All things resurrected in Chang'an in April.

The weather became warmer. After a spring rain, the willow trees beside the road sprouted fresh tender leaves, and the wheat fields beside the road also sprouted new buds, like newly weaved carpets, revealing a moist newness. The water in Kunming pond also rose. Among the swaying aquatic plants, ducks that had just been replaced with brown new feathers swam by, leaving a bunch of ripples.

The emperor stood on the Juntai with his hands behind his back, looking at the Shifang not far away, his eyes shrank. There was no one above the Shifang, but he seemed to see Jiang Gan sitting at the bow of the boat holding a fishing rod, mocking Xun Yu, with a frivolous smile on his face.

Abdicated? The emperor laughed and curled his lips.

Laughing came from the woods in the distance, and two horses ran out of the forest. The knights on the horses were all dressed in strong clothes and holding bows and arrows. In front was Lu Xiaohuan, and behind was Wang Yi. After returning from the Western Expedition, Zhao Ang and his wife came to Chang'an. Zhao Ang became the chief secretary of Lu Bu, and Wang Yi became the female official, and was inseparable from Lu Xiaohuan.

This was the emperor's deliberate arrangement. Lu Bu was somewhat alienated from the Liangzhou people because of the killing of Dong Zhuo. Making Zhao Ang and his wife closer to the father and daughter of the Lu family will help alleviate the relationship between Lu Bu and the Liangzhou people and can also more effectively control Lu Bu's lonely wolf.

Lu Xiaohuan raised the bow in his hand and was about to speak, Wang Yi behind him reminded him. Lu Xiaohuan quickly put away the bow in his hand, then waved his hand hard to say hello. "Your Majesty—"

The emperor raised his hand and waved it gently. Lu Xiaohuan turned over and dismounted, rushed up with a meteor, with a light step, like a strong doe. The emperor saw it and couldn't say what he liked, and he was a little regretful. Why couldn't Lu Xiaohuan get pregnant with such a good body? On the contrary, Fu Guiren and Dong Guiren were pregnant one after another, and he would soon have children.

"What are you shooting?"

"No, I'll shoot the target for a while." Lu Xiaohuan rushed to the emperor and said with a smile. She walked a little anxiously, panting, her chest was undulating under her strong suit, and she was full of youth and vitality. "In spring, everything is revived, and it's not appropriate to kill animals, I know. Sister Wang has been following me, she can prove it."

The emperor glanced at Wang Yi who was walking upwards and nodded with relief. With Wang Yi as his companion, Lu Xiaohuan became much more sensible. Wang Yi stopped when he walked outside the threshold. After stopping in Lu Xiaohuan's sight, he did not hear Lu Xiaohuan talking to the emperor.

"You are becoming more and more sensible."

"It's all the credit of Sister Wang." Lu Xiaohuan stuck out his tongue and blinked. "Your Majesty, can I give her two pieces of brocade?"

The emperor frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. "Please enjoy two pieces of Yue cloth. Spring is here and it is just right to use it. Make two spring shirts."

Lu Xiaohuan was a little regretful, but didn't say anything more. She knew that the emperor was tight. Although the Western Expedition was great, the rewards and pensions were not paid. The spoils seized from the Xianbei people were very limited. The cattle and sheep were eaten, and the only remaining were some war horses, which was not worth much money. The emperor was so poor that he saved the cost in the palace. Even the emperor himself did not buy new clothes, so he could only wear last year's. This year, he grew taller and stronger. Last year's clothes were a little short and tighter, and it looked very unfit. The emperor said that when it came to summer, it would be possible to save money if he used only a single clothes in summer and had less cloth.

Under Wang Yi's guidance, Lu Xiaohuan knew to understand the difficulties of the emperor and never made any requests.

The emperor talked to Lu Xiaohuan for a while, especially when asked about Lu Bu's situation. Lu Bu was the first contribution to the Western Expedition. He killed a Xianbei tribe, and Zhang Liao killed another Xiaoshen. He made the most contributions among the generals, but the most casualties were also the most. He always believed that this was because of the lack of equipment, and hoped that the emperor could reward some Nanyang armed forces to make up for his strength. However, this request made the emperor very embarrassed. Not to mention that he had no money, even if he had money, he might not be able to buy Nanyang armed forces, and he could not meet Lu Bu's requirements at all.

The emperor was very uneasy and was particularly concerned about Lu Bu's emotions, for fear that he would complain and give him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Jiang Gan is in Chang'an.

Of course, these ideas cannot be explained explicitly, and the emperor could only touch indirectly. Lu Xiaohuan said the general situation again, but it was not organized. He said whatever he thought of and often went off topic. If the emperor did not bring up the topic in time, she would not know where she was talking.

Talking to Lu Xiaohuan is a very laborious thing, and it is far less easy to talk to Wang Yi. The emperor thought about it, called Wang Yi over and asked her about her experience of traveling with Lu Xiaohuan. Wang Yi was not too slow and told her what she knew. Sure enough, he was much more organized than Lu Xiaohuan.

But the emperor still couldn't feel relaxed.

The situation in Chang'an was very serious, even beyond his imagination, and even worse than what Xun Yu and Liu Ye reported to him. Wang Yi especially mentioned the conflict between the people moving from Liangzhou and the people of Guanzhong. It is said that human deaths have occurred, which is far from as light as Xun Yu and the others said.

Seeing that Wang Yi was speaking calmly, as if he was concerned about affairs, the emperor asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Wang Yi was prepared and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the reason for the conflict is that the land is insufficient. Guanzhong has a limited population and a lot of abandoned land. However, those fertile lands were occupied by the locals in Guanzhong, and some even occupied thousands of acres, far exceeding the restrictions of the court. What's more, even the land reclaimed by the people of Liangzhou was occupied by them. How could there be no resentment? Although the people of Liangzhou were equivalent to the people of Guanzhong, the Sanfu County Magistrates and the heads of the counties were both Guanzhong and even Guandong. They were a little dismissive of Liangzhou people entering Guanzhong, and they were also partial to Guanzhong people when handling affairs. If they could not make timely adjustments, the situation would probably be even more serious."

The emperor did not comment. "You mean to arrange some Liangzhou scholars to be in charge of the order?"

"Yes." Wang Yi paused and said, "Although Liangzhou is remote, it is not as talented as Zhongyuan, you can still find the right person if you choose a few orders. Since Guandong and Guanzhong people can become officials in Liangzhou, why can't Liangzhou people go to Guanzhong to become officials?"

The emperor pondered for a long time. "Do you know that some people say that the court favors the people of Liangzhou?"

Wang Yi nodded. "As Your Majesty said, there are rumors in Guanzhong, but I think Your Majesty does not need to worry about it."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, if Your Majesty does anything, there will be people who object. If Your Majesty wants to know the public opinion, you cannot just listen to those who call the most fiercely, but also those who have no chance to speak. I think that as long as Your Majesty can adjust the relationship between the people of Guanzhong and the people of Liangzhou, at least half of them will be grateful to Your Majesty, and the remaining half may not be all opponents. In this way, there are still more supporters and fewer oppositions."

The emperor smiled. "You said this, it's reasonable."

Wang Yi continued: "Your Majesty uses martial arts in the world, and Liangzhou has sent elite soldiers. These Liangzhou people leave their hometowns and settle down in Guanzhong. I am grateful for your kindness. Your Majesty has issued an edict, and naturally responds. Your Majesty can obtain 30,000 to 50,000 elite soldiers, so why can't the enemy defeat?"

The emperor's eyebrows trembled slightly and thoughtful. He really needed elite soldiers. Liangzhou people were hard-working and good at fighting. They were indeed a good source of soldiers, at least better than Guanzhong people. Guanzhong was too close to Nanyang, and many people had experienced fleeing to Nanyang. At least they had heard that they wanted to run away whenever there was a stir and had no intention of fighting for the court. Liangzhou people were young in Nanyang, and they often heard that 20,000 elite Liangzhou soldiers were defeated by Sun Ce, beheaded and displayed in public, or even skinned and buried alive. If they fought with Sun Ce, Liangzhou people would be more reliable than Guandong people.

However, this plan would be opposed by many people, including Xun Yu. When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the Liangzhou soldiers were in chaos in Yingchuan and killed a lot. Officials from Yingchuan such as Xun Yu and Zhong Yao have never had a good impression of the Liangzhou soldiers, believing that they were cruel and rude and difficult to control. They were not really elites and should not be the main force of the imperial guards. It would be more appropriate to choose from Guanzhong, and the farthest distance could not exceed the traditional six counties.

The emperor asked someone to call Yan Wen to discuss. Yan Wen had made contributions to the Western Expedition. Now he is the Hu Ben Junlang, who is with the emperor and commands the Hu Ben Lang, who is the scholars from Liangzhou. After hearing Wang Yi's suggestion, Yan Wen agreed very much. He made further additions and implemented a new military system in Guanzhong, giving priority to the distribution of land for the people who are willing to join the army. The price is that these people must serve as soldiers for generations, farm and train in daily life. Once the court has an edict, they will bring their own weapons and food to fight with the army. Doing so can not only ensure the source of troops, but also reduce the burden on the court.

The emperor was very interested. Of course, he knew that this military system was beneficial to the people of Liangzhou. For the sake of land, there were obviously more Liangzhou people who were willing to join the army than Guanzhong. Guanzhong people had land, and the new recruit system was not good for them. They were seriously insufficient in attraction and might even strongly oppose it.

However, this military system is beneficial to the court. Farming in peacetime and following wartime expeditions is actually the farming and war system of Qin. With this, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, he could also defeat Sun Ce. Not to mention anything else, with sufficient military resources and food, he could at least defend Guanzhong.

The emperor asked Yan Wen to think carefully about it. At that time, it was proposed at the court meeting and the governments would discuss it together. Modifying the military system is a major event and requires careful verification. It cannot be determined by the internal dynasty, but also the support of the three dukes and nine ministers of the external dynasty.

Yan Wen bowed and took the order and retreated. He did not delay and immediately rushed to Sikong Mansion to find Yang Fu for discussion. This suggestion was not initiated by Yan Wen, but Yang Fu first proposed, and Yan Wen and Zhao Ang and his wife were both involved. Yan Wen were by the emperor and Wang Yi was by Lu Xiaohuan, and he could always find a suitable opportunity to advise the emperor.

When Yang Fu learned that the emperor was interested in this military system, he was very satisfied. He stroked his short beard and said to Yan Wen: "Once this military system is implemented, the people of Liangzhou will gain a foothold in Guanzhong. However, we still need two helpers."

Yan Wen smiled and said, "Ma Teng, Lu Bu?"

Yang Fu nodded with a smile. "Yes, they don't agree. This military system cannot be implemented. In addition, I would like to contact Jia Wenhe to see if he is interested in implementing it in Bingzhou. With his support, Guanzhong is safe."

"Jia Xu and Sun Ce have been very close. Can he respond to us?"

Yang Fu smiled and was confident. "Bo Jian, this is not the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of each person, but this is the opportunity for all Liangzhou people. Jia Wenhe is the one that Yan Gong likes. He has been an official in the court for many years and has been excluded by Guanzhong people. I believe he will not ignore it. Although he has been close to Sun Ce, he has not been able to submit to Sun Ce for so many years. Now that Sun Ce has become a big shot, he should make a choice."
