Chapter five hundred and twenty seventh asking for gifts
After the carriage passed through the Wei River, the gate of Chang'an City was far away, but pedestrians were rare along the way. Since Dong Zhuo's defeat, this ancient capital has been considered a tragic fate and has suffered from war. Even if Cao Cao recovered some vitality after occupying Guanzhong, it would not be possible to restore Guanzhong to a very good time in just a few years. At most, it would no longer be a state of being barren and hungry on the side of the road.
After all, this place is a place to guard against the Han Dynasty and belong to a military zone. It is naturally not as much as the Central Plains’ attention paid to people’s livelihood. Now I have just experienced a great war. The alternation of regimes has had a great impact on people’s livelihood and takes time to soothe them. Therefore, what I saw along the way is quite desolate and dilapidated. It feels less prosperous and prosperous than the temporary capital of Hanzhong.
Of course, these are only temporary.
The Chang'an area is more suitable for the reproduction and life of a large population, both in terms of geographical location and surrounding environment. At least in this era, the 800-mile fertile soil is worthy of its name.
As for the city in Chang'an, the city is indeed much more majestic than the ones I encountered in the past, but that's all. Not to mention the steel jungle where Liu Yi was in his previous life, even the cities built by Liu Yi himself in Xiangyang are worse than those of the cities built by Liu Yi himself in Xiangyang.
Both Liu Yi and Guan Yu have been to Chang'an for the first time, but their feelings are just sighs and regrets about the desolate past.
There is indeed a need for reconstruction in Chang'an City.
Guan Yu got on the war horse. When he was in the procession gate, he looked at the old city gate hole and agreed with Liu Yi's plan to rebuild the Erdu.
Not to mention the Yueyang City and Xiangyang City that Liu Yi worked hard to build back then, it seems a bit petty than the Nanzheng Imperial City created by Liu Yi's disciples.
There was no way, and Liu Yi was given a grudge. Even the largest city in the world was still a little smaller in Guan Yu's opinion.
At the city gate, people who had received the news came to greet him. From a distance, they could hear Zhang Fei's rough voice echoing in the city gate. The deep city gate cave was like a trumpet at this moment, echoing Zhang Fei's voice, superimposing it, shocking the surrounding merchants, and the people covered their ears and avoided them. For those who didn't know why the beasts came.
"Haha, second brother, Bo Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time~" Zhang Fei came up happily. He had only met Liu Yi not long ago, but he hadn't seen you for many years. Now the defense line ahead has been replaced by the younger generation. Guan Yu returned to the court to report his duties. That was the happiest thing for Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu's ears were temporarily deaf. Looking at Zhang Fei, he was quite excited. He flipped off the horse's back. The two brothers hugged each other, and Guan Yu smiled and said, "The voice of the third brother is still so rough."
"Not like that!" Zhang Fei laughed.
"What did the third brother say?" Guan Yu rubbed his ears and said loudly.
Zhang Fei: "..." Why did the second brother learn Bo Yuan's trick to eliminate people?
"Brother has already prepared a banquet in the palace. I'll say you're back today. I'm going to wait here. Let's go and enter the palace with me!" Zhang Fei grabbed Guan Yu with one hand and Liu Yi with the other. Without saying a word, he pulled the two of them and ran away.
"General Yide is now a general of chariots and cavalry, be more steady!" Liu Yi wanted to break free, but Zhang Fei refused to let him, and his hands tightened. Liu Yi stared at him helplessly.
"A butcher is a vulgar person, what are you afraid of? Let's go!" Zhang Fei said, and a pair of ring eyes swept around. Seeing this, the soldiers who were looking around quickly turned their eyes away and did their own things.
You said so, and I have nothing to say.
Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei helplessly and said nothing more. The three of them headed straight to the palace, while Pang De and others who accompanied him went to the military camp to hand over military power.
Liu Bei was indeed planning to take this opportunity to have a banquet for the ministers, and the three brothers could also get together. However, it was in the afternoon and there was still a lot of time before the banquet. However, Zhang Fei brought Guan Yu and Liu Yi over, and Liu Bei was still very happy.
He and Guan Yu, after claiming to be emperor, had not seen each other for six years. When they were old, they were prone to nostalgia. When they recalled the glorious years of the past, the three brothers had too many things to talk about together, especially the great victory in the battle of Guanzhong. Seeing that the revival of the Han Dynasty was expected, Liu Bei was in a state of excitement during this period. When he saw the brothers who had been reunited for a long time, he could not say enough to talk about them.
Liu Yi had no intention of disturbing the three of them to reminisce about the past. After making some polite mistakes, he said goodbye and left. The three brothers reminisce about the past, but he couldn't even insert it.
When they arrived outside the hall, Zhuge Liang was taking Deng Ai on a walk. Beside the two, Pang Tong also brought a young man to walk side by side with Zhuge Liang. When he saw Liu Yi, Pang Tong waved, "Boyuan."
Liu Yi nodded and walked forward. Deng Ai intervened and said, "Sir."
"Shi Zai made great contributions this time. This burden of the country will fall on you in the future." Liu Yi reached out to help, indicating that Deng Ai didn't have to be too polite. In this battle, there were many people who made contributions, including Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, Zhang Ren, Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Pang De, Meng Da. Too many people have made military achievements. The younger generation of the Han Dynasty has begun to gradually emerge. Among the more than 100 generals who are mainly rewarded, 90% of them are young people, which Liu Yi is very happy to see.
"I dare not compare myself with sir." Deng Ai smiled.
"It's necessary to respect the elderly, but there's no need to be afraid. Otherwise, one generation will only be worse than the other. We naturally hope to see that our generation of Han is stronger than the other." Liu Yi slapped Deng Ai and said with a smile.
"Mr. and mentor have not been old yet." Deng Ai looked at Liu Yi and sighed a little. It seemed that Liu Yi's aging speed was very slow. He was grown up by Liu Yi, but now he was standing together and it is not too much to say that he was a brother. Perhaps in a few years, he would look older than Liu Yi when he stood together.
"Age doesn't matter, what matters is depends on how long it is." Liu Yi smiled. Huang Zhong is almost eighty and runs to the battlefield with a knife all day long. That's what the old guy is, he is getting stronger. Liu Yi estimates that this old man may live to a hundred years old.
"You are busy all day, this is not a sign of longevity." Pang Tong curled his lips disdainfully.
"Yes, even if I live for decades, I can live a hundred years long." Liu Yi smiled.
"Come on, look at my newly accepted disciple, Boyue, Liu Boyuan, you must have heard of it?" Pang Tong didn't talk to Liu Yi, and probably if he continued to talk about it, this guy would definitely blame the credit for his appearance, so that Pang Tong would not fall into the trap, pulled Jiang Wei behind him out, looked at Liu Yi and smiled.
"Jiang Wei has met Mo Hou." Jiang Wei stepped forward and bowed to Liu Yi and said.
"No," Liu Yi nodded, but felt emotion in his heart. Jiang Wei became Pang Tong's disciple, Deng Ai followed Zhuge Liang. It seemed that he was right to try his best to protect Pang Tong.
"Don't just say that my disciples have met you for the first time, should they express their feelings?" Pang Tong said unhappily.
Deng Ai, as a disciple of Zhuge Liang, is also a junior of Liu Yi. He is rich. He has armor specially tailored for him. The clothes on his body are also very effective, but they are made by his mother. In addition, accessories, things like Deng Ai never lacks, and things that Tiangongfang does not have. They can be seen everywhere in Deng Ai's house. Even Deng Ai's houses are specially designed and built by Tiangongfang. The treatment is probably only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the entire Han Dynasty.
Pang Tong felt that his disciples were no worse than Deng Ai, and that the equipment was not bad.
"You have never expressed my disciples." Liu Yi retorted.
"Who said no, I gave me a lot of books?" Pang Tong said with a glaring eyes.
In fact, Liu Yi's care for Deng Ai has nothing to do with the identity of Zhuge Liang's disciples, but as Pang Tong said, for Liu Yi's disciples, although Pang Tong gave away books, it was worthless in Liu Yi's eyes, but in terms of the values of this era, it was a valuable gift, not only expensive, but also elegant.
Moreover, in the officialdom, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did take good care of their disciples.
Liu Yi nodded and said, "I will forge Boyue's armor myself, and......"
After touching her body, she took a jade pendant from her waist, looked at Jiang Wei and smiled, "I never thought I would meet Boyue today. This jade pendant was carved by me when I was in Nanzhong. It was not very valuable. It has the effect of calming and concentrating the mind. So she gave it to Boyue, which was considered a meeting gift."
"This..." Jiang Wei hesitated. After all, he had no interaction with Liu Yi, so it was not good to receive gifts as soon as he met. As for the gift itself, Jiang Wei did not attach much importance to these external things.
"I'm not thanking you!" Pang Tong saw Jiang Wei hesitating and cursed with a little regret. Liu Yi's accessories were not priceless. Of course, for Liu Yi, these might be really some gadgets. After all, as long as there are materials, he can carve them out anytime and anywhere.
Jiang Wei was confused, but he still respectfully took the jade pendant and thanked Liu Yi.
However, when I bought the jade pendant, a feeling of unspeakable surged up. The whole person seemed to have been washed from the inside out, his mind became much more ethereal, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Jade can nourish people, but such obvious effect is still a bit surprising.
At this moment, Jiang Wei understood why Pang Tong was so shameless and wanted to ask for something. Liu Yi was known as the world's number one magic craftsman. Originally, Jiang Wei was a little funny, but now, he understood the meaning of this name.
He quickly bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Thank you for the gift from Mo Hou."
"Just like it, a gadget, not worth mentioning." Liu Yi smiled and nodded. To him, it was really just a gadget. His casual works at home were used as toys for children. This shape was something that Liu Yi was more satisfied with and liked, so he brought it with him.
The five people walked around and found a pavilion to discuss the direction of the development of the Han Dynasty.
