Liu Tan looked at the letter in his hand and took a deep breath. Originally, Liu Che still had time for him to prepare when he came in May, but now it was brought forward to mid-April, and there was only one month left when he was fully booked.

He couldn't hold back and secretly wrote a letter to Liu Ju, wanting to ask what happened.

The summer solstice is a big festival. In the past, Liu Che would stay in Chang'an during the summer solstice and winter solstice. Why did he come here this time regardless of the summer solstice?

Although the weather is indeed a bit hot by the time of the summer solstice, and the journey is a bit uncomfortable, but his annual east tour is also after the summer solstice.

Liu Ju replied quickly, and he didn't know why Liu Che suddenly changed his mind. He just heard that the empress and empress had a quarrel, and turned around and Liu Che was about to come over early.

Liu Tan looked at the letter and felt that if this was an ordinary family, he could still understand it as an upset with his wife and wanted to hide away.

But if it is put on Liu Che, even if he doesn't want to stay in Weiyang Palace, he can go to Jianzhang Palace and other places, and there is no need to hide so far.

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and finally gave up guessing altogether. Don't guess the emperor's heart. Anyway, what he originally wanted to do now is fine.

He said helplessly to Li Ling, "Get ready, and leave for Guanshi tomorrow."

Li Ling was a little surprised: "Don't you want to stay here for two more days, sir?"

"Father changed his mind and wanted to come over in mid-April, we have to hurry up, and I have to go back and make arrangements for the meeting."

The only advantage this time is that there is no need to rush to build Liu Che's palace and it is summer, the Longevity Palace is flourishing, and there is no need to spend money to maintain the landscape.

Li Ling was also a little nervous after hearing this: "Your Majesty came here early? Then I'll go and tell them to pack their things immediately."

Liu Tan looked at the plan in his hand, thought for a while and decided to finish writing it, the only thing that gave him a headache now was that it seemed that none of his subordinates were particularly good at this aspect.

Among the few people who passed the exam before, Xiao Cheng had a bit of talent in this area, but he was young and dared not entrust such a big matter to the other party.

Liu Tan thought about whether he could take advantage of Liu Che's visit this time and ask him for a few people, so that he would not have to go to a blind date.

In fact, Liu Tan is really not very good at matching people, he doesn't have enough social experience to support this matter, Huo Guang and Jiang Chong are both "self-guided", Li Buyan is his adopted brother, and Wei Buyi is also a sinister By mistake, he was not the one he chose.

Even Zhu Shanzhang was not selected by him, but by Liu Che for him.

The ones he chose were all in the academy, and rumors spread because of Xu Lin's disability.

Those students didn't say anything too radical, they just thought that Xu Lin was blind, how could he teach them?

But in Liu Tan's view, this is unqualified.

No matter what the people around him think in their hearts, generally no one will easily poke someone's sore spot. Saying such things on the surface is embarrassing for the other party, and at the same time it shows that he has no self-cultivation.

These students... Liu Tan estimated that there would not be many left in the end.

Forget it, anyway, Liu Che will send someone to manage the shop sooner or later, so he will leave the matter to his father.

Don't you have to help your son when he becomes a father in the early days of his business?

Thinking of this, Liu Tan became more confident.

He went through the plan again, and from the current point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, the plan is definitely not perfect, but if it is perfect, why do you need someone else to do it?He can roll up his sleeves himself!

Liu Tan put the plan aside and put it away, preparing to leave tomorrow. At the same time, he wrote to Huo Guang, telling him the news that the Emperor Convulsion was coming early, and at the same time mentioned to him about the silver medal before.

Of course, what he told Huo Guang was to ask him to find someone to receive those businessmen.

The status of businessmen is low these days, not to mention meeting Huo Guang, even Huo Guang's subordinates Xiao Cheng and Yan Xingsheng are not worthy of seeing them. Although Liu Tan did not mean to look down on businessmen, if he thinks highly of each other, he will look down on his own officials. Anyway, leave this matter to Huo Guang, he can rest assured.

The most important thing for him now is to go to Guan City for a stroll, and then quickly come back to enclose the land, and then go back to Shuofang City directly after finishing it, so the time is quite tight.

Liu Tan also thought about whether he would not go to Guanshi, but since they all came, he was a little unwilling not to go. After all, with the current traffic conditions, even if the road was repaired, he didn't like to go out very much. It was too much.

Early the next morning, Liu Tan set off for Guan City directly.

Although the distance between Tongda City and Guan City is very close on the map, in fact, they still slept in the wild for a day.

When it was time to reach Guanshi, the person in charge of Guanshi who was far away led people to greet him.

This person was sent by Liu Che, his name was Zhou Huang, and he seemed to be the elder brother of one of Liu Che's concubines.

However, there are too many such fake relatives, and Liu Tan can't remember them all. It's just because the other party's status is more or less polite.

Zhou Huang didn't have any great skills, and he was still a little uneasy after being thrown into Guan City. After seeing Liu Tan, he cautiously asked, "Does Your Highness have to go?"

Liu Tan asked, "What? Didn't it mean that it's already built?"

Zhou Huang forced a smile and said: "The main reason is that the Huns often come over, and the officials are worried about their safety."

Liu Tan knew what he was worried about at a glance, but it was not surprising. For those who had never seen the Huns, the Huns were synonymous with barbarism. They belittled and hated the Huns but also feared the Huns.

He asked, "How many guards are there in Guan City now?"

Zhou Huang said, "A total of 1000 people."

Liu Tan's brows stretched: "1000 people is not a lot. This pass city was requested by the Huns, so they probably wouldn't do anything."

Zhou Huang said in a low voice: "Your Highness, every one of the Huns is an elite soldier and strong general. Even businessmen are not easy to deal with one by one. If they are impulsive, even businessmen in Guanshi can form a team." Team."

Liu Tan looked at Zhou Huang and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Huang rubbed his hands together: "I heard that your elite regiment seems to be coming to protect our merchants. When... when will it come?"

Liu Tan immediately understood what he was planning, and couldn't help laughing: "I'll send people here for a maximum of one or two hundred days, and there can be no more."

Who is to blame for getting so many soldiers to come to this city?

And it's not good for his people to have too much contact with the Huns.

Zhou Huang whispered, "It's fine to have 200 people, as long as your people come here as soon as possible."

The corner of Liu Tan's mouth twitched: "You have nearly a thousand people under your command, what are you doing with the 200 people staring at me?"

Zhou Huang smiled wryly: "There are quite a few subordinate officials, but I don't understand anything."

"Those soldiers are led by their own officers, so you don't have to worry too much."

Zhou Huang looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Highness doesn't know, those school lieutenants and generals who came this time are all from similar backgrounds to lower officials."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, and then heard Zhou Huang continue to say: "Your Highness must be clear about the origin of the official, and there is no need to hide anything. It is His Majesty's favor to have such an errand, but... this time, His Majesty's grace is a little bit too much."

It's not that Zhou Huang didn't trust the soldiers, he didn't trust his own colleagues, so what if 200 men from the King of the North came?Back then, the King of the North brought hundreds of people and beat Wushilu away!

This thigh must be hugged!

After hearing this, Liu Tan couldn't help laughing: "It just so happens that Father Huang came over before the city closed, so I'll mention it when the time comes."

Zhou Huang was overjoyed immediately: "Thank you, Your Highness, please come this way, Your Highness."

At this time, Guan City is still very empty, but this time Liu Tan's shop is at the forefront—his shop has already been renovated!

Liu Tan was a little surprised, he didn't order to go down before.

Zhou Huang followed him, looked at his expression, and said: "Seeing that the city is about to open, His Highness's shop has not been moved, so the lower official decided to send someone to Tongda City to have a look, and then simply according to His Highness's preference. Cleaned up."

Liu Tan took a look at him and understood why Liu Che treated him differently among so many fake relatives. This insight is really rare.

He praised Zhou Huang a few words, and just about to continue to say something, he heard some noise not far away, the most important thing was that he heard the Hun language.

As it was about the Xiongnu, Liu Tan immediately sent someone to have a look.

Li Ling took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Your Highness, let me go, I have been learning the Xiongnu language from Marquis Wei Wu all those days ago, just to see the results."

Liu Tan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that you should not be abducted by the Huns to be your son-in-law.

However, Li Ling's reasons were normal, and he couldn't stop him, so he let him go.

Not long after, Li Ling came over with a Hun with a serious face and said, "Your Highness, this man said that their master wants to see His Highness."

Before Liu Tan said anything, Zhou Huang sneered and said, "Whoever wants to see His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm can see him?"

The Huns glanced at Zhou Huang, and Zhou Huang suddenly felt overwhelming pressure, and his forehead began to sweat.

The Hun smiled contemptuously, and turned to look at Liu Tan.

Liu Tan had been observing this person just now, and suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "I remember you."

Li Ling immediately translated it into Hun language, and the Hun was a little surprised.

Liu Tan said: "The last time Captain Zuo went to Shuofang as an envoy, did you follow him? I remember that there was also a very good translator at that time."

The Huns must have looked at Liu Tan for a while, then grinned and said something, Li Ling hesitated and said: "He said that His Highness really has a good memory, even a small person like him."

Liu Tanxin said that those who were able to go to the big man were people of some status, and this person should have been the person who protected the safety of Captain Zuo at that time. This was the potential enemy of the big man, of course he should pay more attention.

Liu Tan said: "You go back, no matter who your master is, I'm not interested in seeing you."

The Hun said another word, and Li Ling said, "He said that His Highness will meet after seeing his master's token."

Liu Tan turned to look at the Huns, and then saw that man took out something from his arms, held it in front of Liu Tan with both hands.
