Although there were not many twists and turns in the war, once the war was done, it would definitely cost money. Although the court is rich now, it has to do more things. The Ministry of Works is a gold-selling cave. Although some things such as glass, fine salt, soap, and tea have now obtained a steady stream of wealth for the court, but the consumption is not cheap.m.

Just for military merit, a lot of money has to be invested every year. Now, with Luoyang Li, we can mass-produce iron, so the next step is naturally the time to renew military weapons.

After the Battle of Jizhou, the Hu Ben, Tingwei and the regular army in various places in the imperial court had already exceeded 400,000. The equipment replacement of these people alone was an incredible number.

There is also the laying of tracks. As iron smelting technology gradually matures, iron ore mining has also been put on the agenda. Prospecting and mining also require a lot of funds. Liu Xie is preparing to delegate this first mining process to the public, allowing private merchants to go to mining on their own to reduce the imperial court's manpower output, and the imperial court is responsible for acquiring iron ore.

It is best to delegate steelmaking to the people, but now that the situation has not been unified yet, Liu Xie is not going to expel technology, so the imperial court has to do it himself. In the long run, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to further improve productivity, but for the moment, it requires a lot of capital and manpower.

After finalizing the research and development and promotion of fertilizers with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Shaofu, Liu Xie personally supervised the matter these days in order to avoid false reports, and the progress was also good. At least in the Heluo area, fertilizers should be put into use in the next year.

Food is the most important thing for people, and the food problem is the basic survival problem. If this problem is not solved, it is impossible to release more labor to invest in other industries. In short, the court is not prepared to fight in the south in a short period of time.

First, the main force was stationed in Jizhou for several years, and it was inevitable that he would be tired of war. Second, the Xinding of Jizhou, the population of the imperial court doubled suddenly, and it took time to completely digest it. Therefore, Lu Bu went out to the town of Chenliu to shock Cao and Sun, making Cao Cao and Sun Ce a little afraid.

Tian Feng was finally invited by Lu Bu. I heard that in order to invite Tian Feng out of the mountain, Lu Bu blocked the door almost every day and almost drove Tian Feng crazy.

However, compared to these, Liu Xie is more concerned about his newly-appointed concubine Zhen Mi. As a veteran of the royal trading company, Liu Xie is an important official in the soon-to-be-established business department. After several considerations, Liu Xie still chose to marry Zhen Mi, which can be regarded as a reassurance for the Zhen family.

After all, the profits of business have been clearly seen by Liu Xie over the years. As the number one person in the Ministry of Commerce, if Liu Xie had not supported this tough backstage, Zhen Yao of the Ministry of Commerce would not dare to take it. Among the upstarts in the court, many people were staring at this position.

After Na married Zhen Mi, the Zhen family was more confident. The most important thing was that Liu Xie didn't have to worry about the Zhen family's rebellion. This was a family that he could completely control.

Of course, it’s not that he is flirting with the old and is just that according to the imperial physician’s diagnosis, Zhen Mi is pregnant and is very likely to be a prince.

With Liu Zheng's embarrassment back then, the imperial physician has become more knowledgeable now. Even if he is 100% sure, he will never dare to say all of his words. In other words, Liu Xie does not care about this matter. Otherwise, if the emperor is just happy and unhappy, his head may fall into the ground.

Now that he has three sons, Liu Xie naturally doesn't care whether he is a prince. The most important thing is that he has another bloodline, which makes Liu Xie very happy. The national policy of the Han Dynasty is to encourage childbirth. As the lord of a country, Liu Xie feels that he should set an example.

On this day, Liu Xie had just left the court and returned to Qiankun Palace to visit Zhen Mi. He was three months pregnant and his lower abdomen had begun to bulge slightly. Now Zhen Mi is a treasure in Qiankun Palace. Even Lu Lingju, who is the main palace, has to coax her. This is also the rule under Liu Xie. The world is great, and in this palace, pregnant women are the biggest.

"Your Majesty actually doesn't have to see me every day. Now I can't serve Your Majesty. Your Majesty should go and see a few sisters." Zhen Mi was hugged by Liu Xie, and even Little Liu Zheng couldn't argue with her. Seeing the little guy pouting, Zhen Mi couldn't help laughing.

"Aren't this all there?" Liu Xie took Lu Lingju over without hesitation. It would be better if there were fewer women. First, there was no need to worry too much, and second, there was no need to worry about the rain and dew, and there would be no palace fighting scenes. At least Liu Xie did not want to be bothered by the intrigue between women while handling the government.

Suddenly, Liu Xie's brows froze and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling surged up. This feeling made Liu Xie faintly rush to a hint of threat.

With a thought, the next moment, Liu Xie's consciousness had appeared on the sea of ​​luck and clouds. Now the court has regained most of the country, and the sea of ​​luck and clouds in the Han Dynasty are far from comparable to those in the past. Looking around, the land of hundreds of miles is full of gold, almost covering the entire Heluo land. Although mortals cannot see it, in Liu Xie's eyes, the sky is golden.

Six giant tripods stand around, suppressing the weather. A thousand-long five-clawed golden dragon crawled in the sea of ​​clouds. As soon as Liu Xie appeared, the dragon's head appeared at Liu Xie's feet.

"Buzz~"

At the middle of his eyebrows, the golden bell suddenly trembled without warning, and the entire sea of ​​luck in the Han Dynasty also churned as if it was boiling. The golden dragon under his feet even made a dragon roar.

"This is……"

Liu Xie frowned slightly, and suddenly felt something. He looked up at the sky, but saw a golden ball of light falling from the sky. Liu Xie was naturally familiar with such a scene. It appeared once that year. It fell from the sky for two days and was divided into north and south. Although one from the south was sure, there was no news over the years. But the other one almost wiped out Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan back then. If Liu Xie had not taken action in time, there would have been no Lu Bu's business now.

And this time, he came directly towards Luoyang, causing the Han Dynasty to react.

Looking up at the sky, the golden ball of light actually came directly towards Qiankun Palace. Liu Xie frowned slightly and looked down. The direction of the ball of light was actually Zhen Mi, or rather, the child in Zhen Mi's belly!

"Rareless!" Liu Xie was furious when he saw this. Perhaps other emperors had such an auspicious sign before their birth. It was a decisive sign, but for Liu Xie, he was the only emperor in the Han Dynasty. As for who will be the emperor in the future, it was up to him, not the decisive sign of heaven!

"Un~"

With Liu Xie shouting loudly, the lucky golden dragon under his feet suddenly soared into the sky and bit it at the moment.

"Buzz~"

The golden dragon of luck, which was thousands of feet long, rose into the sky and covered the sun, but the golden light ball was not weak at all. The golden light bloomed, which made Liu Xie feel a little burning pain.

Under this golden light, the lucky golden dragon kept smiling like ice and snow encountered charcoal fire. Liu Xie was connected to the Han Dynasty's luck and fortune. The luck golden dragon was damaged. Liu Xie was also depressed, but the golden Yang directly broke through the illusory body of the lucky golden dragon and headed towards the Qiankun Palace.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand and the imperial seal appeared in his hand, snorted angrily, and a seal was on the golden ball.

"Swish~"

Jin Yang, who was unable to stop the huge lucky golden dragon, was blocked by Liu Xie with a jade seal at this moment.

"The Seal of the Imperial World has such power!" A scream of exclamation came from the golden light ball.

"Who are you? You dare to offend my country!" Liu Xie snorted angrily.

"Man?" The voice was filled with a contempt for the people: "I was transformed by the Ziwei Emperor Star, dedicated to the king of the human world. Your fourth son is the emperor of the heavenly realm. I should be enlightened by my seat, but I will not let go!"

"Ziwei?" Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly. Naturally, he could not give in. But facing the Ziwei Emperor Star, even the imperial seal could only barely stop it. This was his only way besides the lucky golden dragon.

"Buzz~"

At this moment, the golden bell suddenly sounded in his mind, and then, Liu Xie vaguely heard a scream. Then, the ball of light hangs weakly as if it had lost consciousness, and was swallowed by the golden dragon of luck falling from the sky.
