Compared with the situation where other places are now about to break out or are already in a stalemate, the actual political, cultural and economic center of Jin State is still bustling and bustling.

It is August, and the autumn is getting stronger on the western foot of Taihang Mountain. Walking on the wide and clean streets in Wohu City, you can see evergreen green trees separating the carriageway and the pedestrian path from both sides. Businesses and travelers from east, west, south and north are either rushing to the outside of the city with heavy carriages, or stopping in three or five steps to appreciate the completely different styles in the city from other places.

Now, a certificate of naturalization in Wohu City has been hyped up by outsiders to a high price of 10,000 taels of silver, but it is still as rare as a rare one, and it is so difficult to find a certificate.

In the eyes of outsiders, the city of Wohu is not only full of gold, but also the safest, most fashionable, most comfortable and most beautiful.... Once you become a citizen of Wohu City, it means that the family and young will enter the upper class from then on and live a peaceful and prosperous life from then on.

According to the rules set by King Zhao Xing of Pingxi, the city lord of Wohu City, the household registration of Wohu City is never sold to the public, but is left to those who have made great contributions to the battlefield or have various outstanding talents and have made significant outstanding contributions to the Jin State.

The list of all the people who are naturalized in Wohu City and the reasons for naturalization must be submitted to Zhao Xing for personal review and registration. It is precisely because of this that the Wohu City household registration is called the most difficult and most expensive household registration in the world.

So what's wrong with the hometown of Wohu City, which is privately auctioned outside? Can someone dare to disobey Zhao Xing's words? In fact, these household registrations are because some old residents in the city plan to develop in the Northeast or the Western Regions and lack funds, so they gritted their teeth and sold their household registration to raise funds.

For Wohu City household registration, which is a carrot and a pit, since the old residents in the city are going to move out, the officials of the government will certainly not leave them empty. After asking for instructions, they came up with this method of auction, and those who strongly requested that those who moved into Wohu City purchase and then make corrections and transfers.

Of course, I think the wealthy families in Wohu City who have become naturalized are almost everywhere, so even if you hold a lot of silver notes from farmers, soldiers, merchants and gold stores, you must first obtain the qualification to move into surrounding cities such as Changzicheng or Jinyang City, and then you will have the opportunity to finally be shortlisted for Wohu City.

The income from the household registration auction of Wohu City is occasionally used to repair public facilities in the city and devoted to public welfare undertakings. The government does not deduct any penalties from it. For the officials in Wohu City, the most important thing they lack is money, so that they will not focus their eyes on the income from the household registration auction.

On this day, a few young and old people walked on the street near the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, with their faces either comfortable, plain or excited.

Walking in the front were a pair of boys and girls who were half old. The girl was wearing a pink dress that was popular in the Crouching Tiger City, and her white skin set off her beautiful smiling face; the boy was dressed in a black warrior uniform, and turned his head from time to time to look at a middle-aged man in his forties not far behind him.

Behind the golden boy and jade girl, there is also an old man with a handsome face and a strong and energetic old man following this pair of golden boys and jade girls.

To outsiders, these four people walk on the streets in the city without any abruptness or incompatible with the surrounding environment. But if people know the identity of the four people of the old and young, they will be so shocked that their chins fall off.

The old man with a long hair and a young face taught four Wuzong Tong Yuan, who had a clear voice. The one who accompanied him, with a expressionless face and silent voice was Zhang Ren, the eldest disciple who had never seen in the city. The two children in charge of guiding the way were not simple, they were the eighth son and the ninth daughter of King Pingxi. As for which wife of the two children were born, it really makes people feel a little confused, so they simply don't mention it.

Tong Yuan knew very well how his eldest apprentice Zhang Ren was stubborn, so after accepting Zhao Xing's task of persuading Zhang Ren, he stayed patiently by Zhang Ren's side, trying his best to enlighten Zhang Ren, hoping that he could reignite his ambitions and not waste all his skills in vain.

Since Zhang Ren was defeated by Taishi Ci and sent to Wohu City, his mood became very depressed. When the Sima family was completely eradicated in Yizhou, and even the fourth Sima Kui in Kunze City was executed on the spot, Zhang Ren's ideals and ambitions to assist the Sima family were completely shattered.

Zhang Ren did not hate Zhao Xing because he knew very well that if he wanted to fight for the world, he had to be prepared to be wiped out. If Zhao Xing and the Sima family were replaced, Zhang Ren believed that the Sima family would only be more cruel and ruthless in dealing with Zhao Xing and his descendants. Zhang Ren was just unable to get out of the double blow of his defeat and the destruction of the Sima family, so he stayed by his master like a piece of wood every day, neither laughing nor worrying, as if the deep inner aura had been completely drained from others.

Tong Yuan asked Zhang Ren as if nothing had happened: "Disciple, I have accompanied you through the Wohu City these days. How do you feel?"

Zhang Ren replied hunchedly: "Wuhu City is very big, with a lot of people, very lively and prosperous."

It seemed that he was leading the way, but in fact he had been paying attention to Zhao Xing's eight son Zhao Zhenying behind him, stopped, turned around and said to Zhang Ren with dissatisfaction: "Master, you are saying this very perfunctory! I don't believe that there is a city in Yizhou that can be compared with Wohu City!"

Zhao Sining, the ninth girl of Zhao Xing, echoed in a while: "What the star is talking about! I have been playing in the city these days. I thought I was having a beautiful woman and didn't have to be forced by gentlemen to memorize and practice martial arts every day, but now I find that this is not the case at all. The master always looks frowning and indifferent, but it makes my niece feel very sad!"

Tong Yuan scolded the two little guys with a face and said, "How do you two little guys understand the thoughts of adults! Because you, Mr. Zhang, suddenly didn't know the direction of life, you, became confused for the time being, and naturally you didn't feel the mood to carefully appreciate the beautiful scenery in Crouching Tiger City, which is like a paradise on earth."

Looking at the three grandfathers and grandsons, the skills of the funny and supporting actors are really perfect. I wonder if they have undergone rehearsals in advance?

After hearing Tong Yuan's words, Zhao Zhenying turned around and carried his small hands behind his back, imitating his father Zhao Xing, and then shouted loudly: "Those who abandon me will not stay yesterday's day; those who disturb my heart will have many worries today. Since the master does not know where to go in the future, why not turn his attention to places outside the Han Dynasty. As my father usually said, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, it is better than wasting time in a daze now!"

Zhao Zhenying had already pulled his sister Zhao Sining away gradually, but the words he said just now were like a flash of lightning that passed through the depths of his heart, completely awakening Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren turned around and said to Tong Yuan, "Master, I will tell you my third junior brother, please let me lead the first army westward into the Pamir Mountains to open up the road to the Great Qin (Roman) for the Han Dynasty."

Tong Yuan nodded with relief and said, "It's so great that you will withdraw from the mud of the Han Dynasty and go to the far west to see it, so as to avoid being left to add sorrow."

A few days later, Zhang Ren was appointed as the general of the Western Expedition by King Pingxi, and Fa Zheng was appointed as the military advisor. He went to the Western Regions to start the establishment of the Western Expedition Army. A year later, the troops entered the Pamir Mountains, officially setting off a new chapter in which the Han Dynasty expanded its territory to the extreme west!
