Tie Zhu smiled innocently, "When we get to Hexi, I'll take you to try some of the local specialties. I guarantee you'll want more!"
At this time, Hexi, thousands of miles away, was a scene of prosperity.
After the Five Pecks of Rice Army was defeated, Liu Feng withdrew his troops and returned to Xijing.
Zhang Yuan and Chen Tingshu, one pacified the refugees and reclaimed wasteland, and the other implemented new tax policies, and managed Hexi in an orderly manner.
Zhang Yuan stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the green wheat fields in front of him, and couldn't stop smiling.

Chen Tingshu said excitedly.
