Vol 2 Chapter 668: Yanxi 16 years

Deng's house was also designed by Liu Yi himself, but it seems that he has not been here for many years.
When was the last time I saw Deng's?
Ten years or longer?
In the memory, Deng's appearance still stayed when Deng Ai married Guan Feng. At that time, Guan Yu was still alive, but bye bye, in front of him, he was already a dying old woman, and the wrinkles on his forehead were already deep. The eye socket is deeply sunken, and it is difficult to associate with the woman who still has the charm.
"Homeowner ~"
Seeing Liu Yi's moment, Deng, who was originally lying on the bed, seemed to have more energy suddenly, struggling to get up, and Guan Feng on the side quickly helped her.
"I haven't seen you for many years. Sister-in-law ..." Liu Yi sighed and held out his hand to hold Deng. Without knowing what it was like in his heart for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's still the same spirit."
"The concubine could meet the owner before he left, and then he would be content." Deng's head turned sideways, carefully looking at Liu Yi's appearance, and he seemed to be remembered in his soul.
"Mo Yao bullshit, the days are still long." Liu Yi shook his head. This was the second time he said this. After the last time, Huang Zhong disappeared. He now hates to say such things.
"The concubine's own body knows it." Deng shook his head, with some regret on his shriveled face: "There is a word that the concubine always wanted to ask the owner."
"Well, ask your sister-in-law." Liu Yi nodded.
"If there is no Aier, would the house owner accept the concubine as a concubine?" Deng's eyes fixed on Liu Yi.
Liu Yi closed his chest, and said after a long silence: "Yes."
But if there is no Deng Ai, there will not be too much intersection between the two. When he was young, Deng's knowledgeable man was very considerate and thoughtful, and Liu Yi did not deny that there was a period of similar thoughts, but ... After all, nothing happened, and it is useless to say that now, even if they try again, the two can't have any results, unless God can arrange him until Deng's marriage to his husband, they must have an intersection.
"The most important thing in the concubine's life is Ai Er and the head of the house. Although the head of the house has not accepted me, the concubine has always regarded himself as the head of the family. , The etiquette is shameless, and the concubine doesn't want to keep it anymore. Does the owner remember the wooden man who carved the concubine? "
Liu Yi nodded silently.
Deng took the wooden man out of his arms and saw that it was often taken care of. It was a wooden man Liu Yi had helped Deng to carve. Now look at it again, Deng was really beautiful.
"The concubine was always with me, and I haven't been away for a moment." Deng sighed and shook hands to break Liu Yi's palm and put the wooden man up: "Now leave it to the house owner . "
Liu Yi solemnly put the wooden man into his arms and smiled: "Later, I carve a better one."
"It's enough to have this." Deng shook his head, hesitated, and quietly brought his body close to Liu Yi's arms.
Liu Yi froze for a moment, but finally did not push away.
"The owner knows how congratulated the concubine was when he looked at the owner holding his wife like this?" Deng leaned on Liu Yi and said: "It's not long to be with the owner, but it may be The concubine was the happiest time in his life. "
"Without the sister-in-law, the family has been in chaos for a long time, and the girl-in-law of Xiaohuan knows that it can't do anything serious." Liu Yi smiled.
"The concubine still wants to go back to his hometown to see, but unfortunately he can't move. After the concubine leaves, can the owner hide the concubine's coffin in his hometown?" Deng suddenly asked.
"Okay." Liu Yi nodded a little spoiledly: "But I was afraid to wait a long time that day."
"Soon, the concubine's life is very bitter ... really, sometimes, women don't want wealth, it's a pity ..." Deng leaned in Liu Yi's arms, closed his eyes, and didn't open again, his expression was very serene.
There was a cry in the house. Liu Yi silently put Deng's body in place, patted Deng Ai on the shoulder, and left. He didn't go home, nor did he go to find a friend. He walked silently to Tiangongfang and began to help Deng built the coffin, the last side ... really the last side.
The ten years of Yanxi (AD 246) was a period of rapid development for Dahan, but for Liu Yi, this year was not good. In July, Deng passed away, and in September, Zhao Yun also At home, General Liu Bei's grandson was almost dead this year.
Liu Yi left Chang'an with the Deng's coffin, and that was his promise to this woman. He wanted to take her soul home.
At the end of the decade of Yanxi, when Wei Fei brought the news of Wei Yue's death and was hidden in Jiuyuan, Liu Yi didn't know what his mood was at that time, and he had become numb.
The construction of the Yangtze River Bridge has never stopped. After Liu Yi buried the Deng's coffin in Nanyang, his life became busy. Perhaps this is the only way to make his heart feel better.
The construction of the Yangtze River Bridge began in the six years of Yanxi until it was completed in the fifteen years of Yanxi. It took a full nine years, but for Liu Yi, the speed was not bad, and it was completed one year earlier than the expected ten years. In the past nine years, Liu Yi completed the laying of wooden tracks in the Central Plains region including Jizhou, Youzhou, Binzhou and Jiangdong. During the nine years, hundreds of colleges were built in the counties of Dahan and 13 shipyards were built, including three The base is a dock specializing in the production of steam ships, and the rest are basically sea ships.
During these nine years, Dahan has been constantly enriching his maritime experience. Up to now, he has basically taken shape. The annual profits from various docks add up to nearly 10 billion yuan. At the same time, Dahan also maintains a navy composed entirely of steam ships. In the past nine years, Fusang, Sanhan, and Soochow, who had retreated to Yizhou, successively presented books of descending to the Han, and belonged to the country of the Han.
As for technical support, Liu Yi has been clinging, and has returned to the court several times to convince Liu Chan that he can trade, but Dahan's shipbuilding, agriculture, and industrial technology must be in his own hands.
In the 16th year of Yanxi (AD 252), after the completion of the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge and the capital construction of the Central Plains, Liu Yi took his wife back to the North, preparing to go north to the Western Regions. .
"Taifu!" Chang'an, the palace.
Liu Chan, who was already forty-five years old, looked at Liu Yi and smiled bitterly: "Taifu is an old age, why should it be like this? There are still many major events in North Korea and China that I want to discuss with Taifu."
"Everyone says that the old minister is the undefeated commander. In fact, in his life, he never thought that the minister was a powerful general, and the greatest skill of the minister was here." Liu Yi reached out his hands, even if he had passed seventy, but his hands But it is very good maintenance: "The court events, including Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, and Zhou Pingzuo, talents have appeared constantly in the middle of the years. Even if the veteran returns, even if the veteran comes back, it is actually not beneficial to the world. It is better to consolidate the mountains for my lord."
"Otherwise ... Tai Fu Xie for two years?" Liu Chan said helplessly: "In this treasury ..."
"Han should have a lot of taxes in these years?" Liu Yi looked at Liu Chan in doubt.
"It's quite a lot." Liu Zen didn't know how to say: "There are treasures of various countries, pearl agate, and precious things donated by countries in the library, but ... if Taifu asks for money, I'm afraid it will take some time. Japan, at least waiting for this year ’s tax collection to come up, I do n’t lack anything now, that is, the construction in all parts of Central Plains has just ended, and I ca n’t afford so much money at once. Taifu will add two more in the Western Regions this time. Railway, not only to Chang'an, but also to Luoyang and even to Yuyang. I have seen the budget. Now, after more than ten years of preparation, Dahan's iron ore mines are not lacking, but they only hire the money of craftsmen. Almost. "
"How much worse? There are also some savings in the old minister's family. If it is not enough, you can discuss it with Kong Ming." Liu Yi looked at Liu Chan and asked, because this time the railway was very important in Liu Yi's plan, so he was going to grade eight It is indeed costly to build at the level of the level, but it is a penny to pay for goods. If this railway network is built, it will be much easier for the local governance of Dahan.
"This ..." Liu Chan gave Liu Yi a careful look and said, "200 billion ..."
"..." Liu Yi looked at Liu Chan, sure he was not teasing me? The budget of the entire railway line adds up to more than 280 billion, so there is a shortage of 200 billion?
"Taifu!" Liu Chan took Liu Yi's hand and spit out the bitter waterway: "In recent years, with the continuous laying of rails around the Central Plains, the continuous construction of cities and cities, and the construction of various water conservancy facilities, it has indeed made my Dahan more prosperous in these years. Taxes have also increased year by year, but not to mention the maintenance of the army and the salaries paid to officials every year. Most of the money is reinvested in construction. Now these moneys are also from the court industry after I received the Taifu report. Extruded, by the end of this year, the income from the sea should be able to gather hundreds of billions, plus taxation in various places, at least for Taifu to start work. "
After being silent for a long while, Liu Yi said to Liu Chan: "It's a matter of urgency, and he hopes His Majesty can forgive sins."
"Taifu must not!" Liu Chan quickly helped Liu Yi shake his head and said: "Without the last words of the father and emperor, how could this great man, if not Fufu have been running for decades, how can there be today's vision? Chun, now I do n’t say here, it ’s Hetao. There are very few people who have died of death in these years. I have checked the historical data. When I went from Chang'an to Dunhuang, it would take as soon as one month to arrive, but now, It does n’t take a month to go to Dawan from here. The people of the world, including the hundreds of officials in the dynasty, including me, can now live in Chang'an but can clearly grasp the world ’s affairs. They are all the merits of the Taifu. I can be punished by everyone. Du Taifu asked me to guilt, and I am ashamed. "
Has Liu Chan ever been afraid of Liu Yi?
That was impossible, especially when Liu Yi extinguished Wei, and the momentum could be said to climb to the apex. At that time, Liu Yi ’s influence, not to mention that the two phases of North and Central China intersects with him, and at that time, most of the big Han generals were taught by Liu Yi. Even if the father and son held the male soldiers, if Liu Yi wanted to fight back, Liu Chan couldn't stop him.
But Liu Yi quickly surrendered his army right after he wiped out the Wei Dynasty. Without staying at all, he began to rush around to build cities and bridges to build roads. For more than a decade, the time spent in Chang'an may not add up to January. And, there has never been a voice of Liu Yi getting power in the locality ~ EbookFREE.me ~ And Liu Yi himself is basically either on the construction site or on the way to the construction site.
And after so many years, most of those veterans have already passed away. The new generals have little relationship with Liu Yi. The status of Liu Chan is becoming more and more stable, and the fear naturally disappears. Moreover, Liu Yi is now too old and want to do it. Nothing can be done.
Until now, Liu Yi has almost faded out of the court. Although he has the name of Taifu, he does not have the real power of Taifu. The only thing he holds is also the local governments. Without this power, Liu Yi ca n’t do anything. Such a courtier, a few For ten years and one day, it is difficult for Liu Chan to regenerate doubts. To say that among the ministers of Central and Eastern Korea, who is most at ease with Liu Chan, it must be Liu Yi.
Of course, this also has something to do with some people's psychology. Far fragrant and nearly stinky, those who are far away always feel good, and those who are close to each other will inexplicably disgust even if they do well.
"Your Majesty's remarks were heavy." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "Well, the old minister will rest for a while in Chang'an City. When the tax comes up this year, the minister will leave again, and the grandson's grandchildren are at the age of marriage. If there is a suitable one, Please also ask His Majesty to come forward. "
"Sure." Liu Chan nodded with a smile: "When the time comes, I personally marry!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
