"This is the topographic map of the Hexi Corridor. The detailed sand table has been made. The same thing has been backed up by Cheng Bushi and Zhou Yafu! I have been operating there for more than ten years. Now, the Qiang people there have all become pigs. They are my first gift to you!"
Ten years passed by in a flash. Although Liu Deng was only 30 years old, his hair was almost half gray.
"Cousin!"
Liu Che's eyes began to turn red.
"Okay, don't look like this. You will be my great man's emperor for eternity. Naturally, you must have outstanding political achievements!"
"The Hexi Corridor, the Western Region, and the large areas of land here, with Cheng Bushi and Zhou Yafu here, an army of 200,000 can completely pacify them!"
Liu Deng's tone was extremely firm when he spoke.
"These princes and kings in the country were originally a scourge, but they were all left behind by Emperor Taizu Gao because of the situation! My cousin also dealt with them for you. After you finish conquering the Hexi and Western Region corridors, let them Let them go to the West and continue to expand their territory!”
After several years of preparation for this matter, the princes and kings were impatient.
"Cousin!"
Liu Che no longer knew what to say. Originally, as he got older, when he dreamed back at midnight, he once thought in his heart, what if this cousin loses his tail?
But now, he really feels a little ashamed.
Not only did Liu Deng let him go, but he also prepared everything for him.
"Without their constraints, domestic affairs can be dealt with by the government in the future! Now, if you look at the whole map of Zhou Tianhuan Yu, turn this place into the territory of my big man. This is your business. !”
Liu Deng smiled, and then pointed to the location marked on the map again.
"Che'er will never forget his cousin's teachings for the rest of his life! If he can't do it, Liu Che will not be able to enter the imperial mausoleum after his death!"
Liu Che wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said seriously.
"By the way, I almost forgot about this place!"
Liu Deng smiled, then picked up a charcoal pen and completely erased the Japanese mark on the map.
"Cousin, why do you care so much about this small island country?"
Liu Che finally asked his biggest doubt.
"I have been told by an expert that this place is the most filthy place in the world, and the people who live here cannot be educated!"
Liu Deng smiled and made nonsense.
"Expert?"
Liu Che seemed to have discovered some secret all of a sudden.
"By the way, you have to promise me one thing. One day, when my big man's gunpowder weapons can destroy the world, completely wipe out this small island for me!"
When Liu Deng said this, the murderous look in his eyes really frightened Liu Che secretly.
"No! If I don't accomplish this before I die, I will definitely leave a legacy as a reminder to future generations!"
Liu Che said very wisely.
"Children can be taught!"
Only then did Liu Deng pat Liu Che with satisfaction, indicating that he could put the things away.
After not returning to his homeland for ten years, the people in Jinyang City burst into joy when he returned again.
Officials from all over Jinyang arrived thirty miles away to greet him.
Of course, this was on the surface under the guise of welcoming the emperor.
"My lord, Feng Jing, see your Majesty! See your Majesty!"
Seeing Liu Deng again, Feng Jing was extremely excited.
"Okay, this is the official road, let's not block it here, let's get out of the way!"
Liu Deng's eye circles were also a little red. This is his own territory!
This is my home.
"promise!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Feng Jing also knew that Liu Deng didn't like such a scene, so he signaled his men to start evacuating the people.
"Your Majesty, this is our home-brewed osmanthus wine. Have a drink of it!"
At this moment, a white-haired old man, holding a wine jar, squeezed out of the crowd and knelt directly in front of Liu Deng.
No matter what those people said, he just refused to get up.
"Old man, get up quickly. What are you doing? How can I accept such a great gift from you at my age?"
Seeing him crying bitterly, Liu Deng could only step forward and help him up in person.
"Your Majesty, the old man's surname is Li, and he comes from Ye County, Donglai County! If you hadn't rescued the men of my clan back then, I'm afraid all the Li clan would have starved to death!"
As the old man spoke, he raised the wine jar in his hand high.
"You are Li Xiuer's..."
"That's the old man's daughter-in-law!"
The old man said quickly.
"That's it! You get up first, I'll drink this bowl of wine!"
Liu Deng's face finally showed a rare smile.
In this day and age, people's hearts are like gold. If you receive a little kindness from others, you should repay it with springs!
The simplicity of the Han people made it difficult for Liu Deng to refuse.
"Old man, how are you doing at home?"
Liu Che also had a profound memory of the cause of the war to destroy the country.
This may be one of the few merchants in the history of the Han Dynasty that can be recorded in history books.
"Okay, okay, okay! Thanks to your majesty and the king, the little old man's family is now well-off. However, after receiving such a great favor from the king, the little old man always felt guilty, so he moved the whole family to Shanxi. I settled down in Yangcheng City, and today I finally got the king back!"
When the old man said this, he couldn't help crying.
"Okay, old man, I've drank this wine, you can rest assured this time!"
Liu Deng smiled, helped the old man aside, and handed it to his family. With the gratitude of those people, he took Liu Che away again.
The crowd slowly dispersed, but Liu Deng did not take Liu Che into the city, but headed towards a valley outside the city...
"Cousin, where are we going?"
Liu Che asked curiously.
"Take you to see the last gift I prepared for you!"
Liu Deng smiled and then said.
"One last gift?"
Liu Che looked at Liu Deng with some confusion.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
While the two were talking, Li Shaojun, who was dressed in linen and had white hair, cried and knelt down in front of Liu Deng.
"I can't bear this gift from you! Get up quickly and look, who is this?"
Liu Deng hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Shaojun up, and then pointed to Liu Che beside him.
"This this......"
Li Shaojun has lived in this valley for more than ten years, so how could he know Liu Che.
"This is the late emperor's heir, my majesty the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che!"
Of course Liu Deng saw his doubts and quickly introduced him.
"My lord, Li Shaojun, see your majesty!"
Li Shaojun hurriedly saluted Liu Che excitedly.
"Okay, this is your place, take us around!"
Liu Deng said with a smile.
"promise!"
Li Shaojun quickly stood up and led them forward.
However, the followers around Liu Che, and even Chuntuo, were directly stopped by the guards.
"Be bold!"
Chuntuo was immediately angry. The emperor's entourage was part of the emperor's majesty. This was the first time that someone stopped them on the territory of the Han Dynasty.
"You all just wait here! This rule is set by this king! It won't change now. If it will change in the future, you can ask His Majesty yourself later!"
Before those soldiers spoke, Liu Deng had already spoken lightly.
"Just wait here!"
Liu Che also quickly glared at Chuntuo.
"promise!"
Chuntuo had no choice but to watch the two of them slowly enter the valley.
"This person's name is Li Shaojun. The gunpowder weapons your Majesty heard about were developed here with his people! For the sake of confidentiality, he has been trapped in this valley for fifteen years!"
Seeing the displeasure in the little emperor's eyes, Liu Deng said softly.
"Ten, fifteen years..."
