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 that he is also 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. Reasonable? What a joke, when will the Empire ever 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 a bit of a sigh at most.

"I will continue to pay attention here 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, something happened, and Roma is still there to take care of it, so it's not a big problem. Roma is the first to be unlucky, and then we are the unlucky ones." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "Well, what are you cooking in the dining room tonight? "

"If it tastes good, then go to work for a while? If it doesn't taste good, then you can get off work now, right?" Li You directly said the second half of what Chen Xi was thinking.

"Absolutely." Chen Xi didn't deny it, that's what he really thought.

"It's cannon and pancakes tonight." Guo Jia said casually. The kitchen specially 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 are 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.

"While working, we want to have dinner by the way." Fazheng said casually, "It's rare that the eldest princess orders the Emperor Bazhen to be served in the dining room. It's 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 a thing 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. Therefore, after realizing this, Liu Tong asked the dining room 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 complaint.

"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. Although he ate it secretly and no one cared about it, only here this thing is the Eight Treasures of the Emperor!

While a group of people in the Political Yuan were chatting and having a big meal at night, 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 Guard and prevent the border troops from being more capable than the Imperial Guard, 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 Guard, 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, Liu Bei had already met 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 guys that Liu Bei doesn't know at all. This kind of little return 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 here 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 Euphorbia soldiers, and Uncle Guang to kill the Huns. I was stationed behind. Jizhou also divided the house. "

Liu Bei began to recall, and then he did recall that there was such a person under Li Huan, but he had never seen him. Recalling Jiang Guang, he also recalled that there was such a name, but he had never seen him. When he conquered Jizhou and asked the elite veterans to suppress Jizhou, he seemed to have seen this name when the houses were divided, but he didn't see him. Thinking about it again, he seemed to have heard someone mention this name during the Jizhou case, but he still didn't see him.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Bei looked strange. So I saw you in the merit book so many times, but I didn't see you?

"When I was in Guandu, I was injured and carried away when I cut the halberd soldiers. When I was in Beijiang, I was injured and carried away when I cut the Northern Xiongnu Guards. When Jizhou was divided, I was recovering from my injuries. When you called on the veterans to attack the Ganges later, I was in the Ganges." Mei Wan said helplessly. He was also helpless. Every time he had the opportunity to see Liu Bei, he was either cut or cut people.

"But, I still saw it." Liu Bei said with a smile. Sometimes, such unlucky situations do happen. But now Mei Wan is safe and sound. She has been injured so many times, but she is fine. This is also a skill.

"Brother Mei, come out and pick up the express." Just when Mei Wan was about to say something teasing, he heard someone outside calling him. Mei Wan quickly apologized to Liu Bei, and then walked out quickly to see what the express was.

Then Liu Bei saw Mei Wan bringing four children in, and he was stunned. Isn't it a express?

"Quick, call Lord Xuande." Mei Wan bowed to Liu Bei while holding the four children. Liu Bei looked at the four children and touched them from his body. He gave each child a red envelope, and then Mei Wan declined while letting the children take the red envelope.

"Strange, there are only children, but your wife didn't come with you?" Liu Bei asked curiously after the children left. Mei Wan had just been transferred from Hebei, and her wife and children had not come yet. Now that the children have arrived, Mei Wan's wife has not shown up yet. What's going on?

It is said that since the children have come, the wife should have come with them. The previous files have written about Mei Wan's wife's situation. After all, it is best for the imperial guards to marry and have children.

"My wife is originally from Sanfu. She went to her parents' home first and stayed there for a few days. I had someone inform her that I had arranged it so that she and the children could stay here. She said that her parents' home had something to do and she had to stay for a few more days, and then she sent my three daughters and one son by express delivery." Mei Wan said somewhat embarrassedly, "But the express delivery from Sanfu is really fast. Her letter arrived with the children, and the children hardly ate the food they brought."

"Wait? Your wife sent your children by express delivery?" Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and he didn't understand what this operation was.

"Yes, the logistics industry in Jizhou has been developed in the past two years. My workplace is a bit far from my hometown. My wife sends my children to my workplace every half a month. After eating and drinking for a while, I will send them back from the logistics center." Mei Wan said casually, not thinking there was anything wrong, or could there be any problem?

"Will there really be no trouble?" Liu Bei asked with some doubts.

"What can happen?" Mei Wan didn't understand what was wrong. "Just prepare more food for the children when you leave. Anyway, you are pulling them with a car, and there are people watching all the way. You are walking on the official road. You need to confirm where you are going every day. And for children, there will be someone to confirm it at the local station. The speed is much faster than walking by yourself."

Liu Bei said that he really didn't think he could do it this way, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was no problem. As for child trafficking, the logistics industry of the Han Dynasty was officially opened, and the stations were also professionals from the military. Mei Wan was on duty at the Changshan Logistics Center before.

"In the past, we would ask someone to bring the child along. Later, we found that we could get a transportation certificate and hang the child around the neck. It only cost a little money and the child would be sent along. It was also convenient. In Jizhou, many people had to go out and couldn't take their children with them, so they just sent their children to their relatives' homes." Mei Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and looked proud.

This operation was actually done by Mei Wan and other veterans who moved back to the local area and joined the Jianyong Han Logistics Group. Jizhou was one of the first states to promote the logistics industry, and the logistics industry was relatively developed compared to other places. However, due to the particularity of the logistics industry, many veterans could not be arranged in their own towns.

If other veterans were arranged in faraway places, there was really nothing they could do. They could only see their children a few times a year. However, the brothers who looked after the scene in the logistics industry were different. They could ask local brothers to take their children to the station, and then take a ride to the station where their fathers were.

Because they have been in large stations for a long time, they will naturally see some things that are sent to their own towns, and they have also seen things sent from their own towns to their stations. The existence of such things makes Mei Wan and others realize that they can ask local brothers to bring their children to the station when picking up local goods, and then send them with the goods. When passing through this station, they can just carry the children and it's done!

Especially later, after the logistics industry established by Jian Yong in Jizhou flourished, Mei Wan's gameplay became more convenient. There were goods from their own towns to their own stations every day. In other words, they could send their children back and forth every day.

Originally, this was just a benefit for a person in the logistics industry. Until one day, a local man had something to do and asked someone to work on his behalf. 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. It happens from time to time, especially when veterans move, posting destination notes for their whole 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 did not 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. Kidnappers don't dare to mess with anti-human things like kidnappers, because once 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 will not 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, Queen Mother Dou. Queen Mother Dou's biological brother was abducted by traffickers when Queen Mother Dou was a child. Later, Dou Dou When the Queen Mother became Queen, she was able to find her biological brother.

When asked about his brother's experience, he was mining in a black kiln and hundreds of people died, leaving only his brother. How could he bear this? The traffickers 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. Cutting the flesh from the bones, breaking the limbs, and then cutting the throat. Queen Mother Dou’s intention was very obvious. Steal children and separate the parents and children, right? OK, arrest them. 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 human traffickers were caught according to the old rules. So these days, you can buy and sell people, and you can also have a child after discussing with other families. But if you steal a child, die!

In short, the laws of the Han Dynasty were indeed strange in some places. If you killed someone, you would usually be punished with the death penalty. If there was a reason, you might not have to die. But if you stole a child, you would definitely want a quick death if you were caught.

Chen Xi thought it was a bit strange, but Chen Xi thought it was understandable, so he didn't change it. As a result, the number of kidnappers has basically dropped to nothing these days.

After all, the Han Dynasty won't chase them too closely, as long as they can get past it. If you hide, it's not a big moral problem, and the Han Dynasty will just turn a blind eye. If you abduct a child, you will really be chased. Cut.

"Lieutenant, is Taiwei here?" Mei Wan asked someone to prepare some braised pork from outside. He also brought some of the people around him who were familiar with him, and also brought over the distinguished elders Liu Bei had met, and prepared them at home. There was a table for dinner, and I was going to have a meal with Liu Bei and his old buddies, and show my face. But before the banquet started, someone was shouting outside.

"Here you are, Lieutenant Commander is over here." Mei Wan greeted outside.

As soon as these words came out, Huang Tao appeared in the courtyard 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 is equipped with Xinying, it may not be as fast as Huang Tao's when he is desperate, and Huang Tao often brings 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 can see Cao Zixiu wearing Mianqi." Huang Tao said 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 isn’t, 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’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 soon become unstable again.
