It's July, and the scenery is infinitely better.

But autumn is also beginning to come gradually, and the wind is starting to cool a little.

However, Wu Zhou is now hotter than midsummer!

Countless people crowded the sides of the road.

The officials, gentry and nobles of the entire Yanmen County were already present.

Everyone craned their necks and looked out into the field.

As a good and unordered who had just turned positive, Han Wen took his retainers and relatives and friends to occupy the best position - Wu Zhousai's top of the plug, climbing high and looking into the distance, looking into the distance with anticipation.

Beside him, several friends were equally excited.

But there was one man who was more excited than everyone else.

She stood behind Han Wen, wearing a thin veil, her hair curled up, hanging down to her ears, and her big bright eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

Although the veil covers most of her face, leaving only her eyes and forehead, even so, it can still be seen that she is a typical beauty.

Especially the small face, which can almost be covered with one hand.

I can't imagine it.,It's like a person who came out of a picture album.。

Just by looking at the appearance, it is difficult for people to be malicious and want to protect.

Finally, at the end of the distant line of sight, there were puffs of smoke and dust.

Then there was the overwhelming smoke and dust, like a dust storm, rolling up the sky!

As a result, the entire people immediately broke out into cheers that resounded through the heavens and the earth:

"Long live the Great Han, 10,000 years of the Son of Heaven!"

"Angel Marquis Wandai, Han Wannian!"

In the cheers, the faces of countless nobles were a little gloomy.

They recalled the disaster a few months ago!

Zhang Chiyou, it's really Zhang Chiyou!

In that disaster, the officials of Yanmen County were not able to make a living, and they had no peace.

More than seventy percent of the officials were imprisoned, and more than half of the nobles and wealthy businessmen were raided and destroyed!

Piles and piles of bonds, burned to the ground.

The mud-legged men cheered, while the nobles, officials, merchants, and landlords shivered and curled up in a ball.

I can only hope that the big demon king will leave soon.

It's not just Yanmen.

At that time, the disaster spread to the entire state officialdom!

Most of the Yamen below the Assassin History was arrested and taken to Chang'an, and was immediately questioned for various crimes.

The three liehou families, which had flourished in Bingzhou for decades, lost power.

One was even given death!

Even the prime minister's son was not spared, and after returning to Beijing, he 'violently died' at home.

When the Demon King left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could breathe, and they could even strengthen themselves by eating the profits vacated by the unlucky ghosts.

Bigger disasters followed.

First of all, the Son of Heaven personally named Bingji, the left supervisor of the court lieutenant, to take over the post of the assassin of Bingzhou, and strengthened the responsibility of the assassin of Bingji on the grounds of 'merging the state and many thieves', and authorized the new assassin Bingji to 'picket illegal and break prison on the spot'.

Bingji was also allowed to 'select a hundred good officials to accompany him' from the palace of the court governor.

Then, that is, a large number of noble second generations, and even ancestral second generations, parachuted into the entire Yanmen.

If you go out casually and meet a Qiang or a captain, there may be a 2,000-stone courtier standing behind you.

The local county commanders and county lieutenants of Yanmen, their fathers and ancestors are either liehous, guannei marquis, or after the two thousand stone Jiuqing ministers!

The retainers of other families are higher than many Yanmen nobles.

As a result, the noble landlords of Yanmen were hung up and hammered by these people.

If that's all there is to it, maybe these people won't be sad.

After all, the second generation came to gild, and it may run away in a year or two.

When the time comes, you can still be the king and hegemon.

It's even a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to cling to and stutter.

As long as you hug a golden thigh, are you afraid that you won't be rich and prosperous?

However, the development of events is shocking!

Within a month, Shanggu, Dai and the two county governors and county lieutenants adjacent to Yanmen were all replaced.

Even the county's lords, Bo, Sima, and Duyou, who had always been the head snakes of the land in the past, were all airborne from Chang'an!

Then, wealthy businessmen from Chang'an and Luoyang, waving five baht coins, entered the market strongly.

The pattern of Yanmen, Dai, and Shanggu was immediately rewritten.

People instantly discovered that the second generation was not here to gild.

They have come to draw the ground as a prison and to grab territory.

They even plan to put a foundation on this side!

This makes these local nobles strong, like sitting on pins and needles!

In the face of the officials, wealthy businessmen and the powerful forces behind them parachuted from Chang'an, the Yanmen nobles who were already dying were powerful and powerless to resist.

Then, everyone saw the explosion and prosperity of the wool textile industry!

The entire Yanmen, even the Dai and Shang regions.

The loom walked into thousands of households overnight.

Every day, large quantities of wool are transported from the plugged and plugged outside, and the place arrives.

Then, by the government, merchants, etc., they were handed over to the workshops they organized or sold to family weavers.

The woven wool was immediately transported to Tianxia Prefecture and County.

The profit exceeds that of silk silk and mulberry hemp, and it has become the first hit in the Han Dynasty!

And then led to the prosperity of the entire border economy.

In the past, the last generation was bitterly cold, and the Yanmen was also poor.

The output of land could not feed the people at all, so a large number of peasants went bankrupt and were forced to become tenants or even domestic slaves of the rich and powerful.

But now, with the eradication of the old aristocratic and powerful class, a large number of tenants and domestic slaves have been freed and regained.

The new officials, though they distributed to these people a lot of confiscated land and hidden lands that had been cleared.

However, they lack the means of production and resources, and they are simply unable to operate.

The end result is an almost predictable vicious circle!

However, the prosperity of wool textiles changed all that.

The arrival of large quantities of wool fed countless people.

Men can participate in the production, transportation, transportation and other processes, while the elderly, women and children can participate in washing, combing and weaving.

The people of Yanmen discovered overnight that they seemed to be able to support their families on their own.

Moreover, the merchants and the grain brought from other counties immediately stabilized the originally somewhat chaotic social order.

In the context of money and power, the local nobles of Yanmen were strong and strong, and they were crushed into the mentally handicapped.

In the past few months, with the continuous development, prosperity and prosperity of the wool textile industry.

More and more powerful people are entering the market.

Yanmen and Dai County, Shanggu County are all chicken feathers.

The strong dragon crossed the river and crushed the local tyrants, of course, there were also local powerful figures, relying on their own background and local influence, they just stopped the strong dragon head-on, forcing the other party to change their strategy and turn to a matter of wooing.

However, this has basically nothing to do with Yanmen.

The powerful nobles of Yanmen County were almost all beaten up.

It has almost lost its ability to control and influence the locality.

can only be the powerful and wealthy businessmen who are attached to Chang'an, give them a hand, be their attendants, take the opportunity to mix some soup and water, and chat to get by.

Now, the great demon king has returned as a king.

Just seeing the smoke and dust in the distance, the local bureaucrats and aristocrats involved in Yanmen couldn't help but tremble.

Even from the depths of the bone marrow, fear and fear are born!

I thought of the road of Shura paved with white bones.

But in the eyes of everyone else, the world is a different story.

At the beginning, the scholars who followed Zhang Yue here have basically put on official uniforms and stepped into the official career.

Even if they are eliminated Lang, they have found their own jobs in Ueya, Daigun, and Makunan.

Therefore, for them, Zhang Yue is their master!

In the feudal era, there is no doubt about the status of the master!

As long as there are no accidents, no matter where they go in the future, they must follow the banner of the Lord and take the initiative to maintain and counter the enemy's smear.

Because, as soon as the Lord falls, those who have been labeled will inevitably be implicated.

Therefore, these people are like the star chasers who have seen idols in later generations, and they are the ones who are the craziest and the most fierce at the moment!

There is no way, and now the Lord has returned triumphantly, and the momentum is rising.

As long as you are not stupid, you will desperately find a way to tell everyone else - I am Zhang Chiyou's disciple! Remember me!

In addition, the most face-saving people are the wealthy businessmen from Chang'an, Luoyang and even Linzi.

At their own expense, they mobilized their retainers, men, and porters to come here, forming a welcoming procession, beating gongs and drums, and setting off the atmosphere extremely lively.

This is both a thank you and a gesture of goodwill.

Now, fools know that the Monan area and even the entire Pan-Plug area are Zhang Chiyou's own land.

If you want to make a fortune in the wool textile industry, you must befriend the big man who is in the sky, at least not make people feel that they have an opinion about it.

Once a similar impression is made.

At worst, they will be squeezed out of the wool textile industry, which currently has the largest and highest profit margins, and at worst, they may be expelled from the Han family and denounced as 'traitors'.

Zhang Chiyou's crazy fans are now all over the government and the opposition, almost all classes!

The businessman fell in love with his miracle of expanding his wealth and bringing countless profits.

The people at the bottom fell in love with his uprightness, the image of being the master of the people, and the great cause of pouting thousands of miles and sealing the wolf in Xu Mountain!

Scholars and officials all liked the ideas he preached, the practical benefits he bringed, and the ability to take his subordinates to fly anytime and anywhere!

So, when the Han army raised the flag and appeared in sight, the entire Wu Zhousai immediately boiled.

And the vanguard of the Han army, after hearing this cheer, everyone was also excited, holding their heads high, stepping on the drums, and majestically walking towards the galloping road that gradually appeared.

When they passed through the gallop road, they entered the Great Wall from the road under the Wuzhou plug.

Countless flowers immediately fell.

Countless people rushed to hand boiled eggs, boiled minced meat and other kinds of food to them, and even stuffed their hands without saying anything.

At the top of Wu Zhousai, Han Wen looked at this scene and said to his relatives and friends excitedly: "The ancients said: Eat pot pulp to welcome the king, but that's it!" ”

Everyone nodded their heads: "Yes!" ”

However, the little lady standing behind Han Wen still remained calm and asked lightly: "Brother, why hasn't Zhang Shizhong appeared yet?" ”

When Han Wen heard this, he said with a smile: "Ah Yang is not in a hurry, within today, the servant will definitely enter the jam, and when the time comes, I will take you to meet and get to know each other!" ”

When the latter heard this, his eyes lit up, and his veiled little face showed a look of eagerness: "Really? ”

"Really!" Hangul laughed.

………………………………

At this time, Zhang Yue was riding on a horse, parallel to Su Wu.

For this legendary figure who is the spokesperson of integrity in the history books of later generations and in the eyes of people, Zhang Yue respects him very much, and even takes the initiative to regard himself as a descendant of the younger generation, so that Su Wu can walk in front of him.

This is not only respect, respect, but also deliberately trying to build momentum for Su Wu.

Historically, after Su Wu returned to China, although he was highly respected, he almost died because he was involved in political struggles.

Even so, it ended up being a bleak evening.

Zhang Yue was unwilling, and Su Wu repeated the same mistake.

So, he thought about letting Su Wu enter the literary world.

Compared with his political talent and ability, Su Wu is undoubtedly more suitable for the literary world.

The encounters, tortures and hardships in the Xiongnu were also enough to cultivate and edify Su Wu's literary skills, so that he had the ability to create immortal masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages.

His temperament is also suitable for life in the literary world, not in the political arena.

Coupled with his friendship with Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi, Sang Hongyang, Shangguan Ji and others, as long as he does not mix with Zhengzhi, he will be a great writer similar to Sima Xiangru in the future, and leave a glorious page belonging to him in the history books, which is completely conceivable!

Of course, it also depends on Su Wu's own wishes.

If he is determined, he will enter the political arena and realize his ideals and ambitions.

Zhang Yue had no choice but to try to help him build momentum and remove some mines for him.

At the very least, to avoid Su Wu repeating the mistakes of the past!

………………………………

Almost at the same time, under the Zhangcheng Gate of Chang'an City.

A small group of cavalry, escorted by several wagons, arrived here.

In the carriage, Tigreves, who had been jolting for almost twenty days, raised his head and looked at the towering walls and huge gates of Chang'an City, his eyes full of shock!

"This is ......," he exclaimed, "what a great city! ”

As an emissary of Pontus, he was the representative of the king of Pontus from the age of twenty, and traveled throughout Rome, the Greek city-states, and throughout Persia, where he saw countless magnificent cities and civilizations.

However......

Tens of thousands of miles away from the mother country, on the other side of the mountains and the sea, the Silk Country, which was originally thought to be non-existent, saw this city far beyond the city of Rome and Carthage!

"What a powerful empire it takes to build such a magnificent city!" Tigreeves muttered to himself.

"Mithra is on top! I'm afraid I'm going to have a great empire even stronger than Rome! He couldn't help but recite the name of the god he believed in and prayed.

He prayed that his luck would be good enough to get the king of this great exotic empire to agree to extend a hand of friendship to his king!

Even, willing to provide assistance to the cause of the Pontus Kingdom to fight the evil and brutal Romans!

So, these days, Tig Reeves has written at least 10,000 words in his mind.

The Romans, what they have done over the years, their brutality and barbarism, are all enumerated.

He believed that as long as the king of the Eastern Empire gave him a chance, he could impress him!

Because justice and fairness exist in the hearts of all people!

The actions of the Romans are undoubtedly a blatant trampling on the good things that the world respects and believes.

They went on a rampage in Greece, they burned Carthage and built cities on its ruins, they slaughtered and drove the local people in Persia, they brutally destroyed and pursued all non-Roman ships in the Aegean and Mediterranean.

Even a figure like Archimedes could not escape the butcher's knife of the Romans!

With so much evidence and guilt, Tigreeves was sure that he would get what he wanted!

Just then, there was a commotion ahead.

Then, Tigreaves heard the voices of several men talking.

With his excellent language skills, he has almost learned the language of this oriental country in the past 20 days, and although he can't speak it yet, he can basically understand it.

So he heard a conversation that he will never forget.

"Who's in the car?"

"It is said that it is the Yidi envoy who came from tens of thousands of miles to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven......"

"Oh......"

"Will Da Honglu send someone to pick it up?"

"Probably not...... Anyway, the order I got was to send it to the Great Honglu Barbarian Mansion to settle ......"

"The Barbarian Mansion...... Hahaha...... So when will they have the opportunity to meet the saints? ”

"Who knows...... Hehehe...... How could the Son of Heaven casually meet with Yidi's envoys of unknown origin? ”

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty may not even meet the courtiers from time to time, just Yidi, a beast walking on two legs, how can he meet the Son of Heaven?"

Tigreeves listened, though not all of them understood.

But he understood the words of a two-legged beast.

As a result, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and unprecedented fear appeared in the bottom of his heart.

Because his illusions were shattered.

This Eastern Empire was even more arrogant than the arrogant Roman governors he had ever seen!

At least the Romans did not expel the Ponticians from the ranks of beasts!

At the same time, Tigreeves couldn't help but have a question in his heart: How powerful has this Eastern Empire become? So much so that even the officials at the bottom can be arrogant enough to wantonly belittle and ridicule the envoys of other countries?

And, from their conversation, it was clear to Tig Reeves that they were not intentionally, or even specifically teased and mocked him.

They were just going about their daily conversations, just like he was in Pontus and talking casually with the soldiers in Pontus.

That's the real horror.

For that means that the Eastern Empire has probably defeated and conquered all of its enemies!

And to trample all of His enemies under his feet and rub them in!

Let them beg for mercy, let them submit, let them willingly serve their king!

And this is something that the Romans have not been able to do so far!

In Greece, the revolts and revolts of the Greek city-states were in full swing, in Egypt, the Egyptians are still resisting, in Persia, the descendants of Darius have revolted, and in Asia, the kingdom of Pontus and its allies are actively planning and even planning to send troops to aid the Greek city-states in their uprising!

The Romans were strong, but they were enemies on all sides.

From Gaul to Egypt, from the Mediterranean to the Aegean Sea to Egypt, Greece, Persia, Asia, the Black Sea basin.

All are resisting, all resisting!

And in the East, all this seems to be non-existent.

The information behind this made Tig Reeves shudder.
