"Although I suffered a defeat, overall, the general has promoted the prestige of the Han Dynasty in this battle!" Deng Ailio gave the battle report sent by the court to Liu Yi with some excitement. The grudge between the Han and the Eastern Wu began when the late emperor occupied Jiangling, and almost captured Guan Yu's retreat in the middle. This time, Guan Yu led his army to annex large area of ​​land in Jiangdong in one fell swoop. For Guan Yu or many veterans of the Han Dynasty, this battle was not a big victory, but it was absolutely relieved.

If you say you are a public revenge against Cao Wei, you will be a personal grudge with Jiangdong.

Liu Yi looked up and looked at Deng Ai weirdly. He was not yet a son-in-law in his family. It was so anxious.

"Uh..." Deng Ai felt a little uncomfortable when Liu Yi looked at her: "Why do uncle see me like this?"

"It's okay, I'm more concerned about how much money Sun Quan can spend now. Luoyang and Chang'an will be built by the end of this year. Then we will build several mining machine tools here, waiting to use the money." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled.

"The court demanded 5 billion." Deng Ai smiled and said, "paid in three years."

"Not enough." Liu Yi shook his head, making Deng Ai a little stunned. Five billion is already a lot, right?

"The emperor is still too young. With Jiangdong's current territory and the foundation of the Sun family, 5 billion yuan, let alone three years, can be used now. In fact, it can be changed to let them pay 1 billion yuan a year, for ten or twenty years. In this way, although we have obtained less every year, it is still winning continuously and can also curb the development of Jiangdong. With Jiangdong's current territory, it is almost 1 billion a year. With those three counties, Jiangdong will not improve any more than ten years. And our dynasty will be able to pacify Cao Wei and unify the world in ten years." Liu Yi shook his head and said with a smile.

"Are you too cruel?" Deng Ai said with a wry smile. He felt that it was already very good now.

"The kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself. If you can completely defeat Dongwu with one stroke, that would be the best." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Lu Xun is a little capable, and the general is too anxious, otherwise he might not be able to do so."

After saying this, Liu Yi felt a little drifty. When did Lu Xun and others become some abilities in his mouth? But this is not important. Anyway, the person who confronted Lu Xun will not be considered himself. He may never meet in his life. If he thinks about it, he will feel much more at ease, at least he will not be slapped in the face.

Now all ethnic groups in Hetao have basically calmed down. Those who are willing to accept the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty and build farms to stay. They are unwilling to be driven out of Hetao. As for wherever they go, regardless of Liu Yi's affairs, although the Wei Dynasty began to annex large quantities of the border areas, they obviously did not have the intention of head-on encounters at this time. As for further north, there is a Great Wall blocking, it is not easy to come in.

Although Liu Yi has to do a lot now, it is basically the same as when he was in Yunnan, focusing on development. In addition to transportation, people's livelihood issues must also be considered. What kind of economy is suitable for the north to support it. Jingzhou has a cycle formed by the combination of mulberry and fishery, and Yunnan and Shuzhong are similar. However, in the north, Liu Yi can think of only mining and industry.

The improvement of skill level is not just the improvement of attributes, but his mentality continues to change. After entering the master realm, it was a kind of investment and love. However, after reaching the master realm, with the emergence of that overwhelming sentient beings, Liu Yi began to take many things lightly. Except for his family and what he wanted to do, he began to become indifferent to other things.

The great Han Dynasty has developed to this day, both soft and hard power have surpassed the Wei Kingdom. It can even be said that within hundreds or thousands of years in the future, it will be difficult for other countries to catch up with the great Han Dynasty. Liu Yi now wants to innovate more and continue to compile the works of the natural craftsmanship.

Although the Nine Books of Tiangong had been written, as the realm continued to improve, Liu Yi gradually discovered that there were still many things to fill in. Nine Books were not the limit. So what he wanted to do now is to study the steam engine and advance the era to the steam era. The second is to continue to improve the Tiangong and open things, so that this book can form a complete and huge system that can be passed on to future generations, allowing the Han Dynasty and China to always sit in the position of world hegemony. Even if the dynasties change, it cannot shake China's hegemony in the world.

To put it this way, it seems a bit noble, but when it comes to Liu Yi's status and realm, spiritual pursuits are often more important than simple pursuits of wealth and power.

Of course, in contrast, I also have a very indifferent view of the world and very objective. If Dongwu can be destroyed directly, it is better than letting him continue to survive and the poisonous snake stare at him in secret and may come and bite the big man at any time.

"Go and tell your mother, and prepare to set off in two days." Liu Yi stood up and said to Deng Ai.

"Where are you going?" Deng Ai was still chewing Liu Yi's words, and looked at Liu Yi with a daze when he heard this.

"Returning to Chang'an, the general has returned to the court. You are not young anymore. President Chang'an has finished dealing with your affairs first. In the northwest, there is Zilong and Jiang Wan, which is in chaos." Liu Yi glanced at him and said.

By the way, the matter of his daughter must be combined with Zhuge Liang. If it can be done, it will be a good thing.

"Here!" It's about his lifelong event, and Guan Yu's daughter Deng Ai has also seen it...it's still very good.

In the next few days, Liu Yi was arranging all the things for himself after he left. The track from north to Jiuyuan, and there must be a track from Lingju to Dingxiang horizontally. In addition, there is a track to Longxi. Now that the chaos in various places has been settled, construction has begun. The remaining money is not enough to do too much, so he simply used it to lay the track.

On the eighth day of the March 19th, Liu Yi, who had finished all the work, told the Shaofu to be responsible for supervision along the way, took his wife and daughter, Deng Ai's family and Wei Yue's family to the road and headed to Chang'an.

...

Compared with the peace on Liu Yi's side, the imperial court has been busy recently.

Liu Yi went to the Xiongnu and Dingxiang to set up Yunzhou. The court sent a group of officials to be responsible for the operation of Yunzhou. This was not too much pressure on the Han court at present. After all, there were few people there and there were not many management talents needed. However, this time, the three counties of Yuzhang, Lujiang and Luling were captured, so many things were needed.

The reconstruction of the navy and the rearrangement of defense lines, the prefects of each county, county magistrate, and even county magistrate, and county magistrate, are all needed to be sent. This problem is actually not big. The court still has enough talents. The real question is who to send?

Jiangdong is not as good as Hetao. In recent years, Sun Quan developed in Jiangdong, neither population nor wealth could compare with Hetao. At least in the eyes of many people, the prefects of the three counties, the county magistrates and even the troops stationed in various places were considered fat.

Although there are many official titles, there are more people competing for them. To this day, the power of aristocratic families has gradually taken shape. Naturally, they have become dissatisfied with the current treatment of aristocratic families. Especially the emergence of academies, which has robbed a large number of resources that originally belonged to aristocratic families. In the past, they were recommended, but now there is a trend of competing for employment. This has also made many people anxious. Some people even proposed to imitate the Cao Wei law of establishing a ninth rank official. Of course, some changes and compromises can be made.

Recently, the court and the central government have been quarreling about this matter. Some people think that the current system is the way for the Han Dynasty to catch up with and catch up with the Wei Dynasty. Some people think that the current system is suspected of being contrary to the ancient rule.

In the court, there are two sects, which are cited by the classics every day, plus the filling of the three new counties, and the problems of the academy. You can use other rewards without promising your children to enroll in school...

In the court, Liu Chan smiled and occasionally answered a few words. In this case, it was not convenient for him to support one side publicly. Zhuge Liang had a headache. Liu Yi went through a lot of hardships and tried to open a new door through gentle means. Now some people want to close it, which is a matter of trouble. But now many civil and military officials in the court have begun to criticize these, which also means that the power of the Han family has begun to be saturated, and they are not satisfied with the status quo, and are ready to fight for power.

Before the world was unified, some people began to overthrow the system they had set. Once this system was released, they would probably be dissatisfied with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Han Dynasty. The army that was originally close to the imperial power would probably fall apart. At that time, although the Han Dynasty was still there, it was just taking the old path of the previous dynasty.

This door cannot be closed.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan. Liu Chan should understand this truth. Now that Liu Chan doesn't speak, Zhuge Liang can only stand first and wait until he leaves the court before going to talk about this matter in detail with Liu Chan.

"Okay!" After looking at the sky, Liu Chan was a little tired. He stretched his waist and looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and said, "You guys, please take a break, too."

The ministers stopped quarreling and focused their eyes on Liu Chan again.

"The quota of officials in the three counties of Yuzhang has been set." Liu Chan looked at the civil and military officials in the court and said, "The list has been read before. You may have misunderstood me. I just notified you that the list has been set. Unless these people's great festivals are losing, there will be no changes. I don't understand why the two are quarreling now?"

"This..." Li Yan looked at Liu Chan in shock: "Your Majesty, this is a major national event, how can you..."

"Oh? I think I don't have the qualification to make decisions or have no wisdom to identify people?" Liu Chan looked at Li Yan with a smile.

"I dare not." Li Yan bowed quickly, and his heart suddenly became heavy. Liu Chan, who had rarely taken the initiative to express his opinion before, had always been relatively modest, has suddenly become stronger, which makes Li Yan feel something wrong.

"Sikong Dinghetao, the general defeated Jiangdong for the sake of the Han Dynasty, not for your own interests. Now the general and Sikong are about to return to the court. I think what the ministers should be talking about now is how to strengthen the country and the people, rather than fight for power and profit. Do you agree?" Liu Chan looked at Li Yan with a smile and said.
