Shanglin Garden in Chang'an was mostly deserted. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties built Shanglin Garden in Luoyang.

This Luoyang Shanglin Garden is not a garden courtyard in the conventional understanding. It covers an area of ​​more than 300 miles in length and breadth, surrounded by mountains and waterways, and the entrance to the archway is built in Xixiang outside Luoyang City.

Except for the entrance to Xixiang, Shanglin Garden spans five counties. It is a natural scenery and has no city defenses. There are eight military camps built inside, and ordinary people are prohibited from entering privately.

Strictly speaking, Xixiang is not a place name. There are many residential areas in the suburbs of Luoyang. The four suburbs are divided into four townships. Xixiang is the western suburb of Luoyang City.

Liu Cang rushed to Shanglin Garden with dozens of horses under his command. He went to Luoyang first, arrived in Beixiang, entered the outer city and headed west. After leaving the city and running for three moments, he arrived at the area where Shanglin Garden was located.

After becoming an official, Liu Cang and his entourage no longer wore armor and stomach. All members wore military uniforms with swords hanging on them and wore fur cloaks.

Liu Cang wore black clothes with purple silk accessories, and a dark red ribbon around his waist, with a simple royal jade seal hanging on it.

The ribbon he wears is taller than the standard of Shanglin Yuanling. This is what the Han clan clan members who "inherited the family business" showed their status.

In the Han Dynasty, wearing ribbons was strict and marked the hierarchy, but there were not many restrictions on the color of clothing.

The so-called clothing includes clothing and accessories. As long as you don't hang things randomly on your body, yellow clothes are usually popular here in autumn.

The Han Dynasty was a country of fire, and the clothes were mainly red and black. The clothes of the common people were mostly brown, white, black, green, etc., and the colors were not as bright as those of the officials. The fundamental reason was the price of fabrics and dyeing.

If clothing were to be unified into one concept, then there would be a huge dispute over the clothing worn in the Han Dynasty and later generations. Either the Qin and Han Dynasties, or the Jin and Tang Dynasties.

Anyway, when it comes to the Han Dynasty, it is confusing. It seems that if the Han Dynasty did not have a strict and strict dressing system, it would be as if there was no law of heaven.

Nowadays, "white clothes" does not refer to wearing white clothes, which are not cheap. "White clothes" means that the whole body is not decorated with any ribbons, which is the so-called "people wear white clothes and dare not wear colorful clothes."

Just like the military uniform Liu Cang wore at this time, without the accessories and without the ribbon around his waist, even if he was dressed in black, he would be called white.

Liu Cang dressed simply and accompanied Liu Cang, all wearing black cloaks. It was already winter, and these fur cloaks made it easier for everyone to wear less bulky clothes. There were tiger skins, bears skins, and badger skins. There was no shortage of furs in the Deer Park now.

After Liu Cang's constitution exceeded 200, he was somewhat invulnerable to cold and heat. After the Dianwei attribute was broken through, the same feeling proved that this thing was not special to Liu Cang.

Liu Cang and Dian Wei's cloaks were flying when they were running, while everyone else who was accompanying them wrapped themselves tightly.

The war horse breathed white mist, Liu Cang sat down and hissed in the wind, and beside him was a dragon bird carrying a halberd.

Hissing Wind has reached Level 3, but its foundation is too weak. Although its overall state at Level 3 can barely catch up with Zi Qiao and Sha Li Fei, it is still not as good as Longque and Lu.

However, Xi Fengxun and Liu Cang are very coquettish and will make all kinds of noises if left in Luyuan.

Even though it can't beat the dragon bird, because of its relationship with the spiritual beast, the dragon bird that Liu Cang accepted did not dare to fight back against it. If Liu Cang rode the dragon bird but did not ride it, Xi Feng would bite and kick it, bullying the dragon.

bird.

Liu Cang had more than 600 war horses and more than 300 plow horses, barely enough for a thousand horses. If the cavalry was not trained, they would usually be herded together.

As for Ziying and Shalifei, they were basically completely useless. Liu Cang very unscrupulously tried his best to let these two famous horses ride on mares. He even instigated Hua Tuo to help him prepare some medicine to feed the horses.

Nowadays, while other horses are running outside for training, the two famous horses basically squat in the horse pen, eat and drink well, and recover their strength.

Lu is a little mare, well, forget it, I won’t go into details.

Longque is a special species, so Liu Cang is not willing to do anything harsh to Longque. He regularly pays it some public food, and waits until next year to harvest more spiritual marrow and produce a few high-quality farm horses and war horses.

Put in more effort.

Now more than two hundred horses have been conceived in Luyuan, and the neighing winds of the draft horses should be strengthened after they give birth. The six cows under the long-haired hands are also pregnant with calves. After a year of hard work, some results have finally been seen.

By next year, when the pigs and sheep have grown up and the soldiers have been trained and worked hard, Liu Cang is thinking about trying to raise carnivorous beasts like jackals, tigers and leopards.

He Jin wants to block his meat sales? Just block him. Liu Cang really doesn't expect to make money from these pigs and sheep in a few years. As for a few years later, it depends on the situation. There should be no progress by then.

It took almost an hour to run from Luyuan to Shanglinyuan. Liu Cang's entourage, including Dian Wei, looked smug. There were soldiers guarding the stone archway in Fangshi. A group of eunuchs were standing in front of the archway and looking at it from a distance.

Liu Cang and his party.

"Lü~~" reined in the horse and walked slowly. The war horse walked. The archway with the inscription 'Shanglin Garden' is engraved on it. The stone is slightly rough. Dozens of animal sculptures stand side by side on both sides of the road. The gray stone-colored archway sculptures are the entrance to Shanglin Garden.

It adds a bit of quaint and wild atmosphere.

"Mu Qi pays homage to all of you!" Liu Cang approached, and the eunuch in front of the memorial arch bowed to everyone from afar.

Following Liu Cang's dismount, Liu Cang, Dian Wei, and Pan Feng came out. The three of them had sashes hanging on their waists. Although everyone behind them was dressed in white, they were secretly happy in their hearts.

Nowadays, in their line of work, they are either officials or officials, but they are all well-off.

"Are you the supervisor here?" When he came to Mu Qi's side, Liu Cang asked him to excuse himself. The eunuch in front of him was nearly fifty years old, with a strong body but a head full of white hair.

"Order to return to the garden. Earlier, Shanglin Garden was under the control of Bi Changshi. I am working as an errand under Bi Changshi, and I am responsible for the affairs of Jianzhang Palace on weekdays."

As Liu Cang moved forward, Mu Qi extended his hand to guide him and followed Liu Cang softly. The guards in front of the archway did not look sideways. As Liu Cang walked into the entrance of Shanglin Garden, the sound of horse hooves on the cobblestone road was heard.

"Huh~~ Is this the new Shanglin Yuanling? I heard that he has killed many people before he even reached the crown. This group of people is so evil." Liu Cang walked by, and a guard relaxed his body and looked at the person beside him.

softly.

"Keep your voice down. Your Excellency is killing the Yellow Turban Bandits. I heard that Your Excellency has led a battalion of troops. If we can join your battalion, we may have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. It will be better than standing guard and wandering around all day." The soldier beside him said.

Goo.

"What's wrong with standing guard? Our family was an Orion, and we had no worries about food and clothing even if we guarded Shanglin Garden." Another soldier said.

"What's good? A man should fight on the battlefield, earn meritorious service, and ascend to the emperor's palace." The soldier held out his chest.

"Okay, why don't you go to the Emperor's Hall? How many of those imperial guards can see His Majesty? It's not as good as the number of times we can see His Majesty." A soldier curled his lips.

"Hey~hey~ let me tell you, I have inquired and found out that the officials following Mr. Yuan Ling were all cavalrymen under Mr. Yuan Ling earlier, and they all entered the Beigong. I don't know which one will be our commander in the future."

A soldier forgot to look at the backs of Liu Cang and others, and said with a little envy.

"Really? Those women too?"

".

"

The soldier whispered. Liu Cang faintly heard it and looked at Mu Qi beside him.

"Sir, they are all from the villages in Shanglin Garden. They have lived in Shanglin Garden for generations. They know very little about external affairs, which makes you laugh." Mu Qi said softly.

"Nothing. Bi Chang sent you here, what's the explanation?" Liu Cang waved his hand and asked.

Shanglin Garden is not a small garden, and it is no joke that it spans five counties. Some people with heroic ancestors were moved into Shanglin Garden to form villages, and the troops stationed in the garden also gave priority to selecting people from these villages.

"Back to your lord, Sir Bi Changsheng asked me to tell you the situation in Shanglin Garden in detail. If you find me useful to you, I will serve you at your side."

"If the adults don't need the villain, the villain will be transferred back to Bi Changshi."
