Luoyang Posthouse.
In a spacious room.
Seeing Liu Bei return, Cao Cao stood up and said with a smile,""Brother Xuande, did you gain anything from this trip into the palace?”
"Big brother!"
Zhang Fei shouted.
Guan Yu nodded slightly and twirled his beard, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled bitterly." I don't know what happened. It was fine at the beginning, but the emperor was unhappy later!"”
"Hmm?"
Cao Cao's pupils constricted.
Since Liu Bei was summoned by Liu Hong, it was obvious that he had the heart to put him in an important position. Why would he suddenly be unhappy?
"Hey!"
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu instantly became dispirited.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked,"Xuande, what happened?"”
"Hey!"
Liu Bei sighed.
From the moment he entered the palace, every step and every sentence was told.
Without going through the baptism of the court, he did not understand the details that needed to be respected in the court. He could only ask Cao Cao for an answer.
He saw.
Cao Cao's face grew paler and paler.
In fact, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Brother Meng De!"
Liu Bei's eyes were filled with confusion.”
Cao Cao wiped his cold sweat and said nervously,""The Emperor only has two Princes and one Princess. Furthermore, how can officials discuss the Emperor's family matters? Moreover, the Emperor has always disliked the First Prince, so how can he be the heir?”
"Then!"
Liu Bei's pupils constricted.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and warned,""This is just a test. The emperor will not erase your achievements, but at most, it will be based on your achievements. The three of you are not filial and honest, and Chief Yun is also responsible for man-made disasters.”
"What if you don't give me some money?" Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows.”
"Ha!"
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Fei and said helplessly," Yi De, do you think that the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court will accept anyone's money? They have been hanging around the emperor all year round. The incompetent ones are human traffickers and have no real power. They can only take food cities in their counties. The capable ones are all official positions, such as the new Grand Commandant Cui Lie!”
"I've accepted my fate!"
Liu Bei's eyes were filled with helplessness.
This time, he had single-handedly let go of the opportunity to ride the wind dragon.
September.
Autumn harvest season.
The entire Northern Liang turned yellow.
Corns, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were transported out of the fertile fields one by one.
Now, the entire Liangzhou was divided into Beiliang. The world was shocked. Even the Western Regions, the Qiang Hu beyond the Great Wall, and the Xiongnu were shocked.
What was scary was that after the Northern Liang was reorganized, the first battle was against the Wusun of the Western Regions. It was obvious that the countries of the Western Regions were terrified.
Northern Liang Prefecture.
In the hall.
Xun Yu handed over the latest household register and said respectfully,""General Yan, there are 10 counties and two countries in Northern Liang, 158,000 households and 603,800 people!”
"Pa!"
Yan Chuan closed the household register and said in a deep voice,"It's not enough. We should encourage the people to have more children. Northern Liang occupies a vast area. Now, it's hard to see anyone within a hundred miles. When the population of Northern Liang reaches three million, it will be considered prosperous!”
"Three, three million?"
Xun Yu's eyes widened.
Yan Chuan's eyes were filled with helplessness,"Wen Ruo, you're from Yingchuan. One Yingchuan is almost comparable to Beiliang!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Xun Yu nodded.
Yan Chuan thought for a moment and said with a ruthless gaze,"Merging the two vassal countries into prefectures and counties. The territories of the Western Regions will be called Anxi Prefecture. If the vassal countries are not convinced, send an army to pacify them.”
Xun Yu said worriedly," General Yan, the Qiang and Hu people in our country have submitted to us in the past. I'm afraid there will be unrest!”
"Ha!"
Yan Chuan sneered," Wen Ruo, do you think Zhu Wu's government troops are useless? At the beginning of next year, Ma Teng, Lu Bu, and Xu Rong will send out their troops. No Qiang Hu tribes will be allowed to be independent in the Northern Liang!"”
"Here!"
Xun Yu was shocked.
She never thought that Yan Chuan would have such a strong killing intent.
Throughout the 400 years of Great Han, there had never been a person who could wipe out all the Qiang Hu.
Yan Chuan stood up and looked out of the hall. He said in a low voice,"Recently, there has been news of Liu Bei in the court. What position did Cao Cao hold after returning to the court?"
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with doubt as he said,""Liu Bei met the emperor once and was sent to the Qingzhou Plains to be a plain commander. Cao Cao was also a counselor. The emperor should have given Cao Song the credit!”
"Plain Plains Token?"
Yan Chuan's eyes flashed with understanding.
It seemed that Liu Hong had once summoned him into the palace to undergo a test.
From the looks of it, Liu Bei had failed to pass this test and had only managed to obtain a Plain Field Token.
Xun Yu suddenly thought of something and said,""Xu Prefecture's Mi Clan and Zhong Shan's Zhen Clan have all entered Guzang. They want to discuss the business tax on the frontier with Yan Jiang, as well as the sale of large quantities of corn and other goods!”
Yan Chuan took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice,"Two of the four great business families of the Great Han Dynasty have come to Western Liang!"”
"Yes!"
Xun Yu rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly."The people from the two families are very difficult to deal with. They don't care how much the tax is, but they keep suppressing the price of our Northern Liang goods. It seems that they have already found out the yield of corn and sweet potatoes per mu!”
"No worries!"
Yan Chuan waved his hand.
