"The rumor that Han is going to enter Liangzhou has been circulating for three years. If you go and remind me now, how many people believe it? Even if they believe you, what can they do?"

"Without the pressure from Guanzhong, Liangzhou is in the possession of the Han State. What's more, in the past few years, it seems that the Han State has not entered Liangzhou, but in fact... hey!"

At the end of the sentence, Zhang Gong could no longer speak.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Zhang then understood what his master did not say behind his words.

What the Han Dynasty has done in Liangzhou over the years is basically cooking minced meat. The longer it is cooked and the more it is stirred, the easier it is to eat.

Not to mention the Liangzhou Governor's Office, which is already in a semi-paralyzed state, it was the easiest thing for local wealthy families to raise Hu to respect himself in the past.

And they have always done this.

But what now?

Just based on the various rumors about Longyou, not to mention the Hu people, even the Liangzhou wealthy people also have many people yearning for it.

The Han Dynasty has not yet taken control of Liangzhou, and the cost of raising Hu people has already increased by an unknown amount.

If we really have to wait for the Han Dynasty to take control of Liangzhou, if the wealthy people still want to do what they did before, then they are basically dreaming.

As long as Feng Yong can govern the Hu people in Liangzhou as he did the Hu people in Longyou, within three years, the Han State will be able to recruit at least 50,000 to 60,000 Hu cavalry, and they will be very active in serving the Han State.

Unless the Han State sends someone else to take charge of Liangzhou affairs.

But when you think about Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who was famous for governing Shu, it doesn't look like he was a blind person.

"What should we do? If the sky doesn't fall, life will have to go on as usual. Haven't our Zhang family withdrew from the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion long ago?"

Zhang Gong did not open his eyes and said calmly:

"I am Captain Wuji of the Western Regions, and of course I have to take care of the affairs of the barbarians in the Western Regions. In the past two years, Liangzhou has been cut off from Guanzhong, and it is difficult for envoys from the Western Regions countries to go to the Central Plains. Some people will inevitably have doubts."

"What we have to do is to appease those people and not let the countries in the Western Regions turn away from China."

Zhang Ji responded quickly: "No."

The cold air in Liangzhou has not gone away, but the heat in the south of the Yangtze River has begun.

Since Jianye became the capital of the Wu Kingdom, because Sun Quan planned it on the original basis, and the Wu court moved from Wuchang to Jianye, Jianye has become much more lively than before.

In an alley not far from the Wu Kingdom Palace, most dignitaries live here.

There is a small courtyard in it, which is different from those tall gated courtyards in that it lives independently.

This small courtyard was specially set aside by Sun Quan for Qin Lun, a man of the Qin Dynasty (i.e. the Roman Empire) to live.

Qin Lun had been in Wu for five years. When he first came, he was summoned by Sun Quan to talk about what he saw along the way and the folk customs of foreign countries.

Although it is rare to see Sun Quan in the palace now, the fact that Sun Quan specially approved this small courtyard for him to live in is enough to show that Sun Quan has not forgotten him.

Qin Lun's status is quite special, and he has a lot of free time. He has traveled to many places in Wu over the years and has made a lot of friends.

As a businessman, Qin Lun was overjoyed when he found out that there was such a delicious thing as brown sugar in the world.

Soochow and Xishu have official brown sugar channels, and a certain amount of brown sugar is imported from Xishu every year.

But most of the brown sugar flowed into the palace and was used by Sun Quan for his own enjoyment and as rewards for his officials.

If private individuals and people want to get brown sugar from the Shu Kingdom, they cannot avoid one family, and that is the Zhang family of Wu County.

A few years ago, the Zhang family was purged by Sun Quan through the Jian Yan incident, which severely damaged their vitality and temporarily disappeared from the official circles of the state of Wu.

Fortunately, when Zhang Wen was on a mission to Shu, he suddenly heard an article circulating in Shu, and he immediately expressed his fascination for a certain country boy named Feng.

Considering Zhang Wen's reputation at that time, and how much the Shu Kingdom valued him, Zhang Wen's move really helped Feng Tibi's reputation a lot.

After Feng Tubie learned about this, he tried to establish a correspondence with Zhang Wen, and later became a legendary pen pal.

After Zhang Wen was deposed by Sun Quan, his younger brother Zhang Bai was also exiled to Jiaozhou. He almost died there because he was not acclimatized to the climate.

At that time, Shi Xie's son Shi Hui wanted to rebel against Wu and sent people to the Shu Kingdom for help. Feng Tubou happened to have a brown sugar project and needed sugar cane that was only available in Jiaozhou at that time.

As a result, the two parties established a relationship, and Zhang Bai was protected by Shi Hui and escaped from death.

The Zhang family obtained Feng Tubiao's crude sugar extraction technology and became the general agent of the brown sugar project in Soochow District.

No matter who wants to get brown sugar privately, they can't go around the Zhang family.

In the past few years, the Zhang family has been unable to enter the center of power in Soochow, but in other aspects, it has finally taken a breather.

If Qin Lun wants to get enough brown sugar, he also has to deal with the Zhang family - as long as he gets enough brown sugar to return home, he can get whatever he wants in Da Qin.

Under the influence of Qin Lun's tune, he and Zhang Bai quickly became good friends.

"Zhong Jiang, I have a happy event recently that I want to tell you."

Zhang Bai walked into Qin Lun's courtyard excitedly and shouted loudly.

Qin Lun originally had no character, but he later gave himself the name Zhongjiang, following the habits of the Han people.

Hearing Zhang Bai's voice, he quickly came out to greet him: "What's the good news for Shuhe?"

Zhang Bai raised the paper in his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk later."

When the two of them arrived in the front hall and sat down, Zhang Bai handed the letter in his hand to Qin Lun: "There is a letter from Feng Langjun."

"Feng Langjun?"

Qin Lun quickly took it and took a look. Then he remembered that he had not fully learned Chinese characters. He raised his head again with a look of envy on his face:

"I wonder what Feng Langjun said in the letter?"

He pinched the white paper in his hand. If this kind of paper were placed in Da Qin, I'm afraid it would be worth a lot of money. I heard that Feng Langjun also gave it to the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun couldn't help but sigh to himself, how great would it be if he could also get to know the legendary Feng Langjun?

"This is not a letter from Feng Langjun. I copied an article written by Feng Langjun to his brother."

Zhang Bai explained, his face was slightly red because of excitement, "Zhong Jiang, Feng Langjun has produced another masterpiece!"

"excellent work?"

"Yes, Feng Langjun has written another masterpiece. Reading it makes people leave the world and travel to the fairyland..."

Zhang Bai shook his head and said.

Qin Lun has been studying Chinese in the past few years. People all over the world say that Feng Langjun's article is a work that banishes immortals. Naturally, he cannot miss it.

What's more, he still wanted to get acquainted with Feng Langjun, so he spent a lot of time thinking about things related to him.

At that moment, he hurriedly said: "Shu He, please listen to me quickly!"

"Okay, just listen."

Zhang Bai held up the paper, took a deep breath, calmed down, tried to be solemn, and then said:

"Haike talked about Yingzhou, and it was hard to find a letter in the misty waves... The sky stretched towards the sky, and the five mountains covered Chicheng. The rooftop was 48,000 feet long, and I wanted to fall to the southeast..."

Although he couldn't fully understand the meaning, some of the sentences were enough to make Qin Lun almost uncontrollably jump up and want to grab the paper in Zhang Bai's hand.

The businessman's instinct made him immediately feel that this article seemed to be of great value.

As soon as Zhang Bai's recital finished, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Shuhe, there are many things I don't understand about this article, please answer them for me."

"Zhong Jiang, please speak."

"Where is Tianmu Mountain?"

"I don't know either."

Zhang Bai shook his head, with a look of confusion on his face, "But in my opinion, Feng Langjun is a disciple of a master, and his disciples must have seen him."

(Note: Tianmu Mountain did not become famous until Xie Lingyun in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.)

"Then Feng Langjun has also seen overseas fairy mountains?"

Zhang Bai smiled bitterly, "Zhong Jiang, you are really making things difficult for me. Although I have been favored by Feng Langjun, I have never had a single word with him. How could I know?"

"But according to my opinion, even if Feng Langjun has not met him, his disciples should have seen him. The Xie Gong in this article seems to be a member of Feng Langjun's disciples."

Qin Dian nodded, "I see."

Then there was another long sigh, "If I had met Feng Langjun, I would have no regrets in this life!"
