Xuchang, after a war, finally recovered peace. The trauma of the city was being quickly restored, and smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the people. As night fell, lights were on, and children fighting could be seen from time to time among the bustling crowd. People seemed to have recovered from the pain not long ago, and life began to be on the right track.

Ai Lang sat in the study, while Zhuge Mengxue stood down to report the current situation in Xuchang and the entire Yanzhou: "According to the latest statistics, the population of Xuchang has recovered to about 80% of the previous period, and the situation is much better than we expected. In addition, rebellions in various places have basically calmed down, and governments in various places are resettling the people to resume production in accordance with the king's requirements. It is initially estimated that the grain harvest in Yanzhou, Runan, and Wancheng may be reduced by nearly 50% next year. Not only will it not be handed over to the treasury, but the royal palace will also have to take out at least 1.2 million dan of grain and grass to help the people in various places... "

Ailang felt very depressed and said angrily: "Others who have made a fortune by expanding their territory, but I just happened to the contrary, and I have to pay so much money and food!" Zhuge Mengxue smiled slightly and said: "Now the king is the parents of these people. Parents should naturally take care of their children!" Ailang smiled and said, "I want to be a child!" After a pause, he thought, "I will send two million harbors of food and grass from Huainan soon, and you will withdraw it as needed." "Yes."

Ailang thought, "These two million harbors of food and grass are not only used to help the people, but also to supply military supplies. Maybe it's not enough! It seems that money and grain must be allocated from the east!" Then he smiled as a self-mockery and said, "After this battle, our food and grass will be exhausted!" Then he remembered something and asked, "Have our new farm tools and farming methods been promoted in Xuchang and other places?" Zhuge Mengxue said, "Not yet. After all, these places have been uneasy. But now these places have calmed down, and I am already planning this matter." Ailang nodded with a smile, and couldn't help but say, "You are in charge, I don't have to worry about anything!" Zhuge Mengxue smiled.

When Ailang thought about Luoyang, he couldn't help but ask: "Is there any news from Luoyang?" Zhuge Mengxue said: "I received the news not long ago. According to the current situation, although people's lives have been on track and various preferential policies have been implemented, it may take several years to restore Luoyang to its previous heyday level!" Ailang was not surprised by this and frowned and nodded, "This round of tossing has caused huge population losses in Luoyang. It will burn high incense if it can recover in a few years! Such things cannot be rushed!..."

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said to Zhuge Mengxue, "Okay. That's about these things. You..." Zhuge Mengxue immediately clasped his fists and said, "Since the king has nothing to ask, I still have some important things to deal with, so I will take a break!" As Yingying bowed, she hurriedly turned around.

Ailang looked at Zhuge Mengxue's quick departure silly, smiled bitterly, and muttered unhappily: "Really! Why are you doing so in a hurry? You really have a career but don't have a husband!..." It turned out that Ailang originally planned to be kind to Zhuge Mengxue after he finished speaking, but unexpectedly, before he could say something, Zhuge Mengxue hurriedly, making Ailang feel uncomfortable. Ailang said with emotion: "No wonder men don't like women having careers!" He shook his head and sighed, then stood up and left the study and went back to the backyard.

When I arrived at the lake in the backyard, I met Cao Ying, who was leading a few maids with some things to leave the house. I couldn't help but feel strange. Cao Ying saw Ai Lang face, and was happy, and quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Brother!" At the same time, a pair of slender hands had already hugged Ai Lang's arm. Ai Lang couldn't help but smile, and felt the bloating feeling in Cao Ying's chest. He couldn't help but look down, his eyes lit up, and he leaned into Cao Ying's ear and whispered: "Xiao Ying, this is more

I haven't seen you for a long time. Our baby bottle seems to be much bigger!" Cao Ying couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she heard this. She glanced at Ailang angrily and said angrily: "Nonsense! What are you talking about about the baby bottle? It's obvious that you are the greedy cat sucking it!" Ailang smiled and looked evil. Wan'er and a few maids couldn't help but blush with shame when they heard the conversation between the couple, their faces were red, and their hearts were like deer bumping. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to lift them up.

Seeing that Wan'er and his maids were carrying large and small bags of things, Ailang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaoying, where are you going?" Cao Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I'm going to meet her lover!" Ailang immediately opened her eyes and hugged Dong Ying's waist. Dong Ying didn't expect that his elder brother would react so strongly. He smiled happily, smirked Ailang, raised his fist and gently hit Ailang's chest, and said, "I'm lying to you! Why are you so nervous?" Ailang's face calmed down when he heard this, and glared unhappy: "It's all the mothers of the children, and they're still so naughty!" Dong Ying giggled, and then said helplessly: "I'm destined to belong to you in this life!"

Ailang said angrily: "This life?! This life is not enough? You will be my woman for generations in the future, don't want to escape!" Dong Ying looked at Ailang, and her eyes emitted a shocking look. Then she glanced at Ailang and said angrily: "What a domineering man!" He picked up a finger and poked Ailang's chest, and said helplessly: "Since I'm following you, I have to let you do it!" Ailang only felt a ball of fire rushing up, and couldn't help but bend down to kiss Cao Ying's red lips. Wan'er and others secretly saw this scene, and they were all shocked and turned their heads away.

Ailang kissed Cao Ying with a bitter pain, and she let go until Cao Ying was about to die. Cao Ying fell completely softly in Ailang's arms, with a delicate face and a bright and beautiful look. Cao Ying glanced at Ailang, but was filled with a charming charm.

Suddenly I remembered that there was something to do. I gave Ailang a angrily glance and said angrily: "I almost forgot the matter by your disturbance!" I pushed Ailang gently and left his arms. Seeing the puzzled expression in his eyes, I couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm going to see Mrs. Huan! Don't think about it!" Mrs. Huan was the one who gave birth to Cao Chong for Cao Cao. After Cao Chong was killed by Cao Pi, she went crazy. Ailang entered Xuchang and met Mrs. Huan by chance and placed her in the General's Mansion, which was the former Prime Minister's Mansion. However, not long ago, after Ailang returned to Xuchang, considering Mrs. Huan's crazy situation, she was worried that she would cause trouble, so she moved her to a villa next to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After hearing Cao Ying's words, Ailang suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's the matter! Go. You should go see her too!" Cao Ying asked with a smile: "How about you, brother, go with me!" Ailang was startled and waved his hand and said: "I won't go! You can go by yourself! Say hello to her for me!" Cao Ying smiled, nodded, and said: "Then hello!" Ailang nodded. Cao Ying led Wan'er and a few maids out of the mansion.

Ailang watched Cao Ying leave and couldn't help but smile. Then he turned around and walked towards Yan's yard. However, after he had just walked a few steps, a female guard hurriedly rushed up from behind.

Ailang heard the rapid footsteps behind him and couldn't help but stop and turn around. Seeing the female guard running quickly, he subconsciously felt that there might be some urgent response, so he stopped in place and waited for her to come.

The female guard ran to Ailang, clasped his fists and said, "King, Concubine Dong is here!" Ailang was surprised and asked, "What are she doing when she is so late?" The female guard shook her head, "I don't know."

Ailang quickly walked into the hall and saw Concubine Dong, wearing a narrow waist and long skirt, with beautiful hair as a waterfall, standing there under the support of the palace maid Yuanyang, and immediately stepped forward and clasped her fists and said, "Why is the Empress suddenly coming?" Concubine Dong looked at Ailang, and her beautiful eyes were filled with an inexplicable smell. She opened her red lips lightly, and her tone seemed to be a little resentful: "Does Your Highness, the King of Qin, want to see me?"

Ailang uh, then smiled and said, "How can it be? Speaking of which, I am still your minister!" Then he asked, "Please sit down!" Concubine Dong said huh, and walked to a chair with Yuanyang's support and sat down. Here we should explain that there were actually no chairs in this era. Normally, furniture such as chairs will gradually be introduced to China after the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The reason why this furniture appears now is naturally because of Ailang. After all, Ailang is a modern person and is not used to kneeling and sitting on chairs, so he uses chairs and tables in his place. Also, because Ailang is accustomed to using chairs and tables, it is from top to bottom, and now it is gradually becoming popular among the people.

Ailang sat down opposite Concubine Dong and asked with a smile: "I wonder how the Empress and His Majesty the Emperor have been together these days?" The emperor and the royal family were originally in Luoyang, but given that Luoyang was already on the front line, Ailang moved the royal family and the court back to Xuchang. Anyway, the Xuchang palaces and other things are ready-made, so there is no problem with resettling the royal court.

Concubine Dong frowned slightly, as if she was a little worried. She looked at Ailang and said, "King Qin, I actually have something to ask for...." Ailang nodded and waited for her to continue. Concubine Dong paused and said, "I want to live in the palace outside the city, so please allow the King of Qin!" Ailang was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help asking, "Why did Empress go to the palace outside the city? Isn't it good to live in the palace?" Then his heart moved and he smiled and said, "It's not a quarrel with the emperor!" Concubine Dong frowned and begged, "I'm also asking the King of Qin to agree to my request!"
