On the last day of the twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Kaiyuan in the Han Dynasty, the wind was biting and heavy snow was flying. However, the military and civilians of Chang'an and officials at all levels were guarding the city gate in the wind and snow, standing on tiptoe, stretching their necks to look into the distance, their eyes full of deep expectations.

The reason why these people braved the wind and snow to guard the city was that they all had one purpose, that is, to welcome the royal army who led their army to return to their hometown.

"Your Majesty has led his army to fight outside for more than three years, and now he has finally won a great victory. This is really the greatest blessing for our great men."

"Yes, it is precisely because of the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers that our great men can avoid the Central Plains from falling into war again. Therefore, if it were not for the frontline's mansions and a large number of material resources that were continuously transported out, we would not believe that the war was still happening."

"But even if the materials are transported out, which of the people and merchants who transported the materials are not making a fortune? My Han court has never treated anyone who contributed to the frontline combat, and not as before, he had to pay for the battle for free."

"Oh, this is the graceful demeanor of the Emperor of Han. Looking at the past and present, even the three generations of saints may not be able to achieve this."

...

Everyone praised the Han army soldiers who fought bravely, especially the Han emperor, and looked full of admiration. They were proud of being born in this era.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, they suddenly saw a horse running from a distance. The knight on the horse was flying. When they arrived close, they shouted loudly: "The Emperor's Holy Driving is coming soon, and it is only ten miles away from us."

"What?" After hearing this, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu immediately said loudly: "Everyone immediately set up the team according to the previous regulations and play the music of triumphal. Welcome Your Majesty to return to the court!"

So in an instant, the music sounded, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner according to the previous arrangements to welcome the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was in charge of the army to return to Chang'an.

After a while, I saw rows of soldiers from afar walking in a neat and powerful step, slowly coming. The soldiers in the front row were bright armor, holding horizontal swords, and under their crotch were all excellent war horses in the world. Although they were victorious, they returned to their hometown, met their fellow villagers, and even saw their wives, but these soldiers were still serious, as if even the sky fell, they could not shake them.

"Okay! It's worthy of being the most elite ten thousand cavalry soldiers under Your Majesty. Such a formation is definitely as unmoved as a mountain." Among the onlookers, a civil servant dressed in an amazed.

At this time, an old man with gray hair suddenly said, "Sir, aren't you the scholar who welcomed the return of the Emperor's Saint outside the city gate three years ago? He passed the Jinshi in the last scientific examination? I don't know if the noble man still remembers it?"

But a young man next to the man said, "What scholar? This is the King of Jingzhao, Fan Xiwen, whom we trust, three years ago, a policy on preventing Mongolia attracted the attention of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and was named as the top. Later, he was recommended by Wang Shangshu to work in the Ministry of War, and was promoted to the head of the Ministry of War. In just one year, he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of War. This was an official of the sixth rank. He was the head of the Ministry of War for two years, that is, the fifth rank. Because of his outstanding political achievements, now after the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, he was handed over to the emperor of the dynasty to verdict and appointed as the new King of Jingzhao..."

"Fan Wei, don't talk too much," Fan Xiwen bowed to the old man Chen Laosan and said, "Brother-in-law, I remember the incident three years ago. I really didn't expect that it would take three years to go. Alas, we were welcoming Your Majesty to the West Expedition to the West Expedition to the West, and now we are welcoming Your Majesty to the East Expedition to the North Expedition to the East. At that time, our Han territory was still under heavy pressure from a million troops. However, three years later, the million troops were destroyed. Your Majesty's martial arts are so powerful that our powerful army in the Han court is definitely unprecedented. It is really a blessing to be able to follow such a holy lord!"

At this moment, a shout of "Long live, long live..." came from their ears. It turned out that Liu He had arrived. Fan Xiwen didn't dare to say anything more. He lie on the ground and shouted long live together.

Liu He smiled, but the people were happy together. He entered Chang'an under the urging of the vast majority of his ministers, met with the ministers, and learned about some of the things that had happened in the past three years.

"Your Majesty, the harem is peaceful under the leadership of the Empress. Your Majesty fights with foreign races, and the Empress leads the concubines in the harem to pick mulberry trees and raise silkworms, weave cloth and spin yarn, and sell goods to enrich their military posture. They are actually an example for the people and their mothers are in the world..."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has been supervising the country in recent years. He has followed the prime ministers' opinions and studied the country and made great progress. In addition, Your Highness has also actively discovered talents and sent all these talents to the frontier to serve the country. Although he is young, he is actually promising, and he is really a virtuous prince..."

"Your Majesty, in the last imperial examination, our dynasty admitted 300 Jinshi. Now all of these 300 people have entered the officialdom, either as local officials or as key middle-level officials in the central government. Their talents are amazing..."

"Your Majesty, the Silk Road has reopened and its prosperity is still better than the past. Envoys from Western countries paid homage to the emperor along the Silk Road. They heard that the emperor was still fighting against the thieves, but they actually lived in the inn and refused to leave. They claimed that they would see the emperor's face in person, and that they would suffocate their life's regrets..."

"Your Majesty, last year, the south was flooded and the north was drought. However, our court had good grain storage and abundant supplies. The states and counties in the world jointly fought against the disaster. No one starved to death, and only a dozen people died in the flood. Such a thing has never happened in thousands of years. This year, the weather has been good and the grain harvest has been bumper. Although wars have continued in the past three years, grain storage in various places can last for at least ten years..."

All kinds of good news came to your face. Liu He was very happy when he heard the news, so he naturally had various rewards. For a while, all the court and the country were filled with joy.

At the same time, Liu He was ambitious to announce several major plans for the future development of the Han Dynasty to his ministers:

1. The Great Navigation Plan uses Panyu, Guangling, Yizhou, Silla, Wako and other places as ports to explore several routes from the four barbarians to communicate with the east and west, and trades with porcelain, tea, wine, silk and other items from the Han Dynasty to communicate with each other, and promotes the further prosperity of the Han Dynasty's economy.

2. Adjust administrative measures, implement the provincial system, readjust the original states, divide them into 30 provinces, with road prefectures and counties under the province, civil servants are in charge of local administration, and specialize in military, political, judicial, supervision and other officials.

3. Expand schools, popularize education, and attach importance to education in science and technology, medicine, astronomy, calendar, etc.

4. Hospitals will be set up everywhere to improve medical standards and ensure the health of the people.

5. Develop new machine steam engines, further develop gunpowder weapons and warships, and enhance the combat power of the Han Dynasty.

6. Taking economic exchanges as the core and immigration as a means, strengthen exchanges with other places and prepare for the future assimilation of ethnic groups in other places.

...

A few months later, just when Liu He heard the officials report the progress of various work, Pei Yuanshao came to report: It was Zhang Chunhua who asked for a meeting.

Liu He felt a little excited. He knew that Zhang Chunhua was no longer the Zhang Chunhua that he had been helping him to achieve the greatest meritorious person in the world without regrets for many years - the system, that is, the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword.

After some conversation, Liu He announced that he would marry Zhang Chunhua as his concubine and be named Concubine Mu.

At the same time, the Queen of the Ematai of Japan, Himehu, also announced that she would immigrate to the Han Dynasty. The hundreds of thousands of women from Japan came with her. Most of the land in Japan became a paradise for the immigrants of the Han Dynasty, with only a few Japanese men. However, these people all claimed to be Ryukyu people. Even if they were descendants, they never mentioned the past when they were Japanese.

As for the Song Jiang, who claimed to be granted the title of Japan, although he was lucky enough to save his life, he did not dare to be granted the title because he was alone? Before Liu He left Japan, he firmly requested to resign from his fiefdom and be willing to become an ordinary citizen. Japan later became the fiefdom of Liu Chan, the Duke of Shu, and Liu Chan's title was promoted to a prince, which shocked the world in an instant...

Three years later, good news came. The team sent by Liu He to the ocean finally arrived in the Americas, and successfully established rule there and educated the people. The civilization there was also undergoing a huge change. Liu He was overjoyed and ordered his second son, King Jin Liu Yuan, to go to South America, and his third son, King Chu Liu Yao, to North America, to serve as governor.

Five years later, the people in the south rebelled, and Liu He ordered people to lead their troops to pacify and ordered his fourth son, King Zhao Liu Cong, to serve as governor there.

Two years later, the Western Qin Empire was conquered by the Han Dynasty for killing the Han merchants, and finally wiped out the entire army. Liu He then ordered his fifth son, King Wu Liu Zhiyuan, to serve as governor there.

Later, Liu He was favored by the people because he provided Africa with advanced iron plowing and ox plowing technology. Dozens of countries officially belonged to the Han Dynasty. In order to facilitate rule, Liu He asked his sixth son Liu Yilong to serve as the governor there.

Ten years later, the steam engine was successfully manufactured and was quickly used, and then equipped to warships, transportation, production and other aspects. Under this circumstance, the prosperity of the Han Empire opened a new chapter.
