Chang'an in July is obviously a bit cold.

The prosperous market in the past is now in a depressing state.

Even the Rangers who were seen everywhere in the past are now nowhere to be found.

It seemed as if the city fell into silence overnight.

Zhang Yue sat in the carriage and looked at the deserted streets and cities. He knew where the merchants and rangers who used to be noisy in the city were going?

They have all gone to various parts of Guanzhong, ready to harvest autumn.

The autumn harvest once a year is a feast.

Especially for today's Chang'an merchants, how much grain can be purchased during the autumn harvest actually determines how much money they can make next year?

You know, it’s not as good as the beginning of the country now.

As the population in Guanzhong grew, land output stagnated.

Food shortage in Guanzhong continues to occur.

Nowadays, just to maintain the existence of the huge Han Dynasty palace and bureaucrats, the Han Dynasty brought millions of stones of grain from Guanzhong to Beijing every year.

The vast fleet of grain ships forms a long dragon in the Luoshui, the Yellow River and the Wei River between April and May every year.

The grain transported from Kanto is extremely costly, with an average shipping cost of several dozens of yuan per stone of corn.

Therefore, hoarding grain in Guanzhong became a business that never loses money.

Just like the real estate industry in later generations, you can make money by buying it early, and if you don’t buy it, you will lose money.

As long as you have food in your hands, then waiting for the spring and summer season to come will make a steady profit. If there is a natural disaster or war, then the profit will be ten times more than easy.

So every autumn harvest, the merchants in Chang'an City, whether they do grain trading or not, flock to the entire Guanzhong, waving the Wuzhu coins in their hands, desperately purchasing grain.

Just like the real estate industry in later generations, even the capital of the ship industry that is not even close to IT and even the shipbuilding industry, which is not a big deal, has also poured into the real estate industry for development.

But the problem is that not only the merchants, nobles and bureaucrats in Chang'an City know that this grain transaction makes money, and hoarding grain is a sure profit without losing money.

The landlords and powerful men in the countryside also knew this truth.

Therefore, every year around the autumn harvest, various armed fights caused by purchasing grain often take away dozens or hundreds of lives.

but……

This situation will be reversed soon.

Zhang Yue knew that once the high-yield wheat seeds he promoted in Xinfeng exploded, it would take less than three to five years to ensure that the self-sufficiency of Guanzhong grain could be guaranteed.

Maybe it can support other regions of the country like in the Warring States Period.

This also means that the food transactions between the powerful and the merchants are about pills.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents!

Zhang Yue could already imagine how much the businessmen would look at him at that time.

Thinking of this, the palace of Jianzhang Palace was already in sight.

Back to Jianzhang Palace, in his own small building.

A eunuch came up and reported: "Shizhong, you have sent a few documents from you these days when you left Beijing. I dare not split them apart without authorization. They are all stored on the desk in the study..."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."

Then he came to the study, picked up the sealed documents, opened them and saw that they were the newspapers compiled by Lantai.

It talks about hot matters in the government, the country, and the world for a period of time.

It can also be regarded as the welfare of him, the minister of the Shizhong.

Zhang Yue picked it up, looked carefully, and then his eyes stopped on a certain passage in one of the newspapers.

"In the sixth month of summer, the Marquis of Duke Shanyu appointed his son Zuo Daduwei Hulugu as King Rizhu..." Zhang Yue said softly, his face flushed.

He smiled and said to himself: "It seems that the map of the Xiongnu's Ghost has risen!"

If he had expected it was not bad, this "Hulugu Gu" should be the "Fox Lu Gu Shanyu" recorded in the Han Book.

The real gravedigger of the Hun Empire and a friend of the Han Empire.

If this great and talented Chanyu had not destroyed the tradition and internal order of the Hun Empire bit by bit, the Hun Empire would have not collapsed so easily.

As for why he is said to be the map of the Xiongnu?

The reason is very simple. What he did is similar to the Go map.

They all destroyed the foundations of an empire.

Moreover, this Fox Lu Gu Shanyu may be more powerful than the Go map.

This man simply planted the seeds of melee, division and fight between the Huns.

Especially when he deposed the Zuo Xianwang Xianxian, he almost competed with Ge Map to announce the Soviet election.

You should know that although Zuo Xianxian of the Hulugu Shanyu was his cousin, he was the son of Taibo of the Huns.

Why?

Because, the current Huns, the Marquis of the Duke of the Dun, have two legitimate sons.

The eldest son is Hulugu. The name of the second son is not recorded in the history books. It is only known that he was later appointed as the General of the Left.

About five years later, Shanyu, the Duke of Dun, died of illness in the army, and his deathbed was passed on to Hulugu.

But the problem is that Hulugu was far away in the north of the Mo at that time, and the envoy went to send a message, but he waited for a month but did not come to the royal court to ascend the throne.

Moreover, the nobles around Duke Hou Shanyu thought that Hulugu was probably in poor health. Like the Soviet Union, the Shanyu in the late Xiongnu Empire was a sick person, and the Shanyu and the Shanyu and the Shanyu suddenly died of illness. Therefore, the Xiongnu nobles at that time were afraid of establishing another short-lived Shanyu, so they supported his second son, Zuo General, to be the Shanyu.

After the throne ceremony was completed, Hulugu led his army to the royal court.

Now, the Hun Empire was directly on the verge of civil war.

According to tradition, it is probably impossible for these two brothers to end if they don’t fight one to death.

But... the facts are unexpected. These two brothers who should have been incompatible with each other were staged a story of brothers, respect and humility in the court of the Huns, which can only be seen in the ancient kings recorded in Chinese history.

The two of them refused to rank Shanyu, and in the end, the left general who had already ascended the throne said: "Since you unfortunately die, you will be passed on to me!" The humble scene ended.

Therefore, Hulugu Shanyu, who regarded his left general as Zuo Xianwang, vowed to the heavens and vowed that the position of Shanyu would be inherited by him after his death.

So this Zuoxian King of the Huns became known as Taibo of the Huns.

But I never expected that the "Taibo" Zuo Xianwang, who was much healthier than the Hu Lu Gu Shanyu, died in front of Hu Lu Gu.

Since Taibo was dead, Hu Lu Gu was unceremonious and took away the inheritance power of his son's ancestors.

This directly led to the collective rampage of the Hun nobles who were fearful and loyal to the ancestors or who were united because of the ancestors' personal charm.

This has led to the continuous internal friction among the Hun royal family.

Just twenty years after Hulugu Shanyu's death, the Hun Empire fell apart.

The wise men were afraid of Hu Hanye, and successively joined the Han Dynasty.

Since Maodun Shanyu, he has spread across the Asian continent and once dominated the world, hitting the Han Dynasty, kicking the Yuezhi, suppressing the Donghu, enslaving the Western Regions, and once invincible in the world, quickly declined.

It can no longer pose any threat to the Han Dynasty and civilization.

However, now, Hulugu is not Hulugu Shanyu, nor is it even Zuo Xianwang, the heir to the Hun Empire.

It was just a royal family who had just emerged and was appointed King Rizhu, responsible for Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue had to sigh that Li Guangli was really lucky!

If his Cheshi strategy passed in the court, he could face an opponent with great ambition and talent. Li Guangli could probably win easily when facing such an opponent.

Maybe even, you can achieve great results if you have enough resources.

Just as he was sighing about this, he heard someone coming outside the door report: "Zhang Shizhong, Mr. Guo is here..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "Hurry and invite me!"

Now, he is only a friend like Guo Rang in the palace.

Especially this Guo Jiezhe was promoted some time ago. Because of his diligence in serving and diligent in the king's affairs, he was promoted from the order of the envoy to the Minister of the Zhonghuangmen.

Of course, Zhang Yue's contribution is made.

Because he took office as Zhonghuangmen was implicated because of Princess Nanxin, he was deposed as the Minister of Gaomiao and went to serve the Emperor Gao.

The vacant position was taken down by Guo Rang, who had always performed well in front of the emperor.

This Huangmen’s assistant minister is the dream of most eunuchs and even many middle-aged officials in the palace!

After being appointed as the Minister of the Zhonghuang Sect, he had the possibility of inheriting a clan, nephew, or something else.

This is the greatest pursuit for the eunuch who is the last queen!

After a while, Guo Rang came to Zhang Yue.

"Shizhong, Your Majesty has an edict to order you to come and meet..." Guo Rang looked at Zhang Yue and sighed. This Shizhong official who had only been in the palace for two months and had spent more than half a month with the emperor was simply Jian Zaizui!

This time he returned to the palace, the emperor summoned him immediately.

The holy ones are so kind, it is really terrifying!

"I am obeying the edict..." Zhang Yue quickly answered the edict, then stood up and said to Guo Rang, "I'm sorry, Mr. Guo..."

He smiled and stuffed a pair of Lintoe gold, saying, "I heard that Guo Gong was promoted, and I didn't have time to congratulate you. I'm just a little gift, so don't refuse..."

Guo Rang held the pair of Lin Toe Gold and was amused, and smiled and said, "Oh, how dare you be a generous gift for the servant?"

But his hand quickly put the pair of Lintoe Gold into his sleeves, and it was no wonder on both sides.

"Please allow the officials to change their court uniforms and then follow Mr. Guo to meet the saint..."

"No hurry..." Guo Rang said with a smile.

……………………………………………………

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Yue was taken by Guo Rang to the Qingliang Hall of Jianzhang Palace.

Along the way, Zhang Yue took the opportunity to inquire about the changes in the palace after he went to Xinfeng.

Only then did I realize that there are only two attendants in the Han Empire.

One is him, the other is Shangguan Jie.

As for the Ma brothers, even the palace masters were deprived.

This made Zhang Yue very happy.

Brother Ma Tong is a key figure in the witchcraft disaster. Now they have no palace records, so it is naturally unlikely that they will cause trouble.

Of course, Zhang Yue also knew that the Ma brothers and Jiang Chong were just other people's guns.

The real messenger behind the scenes has always been hidden in the court, even next to him.

You can't let your guard down just because the Ma brothers fell out of favor and Jiang Chong died.

After waiting at the gate of Qingliang Hall for about two quarters of an hour, Zhang Yue saw a young general in armor coming out of Qingliang Hall with a sword in his arms.

Obviously, he had just reported to the emperor.

only……

Zhang Yue looked at the other person's appearance and age. He was only twenty-three or four years old after he was dying, and his beard on his lips was still very shallow.

But the armor on his body and the sword hanging around his waist showed that his status was not low!

who is he?

Zhang Yue blinked, he had never seen each other before.

The other party obviously saw Zhang Yue wearing the Shizhong uniform and was very curious.

He walked to Zhang Yue with his sword in hand, bowed and asked, "Do you dare to ask if the Shizhong is the commander of Zhang Gonghuiyi, the commander of Xinfeng?"

Zhang Yue quickly replied and said, "I dare not, I am Zhang Zizhong, I don't know who you are?"

Upon hearing this, the other party bowed and said, "I will be the commander of the Qiang Protector Fan Mingyou, worship the attendant!"

When Zhang Yue heard this, his eyes hopped, and he quickly helped the other party up and said, "General Fan is so serious!"

"Has the general just returned to Beijing from Tianshui to report his work?" Zhang Yue asked, holding the other party's hand.

"Well... it was Xia Wuyue who received the imperial edict and returned to Beijing to report his duties..." The young man named Fan Mingyou said with a smile.

"Are the Qiang people in Tianshui County still peaceful?" Zhang Yue asked softly.

"It's pretty peaceful..." Hearing this question, Fan Mingyou unconsciously held his sword gently, as if the blood on the scabbard had not dried yet.

Just this spring, the Qiang rebelled.

Then, he, the Qiang-protecting lieutenant, followed his father-in-law's usual education, "The barbarians, Qiang and Di, and if you can't teach, you will kill them."

So, I accidentally killed it a little too much.

He cut off more than three thousand heads and built them into Jingguan.

Then he was impeached...

This time I returned to Beijing, it was not because I was impeached and forced to come back to confront me.

In fact, in the Han court, the civil servants who could impeach him with the reason of "excessive killing" did not exist.

Because his father-in-law named Huo Guang, he was appointed as the commander of Fengche, and he was the absolute minister of his son today.

So this time he returned to Beijing, he just came back to visit relatives and had his father-in-law's wedding banquet under the banner of "confrontation".

However, Zhang Yue looked at the young man and felt full of surprise.

Between Zhaoxuan, there was another booming period for famous generals in the Han family.

The young man in front of me, even at that time, was a famous general in the world!

The future general of Liao, General of the Great Han Zhonglang, made no less contribution than Chang Hui of the same period.

However, compared to Chang Hui's gentleness and elegant temperament, this Han general was like a demon crawling out of hell, and wherever he passed, he burst into an endless sea of ​​blood.

Therefore, he was not favored by the literati. He was also involved in the rebellion of Huo and was killed. No one was willing to praise or promote his achievements.

But Zhang Yue knew how high the future achievements of this young man would be?

During the entire period of Huo Guang's rule in history, he was Huo Guang's sword and sharp sword.

Wherever there is something wrong, there is his shadow.

The Qiang people rebel? Fan Mingyou, kill them all!

Did the Di people rebel? Or did Fan Mingyou go to war and kill them all!

The Huns were causing trouble? Fan Mingyou went to the war and was defeated!

What is even more jaw-dropping is that after driving away the Huns, the general Du Liao knocked Wu Heng to death.
Chapter completed!
