Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 455
In the end, Zhuge Jin was arranged to live in Xu Shu's house temporarily, but Liu Yu had to face another difficult thing after returning home with his wife.

There are only two rooms in the backyard, but there are eight people including Liu Yu.

Except for Huangfu Ying, every wife wants to take Liu Yu for herself.

Expansion of the Liu Mansion must be put on the agenda. As for how to treat each wife fairly tonight, Liu Yu decided to follow the example of the emperor.

So Liu Yu found seven plaques and engraved the names of several wives one by one. Just when he wanted to enjoy the thrill of turning over the plaques, he found that after discussion, several wives decided to draw lots to decide who would serve each night. he.

Although the results were similar, the initiative was in the hands of several wives, which made Liu Yu very upset.

In the end, Cai Yan got the lucky lottery, but she gave up the chance to Huangfu Ying.

"Our family doesn't have so many ceremonies for marrying wives and taking concubines. If sister Ying'er wants to join the big family, then do it tonight!"

Huangfu Ying's face was flushed red by the words, but her heart was full of happiness.

"Since my sister doesn't object, then you and your husband can sleep in the west room, and the rest of the sisters can huddle in the east room!"

A family must have a hostess who can be the master. If there are too many hostesses, an older sister must be selected.

Cai Yan was the first to enter the family, so naturally she had the greatest responsibility, and tonight she gave up the power of serving Liu Yu to Huangfu Yinghou, which made the other sisters even more convinced.

…………

The news that Liu Yu returned to Luoyang the next day spread throughout the city.

The imperial court immediately convened a large court meeting to welcome Liu Yu's return, but the regent chose to skip work.

At Chenshi, many generals in the army came to the front yard of the Liu Mansion, followed by Liu Bei, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Ma Teng who had just come to the early court.

Liu Yu listened to their reports, and then arranged some tasks for them in turn, and then asked them to return to their posts.

After everyone left, Liu Yu measured the face of the courtyard with his feet. He measured the front, back, left, and right sides, and then shook his head dissatisfied.

"There are more and more wives in the mansion, and Xiaobai is pregnant. There will definitely be many children in the family in the future. It is time to consider building more houses."

Although the appearance of the palace at the end of Han Dynasty was imposing enough, the interior design and decoration could not satisfy Liu Yu.

Liu Yu prefers the big villas of later generations.

There will be more and more people in the family, so there must be more bedrooms, a larger dining room, bathrooms, chess and card rooms, gyms, conference rooms, large living rooms, garages, racetracks...all of which must be available.

It's just that the land area will be very large. Fortunately, the entire south alley is his, and there is enough space to build a luxury house.

After being busy all morning in the study, Liu Yu finally copied a set of design plans by comparing the architectural books bought from the system supermarket.

Walking out of the room, he called Wu Qian and Zhang Da over.

"I drew a sketch in the morning, which is about expanding the mansion. You two should study it first, and then you can find more craftsmen to start work."

Wu Gan was originally good at civil engineering, and with Liu Yu's guidance, he quickly grasped the essentials on the drawings.

So the two went out together, one to gather craftsmen, and the other to prepare materials for building a house.

As soon as the two left, Zhang Xiu took Lu Kang into Liu's residence.

"Meet the Regent!"

"My lord, no courtesy, just watch the tea!"

At the end of the Han Dynasty, they all knelt and sat, and even drank alcohol and did not drink tea.

Lu Kang's eyes lit up when he saw the well-designed chairs in the hall of the Liu Mansion.

"It is said that the regent is an apprentice of a fairy, and the decoration in this house is really different!"

Lu Kang sat down and tried it, and it felt much more comfortable than kneeling.

"Hehe, it seems that the boss has just come to Luoyang for a few days. In fact, almost all the big families in the city have such seats. Only some court officials still follow the old-fashioned way. On the surface, they use mats to meet guests, but they themselves Have a set of chairs in the study and enjoy it secretly!"

Liu Yu's words seemed to be secretly, and Lu Kang felt nervous after hearing it.

My Lu family moved from Wu County to Luoyang this time because of the help of Mr. Sun Rui, the chief farmer. I heard that the regent has a lot of opinions on Mr. Sun Rui's old-fashioned way of managing agriculture. Let me come to Liu's mansion today. It can't be that there is a picture!

"The regent has a heart for the whole world and a great insight. He has more contact and understanding of innovative things than ordinary people. He is not comparable to the old officials in the court. However, the old officials' conformity is not all bad. If everyone calls innovation, it will not mess with the rules. !"

Lu Kang's words were impeccable, and he also hinted at his approval and support for some of Liu Yu's measures.

Liu Yu saw that Lu Kang was indeed an old Jianghu, so he decided to have a showdown with him.

"I want to help the Lu family become a big family in Luoyang. I don't know if Master Lu is willing to do things for me?"

"The old man is willing!"

When Lu Kang heard the words, he bowed his head excitedly. He thought that Liu Yu would punish the Lu family because of Shi Sun Rui's relationship, but he didn't expect to recruit them.

Lu Kang was unable to resign from the post of Lujiang prefect because he was squeezed out by Yuan Shu. Originally, he wanted to return to his hometown Wu County to serve Sun Jian.

But when I got home, I found that many of the clan's land properties had been taken over by Sun Jian's men, and his nephew Lu Jun was also killed by Jiangdong's army.

In a rage, Lu Kang decided to move his family.

Although the Lu family still has some family background, if they want to take root in Luoyang, only a little family wealth is not enough. If they can rely on the important officials in the court as their backing, the Lu family will have hope of revival.

And Liu Yu's strength is tens of thousands of times stronger than Shi Sun Rui's. How could Lu Kang miss such a good opportunity for the sake of the whole family.

"Ding, Lu Kang, strength is 57, command is 61, resourcefulness is 73, mind is 77, and loyalty is 100."

Lu Kang's aptitude is definitely not good, but Liu Yu smiled after seeing the prompt given by the system.

This is because Liu Yu recruited Lu Kang because he was a drunkard, and Zhang Xiu had already reported that Lu Xun, Lu Kang's nephew, also came to Luoyang.

Lu Xun is 12 years old this year, but because of his father's early death, he is particularly mature. Liu Yu believes that Lu Xun's talent will undoubtedly be revealed in a few years.

Being able to incorporate the Lu family into the ranks of his retainers ahead of time, it will be a matter of course for Lu Xun to be recruited in the future.

"The sweet potatoes and potatoes on the front line of Hulao are already ripe. I would like to recommend Mr. Lu as the Minister of Agriculture to help me promote these two new crops in the Sili area. Would you like to do it?"

"The old man will never let the lord down!"

In fact, not only the experimental field in Hulao Pass had a good harvest, but also the experimental field in Chengmou County managed by Tian Feng himself, and the Fanglin Garden in the imperial city also had a good harvest.

Long ago, Taicang ordered Yang Xiu to write to the court, saying that the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Fenglin Garden exceeded a thousand catties!
Liu Yu talked about the high-yield properties of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Golden Palace half a year ago, but at that time Wang Yun and others were only shocked but did not fully believe it.

Now that the results have come out, the yield per mu has become a reality, and all the ministers of the DPRK and China have exploded.
