    The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was recuperating in Chengji County for two days. Lu Qi was indeed on duty at Shaoli. He spent most of the time sitting cross-legged outside the door. At other times, he occasionally went to wash up and pay respects. When he had meals, he was called by the emperor to join him. When he left, he would change to Lin.  Feng' led ten soldiers on duty, and other squad members were also on duty as usual, silently accepting Lu Qi's intervention.  At three o'clock in the morning, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty left Chengji County and headed straight for Hehuang. This time the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty went to Longyou to visit Hehuang and Hexi, and he might go to Beiting.  When traveling by car, Lu Qi rode patiently on the left side of the car. There were many reasons for his loyalty. The main reason was to try to prevent Emperor Zhou from dying in Longyou. Of course, he meant being stabbed to death. If Emperor Zhou died of illness, then it would not matter.  He is not allowed to commit regicide.  From Qinzhou to Weizhou, I spent a day training in Longxi County. From Weizhou to Hezhou, I stayed in Lanzhou Border County for a day, and then arrived at Linxia County in Hezhou.  Lu Qi had already prepared a residence for the emperor. The next day, the emperor was not well-educated and left Linxia County in high spirits to inspect the fields near the Daxia River. A group of civil and military officials from Hezhou accompanied him, and naturally Xiao Zhili was also there, and  Today, Xiao Zhili is obviously the highest official in Hezhou. The garrison and local military and political officials all regard him as his leader. The governor of Hezhou, Zhiqu, does not dispute his authority. However, when accompanying the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Zhili naturally became a low-key follower.  Emperor Zhou looked at the lush grain fields and was in a good mood. Lu Qi and five courtiers, as well as the governor of Hezhou, were accompanying him nearby. However, Lu Qi was next to Zhao Pu. In the past few days, Zhao Pu was  He took the initiative to talk to Lu Qi twice, and clearly showed a casual affinity. Lu Qi also had a good impression of Zhao Pu.  "Tianfeng, Hehuang should be able to be self-sufficient in food this year." Looking at the grain fields, Emperor Zhou suddenly asked gently.  "Your Majesty, if there are no accidents, self-sufficiency is certain, and there can be a lot of surplus. It is estimated that the surplus can support an army of 300,000 people. However, in order to encourage Hehuang's farming to resume as soon as possible, I will only give Hehuang a grain tax of three years.  Take 30%, and the rest belongs to the landlord and is allowed to be sold by merchants," Lu Qi replied.  Emperor Zhou nodded after hearing this, and other ministers looked at each other. Lu Tianfeng's grain tax collection was twice that of Da Zhou. Seeing that the grain fields in Hezhou were growing well, if he could collect 60% of the grain tax, he could solve a lot of military rations.  Consumption, especially the army stationed near Jingzhao Mansion, is facing long-term food consumption.  "When the autumn harvest is over, I will send people to buy grain." Emperor Zhou said peacefully.  "If it is for military grain procurement, I will let the soldiers and civilians of Hehuang sell the grain at a price that is 30% lower than that of Jingzhao Mansion." Lu Qi responded. Emperor Zhou nodded, and the emperor and his ministers reached a verbal agreement.  After visiting the Daxia River for a while, the emperor returned to Linxia County for rest. Two days later, the emperor drove to Huangzhou. After arriving at Qingtang City, Qingtang City temporarily imposed martial law and no Tibetan merchants and residents were allowed to travel.  Emperor Zhou sat in his car and looked outside. He saw that there were many shops in Qingtang City, and the buildings were quite ancient and beautiful. The governor of Huangzhou had already written a letter to report, saying that Lu Tianfeng had reached an agreement with the Tubo tribe to reopen the tea and horse trade, so Qingtang City  business is booming.  However, the governor of Huangzhou also reported that a large amount of tea, silk, and porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River had arrived in Qingtang City to trade with Tibet. This showed that Lu Tianfeng had contacts with the Jin State. After receiving the report, Emperor Zhou even wanted to patrol the west.  To Longyou.  Emperor Zhou had been recuperating in Qingtang City for five days. He often asked his eunuchs to go to the city to buy some goods, including goods from the south of the Yangtze River. Of course Lu Qi knew about it, but he pretended to be confused and refused to explain. He didn't want to hide it at all.  Once it is covered up, it becomes more obvious.  Tubo is very thirsty for the goods from the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to tea for its own use in large quantities, other goods can be sold to the nobles of other tribes, and other tribes can sell them far away. Silk and fine porcelain are the favorite items of the nobles, especially those made of silk.  The clothes are definitely a symbol of nobility.  Five days later, Emperor Zhou drove away from Huangzhou and went to Lanzhou Jincheng. He stayed in Lanzhou Jincheng for four days to see the Yellow River flowing through the city. He climbed up the tall city wall and looked into the distance. The emperor and his ministers enjoyed the beauty nurtured by the Yellow River together.  Although the scenery in the west is tiring, it is very enjoyable and in a good mood.  Four days later, the emperor drove to Liangzhou, walked through the Gulang Gorge, and stayed in Herong City for a day. The emperor and his ministers walked up to the city wall and talked about Lu Qizhi's capture of the Gulang Gorge.  The emperor and his ministers talked a lot about the natural dangers, but Lu Qi defended the failure of the 100,000 Zhou army.  One day later, the emperor drove to Wuwei City. The emperors and ministers who had never seen Wuwei City were very attracted to the buildings of Wuwei City. Throughout the ages, Liangzhou has always been a legend in the hearts of the Central Plains people. There are many stories about Liangzhou. When Liangzhou is mentioned,  It reminds people of the heroic feelings of fighting with iron horses and lying drunk on the battlefield.  The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was stationed in the Wuwei Palace. The Wuwei Palace had been tidied up again, but the slaves in the palace were all ordinary women. Without the presence of foreign beauties, it was very difficult for King Cao.In order to use the beauty trick, he could only deal with the Zhou Emperor in a polite manner.  Lu Qi naturally accompanied him in the palace. Emperor Zhou was very interested in walking around with his ministers in the Wuwei Palace, appreciating the characteristics of the foreign architecture. Lu Qi had indeed never entered this palace, and turned around curiously.  .  "Tianfeng, have you never come in here?" Emperor Zhou asked with a smile.  "Your Majesty, I have never come in. This palace was once the palace of King Xia. I just let my servants enter to clean and decorate it." Lu Qi replied.  Emperor Zhou nodded and suddenly asked: "Did King Cao live here last time?" Lu Qi nodded and said: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Cao is a prince and should live in this palace." Emperor Zhou turned to look at him, Zhao Pu  He whispered: "Lu Shangshu, the emperor's palace, the prince is not allowed to live in it." Lu Qiwei was startled, and then said: "This was the palace of Duke Xia in the past. It is not a palace. Now that your majesty is here, it is a palace." Zhao Pu listened.  He smiled and said: "What Lu Shangshu said makes sense." Emperor Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this, and continued to walk around. After walking for a while, Lu Qi suddenly said: "Your Majesty is on a tour of Liangzhou, and he would like to leave a handwriting on the stele pavilion.  " Emperor Zhou stopped when he heard the sound, but stood there without saying a word. Suddenly, the accompanying minister Song Qi said respectfully: "Your Majesty's tour to the west is for the great power of the Zhou Dynasty. As Lu Shangshu said, I second my opinion. " "The great Zhou Dynasty is powerful in Liangzhou, your Majesty.  Leave a name for the ages, Lu Shangshu said, I second the proposal." Zhao Pu also bowed and said.  "I second the proposal." Other ministers expressed their support clearly.  "You, sir, please leave your handwriting." Emperor Zhou responded with a smile.  "Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty." All the ministers knelt down, and each of them was a little excited. As a subject, once you become a highly respected minister, if the biggest temptation besides power is to achieve eternal fame, that is  A lasting reputation that benefits descendants.  The next day, the ministers and the emperor handed over the calligraphy to Zhe Weizhong, who built the stele pavilion. Zhe Weizhong himself also wrote the handwriting. Lu Qi's old routine is the Liangzhou Ci for Grape Wine Luminous Cup.  However, Zhe Weizhong simply recounted his visit to Liangzhou on a certain day in a certain year. Similar to his trip here, the civil servants all wrote wonderfully, some were lyrical, some recounted wars, and some wrote travel notes.  The act of leaving handwriting on the stele pavilion was not Lu Qi's intention to flatter the emperor, but Zhao Pu secretly suggested him to do it. Lu Qi accepted the suggestion obediently. In fact, he was somewhat conflicted in his heart. He just wanted Emperor Zhou to be safe.  It's okay if you just travel for a while, I don't want to have a reputation of being a flatterer.  After staying in Liangzhou for four days, the emperor set off for Ganzhou. After arriving in Ganzhou, the emperor and his ministers visited the oasis grain fields in Ganzhou and were surprised that Ganzhou had large areas of rice. Although Emperor Zhou had seen the imperial  It is written in history, but I was surprised to see it with my own eyes. Looking at the prosperous farming and animal husbandry in Ganzhou, it is estimated that Ganzhou can support a population of five to six million people just based on the crops produced in Ganzhou. According to records, during the Tang Dynasty, there were Feng in Ganzhou and Feng in Hexi.  The words that are enough are indeed true.  Emperor Zhou actually stayed in Zhangye City for ten days, and personally traveled in the city several times in civilian clothes. What he saw was a scene of people living and working in peace and contentment, and prosperous commerce. Without the destruction of war, he vigorously implemented the emphasis on agriculture and business, making Ganzhou  As the permanent and floating population surged, Zhangye City was obviously the ruling center of Hexi.  Ten days later, Emperor Zhou drove to Juyanhai, visited the beautiful Juyanhai, left Juyanhai and returned to Zhangye City to rest for a day, and then drove to Suzhou, Guazhou and Shazhou, still enjoying the day.  I went to Beiting and met Shi Zhongfei who had already settled in Beiting.  Emperor Zhou stayed in Beiting for fifteen days before driving back to Hexi.
