Ma Qiang slept soundly on the train, and Sun Jian and others watched the trees and villages retreating along the way, and they felt that the road was fresh.

"Meow~ Meow~ Big White Cat, are you here? Meow?"

Sun Shangxiang slid the window and shouted softly to the outside. Just as she was about to poke her body out a little more, she felt her neck tightening, but Sun Ce picked it up.

"Shang Xiang, don't lean out again! The train is not slow. If it falls out of the car, you will have to be injured!"

Sun Shangxiang said oh, staring at the roof of the car with a gaze, imagining what the big white cat looks like now.

"Duke Xuande means that people can take this train on weekdays?"

"That's right, it's the most popular thing for people in Guangzong and Pingyuan to take trains, especially those newlywed men and women.

By the way, the newspaper also said that this is...a honeymoon trip."

"Honeymoon trip?" Huang Quan repeated the next one, feeling that the word "honeymoon" fully expresses the tenderness and affection between newlyweds, and couldn't help but smile, "In this way, this ticket should be cheap, right?"

"Well, the standard seat is thirty yuan."

This is indeed not expensive.

"Quan has many questions along the way. I wonder if Duke Xuande can solve his doubts?"

"You should know everything you want."

Chatting all the way, time passed quickly, and the train arrived in Guangzong soon.

"Baiyan, why have you become dark?"

Ma Qiang couldn't help asking as he watched Bai Yan jump off the train and turned into a black tiger.

"Puff! Brother Ma, Bai Yan must be lying too close to the chimney! It's all blackened!"

Bai Yan, who had been sleeping all the way, heard the ridicule of everyone, and hurriedly looked back at his fur, and found that his back was black.

"Aowoo!!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Linzhi, when you get home, you can help Bai Yan wash it well."

"Okay~"

After finally comforting the unhappy Bai Yan, Ma Qiang turned around and said to Sun Jian and others, "Brother Wentai, I have arranged your residence. Thank you for your hard work, so you can have a good rest as well.

Gongheng, you can wait for a few days in Guangzong first, wait for me to handle some affairs, and then go to Jixian to meet the emperor."

Of course, everyone would not object and said they promised.

——Ji County half a month later

"Congratulations to General Nan for his victory!"

"This southern expedition was so smooth, thanks to Mr. Lu being in charge of the rear."

When Ma Qiang came to Jixian, the first thing he did was to meet Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was still very satisfied with Ma Qiang's handling of Jing Yang after the expedition.

Whether it is Liu Ye, Liu Fu, the two county magistrates, or Ma Rizhen, the governor, it means that Ma Qiang did not have the intention to usurp the Han Dynasty just because of defeating Jing Yang.

Now Lu Zhi has figured it out, as long as Ma Qiang keeps the Han Dynasty, he doesn't care about other things.

“This is what Zhi should do…

General, can the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought back from Dongshengzhou by the Ocean Fleet really produce a thousand pounds per mu?”

"If cultivated properly... a thousand pounds per mu is a lack of income."

After Ma Qiang was confirmed again, Lu Zhi's hands were trembling with excitement.

If you don’t take the lead, you don’t know how expensive your food is. After becoming the prime minister, Lu Zhi was having a headache about food every day.

We need food for disaster relief, road construction, and war. If Ma Qiang had not always asked for unified sales and purchase of grain, Ma Qiang would have been operating in multiple lines, the warehouse would have been empty.

"But these crops are alien species after all, and they don't know whether they like drought and water. It will take several years to wait for large-scale promotion."

"It's not hindering, it's not hindering. I've been here for so many years, and it's not hindering if I wait for a few more years."

Lu Zhi calmed down for a while, recovered his mood, and asked again, "Can the General continue the southern expedition next year?"

As soon as Ma Qiang nodded, he suddenly looked ugly when he saw Lu Zhi's expression. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the major general of Jiaozhou is weak, and Huang Zu, the Jingnan, is even more surviving. Liu Zhang of Yizhou also sent Huang Quan to seek title. Large-scale wars should not happen again."

"General, don't blame Zhi for this. There are too many places to use money and food!"

“I understand, so I hope to resolve the Yizhou issue peacefully.

This time Huang Quan came, it was an opportunity!"

"What does the general mean?"

"I heard that Liu Zhang has a kind and gentle personality. Since he succeeded the governor of Yizhou, he has indeed not conquered cities and land everywhere like other princes.

I am not worried that he is unwilling. I am mainly worried that the people around him will not want the imperial army to enter Yizhou for the sake of power and interests.

Therefore, I think the emperor can issue an edict, and you and I will use seals to enthrone him as the governor of Yizhou, and then let him welcome the edict.

When he receives the imperial edict, he can take it down first!

Liu Zhang's son is still young and cannot be in charge of the board of directors. It will not be difficult for Yizhou to be pacified by then!"

“This strategy…”

Lu Zhi was a little hesitant.

Lu Zhi didn't think this plan would work, he was simply worried that Ma Qiang's mentality would change after Liu Zhang, the last Liu prince, was taken down.

"What will the general prepare to deal with Liu Yizhou?"

"Liu Yizhou is not guilty, how can he deal with it? Moreover, the emperor issued an edict, and you and I will use seals, so he, the governor of Yizhou, is not fake.

As long as the court completely controls Yizhou, he can continue to be the governor of Yizhou. As long as he complies with the laws of the court, he can remain unmoved within five years."

After receiving Ma Qiang's promise, Lu Zhi felt relieved.

After all, Ma Qiang is a famous honest and reliable young man, and he still has credibility.

——

Huang Quan looked at the edict in his hand and was a little unbelievable that it was true.

Is this too smooth?

"Gongheng, if we can solve the Yizhou problem without bloodshed, it will be a good thing for both Yizhou and the imperial court.

This time the angel will return to Yizhou with you. You should write a letter to Liu Yizhou first to inform Liu Yizhou of this matter, and also to save some villains from sowing out the relationship between the court and Liu Yizhou."

When Huang Quan heard Lu Zhi say this, he responded without any doubt, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Liu Yizhou is loyal to the court and will never do anything that will make his relatives hurt and his enemies happy!"

Huang Quan wrote a letter on the same day, asking the guards to return to Chengdu to report the message, while he was waiting for the angels and court rewards to return to Yizhou slowly.

——Guangzong

Sun Jian's family and Zhou Yu lived in the mansion given to them by Ma Qiang.

When they arrived at Guangzong, Sun Jian and others were a little uncomfortable at first, but soon found that Guangzong's life was really comfortable.

Guangzong has everything he needs to eat, drink, use, and play.

Not to mention anything else, the electric lights, tap water for washing and the ever-buzzing teahouse made Sun Jian feel a little happy.

Especially the teahouse, Sun Jian was most thoughtful.

When broadcasting and reading newspapers, Sun Jian is talking about playing and singing, fruit and snacks, and now he stays in the teahouse for a whole day.

"But on this day, Chief Murdoch came to see Commander Zheng. Why do you think? It turns out that although this Murdoch tribe relies on fishing and hunting to fill the stomach, they also know about farming. Now the ice and snow melt, and it is time for spring plowing..."
