With the recent situation in the Roman Empire, there is a high probability that they will agree to Chen Xi's proposal. After all, Odin is the closest to Rome. He is really going to have a lot of fun. The first one to be unlucky must be Rome. After all, the three major empires cannot guarantee that Odin will be as good as he is now.
His trump card is, after all, a God King. If he thinks of something troublesome, it will be bad for everyone.
"Okay, I'll send someone here to communicate with Rome." Guo Jia nodded, "It shouldn't be a big problem. Rome has been quite reasonable recently."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. That's not quite reasonable. It's just because he knows that the matter is too big to be unreasonable. But without the great fun brought by Locust Sky, Rome is still encircling and blocking Odin.
Reasoning? Joke, when will the empire be reasonable?
"Then it should be fine. Kong Ming, please pay close attention to Cao Sikong. If you have any news, remember to tell me." Chen Xi looked around and after confirming that nothing serious happened, he gave Zhuge Liang a few words, "Die."
It was indeed a big deal to marry Cao Hong, but it was nothing more than that. For someone at Chen Xi's level, it was at best a sigh of relief.
"I will continue to pay attention to it and will notify you if there is any news." Zhuge Liang nodded to Chen Xi and said, "If Rome takes action, do we have to prepare in advance? Speaking of which, I am very concerned about Rome.
There is not much trust in these matters, and the other party’s behavior is somewhat confusing on certain matters.”
"It's okay. If something happens, Roma is still there to take care of it. It's not a big problem. Roma is the one who is unlucky first, and then we are the ones who are unlucky." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "Well, what are you cooking in the dining room tonight?
"
"If it tastes good, you can go to work for a while. If it doesn't taste good, you can get off work now, right?" Li You directly said the second half of what Chen Xi was thinking.
"Absolutely." Chen Xi did not deny it, he really thought so.
"It's a cannonball with pancakes tonight." Guo Jia said casually. The kitchen sent someone to inform him today, so he decided to work overtime until dinner today.
"So you guys haven't gotten off work yet, but you're actually waiting for dinner?" Chen Xi looked at this group of guys who should have disappeared by this point, all working in the Political Yuan, with some contempt, okay,
Zhuge Liang was not waiting for dinner, he might be waiting for midnight snack.
"We are having dinner while we are working." Fazheng said casually, "It is rare that the eldest princess orders the Emperor Bazhen to be served in the dining room, so it is not okay to just run away."
Although Chen Xi often teased the emperor's eight delicacies, most of the time, the palace kitchen would not make such things for the ministers on duty. After all, this food is not only about taste, but also about quality. This kind of food must always be prepared.
If you feed it to the ministers who are on duty, you will be just like Wu Anjun, who will be disillusioned with things like Tailuo. So after realizing this, Liu Tong asked the kitchen to serve the Eight Treasures of the Emperor to the ministers on duty no more than ten times a year.
Second-rate.
So every time the dining room receives news that something like Emperor Bazhen will be served for lunch or dinner, it will notify all the ministers on duty in advance, and then more than 95% of the ministers will work hard until dinner time
, even if the work is finished today, I still have to have this meal before leaving.
"It feels like a big pancake rolled into a barbecue." Chen Xi thought about it and said with a bit of ridicule.
"Then you're not leaving yet?" Guo Jia asked teasingly.
"Of course you should eat before leaving. Roast beef?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"Probably so." Fazheng said cheerfully. He didn't run away. He had tidied it up. Even though he ate it secretly and no one cared about it, this thing is the Eight Treasures of the Emperor only here!
While a group of people in the Political Yuan were chatting and having a big meal in the evening, Liu Bei was taking Liu Chan to visit the newly-recruited elite veterans near Chang'an.
In order to ensure the strength of the Chang'an Imperial Guards and prevent the border troops from being more capable than the Imperial Guards, Liu Bei would rotate them every two years or so. These elite veterans who were rotated in from the local areas, during their time as the Imperial Guards, were in Chang'an.
The side will arrange it in several residential areas specially built for the Forbidden Army.
Every time after a new guard is replaced, Liu Bei will come over to take a look. Although he knows most of the guards who can come to Chang'an, after all, veterans who can reach this level are elites with very complete life experiences. Many of them have been in the two countries.
Triple Smelting, even earlier, had already met Liu Bei when he got to know other veterans, and when he was able to come to Weiyang Palace to make a living...
Theoretically, Liu Bei should be able to recognize every one of them, but occasionally there do appear to be people whom Liu Bei doesn't know at all. This kind of thing does happen.
For example, now, Liu Bei met a veteran he didn't know. Fortunately, this veteran knew the veteran next door, and the veteran next door knew Liu Bei. Moreover, the veteran next door and this veteran were from the same hometown, so he was definitely his brother.
"By the way, you are from Hebei." Liu Bei looked at Mei Wan across from him with a strange look on his face. He thought it was incredible that there were elite veterans in Hebei that Liu Bei didn't know. This was incredible.
"My ancestral home is not the same. I moved there later. When I was in Yanzhou, I joined the command of the Taiwei." Mei Wan also felt helpless, "I followed Brother Li to kill the Euphorbias, and Uncle Guang to kill the Huns. I was stationed behind.
In Jizhou, we also divided the houses."
Liu Bei began to recall, and then he indeed recalled that there was such a person under Li Huan, but he had never seen it. When he recalled Jiang Guang, he also recalled that there was such a name, but he had never seen it. When Jizhou was captured and the elite soldiers suppressed Jizhou,
He seemed to have seen this name when he was assigned a room, but he didn't see anyone. Thinking about it again during the Jizhou case, he seemed to have heard this name mentioned by someone else, but he still didn't see anyone.
"What's going on with you?" Liu Bei looked strange, asking, "I've seen you in the credit book so many times, but I haven't seen you in person?"
"When we killed the Euphorbia soldiers in Guandu, I was injured and were carried away. When we killed the Northern Huns Guards in Northern Xinjiang, I was injured again and carried away. When we divided the houses in Jizhou, I was recovering from my injuries. You can call on the veterans from behind to attack.
I was in the Ganges River during the Ganges River." Mei Wan said helplessly. He was also helpless. Every time he had the opportunity to meet Liu Bei, he was either hacked or hacked.
"However, I still saw this." Liu Bei said with a smile. This kind of unlucky situation does happen occasionally, but now that Mei Wan has all her beard and tail, she has been injured so many times, and she is fine. It is also a kind of
It's up to you.
"Brother Mei, come out and pick up the express." Just when Mei Wan was about to say something joking, he heard someone greeting him outside. Mei Wan quickly apologized to Liu Bei, and then walked out quickly to see what kind of express it was.
Then Liu Bei saw Mei Wan coming in with four children, and couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't it a courier?
"Quickly, call Xuande Gong." Mei Wan held down the four children and saluted Liu Bei. Liu Bei looked at the four children and touched them and gave each child a red envelope. Then Mei Wan declined while letting the children
Received the red envelope.
"It's strange, there are only children. Didn't your wife come with you?" Liu Bei asked strangely after the children left. Mei Wan had just been transferred from Hebei, and his wife and children hadn't come yet. Now that the children have arrived, Mei Wan's
My wife hasn't shown up yet, what's going on?
Normally, since the children are here, the wife should be here too. The previous file mentioned the situation of Mrs. Mei Wan. After all, it is best for the guards to marry and have children.
"My wife is a third-class assistant. She went to her parents' house first and stayed there for a few days. I had someone inform her that I had made arrangements for her and her children to live here. She said there was something going on at her parents' house.
I have to stay for a few more days, and then my three daughters and one son will be sent by express delivery." Mei Wan said with some embarrassment, "But Sanfu's express delivery is really fast. Her letter arrived with the child, and
The children barely took a few bites of the food they brought.”
"Wait a minute? Your wife will send your children here by courier?" Liu Bei was silent for a while, confused as to what this operation was.
"Yes, the logistics industry in Jizhou has developed in the past two years. The place where I work is a bit far from my hometown. My wife will send my children to my place of work every half month. After eating and drinking for a while, I will send the children to my place of work.
And sent it back from the logistics center." Mei Wan said very casually, not thinking there was any problem at all, or could there be any problem with it?
"Is it true that nothing will happen?" Liu Bei asked with some doubts.
"What can happen?" Mei Wan was stunned and didn't understand what the problem was. "Just prepare more food for the children when we leave. Anyway, they are being pulled by a car, and there are people watching all the way.
It’s an official road again, where you need to confirm where you go every day, and if you have children, someone will specially confirm it at the local station, which is much faster than walking by yourself.”
Liu Bei said that he really never thought that he could do this, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was really no problem. As for child trafficking, the logistics industry of the Han Dynasty was officially opened, and the site was also made by professionals with military background.
Mei Wan was on duty at Changshan Logistics Center before.
"I used to have people bring my children all the way here, but then I found that it only cost a little money to issue a transportation certificate and hang the children around their necks, and they were sent all the way. It was also easy. Many people in Jizhou had to go out.
I can't take care of the child, so I just send the child to a relative's house." Mei Wan didn't think there was any problem at all and looked proud.
This operation was actually done by veterans like Mei Wan who moved back to the local area to join the Jianyong Dahan Logistics Group. Jizhou is one of the first states to promote the logistics industry. The logistics industry is relatively developed compared to other places. However, due to the special characteristics of the logistics industry
Due to gender issues, many veterans cannot be accommodated in their own villages and towns.
If other veterans are arranged far away, there is really nothing you can do. You can only meet a few times a year, but this is the only way. But the brothers in the logistics industry are different. They can ask the local brothers to
My child took me to the station, and then took a ride to the station where my father was.
Because they have stayed in large sites for a long time, they will naturally see some things that are sent to their hometowns, and they have also seen things that are sent from their hometowns to their own sites. The existence of such things makes Mei Wan and others
I realized that I could ask the local man to carry his child to the station when picking up the local goods, and then send it with the goods. When he passed by the station, he could carry the child himself and it was done!
Especially later, after the logistics industry established by Jian Yong in Jizhou prospered, Mei Wan's method became more convenient. There were goods from his hometown to his point every day. In other words, he could send goods to his place every day.
Send it to your own children.
Originally, this was just a benefit for a person in the logistics industry, until one day, a local guy had something to do and asked someone to work for him. The person who came to lead the class was a little too strict, and then he showed up and posted a shipping label for his child.
Click on the note, and then send the child over to send the operation.
After that, this situation became popular in Jizhou, because logistics vehicles can go to many more locations than buses. Buses often have limited locations and have to transfer everywhere. Logistics vehicles are much simpler. Just stick to the location. Logistics vehicles
It can be delivered all the way. Although you still need to change trains in the middle, there is no need to change places. More importantly, logistics vehicles are even cheaper than buses.
So much so that people in Jizhou have become accustomed to posting notes to themselves and traveling long distances in logistics trucks. This is especially true for veterans moving, posting destination notes for their entire family, and sending them away together.
On the contrary, it was in Chang'an that local couriers encountered this situation for the first time.
However, the Changan courier who encountered this situation for the first time didn’t think there was a problem.
"It seems that there is indeed no problem." After listening to Mei Wan's explanation, Liu Bei was silent for a while, lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that there was indeed no problem. Although it was quite strange, it seemed that he could not find anything wrong.
place.
Liu Bei did not consider safety issues and the problem of children falling from the car. Not to mention these days, even in rural areas at the end of the 20th century, it was not a problem.
As for the issue of kidnappers, kidnappers really can't beat these veterans. Even some disabled veterans don't dare to mess with such anti-human things like kidnappers, because once the kidnappers these days are discovered, they will really
Those who are dead will be directly beaten to death. Not only will they not be guilty, they will also be rewarded. However, the kidnappers captured alive will be beaten directly after official verification, and their bodies are not allowed to be collected.
Human traffickers in the Han Dynasty were subject to this criminal law as long as they were caught, and they were always dealt with severely, because the human traffickers in the Han Dynasty involved a big boss, the Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou's biological brother was abducted by human traffickers when the Empress Dowager Dou was a child. Later, Dou Dou
When the Queen Mother became Queen, she was able to find her biological brother back.
When I asked about my brother's experience, he was mining in black mines and hundreds of people died, leaving only his brother. How can he bear this? The trafficker must kill the whole family!
From then on, as long as it was confirmed that it was a human trafficker, it was a direct process of beating and abandoning the body, beating, cutting the flesh from the bones, breaking the limbs, and then cutting the throat. Queen Mother Dou's intention was very obvious, to steal children and separate the parents and children, right? OK, arrest
You will be physically separated from your flesh and blood after living here, and then die!
This law is very cruel, but it really hasn't been changed in the Han Dynasty. In the Yuanfeng Dynasty, after the Man Chong review, it was still the same when the traffickers were caught according to the old rules. So these days, you can buy and sell people, and you can have a child after discussing with other families.
But if you steal a child, die!
In short, some aspects of the laws of the Han Dynasty are indeed strange. If you kill someone, you will usually be punished by the death penalty. If there is a reason, you may not need to die. But if you steal a child, you will definitely want a quick death if you are caught.
Chen Xi thought it was a bit strange, but Chen Xi thought it was understandable and did not change it. As a result, the number of kidnappers has basically dropped to nothing these days.
After all, other Han people won’t chase them too closely, as long as they can get through. If you hide, it’s not a big moral problem, and the Han people will just turn a blind eye. If you abduct a child, you will really be chased.
chopped.
"Lieutenant, is Taiwei here?" Mei Wan asked someone to cook some braised pork from outside. He also brought some of the people around him who were familiar with him, as well as some outstanding elders that Liu Bei had met, and brought them over to cook them at home.
We had a banquet table, ready to have a meal with Liu Bei and his old buddies, and show their faces, but before the banquet started, someone was shouting outside.
"Here, the captain is over here." Mei Wan greeted outside.
As soon as these words came out, Huang Tao appeared in the courtyard on the spot and greeted Liu Bei with excitement, "Lieutenant, big news, Cao Zixiu has succeeded to the throne of Kandahar!"
"Ah?" Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the excited Huang Tao, Liu Bei realized that something big had happened. Although the intelligence system in Chang'an had not received such news, Huang Tao's news was trustworthy.
After all, even if Chang'an's intelligence system was equipped with Xinying, it might not be as fast as Huang Tao's when he was risking his life, and Huang Tao would often bring Liu Bei some big news in Central Asia.
"Lao Cao fell at noon this afternoon, and the crown prince Cao Zixiu came to power. I saw with my own eyes that Cao Zixiu had someone take Lao Cao and fly north. I hurriedly ran back across the Himalayas in a straight line. It was so shocking.
Lao Cao has really fallen, and I even saw Cao Zixiu wearing a crown." Huang Tao said very excitedly, "Lao Cao's era is really over, can I prepare weapons?"
Liu Bei was directly silenced by Huang Taoqian. Although the news was very outrageous, Liu Bei believed that Huang Tao's news was definitely trustworthy.
"I remember you are from Huaibei." Liu Bei was silent for a while.
"Yes, my ancestral home is Guangling, Xuzhou. Generally speaking, I am from Huaishui. My family was not massacred by Cao Cao, but if my brother in the north of Xuzhou asks me to take revenge, I will definitely go." Huang Tao said solemnly, "He is When the big man was Sikong, I didn't have to go, but now that he's not, I can always do it."
"Cao Zixiu succeeded to the throne?" Liu Bei sighed and changed the topic.
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that Cao Zixiu came out with Mianqi to calm people's hearts, and then walked through the Himalayas and Zangzhou to Chang'an." Huang Tao nodded and said, "Old Cao was helped to fly to the north, but I I’m not sure if that’s Lao Cao’s true form.”
The foreign guests have been received, the activities have been completed, and I can update normally again. In other words, my updates will become unstable again.
