    After Liu Cong left Xiangyang, the Ma family, the Kuai family, and the Cai family jointly invested money to renovate and expand the former Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and built the current Hanwang Mansion.

    Although the center of Liu Cong's rule will gradually move to the north in the future, Xiangyang is the place where the King of Han first rose. With a person that the King of Han misses so much, he will naturally come back often.

    The heads of the Ma family, the Kuai family, and the Cai family are all human beings. Now the situation in the world has become clear. The worst situation for Liu Cong, the king of Han, is to own one point out of three points in the world.  If you think on the bright side, it is not impossible to achieve the 95th Five-Year Plan. The bigger you invest now, the greater the returns you will receive in the future.

    Therefore, the scale of the Han Palace in Xiangyang City is not much smaller than that of the Han Palace in Luoyang City. The Han Palace in Luoyang was built at the level of a royal palace, so Xiangyang was naturally built at the level of the emperor's palace. Anyway, as the King of Han, who  Don't know what to say?

    When King Liu Cong of Han came back, the palace was very lively. Liu Ba, the governor of Jingzhou, led all the officials, big and small, to greet him.  Ma Jing, the president of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, led a large group of merchants from all over the country to pay homage to Liu Cong, the King of Han Dynasty, and brought various gifts.  Among these merchants, there were those from the Western Regions, Persia, and even the Great Qin, which was the Roman Empire.  When these blue-eyed, yellow-haired people first appeared in Xiangyang, the people seemed to look at them as monsters. If the big man hadn't protected the interests and safety of the merchants, they would most likely have been kept as pets by the local tycoons.

    Now the people in Xiangyang City are accustomed to the merchants from Qin Dynasty, and these people are very popular because they bring goods that are not available in the Central Plains.

    The palace of the King of Han was very lively, and the maids and servants were carefully selected. The King of Han's current status, in the eyes of the people, was more noble than that of the emperor in Yecheng.  If you don't serve the prince and several princesses well, then the crime will be serious.

    It¡¯s like celebrating the New Year, it¡¯s been lively for several days.  Liu Cong took the three ladies on a beautiful tour inside and outside Xiangyang City.

    Xiangyang Academy is naturally the place to go. Groups of students from here go to serve as officials in various places, and those well-educated people all come here to be the teachers of these students.

    Liu Cong¡¯s arrival once again made all the students excited, and his impassioned speech made the blood in their bodies seem to swell.  This time Liu Cong instilled in them the concept of the world, making them all full of longing for places other than the Han Dynasty. At the same time, they were determined to become officials in remote places and benefit one country after completing their studies.

    While playing outside the city, Liu Cong went to Lumen Mountain. Sima Hui and Pang Degong had already gone to Luoyang Academy, and Huang Chengyan was the only one here.

    When he first came to Lumen Mountain, Liu Yuxi's "Inscription on the Humble House" recited by Liu Cong was engraved on a stone tablet in front of a hut in Lumen Mountain. It can be seen from the footprints left in front of the tablet and the path leading here.  Look, a lot of people have been here.

    Since Zhuge Liang had surrendered to Liu Cong, Huang Chengyan respected Liu Cong very much, and the two talked in the hut for more than an hour.

    At first, Huang Chengyan talked the most, but gradually Liu Cong became the protagonist. Huang Chengyan¡¯s knowledge range is very wide, and he can be said to be proficient in hundreds of schools of thought.  However, he did not expect that Liu Cong's erudition was no worse than him. More importantly, he had his own unique insights into each school's theories, and could point out the advantages and disadvantages of each school, as well as the deviations in the understanding of the theories by later generations.  The place.

    When the discussion was over, Huang Chengyan's whole attitude changed again, and he was absolutely shocked by Liu Cong.

    Now he is completely convinced that Liu Cong, like sages such as Yao, Shun, and Yutang, is a generation of wise masters who shoulder the great responsibility of heaven.

    Three days later, Ma Zhong found several people who were feeding pigeons and brought them to the Han Palace.

    When Liu Cong and several ladies entered the backyard of the Han Dynasty, everyone was surprised to see dozens of pigeons foraging, playing, and jumping up and down in the courtyard.  Because they are all raised, they are not afraid of people at all, and there are still a few bold ones flying around Liu Cong and others.

    Liu Cong gently stretched out his hand, and two pigeons landed on his arm, pecking at Liu Cong's armor with their small beaks.

    The pigeon raisers were shocked when they saw it and quickly knelt down.

    "Your Majesty, I forgive you"

    "Your Majesty, I forgive you"

    "Ha" Liu Cong laughed a few times, "Get up!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Liu Cong gently teased the pigeons, and more pigeons flew over.

    Looking at their cute chubby appearance, several ladies also became interested, and those who raised pigeons quickly gave themLet Liu Cong and several ladies spread some food to the pigeons.

    After feeding for a while, Liu Cong and others came to the shade. The servants quickly brought up two plates of meat and two plates of eggs.

    "Your Majesty, these are fresh pigeon eggs and pigeon meat, just made by the best chef in the mansion. Please taste them, Your Majesty."

    Smelling the aroma of pigeon meat, the three ladies were probably a little hungry and showed strong interest. Liu Cong looked at the lively pigeons in the yard and thought to himself that the business philosophy of the ancients was no worse than that of today's people!  Isn¡¯t this the prototype of a farmhouse?  If this was a small farmhouse, it would indeed have a unique charm.

    After eating, Liu Cong brought several pigeon raisers to the study.

    "How long have you been raising these pigeons?"

    "Reporting to the prince, I have had the little one for two years!"

    "More than a year old"

    "I just started raising my little one, it only took half a year"

    Liu Cong chatted with them, and after further understanding, he learned that raising pigeons came from Persian merchants. At first, merchants in the Han Dynasty were unwilling to raise pigeons because pigeons must fly. If you try to catch them, they will all fly away.  , wouldn¡¯t it be in vain?

    But later, after trying to raise pigeons, I discovered that no matter how far the pigeons fly, they can always know the way back. Even if some pigeons cannot fly back that night, they will definitely find a home the next day, so some businessmen in Han Dynasty began to raise pigeons.

    The pigeon¡¯s meat is delicious and deeply loved by officials and aristocratic families, so the market is very good.

    "I plan to raise pigeons, and I'm going to let you guys take charge of it. Is that okay?" Liu Cong asked after understanding it clearly.

    ¡°It is a small man¡¯s blessing to be able to raise pigeons for the prince!¡±

    "The villain will definitely raise pigeons for the prince!"

    When several people heard that Liu Cong wanted them to come to the palace to raise pigeons, they suddenly became excited.  Although the status of businessmen has improved nowadays, there is still some gap compared with those of officials.

    "Raising pigeons for the King of Han has a completely different status. To put it bluntly, he has an official status. How can they be unhappy?"

    "But the pigeons that this king raises are not ordinary ones used for eating meat, but a kind of homing pigeon!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
