the city wall that had been pushed down most of the time, he sighed and said, "I, Yun Chang, Yide became famous here. I didn't want to come again now, but things have changed. Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu... In the past, the eighteen princes and millions of troops were so vast. But to this day, I am the only one who still exists in the world."
Liu Yi nodded. It was almost forty years since this incident, but the three Liu Bei brothers have indeed gradually gained their own reputation since then.
Thinking about Liu Bei's life is amazing. He has been through most of the world. Now he has turned around and returned. No wonder Liu Bei has so many feelings.
When people get old, they tend to think about the past. Even if they are glorious now, for Liu Bei, what is even more unforgettable is probably that time.
"Boyuan, do you think with the current momentum, how many years will it take for me to pacify the world?" Liu Bei suddenly looked at Liu Yi and asked. This was not the first time he asked Liu Yi this question. He even asked Zhuge Liang and others, and he must have an estimate in his mind.
"Although our army is now strong, Sun Quan may not join forces with our army again. In five years, he can conquer Bingzhou, but after taking Bingzhou, he will conquer the Central Plains. If he is enemies with the two families, it will take at least five years." Liu Yishu said.
This is not his nonsense. With the current military equipment of the Han army, if he can go further in five years or make various machine tools, the Han Dynasty will enter a stage of rapid development. By then, it will be a by-pass to wipe out the world.
